Hua Yanshu shook her head and asked her, "Did you hear that?"

"what?"

My heart, my heart is beating.

“Miss…” the man said, somewhat frightened, “Everyone’s heart will be pounding.”

Hua Yanshu shook her head: "No, mine is different."

She touched her heart and muttered to herself.

"I touched a pitch-black heart."

-------------

"Hua Yanshu, what are you doing? How dare you betray me!" A pink phantom emerged from Qing Xuelan, roaring angrily at her.

The phantom ignored the pressure of a True Immortal, and its roar even caused spatial tremors, causing everyone in the square to change their expressions drastically.

Hua Yanshu stood there, her clothes fluttering in the strong wind, her nine tails swaying in the wind, her expression calm, ignoring the roar of the pink phantom.

Before she could say anything, one of the tokens on her body began to glow, and a green phantom appeared behind her.

"Heh, why use the word 'betrayal'?" the green phantom laughed. "She met me first. What you expected was just a performance I made her put on. And what makes you think she's your subordinate?"

"Ye Buxin!" The pink phantom gritted its teeth in anger. "Meeting her first is bullshit! You even used your origin to change the past. You're really willing to go all out. With such a large-scale alteration, I'm afraid you won't be able to hold on for long, will you?"

"It's the last round, what's the point of saving money?" The green phantom laughed. "Go, Hua Yanshu, kill Li Chumo. That guy doesn't have the Heavenly Will. Even if you kill her, the Heavenly Will won't do anything."

"Wait, wait! Flower Tree, let's talk this out. What benefits did that guy promise you? I can give you those too. Everything is negotiable!" the pink phantom hurriedly said.

The green figure sneered and said, "Hua Yan Tree, I have done everything I promised you. Whether it is the Fulong Tree or the correct method of your ancestral secret technique, I have told you everything. As long as you kill Li Chumo, I will also tell you how to avoid the lifespan problem of the fox-human bloodline."

Hua Yanshu lifted her foot and walked step by step toward Li Chumo.

The pink phantom knew something was wrong and shouted anxiously, "Hua Yanshu, don't listen to that dog woman's nonsense! She's lying to you. Fate may be able to change, but one's bloodline can never be altered, especially for you orcs. Your bloodline talent is what it is; there's no such thing as avoiding it!"

The green figure narrowed its eyes and said, "Hua Yanshu, don't listen to that person's nonsense. She is just an incarnation of will, or rather, a remnant of will, something that exists by relying on a token. Go and kill Li Chumo directly; she can't stop you."

"Damn you, Ye Buxin, I'm going to kill you!"

The pink phantom was both anxious and angry, but she was helpless.

Qing Xuelan was her last backup plan. The reason she chose to keep her was twofold: firstly, Li Chumo was related to her by blood, and secondly, Qing Xuelan herself was not willing to be weak and there was a possibility of a deal.

She thought she had made all the necessary preparations, but she never expected that Ye Buxin would still find a loophole.

Now that things have come to this, she can only pin her hopes on Qing Xuelan: "Quick, stop her! Li Chumo is your sister's child, you don't want her to die, do you?!"

Qing Xuelan gritted her teeth and had no choice but to get up.

The green figure coldly said, "Hua Yanshu, kill her!"

Hua Yanshu quickened her pace, flicked her hand and released a burst of demonic energy, knocking away Lan Xiu, who was protecting Li Chumo.

Qing Xuelan gritted her teeth, unleashed her demonic energy, struggled to break free of the restraints, and stood in front of Li Chumo.

"Qing Xuelan, you traitor, how dare you block my way!?"

Hua Yanshu sneered and suddenly unleashed a terrifying demonic aura that swept over like a vast ocean.

Before Qing Xuelan could even react, she was so overwhelmed by the aura that blood trickled from the corner of her mouth: "Hahaha, it would be my honor to die at the hands of the clan chief."

She fully transformed into a beast, unleashing her core secret technique. Countless demonic energies condensed into a single line and surged forward.

Both sides' momentum had undoubtedly reached its limit as they charged towards each other.

The pink phantom roared angrily, "Ye Buxin, you despicable scoundrel, I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

The green figure scoffed, "The howl of a loser."

The momentum of both sides surged, creating an earth-shattering spectacle!

-------------

night.

Qing Xuelan was covered in wounds and sat on the ground leaning against a rock, glaring fiercely at the woman in front of her.

"Just kill me."

Hua Yanshu stood before her, bathed in moonlight, still so elegant.

Why did you run away?

“If you want to escape, then you want to escape, is that not allowed?” Qing Xuelan snapped her neck: “I’ve had enough of the rules of the fox tribe, so just kill me.”

Hua Yanshu looked at her expressionlessly: "Where are you going?"

Qing Xuelan gave a bitter laugh: "You can go anywhere, as long as you don't follow the rules, anything is fine."

Hua Yanshu stepped forward, gathering demonic energy in her right hand.

Qing Xuelan closed her eyes.

boom!

The expected pain did not come. Qing Xuelan opened her eyes and found that the hand was stuck next to her cheek, drawing blood.

"You go."

Hua Yanshu stopped and calmly said, "Once you've completely left this place, I will issue a kill order."

Qing Xuelan asked, "Why don't you kill me now?"

Hua Yanshu retorted, "Why must I kill you?"

"...Aren't you the clan leader? You chased me all the way here just to kill me to prove the clan rules, right? Why are you doing this again...?"

"I'm chasing you to find out why you want to leave," Hua Yanshu said. "Since you want to leave, of course I won't stop you."

"Hmph... You're quite a peculiar chieftain. Is it alright to release me? I'm a member of the fox tribe, you know~" Qing Xuelan asked with a smile.

"Of course it's related, that's why I said I would issue a kill order."

Under the moonlight, she looked at Qing Xuelan and said:

“But you are not just a member of the fox tribe, you are also yourself. You want freedom, so I will give you freedom.”

-------------

"What!?"

What are you doing!?

The pink phantom and the green figure were both taken aback, because their attacks were not aimed at each other, but at the tokens to which their wills were entrusted.

"Hmph!" Hua Yanshu snorted coldly and shattered Jiang Mochang's token with a single palm strike.

"Shatter!" Qing Xuelan used all her strength, gathering demonic energy to shatter Ye Buxin's keepsake.

Both sides used all their strength, and the token that symbolized their will shattered just like that!

This keepsake was Ye Buxin and Jiang Mochang's last reliance in this world, and now that it has shattered, their will is also beginning to dissipate.

"You two are actually in cahoots!?" The pink phantom was utterly astonished and couldn't believe it.

"Hua Yanshu, why did you do this?" The green figure looked at Hua Yanshu with a cold face. "It's come to this, don't you want to break free from the curse of your bloodline's lifespan? Besides, your relationship with that Li Chumo isn't that good, so why..."

"Hmph! I, Hua Yanshu, hate it most when people make me do things I don't want to do. I listened to you before only to gain power, but now that I have the power, you're useless to me." Hua Yanshu sneered, "Do you think I really care that much about the curse? I enjoy the benefits that the bloodline brings, and naturally I must accept its drawbacks, because this is the bloodline of me, Hua Yanshu!"

"Flower Tree...do you know what kind of trouble the person you're protecting will bring me?" The green figure asked coldly.

"That's your business, not mine." Hua Yanshu straightened up, her eyes filled with disdain. "Speaking of which, I particularly dislike both you and that pink figure. The Way of Heaven? The Way of Humanity? The struggle between the righteous protagonists? Ha, so what! Why should I, Hua Yanshu, become a pawn in your battle, risking my life for your goals?"

“I don’t care about fate or destiny. I only do what I want to do. You two aliens want to use me and my people. I’ll stop you and not let you succeed.”

A snow-white back, with peonies in full bloom.

Facing two female villains, Hua Yanshu showed no fear, displaying her queenly demeanor.

"Heh heh, even though I am just a wisp of will, don't forget that I have imprinted my mark on your soul. With a single thought, your soul will shatter!" the green figure threatened again.

Hua Yanshu said calmly, "Then give it a try."

"The imprint has disappeared? How is that possible? Your fox-people shouldn't know anything about soul techniques!" The green figure's emotions surged again. "How did you do that!?"

“She doesn’t understand, but I do!” Qing Xuelan said with a grin, “In all my years in Bailin City, I have exchanged secret techniques with many orc tribes, some of which are aimed at the soul. Just now, I incorporated such a secret technique into my attack. Your imprint is ultimately just a thought, very superficial, so it was naturally destroyed by me.”

"You two..." The green figure scanned the two, "You two, without exchanging a single word, yet you're so in sync!"

Perhaps it was on that night of escape.

Perhaps it was because of the eye contact they had exchanged not long ago.

The moment Hua Yanshu looked at Qing Xuelan, everything was understood without words.

The two cooperated in this way, destroying the two chess players' arrangements in this world.

“True freedom is the freedom of will,” Hua Yanshu said. “I will give this freedom to my people.”

“That’s right, that’s right.” Qing Xuelan nodded with a smile: “What the child wants to do should be decided by herself. The only thing we elders can do is give her the freedom to choose!”

"Hehehehe, hahahahahahaha!"

The green figure looked up and laughed heartily.

After laughing, she said, "You guys don't know..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qing Xuelan dispersed her with her demonic energy.

"You've already lost, why are you still putting on airs?" she said, rubbing her fists.

The two fox-people looked at the pink phantom at the same time; now, only she remained, not yet completely dissipated.

She had regained her composure and said, "I understand what you mean. I think my goals don't conflict with yours."

She said, "Li Chumo ultimately wants..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was also shattered by a palm strike from the Flower Tree.

"It's up to her to decide what she thinks," Hua Yanshu said calmly. "There's no need for you to interfere."

Taixu.

Jiang Mochang suddenly stood up, then sat down again.

She stared blankly into the distance, as if she hadn't yet recovered from the unexpected turn of events.
