After the Fairy Maidens Fell to Darkness, They Captured Me to Ruthlessly 'Repay' Their Gratitude-Chapter 216 - Senior Sister, Haven’t You Realized Who’s in Charge Now?

Northern Frontier, in the city of Muyun.

Today was a beautiful day with clear skies and bright sunshine. The city was bustling with cultivators, lively and full of energy.

But when an overwhelming force of abyssal energy erupted from the rooftop of the tallest building in Muyun City, all that peace and beauty were shattered.

Boom!

The explosion of abyssal energy tore through the upper floors of the building, shattering windows and doors, with black smoke billowing out, covering the city in a terrifying aura.

On the streets below, countless cultivators looked up, dumbfounded by the spectacle, unable to comprehend what had just happened.

The top floor of that tallest building housed none other than the Destined Heroine, An Luo Yi!

Who would dare to attack the Destined Heroine so boldly?

As the smoke cleared, and the soldiers saw the figure of a young man in holy robes standing on the rooftop, everyone was stunned as if their minds had exploded.

If their eyes weren’t deceiving them, that young man in holy robes was standing on the rooftop, holding down the silver-haired maiden in a golden dragon robe with one hand.

Not only that, but he had his hand directly pressed against her chest!

At this moment, endless abyssal energy flowed mercilessly from the young man’s arm into the maiden’s body, surging endlessly. The power of this strike was terrifying. Just from the pained expression on the silver-haired maiden’s exquisite face—flushed cheeks, clenched teeth, and a sheen of sweat—it was clear how much she was suffering!

The cultivators witnessing this were left speechless.

They had never seen the proud and aloof Destined Heroine in such a humiliating position!

Finally, a high-ranking cultivator snapped out of it—

“This is bad! That’s Holy Son He Yuan from Spirit Phoenix Sect! Lady Luo Yi is in danger!!”

His words jolted everyone awake.

In just a few seconds, more voices joined in protest. The soldiers thought of their admired Destined Heroine being defiled by a cultist’s hands, her pure body tainted by abyssal energy. They were filled with rage and protective instincts, their cultivation flaring like wildfire!

“How dare you, He Yuan!”

“Do you think Dragon Dynasty has no one to stand against you?”

“How dare you trespass into Lady Luo Yi’s chamber! You’re courting death!”

“Everyone! Follow me to assist the Destined Heroine!”

“Hurry! Activate the Four Corners Demon-Slaying Array to seal Muyun City. Don’t let that damned cultist escape!”

...

...

...

While Muyun City was in an uproar,

On the rooftop of the tallest building, An Luo Yi lay beneath He Ange. He pressed his hand against her chest, forcibly channeling abyssal energy into her soul and spirit without mercy, marking every corner of her being.

During this time, no matter how An Luo Yi struggled to resist, the mark on her abdomen glowed with a dazzling purple light. The mark wasn’t just locking her desires; it also sealed her dantian and meridians, leaving her powerless to fight back.

Her cultivation was easily suppressed by He Ange. In front of this young man in holy robes, the proud Destined Heroine felt for the first time the oppressive rule of a superior!

“He Ange, what kind of mark did you place on me...”

An Luo Yi gritted her teeth, her beautiful face filled with humiliation and defiance as she questioned him.

Because at this moment, An Luo Yi finally realized that the mark He Ange had placed on her abdomen was now revealing a “Demonic Phoenix Unfurling” pattern.

It was more fitting to call it a “Phoenix Mark” rather than just a mark!

Previously, the Phoenix Mark was small and inconspicuous, so An Luo Yi hadn’t paid much attention to it.

But now, through countless nights of dual cultivation, it had taken root deep within her body, absorbing her spiritual power and secretly developing to its full potential...

Now, the Phoenix Mark’s grand wings spread across her abdomen like a peacock displaying its feathers. The totem’s light was both enchanting and eerie. Its core connected to her soul, allowing An Luo Yi to clearly feel He Ange’s abyssal aura permeating her being!

An Luo Yi never imagined that all this time, He Ange had been planting such a Phoenix Mark on her! She had trusted him so much, yet he had branded her soul with something akin to a “slave mark”!

What shocked An Luo Yi even more was that in just a few months since their separation, He Ange’s cultivation had reached such an impressive level.

She could see within him the ancient power of the abyss—majestic and overwhelming—like a true phoenix commanding all beings...

An Luo Yi even felt that she was no longer a match for He Ange. In his tall and imposing figure, she sensed an undeniable authority.

In the end,

An Luo Yi never expected He Ange to actually harm her!

She thought he wouldn’t dare humiliate her like this; she thought he wouldn’t dare harbor rebellious thoughts against her...

“Senior Sister, don’t you like my Phoenix Mark?”

Seeing An Luo Yi’s eyes filled with shame and anger as she glared at him, He Ange remained calm. His hand still pressed against her chest; he could easily use the Phoenix Mark to lock her cultivation.

Though the Destined Heroine possessed extraordinary resilience and physique, with He Ange’s current level of Phoenix Mark implantation, he couldn’t fully control An Luo Yi’s body. If she truly wanted to break free from his grasp, she could potentially overpower the mark...

But so what?

An Luo Yi couldn’t truly harbor rebellious thoughts against him; He Ange was confident.

To break free from the Phoenix Mark required animosity towards its creator.

She had already accidentally killed He Ange once.

That incident left an indelible scar on An Luo Yi’s heart.

Now, she couldn’t allow herself to feel any murderous intent towards him just to break free from a mere mark.

Without even the resolve to kill him, how could she possibly break free from the Phoenix Mark?

“So Senior Sister doesn’t like me.”

Seeing her discomfort with the Phoenix Mark issue, He Ange feigned disappointment and sighed.

“I like you—I do like you!” An Luo Yi hastily retorted.

“You like me but won’t accept my love?”

“If you truly love me, why betray me?”

“If Senior Sister truly loves me, there would be no talk of betrayal because wherever I am is where your heart belongs...”

“Nonsense! He Ange, stop twisting words!”

The silver-haired maiden seemed angry—biting her lip as she glared at him with both annoyance and grievance.

She was still a proud Destined Heroine. Being in a subordinate position naturally provoked An Luo Yi’s rebellious nature. Her proud spirit wouldn’t easily submit to anyone’s forceful attempts at control.

Now,

Suppressing her rebellious instincts not to show hostility towards He Ange was already giving him considerable face.

Meanwhile,

He Ange was momentarily taken aback by his senior sister’s scolding.

He glanced outside—seeing numerous cultivators surrounding them from all directions—the entire city stirred—countless cultivators rushing forward intent on capturing this blasphemous cultist...

“He Ange—let me go now—I can hold them off for you—cover your escape from Muyun City...”

Despite feeling conflicted inside,

An Luo Yi turned away—her tone carrying hints of compromise and compassion.

Love—of course she still loved him.

An Luo Yi scolded He Ange only because she didn’t want to be enslaved by his Phoenix Mark—like parents scolding their children but still calling them for dinner—

Given the situation,

An Luo Yi no longer hoped for He Ange to stay with her because she knew what kind of place Dragon Dynasty was. She couldn’t even protect herself here; she wouldn’t foolishly claim she could protect him too.

She just wished he wouldn’t get caught by other Dragon Dynasty cultivators.

But for all her concern,

The young man in moon-white robes merely smiled gently.

He reached out to pinch her cheek—his eyes filled with warmth—as if petting a cat—his affectionate smile tinged with mockery at his kind-hearted senior sister. Despite being upset about the Phoenix Mark issue—she put aside her emotions in critical moments—thinking first about how to protect him—to help a man trying to control her escape from Muyun City...

“Senior Sister—you’re so adorable—I want to take you away from Dragon Dynasty.”

“He Ange—you...”

An Luo Yi admitted that hearing those words made her waver—and feel tempted—

But quickly,

She turned away—murmuring softly: “Taking me requires ability...”

Just as she finished speaking—the rooftop was flooded with cultivators—

“Evil disciple He Yuan!!”

“How dare you! Release Lady Luo Yi!!!”

In an instant,

Dozens of elite cultivators unleashed their power—brandishing swords and spears—killing intent radiating—

Moreover,

The entire sky above Muyun City was covered by a terrifying demon-slaying barrier—in such a city-level barrier—even a fly couldn’t escape!

At this moment,

An Luo Yi looked at those fierce cultivators—and then at the white-robed youth pressing down on her—her heart filled with urgency—her beautiful face tinged with despair:

“He Ange—you really should go!”

“Now—the city’s defensive artifact is activated—the Four Corners Demon-Slaying Array has at least Void Refinement level power—even Void God realm demon lords can’t break free quickly!”

“He Ange—take me hostage if you must! I’ll protect your escape!”

The more she spoke—the more anxious she became—

Seeing those cultivators unleash endless killing intent towards him—and seeing his calm demeanor—

She felt like she was about to burst with worry—

An Luo Yi didn’t understand what he intended—she truly didn’t want him killed by Dragon Dynasty cultivators—

When they activated that array—

She even felt hopeless—

What if he died again trying to see her today?

As she anxiously tried offering advice—

On another part of the rooftop—

Several cultivators began casting various attack spells—

“Celestial Art: Fiery Cloud Sword!”

Spiritual energy imbued into sword blades—

Several powerful sword energies surged forth from dozens of cultivators—

Seeing those blades aimed at his head—

In that moment,

An Luo Yi instinctively tried rising up—to shield him from harm—

But she was suppressed—unable to move—

“Oh—it’s finally done.”

In this critical moment—the white-robed youth finally reacted—ceasing his infusion of abyssal energy into An Luo Yi—then smiling contentedly—

Simultaneously—a pair of abyssal wings unfurled behind him—

A true phoenix spreading its wings—a gust of abyssal wind swept away countless sword techniques launched by surrounding cultivators—

“Senior Sister—you’re so worried? Do you love me that much? Afraid I’ll die in your arms again?”

Even as more cultivators surrounded them—He Ange remained unfazed—teasing An Luo Yi playfully—

He sat up—releasing his hold on the silver-haired maiden now infused with abyssal energy—taking a deep breath before exhaling slowly—

Seeing An Luo Yi still looking worriedly at him—

He sighed again—exhaling deeply—

“Senior Sister—you still don’t understand.”

“I’m no longer that little junior brother who needed your protection.”

Halfway through speaking,

He snapped his fingers while secretly crushing a sword pill—

Instantly—a torrent of abyssal sword intent surged through heaven and earth—the sword energy transformed into laser beams—sweeping across Muyun City’s sky—

In seconds,

Under An Luo Yi’s incredulous gaze—

Countless cultivators were obliterated by sword energy—reduced to pools of blood—souls scattered!

At this moment,

Though not suppressed,

An Luo Yi sat stunned—her legs trembling—with fear coursing down her spine—momentarily unsure how to react amidst floating pools of blood above—

With just one snap,

He obliterated countless elite Nascent Soul cultivators?

This level of power rivaled even Void God realm demon lords?!

He Ange glanced back at An Luo Yi’s shocked expression on her cold face—noting her disbelief—and felt satisfied with his “little magic trick.”

Feigning depth,

He smiled coldly—standing with hands behind his back—leaving behind an impressive silhouette for his stunned senior sister—as he walked away lightly—

At this moment,

In An Luo Yi’s eyes,

His moon-white embroidered robe exuded extraordinary aura—the entire silhouette radiating an aloofness akin to celestial beings far above—the likes of which even she—a mere Destined Heroine—couldn’t compare—

“An Luo Yi—instead of always worrying about me—you should consider your own situation.”

“Next time if you’re trapped again—I won’t save you.”
