"Come out!" Elder Yuan struck out of nowhere, his voice chilling.

Song Xia appeared like a ghost: "As expected of the Grand Elder of the Divine Origin Sect, your intuition is truly sharp."

Elder Yuan stared intently at her, then decisively attacked: "Did you deliberately separate us? Did you think your scheme would succeed this way? Where is Shi Tiankui?"

Song Xia was cautious. Although she had made many preparations in advance, she was only at the early stage of the Integration Realm, while Elder Yuan was a renowned late-stage Integration Realm cultivator. She could not be careless.

The more Elder Yuan fought, the angrier he became. He had been at the Integration Stage for hundreds of years, yet he couldn't even defeat a mere early Integration Stage cultivator. Was he really that powerful, having turned into a ghost cultivator?

He didn't believe it. No matter how unpredictable his methods were, he was only at the initial stage of the Nascent Soul realm. How strong could he be? However, the arrays that existed everywhere in this area were really annoying, causing him to suffer many hidden losses during the battle.

This also shocked him greatly, because he was also a formation master, yet he had no way to break it. How did Song Xia manage to do it?

Moreover, many of the killing formations, illusion formations, and embedded formations were completely new to him and must have been obtained from his inheritance!

Thinking it over, Elder Yuan became even more eager for the inheritance that Song Xia had taken. If he could obtain the inheritance, he would definitely be able to research a method to break through to the Mahayana stage. At that time, even without relying on Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui, he could tear through the void and escape the cataclysm of heaven and earth.

Faced with Elder Yuan's increasingly ruthless attacks, Song Xia was terrified. If it weren't for her prior arrangements and the unpredictable methods of a ghost cultivator, she might not have been able to handle things so easily today.

After suffering another loss in silence, Elder Yuan had no choice but to use all his resources, taking out one magical treasure after another from his storage ring.

Song Xia sighed inwardly. It wasn't that the cultivation world was now resource-poor; it was just that all the good things had ended up in the hands of the leaders of the Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect. If she hadn't received the inheritance, she might not have been able to come up with so many magical treasures to deal with the situation.

Seeing that she was not only not defeated, but even handled the situation with ease, Elder Yuan once again realized the power of inheritance. These magical treasures could not be made in the present world. Why was this woman so lucky?

Seeing that the revealed items were almost complete, Song Xia began to speak in a seductive manner: "Actually, these things were not obtained from a single inheritance. Elder Yuan, have you ever wondered why someone as deserving of death as me could become a ghost cultivator and repeatedly obtain inheritances?"

Elder Yuan was indeed eager to know, but he knew that this was nothing more than a scheme by the woman in front of him, so he coldly rebuked her: "Witch, stop spreading your lies."

Song Xia continued with a slight smile: "Elder Yuan, have you never doubted the Nine Heavens Palace's calculations? If Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui are truly the so-called saviors, then why have they repeatedly missed opportunities? Moreover, if they are truly saviors, why would they have to strip others of their True Phoenix bloodline before they can possess it? Those who are blessed by heaven should be born that way, just like my son and daughter. They were born with the bloodlines of the True Dragon and the True Phoenix. Even when they encounter all kinds of hardships, they can survive desperate situations and repeatedly gain opportunities, which also benefit me."

Elder Yuan was greatly shocked upon hearing this: "Shi Liuchuan is also of true dragon bloodline? This is impossible!"

"Why not? It's just that Heaven was afraid you would destroy its life force, so it deliberately concealed it. Who is the one chosen by Heaven, the one with the innate bloodline of a true dragon and a true phoenix, or the one whose talent can only be barely presented by human intervention? Putting aside everything else, what great resources have Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui obtained or what race have they saved over the years? If they haven't done any of that, what kind of saviors are they?"

"Nonsense! How could the Nine Heavens Palace's calculations be wrong?"

"Nine Heavens Palace? If the Nine Heavens Palace were truly capable, would this world be declining further? Over the years, what has become of the relationship between your Divine Origin Sect, Profound Light Sect, and the Nine Heavens Palace? Have you actively taught Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui? The Nine Heavens Palace has always been mysterious; perhaps they already have a way to escape."

Although Elder Yuan knew that the demoness in front of him was deliberately provoking him, he had to admit that there was some truth to what she said.

If the entire story is a lie told by the Nine Heavens Palace to their Divine Origin Sect, the Profound Light Sect, and the world, then how will their two sects face crises in the future?

Or perhaps it was precisely because the sacrifice of both sects was required that the Nine Heavens Palace was able to seek an opportunity to escape this world? Given the Nine Heavens Palace's mysterious and unpredictable abilities, perhaps this was indeed their initial plan!

The main problem is that Shi Tiankui's lack of true phoenix bloodline is too illogical to be easily disproven. If he were truly a savior as this demoness claims, he should have maxed out his talents.

If her children are truly born with the bloodlines of dragons and phoenixes, and given that Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui have indeed made no contributions to the sect over the years, it can be basically concluded that...

Elder Yuan's breathing became heavy. Could it be that this demoness was trying to win him over by saying so much to him?

After careful consideration, he decided that it wasn't impossible to trust him this once, since given the current situation, it was indeed impossible to place the hope of survival on one person.

"What is your purpose in taking Shi Tiankui away?"

"What is your purpose?" Song Xia stopped, smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Of course, it's to return the bloodline that you took to the rightful owner!"

Elder Yuan frowned in disapproval. At present, it was still uncertain whether what the demoness said was true or false. Relatively speaking, he definitely hoped that Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui were the true saviors. Moreover, given their previous grudges, it was still unknown whether Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi would respect him as their elder if they grew up. Therefore, before it was certain, he could not allow Shi Tiankui's bloodline to be lost.

Elder Yuan then said with a solemn expression, "This matter should be carefully considered. We must not act rashly, otherwise the loss of our bloodline would be a catastrophe for all living beings."

"Elder Yuan, rest assured, since I dare to do this, I must have absolute confidence in restoring the bloodline, after all, she is my own daughter."

"No, this matter needs to be reconsidered."

Song Xia sighed softly: "Since that's the case, there's nothing we can do. After all, the people of your Divine Origin Sect don't have much credibility."

What?

Elder Yuan was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had actually fallen into a trap and was already trapped by the double illusion array and the killing array. His face then turned extremely dark.

He had mistakenly thought the enchantress was trying to win him over, but little did he know it was all a conspiracy to lower his guard and make him fall into her trap.

Song Xia scoffed. She admitted that Elder Yuan was a figure in the cultivation world, but she would never trust or cooperate with the person who harmed her children. If she hadn't fallen into their trap, why would she have wasted so much breath?

However, those words were not just meant to lure Elder Yuan into a trap. If his Dao heart is unstable in the illusion that follows, he may develop inner demons and even doubt his previous actions, thus affecting his cultivation.
