Chapter 110 - 95: The Curtain Falls

Pei Sheng advanced step by step, and the smug expressions previously seen on the faces of these people were gone as they watched Pei Sheng slowly approaching, the leader hurriedly recited an incantation.

A streak of bright red climbed onto Pei Sheng’s face, trying to disturb his mind, but owing to the burning of the Samadhi True Fire and the demise of his lover, Pei Sheng was no longer as before and easily broke free from the control.

"I was originally a mere Scholar, who mistakenly entered the Maiden’s Country years ago. The first time I saw her, it seemed destined, and it made me want to stay here."

"She came out of the dense forest, bow and arrows in hand, her valiant figure dashing and with the sunlight shining on her, it appeared as if she was clad in golden light. I had never seen such a woman before, and just one look made her unforgettable to me."

"Later, she saved my life and took great care of me, and affection developed between us."

"It was then that she revealed her heart and her identity. I hesitated, but still decided to stay with her. I wanted nothing else; I just wanted her."

"That period was the happiest of my life, yet my body began to change, as it turned out that men who stayed too long in the Maiden’s Country would gradually transform into women. At that moment, fear filled my soul."

"I began to grow irritable, and she quietly watched everything, enduring my temper. Until one day she ran to me joyously, telling me she had found a solution in the ancient books from the palace. As I looked at her bright and lovely face, some unpleasant emotions inside me also evaporated."

As Pei Sheng spoke up to this point, a gentle look appeared on his face, as if he had seen that laughing woman again.

"However, when I opened the ancient book, the method it recorded chilled me to the core—it required a human blood sacrifice formation."

"Yet, to restore my body, to continue being with her, I still harbored greedy thoughts, perhaps the tragedy was already destined from that moment."

"As the formation was activated, I watched people wail in the formation, and a foreboding feeling suddenly arose in my heart. As endless blood enveloped me, I realized everything. All of this was merely a conspiracy; from the moment I stepped into Maiden’s Country, I had fallen into a trap, and she, like me, was merely a pawn controlled by others."

Pei Sheng slowly recounted the past, as if immersing himself in those memories, which constituted both his life’s experience and his life’s tragedy.

He then showed an angry expression and coldly said to the several people, "The law of heaven cycles, what goes around comes around. We two ended up in such a state because of our initial greed and murderous intentions. You all, hidden behind the scenes, treat all living beings as chess pieces, wantonly manipulating others’ destinies. Now, the time for retribution has come."

With these words, countless threads of blood danced in the sky and instantly submerged them; bright red blood splashed everywhere, staining the chaotic rocks of the forest red. This group of people, who pursued immortality by any means, finally faced their deaths.

Looking at the carnage, Pei Sheng suddenly burst into laughter, his eyes shedding bright red tears as if to let out all his inner turmoil. His laughter echoed through the forest, unexpectedly with an indescribable sense of relief.

"I’ve come to find you!" he stretched out his hand, as if he saw that loving-faced woman, the most important person in his life, as if she was nearby, reaching out her hand to him.

Raging flames enveloped him, and Pei Sheng stood in the midst of the fire. The fearsome Samadhi True Fire seemed to see him off, and in a short while, this man who had once brought endless pain to the Maiden’s Country turned to ash in the flames, scattering with the wind.

The clouds in the sky dispersed, and a bright silver moon hung high, casting its silver glow over Jieyang Mountain.

The great battle thus ended, and True Immortal Ruyi, looking at the carnage, sighed softly. His hard-earned foundation had been turned upside down by these folks, and he wondered how long it would take to recover.

In the Glazed Glass Tower, Leng Qingyue, who was tightly bound, watched through a screen formed by white mist, everything that was happening outside. Tears streamed down from the eyes of the former Female War God of Maiden’s Country.

The past had now dissipated like smoke, and the obsessions in her heart were completely let go.

"Little Fox, this Magical Treasure is really useful," Bashan Tiger said enviously.

In front of them was a small rock resembling a miniature landscape, exhaling mist and forming a screen in the air that displayed the scene outside the Glazed Glass Tower. All the little demons were watching intently.

Even the White Dragon, who was usually only interested in sleeping, stretched out its head curiously.

Little Fox said proudly, "Of course, this is a Magical Treasure meticulously crafted by Brother Lin Fang."

"Little Fox, let me try it too," Bashan Tiger said, licking his face.

Yi Hailong, however, grabbed him and said, "This Treasure tests Illusion Technique abilities. You, an Illusion Technique dunce, better not embarrass yourself."

Despite his words, his eyes also showed envy. Having a Magical Treasure tailored for oneself, Little Fox was incredibly lucky.

"When will I encounter materials suitable for me, so that the boss can craft a dedicated Treasure for me?" Bashan Tiger said wistfully.

Meanwhile, outside, True Immortal Ruyi, breathing heavily, sincerely thanked Lin Fang, "Thank you, Fellow Taoist, for your rescue, or I would have been doomed this time."

Lin Fang waved his hand and said, "No need to thank me, just remember your promise."

"Rest assured, as True Immortal Ruyi, my word is my bond. Since I said it, I will acknowledge it. You can deal with the Infertility Spring however you wish."

Lin Fang smiled and nodded. Following True Immortal Ruyi’s lead, he entered Juxian Temple. Inside the modest Taoist temple, which was quite elegantly organized, True Immortal Ruyi’s temperament seemed entirely distinct from his brother’s.

There was a pine tree in the courtyard, lush and dense, blocking the moonlight and casting mottled shadows.

On the edge of the cliff, there was a small cave with a stone plaque above that read "Po’er Cave." True Immortal Ruyi pointed at the cave and said, "The Infertility Spring is inside there."

The two walked into the cave and felt its profound depth, yet it carried none of the eerie aura, rather radiating warmth, making one feel like they were basking in the spring breeze.

Lin Fang was amazed as he looked around and saw that the stone walls were covered with fine lines, twisting and turning, extending into the depths of the cave.

As he delicately touched them, he found the stones as gentle as jade, of excellent quality, worth having even in the Mortal World.

However, what Lin Fang valued was not the material of the stones, but rather the Solar Energy contained within them. Compared to the rich atmosphere around, although the amount of Solar Energy in these stones was sparse, it was not violent and could be absorbed and refined. He immediately started scheming.
