Mu Huai and Ming Shu dealt with the evil spirit king in secret.
There was no fierce fighting of three hundred rounds, and there was no blood or tears. It was settled quietly.
Not even a single little spirit was startled.
The evil spirit king was taken out. But there was still a troublesome burden:
The prince.
"Uncle, what about wiping his memories?" Ming Shu made a suggestion. It wouldn't be a good thing for him to be trapped in the past.
He would definitely hinder me from eating!
At first, if she'd known that the prince would become so stubborn and evil that he'd cause so much trouble and even release the evil spirits, she would never have told him Shen Ci was gone.
"You do it." Mu Huai gestured to Ming Shu.
Ming Shu then stepped forward and stared at the prince, whose hair was now totally white. In the end, however, she didn't do anything.
"Don't have the heart to do so?"
"No." Ming Shu touched her stomach. "I'm too hungry and I have to go eat something to replenish my energy."
As she was saying this, Ming Shu got up and left determinedly.
And Ming Shu also didn't go back to destroy the memories of the prince when she finished eating. She seemed to have forgotten this matter and just sat near the battlefield, looking around casually.
Mu Huai took the captured spirit king to the battlefield and worked with the master to deal with Huo Hu, an important subordinate of the evil spirit king, as well.
Sensing that something had gone wrong, the master's senior brother, poisoned by hatred, began to crazily attack the master and Mu Huai.
And finally, he and the master perished together.
As for Cheng Jinyun, after the death of the master's senior brother, her body showed odd changes. First, her whole person became as thin as a skeleton; then her limbs began to twitch violently as if she was experiencing the most terrible pain in the world.
...
She stared tightly at Ming Shu, who was sitting in the distance alone.
Why?! Why was she put to the same miserable end as in her previous life?!
WHY!
This is not right!
Now that the evil spirit king was gone and Huo Hu was also dead, the remaining evil spirits lost morale as well as direction. It became much easier for the Heavenly Temple to finish them off.
With no passion for fighting, the evil spirits retreated to the place where they had been suppressed. The Heavenly Temple chased after them closely.
The evil spirits then were too tired to escape, and they decided to die together with the humans.
The Dragon Root collapsed. But what made the evil spirits angry and speechless was that they weren't able to die with the humans; instead, something powerful seemed to have been opened up by them. The entire Dragon Root began to rise, and splendid palaces began to appear in the mountains and forests one after another.
When the golden palaces appeared, Mu Huai was the first to notice the world was different. In the past, there was only some weak qi in the air, but now the qi was quite rich.
