At that moment, a beam of light known as the Seven-Colored Auspicious Light rose into the air. With a sigh of sorrow, the voice of the Qilin echoed, "This is the Low-Level Dimension; come back with me!"
"Impossible! I want this Low-Level Dimension to accompany my body in death!" Zhao's voice was filled with piercing hatred.
"Sigh! Stubborn and Unyielding, you have clung to the power of the Ghost Car, splitting your life into countless Shikigami just to survive. You sold out your husband to live; you deserve this calamity. Now, return with me; there is a way back. If not, you will be reduced to ashes and your soul scattered!" The Qilin's voice resonated within the Auspicious Cloud.
"Get lost!" The dark clouds around Tao transformed into a sharp sword aimed at the Auspicious Cloud. At the same time, the Mirror Flower Mirror and Beauty Fan—two treasures that could create illusions and attract spirits—flew into Zhao's hands, preparing to attack the Auspicious Cloud.
At that moment, a long sigh emerged from within the Auspicious Cloud: "Although you have wronged Brother Pangu, and I look down upon you all, I thought after all these years on Earth we were at least neighbors. I never expected your heart to be so venomous! Guardian, what are you waiting for? Make your move!"
Just as Zhao was about to retort, in that instant, a crimson Talisman was affixed to her already lifeless body. The Yellow Talisman was soaked in fresh blood, drawn by Xiao Yefeng during their conversation. The talisman was placed on her forehead while the Bagua Mirror was tossed onto her head by Xiao Yefeng.
Using the speed granted by the still-active Beast Transformation Form, Xiao Yefeng plunged the Yin-Yang Sword into the Yellow Talisman. The sword pierced through it and struck Zhao's head, instantly igniting into a ghostly blue flame. Zhao's corpse collapsed as her spirit turned to ash within the flames. Gradually, the Auspicious Cloud drifted away from everyone's sight with a long sigh before vanishing completely.
Only Xiao Yefeng understood that the Qilin had departed. That sigh might have been an expression of sorrow for failing to understand Zhao or perhaps a lament for being used by a friend. It could also reflect the sadness of having one's heart illuminated by the moon while that same moon shines upon a gutter.
Zhao's corpse remained behind, her spirit extinguished. This Talisman had been left in Xiao Yefeng's mind by the Qilin; thus, he had to draw it on-site. No one knew that this Talisman required the blood of a Guardian to be inscribed and needed nearly half of their essence. At this moment, Xiao Yefeng was utterly exhausted, but thankfully, the battle had ended!
Even Xiao Yefeng himself did not realize that as he killed Zhao, his Symbol Fire had been witnessed live by those from Perfect World who had rushed over. Especially the leader of their group—upon seeing Xiao Yefeng's appearance, he nearly ground his teeth in frustration and immediately called Master.
After relaying everything, Master ordered him to abandon the map of Wa Country and return immediately without confronting Xiao Yefeng directly! Though reluctant, the leader commanded a retreat. Standing atop the aircraft with his clothes flapping in the wind obscuring his figure, this person appeared under Liao Kong’s gaze—one of the three existing young masters known as Mie, who had intricate ties with both Xiao Yefeng and Liu Yiyi: Lu Zhan!
From his aura, he too had entered a higher realm. However, thinking he had closed the distance between them upon witnessing Xiao Yefeng slay Zhao with one strike and seeing Xiao Yefeng now transformed with a tail in his Beast Transformation Form made Lu Zhan feel powerless once again and choose to retreat. To get closer to Xiao Yefeng, he opted to accept ancient beast genes and achieved an initial fusion level of forty percent; under Chaos Energy infusion, he successfully completed sixty percent fusion.
He thought that combining these would allow him to catch up with Xiao Yefeng’s level but was once again met with harsh reality. Lu Zhan's heart brimmed with unwillingness as he realized that retreating now meant it would be even harder to surpass him in the future!
He had already made up his mind. After returning, he would accept the latest potion. Lu Zhan stood on the plane heading back, having set a firm goal for himself: to survive the side effects of the potion, humiliate Liu Yiyi in front of Xiao Yefeng, and then behead Xiao Yefeng, turning his head into a trophy!
He was unaware that he had fallen into madness, nor did he realize that his actions had already become part of a plan orchestrated by Master and the divine, even a trap that had been laid long ago.
Xiao Yefeng was also oblivious to the fact that his use of the talisman left behind by Qilin to eliminate Zhao had actually frightened off the formidable Perfect World. Perhaps it was just a coincidence, but this coincidence saved the lives of most soldiers present.
The departure of Qilin left everyone astonished. Mo Fei and Sophia were unaware of what the two had discussed, but seeing Qilin vanish and hearing the sounds, they had already guessed some of it.
What followed was straightforward. The Demon Tower was completely destroyed due to Zhao's death. In this battle, Xiao Yefeng's old acquaintances Kazama Tadao and Sakai Tomokazu both perished during Zhao's absorption of Shikigami. Of course, their deaths were directly caused by Mo Fei and Sophia, but the true reason for their demise was Zhao suddenly retracting Shikigami.
Zhao's death meant that all Shikigami affiliated with the Demon Tower vanished. Xiao Yefeng held out at the Demon Tower until dawn, as the Shikigami drifting in the air were gradually absorbed by Yin Gate. It was certain that Yin Si would have more work to do. In this night raid, seventy percent of the Onmyoji affiliated with the Demon Tower died from suddenly losing Shikigami and being slaughtered; nearly thirty percent were captured, while most of the ninjas associated with the Demon Tower had already fled.
Pursuing them would yield little results since this was Wa Country, their territory. They could hide if they wished; how could people from Huaxia find them? But it didn't matter anymore. In this battle, the king of the Demon Tower, Zhao, was utterly defeated; its master Abe Rain died in sacrifice, while his sons Luo Yu, Xinyu, and Ren Yu were all killed in this conflict. As for Yi Yu, he had already been captured. From now on, the Demon Tower would collapse, and Wa Country's greatest power would vanish without a trace!
After everything was done, Xiao Yefeng and his companions had already left Huaxia, taking along the unconscious Li Ji. At that moment, the emperor of Wa Country had just learned at dawn about the destruction of the Demon Tower. He hurriedly arrived only to find that last night's magnificent Demon Tower now lay in ruins as if struck by lightning—bodies scattered everywhere with no traces indicating who was responsible. He could only seal off information about it.
Soon after, two invitations appeared before him: one from Huaxia, clearly inviting Wa Country to join an organization led by the Metaphysics Society to counter Perfect World; the other came from Perfect World itself—a letter with very few words.
"Submit to us or face annihilation!" The emperor spoke each word slowly.
At this moment, a man in his thirties beside him said, "Father! The ones who destroyed Demon Tower must be those from Huaxia. They have long-standing grievances with us; our hatred cannot be washed away. If we submit to them, we will surely be oppressed. Let’s choose Perfect World!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's right hand swung sharply across his cheek. The crisp sound echoed as the man stumbled back in shock from the sudden slap!
"Are you foolish? Huaxia is a Lion; Perfect World is merely wolves. The Lion may devour us but will not exploit us; however, Perfect World will drain us dry and then consume us! Last night's events were undoubtedly orchestrated by Huaxia! But between these two invitations, we can only choose Huaxia because we..." Before he could finish his sentence, a sharp dagger plunged into his back and pierced through his chest.
Blood flowed down the luxurious golden robe, each drop of warm blood dripping from the Blade. The Emperor turned, and a figure appeared out of nowhere, coldly holding a short knife and staring at him.
"Koga Style's Koga Zangetsu, why are you—" The Emperor began to speak, but was abruptly kicked away by the ninja-clad Koga Zangetsu. In an instant, the short knife was drawn, and with that movement, the Emperor lost all strength and collapsed to the ground. Feeling the ebbing of his life, he looked at his son’s indifferent face and finally understood!
"Retribution! Retribution! The scene from fifty years ago has appeared once more!" In his mind, the Emperor no longer saw his son's face but rather the same position and events from fifty years prior.
Fifty years ago, he had killed his father to seize the throne. At that time, his aged father lay on the ground looking at him with the same cold gaze. Now it was being reflected back at him by the son he had favored most. He no longer considered why his son was killing him; it wasn't due to a lack of time for contemplation but rather because he didn't want to think about it. Was patricide and usurpation truly the way of succession for the Imperial line of Wa Country?
With a hint of a relieved smile, the Emperor fell. Meanwhile, the slightly flushed Heroic Spirit stepped forward to his dying father, reached out, and removed the crown from his head. Then he declared, "Summon everyone! The Emperor has passed due to excessive guilt over the Demon Tower's condemnation and heart failure. In his final moments, he appointed me, Heroic Spirit, as the next Emperor of Wa Country."
"Koga Zangetsu! Do you understand what you are doing?" asked the Heroic Spirit.
Putting away the bloodied short knife, Koga Zangetsu replied, "Yes! I assure you that when the cabinet ministers enter the court in two hours, there will be no dissenting voices!"
After several attendants dragged away the old Emperor's Shikigami, a deity clad in white and wearing a mask emerged from behind a screen. Upon seeing this divine figure, the Heroic Spirit respectfully said, "My lord! I, Heroic Spirit, will lead a new Wa Country to fully support any decisions made by Perfect World! From now on, Wa Country's research team will unconditionally obey your commands!"
"You are an ambitious person; good! I like that! Soon a research team will arrive in Wa Country. We are very interested in your perverse research over these years!" With that, the deity turned and left.
From this moment on, Wa Country, which had opposed Huaxia for many years, finally revealed its wolfish ambitions. With the ascension of the Heroic Spirit, Wa Country's cabinet ministers underwent a baptism of blood. Perfect World officially intervened in internal affairs, turning Wa Country into a colony. A fully genetically engineered nation had begun its curtain rise from this moment onward!
