"This?" Xiaohuo looked up and asked Lan Mei.

"It must have been overstretched too."

Zi Xiao picked up Dugu Qianye and said, "Let’s leave this place first."

"Okay," Xiaohuo and the others agreed. Without Huagui, and after having just lost the majority of its people, the Divine Temple was left with only a few Hall Masters. They were no match for Mo Zhenting and his people.

Upon seeing Zi Xiao leave, Qie Yue said, "Damn, you’re just going to leave like that?"

"You take care of the aftermath. I’ll come back after it’s finished," Zi Xiao replied, not looking back as he carried Dugu Qianye away. It was too disgusting here, and it would affect her resting.

The people of the Divine Temple were quickly exterminated. The Divine Master, seeing people closing in, said, "If you want my life, try again next time."

With that, she began to form seals with her hands, planning to return to her own realm.

"Oh right," Zi Xiao suddenly stopped and said, "The Divine Stone was cracked by me in the middle, so..." Before Zi Xiao could finish speaking, the Divine Stone shattered.

"So, you can’t go back," Zi Xiao finished speaking, then left the ruins while carrying Dugu Qianye.

The Divine Master looked at the shattered Divine Stone, knowing she had been tricked again. Facing the approaching people, she said, "You dare?"

"You old witch, let’s see if we dare. Since we’ve cut off your way back, naturally, we don’t want you to return. Elders, let’s see her off," they responded.

Zi Xiao took Dugu Qianye to a nearby island and found a house to lay her down. At that time, Dugu Qianye’s complexion was terrible: sometimes pale as death, sometimes flushed red, and sometimes half pale, half red as a cooked shrimp, causing Xiaohuo and the other beasts to grow increasingly anxious. Little Baiqiu, lying in Xiaohuo’s arms, was also unconscious.

"What on earth is wrong with the master?" Liehuo tried to touch Dugu Qianye with his paw but was startled by her high body temperature.

"Master, master," Xiaoyin and the others circled around Dugu Qianye, unsure of what to do.

"Don’t touch her," Zi Xiao went out to give some instructions and upon returning, saw Xiaoyin and the others trying to shake Dugu Qianye with their paws and quickly stopped them.

"Why?"

"Her body is full of excess Phantom Power, which is running rampant throughout her. So right now, her body is incredibly weak, and it’s very easy for her to be overtaken by the power. She needs to control those Phantom Powers herself; any slight disturbance from the outside could ruin her efforts," Zi Xiao explained.

Upon hearing Zi Xiao’s words, Xiaoyin and the others, frightened, quickly withdrew their paws. It wasn’t so much that they trusted Zi Xiao, but they wouldn’t do anything that could potentially hurt Dugu Qianye.

Before long, Mo Zhenting and his people arrived. Seeing Dugu Qianye lying on the bed, they were all extremely anxious.

"How is the girl doing?" Youwu paced back and forth around Dugu Qianye’s bed, looking at Weng Yuzi, who was diagnosing Dugu Qianye, and asked worriedly, "She looks so pained. Isn’t there anything we can do to help her?"

"If it were a small amount of Phantom Power, it would be manageable. But, there’s too much inside her now; even ’surge’ is an understatement. Any normal person would have exploded and died by now," Weng Yuzi glanced at Youwu and said, "But it seems like there’s something in her absorbing a lot of it, so she hasn’t exploded. There’s nothing we can do now; it’s all up to her. She must sort out the Phantom Power within her; if she does, this great crisis could turn to a great fortune."

"And if she doesn’t?"

"If not, she might never wake up," Weng Yuzi stood from the bed and said, "If she can’t control it well and the Phantom Power continues to run rampant, an explosion is also possible."

"That serious?!" Youwu was startled.

"Is there really no way at all?" Mo Zhenting asked from the side.

"I’ve said it, it’s up to her," Weng Yuzi said. "She has been kind to me, if there was a way, wouldn’t I save her?"

After Weng Yuzi finished speaking, he turned and left the room, leaving the Mo brothers and a group of Phantom Beasts in silence inside the house.

In the courtyard, Zi Xiao, Hei Zi, and Qie Yue sat together, with Qie Yue and Hei Zi telling Zi Xiao about what had happened after he and Dugu Qianye had left.

"What about those two?" Zi Xiao asked.

"They’re dead," Qie Yue said. "Shen Xingzong was wiped out by our people, and the old witch was blasted to bits by the Mo brothers."

"Oh?"

"They knew that Baili Xie was injured, and with their family’s protective nature, how could the mastermind expect a good end? It’s just that what was destroyed was merely a doppelganger. Besides, you deserve some credit, too. If you hadn’t tampered with that Divine Stone you found, preventing her from returning, she wouldn’t even have had the chance to escape. Heh, you truly are the mastermind!"

"How many people are left in the Divine Temple?" Zi Xiao continued to ask.

"Those who took the Light Star Grass Elixir have been drained into mummies, the rest are those we’ve given the antidote to," Qie Yue replied.

"So many people turned into mummies, just thinking about it now makes me sick. I bet I won’t be able to eat for a month," Hei Zi said with a disgusted expression on his face, thinking of the city filled with mummies.

"They’re all dead. There won’t be a Divine Temple on the Xuanyue Continent ever again," Zi Xiao reflected.

"Yeah, we originally set up the Secret Pavilion to deal with the Divine Temple, now that it’s gone, what are we supposed to do now?" Qie Yue said somewhat boredly.

"We do what we have to do. But the brothers can take fewer missions and spend more time cultivating now," Hei Zi said. "Oh by the way, Baili Xie says even though we didn’t help her find the person, we provided information, so the deal still counts. Hence, she gave us the rest of the reward."

Having said that, he took out a dozen Jade Bottles from his Space Ring.

Zi Xiao picked up a Jade Bottle and flipped it in his hand, saying, "Qie Yue, not bad, you know how to do business."

The words from Zi Xiao sent a shiver down Qie Yue’s spine, and he quickly said, "I was just joking with her, just joking."

"Hmph, I’ll let it slide this time. Distribute these Elixirs," Zi Xiao said and stood up to leave.

"Where are you going?" Qie Yue asked.

"To see her," Zi Xiao said, leaving a silhouette for the two of them.

Qie Yue and Hei Zi rolled their eyes at Zi Xiao in unison. Qie Yue asked in wonder, "You tell me, he hasn’t known that girl for long, right? But it seems like he took quite a liking to her the moment he saw her. Really makes me doubt if he’s the same guy who’s disgusted by women at first sight?"

"I’m curious, too. Could this really be what others call ’monkey dung’?" Hei Zi also showed a puzzled face.

"But that girl doesn’t seem that into him, haha, it looks like we’ve got a good show to watch," Qie Yue said with a laugh, his words dripping with malicious glee.

"Who asked him to come bully and exploit us? It’s his turn to suffer a bit this time," Hei Zi also laughed sinisterly. "Maybe we can even meddle a little."

"Count me in," a voice came from above the pavilion. Unbeknownst to them, Ci Hun had arrived above and was hanging upside down, talking to the people below.
