Ten years is a long time, but it's very short inside Silver Waterfall Sea.
Fang Zong sat at the village entrance, watching the Silver Waterfall Sea churn up silvery-white dust, surging in from all directions. The dust was filled with silvery-white, devilish shadows. He charged in, and after several battles, returned to the village covered in blood.
"Are you injured?" The beautiful woman quickly came over to bandage Fang Zong's wound.
"No need." Fang Zong took a deep breath, and the bloodstains all over his body visibly healed until not a single scar remained. "This is the first time I've been injured, and I couldn't protect you." Fang Zong asked calmly, "How much did you lose?"
"All the water was swallowed up, half of the food was gone, and three people died."
The beautiful woman spoke casually, and Fang Zong nodded. As he turned away, he secretly clenched his fist.
Three people died, three lives... This might seem like a relief to the beautiful woman and others, but what did he see it as? The people in this village had never done anything wrong since birth, they were simple and pure, yet they had to endure hunger and thirst and the attacks of demons rushing out of the Silver Waterfall Sea, and then die.
They had never seen the dazzling world before!
"Tomorrow marks the ten-year mark; you can leave now."
The beautiful woman spoke casually, then noticed Fang Zong's back stop. She lowered her head, "A man like Zong must have many female confidantes outside. What am I? Just something that appeared out of nowhere and will surely die." The beautiful woman raised her head again, her smile even more relaxed, "Shall we see you off?"
“No need.” Fang Zong continued walking towards the village entrance and sat down. “Ten years have passed for you, but probably not even a single day has passed outside. I am here for training, so that I can better control the energy within my body.”
Fang Zong thought to himself: As expected of such a terrifying existence as a Dao artifact. Although it cannot increase the purity of the energy in his body, the power of the energy has been amplified hundreds of times. After using it for so long, his control over the energy has become extremely meticulous.
If I were to go out and fight my past self now, I could defeat him within three moves...
"You still want to stay? Then... can you give me ten years?" The beautiful woman finally mustered her courage: "My name is Ma Ling'er, and I am the spirit of a peach wood sword that the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron took away a long time ago. I... can you give me ten years?"
"I have girlfriends outside, not just one."
"But all I want is ten years in the Silverfall Sea."
Is it worth it?
"I'm going to die here sooner or later. Do you want me to die as an old woman?"
Ma Ling'er laughed mischievously, blinked, and took the initiative to walk up to Fang Zong and put her arms around his waist from behind.
Fang Zong's body suddenly stiffened. He took a deep breath and slowly pulled Ma Ling'er's hand away.
"I won't let you die..." Before she could finish speaking, suddenly, a dark gap opened in the sky, and Little Sister Di fell out of it.
"You beast, die!"
Three figures shot out from behind. Two of them were dressed in Taoist robes and looked like middle-aged Taoist priests. The last one surprised Fang Zong greatly; it was actually Lin Qiaoyu.
Lin Qiaoyu's skin became even more radiant, even somewhat transparent, revealing her deep black skull, which was a fragment of the Ghost Bone that Fang Zong had given her. It emitted a faint light that enveloped the little girl's entire figure.
"The Demon Bone possesses immense corrosive power, suppressing all artifact spirits."
Standing high in the sky, Lin Qiaoyu said coldly, "I'm sorry, I have to kill you."
"Why did you kill Little Sister Di, big sister? You've been chasing Little Sister Di for ten years, didn't you want to capture her?" Little Sister Di looked up, feeling very wronged.
Lin Qiaoyu said in a clear voice, "The Three Yuan Earth Cauldron is an extremely terrifying Dao artifact. No one, not even a nation's destiny, can control a Dao artifact with a spirit, so I must kill you. If you live, any negative emotions you have will cause a major change in the Silver Waterfall Sea, condensing into substantial resentment that will harm everyone here, so I must kill you. I'm sorry."
"If you're alive, Ah Zong won't be able to get the treasures from the Three Yuan Earth Cauldron," she added vaguely. All the reasons above paled in comparison to this one, but she simply couldn't bring herself to say it.
Little Earth Sister was just a simple spirit, living a lonely life here for many years. She knew that her venturing out would cause a chaos in the world's energy, resulting in too many casualties, so she never attempted to venture outside. How could she bear to kill such an innocent little girl?
"Keep her under control, let's move!"
Two middle-aged Taoist priests formed a sword incantation with their hands, and two sharp swords shot upwards, two becoming four, four becoming eight, eight becoming sixteen... In the end, the sky was filled with sword shadows, shooting towards the little sister like shooting stars.
They showed no mercy, yet a knife seemed to surge into the sky like an earth dragon.
With a single strike, Fang Zong shattered the countless sword shadows in the sky. Standing beside Di Xiaomei, he looked up and stared coldly at Lin Qiaoyu.
"Who told you to go into Silverfall Sea to hunt her down?" Fang Zong asked.
Lin Qiaoyu remained as indifferent as ever: "Old Wang said you wouldn't kill innocent weapon spirits, and asked me to help you along with two junior brothers of Iron Chain Grand General. You didn't say no, so I came."
"Damn it!" Fang Zong glared at Lin Qiaoyu: "Are you trying to cheat me?"
"No, you didn't say we couldn't kill her."
"Then I'll tell you now, let her go!"
"good."
Lin Qiaoyu immediately withdrew the power of the Ghost Bone Fragment, and Di Xiaomei's body blurred, ready to dissipate into the world of the Silver Waterfall Sea at any moment, making it impossible for anyone to catch her again. The two middle-aged Taoist priests bowed their heads and uttered "Amitabha," then said with a wry smile, "Man proposes, God disposes. The Silver Waterfall Sea is vast and boundless, yet Di Xiaomei still managed to be encountered by Lord Thug... We are the Taoist priests Fa Chenzi and Fa Yuanzi, who greet Lord Thug. We take our leave."
The two middle-aged Taoist priests left Silver Waterfall Sea directly. They were members of the Ghost Killing Team and would never fight with Fang Zong.
Besides, Fang Zong is now the successor to the captain of the Ghost Slayer Squad. Even if they don't approve of Fang Zong's decision, they won't contradict him. It's better for them to leave and avoid seeing him altogether.
Lin Qiaoyu landed beside Fang Zong and asked, "What do we do next?"
Let's have a chat.
Fang Zong sat down on the ground casually.
Lin Qiaoyu was taciturn and even less talkative than Li Xiaoran. She looked at Fang Zong and Di Xiaomei without saying a word.
Di Xiaomei sobbed, "Big brother, did Di Xiaomei really bring those silvery-white villains?"
"I don't know." Fang Zong looked at the sky beyond the Silver Waterfall Sea.
He said he didn't know, but Di Xiaomei was in a bad mood, and the Silver Waterfall Sea began to churn. The silvery-white evil resentment, hundreds of times more terrifying than it had been in the past ten years, surged toward this place like an army.
"There are so many bad guys," the little girl wiped away her tears, "Big brother, you can't beat them."
