The Heavenly Elder and others from the Nine Heavens Palace looked at Song Xia and his group upon their return, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back. Song Xia smiled and nodded, "Now that everything is settled, all that remains is for all cultivators to gather. I wish everyone a bright future."
Hearing this, the high-level cultivators felt a little better. They comforted themselves that out with the old, in with the new. Once they arrived in the other world, they would successfully advance to the Mahayana stage and have everything they needed.
Upon learning the exact time when the passage would open, all the surviving cultivators and mortals were overjoyed; they could finally be reborn!
These past two days, Song Xia, Shi Liuchuan, and Shi Shuangzhi have also had a rare break, so Song Xia made them a lot of delicious food.
"Why do you have to work so hard, Mother? When we get to the other world, we can try lots of new and exotic foods."
"Yes, Mom, we'll try all the delicious food then."
Seeing that Song Xia remained silent for a long time, the brother and sister gradually realized that something was wrong.
"Mother, you will come with us, right?" Shi Shuangzhi asked in a trembling voice.
"Mother, why?" Shi Liuchuan almost couldn't hold back his tears, his eyes already reddening.
Song Xia sighed softly: "You've all forgotten, Mother is a ghost cultivator, and the new world doesn't welcome ghost cultivators."
"Then we can..."
"No, the other world doesn't welcome cultivators either."
The brother and sister were speechless. Was their mother about to perish?
Why? My mother has done so many good deeds, why shouldn't she be given a way to live?
“Don’t despair. Mother is not without a way out. Although this world is about to collapse, some places with abundant spiritual energy will turn into fragments and float in the void. As long as Mother stays in them and cultivates to the Mahayana stage, she will be able to shatter the void.”
"Then we'll wait until you reach the Mahayana stage in your cultivation before we leave, Mother."
"Many cultivators and mortals are already impatient. No fragment can accommodate so many people. Have you forgotten that Mother still has so many treasures on her body? She will not perish easily."
Despite saying this, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi were not at ease, because the land fragments floating in the void had no boundary protection and could be torn apart by spatial wind blades and time rifts at any time.
"Mother knows formations, so she can hold out for a while. You must trust your mother. What has she ever failed to do, as she has always done?"
Seeing that the two of them remained silent, Song Xia sighed again: "Don't forget the responsibilities you bear, think about the expectations everyone has for you. Do you really want to abandon them? Over the years, they have fought alongside you, enduring so much hardship. Can you bear to see their last hope shattered?"
"But we don't want anything to happen to you, Mother."
"Mother said that she might not be in any danger."
"It's all the fault of Shi Chuande, Shi Changqing, and a few elders. If they hadn't had such wicked intentions, Mother, you wouldn't have been in this mess back then," Shi Liuchuan said bitterly.
"The death of Fairy Qingxiang was too easy; she got off too easily."
"Isn't Fairy Su Mu still alive? Maybe she's still hoping to go to the new world to heal her dantian!"
"She's dreaming!"
The brother and sister were filled with pent-up anger, and they set their sights on Shi Chuande, Shi Changqing, the elders of the Nine Heavens Palace, and Fairy Su Mu, among others. They were determined not to let the matter rest easily.
Because they didn't know if they would be able to meet again in the future, Shi Liuchuan and Shi Shuangzhi couldn't bear to be separated from Song Xia for even a moment, and wished they could stick to her.
Meanwhile, Meng Jie and her group successfully located the hiding place of Shi Tianning and Fairy Su Mu.
"What do you want to do?" Shi Tianning looked at them warily. "Internal strife is not allowed in the city. That's the rule!"
"We are grateful for Senior Song's great kindness, so we will not take action within the city. However, Shi Tianning, you and your mother should not expect to easily reach the New World."
"We're all from the same sect, why must you be so ruthless?"
"You say we're trying to wipe us out?" Meng Jie seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. "When your mother, that bitch, forcibly took away my exotic water, did she ever consider my future? I had already escaped the sect, and you used the person I cared about most to force me back. Did I want to go treasure hunting with you? It was clearly because you were afraid of the danger that you sent us to scout ahead! I am the successor chosen by the senior!"
"Shi Tianning, how many opportunities did you and your sister seize under the protection of the two sects? You should have thought of this day the moment you started fighting!"
"After all these years, we can finally take our revenge ourselves."
"You're not much better. You have so many resources and the bloodline of a true dragon, yet you're only at the Nascent Soul stage. Compared to Shi Liuchuan, you're not even worth a hair on his head."
"Shut up, all of you shut up!" Shi Tianning's face twisted in a ferocious grimace. "What I do is none of your business!"
"What does it have to do with us? You took all the cultivation resources you had by stepping on our hard work. You say it has nothing to do with us? Even now, you are still so naive and ridiculous."
"Don't worry, we won't do anything for the next two days. You and your mother have two more days to live."
A crowd surrounded Shi Tianning and Su Muxianzi's courtyard, preventing them from leaving. No one came to visit them, and they looked at the two of them every day with mocking, cold, hateful, and murderous eyes, causing Su Muxianzi's mentality to gradually collapse.
Because she knew her son was no match for these people, her hard-won hope was shattered.
So Fairy Su Mu started blaming and beating Shi Tianning again, blaming him for being useless. She had given him so many resources before, but he was still only at the Nascent Soul stage, allowing her to be bullied by these lowly people.
For two whole days, Su Muxianzi's scolding and beating never stopped, which made Meng Jie and the others secretly very happy.
Then came the tsk-tsk of disdain. Is this the same Su Mu Fairy who was once aloof, otherworldly, and ethereal? Now she's practically a madwoman.
Two days later, Meng Jie threw out a bronze mirror: "Take a good look at yourself now, you are truly a sight to behold."
"No, take it away, take it away!"
The more she tried to hide, the more Meng Jie and the others insisted she see. Even so, Fairy Su Mu was not completely insane and still held onto the hope of reaching the new world.
Everyone else is starting to leave, why aren't you leaving?
"No rush, we haven't had enough of your despair yet!"
Su Mu Fairy retreated step by step, and just as Meng Jie made her move, she pushed Shi Tianning, who was waiting nearby, in front of her to block the damage.
Logically speaking, she is just a mortal without any cultivation, and there is absolutely no way she could be a match for Shi Tianning. It's just that Shi Tianning was completely unprepared for her.
Seeing Shi Tianning fall under her sword, Meng Jie also fell silent for a moment.
Shi Tianning had no will to live, and only looked at Fairy Su Mu with a bitter smile: "Mother, I don't owe you anything now."
"No!" Upon seeing this, Fairy Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then began to hug Shi Tianning frantically, "Tianning, Tianning, you can't die! Why didn't you dodge? You could have dodged!"
Meng Jie looked at her with pity: "Don't you understand? He didn't want to live anymore, but even if he resisted, he couldn't leave safely."
