The Traitorous Disciple Struck Back, Nine Nether Void Realm

"Traitorous disciple, what... what are you trying to do?"

"Hehehe, Master, you have devoured your disciple's cultivation for over seven years. It is time to return it to your disciple."

"You... ah..."

A scream rang out from within the Inner Hall. After quite a while, Mei Yingyin lay sprawled on the bed, her face pale and her eyes vacant.

"Damn it, does the system have to screw me over this badly? That was golden quality, yet I only advanced to the Azure Rank."

"And this Alluring Shadow Divine Art was clearly Mei Yingyin's own cultivation technique. You actually handed it out as a reward?"

Zhu Zishan berated the system, but it gave no response. Helpless, he summoned that treasure, only to immediately curse again.

"I have never seen such a half-assed system. At least change its appearance a little. A strip of rag hanging from a damn wooden stick is supposed to be a Soul Banner?"

"Master, do not blame your disciple. Your disciple repays kindness with kindness
