The Legend of Shen Li (English Translation of Yu Feng Xing 与凤行)

Chapter 75

"Shen Li, do you still remember what I told you before that when the Ruins of Heavenly Poles collapses, all the demon beasts will be buried within it." 

Xing Zhi embraced Shen Li gently within his arms and said softly, 

"Simply put, when I established the Ruins of Heavenly Poles, I could only support it with the Powers of the Five Elements, except for the Seal of Fire, which I borrowed the power from your father, the other four were all based on the powers of heaven and earth within the Demon Realm."

His ordinary words inadvertently made Shen Li recall some sweet memories that resided within her heart; outside the Ruins of Heavenly Poles, the moon on the mountain and the water in the lake. 

At that time, one of them was suspicious, while the other even carried murderous intentions. 

However, regardless of what was hidden in their hearts at that time, when Shen Li recalled the memories now, she only remembered that moment when the moonlight broke through the miasma. Compared to anywhere else, it was the most beautiful scene ever.

"When I reconstructed the seal, you were with me. I think you understand it clearly, too. When the time comes, if the Ruins of Heavenly Poles are destroyed, then the Demon Realm cannot be saved either."

Shen Li nodded.

"Mhm, the tree on the mountain is the Seal of Wood, the water in the spring is the Seal of Water, the stone slab under the training platform of the barracks is the Seal of Earth, and the iron chains around the the Ruins of Heavenly Poles is the Seal of Metal. 

The three outside happen to form the shape of a triangle, which surrounds the ruins, while the metal hangs on the ruins, and the fire resides within the ruins, this ought to be a foolproof magic array. However..."

"Mhm, but the other party has found a substitute for these five elements." 

When Xing Zhi clasped Shen Li's shoulders, the ever-present smile on his face subsided and he said firmly, 

"Shen Li, for what's coming next, I need you to listen carefully, because it is up to you to decide."

As soon as Shen Li's face became solemn, she listened to Xing Zhi speak.

"You and the other four substitutes have already replaced the original seal. This Powers of the Five Elements is far less powerful than the original Powers of the Five Elements that was born from heaven and earth, so this seal can only support the Ruins of Heavenly Poles, and cannot imprison the demon beasts within it. 

Therefore, right now the gate of the ruins is wide open. Although I have forcibly seal the exit with an enchantment barrier to prevent them from escaping, this is not a long-term solution. 

There's only one way to solve the problem with the demon beasts."

Shen Li gazed at Xing Zhi.

"What you're saying is to bury the demon beasts together with the Ruins of Heavenly Poles?"

Xing Zhi nodded.

"Right now, it's fortunate that the four seals that connect the Ruins of Heavenly Poles with the Demon Realm have all been replaced. If the ruins collapse, then it will not affect the Demon Realm. Right at this moment, the only one who will be affected..." 

He stretched out his fingertips and stroked Shen Li's cheek, 

"Is just you."

Shen Li was silent for a long time, but then she smiled.

"With these types of choices, you already know how I'm going to choose."

Xing Zhi's heart tightened and he withdrew his fingers.
