Mahasattva Sikong Zhan captured Red Flower Princess and brought her before Stone God Princess, bowing as he reported the completion of his mission.
Stone God Princess had left her mountain this time expressly to capture Red Flower Princess. She had seized a critical moment while Deng Yin was occupied elsewhere.
She dared not delay, either, for Deng Yin could arrive at any moment. Now that her quarry had been caught, she had to move her elsewhere immediately.
As for Red Flower Princess, Sikong Zhan's two hooks had caught her primordial spirit, leaving her unable to fly away or transform. Her heart instantly turned to dead ashes.
She knew that if Stone God Princess took her away, her fate would be unbearably grim.
Had she gained the upper hand and captured Stone God Princess instead, she would have made the other woman suffer just as terribly.
The good and evil volumes of the Blood God Scripture were irreconcilable beneath the same sky. Whenever they met, they fought savagely, and each would devour the other.
Only a cultivator with sufficient wisdom and magical power to reconcile them could ultimately cultivate both good and evil as the Lord of Stone God Palace had, neglecting neither.
Red Flower Princess's best possible outcome was to encounter Deng Yin directly, rather than be carried off by Stone God Princess.
In her despair, the one hope she still clung to was calling her father for help.
Yet the Old Demon of Iron City Mountain remained unresponsive, just as he always had, as though no such old demon existed in the world.
What she did not know was that the surest way to contact her father, or even persuade him to leave his mountain, was to gain the upper hand, capture Stone God Princess, devour good with evil,
