“If it’s not hers, there’s no use in forcibly taking it.” Shi Liuchuan sneered. “It’s just a little lightning bolt, and she’s so afraid of it. She should be glad that there’s no heavenly lightning for cultivators to advance, otherwise she would have been reduced to ashes long ago.”
The fellow cultivators also mocked, "Is this the so-called savior touted by the Divine Origin Sect and the Profound Light Sect? Is this all there is to him?"
"It seems we overestimated them. Even a little lightning is enough to give them a hard time."
However, Song Xia did not let his guard down. The fact that several elders of the Divine Origin Sect from his previous life, as well as Shi Tianning, Shi Changqing, and Fairy Su Mu, were able to hold out until the end meant that they still had some trump cards up their sleeves.
Gradually, the cultivators from both sects began to realize that something was wrong. Although there was a lot of lightning in the far west, the lightning clearly increased in the direction they went, indicating that someone was definitely manipulating it.
Although they had discovered the truth, it shocked them. Even the cultivators from their two sects were helpless against these lightning bolts. Just how much skill did the person behind this possess?
However, this also confirms that the other side probably does not have the courage to fight them head-on, so they can only plot in secret.
"Sneaking around like that, come out now!"
Song Xia chuckled. Although it was an insult, she had to admit that the other party was right. Wasn't she a ghost now?
"You've found out!" She told Rukawa and the others to hold back, then appeared with her hood up, her voice ethereal, "Senior Qing, Su Mu, it's been a long time."
Shi Changqing and Su Muxianzi were startled, then frowned: "You know us? Who exactly are you?"
The two racked their brains but couldn't find anyone among all the people they knew who matched this person, and their brows furrowed even deeper.
"You're the one who received the inheritance?"
“Yes.” Song Xia readily admitted, not forgetting to mock, “Do you think I stole your things? Don’t be so narcissistic. Doesn’t everything in this world belong to your Divine Origin Sect and Profound Light Sect? Your children, who are so arrogant, are not people of great fortune at all, let alone saviors of the world. If they were truly chosen by heaven, how come they can’t even get a legacy?”
Shi Changqing and Su Muxianzi successfully darkened their faces and said in a venomous tone, "If it weren't for you, you treacherous villain, beating us to the punch, we might have already changed this world."
"Stop labeling me and stop praising yourselves. You've been lying for so many years, you've almost fooled yourselves, haven't you? If it were truly meant to be yours, how could I have gotten it so easily? You're shameless!"
"Shut up!" Shi Tiankui couldn't bear to see her parents being humiliated like this, and even more so, she couldn't bear to see her and her brother's identities as saviors being slandered. She couldn't help but shout at them.
Song Xia shifted her gaze to her, her tone becoming increasingly disdainful: "You're Shi Tiankui? Are you terrified of these lightning bolts? Those who aren't of your own bloodline are not favored by the heavens. You shouldn't have come here."
Upon hearing this, everyone who knew the inside story was shocked. How did this person know?
What do you mean by that?
"What do you mean? Of course, it means exactly what it says! Your mother failed back then, but you succeeded. But success is useless. You can't take what doesn't belong to you by force."
"You are Song Xia!" Fairy Su Mu glared at her with venomous eyes. The usually elegant and noble Fairy Su Mu was now staring at her like a fanatical madwoman. "You are Song Xia. Only Song Xia knows so much. I would never mistake you!"
"How is that possible?" Shi Changqing was stunned. "How could she be Song Xia? Song Xia is long dead. Su Mu, don't fall for her trap."
"You are not human!" Elder Yuan concluded after observing for a long time. "What exactly are you? How did you cultivate?"
"Ghost cultivators?" Elder Ying murmured. "Do ghost cultivators really exist in this world? Even without a physical body, they can still cultivate using their soul?"
"Clap clap clap!" Song Xia clapped lightly. "Elder Yuan of the Divine Origin Sect and Elder Ying of the Profound Light Sect are indeed insightful. I am indeed a ghost cultivator."
She pulled down her hood, revealing her beautiful and ethereal face to everyone. Only her eyes seemed to see through people's hearts, clearly showing the disheveled state of Shi Changqing and Fairy Su Mu.
"It really is you!" Fairy Su Mu seemed unwilling to believe it. Guessing was one thing, but confirming it was another. "How could you still be alive? How could you still be alive?"
"Perhaps God couldn't bear to see me suffer so much?"
Shi Changqing's gaze was complicated. He wanted to say something, but couldn't. However, he soon realized that he couldn't see through Song Xia's cultivation level!
"Elder Ying, do ghost cultivators also have different levels like us ordinary cultivators?"
"She is at the Integration Stage." Elder Yuan said in a deep voice. He knew of Song Xia's existence, and he had even personally participated in what happened back then. But this woman was only at the Golden Core Stage back then. How could she have cultivated to the Integration Stage in just over twenty years? Are ghost cultivators really that heaven-defying?
"The Integration Stage... It's actually the Integration Stage." Master Changqing clenched his fists. He himself only had the cultivation of the early Nascent Soul stage. How did Song Xia manage to do that? Without a physical body, how could her soul transform into a ghost cultivator?
Almost all the elders looked at Song Xia with fervor. No one didn't want to know how to maintain a soul body after the death of the physical body and how to become a ghost cultivator, because it was equivalent to having a second life. Moreover, after becoming a ghost cultivator, one's cultivation level could be improved even faster, right?
Song Xia scanned their eyes one by one, her gaze extremely mocking.
"You were the one who took Shi Liuchuan away back then, weren't you?" Shi Changqing finally had an answer now, remembering his eldest son's disappearance.
Song Xia didn't answer, but he had clearly made up his mind. Then, quite angrily, he said to Fairy Su Mu, "I told you I wasn't biased back then, but you just wouldn't believe me."
“Father, now is not the time to discuss this.” Shi Tiankui thought of another matter. “Is Shi Shuangzhi also not dead?”
Song Xia laughed again: "You're smarter than them. You guessed the key. It's also fortunate that you came along on this trip, otherwise I would have had to put in a lot more effort."
Fairy Su Mu sensed something was wrong: "Song Xia, what are you going to do?"
"What are you doing?" Song Xia's figure suddenly disappeared, appearing directly in front of Shi Tiankui. "Of course, it's to extract the bloodline you stole from my daughter, and then help my daughter be completely resurrected!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she disappeared with Shi Tiankui. Even though Elder Yuan and Elder Ying took immediate action, they were unable to stop her.
The main reason was that they were too unfamiliar with ghost cultivators and had no idea what methods they used, which caused them to miss the best opportunity.
"What are you standing there for! Hurry up and search!" Fairy Su Mu bared her teeth and her eyes were wide with rage. She seemed to have gone mad. Thinking of Song Xia's last words, she couldn't help but tremble.
