Zashiki and Snow Woman

Jing Su Shi's face grew even colder when she saw the little girl's corpse being treated like a puppet and wantonly played with.

This little girl was also a direct descendant of the Jing Family, another beloved granddaughter of hers.

If not for this calamity, she should have, at the age of twelve, attempted Determining Destiny, awakened her Destiny Constitution, and entered the path of cultivation.

She should have had a brilliant and colorful life!

But all of this had been utterly destroyed!

She suffered disaster in life, and after death, she was still being humiliated!

Although Jing Su Shi did not speak, her heart was already filled with extreme rage.

This little girl had been dead for a long time. The reason her corpse could speak was entirely because the ghost child was manipulating it from behind.

And he was using the Jing Family little girl's corpse precisely to utilize the pull of her bloodline to search for any who had escaped.

However, he had not expected to find such a big fish so easily!

This old matriarch of the Jing Family, in her youth, was also a well-known cultivator in the Hun Zhou region, having caused quite a stir and earning the fierce title of Soul Manipulating Spider Mother.

Among the eighth-rank cultivators on the various islands of Hun Zhou, she could be considered a top-tier existence!

If not for her advanced age, depleted lifespan, and her cultivation and combat power having passed their peak.

The enemy would certainly have had to put in more effort to break through Crimson Pearl Island!

"Fu Ying! You wicked creature, how dare you use my Jing Family bloodline, the Destiny Hearth bloodline, to do such despicable things!"

"Do you really think this land of Hun Zhou can be trampled upon at your whim?"

Jing Su Shi's voice was low and hoarse, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth!

But the ghost child did not back down; instead, he laughed even more arrogantly:

"Old Matriarch, times have changed."

"The Governor of Hun Zhou unexpectedly perished, and Hun Zhou Island is preoccupied with its own affairs. In this world now, the strong are respected, and the weak can only be slaughtered at will."

"The former glory of your Jing and Su families is long gone. Just obediently accept death, lest I make a move and destroy your granddaughter's physical body."

This ghost child was named Fu Ying. He looked like a child, but in reality, he was also an eighth-rank cultivator.

He cultivated the Zashiki Warashi Diagram from the Hundred Ghost Night Parade Destiny Tome, a secret transmission of Qi Zhi Shi Island, and his strength was not to be underestimated.

Furthermore, he was not old and had abundant lifespan, making him a core combat force in this attack on Crimson Pearl Island.

At this moment, facing off against Jing Su Shi, a great battle was inevitable!

And while the two were speaking, Fu Ying had actually already begun to act!

He was seen holding the little girl's hand, while simultaneously using words to disturb the other party's mind.

At the same time, he used his own Destiny Constitution to activate his Destiny Essence, and through the little girl's corpse, unleashed a Blood Puppet Art.

This secret art could use the connection of bloodlines to secretly attack the opposite Soul Manipulating Spider Mother, subtly eroding her body with magic power and turning her into a flesh and blood puppet, truly unfathomable!

Under the effect of the secret art, Jing Su Shi's physical body gradually stiffened, progressively falling under Fu Ying's control, unable to resist.

Her knees were twisted bit by bit, and she was forced to kneel before the enemy!

Fu Ying was smug after successfully ambushing her!

This successful sneak attack on Crimson Pearl Island was a huge gain!

The resources and foundation of his own island were about to undergo a qualitative leap.

This was naturally very beneficial for Fu Ying's subsequent cultivation.

After taking down the Soul Manipulating Spider Mother, he had no more worries. He casually tossed the girl's corpse aside, walked up to Jing Su Shi, and said:

"Old Madam, where is your Soul Weaving Demon Spider?"

"I heard that your demon spider has been well-raised and is already at the Azure Wing peak level."

"In the Hun Zhou region, I am best at manipulating the physical body, and your demon spider is best at controlling the soul and spirit. This is quite complementary to my cultivation."

"Summon the demon spider and let me play with it!"

As he spoke, he continued to activate the Blood Puppet Art, controlling Jing Su Shi to fulfill his demands.

However, he was shocked to find that although Jing Su Shi's physical body was being manipulated by him at will, he could not affect her soul and will through her body at all.

The old woman in front of him was like an empty shell, not like a living being.

Suddenly, a rustling, strange sound echoed in Fu Ying's ears.

It was like a spider gnawing on a moth it had just caught in the dead of night.

Immediately after, a human voice sounded:

"I'm just old, not dead."

"Didn't your master tell you before he died not to step within three zhang of me?"

This voice was like an ice shard piercing Fu Ying's eardrum, sending a chill down his spine!

And inexplicably, he felt a slight tingling sensation on the top of his head, the tip of his tailbone, and the soles of his feet.

Immediately, a cool sensation spread from these three locations, flowing through the magic power in his body, and in an instant, it covered his entire body.

"You... what did you do to me?"

There was a hint of fear in Fu Ying's voice. He stared at Jing Su Shi with wide eyes, but only saw a strong sense of mockery and coldness in her eyes.

"If you dare to cause trouble on my Crimson Pearl Island, you naturally have to be prepared to die!"

"It's a pity that I didn't cherish myself when I was young, which led to my lifespan being overdrawn and me becoming so old!"

"I only have one strike left with this Soul Manipulation technique. If you run into it, just consider yourself unlucky!"

As Jing Su Shi spoke, a light blue magic power drifted out, like a spider's web, covering Fu Ying.

Then, a soul-extracting force was applied to his body.

"Ahhh!"

The ugly demon child only felt his soul being violently torn apart, as if suffering from ten thousand arrows piercing his heart, completely shattering his consciousness!

This Fu Ying, with his complete inheritance and deep foundation, had almost fully condensed the Zashiki Warashi Diagram Dharma Idol, reaching the perfected stage of the eighth-grade Dragon Elephant realm.

Yet, unexpectedly, before an old woman whose lifespan was nearing its end and who was controlled by the Blood Puppet Art, he completely overturned and lost his life!

All his cultivation, which had consumed countless resources, was also completely wasted!

After killing, Jing Su Shi's aura plummeted, as weak as the last flicker of a candle in the wind, completely depleted.

But she still struggled and crawled to her granddaughter's side, embracing her small corpse.

She gently stroked her precious granddaughter, waiting for the last bit of her lifespan to run out.

But the heavens were not kind; a heavy snow began to fall!

The wind and snow blurred her vision, and an extreme chill enveloped her body.

Jing Su Shi looked back at the island and saw a beautiful figure, completely clad in white, slowly walking towards her.

"Snow Woman Dharma Idol?"

Jing Su Shi's consciousness was nearing blurriness, but she also knew that another enemy had arrived nearby.

This wind and snow contained extremely deep freezing magical power, and her body was completely frozen stiff.

Knowing she was powerless to resist, she simply picked up her granddaughter by the waist.

Then, Jing Su Shi squeezed out the last trace of her Destiny Essence, burning all her remaining lifespan.

"Crack!"

She actually relied on her soul will to drive her stiff body, stubbornly standing up.

In this collision of spirit and flesh, her muscles, bones, blood, and flesh were torn and broken.

The last eighth-grade Dragon Elephant realm cultivator of Crimson Pearl Island died standing!

By the time the white figure reached her, Jing Su Shi's soul had been completely extinguished.

This long-renowned Soul Manipulating Spider Mother died on the shore of her own island.

Beside her, there were no relatives or friends to accompany her, only the howling ice and snow, as if composing a funeral song for her.
