"It's big brother's voice! Stop!" Shen Qingli told Shen Que not to burn.

Shen Que, however, didn't move, after all these black vines, although they emanated from Shen Qinghuang's body, would harm Shen Qingli.

Fortunately, Shen Qinghuang, who had tasted pain, had already retracted the black vines, and stood dazedly in the corner of the storeroom.

Fifth Clan

Demonic Essence

Shen Qingli also asked in a trembling voice, "They fed this clump of black vine with big brother's flesh and blood, right?"

Fifth Qing Feng

Jiang Clan Elder Ancestor

Mister Hua Yuan

Fuxi Eight Trigrams

Little Golden Phoenix

Black Vine

Evil Vine

Evil Vine Puppet

Meanwhile, at this moment, Di Jin, who had already flipped through a record nearby, had an even colder expression.

Hearing the sound of flipping pages, Shen Qingli wiped her tears, turned back, and immediately walked over, "What does it say?"

"Look." Di Jin pointed out the key parts; between the lines, it was shocking!

Talisman Paper

To produce controllable evil vine puppets, one needs a certain degree of spiritual intelligence, but they do not remember past events and will only obey the Fifth Clan.

Because after normally offering one's flesh to the evil vine, one does not lose intelligence, nor be controlled by the Fifth Clan, but only be subject to the true form of the Kirin Lord.

This is obviously not what the Fifth Clan wants; they are trying to develop an evil vine army that they themselves can control, and it is estimated that their ultimate goal is to break free and reverse-control the evil vine.

But their breaking free and reverse-controlling is not to eliminate or slay the Kirin Lord, but to become the next Kirin Lord.

"The experiments on big brother's body let them discover that only using flesh and blood and a small portion of soul power can produce controllable evil vine."

"But it's not completely controllable; they will indiscriminately devour other beings, that is, non-evil-vine propagators." Di Jin didn't expect the Fifth Clan to still be doing such evil deeds!

This Fifth Clan is already a completely evil clan.

"The demon seeds are a failed product; although the ratio of flesh and blood to soul power used is the same as big brother's, the demon seeds remain uncontrollable, and they will devour the Fifth Clan's people." Shen Qingli's voice was hoarse.

The reason the neither-human-nor-vine Shen Qinghuang can emit Shen Qinghuang's voice is because it retains part of Shen Qinghuang's soul power.

He is intelligent, but because his soul power is incomplete, he remembers nothing, and is also driven by the evil vine's instinct to incessantly devour other races.

"Take it back to Father; he might have a way to separate it." Di Jin closed the record and put it away as well; fortunately they came, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

The entire Sheng Long Tian has completely become a sacrifice to the evil god.

The Fifth Clan will also evolve into a separatist force occupying Sheng Long Tian, an evil clan difficult to exterminate.

"If it weren't for Fifth Brother and them fighting to the death in defense, and Uncle and them exerting all their strength in counterattack, the Fifth Clan would probably have already completed the first part of the puppet transformation."

Shen Qingli felt relieved that she hadn't killed everyone, and she also instructed Jiu Ying to leave a thread of soul, letting them go to hell to suffer punishment! This is what they deserve.

However, after the punishment is served, the Fifth Qingfeng must be exterminated! She certainly knows how to sacrifice and use the evil vines; keeping them will surely become a future problem.

"Let's go, first get out."

Shen Qingli wants the Jiang clan elder to bring the news up to give to his father.

"Don't rush, the old coot still needs time."

Di Jin glanced at the nearby antique rack, which held not only many artifacts of the Fifth Clan but also quite a few books.

Shen Qingli stepped forward and flipped open a few volumes; they were all written in divine script, "Master Huayuan must surely like them."

"You can keep this one for yourself," Di Jin said, taking out a book whose pages bore the title "The Eight Trigrams of Fuxi."

"Is this the technique they used earlier?" Shen Qingli flipped through it, confirming it was, but "the text says only Fuxi's descendants can learn it."

"You're different; your comprehension can make up for the bloodline issue." Di Jin didn't see any problem, "The most difficult to grasp universal dark power, you can wield at will—this is nothing."

"Then I'll give it a try." Shen Qingli put it away, then looked at others, which were basically cultural texts, so she stored them all in her space.

However, it wouldn't go in?

"Huh?"

Shen Qingli sensed a bit and discovered that the connection to her space had been severed.

A similar situation had happened before, but this time the severance wasn't as clean.

"What's wrong?"

"The place where I hid you before seems to be about to upgrade."

Shen Qingli had a faint feeling; coincidentally she had just sent Little Golden Phoenix back, and this spatial upgrade should benefit Little Golden Phoenix.

But it's a pity for Shen Que and the others, though it's fine; they've basically just advanced, and now is the time they need tempering.

Otherwise, blindly advancing will only yield a superficial facade.

Shen Qingli herself is the same; she has advanced too quickly lately.

Fortunately, her combat experience was also abundant, and her training was quite solid.

"Good." Di Jin looked at the other collectibles, but nothing caught his eye.

Shen Qingli, however, put everything away; having no space, the Fifth Clan had collected some decent storage treasures, enough to gather everything here.

She had also kept the storage rings and bags from those Fifth Clan members; the spoils couldn't be burned! They must be replenished for the Longwater Shen Clan.

However, after finishing, Shen Qingli looked at Di Jin, who was teaching Shen Que to seal "Shen Qinghuang", lost in thought.

Noticing her gaze, Di Jin raised his eyebrows, quickly finished his last few words, then walked over to her.

"Why are you looking at me like that, sister?" After approaching, Di Jin, who didn't get close, slightly lowered his gaze to meet hers eye‑to‑eye, "Have I become more handsome?" He had already sensed it several times.

Shen Qingli, however, nodded seriously: "Mm, much better looking."

Di Jin blinked, surprised she actually admitted it, and felt a faint prickling in his heart, as if something were scratching him.

A pair of beautiful phoenix‑eyes slightly narrowed, deep and silent……

He stepped closer again, but her beautiful face was suddenly cupped, leaving him speechless.

Shen Qingli also moved closer; his heart tensed involuntarily, his gaze fixed on her rosy lips.

"My space is also yours, right?"

"Mm."

"Mm?"

Di Jin lifted his eyes, seeing her gaze devoid of any amorous intent.

Di Jin chuckled, "No, I think the space you mentioned arose because of other reasons."

Although he wasn't consciously present in Shen Qingli's space, after waking he could roughly recall that she had once stored him in a rather special place.

That place, I imagine, is the space she spoke of.

Furthermore, considering she could bring the Fusang Divine Tree and have live fish, and previously produce many things no longer extant in the present age, he speculated——
