A servant came to report that Elder Lord Zhao from the Demon King's Hall had surrounded the Herb Pavilion, claiming he was there to seize their assets.
In a hurry, they sought me out, asking what to do since they couldn't find the Second Lady.
I wasn't surprised by this turn of events.
The reason the Herb Pavilion was being targeted wasn't solely due to the treachery of a villain; it was also because of the Vast Wealth that Second Sister had painstakingly accumulated.
She had used the spirit stones she saved to raise spirit beasts and forge Divine Weapons.
The spirit beasts were sent to the Demon King's residence, while the Divine Weapons were gifted to the Demon King's trusted aides.
With these Divine Weapons, the Demon King successfully usurped power and became the new Heavenly Emperor.
And I could only recall in my dreams the appearance of Father and Brother before they set out for battle.
They had sworn to me that this time, they would return victorious.
I still remember that before leaving, my father gifted me an Eight Treasures Gold Hairpin, which he had nurtured with his spiritual energy for five hundred years.
He said it was a relic of his mother and urged me to keep it safe.
If he hadn't died on the battlefield, he would have witnessed my marriage to Dongfang Yan and our life together with a son and daughter, living happily ever after.
Thinking of Father and Brother made my eyes sting with tears.
I clenched my fists, my nails digging deeply into my flesh.
I cannot let the tragedy from my dreams come true.
I cannot allow Father and Brother to die in vain.
I will avenge Father and Brother, and I will not let the Demon King succeed!
I had been to Murong Xue's chamber many times before.
I already knew that there was a mechanism hidden in her room that could open a secret compartment.
As I pressed the mechanism on the vanity, a wall slowly opened.
Murong Xue was sitting inside.
Her eyes were filled with despair and reluctance.
With a tight fist, she gritted her teeth and said, "Why should the spirit stones and Celestial Artifact I worked so hard to save be taken away by Xing Bin?"
Xing Bin was the Eldest Son of the head of the Demon King's Hall and Law Hall.
He was also Murong Xue's first love.
At first, she thought Xing Bin was a gentleman from a good family; she opened her heart to him and even revealed the location where she hid her spirit stones and Celestial Artifact.
But I never expected that Xing Bin was an undercover agent sent by the Demon King.
He approached Murong Xue merely to discover the hiding places of the Spirit Stones and the Celestial Artifacts.
Now, the people from the Law Hall could quickly find this place, thanks to Xing Bin's efforts.
Murong Xue laughed despairingly, "I was so foolish to believe his nonsense!"
I frowned in displeasure, walked over, and knocked her unconscious.
In front of me, the warehouse was filled to the brim with Spirit Stones and Celestial Artifacts.
These were the treasures coveted by the Demon King.
I gazed at these items brimming with immense spiritual energy and took a deep breath.
No matter what, I couldn't let them fall into the hands of the Demon King!
I took out my Heaven and Earth Bag and began to collect these treasures.
A year ago, I had a dream.
In that dream, someone guided me to a paradise.
He stood above the colorful clouds and took down a piece of Spirit Jade.
After waking from the dream, I indeed found the Spirit Jade on the beam of the attic.
From that moment on, I firmly believed that everything that happened in the dream was real.
I learned from the dream that my father and elder brother were framed by the Demon King, and that the Herb Pavilion was about to be raided.
I took out the Spirit Jade.
I had always felt that this was not an ordinary Spirit Jade.
However, I did not know what its true purpose was.
Until one day, when I accidentally scraped my skin and a drop of blood fell onto the Spirit Jade.
Suddenly, the Spirit Jade emitted a burst of purple spiritual light that enveloped me.
As the light dissipated, I was astonished to find myself in a room.
The walls of the room were not made of wood, but of Blood Crystal!
It is important to note that not only is Blood Crystal extremely rare on the Thirty-Six Islands, but it is also a precious material throughout the Fairy Spirit Continent.
I immediately realized that this room was extraordinary.
