Even hybrid monsters have their day

She didn't know what Miao Renfeng would do after learning the truth, but she felt that Yin Qianze definitely hoped that her actions would be forgiven by Miao Renfeng, rather than letting such a beautiful misunderstanding continue.

Miao Renfeng stared blankly at Yin Qianze's statue for a long time before letting out a long sigh, "So that's how it is..."

Finally, turning to Geng Miaowan, he said, "Miss Geng, I hope you won't mention this matter to anyone else." Seeing her puzzled look, he continued, "Since it has already happened, and Uncle Yin finally realized his mistake and made amends with his life, I think we should leave it at that..."

Geng Miaowan looked at Miao Renfeng with admiration in her eyes; such magnanimity was rare in this world.

After breaking up with Miao Renfeng, Geng Miaowan returned to the place he had arranged for her. As soon as she entered the house and made sure no one was around, she couldn't wait to open the box that Zuo Lengdan had left for her.

When the contents of the box were revealed to her, she felt that the word "shock" was no longer sufficient to describe her feelings. Even Xu Ruwen and Huangfu Aohan were filled with disbelief, almost speechless.

Geng Miaowan reached out and picked up the small, grayish-brown stone that had been sitting at the bottom of the box. She examined it carefully from all angles. "This is the Tianji Stone?"

These are clearly no different from the stones in her storage ring.

"This thing looks very familiar..." Everyone present who heard this knew what Xu Ruwen was referring to.

Huangfu Aohan said, "Girl, take out those broken stones from your ring and take a look."

Upon hearing this, Geng Miaowan seemed to remember something and quickly opened her storage ring, emptying its contents. The storage ring was very clean; apart from a few stones, there was practically nothing else inside.

Soon, the six stones in the storage ring were placed together with the one left by Zuo Lengdan. Although they were slightly different in size and shape, they looked exactly the same, without the slightest difference.

"So... these few little broken stones of yours are actually also Tianji Stones?" Xu Ruwen came to this conclusion after comparing them for a long time.

What did those people in the underworld say about the Heavenly Stone? They said it was broken off from the life force of Mount Buzhou, the very essence of Mount Buzhou's immortal roots. How incredibly prestigious it sounds! It's practically a rare and unparalleled treasure.

Xu Ruwen still couldn't equate these few small, broken stones with the vitality of Buzhou Mountain, but the situation before him clearly told him that unless Zuo Lengdan's box had been switched, these few small, broken stones were undoubtedly Tianji Stones.

Geng Miaowan was also speechless. Judging from the accents of those people from the Underworld, there must be more than just one or two pieces of Tianji Stone. She already had seven pieces, but how many pieces of Tianji Stone had shattered from the life force?

If there are many, where are the rest, and where should we look for them...?

Qin Qing said that only she could restore the vitality of Buzhou Mountain, but she had no idea how to use these small broken stones. Could she just press them back onto the vitality?

She couldn't help but wonder if there was some mistake, or if she was actually not the one who could restore life.

And then there's the legendary god, Dongfang Liancheng. If she could find him, perhaps she could get the method to restore her life force from him. But where could she find him?

Early the next morning, a crowd gathered in front of the main hall of the Green Mountain Sect. Several Green Mountain Sect disciples lay neatly laid out there. Beside the corpses, a middle-aged man in his thirties knelt, weeping with his head bowed.

When Geng Miaowan arrived after hearing the news, the body had already been taken away. Miao Renfeng was in the main hall questioning the disciple about the incident. Seeing Geng Miaowan appear outside the hall, he gestured for her to come in.

Geng Miaowan quietly entered the hall and sat down not far from the two mountains. The disciple had just finished recounting how they were attacked.

"That's how I escaped this calamity..." the disciple said, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Then do you know what attacked you?"

"I...I don't know either. The demons treated her with extreme respect, as if she were of a very high status."

Miao Renfeng nodded, a serious expression on his face.

Since driving the demons out of the Green Mountain Sect, the demons seem to have become wary of the sect's protective formations. Although they have frequently attacked human towns over the past three hundred years, they have never been active near the Green Mountain Sect.

The disciples of the Green Mountain Sect have been attacked by the demons not far from Green Mountain. Could it be that, as the disciple in front of us said, the demons and monsters are about to make a big move?

"Alright, you should go back and rest now. If you remember any other clues, come and tell me immediately."

"Yes." The disciple bowed respectfully to him, then turned and left.

However, he had only taken two steps when he suddenly stopped, staring in horror at Geng Miaowan sitting not far away. "You...you demon, I will avenge my senior brother!"

As he shouted, he drew his sword, recited an incantation, and charged at Geng Miaowan. None of the people present expected him to suddenly attack Geng Miaowan. By the time they came to their senses, the disciple had already been subdued by Geng Miaowan, his hands clasped behind his back.

Miao Renfeng's expression turned cold as he said to the disciple, "Shufeng, you mustn't be rude. Miss Geng is my honored guest."

"Sect Leader, she's the demon leader who attacked our fellow disciples!" Li Shufeng exclaimed.

The people in the main hall all showed surprise at the same time. Ershan quickly stepped forward and asked, "Shufeng, you can't just say things like that. Did you see it carefully?"

"Uncle-Master, why don't you even believe me?" Li Shufeng was very anxious about their distrust, fearing that they would be bewitched by this demon and put the Green Mountain Sect in danger.

Ershan hesitated for a moment. He knew Li Shufeng well; he was clever, but he would never do anything out of line when it came to important matters. Since he said so, there must be something to it.

Unexpectedly, the scene of Qiu Pi protecting Geng Miaowan reappeared in his mind, and he even recalled Qiu Pi's words: Geng Miaowan is the daughter of the Demon Emperor. (To be continued.)
