Beichuan Si closed the ancient document and glanced at the "Four Directions Huixue" struggling in mid-air.

The surface of her Spiritual Body writhed as dense resentment bubbled up from within.

Beneath this erosive resentment attached to her, the "Four Directions Huixue" emitted cries of agony as her wandering soul was gradually stained black by the dark resentment—

However, in the next moment, her Spiritual Body's surface suddenly exploded with a strong moonlight which, like a razor, harshly separated a small half of her body from the dark resentment.

She still had reserve strength and trump cards even at such times.

Nonetheless...

Beichuan Si slightly turned his head.

He saw the resentment in the air, alive like a creature, wildly sweeping toward her at an astonishing speed.

Resentment actively attaches to a Spiritual Body, much like a magnet to iron, and since there was only the "Four Directions Huixue" as a Spiritual Body, the only way for "Four Directions Huixue" to escape this dilemma was...

Beichuan Si then turned to look at the corpse of Four Directions Wangyue.

Only by returning to the body of Four Directions Wangyue could the resentment in mid-air lose its primary target.

But—

Beichuan Si narrowed his eyes and then felt around with his hand...

He bent his waist, gathering strength.

He raised his hand!

Something was thrown out by Beichuan Si.

The next moment, the familiar cries were heard again,

"Four Directions Huixue" in mid-air stopped, and her Spiritual Body dispersed.

"What is this?! What is this exactly!" She finally stabilized her form and then with her incredibly ethereal hands, she violently pounded on the invisible barrier in front of her.

Standing in front of her was a piece of black Hui Yue, which was not particularly outstanding. Its roughly polished surface, the coarse jade corners...

But...

Its black surface shined with an indescribable brilliance.

"Beichuan!" A voice like a curse echoed through the air, "Four Directions Huixue," in front of the geode jade, looked at Beichuan Si with a face full of resentment.

But there was no change whatsoever in Beichuan Si's expression.

He was neither frightened nor did he step back; he just stared at the Four-directions Hook Jade floating in the air, forming a circle, and said word by word,

"All of this is the consequence of what you left behind a long time ago, whether it is swallowing the elixir of immortality or this Four-direction Hook Jade..."

Beichuan Si shook his head.

The dead's resentment is like a curse, clinging to the living and bursting forth when the time is right.

Whether it was the failure at Waning Moon Time that led to the death of the Four Directions Family Head, forcing the whole Four Directions Family to move, or forcefully breaking apart the couple Four Directions Wangyue and Four Directions Wenji... all these were results caused by "Four Directions Huixue" herself.

Beichuan Si did nothing; he just calmly watched as "Four Directions Huixue" led herself to her demise.

"Damn! Damn, damn, damn ahhh!!!!" An extremely venomous voice echoed through the air.

Under normal circumstances, she would have broken through this barrier made up only of fragmented thoughts.

But just now she had relinquished a significant part of her Spiritual Body, and this seemingly frail barrier became the last straw crushing her last sliver of hope.

It might have been an illusion.

But from below, Beichuan Si seemed to see.

Behind the complete, circular Four-direction Hook Jade, there were the figures of a man and a woman.

They were tightly holding each other's hands, their gazes firm.

Four Directions Wenji and Four Directions Wangyue...

"Phut!!!"

The writhing resentment took advantage of this gap and instantly eroded from behind another Four Directions Huixue.

In an instant, dark resentment pierced through her Spiritual Body, then, curling around her fragmented Spiritual Body, it pulled her back into the dense ball of resentment.

The eerily writhing ball of resentment constantly squirmed as screams from "Four Directions Huixue" echoed from within,

"No, don't! I'm not like this! Leave me alone! Get away! Beichuan, Beichuan, Beichuan, Beichuan! Beichuan ahhh!"

The broken syllables lingered in the air for a long time, the deep-seated hate in the voice could not dissipate.

But Beichuan Si paid no attention to these; he looked at the Four-direction Hook Jade floating in the air.

Within the brilliance connecting the Four-direction Hook Jade, it seemed he could see two faintly visible figures.

They nodded gently towards Beichuan Si, as if thanking him for his help.

Crack... Crack, crack...

Cracks gradually appeared on the complete Four-direction Hook Jade, and the brilliance also began to dim.

The next moment, the Hook Jade fell from the air to the ground.

"Beichuan Master..." Four Directions Huixue struggled to support herself, her voice also somewhat puzzled, "What is this...?"

"The legend of the Four-direction Hook Jade passed down from Yueyou Mountain," Beichuan Si explained succinctly, "Four Directions Wenji's Spiritual Body did not completely perish... just as the legend says, he entrusted half of his soul to Four Directions Wangyue, holding the other half himself. Just as he had promised, he would protect Four Directions Wangyue."

"Is that so?" Four Directions Huixue opened her mouth.

The legend of the Four-direction Hook Jade... being a Moon Witch, she had heard of it.

Looking at the Four-direction Hook Jade quietly lying on the ground, she felt a hint of envy.

Four Directions Wangyue had someone who loved her as deeply as Four Directions Wenji did, which was undoubtedly her happiness... although they couldn't stay together in life, after death... their wishes were realized at last.

Will I ever meet someone like that?

Thinking this, Four Directions Huixue couldn't help but turn her head and stealthily glanced at Beichuan Si beside her.

Then—

Something was emotionlessly stuffed into her hands by Beichuan Si.
