The ve Organization''s headquarters, named "The Top!" was operating as usual. ves carried out the tasks they were supposed to do, even if they didn''t want to.


    The Officers, assigned to keep an eye on them, were resting somewhere—toozy to look after "pests."


    Even the security unit stationed at the main gate was justzing around. Some yed cards, while others simply slept in their chairs.


    In a small building beside the main metal gate, screams filled with agony could be heard. However, no one seemed surprised. Why would they be? This was just a normal urrence here at the headquarters.


    Nobody came here to the destends, not even Spiritual Creatures, so the guards were not the least bit worried. Unfortunately, they couldn''t leave their posts unless they wanted to face punishment.


    A young man with a muscr build, standing easily at a height of seven feet, sat atop the metal gate, looking around.


    His name was Jiu Long, and he was a neer, so he took his job more seriously than others, patrolling...with his eyes.


    As he raised his head to look further north, already expecting to find nothing, he stopped. His eyes caught a figure walking toward them, with eyes burning like an infernal me. Enjoy more content from m-v l''e-NovelBin


    He narrowed his eyes, feeling a sense of danger from her. But knowing that hispanions, including their leader, were there, he didn''t fear anyone.


    Especially since the iing figure was alone.


    He jumped down andnded outside the closed metal gate. The others paid little attention to his movements, too busy with their own business.


    Jiu Long crossed his arms over his chest and waited. It didn''t take long for the figure toe close as she walked toward him.


    That was when Jiu Long finally saw who the figure was. With long crimson red hair flowing in the wind, a curvy figure, and dark, strange clothes, a young woman approached him.


    At first, Jiu Long was wary as no normal person would daree here alone. But when he noticed the woman''s cultivation, a smirk appeared on his face.


    Lust began to overtake his mind as he looked at the young woman greedily. He had been frustrated for days because their leader would bring many women everyday and promise them that he would the women to them after he was done with them.


    However, his cruelty was too much, and none of the women survived a single day. Jiu Long was already frustrated listening to the moans and screams as their leader toyed with them, and all of them dying afterwards. He has not tasted a single women since he joined the post.


    ''Ah! It''s good that I noticed her first. It was a good idea to keep a watch,'' a malicious glint passed through his eyes as he licked his lips. ''I''ll taste this girl alone!''


    Afraid hispanions might notice her, Jiu Long decided to move toward her. He kicked his feet against the floor and shot toward the young woman, who was still leisurely walking toward the headquarters.


    Jiu Longnded right before her and opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he felt a light touch on his cheek. It was warm andfortable...


    As thosest thoughts passed through his mind, his entire body lit up in bright crimson mes. The mes consumed his flesh, blood, everything—including his soul.


    It happened so quickly that Jiu Long didn''t even have time to scream before his body turned to dust.


    That was all it took for a Mid-Stage Foundation Realm Cultivator to turn to dust.


    "What a weakling~"


    Xiao Lan, the red-haired woman, spoke as she looked at the pristine white bones sprawled before her. She had left them on purpose.


    She picked up the skeleton by its neck, causing some of the bones to disconnect and drop to the ground.


    Her lips curled into a maddening smile as she spoke.


    "Fortunately, I have my gloves on, so my hand won''t be dirtied."


    Shen Yu''s clothes always came in handy, allowing her to move freely and use anything she wished without clothing restrictions.


    Taking a step forward, Xiao Lan began dragging the skeleton toward the tall walls. The wind blew, making her hair flutter and carrying the ashes with it.


    As she reached the metal gate, she found two middle-aged men standing there, looking at her warily.


    They had sensed some Qi fluctuations nearby and came to investigate. Who would have expected to see a young woman dragging a skeleton in her hands?


    They might have had simr thoughts to Jiu Long if they hadn''t seen the sight before them. It unsettled them, especially the crazed look on the woman''s face.


    One of them, a middle-aged man wearing silver armor, pointed his sword forward and spoke. His voice was a little shaky but still carried the arrogance befitting his status.


    "Introduce yourself and state your reason for visiting!"


    Xiao Lan stopped and looked at them in confusion, as if they were idiots. She raised her hand, showing the skeleton, whose bones collided with each other, producing an eerie sound.


    "Can''t you see?"


    The guard tightened his grip on his sword and grunted, "Just state your reason for visiting!"


    Shaking her head in disappointment, Xiao Lan said,


    "You two really are idiots!"


    If they hadn''t realized Xiao Lan was here to cause trouble by now, they truly would have proven her point.


    The other guard, also in silver armor, waved his hand. Five arrows made entirely of fire appeared above his head, which he shot at Xiao Lan, hoping it would be enough to kill her.


    Watching the iing Fire Arrows, Xiao Lan snickered, "ying with fire against me? Now that''s something new!"


    She began tough, confusing the guards, who didn''t understand what was going through this lunatic''s mind. But they soon did.


    The Fire Arrows, which should have been enough to incinerate a Foundation Realm Cultivator, stopped right before Xiao Lan as if afraid to move forward.


    With a light smirk, Xiao Lan said,


    "Want a return gift?"


    With that, she sent the Fire Arrows back at the two guards, who couldn''t dodge in time as mes engulfed their bodies.


    This time, screams filled the area, alerting everyone. They looked like human torches, trying to extinguish the mes by any means necessary, but they couldn''t.


    Xiao Lan was the Divine Phoenix in her past life, and using mes against her was the most foolish decision one could make. She hadplete control over every me, even those created by human Qi.


    "This is getting a little boring."


    Xiao Lan muttered and smiled. Gripping the skeleton tightly, she ignited it with her mes, causing crimson mes to burst from it.


    She stretched her arm back slightly and hurled the ming skeleton at the metal gate. It looked like a small meteor descending, ready to destroy anything in its path.


    With a loud explosion, the metal gate was sted off as smoke rose into the air and the ground shook.


    Everyone on duty was already on the move when they heard the screams, and many were heading toward the gate, caught off guard when the gate was sted open.


    The metal gate was heavy, crushing many beneath its weight—or rather, parts of it. The gate itself was broken into many pieces after the explosion.


    However, not everyone was caught up in the st; only those at the Essence Gathering Realm or below failed to react in time. Higher-ups were still alive, boiling with anger.


    A woman in herte fifties waved her hand, causing gusts of wind to form around her and slowly take the shape of a tornado.


    The tornado cleared away the dust and dirt, also extinguishing the mes that had caught various parts of their small resting area.


    They could finally see the destruction the explosion had caused, and what they saw made their blood run cold.


    Many guards were dead, buried beneath the broken pieces of the metal gate. Parts of the wall were also sted off, showing the power behind the attack.


    All eyes instantly fell on the young woman, walking leisurely amidst the chaos she''d caused.


    When they sensed her cultivation, a chill ran down their spines as they all had the same thought:


    ''How could an Early-Stage Foundation Realm cultivator cause this much damage?''


    The walls and metal gate were engraved with defensive Rune Formations, and not just anyone could break them—not a Foundation Realm Cultivator, for certain.


    However, they''d been proven wrong right before their eyes.


    Xiao Lan stopped before a broken rock that had fallen from the wall and kicked it away, revealing a skeleton with only a torso remaining. Some of its skull was also missing, along with many other bones.


    "You''ll do for now!"


    Xiao Lan picked it up once again and shouted.


    "So, who wants to test this skeleton next? It''s pretty powerful, you know."


    As her words fell, everyone ced their hands on their weapons and readied their techniques. They shared nces and came to a decision.


    ''Kill her together!''
