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...
"Hmm..." Shi Tianning's expression suddenly changed. Su Muxianzi noticed his abnormality and had a vague sense of unease.
"What's wrong? Is it your sister..." Her face was pale, and she couldn't continue speaking.
Shi Tianning clutched his heart, feeling it pounding violently. He and his sister were twins, and they had a telepathic connection since childhood. He could sense whenever his sister encountered something. This time, his heart was pounding even harder than when they had their bloodline changed.
"I think they should start."
Fairy Su Mu bared her teeth and her eyes widened in fury: "Song Xia! I'll make you wish you were never born!"
"What are you all standing there for? Break through! Find their location quickly!" Shi Changqing roared. Although his relationship with Su Mu was not good now, he absolutely did not want to see their children get into trouble. Although he and Song Xia had two children, how could those two compare to Tian Ning and Tian Kui?
The elders and disciples of Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect dared not delay any longer. Although they might die if they faced Song Xia, they would not fare well if Shi Tiankui were to be harmed while they returned to their sects safely. Therefore, they attacked the formation with all their might.
Everyone's heart was heavy. Fairy Su Mu opened her eyes wide to the limit, and finally a trace of blood flowed down the corner of her eye, and then she made up her mind.
"This way."
When she stepped out of the formation, her eyes seemed to have lost some of their luster, and her complexion was also very bad, as if she had exhausted herself greatly.
When everyone looked back at the place that had trapped them, there were strange rocks standing there, magical artifacts suppressing them, and top-grade spirit stones scattered all over the ground. It was clear that the person who set up the formation was incredibly powerful, no wonder they had no way to break it before.
"Chase!" Master Qing had no time to pay attention to Fairy Su Mu and chased after the last cultivator guarding the formation.
But Elder Ying quickly stopped him: "Be careful not to fall into a trap. Don't let him lead us into another formation. If that Song Xia really does give Tian Kui a blood transfusion, it will definitely delay the time it takes for us to find her."
"Then where should we go?" The division commander was like a headless fly, extremely anxious.
Elder Ying took out a banner-like magical artifact and threw it into the air. The black banner swayed violently, and after about half a cup of tea's time, it stood still in one direction.
The disciples of both sects stared longingly at the magical artifact. Legend has it that Elder Ying's natal magical artifact was a black banner, and this was the first time they had ever seen its true form.
"This way."
The cultivators from the far west, who were secretly observing, saw that they had chosen the right direction and did not panic. They only frowned slightly, because even if they had chosen the right direction, there were still many traps along the way.
"Ah!" Shi Tiankui was trapped in the formation and could not move, letting out a miserable scream.
Her appearance was truly tragic, because Song Xia was slowly peeling away the True Phoenix Bloodline from her body, a process that was far more difficult than when they had peeled it off from Shuangzhi.
It wasn't because she was concerned about Shi Tiankui's life, but because when the people of Shenyuan Sect peeled off Shuangzhi's bloodline, the bloodline was clean and pure. But now, after being integrated with Shi Tiankui for so many years, it has become tainted with impurities. She didn't want these impurities to affect her daughter's complete rebirth.
Shi Shuangzhi watched Shi Tiankui scream in agony. She had been in the same state back then, even more so than Shi Tiankui, because she thought her brother would also be unable to escape the clutches of the poisoner. If it weren't for her mother's ruthlessness, their whole family would have been wiped out.
Now it's finally Shi Tiankui's turn. What she took from her, she has to return.
She doesn't need to do anything now; she just needs to regulate her breathing and quietly wait for the return of the True Phoenix bloodline.
Then a cultivator whispered something in his ear, and Shi Liuchuan gave his sister a reassuring look before leaving the spot.
"Tsk, you won't admit it even though you've wasted the true phoenix bloodline. You've become so gloomy and even tainted with evil energy. This shows how wicked you are. So you can't possibly be a savior."
Some curious cultivators carefully observed Song Xia's actions and discovered that the bloodline that had just been extracted was indeed a bit dark, but after her purification, it became incredibly golden.
Although Shi Tiankui was in pain, her mind was clear, and she could see everything Song Xia had done. She refused to believe it.
"You witch, you must have done something!" She had seen the True Phoenix bloodline from the beginning, and it was definitely not like it had just been extracted from her body. How could she not be the savior? It was just that the Heavenly Dao made a mistake and gave the bloodline to the wrong person. How could she be the one who caused the True Phoenix bloodline to be extinguished?
"The Nine Heavens Palace can't be wrong, they're the ones who calculated it! You must have used tricks to deceive the world!" Shi Tiankui screamed while enduring the pain, "Song Xia, you will be punished, and so will you all, you who aided and abetted evil, you will all die a horrible death!"
"You're the one who should suffer retribution. If I hadn't set up the formation beforehand, you would have been struck dead by these lightning bolts long ago. I've never seen a savior who's afraid of lightning. Savior? How utterly ridiculous!" Song Xia sneered, shattering all her pride.
"Shi Tiankui, let's not talk about whether the savior exists or not. Even if there is one, he can only be the child of the original self who was born with the bloodline of a true dragon or a true phoenix. He has nothing to do with you."
"You're talking nonsense, you're talking nonsense..."
"Nonsense? If I were talking nonsense, would the divine beast Bai Ze make the wrong choice?"
Song Xia looked at the little beast and revealed its true identity: "The divine beast Bai Ze understands the feelings of all things and can drive away ghosts and evil spirits. Before, Shuang Zhi was just a soul. If she were not a savior of the world, how could she have gotten close to Bai Ze?"
"Bai Ze?" Everyone was surprised and doubtful. This little beast that could bark and whimper was actually the divine beast Bai Ze?
No cultivator in the far west doubted Song Xia's words. Only Shi Tiankui loudly mocked, "You say it's Bai Ze, so it is Bai Ze? Who doesn't know that the divine beast Bai Ze only exists in prosperous times? Now that the Heavenly Dao has collapsed, how could Bai Ze possibly appear?"
"That's because the ancient cultivators forcibly kept it here, and it was also the divine beast Bai Ze that gave the world a glimmer of hope," Song Xia said coldly. "The true savior and the divine beast Bai Ze will lead the world to an auspicious land beyond the heavens."
Because she had previously earned a very high reputation among the cultivators of the far west, they couldn't help but get excited after hearing this. They said that Senior Song must have a way to save the world. What kind of place is that auspicious land outside the heavens?
"Divine Beast Bai Ze, why don't you wake up and lend me a hand?" Song Xia shouted softly, and a stream of spiritual energy entered the little beast's body. With this shout, it seemed as if the little beast had been awakened, and its body began to emit a bright white light. Cultivators who were nearby and touched this light felt their minds calm down a lot.
Then, two horns slowly grew on the little beast's head, a goat's beard grew on its chin, wings spread on its back, and its body and tail transformed into a lion, speaking in human language: "Our two lives have finally shown a chance for life, good."
