An Ling opened her eyes and let out a long sigh.

Wu Baiquan saw An Ling wake up and asked anxiously, "What took you so long? Did the broken stone hurt you?"

An Ling smiled and said, "It's okay. Senior has helped me a lot." She turned to look at Shi Tongming who seemed to have something to say, nodded at him, and said goodbye, "Mr. Shi, I will take my leave first. As for the matter we just discussed, I hope you can give me a clear answer."

Shi Tongming scratched his head and asked in confusion: "Master An, why are you leaving so soon? Aren't you going to stay for a meal? And my ancestor..."

"You can communicate with the senior yourself, but as for how much it is willing to say, I don't know."

Although Wu Baiquan was full of doubts, he still followed An Ling's instructions and pushed her out of the Shi family shop, leaving Shi Tongming alone and Shi Tou looking at each other in bewilderment.

……

"Junior sister, why didn't you explain it clearly to Shi Tongming just now? I think he still knows nothing." Wu Baiquan pushed An Ling down the street and stuffed a string of candied haws into her hand.

An Ling smiled helplessly while pinching the candied haws: "Some things cannot be said so quickly. You know, Mr. Shi knows nothing. He has no idea how important the magic stone is to himself."

"I think we don't need to fight them to death," Wu Baiquan said, "Daxuan is so big, I don't believe that only Shi Tongming can make a statue that can accommodate incense and faith."

"Without them, will the mountain spirits and wild monsters in other parts of Daxuan become useless?"

An Ling sighed, "Yes, there are definitely more than just them who can act as intermediaries, but we simply have no other choice. Do you remember the other arrangements made by the New Moon Immortal on the dragon vein?"

"Those thirty-three places with statues of gods?"

"Yes," An Ling continued, "We can reverse the situation. The configuration of Liyang City must be not much different from other places. If the magic stone is useless, then why did Chen Yangjiao go to so much trouble to snatch it from Shi Tongming? And it was placed in a secret room to perform some evil ritual."

"So the stone is the real owner?"

"uncertain."

An Ling looked up at the eaves in the distance. On the eaves stood densely packed palm-sized statues, which were very delicate. She retracted her gaze and continued to explain to Wu Baiquan: "Do you still remember the black liquid that enlightened the divine stone? Why is such an important thing handled by someone else?"

Wu Baiquan suddenly stopped and a terrible guess formed in his mind.

An Ling chuckled and said quietly, "That proves that the magic stone is useful to him, at least in Liyang City, but it is not indispensable."

"Because he has thirty-two more things like the sacred stone."

"That is to say, we still have to face thirty-two incense monsters with different abilities."

Wu Baiquan's face darkened. He touched the hilt of his sword and said coldly, "I'll go kill them."

"Brother, you're already too late." An Ling said with a smile, then looked up at Wu Baiquan's face which was filled with annoyance, anger, sadness and other mixed emotions, and asked again: "How do you feel now?"

"I killed a lot of people, I feel... guilty..." Wu Baiquan lowered his eyes and clenched his fists, "If I could be faster, could I have saved them?"

An Ling smiled and said, "What are you thinking? The mortals in those places are all fine, and you don't have to worry about those monsters causing trouble."

"Didn't you just wake up? Why do you look like everyone knows about it?" Wu Baiquan asked suspiciously.

"That's because I'm smart!" An Ling said.

"cut."

An Ling stopped smiling while she was ahead. It was really fun to tease her senior brother.

She explained: "Brother, I met other disciples who participated in the Immortal Sect Conference in the Shiwan Mountains."

"I didn't tell you before because I haven't recovered yet. Luckily, Ayimu is here..." An Ling didn't know what she was thinking about. Her originally bright temperament suddenly became gloomy, but it only lasted for a moment. Before Wu Baiquan could react, she returned to her original calm and wise appearance.

An Ling continued, "Senior Brother Li Feiling, Senior Brother Murong Ziqiu, as well as Elder Mu and Elder Guo, are all there. They... are doing pretty well."

Wu Baiquan was instantly excited. He had been wandering in the world with Mingjue and the other two for more than two months, hiding from place to place every day. It was really painful. Now he finally heard the news about his companions and wanted to rush over to find them immediately. An Ling saw Wu Baiquan's look and sighed deeply. She knew that Senior Brother Wu would have this reaction.

Wu Baiquan asked quickly: "Then what are we waiting for! Let's go find them and join them! Hey wait...you..."

An Ling smiled bitterly.

"Why don't you join them?"

Sure enough, this problem comes up again.

"Brother, you must not have a big reaction to what I am about to say." An Ling said. After getting Wu Baiquan's promise, she continued, "They took the cultivation pills to fight against the Futian Army, and this touched my bottom line, so I parted ways with them."

"Cultivation Pill? Such a familiar name..." Wu Baiquan thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Is it the pill that is said to improve cultivation? A friend from the Sky Sect asked me if I wanted one, and I thought it was weird. How can pie fall from the sky?"

An Ling sighed, "Not everyone can think like you. All the immortal sect disciples in that camp have taken cultivation pills."

Wu Baiquan was silent. He knew that if it was just an ordinary pill, even one that could accelerate growth, An Ling would not have such a big reaction.

"The cultivation pill is made from humans, and is also called a human pill. In the past, in Jiangning City, Ayimu gambled with me the lives of everyone in the city. The bet was to use everyone in the city to make human pills."

"In other words, they didn't abide by the bottom line and they were cannibalistic."

Wu Baiquan's body was shaking and he almost fell down, but fortunately he held onto An Ling's wheelchair. He shook his head in disbelief, but his throat was blocked and he couldn't utter a word.

An Ling continued: "But Brother, although they have taken the wrong path, their ambitions have not changed."

"I believe that they received the signal the moment the beam of light appeared."

"But... I don't believe it!" Wu Baiquan almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth. An Ling could faintly smell a hint of blood. She didn't look back at Wu Baiquan. The two continued to move forward in silence. After a while, Wu Baiquan finally spoke.

He said, "Once you get involved in something, there is no way to get rid of it in this life. I once worked for the Punishment Elder in the Demon Suppression Prison for a period of time. Do you know what the evil cultivators there are like?"

"Once they stop devouring souls, they will go insane and their bodies will rot. No matter if you are a Blood Demon Ancestor or a Heavenly Demon Venerable, you will all become a pile of rotten flesh and die in agony."

"It's because I've seen what happened to these people and I hate all evil practitioners, so I will never touch these things in my life!"

"But now you tell me that my family members have also embarked on this path?"

"An Ling, I... I can't help but hate them!"

"There is no way I can stop missing them..."
