The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon! novel Chapter 1165

Chapter 1165: Chapter 1165: We’ve Faced This Test Before

Since they knew they would face Shu’e, neither Scarlett Jennings nor the others would be unprepared.

Though Stella Gibson’s spiritual power was constrained by the Otherworld’s rules, her domain existed beyond those rules.

Just as Ashton Todd could use his own array within his domain to break free from the shackles of the Otherworld Heavens, so too could Stella at this moment.

Her domain itself represented another kind of world rule.

The moment the Phoenix Flames trapped Shu’e, his malicious thoughts, upon escaping the filth’s entanglement, would be thoroughly consumed by the flames.

Moreover, at this moment, his feet were being dragged by earthen figures, nearly buried underground.

Seeing her opponent already restrained, Scarlett Jennings immediately formed a mantra with her hands.

The golden light at her fingertips connected with the spiritual energy within the domain. In the next second, an array slowly lit up in the ground beneath Shu’e.

That was the array Ashton Todd had left for her.

It was known that the black mist used by the people within the ghost fog originated from the malicious thoughts of Shu’e. Though Ashton Todd had no chance to directly study those malicious thoughts, he did study the residual power of the ghost fog when researching the array.

The array had been tested by Shellback and could basically achieve its effects.

But whether it would affect the malicious thoughts, he wasn’t sure.

Those were Ashton Todd’s exact words. And because he had to leave in a hurry, he couldn’t leave behind a grand array, only this hastily made mini-array, which was better than nothing.

And now, the mini-array, spurred by Scarlett Jennings’ domain, transformed directly into a grand array, encircling Shu’e.

Visibly, Shu’e’s malicious thoughts were significantly suppressed under various forces pulling at them.

Behind Scarlett Jennings, ten fox tails unfurled entirely as the array lit up.

The massive snow-colored fox tails danced between heaven and earth. In the next second, the tails brightened with specks of golden light, just as they were about to move towards Shu’e, but suddenly paused.

In the center of the array, Shu’e’s appearance had somehow transformed into that of Magnolia Hearne.

She was covered in blood. Looking at her filled Scarlett with guilt.

"Scarlett, are you going to kill me?"

Having just seen Magnolia Hearne unconscious and injured, Scarlett, even knowing it could be Shu’e’s scheme, still found it hard to ignore.

Even while within her domain, he could easily affect her senses.

This was Shu’e’s true strength when free from the constraint of the Phoenix Divine Soul.

Evil thoughts often reflect what one fears most in their heart.

And by invading through that fear, one can intrude deeply into the mind.

Across from her, Magnolia Hearne looked at her with expectant eyes, filled with disappointment and indifference,

"Scarlett, haven’t you always hated me? Hated that I abandoned you, leaving you ignored for eighteen years, growing up alone and manipulated by others..."

"Talking about forgiveness, but how can past experiences be treated as if nothing happened? You not only hate me but also dislike everyone in the Jennings Family."

"Because they, like me, ignored you all these years... Even after you returned to the Jennings Family, they still let some random foster daughter stir everyone’s emotions against you... Well, of course, people who’ve grown up with you are closer than those newly found..."

"She" rambled on while the ten tails behind Scarlett Jennings remained unmoved. She gritted her teeth and coldly ordered "her,"

"Shut up."

"Magnolia Hearne" was unmoved, continuing to provoke her with words.

Every sentence was a probe, attempting to stir even a trace of malice in her heart.

Even within her own domain, as long as one harbors malice, he can use that bit of malice to control her.

...

"Command the Corpse Demons, reign supreme..."

"Greta" saw her wavering, nodding immediately, "Exactly, as long as you wish, with the Undying Bone in hand, you could rule all the Corpse Demons under you..."

Upon hearing this, Stella Gibson suddenly displayed a smile of longing.

Then, she looked at him, her smile slowly evolving into ridicule.

"Greta" was initially stunned. In the next second, Stella Gibson and Scarlett Jennings’ eyes turned cold, simultaneously making their move toward him.

The ten tails passed through him, transforming into ten beams of light that crisscrossed, binding him firmly within the array.

Scarlett Jennings’ move awakened the Five-Colored, without hesitation, the Five-Colored’s Phoenix Power coiled around the beams, reinforcing the Phoenix Seal, burning the malice while preventing resistance.

Meanwhile, Stella Gibson swiftly formed a spell with her hands, channeling the contract’s strength, directly ordering,

"Greta! Hit him hard for me!"

Greta was awakened by this call, the bloodied child before his eyes returning to its original form. Without hesitation, he swung his fist, enveloped in filth, and struck heavily.

Shu’e’s already pierced body had its cheeks sunken in by the impact, resembling an opened black hole, with malice and filth entwining at its edge.

Realizing the people before him broke free from his malicious inducement instantaneously, Shu’e was still in disbelief.

Be they human or demon, as long as they have experiences, there would always be malicious thoughts hidden within, merely varying in depth.

But why could these four easily break from his induction?

Perhaps detecting the surprise in his eyes, Stella Gibson snorted heavily, pointing at him, saying,

"Who do you think you are to challenge my resolute will?

Let me tell you! We passed this test two years ago!"
