Han'er unleashed her stubbornness again, defiantly thinking that since Shi Feiyang didn't like her, he shouldn't care about her anymore—whatever she did had nothing to do with him.

Such a rebellious and willful young girl would be a headache for anyone.

She kept wanting to leave, but Shi Feiyang naturally wouldn't just let her go. "If you really want to leave, I won't stop you, but since you're here, let's have a meal together before you go."

Subjectively, Han'er didn't really want to leave. She hoped Shi Feiyang would keep her by his side, and objectively, she couldn't go either, so she reluctantly stayed.

Shi Feiyang let her sit where the Princess of Stone God had sat earlier. She didn't dare; although the Princess had never abused her, the methods she displayed struck fear deep into her bones. Even in the absence of the Princess, she didn't dare overstep in the slightest.

Not wanting to force her, Shi Feiyang had her sit at the side of the Princess of Stone God's table.

"Tell me, where do you plan to go after leaving here?"

Han'er hadn't expected him to ask this; she thought he would ask how she had been all these years. She prepared many words, intending to start from the time she left Qiao Mountain, but Shi Feiyang, not asking about the past, instead inquired about her future after leaving here. She immediately felt very wronged and angrily said, "I'm going to become an evil witch who does all sorts of wicked things!"

"How do you plan to become a witch?"

Seeing he wouldn't even try to keep her, Han'er grew angrier. "I'm going to kill people! Whoever I find displeasing will be killed on the spot! I'll kill all the way going west from here!"

After saying this, she asked Shi Feiyang, "By then, will you come to subdue me, the witch?"

Shi Feiyang chuckled, shaking his head. "Someone else will subdue you, naturally."

"Hmph!" Han'er became even angrier. Even after everything, he wouldn't personally subdue her. She added, "I will also find many men to cultivate the 'Blood God Scripture' with me! I will put into practice everything I've learned in the scriptures!"

Seeing her in such a huff, Shi Feiyang laughed and sighed. "You're not a child anymore; why are you still so childish?"

"How am I childish!" Han'er was about to retort but realized she was indeed a bit childish. Yet then she thought, I am only childish in front of you, and you don't care at all. Feeling self-pity again, she continued, "I'm half human, half fox. What's wrong with being childish? I lost my parents when I was young! I only have one sister... forget it, I won't say anymore."

She forced her tears back, poured herself a drink, and drank alone.

After downing three cups in quick succession, she suddenly asked Shi Feiyang, "Do you dislike me for being too childish? Is that why you don't like me? Do you like someone as mature as the mistress?" Not receiving Shi Feiyang's answer, she sniffled, saying, "It seems so. In this world, only she is a match for you, and only you are a match for her."

Shi Feiyang gazed at her as if watching a rebellious younger relative throwing a tantrum. Engaging in casual conversation with her, he emptied three pots of wine and abruptly told her, "It's okay now. You can leave."

"What? You're chasing me away again!" Han'er, emboldened by the alcohol, cried out, "Do you hate me so much?"

Shi Feiyang didn't answer; he merely walked over to a long table on the side, took out the Cave Spirit Zither, and set it up. "You may go. I'm going to start playing."

With a cry, Han'er threw down her cup, dashed out the door, and transformed into a beam of blue light flying westward, the sound of the zither echoing behind her.

Shi Feiyang was playing "Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds." The tune was somber and deadly, resonating with the rain under a sky of dark clouds, striking an ache in the heart.

The zither's sound, like the clash of metal and stone, was incredibly penetrating. Even after flying a thousand miles away, Han'er could still hear it, feeling even more sorrowful.

In such a vast world, she didn't know where to go or what to do with her future. Instinctively, she wanted to return to West Kunlun to find the Princess of Stone God but felt no need once she reached the Qinling area. After a moment's hesitation, she decided to cross the Qinling towards Sichuan; she wanted to see her sister one more time, to make a final break!

Zhuge Jingwo had already reincarnated, and Madam Bao Xiang, after soldier disintegration, cultivated her Nascent Soul into Earth Immortal. She just assumed they were dead.

Her only living relative was her sister, Ziling. Though years had passed without seeing each other, they still needed to meet, and what needed to be said should be made clear. Afterward, with the vast sky and earth, they would part ways!

As soon as she entered Qinling, she witnessed a battle taking place below—a young man in black was being besieged by four demon humans.

The young man's swordsmanship was exceptional, capable of releasing colorful divine light from his ten fingers, already at Earth Immortal cultivation. However, the four surrounding him weren't weak either, wielding all sorts of Yin Thunder Ghost Fire, covering the sky within dozens of miles, turning it upside down with dreadful howling, truly fierce.

Han'er was in no good mood and saw a young man using a scissors-like Magical Treasure. When it was activated, it became two Black Dragons that shuttled back and forth between the Demon Light and Ghost Fire, unstoppable, slicing all demon ghosts in their path in half with ease, so mighty and majestic. It reminded her of a pair of scissors she had too.

Back then at Qiao Mountain, Shi Feiyang had a duel with Yang Jin and took his True Essence Scissors, which he later gave to Han'er.

Over the years, Han'er cherished these scissors highly; other Flying Sword Magical Treasures could be discarded, but not these scissors. To prevent someone from seizing them, she rarely used them lightly.

Watching the young man wield the scissors that turned into two Black Dragons today, she couldn't help but feel that they made a pair with her scissors. Moved by an inexplicable urge, she took out the True Essence Scissors and sent them into the air...

As for Shi Feiyang, the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds was not actually played for Han'er. It transmitted only slightly westward, for over a thousand miles, without any lethal effect. Its true direction was eastward, transmitting for over ten thousand miles!

The reason for the continuous heavy rain today was the arrival of a group of Sea Demons from the East Sea.

There weren't many of these Sea Demons, but they were massive. There was one particularly long Double-headed Sea Loach, with one head spewing water in the Bohai, stirring whirlpools and summoning typhoons, while the other head in the Zhejiang region created waves several feet high, surging towards the shore like a tsunami.

At this time, the Qingcheng Sect in the Southern Border was in a bloody battle with the Witchcraft Masters, and the Snow Mountain Sect was defending against Zhu Rong at the North Sea border. The elite disciples of both sects were absent, leaving those behind unable to handle these sea monsters.

Shi Feiyang, before the arrival of the Princess of Stone God, sent messages to Sword Immortals along the coast, calling them all to go out to the sea to slay the demons.

There were many Sword Immortals in the Mingyu Immortal Market in Tianjin Wei, as well as from places like Shandong Laoshan, Jiangsu Taihu, Zhejiang Wuxie Mountain, Tiantai Mountain, Bu Xu Mountain, Fujian. All of them led their disciples out of the mountains.

Of course, these Sea Demons were also the work of Chi You. The "Chi You Three Disks Scripture" contains numerous hybrids and graftings between Demon Beasts and humans, which the brothers Geng Kun and Geng Peng had researched extensively. Chi You himself was even more adept!

Aside from altering the tribes of Zhu Rong in the North Sea, he directly altered sea monsters in the North Sea as well.

He captured many Great Demons and used spells to make them copulate, producing more powerful offspring, or directly accelerated their growth and grafted them together, cutting off half of this Demon Beast's body and attaching it to another, or extracting many Demon Cores and injecting them into a single Demon Beast...

This Double-headed Sea Loach was formed by grafting two sea loaches together, their tails severed by Chi You and joined together, after which over a hundred other Demon Beasts' inner cores were inserted into them. They were fed copious amounts of flesh and blood and grown forcibly with spells, swelling to over eight thousand miles long. The Demon Core within morphed into surging Mana, entirely absorbed by it, becoming an unparalleled Great Demon!

There were six other Demon Beasts of similar power to this Sea Loach, along with over a hundred thousand other various Demon Beasts of all shapes and forms, all grotesque and monstrous hybrids.

This was Chi You testing Shi Feiyang, to see if he could draw him away from the Capital.

Shi Feiyang was sitting in the Capital, playing the zither, sending its sound far and wide. The entire East and South Coast could hear his grim music.

Over a hundred thousand Demon Beasts stirred up huge waves towards the land. The wave heights in places like Tianjin Wei and Zhejiang were dozens of feet high, resembling towering walls of water advancing directly onto the shore. Additionally, there were many with wings or capable of flying on clouds, stirring up hurricanes, spewing Yin Thunder, forming hailstones... Using all sorts of means to assault human cities.

In Mingyu Immortal Market, numerous sword immortal experts, including Jiang Dachuan, Lei Qilong, Wu Qingyang, Ling Weisou, and Shi Wengong, joint forces to hold back the waves dozens of miles offshore, launching Flying Sword Magical Treasures at those in the sky.

The Demon Beasts initially focused on fiercely attacking Tianjin Wei, leading to an intense duel above Bohai.

Mingyu Immortal Market had accumulated a massive reserve of resources. Jiang Dachuan opened the storerooms to distribute supplies, while Lei Qilong took out a third of the Magical Treasures he had refined over the years, roughly over two thousand, to hurl against the Demon Beasts.

The Demon Beasts fought intensely for half a day without touching the land's edge. The hurricanes and waves were all held back at sea, leading to a change in their strategy, splitting into smaller groups, leveraging their numbers to swarm the land. The Bohai Bay and Shandong Peninsula's coastlines were extremely long, and with not enough Sword Immortals to guard everywhere, many broke through despite numerous slayings, rushing onto land.

It was then that Shi Feiyang began playing the Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!

This Cave Spirit Zither was originally an Ancient Treasure, and with years of nurturing by Shi Feiyang, it became increasingly mystical and miraculous. The zither sound didn't emanate outward from the Capital but appeared directly at various coastal sites. There was no distinct sound source, blending seamlessly with the natural environment, incorporated within the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder, existing everywhere as if any point in heaven and earth could be the source.

When the zither sound penetrated the tens of feet high tidal waves, they instantly shattered into billions of white sprays, dissipated into countless droplets scattered across the sky. The raindrops and hail burst open simultaneously.

As the zither sound infused the hurricanes, the airflow resonated with it, immediately altering its direction. The extensive hurricane stretching a thousand miles disintegrated and vanished into thin air!

From Bohai to Zhejiang, the coastal sea surface, which moments earlier was a scene of violent storms and towering waves, began to calm once the zither sound resonated, the storm subsiding to leave only a misty white haze.
