The news that Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui were not saviors at all, and that Shi Tiankui had died because of stripping the true savior of the Phoenix bloodline, quickly spread throughout the cultivation world, greatly shocking the Shenyuan Sect and Xuanguang Sect.

The lower-ranking disciples of the two sects, in particular, were filled with anxiety and fear of retaliation after learning that Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi, whom they had bullied in the past, were the true saviors and that their cultivation had now reached the Nascent Soul stage.

Seeing the chaos within the sect, Shi Changqing was furious and his face turned ashen. Seeing that no one paid any attention to him, Shi Tianning silently led Fairy Su Mu back to the Xuan Guang Sect.

The atmosphere in Xuan Guang Sect was not much better than that in Shen Yuan Sect, but because Fairy Su Mu was a personal disciple of Fairy Qing Xiang, the sect leader of Xuan Guang Sect, the two of them were at least not treated coldly.

"How dare Song Xia!" Fairy Qingxiang roared in fury. "Are Shi Chuande and Shi Changqing just going to welcome back that slut Song Xia and those two bastards like this?"

"Sect Master, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi are the true saviors." Elder Ying sighed. In the past, Shi Tianning and Shi Tiankui were at least related to their Xuan Guang Sect, but now those two have no close relationship with their Xuan Guang Sect at all.

Not only did they not kill him, but they also harbored hatred. Although they did not kill Su Mu directly this time, abolishing his cultivation and leaving him alive was an even deeper humiliation.

The situation where the Shenyuan Sect and the Xuanguang Sect coexisted in the past will likely be difficult to maintain in the future.

"Tian Kui is dead, Su Mu is crippled, and the Divine Origin Sect hasn't given any explanation?" Fairy Qingxiang's face was ashen, her anger barely contained.

"After all, Song Xia is the biological mother of Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi, and she also has the divine beast Bai Ze by her side. In addition, she hasn't handed over the ancient inheritance she obtained yet, so I guess the Shenyuan Sect is also..."

Elder Ying sighed deeply as he spoke, "Not only that, the Divine Origin Sect also said that our Xuan Guang Sect should cooperate with their Divine Origin Sect's actions to fulfill the demands made by Song Xia."

"Outrageous!" Fairy Qingxiang was furious. "How dare they make demands?"

"Sect Master, we cannot do without those ancient inheritances."

This one sentence made Shi Tianning, who had originally wanted his grandmaster to avenge his sister and mother, swallow his anger. He knew that even his grandmaster was now finding it difficult to take revenge, and that his grandmaster was first and foremost the sect leader of Xuan Guang Sect, and only secondly his mother's master.

"Tianning, go back and take care of your mother first. Your grandmaster will be there soon." Fairy Qingxiang paused. "Tell your mother to think more positively. As long as she's still alive, there's always a way out."

Shi Tianning bowed numbly: "Yes, Grandmaster."

As long as there is hope, there is hope, but my sister will never come back.

Shi Tianning looked up at the sky. On her way back, she noticed that her senior brothers and sisters, who used to fawn over her, were all avoiding her today, and some even looked at her with disdain.

He gripped the spirit sword tightly, then remained silent. He had no right to be willful now; getting his mother back to health as soon as possible was the most important thing.

But Mother's dantian is shattered and her spiritual platform is destroyed. Even her grandmaster, who possesses the bloodline of the Medicine God, is helpless for the time being. Who else can save Mother? Song Xia? But since that woman was the one who did it, how could she possibly save her?

Shi Tianning felt that his future was completely uncertain. Only now did he realize how useless he was!

It's laughable that he used to mock Shi Liuchuan, but now he understands that without sufficient strength and the protection of elders, everything he does is a futile struggle.

However, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi, upon returning to the Divine Origin Sect, had a completely different experience.

Thinking back to when they were still here, no one in the sect looked up to them. Anyone with a bit of courage bullied them. But now, all they see are fawning and obsequious expressions.

Shi Liuchuan raised an eyebrow and chuckled as he looked at one of the managers: "I remember you. You were the senior brother who was in charge of distributing the monthly supplies, right?"

The steward stepped forward with an awkward smile: "Yes, yes, it's kind of you to remember, junior brother. I've already arranged all your accommodations, and you'll be using the finest ingredients for food, clothing, and lodging."

"Aren't the sect's resources tight now? I remember when my sister and I lived in a tenement, we often ran out of even our fixed 20 catties of spirit rice every month, not to mention the spirit stones we used for cultivation, which we could hardly get even one a year."

Shi Liuchuan feigned surprise, and the steward immediately knelt down in fear, but Shi Changqing did not give him a chance to explain: "The sect gave you power, and this is how you treat my children? Guards, take him to the Punishment Hall and hand him over to Elder Xing for severe punishment."

"Young Sect Master, I didn't mean it. Everyone was doing it that way back then, and I was just following the crowd! Junior Brother Liuchuan, Junior Sister Shuangzhi, please give your senior brother a chance to make amends!"

Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi ignored the man's cries. When they were deliberately made difficult by this man, did he ever feel any pity?

The two then looked at the other people they wanted to curry favor with, and they all lowered their heads, afraid that they would be recognized as having committed the same acts of bullying.

After this incident, no one dared to fawn over Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi anymore, fearing that they would be the next ones to be bullied. This was because there were very few people who had never bullied the two of them before, and even if they hadn't physically harmed them, they had never been polite in their words or attitude.

"Pshaw, if they were still as arrogant as before, I would respect them as men."

Shi Shuangzhi chuckled, "Now that Mother is here, and our identities have changed and our cultivation has improved, how dare they! But Mother, do we really want to stay in the Divine Origin Sect forever?"

"Mother knows you don't like it here, but the crisis is getting closer and closer. Getting the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect to help us is the quickest way."

"But I don't want to save them."

"Who said we were going to save them?"

Huh?

The brother and sister both looked at Song Xia, not understanding what he meant.

"Do you still remember what your mother told you? This world is probably beyond saving."

The two looked solemn. If this world could not survive, then what would become of the creatures living beneath it?

"When the time is right, the divine beast Bai Ze will lend you a hand in opening up a passage connecting to another blessed land. Since it is a blessed land, it will not be like this world where the Heavenly Dao is incomplete. Therefore, that land will not accept those who have committed many evils and whose minds are unstable. They will also not be able to pass the heavenly tribulations and tests of that blessed land."

After listening to Song Xia's explanation, the two suddenly understood and had a direction in their hearts regarding how to save the future.

"If that's the case, then aren't all these people from the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect doing all this work for us for nothing?" The brother and sister felt relieved.

Song Xia shrugged: "Probably, but it's not all a dead end. If you repent from now on and do your best to save lives, perhaps Heaven will give you a chance. If you cheat and shirk your responsibilities, you're out of luck."
