She kept telling herself not to stoop to the level of the person in front of her; he was just a fool blinded by greed.
“I don’t want to hurt you. As long as you leave here with your people, I will guarantee your safety. Song Wu, you need to know that if you continue to stay here, you may not be able to refine the magical beast at all, and you may even be killed by it.”
How could the ancient Devouring Beast be easily subdued? The person who sealed this beast here permanently used all their strength to stomp on it and achieve the seal.
How could all of these people combined possibly accomplish that?
Song Wu could have left unscathed if he had just done so, but he didn't want to do that and insisted on making a scene.
Xie Zhou was unwilling to say anything more and turned around to check on Luo Fentian to see if he was in any fatal danger.
Just as he turned around, Song Wu used all his strength to swing his sword into the air, trying to break through the restrictive seal and attack Xie Zhou.
The spirit insect, hiding to the side, saw this and realized something was wrong. It immediately rushed forward, transformed into its true form, and took the heavy blow.
Song Wu originally intended to use forbidden techniques to eliminate Xie Zhou, but he did not expect that someone would be willing to risk their life to withstand this heavy blow, which really ruined his plans.
However, it was now powerless to reverse the situation. After using this device, its body could no longer support the surrounding demonic energy, and it collapsed to its knees.
There was no way they could use it a second time; they could only watch helplessly as Xie Zhou turned around and understood everything.
She never imagined that the person in front of her could do something so hateful for a moment of greed. But now was not the time to think about that; she quickly ran forward and picked up the spirit insect.
The other person lay dying in his arms, raising his chin to look at the master he had protected with his life, perhaps repaying a previous debt of gratitude.
But all things have feelings, and no one wants to leave just like that, so we can only watch helplessly.
The spirit insect opened its eyes wide in resentment. It had hoped to see its master's life get better and better, but it never expected that it would end here.
"Master, it's so good that you're alright." The spirit insect raised its hand, wanting to touch Xie Zhou's red eyes.
Unexpectedly, the force caused her hand to fall rapidly downwards, but Xie Zhou caught it in mid-air and placed it next to her cheek, gently rubbing it.
The movements were very gentle, as if afraid of hurting the people inside.
For a moment, even with his mysterious powers, he didn't know what to do.
But she was still unwilling to give up using the power within her and wanted to use the goddess's aura to revive her.
He raised his hand, gathering all his power, intending to inject it into the spirit insect's body, but found it utterly futile.
The fact that the spirit insects couldn't absorb it was one thing, but the spirit power itself was also slowly draining away, as if it were about to leave this world.
Xie Zhou tried repeatedly to help her, but to no avail. Tears of resentment streamed down her face. The spirit insect used the last of its strength to wipe away her tears, then swayed to the side and fell heavily to the ground.
That crystal-clear tear actually fell onto the magical beast beside it, as if it were the very essence of creation.
“Master, I’m afraid I… will never be able to stay by your side again. Wherever you go in the future… please be careful and never put yourself in danger again.”
Although the spirit insect was very reluctant to see its master cry, tears had already fallen from its eyes and dripped to the ground, impossible to stop.
At this moment, Luo Fentian slowly got up from the ground, and looked at his fingertips and found that the spiritual power that had been broken was now slowly recovering.
He turned to look at the two people embracing each other, his heart filled with doubt. But after thinking carefully, he finally remembered what he had heard and the sounds he had heard while he was unconscious.
Helplessly, he stepped forward and gently stroked the spirit insect's weak forehead. "I have a way that might be worth a try."
Upon hearing this, Xie Zhou abruptly raised his head, his eyes reddening, and stared at the other person.
"Senior brother, do you have any ideas? Tell me quickly!"
The pain had numbed Xie Zhou, but upon hearing that there was another solution, she immediately lost her goddess-like composure and screamed.
"I once read about a forbidden technique in a book. It said that by using one's own curse to kill the other person, that person would completely disappear, their spiritual power would dissipate from the world, and there would be no more news of that person." Luo Fentian had just come over to investigate and could roughly guess what methods Song Wu had used to cause the current situation.
"So what's the solution?"
"The solution is to kill the person who cast the spell... Only by using their blood can the spell be broken."
Both of their gazes turned to Song Wu, who was seriously injured, which could truly be considered the will of heaven.
I originally wanted to spare his life, but he insisted on coming forward to die without any remorse, so there was nothing I could do.
As if sensing the pressure from the other party, Song Wu's eyes widened instantly, and he retreated in fear.
"No, you can't kill me! If you kill me, the Song family will not let you go! Xie Zhou, you are a goddess, so what? If you kill me, my family will not let the sect go."
After Song Wu finished speaking, he watched as the other party continued to approach him, and his heart tightened. "If you are willing to let me go, I can compensate you with more spirit beasts, spirit insects, anything."
Xie Zhou gently placed the spirit insect in his arms against Luo Fentian and picked up the spirit sword that had fallen to the side.
She wiped away her tears and slowly leaned towards him. "Song Wu, do you know? Not everything in the world can be measured by money. I admit that your Song family is rich, but for me, there is only one spirit insect. I originally wanted to let you leave, but you insisted on going your own way, so don't blame me."
He then raised his sword and, with a swift stroke, ended the man's life. Looking at Song Wu lying on the ground, he couldn't help but feel conflicted.
If he hadn't bothered me, I might have lived a completely different life, but he just wouldn't listen.
She raised her hand and gently wiped away the tears that had fallen on her chin. With a flick of her wrist, she caused the tears to land on the magical beast. In an instant, the beast, which had been half-dead, regained its life force.
But it was also because of this single tear that the rampaging monster calmed down.
Seeing this, the boy drew his sword and stepped forward, intending to kill the monster, absorb its power, and thus improve himself and leave this place.
He recalled the moment he approached and plunged the dagger into the monster's flesh, instantly triggering its fury. It lashed out with its tail, flinging him against a hard stone wall, causing him to cough up blood.
The boy stared wide-eyed in resentment, but ultimately did not close them, simply staring intently at everything before him.
Everyone knew that this guy who was courting death had succeeded.
