The rag picking sister turned out to be a weapon refiner

"It's over." Hu Xingtong glanced beside him. Qingyue seemed to be gone. Only Yuchi and Zijing were guarding here.

"Where's Qingyue?"

"She and Lang Qi went out to find something to eat."

So, it seems there is nothing that cannot be said.

To be on the safe side, it’s better to set up a barrier.

Hu Xingtong raised his hand slightly, a faint light flickered at his fingertips, and a translucent barrier quietly and silently enveloped the small space where they were, isolating them from outside prying eyes and preventing any sound from leaking out.

"Zijing, are you...experiencing...are you going to leave?" Hu Xingtong spoke carefully, not sure if it was what he thought.

Yu Chi and Ling Xian looked at Zi Jing in surprise. They had been together for so many days, but they didn't notice anything unusual about Zi Jing.

Zi Jing's body trembled slightly, and her eyes dropped, as if she was hesitating about how to answer. After a moment of silence, she slowly raised her head, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

"Yes, I don't have much time left." Zi Jing's voice was low and heavy, yet remarkably clear. She took a deep breath and continued, "I've seen some scenes that, in your words, were a process of self-examination. I didn't understand why he would retreat from time to time before, but now I understand that this is something that cannot be refused."

This "he" refers to Si Xu. The three of them understood this but they still couldn't bear to let him go.

"So... did you succeed?" Yu Chi asked cautiously, with a hint of complicated expectation and reluctance in his heart.

Zijing nodded, not wanting to say anything but not knowing how to say it.

"Then...how do you plan to tell Qingyue?" Lingxian said, and suddenly felt some sympathy for Qingyue.

Zi Jing's brow furrowed slightly as she gazed off into the distance, as if imagining Qingyue's reaction upon hearing the news. After a long pause, she slowly spoke, "I don't know. Qingyue... has always been very dependent on me. I'm afraid she won't be able to handle it if I tell her."

Hu Xingtong sighed. She understood Zijing's difficulties and knew that Qingyue would know about this sooner or later.

"Zijing, we can't keep hiding this from her. Qingyue...she has the right to know the truth. Besides, we've been together for two lifetimes. What if...what if she's stronger than we think?"

Hu Xingtong felt a little guilty when she said this. Qingyue was her creation, and she knew best what kind of person that guy was. He was a pure toxic fan. But since she had said it, she should at least give Zijing some hope.

Yu Chi also nodded in agreement: "Yes, Zi Jing. We have been through so much together, Qingyue will definitely understand. We can tell her together, maybe it will inspire her to practice hard."

Qingyue: Thank you.

Ling Xian was silent for a moment, then suggested, "Perhaps, we can help Qingyue improve her strength first, and then tell her. That way, at least before she knows the truth, she might encounter the same situation as Zijing."

When Zijing heard Lingxian's words, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

If I do this, Qingyue might understand me and work harder, but Hu Xingtong only has Yuchi and Langqi on his side.

"I'm eager for you to go find my master as soon as possible, because I won't be able to stay here for long with my current strength. The Juying Banner has been refined. In a few days, I will go to Jita to find Zuoya, and then go to the battlefield. After the battlefield is settled, I will deal with some things. Maybe I will be able to find you soon, so you go first. Remember to say hello to my master for me when you get there." Hu Xingtong knew what Zi Jing was worried about. While comforting her, he also made arrangements for Yu Chi and Lang Qi in disguise.

After hearing her say this, the three demons felt much more relieved.

"Okay, it's decided. Before I leave, you guys work hard to improve your strength. Then we'll go to the Central Region together to find Si Xu and pave the way for you, Xingtong." Zi Jing smiled, feeling a lot more relieved.

So in the following time, Qingyue and Langqi didn't know what was wrong with these four people. Not only did they practice inward cultivation, but they also took themselves with them, so that the five demons reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Stage in just two years. With the intentional help of Hu Xingtong, they were exposed to the Questioning of the Heart almost at the same time.

It was also at that time that Zijing told Qingyue the truth, and it was on that day that Zijing dissipated his obsession and, like Sixu, dissipated his incarnation and disappeared before everyone's eyes.

It was almost time. Hu Xingtong knew that everyone had reached their deadline. Since she didn't like separation, she naturally didn't say anything reluctant. She could only wave goodbye to the monsters and said, "Wait for me in the Central Region. I'll come find you soon."

……

The war between immortals and demons has been going on for nearly twenty years. Both the immortals and the demons have reached the bottom of the pile. Now the battle is about to decide the outcome, and it is bound to be a fight to the death.

Hu Xingtong stood alone on the edge of the battlefield, looking at the sky in the distance that was torn apart by the power of the two tribes, with mixed feelings in his heart.

So-called two tribes are actually just the same tribe with two different ways of cultivation. There is no hatred between them, but it is really inappropriate for them to become like this because of one person's selfishness.

On the battlefield, spiritual light and demonic energy intertwined, the roar was deafening, and countless cultivators and demons teetered on the brink of life and death, with lives fading with every passing moment. Hu Xingtong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm the turmoil within her. She knew this battle was the final decisive factor, success or failure depended on it.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in my ears: "Xingtong, are you ready?"

Hu Xingtong suddenly opened her eyes and saw a man in a black brocade robe standing in front of her. It was Zuo Ya, her only ally on this trip.

"We're ready. You and I are now strong enough to cause a big scene." Hu Xingtong looked at Zuo Ya. This man finally gave up those clones and was willing to show his true face to him.

It’s no wonder that the male protagonist of the main CP she designed is so good-looking. His temperament is completely different from Lingxian and other handsome guys like Tan Luo. His evil, charming and cool look is exactly what the Demon Lord should look like in her mind.

"Let's go, each one fighting their own way and see who's the toughest!" Hu Xingtong and Zuoya exchanged a smile, then charged into the battlefield like two meteors. Hu Xingtong formed hand seals, and a dazzling stream of magic flew towards the demon camp, sending screams of agony everywhere it touched. Not to be outdone, Zuoya swung his magic weapon, surging with black demonic energy, repelling every oncoming monster.

"The wind rolls—the formation rises!"

Hu Xingtong formed seals with his hands, and the invisible wind around him condensed into a powerful tornado, destroying all the monsters in its path.

"Binding the spirit—raise the banner!"

On Zuoya's side, he directly sacrificed the Juying Banner in his hand and took away some of the fighting demons and some demons who were about to die. For a moment, the number of demon cultivators in the field was instantly reduced by half.

"It's Hu Xingtong! Hu Xingtong is here!" A disciple from the Immortal Sect noticed Hu Xingtong in the field and cheered.

At the same time, many people among the demons noticed Zuoya's existence and even clamored that Zuoya was a traitor.

Ye Nanhe, who was far away, was delighted to see Zuo Ya return. He walked quickly to Zuo Ya with the Zhaoyun Sword in his hand.

"Zou Ying, as the Demon Lord, you don't care about the lives of your people, causing suffering to the people, and colluding with monsters. You deserve to be put to death!" Zuo Ya pointed at Zuo Ying with the Juying Banner.

At the same time, the demonic energy in his body surged, directly drawing out the Demon Lord's Order from Zuo Ying.
