Settling Things Once and for All
The group traveled through the Hidden Moon Forest, a forest fraught with uncertainty and danger, where even high-level cultivators dared not cause any disturbance.
If the horde of Demon Beast is alerted, I'm afraid that apart from the powerful figures, few in the group will be able to leave alive.
The sect leaders had already promised Sang Ying that they would escort her safely out of the Hidden Moon Forest, so even though they were impatient, they dared not act rashly.
With the protection of powerful beings, the journey was relatively smooth until they were almost out of Hidden Moon Forest, at which point Su Fuyun couldn't wait to make his move.
She was a smart woman. Long before she heard about the beast tide and prepared to go to the Black Tortoise Realm, she had made a lot of preparations, including secretly preparing a lot of Beast-Luring Powder.
Now is the time to put this Beast-Luring Powder to good use.
There aren't many high-level Demon Beast on the outskirts of Hidden Moon Forest, but once the Beast-Luring Powder is scattered, it can not only cause a riot among the Demon Beast on the outskirts, but also affect the Demon Beast in the central area.
Su Fuyun didn't want the entire army to be wiped out; she just wanted Sang Ying dead. So all she needed to do was cause a riot among the surrounding Demon Beast, giving her the opportunity to strike.
Su Fuyun had a very pleasant idea in mind, but she didn't forget to ask the jade pendant again for confirmation, "Can you really make that thing belong to me?"
Even though Su Fuyun had no idea what Sang Ying had actually obtained, she still went to great lengths to snatch it away.
The jade pendant had no choice but to reply again, "Of course, as long as your junior sister is in danger, that thing will definitely appear. At that time, I will help you retrieve it, and you will once again possess Sang Ying's fortune and be cherished by everyone."
Memories of the past resurfaced in her mind. Su Fuyun clenched the small porcelain bottle in her hand. Ever since she obeyed the jade pendant's instructions and began to snatch what belonged to Sang Ying, it was too late to turn back!
There were also many low-level cultivators in the group who had been trapped for many years. They had just recovered and their limbs were still a little unresponsive, so everyone had to rest for a while after walking a short distance.
During the break, Su Fuyun first Beast-Luring Powder around the area where everyone was resting. After doing this, she approached Sang Ying, pretended to accidentally bump into her, and sprinkled the Beast-Luring Powder on her.
This thing is colorless and odorless, and only works on Demon Beast; it's an extremely insidious contraption. Su Fuyun used it with great care.
When Sang Ying looked over alertly, Su Fuyun smiled calmly at her, "Oh dear, Junior Sister Sang Ying, I'm so sorry. I lost my balance for a moment. Did I hurt you?"
"I'm not that fragile, Holy Maiden Su, there's no need to be so polite," Sang Ying replied indifferently.
"That's good." Su Fuyun smiled slightly. "I thought Junior Sister Sang Ying was going to blame me again."
Their conversation reached the ears of others. The people of the Black Tortoise Realm were unaware of their past, and upon learning that Su Fuyun had come to rescue people on her own initiative, they developed a slight liking for her.
Hearing their conversation, she couldn't help but interject, "Fuyun, don't worry. Someone as petite as you wouldn't possibly bump into Junior Sister Sang Ying!"
"Yes, you two are from the same place, yet you're being so polite."
The others wanted to say more, but Fu Shuangjiang suddenly stood up and said, "Have some water first. The elders gave you time to rest, not for you to joke around."
Reminded by Fu Shuangjiang, they quickly lowered their heads to drink water, no longer daring to speak carelessly.
Fu Shuangjiang's rejection was so obvious that Su Fuyun naturally sensed it as well.
She suppressed her anger, and the way she looked at Fu Shuangjiang changed.
Let him be arrogant for a while longer. Once I obtain Sang Ying's fortune, everyone here, including Fu Shuangjiang and Jiang Zhuoxue, will have to look at me with new respect!
She gave Sang Ying a strange look, then walked away with her chin raised.
As soon as Su Fuyun left, Jiang Zhuoxue approached her and said, "She came here specifically for this purpose; I'm afraid she has ulterior motives."
"I know." Sang Ying pushed the man away slightly, and seeing his suddenly cold expression, explained, "She spilled something on me, so don't come any closer, or you'll get it on you."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhuoxue's expression warmed up again.
"What do you plan to do with this person?" If it were in the past, Jiang Zhuoxue felt that anyone who dared to scheme against him would regret being born.
But now that he has spent more time with Sang Ying, he understands her personality and knows that she prefers to handle these matters herself.
Jiang Zhuoxue was willing to respect her thoughts, so naturally she wanted to hear Sang Ying's opinions more.
Sang Ying looked up at Su Fuyun's retreating figure. "It's time for us to put an end to this."
In the past, in the Immortal Spirit Realm, she had temporarily tolerated it for the sake of peace between the two sects, but now that she has arrived in the Black Tortoise Realm, Su Fuyun himself ran into the Hidden Moon Forest and even attacked her.
In that case, you can't blame her.
Sang Ying closed her eyes briefly, suppressing the trembling in her heart.
The riot didn't keep the two waiting long. Just as everyone had regrouped and were preparing to continue their journey, Su Fuyun's Beast-Luring Powder finally came into play.
Low growls came from all directions, and by the time everyone realized something was wrong, Demon Beast on the periphery had already swarmed towards them.
Looking over, all they could see were countless beast eyes, casting covetous glances at them.
"What's going on? Has this beast tide not ended yet?" someone exclaimed.
Fu Shuangjiang immediately stepped forward to refute, "No, this isn't a beast tide. These Demon Beast's eyes aren't red. They're clearly attracted by something."
Fu Shuangjiang wasn't stupid; he quickly figured out the key point. "Beast-Luring Powder —someone has scattered Beast-Luring Powder around here!"
He was absolutely certain of this.
The moment this guess was voiced, everyone erupted in chaos. "Who scattered the Beast-Luring Powder? Does he want us all to die in the forest?!"
"Could it be someone who has a grudge against us? But that would make him an easy target too, which would be a losing proposition!"
As they discussed the matter, they also fought off the Demon Beast.
Su Fuyun silently shrank behind them and carefully moved to Sang Ying's side, just like she had done back in the Qishan Secret Realm.
Although there were many Demon Beasts on the periphery, they posed no threat to the group of high-level cultivators. The powerful figures killed off a large group with just a few sword strikes. With them blocking the way, Sang Ying had no chance to use her skills.
Even with powerful beings charging ahead, they couldn't overcome the Demon Beast's yearning for the Beast-Luring Powder.
Unnoticed by the crowd, several smaller sixth-tier Demon Beast quietly slipped past the powerful beings' defensive network and headed straight for the sweetest creature in the crowd.
They secretly extended their fangs, waiting to get close enough to swallow the person whole!
Hiding in the shadows, Su Fuyun witnessed everything. She clenched her fists tightly, watching helplessly as the several Demon Beasts with the ability to conceal themselves appeared behind Sang Ying.
She reached out her hand again, and as those huge mouths with sharp teeth opened towards Sang Ying, she excitedly pushed her!
The slender figure that Su Fuyun had long loathed and envied finally descended upon the sharp teeth of several Demon Beasts.
"Fellow Sang Ying!" Fu Shuangjiang called out in alarm.
The powerful beings turned around abruptly, but it was too late to stop them. They could only watch as Sang Ying fell into the Demon Beast's mouth.
