The purpose of the Princess of Stone God's visit this time was very simple; she wanted to see Deng Yin, take him away, and live a good life with him thereafter.
Shi Feiyang disagreed. Deng Yin could not meet either of the two witches; otherwise, all previous efforts would be for naught, and he would ultimately return to his old path, even more tragically than in his previous life.
The Princess of Stone God wasn't too disappointed: "I knew it would be like this, I knew it would be the result."
Shi Feiyang said, "Cultivate well yourself, and in the future, ascend to the Demon Realm to find your father. Although you fulfilled your oath from years ago and were confined by the Demon Scripture, I believe with your divine skills and intelligence, you can surely find a way to solve it. If you really can't liberate yourself, I can help you."
The Princess of Stone God was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and smiled bitterly: "Why did True Master Shi release Ah Yin back then?"
Shi Feiyang did not answer.
The Princess of Stone God continued: "Chi You really wants to divert you from Central Earth, especially hoping now there could be a matter that could distract and restrain you. If I join forces with him, he would definitely be willing to help me get Ah Yin out."
Shi Feiyang had already thought of this when he heard her previous question: "Then you would be courting your own destruction, not only would you perish, Ah Yin would perish along with you because of your recklessness!"
"Then let us both perish together!" The Princess of Stone God's voice trembled slightly, "I haven't seen him for hundreds of years; all these years, whether in the Blood God Scripture or after coming out, I think of him all the time, every thought is of him! He calls you brother; I also call you big brother. Can you bear to see us separated forever, each in suffering? Don't you wish him well?"
Shi Feiyang pondered for a moment, choosing his words carefully: "It's not that I intentionally prevent you from being together; it's you yourselves who aren't suited. Being together means entangling each other, falling together..."
"No! We will live well together, for eternal life, forever together. We won't cause trouble for others. Brother Shi, you have cultivated the Demon Scripture; have you fallen because of the magic sacrificial refinement of divine demons? Righteous skill used in Demons is magic, magic used in righteousness is righteous skill. I have the determination and willpower to do well myself, Ah Yin does too..."
"Can you maintain this determination when Ah Yin thinks of other women?"
With one sentence, Shi Feiyang stumped the Princess of Stone God: "He...he..."
She wanted to say that Ah Yin would not think of any other woman except herself, but she knew this was impossible. A thousand years ago, three women entangled together; their grievances and love became a muddled account, and the events of that time were still vivid in memory.
In terms of time, Red Flower Princess met Deng Yin first. In terms of title, Shen Wugou was Deng Yin's legal wife. She felt that her relationship with Deng Yin was the best, but she also knew that Deng Yin wouldn't forget the other two women.
Shi Feiyang knew what she was thinking and added a finishing blow: "What you're thinking is to get him out of Tianpeng Mountain, so you two can be together forever. But know this, he will definitely go find Red Flower Princess out as well. He wants the three of you together. For you all, you are one good and one evil, like water and fire incompatible. For him, the goodness and evil cannot be one-sided; dual cultivation is necessary. Can you endure it?"
The Princess of Stone God suddenly stood up, her voice chill with murderous intent: "I shall go and eliminate that bitch now!"
Shi Feiyang smiled lightly: "The two of you are both manifestations of the Blood God Scripture, one is the Good Volume, the other is the Evil Book. You can't eliminate her, and she can't eliminate you. If eliminating casually could solve the problem, your father would have destroyed this scripture back then!"
The Princess of Stone God sat back down weakly, looking at Shi Feiyang: "You help me eliminate her!"
She pointed to Han'er: "This little girl has always been secretly in love with you; all the demon thoughts born in the Demon Realm are scenes of being with you."
Just one sentence turned Han'er's face beet red; she was dying to run away immediately but dared not, with a bit of expectation in her heart. She lowered her head and sneakily glanced at Shi Feiyang's reaction.
The Princess of Stone God said: "I have already imparted all the demon skills recorded in the Blood God Scripture's Good Volume to her; she has been well taught. You help me eliminate Red Flower, that bitch, and I will give her to you."
Shi Feiyang was somewhat amused yet without tears, he couldn't go and eliminate Red Flower Princess either, because once he did Deng Yin would still become demonized.
Back in the day, it was because Master Chang Mei killed Red Flower Princess; such a good senior brother, Deng Yin gritted his teeth in hatred for it, and Shi Feiyang would never wade into such murky waters.
The resolution Shi Feiyang arranged for Deng Yin was after going through a cycle of reincarnation, in this life, cultivate into the orthodox sect of the Mysterious Sect, and before his immortal law achieves great success and seeing Dao, completely isolate all external relations, preventing him from meeting the two witches.
Wait until I achieve "Seeing Dao" and then return to settle the karma with those two witches. By that time, I will be able to maintain my composure and not be tainted and fall into the Demon Path.
He explained his plan to the Princess of Stone God: "You've waited all these years, why the rush? You should go seek a place to cultivate in seclusion. Once Ah Yin has achieved Seeing Dao, even if you hide, I will have him find you, and then guide you to the Mysterious Sect's Orthodox Sect. Together, you can ascend to the Spiritual Space Immortal Realm, and in heaven, be together for eternity, isn't that wonderful?"
The Princess of Stone God sighed deeply and stood up in despair: "If that's the case, then farewell."
With a wave of her hand, she had Han'er, along with Yi Ding and Yi Zhen, leave as they had earlier.
Yi Ding and Yi Zhen kept sneaking glances at Shi Feiyang, their eyes filled with pleading and hope, like two little pups about to be taken away, begging for rescue.
Even Han'er hoped Shi Feiyang would speak up and allow her to stay.
A flash of purple and cyan light appeared in Shi Feiyang's eyes, and a faint purple-cyan light curtain suddenly blocked their path at the doorway.
A faint smile of triumph played at the corners of the Princess of Stone God's mouth, a cunning plan brilliantly executed.
Yi Ding and Yi Zhen had been captured by the Red Lotus Demon and brought back to the Red Lotus Demon Palace to serve as pages in the palace.
Such humiliation was foreign to the two young masters, who possessed Earth Immortal Cultivation. Though their mana was substantial, they began to resist.
Yet, the Red Lotus Demon was incredibly powerful, and with just a slight show of means, she had them to the point where they couldn't live or die, suffering intensely, and eventually completely tamed, obedient almost to an extreme. They did whatever the Red Lotus Demon ordered them to, even proactively exceeding expectations. Whenever the Red Lotus Demon glanced at them, they shivered in fear.
The Princess of Stone God borrowed them particularly for this instance, not simply for the sake of appearances.
Back when Shi Feiyang led the effort to suppress the Earth Fire in the South Sea, the Yi family had eagerly assisted. In the end, although the Yi family brought ruin upon themselves, nearly falling to total demise, Shi Feiyang couldn't simply ignore the Yi family brothers now that they had shown themselves and allow them to suffer under the demon's torment.
These two brothers, along with Han'er, were bound to be saved by Shi Feiyang. As long as he spoke up, the Princess of Stone God would hold the upper hand, able to negotiate with Shi Feiyang over the issue of Deng Yin.
Turning back, she looked at Shi Feiyang in surprise: "What is it? Did the big brother stop his sister-in-law from leaving because he had a special idea?"
She knew Shi Feiyang would ask her for people, so she deliberately shifted the conversation in another direction, waiting for Shi Feiyang to speak first.
Shi Feiyang, however, said: "I once had a Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword, which you took away. I've been wanting to get it back. It's not of much use to you, so return it to me."
The Princess of Stone God was stupefied; she never expected that instead of asking her for people, Shi Feiyang would ask her for the sword!
After her initial shock, she responded with a gentle smile: "That sword was taken by me, fair and square. As the big brother, you couldn't even keep an eye on your sword, so how could you have the nerve to ask it back from me?"
"That demon sword was something I personally refined, and you, my sister-in-law, outright snatched it. I didn't bicker about it and let you use it for so long, which is quite generous. Now that I want it back, you shouldn't play hard to get."
The Princess of Stone God replied: "You already have Nine Heavenly Demon Slaying Immortal Swords, why still begrudge mine? Moreover, it wasn't you who personally refined this sword; it was crafted by the Ghost King Xu Wan, so it never belonged to you. Whoever gets it, owns it."
Shi Feiyang also smiled faintly: "Back then, I was with the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor, the White Bone God, and little devil Xu Wan at the border of the Star Constellations Sea, refining the sword. In the end, the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor and I succeeded, while White Bone and Xu Wan failed. Since they failed, their primordial spirits were absorbed into the sword, so naturally, the aftermath should be managed by us. Moreover, after the sword was in my possession,
I put in a lot of effort to nourish and refine it, taming the sword spirit within. Saying it's my personally refined sword isn't out of question. But all this is the reasoning side of things. Based on that, you should return the sword to me. And if you don't think about reason, that's fine too. You say whoever gets it, owns it; well, that's valid, and soon enough, it will be in my possession, and then it will be mine. Just, don't be upset at that time."
"You!" The Princess of Stone God discovered she couldn't reason with Shi Feiyang. Engaging in combat, though she had made progress in Demon Skills over the years, greatly increasing her mana, and obtained Jiu Panpo's Netherworld Blood River and the Six Great Hells techniques, the probability of her winning against Shi Feiyang was still low. If a full-blown fight erupted in this densely populated Capital, causing heavy casualties, it might provoke the opposite side, leading to her being trapped in a Demon Scripture.
"That sword, I've nurtured for years; it follows my thoughts and commands far fiercely. Big brother could gift it to little sister! As gratitude, I'll give you these three brats, particularly this little girl. I've taught her all the skills from the Good Volume of 'Blood God Scripture.' If you engage in Dual Cultivation with her, not only will it benefit both parties, exponentially increasing your mana, but the varied enjoyments in the cultivation process are also akin to supreme bliss!"
