Chapter 108: New Book Introduction

Chapter 1

"Sister, save me! It hurts, it hurts so much!" Feng Li’s cries pierced her heart like a dagger.

"Feng Ge, if you want your brother to live, you know what to do, don’t you?" Meng Jingshu pointed to the Soul-locking Array nearby. It was the grave she had prepared for Feng Ge.

Only a grave like this could truly kill someone like Feng Ge.

It wouldn’t just kill her body, but also destroy her soul, wiping her from existence completely.

"Do you think killing me will win you Senior Brother?" Her nails dug into the soft flesh of her palms, but she no longer felt the pain.

"How will I know if I don’t try?" A vicious look appeared on Meng Jingshu’s beautiful face, her eyes brimming with killing intent. "No more nonsense. I’ll count to three. Either you die, or he does."

Feng Li was only ten, but he already knew right from wrong. Before, he hadn’t understood, thinking he would be saved as long as his sister defeated Meng Jingshu.

But now, he seemed to understand. Meng Jingshu wanted to trade his sister’s life for his.

"No, Sister, don’t! Don’t worry about me! Kill her and avenge—" The word ’revenge’ had yet to leave his lips when the fingers gripping Feng Li’s neck suddenly tightened, crushing the sound in his throat.

"One." Meng Jingshu’s resentful and jealous gaze fixed on Feng Ge’s face. ’What kind of Magic Power did this face hold, to make Senior Brother so utterly devoted?’

"How can I trust you? If I die and you still refuse to let Feng Li go, who can I turn to for justice?" ’Meng Jingshu is the Sect Leader’s daughter. Everything she does is right. Who could she possibly turn to for justice?’

"You have no choice!" With that, the fingers choking Feng Li tightened again, and his eyes began to roll back in his head.

Feng Ge had run out of options. She couldn’t just stand by and watch her brother die in front of her.

"Fine. I’ll go in. You’d better keep your word."

Feng Ge turned her head to a relieved Feng Li and said, "A Li, Sister is leaving now. From now on, you have to take care of yourself. Don’t let me worry, okay?"

Feng Li opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but only coughed up a mouthful of blood. He couldn’t utter a single word.

She resolutely walked into the Soul-locking Array. The moment her footsteps halted, poison-laced swords shot out from the mouths of the bronze statues placed at the corners of the array.

Inside the Soul-locking Array, her Xuan Technique was suppressed, and even her movements became extremely slow.

Sharp swords pierced her chest, her back, her abdomen, and her thighs, turning her into a human pincushion.

The intense pain was like a vicious dog, tearing at her body bite by bite, threatening to rip her to shreds.

"Senior Sister, this is bad! Feng Ge’s soul has escaped the Soul-locking Array!" the girl in green robes cried, rushing frantically before Meng Jingshu.

"What did you say?" Meng Jingshu, who had been cultivating with her eyes closed, snapped her eyes open, a sharp glint flashing within them.

The girl in green dropped to her knees, her body trembling as she reported, "That Feng Ge... I don’t know what sorcery she used. She was clearly trapped in the Soul-locking Array, but... but she escaped with two of her souls and three of her spirits."

The harsh look on Meng Jingshu’s face suddenly softened. "You’re saying she only escaped with two souls and three spirits?"

"Yes. She only escaped with two souls and three spirits. The rest are still trapped in the Soul-locking Array."

Meng Jingluan quietly raised her eyes to observe her. Seeing that Meng Jingshu’s earlier anger had mostly faded, replaced by even a faint smile, she inwardly sighed in relief and discreetly wiped the cold sweat from her brow.

Jing Shu stepped down from the chaise, her form-fitting green dress accentuating her slender waist.

"She even managed to learn the Soul Stripping Technique, which has been lost for a hundred years. What a pity." ’So what if she’s a once-in-a-century genius? In the end, she still died by my hand.’

’Without Feng Ge, Senior Brother will be mine.’

"Senior Sister, what should we do now?" Meng Jingluan asked.

Meng Jingshu gave a cold smile, reaching out to stroke a willow branch in the purification bottle. "We don’t need to do anything. It’s merely two souls and three spirits. She can’t become a Fierce Ghost, nor can she enter the cycle of reincarnation. In less than three days, her soul will shatter and scatter, and she will disappear completely." As if affected by the malevolent aura emanating from her, the once-verdant willow leaves suddenly turned yellow.

Chapter 2

Feng Ge was dead, but she still wanted to live.

She was a Pure Yang woman, a rarity seen only once a century. To return to the mortal world, she had to find another Pure Yang woman born on the exact same day and at the exact same moment as her.

’If it’s a once-in-a-century occurrence, how could one be found so easily?’

Even if she found one, given the unique constitution of a Pure Yang woman, her current state as a mere wisp of a soul meant she couldn’t possibly possess the body.

Feng Ge had never been afraid of death!

But to die at the hands of someone like that—she was utterly unreconciled!

Besides, her brother Feng Li was still in that bitch’s hands. She couldn’t die just like this!

Night fell, and Feng Ge drifted out from the willow tree. Her ’body’ had yet to float out of the small grove when a powerful wave of Yin Qi swept toward her.
