"Little Ding!?"

"Ding Sitian!?"

Those present stared in utter shock at the woman inside the stone coffin, a woman dressed in magnificent clothes, with an air of unparalleled nobility in both appearance and demeanor.

However, the sudden loss of voice from Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi makes one wonder about her identity.

Ding Sitian?

Zhang Yue's eyes widened. This was the dream lover of Lao Hu and Lao Wang, two educated youths who had died 20 years ago.

Shouldn't she have turned into bones?

But at the same time, Zhang Yue noticed something else...

That was a piece of jade in Ding Sitian's hand, its surface carved with spider lilies...

Got it! Zhang Yue got it...

Another heretical cultivator, another... 'Xie Yali'.

Princess Aogu of the Khitan, like the Xie Yali sisters, died over a thousand years ago, but she did not reincarnate. Instead, she stayed in her tomb, cultivating herself with the help of the extraterrestrial meteorite, the Red Spider Lily, waiting for the right opportunity.

"Master—" Yoko shouted, rushing forward to save her adoptive mother.

But Ding Sitian gave them a cold look, and the purple light of the 'Red Spider Lily' in her hand flashed—

The next second, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

Several figures blocked Yoko's path.

A bunch of Japanese soldiers...

There was also a group of ancient priests wearing various masks...

A group of Khitan soldiers armed with cold weapons...

The vast, solitary peak was now densely covered with over two hundred strange creatures...

"At the turn of day and night, the red spider lilies bloom..." Yang Xueli murmured to herself, glancing down at her watch. "The turn of day and night is around 3 to 5 o'clock, which is exactly the time."

"Fire! Fire!"

Bah!

Before Yoko could even speak, the surrounding believers opened fire.

So many hideous creatures, neither human nor ghost, were attacking them with weapons; anyone would have fired.

Especially those Japanese soldiers, they were incredibly ferocious, their faces were like dried corpses, and you could smell the stench emanating from them up close.

The bullets hit them, but had no effect whatsoever; the bullets continued to slowly approach.

One of the closest members of the Religious Spirit Society was stabbed in the heart by a Japanese soldier who raised his bayonet, and blood splattered onto the faces of the others.

Many of the followers of the Spirit Cultivation Society could no longer keep an eye on Zhang Yue and the group of tomb raiders. In their extreme fear, they instinctively kept shooting at the monster in front of them.

At that moment, someone suddenly realized something and shouted something.

"Shoot that woman..."

To catch the thief, you must first catch the king; that woman naturally refers to 'Ding Sitian'.

It's obvious that these monsters were summoned by that woman.

"No!" +2

One shout came from Yoko, and the other from Wang Kaixuan.

But it was too late...

Bah!Bah!

Several gunshots rang out. In their fear, these people completely forgot that Ying Caihong was their boss and cult leader. Although some hesitated, two or three of them fired their guns instinctively.

But one person was even faster...

That's Wang Kaixuan.

Wang Kaixuan stood in front of them, taking three bullets with him, his blood spraying directly onto the two women.

"Xiao Ding... Xiao Ding, you're alright... that's so good..." Blood trickled from the corner of Wang Kaixuan's mouth, but he still smiled at Ding Sitian and reached out to touch her face...

Snapped!

Ding Sitian frowned, threw Ying Caihong aside, and slammed her onto Wang Kaixuan. She looked at Wang Kaixuan as if he were trash, a slave, or something dirty.

Wang Kaixuan was hit and rolled several times before falling off the platform.

"Old Wang!" +2

Hu Bayi ran over with a heart-wrenching scream and finally managed to grab Wang Kaixuan before he fell off the cliff. Yang Xueli, who was standing nearby, also rushed over to help.

Several Japanese soldiers and ox-headed and horse-faced demons slowly approached, intending to kill them, but Zhang Yue blocked them and threw out several exorcism talismans.

When it clung to their bodies, even bodies that couldn't be killed by bullets turned to ashes in an instant.

"It seems that Maoshan Taoist techniques... are still effective against them." Zhang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

……

"Old Wang, are you alright?" Hu Bayi tore open his clothes with a sorrowful expression and bandaged Wang Kaixuan's wound.

"No, no need to bandage me... I'm not going to live..."

Wang Kaixuan didn't care about his injuries. Instead, he looked at Ding Sitian with a grief-stricken expression. "Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding seems to not remember us."

"Old Hu, do you know what's going on?" Wang Kaixuan, who had been speaking haltingly, suddenly seemed to become fluent.

A final burst of energy before death—

The others immediately understood that this was Wang Kaixuan's last bit of time.

"Obviously, she's not your Xiao Ding..." Zhang Yue's voice came from the side.

"Master Zhang, she... she's not Xiao Ding, then who is she?"

Two lines of tears streamed down Wang Kaixuan's face as he tightly gripped Zhang Yue. "Tell me, or I won't die in peace..."

"See for yourself..." Zhang Yue sighed, walked over to Wang Kaixuan, picked up the Mengjie sponge and sprayed it into his eyes twice.

After opening his Yin-Yang eyes, Wang Kaixuan felt a moment of mental confusion.

He saw... a woman who looked almost exactly like Ding Sitian, her shadow hovering behind 'Ding Sitian'...

"It... must be Princess Augu of the Khitan, or rather... it possessed Ding Sitian."

Zhang Yue glanced at the glowing spider lily in Ding Sitian's hand and deduced a truth: "The truth should be... Ding Sitian from twenty years ago didn't die at all. Instead, she was controlled by it, her soul was devoured, and then it slowly took over its body, becoming its new body..."

Yang Xueli murmured to herself, "The tombstone says that Princess Aogu of the Khitan was a high priest, so she was also a cultivator."

"And the Other Shore Flower Valley... is a bridge connecting the realms of the living and the dead..."

Zhang Yue continued, picking up where Shirley left off, "So she might have refined the spider lily into her natal magic weapon before she died, and after death, it attached itself to the spider lily..."

"The red spider lily has magical abilities and an inexhaustible source of energy. After her death, she hid in an underground tomb to cultivate, practicing in this state of the dead."

"Back then, those Japanese soldiers accidentally dug through here while building a military base. So Princess Augu used the spider lily to resurrect the dead and kill them..."

"But since those Japanese soldiers were all men, they were useless against her, until your arrival..."

"Ding Sitian's fate and appearance just happened to match, so she was possessed."

"So that's how it is..." Blood trickled from the corner of Wang Kaixuan's mouth as he slowly closed his eyes. "So, Xiao Ding really is dead... But at least I got to see her... Xiao Ding, wait for me... Brother Kai is coming to find you."

Hu Bayi cried his heart out, "Old Wang, Old Wang... don't die!"

Yang Xueli's eyes were also red, but she pulled Hu Bayi up and said, "There's no time to cry. Stand up, we have to get out of here quickly."

"Run away?" Hu Bayi gritted his teeth and shook off Yang Xueli's hand. "No way, Old Wang can't have died in vain."

Yang Xueli roared, "Revenge? What are you going to use to get revenge?"

"Revenge... isn't actually that difficult..."

A faint voice came from the side, "As long as we break that jade stone of the other shore flower, these monsters will immediately disappear..."
