After explaining everything, Lan Hua said to the three disciples, "With the help of the three of you, we have achieved a perfect ending today. When I return to the Half-Heaven Realm, I will treat you to a feast!"

After everyone had left, Lan Hua sat blankly on a large rock.

Watching everyone clean up the battlefield, I felt no emotion whatsoever.

The task assigned to him by the young Living Buddha of the Tathagata Esoteric School is now complete, and he can return to Misty Valley.

Suddenly, Lan Hua remembered something and quickly flew to the skies above the East China Sea.

With her divine sense fully extended, Lan Hua explored the seabed within a radius of fifty miles.

"That's strange. Where did that Doomsday Halberd go? Did it sink to the bottom of the sea?"

He closed his eyes to sense the overwhelming evil energy emanating from the Death Halberd, but found no trace of it.

"That's really strange, it was all gone in one explosion!"

Lan Hua returned empty-handed, and after waiting for a long time, a dragon's roar came.

Du Renjie returned carrying the strategist.

Before it even landed, Du Renjie threw it, and the strategist fell heavily to the ground, clearly having had his cultivation sealed.

The evil strategist cowered on the ground, looking like a lamb to the slaughter.

The fall unexpectedly lifted his hat, revealing his true appearance underneath.

Although this person was ugly, one could vaguely make out a handsome outline. Compared to other evil spirits, he was less deformed and was considered quite good-looking.

His hat fell off, and the strategist subconsciously lowered his head, seemingly quite self-conscious about his appearance.

Lan Hua snorted, "Who exactly are you? Why are you targeting me and trying to take my life?"

"Naturally, it's because you are the leader of the Xuanhuang cultivators. In a battle between two armies, it's reasonable to kill you first, isn't it?" the evil strategist laughed.

"Indeed, but you know so much about my background and your origins are so mysterious, do you think I would believe what you say? The Xuan Yu Xiao Men's Three Calculations, the one that disappeared."

As soon as the three calculations of the Owl Gate were made, the strategist's eyes changed instantly, which was keenly noticed by Lan Hua.

The evil strategist suddenly burst into laughter.

"That's right, I am the ninth Calculator of the Owl Sect, the Evil Calculator."

What kind of scheme is this? I've long since given up on being that kind of person.

The Ninth Calculation has always been rooted in the Wilderness Continent for countless millennia. By the time it reached me, it had gone through countless generations.

I'm just an evil spirit, the Ninth Calculator. Can that help me get rid of the fact that I'm an evil spirit?

No, I don't care at all!

Du Renjie was somewhat puzzled, as this was the first time he had heard of the existence of the Owl Sect.

Lan Hua was speechless, wondering to herself how this Ninth Calculator was different from the others, how could he confess so easily?

Baxia whispered, "Brother Hua, is there a trap here?"

Lan Hua snorted, "Whether it's a scam or not, we'll know soon enough by asking!"

"Evil Calculator, you know my secrets, you must be communicating with the other two Calculators. If you can tell me where they are hiding, I can spare your life!"

Xie Suan remained unfazed and snorted, "Although I don't value the position of Nine Calculators, there's no way I would betray the Owl Sect. Don't even think about it!"

Lan Hua smiled knowingly, "If you don't want to talk about it, I have my own ways!"

The Dan Shen Temple's Enforcement Council has a special interrogation technique called the God-Searching Technique. If you are unwilling to confess, then I will have no choice but to invite the elders of the Dan Shen Temple to take action.

I've heard that once that Soul-Searching Technique is used, the victim will most likely become mentally impaired, turning into a walking corpse!

Xie Suan's expression changed drastically, his brows furrowed into a deep frown, and he said dejectedly, "Fine, I'll confess."

Since Su Mu stumbled upon the secrets of the Owl Sect, the three Xuan Yu Calculators have changed their strategy, and none of them know each other's exact location.

"Whenever we have important matters to discuss, we will travel to the former site of the Killing Realm to negotiate!"

Lan Hua exclaimed in surprise, thinking to herself how ingenious the location of the Owl Sect was.

"Have there been any tripartite meetings recently?"

Xie Suan nodded. "Yes, we'll discuss the aftermath of the great war between the Xuanhuang Continent and the evil spirits tomorrow night!"

"Very well, this time, I will send the leaders of Xuan Yu's Xiao Men to meet the King of Hell!"

After saying that, Lan Hua slapped Xie Suan's lower abdomen with her palm, and then withdrew her hand, a powerful surge of Yuan energy gushed out from her lower abdomen, which was the power of the corrupted Yuan energy.

Xie Suan immediately showed a pained expression and said in horror, "Lan Hua, you broke your promise and actually want to cripple my cultivation!"

Lan Hua snorted coldly, "I only said I would protect your life, not that I wouldn't cripple your cultivation. As the ninth strategist of the Owl Sect, you should have thought of that long ago!"

A moment later, Xie Suan released all his cultivation.

Suddenly, Lan Hua struck Xie Suan in the abdomen with another palm strike, causing the latter to shudder.

Xie Suan coughed up a mouthful of blood and roared, "You not only crippled my cultivation, but you also extinguished my inner fire! You're truly ruthless!"

"Sparing your life is already the greatest act of kindness!"

After speaking, Lan Hua handed the Evil Calculation over to the Pill God Palace, and then bid farewell to everyone.

After bidding farewell to Du Renjie, Lan Hua immediately returned to the Misty Valley, marking the successful conclusion of the battle against the evil spirits.

Inside Zi Yue's boudoir, Lan Hua didn't see anyone, but she did see a huge orchid that occasionally shimmered with a pale purple light.

Baxia was taken aback. "Damn, how did Kong Menglan get so big?"

Lan Hua carefully examined Kong Menglan and simultaneously extended her divine sense, discovering that Zi Yue's aura was present within Kong Menglan. This must be Kong Menglan's unique healing method.

"The spiritual energy of the Kongmeng Orchid is extremely abundant, and it is currently nourishing Ziyue. Let's be careful not to disturb it!"

After speaking, Lan Hua left Zi Yue's boudoir and went to the treehouse to meditate.

He looked exhausted.

Although self-destructing his secondary primordial spirit did not affect his cultivation level, it greatly reduced his strength.

Now his middle dantian is empty, without a trace of primordial energy.

Fortunately, the Crimson Lotus Flame is still intact. As long as there are enough spirit stones, it is possible to continue to rebuild the Yuan Power, although it will take a lot of time.

Lan Hua summoned a pile of spirit stones, shared them with Ba Xia, and then the two of them entered into a period of quiet cultivation.

After a day, Lan Hua's lower dantian energy was fully restored, but her middle dantian still had not yet condensed any energy.

There are still tasks to be done in the evening, so the primary purpose of the retreat is to restore our ability to protect ourselves.

"Brother Ba, it's time we dealt with Xuan Yu's Owl Clan!"

Baxia jumped up excitedly, "I've been fed up with the Owl Clan for a long time, and this time we're going to uproot the Owl Clan in Xuanyu!"

The former killing ground has long been abandoned, and no one has come here anymore.

Today, Lan Hua and Ba Xia visited again.

At the heart of the Killing Realm, the former master of the Killing Realm, the seventh strategist of the Owl Sect, and the leader of the Burial God Alliance, the eighth strategist of the Owl Sect, were sitting at a stone table.

The cave was dimly lit, and the two of them kept their eyes closed, without exchanging a single word.

Upon hearing a series of footsteps, the Lord of the Realm suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze gleaming.

"Ninth Brother, you're too late!"

The leader of the Burial God Alliance said, "Ninth Brother, your steps are disordered. Could it be that you were injured in yesterday's battle?"

Lan Hua reached out and pulled down the brim of her black hat, sat down in the only remaining chair, and then whispered:

"The war went badly; the Evil Spirit King was killed, and the Heavenly Evil Ancestor also died."

The evil spirits have retreated to the Eastern Japanese, and the crisis on the Xuanhuang Continent has been resolved. If you want to kill Lan Hua, you'll have to find a different way!

After hearing the explanation from the fake divination master, the Eighth Calculator sneered, "I didn't expect that there would be so many powerful people behind this Lan Hua. What should we do now?"

The fake evil fortune teller asked, "Eighth Brother, your Burial God Alliance has deployed all its Blood List assassins. Are you confident in your ability to win?"

"It's worth a try!"

The False Evil Calculator said, "I have a suggestion. The Xuan Yu Xiao Sect has been scattered for so many years, perhaps it's time to unify our actions."

"With our combined strength, and taking advantage of Lan Hua's serious injury, we're sure to kill him!"

After pondering for a while, the seventh strategist nodded and said, "I think this plan is feasible!"

The eighth person also nodded in agreement.

The False Evil Calculator said, "There's no time to lose. Let's notify them now. It won't be good if Lan Hua's Yuan Power recovers!"

The seventh and eighth strategists then took out communication jade talismans and began to call out to their disciples.

After the two had finished their deployment, Lan Hua suddenly sprang into action, using two immense forces to snatch their communication jade talismans.

"It's time to get down to business!" Lan Hua said coldly.
