Stone Master took it, and when he looked up to thank, Qin Liuxi had already disappeared.

Everyone was so shocked that they almost knelt down.

Stone Master was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and went home.

All his family was gone, leaving only a little granddaughter to rely on, but she was mentally dull and called a fool by others. Qin Liuxi said so, could she become smart?

Had his granddaughter met a benefactor?

On the west side of South Mountain, Qin Liuxi met with Feng Xiu who received the message, and beside him was a large python as thick as a man’s arm. Upon seeing Qin Liuxi, it quickly slithered up, crouched on the ground, and bowed its head to her three times to show respect.

Qin Liuxi looked at its scales, which were black and shining, and asked Feng Xiu, "Did you receive the news as well?"

Feng Xiu said, "It said there used to be a large tomb on the west side of South Mountain, guarded by a Grave Guardian Stone Beast Xie. It once passed by there and was scared away, but after several mountain floods, it’s uncertain whether it still exists."

"That should be the General’s tomb of the Zuo family. Since Fan Kong can see it, it should still be there. Let’s go."

The Black Python immediately led the way, quickly crawling towards the location it remembered, fearless that Qin Liuxi and Feng Xiu couldn’t keep up.

Of course, the two behind it—one the Demon Emperor, the other a Half-Immortal Master—could easily skin it alive; there’s no way they wouldn’t be able to follow its pace.

Indeed, although the mountain terrain was complex and the forest dense, making it hard to navigate, the two had both used their magic skills and moved swiftly, soon arriving at a valley.

Qin Liuxi frowned, observing the surroundings. The place was shaded, devoid of sunlight, filled with dense yin energy, becoming a Gathering Yin Land.

"The yin energy here is so dense."

The golden eyes of the Black Python looked around before swimming to a boulder covered in moss amidst thickets, and then turned back to face Qin Liuxi and Feng Xiu.

"Looks like we’ve found it." Feng Xiu stepped forward, waved his hand and lifted the boulder, removing the tall weeds, revealing a tombstone.

In front of the tombstone, a Stone Beast stood half-buried in the earth.

Qin Liuxi approached, observing the Stone Beast, which was half human height. A horn mounted on its head formed a round ball at the tip. Two bands tied its top, mouth open with its tongue curled up. The entire figure was vigorous and sturdy, both imposing and majestic, seemingly static but actually dynamic with softness embedded in strength. Its wings were folded at its sides, intricately carved, exuding an awe-inspiring presence.

Yet, Qin Liuxi and Feng Xiu focused on the runes carved later onto the Stone Beast, particularly the Taoist runes.

Qin Liuxi glanced around and said, "Aside from the rune for attracting Yin Evil, there’s an Evil Summoning Talisman. The auspicious beast has turned into an evil beast, placed in the Gathering Yin Land, and has turned into spirits. Misfortune spreads; this place won’t find peace."

"Is this the Array Eye of the small array?" Feng Xiu frowned, querying, "How can it connect to the large array over such a distance?"

Qin Liuxi stood up, pondering slightly, "Could it be possible that these small arrays are like a string of firecrackers, igniting one means all others would explode?"

Feng Xiu sneered, "Then this is truly the pinnacle; why bother playing? Better come with me back to Heavenly Mountain and wait to witness destruction!"

Qin Liuxi glanced at him irritatedly, lightly tapping the Stone Beast’s horn. As if struck by an idea, she suddenly drew a dagger, slicing her finger and letting the blood flow.

"What are you doing?"

Qin Liuxi didn’t answer him, using the Fingertip Blood from her left index finger to draw a Disaster Relief Talisman over the Evil Summoning Talisman. The blood, containing Spiritual Power, completed effortlessly, a flash of golden light passed, merging into the Stone Beast.

Crack.

A sound emanated from within the unicorn-tiger, its body cracked, the valley shook slightly like an earthquake, causing the Black Python to tremble, curling up like a pile of dung, feigning dead.

Feng Xiu’s expression remained unchanged, merely glancing up at the sky, showing no doubt or obstruction towards Qin Liuxi’s actions.

After all, if she pierced the heavens, he would join her!

The valley shook only twice before calming down, nothing stirring at all.

Instead, the cracks on the unicorn-tiger grew bigger until it shattered with a crash, falling into pieces at their feet.

Feng Xiu was stunned, releasing demonic power, consciousness stretched outward, discovering nothing happened outside, no disaster or difficulty, even though the Grave Guardian Stone Beast shattered into debris.

"This Array Eye, is it so fragile?" Feng Xiu felt he had overestimated Si Luo; it’s been destroyed like this, with nothing occurring, what about the promised absorption of all living souls?

Qin Liuxi merely looked at her left index finger, thoughtfully saying, "It’s not fragility; it’s I should have found the right way to destroy it."

It’s just somewhat exhaustive of blood, and it must be the Buddha Bone Fingertip Blood; its power, meaning that using its power to destroy the Array Eye it deployed.

Self-destruction, no problem.
