Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
"Why aren't you saying anything?" Shi Shuangzhi rarely got so agitated. "I'm willing to die, so why can't you treat my brother better? What threat could my brother possibly pose?"
"Shi Shuangzhi, this is not a matter of your willingness or unwillingness. Even if you are unwilling, today's matter must be accomplished. As for your brother, for the sake of the great cause of the world, we cannot allow any accidents to happen." Fairy Su Mu looked at her indifferently, as if she were looking at an object.
Shi Shuangzhi began to struggle and scream: "So you killed my brother? He couldn't even reach the Foundation Establishment stage, how could you be so cruel?"
“It’s not that we’re cruel, but the Nine Heavens Palace has calculated that if those connected to you are not eliminated, a catastrophe will ensue.”
"Why waste words with her? The time has come, let's make our move!"
Having gone mad, Shi Shuangzhi was silenced. Her eyes were bloodshot as she stared at these people, as if she wanted to remember them in her soul and never let them go until she died.
But they all just looked at her coldly, as if she were a clown jumping around.
Indeed, from their perspective, they have countless high-level cultivators on their side, and any one of them could turn the world upside down. What could a little girl with little cultivation and who was about to die do, no matter how resentful she was?
"Elder Tian, everything is ready." It was Fairy Qingxiang who spoke. She possessed the bloodline of the Medicine God, but it might not be pure. So when Song Xia's True Phoenix bloodline was taken away and transplanted into Fairy Su Mu, a rejection reaction occurred. Therefore, this time, she only served as an assistant to Elder Tian of the Nine Heavens Palace.
"When I remove the bloodline and transplant it into Shi Tiankui's body, you can help nourish the heart meridian."
"good."
Everyone held their breath and took a few steps back, while Song Xia's soul was hidden on the mountain wall, watching this scene with heartbreaking grief.
However, she was completely helpless. She couldn't even deal with any one of the people here right now. If she made a rash move, not only would she lose her life, but she might not even be able to save Shuangzhi. So she could only watch helplessly.
Removing one's bloodline is one of the most painful punishments in the world. Since the beginning of recorded history, no one has ever survived after having their bloodline removed, and there is no medicine that can alleviate the suffering of the deprived person during the process.
Shi Shuangzhi was silenced, and all that could be seen was her silent screams, her entire eyeballs almost bursting from the pain.
In fact, she is now covered in blood and convulsing all over.
Song Xia seemed to empathize: "Xiao Ling, is there really no other way?"
Xiaoling couldn't bear to watch any longer: "I'm sorry, Xiaxia, there's nothing I can do."
Soon, Shi Shuangzhi had no strength left to struggle, and her body slumped down. A small golden phoenix rose from her body and sang softly towards the sky.
The crowd became excited, looking at the little golden phoenix with boundless greed. The little golden phoenix felt uneasy and seemed to want to escape, but then the Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Palace grabbed it by the throat.
At this moment, Shi Tiankui had adjusted to her best state, looking at Xiao Jinfeng with an aggressive gaze, while everyone's attention was on her and the Grand Elder.
Taking advantage of this moment, Song Xia used the Yin Soul Wood to collect Shi Shuangzhi's soul. The soul of a person stripped of their bloodline is extremely fragile. It is estimated that everyone here thought that Shi Tiankui's soul had already been scattered in that instant.
“Xiaxia, she was even weaker than you were back then. Luckily, your soul was strong enough at the time, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to wait until they all left before I could collect the materials.”
The Yin Soul Wood was hidden under Shi Shuangzhi's blood-stained skirt. At this moment, a sharp gaze came over. Although she knew that the other party was unlikely to find out, Song Xia still held her breath.
Shi Changqing looked over in confusion: "Father, what's wrong?"
The sect leader of Shenyuan Sect, Shi Chuande, frowned and remained silent. Just as he was about to use his divine sense and sharpness to search, he heard Shi Tiankui cry out in pain, instantly drawing their attention.
"Tiankui, hold on, it's just one last step away."
After collecting the souls of the frost branches, Song Xia handed the Yin Soul Wood to Xiao Ling for safekeeping, then coldly looked at the group of people.
She doesn't have many tricks up her sleeve now, but she's not completely incapable of causing any trouble.
At the crucial moment when the Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Palace was transplanting the True Phoenix Bloodline into Shi Tiankui, she manipulated a wisp of Yin energy to sneak into the Grand Elder's heart meridian.
The Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Palace's expression changed, but this was a critical moment, and he could not afford to make any mistakes.
Song Xia sneered, and the Yin energy pierced the Grand Elder's heart meridian like a sharp sword. Although the Grand Elder's heart meridian was protected by spiritual power, this wisp of Yin energy could not take his life, but at this critical moment, it could still seriously injure the Grand Elder.
"Pfft..." The man suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, and his hand, which was transplanting the True Phoenix Bloodline into Shi Tiankui, trembled.
Everyone was panicked and wanted to take action, but they didn't know how to intervene.
Song Xia took this opportunity to leave quietly, without leaving a trace.
Because of the elder's trembling hand, Shi Tiankui was in even more pain, and blood began to seep from her body as she screamed incessantly.
"Freeze her!" The Grand Elder was powerless to investigate who was responsible at this point, after all, this was the last known true phoenix bloodline, and they could not allow it to be lost.
But he remembered what had just happened. The Divine Origin Sect was so impatient even before it had succeeded. Did it already have the ambition to dominate the world and was afraid that the Nine Heavens Palace would become an obstacle for the Divine Origin Sect?
How foolish! What if something had happened to the savior just now, and something had gone wrong? Even if the Divine Origin Sect was the number one power in the world, what difference would it make?
It seems the Divine Origin Sect has it all figured out, betting that I'll prioritize the bigger picture, right? I have to say, the Divine Origin Sect made the right bet.
At this time, none of the Shenyuan Sect members knew that the Grand Elder of the Nine Heavens Palace had a very deep misunderstanding about them, and before settling the score, he had already concluded that they were the ones who did it.
That makes sense, this is the most mysterious territory of the Divine Origin Sect, and it also has the most high-level cultivators from the Divine Origin Sect present. If it weren't for the people from the Divine Origin Sect taking action, who could have caused these accidents right under their noses?
After leaving the Water Curtain Cave, Song Xia found the green spirit bird again and possessed it.
The wisp of Yin energy she had just used had exhausted all her energy, and now she couldn't even maintain her soul body.
The green spirit bird fluttered its wings and flew away without arousing any suspicion. Then, Xiao Ling saw Shi Liuchuan acting suspiciously outside the woods.
At this time, Song Xia was already asleep, and he could not appear to speak. He could only let the green spirit bird stand on his shoulder and urge him to leave.
"You're back!" Shi Liuchuan exclaimed with delight. "Where's my sister?"
The green bird nibbled at his collar and led him to a secluded place.
"Why can't you speak again? What happened?" Shi Liuchuan was extremely anxious, but he was destined to get no answers.
