Chapter 1: Rebirth on the Road of Exile

Shen Qingquan, do you know that all the evidence against the Shen Family was offered by me to the Emperor! It was also I who ordered those soldiers to kill your younger brother and defile your legitimate sister, but in the end I still let you escape…

Your grandfather was cut to pieces, each piece of flesh thrown to the Chaos Burial Ground to feed the stray dogs, and your outer grandfather's family was turned into human swine, exposed at the Eastern Gate, mocked by ten thousand people.

Your closest cousins became the most wretched military prostitutes, sleeping with thousands and being ridden by ten thousand…

Your pampered, beloved cousins were sent to the Southern Barbarian Land as prisoners of war, dying in a most miserable way…

…

Shen, Qin, Ya!

The arrogant, vicious cackle echoed in her ears, making her head throb, hatred roiling inside her!

If she hadn't been blind in this life, her eyes clouded for a moment by misplaced loyalty, how could the Shen Family have met such a tragic fate? Her younger brother was killed, her legitimate sister violated, her parents brutally slain, and even her beloved grandfather and the outer grandfather's family… turned to ash!

Shen Qingquan's hatred!

Even more, she hated herself!

Why so foolish! Careless! Cowardly!

Amid the sharp, excruciating pain, Shen Qingquan's body convulsed, her consciousness hazy.

In the end, only one thought remained: if there were a next life, she would certainly slay her blood enemies with her own hands! Tear their muscles, skin them, crush their bones and scatter their ashes!

…

"Wuwu, let go of me!"

"Sister, let go of the younger sister…"

"Elder sister, elder sister, save me…"

…

The ears were constantly filled with harrowing screams and jeering laughter.

Shen Qingquan's head throbbed; did she somehow hear her younger brother's and younger sister's voices?

Wasn't she already dead?

Brother!

Younger sister!

She suddenly opened her eyes, cold as a blade!

Then, she beheld the scene that made her eyes want to burst!

In the ruined temple, her beloved delicate and pampering Sixth Sister was pinned beneath a soldier, her clothes torn, her face swollen and bloodied at the corners, her eyes hollowly staring this way.

Meanwhile, her mischievous younger brother lay motionless nearby, his head smashed open and bleeding.

Her parents, their hair white with age, knelt on the ground, pleading desperately…

Shen Qingquan gasped sharply; hadn't she died? Where is this?

Broken Temple, soldiers, exile…

In a flash of lightning, she felt as if struck by thunder! This was the moment in her previous life when her entire clan was eradicated and she was exiled to the Northern Wilderness!

She suddenly looked at her own hand!

Snow‑white, soft, ice‑skin and jade‑like bone!

At this moment, her hand had not yet become scarred and calloused from hard labor; everything had returned to the very beginning!

She has been reborn!

She was ecstatic, suppressing her trembling hand! I'm back! Shen Qingquan is back!

In this life, she will never again allow anyone to humiliate or trample them!

Not even the Heavenly Venerate Supreme can!

"Elder sister, be careful…"

At that moment, a weak voice from the younger sister suddenly sounded, and darkness flashed before her eyes as someone lunged at her!

Reflexively, she kicked the attacker away! Spinning on her foot, she seized another soldier's hand and snapped it hard!

Snap!

The sound of bone cracking rang through the air!

As he howled in agony, she grabbed his head from behind, cupped his chin with one hand, and twisted his head violently to the rear!

His neck snapped outright! The soldier stared with wide eyes before collapsing limp.

With a bang, the other soldiers in the broken temple were startled.

They stared in stunned amazement at the Shen Family's young lady, who had previously been half‑dead and unconscious!

"You… how are you still not dead? Useless! What are you just standing there for? Capture her already!"

The leading soldier was a hulking man, bare‑chested, with a fierce moustache, his tiger‑like eyes radiating murderous aura.

His voice startled everyone; after the surprise, they quickly recovered.

The three closest soldiers lunged at her!

Shen Qingquan hooked her foot, lifted the dead soldier's sword and grasped it, blood from her forehead streaming down her pale brow, her eyes cold as a hawk!

A flash of Cold Beam rose, framing her icy gaze, like a death god.

She swung the blade, cleanly and decisively cleaving a head off! The blood‑soaked head flew up,

with a bang it struck the ground, rolling away a good distance.

Without waiting for them to react, she surged forward again, thrusting a sword through another soldier's abdomen! She lifted her foot and kicked his knee; with a squelch, she withdrew the blood‑stained blade, hot liquid splashing onto her face, making her cold blood seem to boil!

"You wretch, I've slain you!"

The last soldier swung his sword at her; she dodged swiftly, the blade landing on the soldier she had just killed. She rolled backward, rose behind him, and slashed at the back of his thigh!

A scream rang out as the soldier fell to his knees; she calmly reaped his life.

The three were annihilated in the blink of an eye!

This scene made all the other officers and soldiers at the Broken Temple turn pale!

They suddenly stood up, each grabbing a broadsword, eyes flashing with murderous intent!

Not far away, Sixth Sister stared at her elder sister wielding a bloodied sword, eyes widened in shock.

"Watch out, this wretch is odd."

The leading hulking man grew wary; at his command, his four subordinates struck from front and rear, and Shen Qingquan was abruptly encircled!

"Qinger…"

Not far away, Ning Shi watched the scene with dread, her heart pounding as if it would burst from her throat!

She watched Qinger, who had once lived in embroidered robes and jade feasts, dodge the four swords; several times the blades nearly struck her… scrambling, rolling, feinting east and west, she swiftly dispatched two more.

At first glance it seemed fraught with peril, but in reality everything was as she had anticipated.

In her previous life, Shen Qingquan survived alone in chaotic times, having once learned self‑defense from a Lame Old Man in the Northern Wilderness Army; after several near‑deaths, she forged a ruthless, iron‑blooded fighting style.

Those who fell by her hand numbered not a hundred, but ninety.

Handling these officers and soldiers, whose bodies had been hollowed out by wine, meat, and lecherous desires, was not hard.

Shen Qinya intended to kill her and dispatched these drunken, idle brutes, destined to be a futile effort.

The only thing that gave her a slight dread… was that leader.

Unfortunately, this body had been severely wounded, lost too much blood, and was far too weak.

After dispatching the four, all her strength seemed drained, and she collapsed.

In front of her, darkness kept rippling; then a startled shout, followed by a cold wind striking the back of her head— the lingering omen born from long teetering on the edge of life and death made her reflexively dodge!

Even so, her rear shoulder was still struck! She stumbled, spun, and like a lithe monkey climbed onto the altar, toppling the crumbling Buddha Statue! In a burst of fluttering feathers and swirling dust, she vaulted from above and felled him!

She seized the Candlestick and drove it fiercely into his eyes!

"Ah!"

A scream tore through the pitch‑black, silent night!

The hulking man's eyes spurted blood; in excruciating pain, he went berserk, swinging his sword wildly in all directions.

Shen Qingquan had already stepped back long ago, watching his madness with cold indifference.

At that moment, Ning Shi scrambled and crawled to hug her, trembling all over, "Qinger, mother's Qinger…"

Feeling her mother's warm embrace, Shen Qingquan's eyes instantly reddened.

Fortunately, her mother was still alive, still existing, no longer a cold, broken corpse…

In this life, she will protect her mother and will no longer let her be harmed by outsiders!? This novel first published on 17K Novel Network, read the official content at first glance!
