Yu Lu clasped her fists respectfully and saluted with the utmost humbleness, but her body remained tense, ready to deal with any unexpected events at any time.

Everyone present was also attracted by this sudden change. Their eyes all turned in the direction Yu Lu was looking, with curiosity and vigilance written all over their faces.

Zou Mubai, the three brothers of the He family, Xu Chong and others were even more nervous, watching the darkness vigilantly, fearing that something unexpected would happen.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked out of the darkness. She was wearing a wide cloak that completely covered her body.

Despite this, everyone could still vaguely see that this was a woman who was not very tall.

Her steps were steady and calm, and every step seemed to be in the rhythm of time, neither hurried nor slow, and she was calm and composed.

As she moved forward, the air around her seemed to solidify, and even the wind stopped.

After a few steps, she came to a place not far in front of the barrier and stood there quietly, like an insurmountable mountain, attracting everyone's attention to her.

The edge of her cloak swayed gently in the night breeze, but her face was hidden in the shadow of the cloak, making it impossible to see her true appearance.

However, from those eyes hidden in the darkness, everyone could feel a deep and unfathomable power, as if she was the controller of this world and everything was in her control.

Yu Lu lowered her head, not daring to look directly into the eyes of the mysterious woman. She knew very well that her failure this time had angered the boss.

What awaits her next will be even more severe tests and punishments.

The woman in the cloak stared at He Ronger through the wide brim of her hat with an almost scrutinizing attitude.

In those eyes hidden in the shadows, complex emotions flickered—resentment was like a poisonous snake in the abyss, hatred was like a raging fire, intertwined with an indescribable unwillingness and anger.

Her eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the long river of time and look directly into every corner of He Ronger's heart.

He Ronger felt uncomfortable all over as she was stared at like this, as if she was tightly restrained by an invisible force, and even breathing became difficult.

Her heart was filled with doubts and confusion. Such eyes and such atmosphere made her feel unprecedented strangeness and fear.

"Do I... know you?" He Ronger's voice trembled slightly. She tried hard to search her memory for any fragments about this mysterious cloaked woman, but unfortunately, it was a complete blank.

"What kind of deep hatred do we have that makes you hate me so much?"

Upon hearing this, the woman under the cloak curled up her lips into a sneer, and that smile contained too many complex emotions, including ridicule, anger, and deep helplessness.

"Don't you know?" Her voice was low and hoarse, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth. "For so many years, my only goal in life was to find you and kill you with my own hands. You still don't know anything about it, and you're still asking me this?"

As she spoke to the end, the cloaked woman became more and more emotional, her voice choked and trembled, as if the resentment and pain that had been pent up in her heart for years had finally found an outlet at this moment.

Her body was trembling slightly due to the fluctuations of emotions, and her fingers under her cloak were clenched into fists, as if she was ready to launch a fatal blow at any time.

Such a reaction made He Ronger even more confused.

At this time, the three brothers of the He family who had just landed looked at her back and frowned at the same time.

The second oldest, He Tianhong, stared at the figure of the cloaked woman and asked tentatively, "Are you... He Lian'er?"

Hearing this, the cloaked woman suddenly turned around and looked at He Tianhong, then laughed out loud: "Haha, I didn't expect that the first person to recognize me would be my good second brother!"

After saying that, she no longer tried to hide her figure, and took off the hat on her head, revealing a beautiful little face.

Seeing this scene, several sect leaders and elders present were shocked and pointed at He Lian'er with surprised expressions.

"She, isn't she dead?"

"Yeah, I saw her fall into the lava with my own eyes, how is she still alive?"

Hearing the questioning voices behind her, He Lian'er slightly raised the corners of her mouth and looked at He Rong'er, Zou Mubai and others with a smug look on her face.

"How is it? Didn't expect that I'm still alive, Big Brother."

Her words "senior brother" stunned everyone in the barrier, and they all turned to look at her.

Zou Mubai looked at this familiar face and asked with a frown, "You...you are Mu Lian?"

He Lian'er smiled, her smile was cold and indifferent, "I didn't expect that Senior Brother would recognize me so quickly. I'm very happy."

Ying Qi looked at He Lian'er in confusion, then looked at Zou Mubai and asked, "Big Brother, you said she is the second senior sister?"

His eyes were filled with disbelief. Second Senior Sister doesn't look like this.

At this time, He Lian'er seemed to understand what Ying Qi meant, and chuckled and said, "Yes, I am your second senior sister, Mu Lian. The reason why I changed my appearance is that I was reincarnated like her."

As she said this, she raised her slender jade finger and pointed at He Ronger who was standing next to Xu Chong.

He Ronger was still in shock.

She was shocked that the person in front of her was indeed He Lian'er, and she was not dead yet!

What was even more surprising was that she turned out to be the reincarnation of the second senior sister, the one who wanted to kill her a thousand years ago.

Unexpectedly, after a thousand years, the grudge between them not only did not disappear, but was instead mixed with a lot of new and old grudges.

At this time, Yu Lu knelt down and said respectfully: "Master, I have failed to do my job well. Please punish me!"

When Zou Mubai and the others saw this, the little bit of nostalgia for the past in their eyes disappeared, and was replaced by deep disgust and hatred.

"Mu Lian, why are you doing this? Master was very kind to you in the past, and we brothers and sisters were also good to you. Why did you choose to become an evil spirit? Why do you target my junior sister everywhere?" Zou Mubai asked in a cold voice.

This is what he has wanted to ask for all these years, and he thought that if he couldn't find Mu Lian, he would never have the chance to know the answer.

He Lian'er, also known as Mu Lian, put away the fake smile on her face when she heard this.

She waved towards Yu Lu, and everyone saw that as soon as Yu Lu approached her, she was grabbed by the neck. Then, in front of everyone's eyes, Yu Lu's cultivation level plummeted, and her body seemed to have lost its vitality, and finally she collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

"This is the consequence of not doing things right! You should be thankful that I didn't see you before I was reincarnated a thousand years ago."

After saying that, Mu Lian took out a silk handkerchief and wiped her hands casually, then looked at Zou Mubai and the others.

"You all think I'm wrong? No, I'm not wrong. You're the ones who caused me to be in this situation. I want you all to suffer the consequences of your actions!"

Having said this, she casually raised her hand and pointed into the distance, and a shocking scene suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

At the edge of the isolated island, which was originally empty and lonely and seemed only connected to the boundless ocean, hundreds of men in black suddenly appeared like ghosts.

These people stood in neat rows, forming an impenetrable human wall, isolating the island from the outside world.
