The clouds are overcast and a steady drizzle falls.
In the mountains, trees fell down, and potholes all over the mountains and fields were filled with scorched smoke. It was a scene after the war for hundreds of miles.
At this moment, three women were confronting each other, namely Zhen Qin, Jiang Qiong, and Epiphyllum Ghost Mother. All three women were injured.
The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother stood in the ruins with her hair disheveled. Her face was covered in blood, and she glanced around. Eight flags formed an array to trap her.
Outside the formation, Jiang Qiong was suspended in the air. Her injuries were not as serious as those of Epiphyllum Demon Mother, but judging from the rising and falling of her chest, she was also very exhausted.
Zhen Qin stood on the cliff, holding a sword in her hand and surrounded by flying knives that shone with golden light.
She looked down at the Epiphyllum Demon Mother, her eyes were so cold.
Epiphyllum Ghost Mother looked at Jiang Qiong, gritted her teeth and said: "Sect Master, I have supported you for so many years, do you really want to help outsiders kill me?"
Jiang Qiong sneered: "How do you know she is an outsider and you are not?"
Epiphyllum Ghost Mother took a deep breath and said: "Aren't you afraid of the return of the Sword Master Fu Dao?"
"Then you didn't know that she is the disciple of Sword Master Fudao?"
Faced with Jiang Qiong's ridicule, the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother remained silent.
Zhen Qin raised the sword in her hand and said: "Epiphyllum Ghost Mother, today I will avenge my senior brother Su Han!"
Upon hearing the word Su Han, Epiphyllum Demon Mother's expression did not change. She lowered her head, as if preparing to meet her fate.
Jiang Qiong immediately cast a spell, and the eight flags were violently agitated. The ruins whipped up strong winds, forming green chains that entangled the Epiphyllum Demon Mother, but the Epiphyllum Demon Mother did not make any resistance.
Zhen Qin rushed into the formation, slashed with his sword, and the cold light shone and shattered the mountain forest.
A sword slashed through it, blood burst out, and the Epiphyllum Demon Mother's head flew up.
Zhen Qin stopped behind the Epiphyllum Demon Mother. She slowly stood up straight and turned around to see that the neck of the Epiphyllum Demon Mother was not only spurting blood, but also burning with golden flames.
The ghost mother of Epiphyllum Epiphyllum appears and cannot escape from her neck.
Zhen Qin looked at this scene with no joy in her heart, only a feeling of relief, followed by endless exhaustion.
Many years have passed, and she no longer hates the Night Flower Ghost Mother, but revenge for Su Han has become her obsession.
Jiang Qiong fell from the sky and looked at the golden flames on the neck of the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother. She clicked her tongue and said in wonder: "Is this going to make her soul fly away? Where did you practice the evil skills?"
Zhen Qin's face was expressionless and she said: "To deal with evil heretics, naturally you have to use evil skills."
The soul of the Epiphyllum Ghost Mother was struggling in pain and did not scream, but looking at her twisting body was so terrifying and terrifying.
A gust of breeze blew by, blowing away the golden flames around her neck. This made Zhen Qin and Jiang Qiong's expressions change greatly, and they subconsciously turned their heads to look.
"That's it. The grudges of this life have been settled."
A voice sounded, and when Zhen Qin heard it, she stopped talking.
This voice was Gu An's.
Jiang Qiong was pleasantly surprised and looked up, trying to find Gu An.
The soul of Epiphyllum Ghost Mother flew out of the corpse. Zhen Qin's sword was no ordinary sword. That slash cut off all her vitality. At this moment, she had to either seize her body or wait for reincarnation.
Her soul knelt beside the corpse, seemingly paying homage to Gu An.
"I give you two choices. One is reincarnation, giving up the cause and effect of this life and starting a new life in the next life. The other is atonement, losing freedom and continuing to live."
Gu An's voice sounded again, his tone was indifferent, like God speaking.
Epiphyllum Ghost Mother comes from the Epiphyllum Sect. Although she is not from the same party as the Epiphyllum Sect that brought trouble to Taicang Continent, she has harmed many people in this life, and Su Han is just one of them. Even if she later founded the Flower Judging Sect, she would do it.
Many evil methods were used.
The reason why Gu An gave her a choice was because she truly believed from the bottom of her heart that she was acting for Fudao Sword Master and that she was Fudao Sword Master's person.
After following Fudao Sword Master, she also restrained her methods and tried her best to do good.
Gu An didn't completely protect her, not just because of Su Han, who had long since severed ties with him, but because she had indeed done evil, and her past deeds could not disappear just because she stopped doing evil.
People always have to bear the consequences of their choices.
The Epiphyllum Ghost Mother immediately raised her head and shouted loudly: "I am willing to follow you, even if I lose my freedom forever!"
As soon as her voice fell, her soul disappeared into thin air.
The world then returned to calm.
Jiang Qiong curled her lips, looked at Zhen Qin, and comforted: "Anyway, she is dead, and she will probably not feel comfortable in the future."
Zhen Qin took a deep breath and said: "I know, Master said he would not let her be free, and he will never let her be free."
The Great Sage of Blood Prison is the best example. Gu An said that he would be his mount for a thousand years, and he really made him endure for a thousand years.
Jiang Qiong felt relieved when she saw that she was not persistent, so she asked, "What are your plans next?"
Zhen Qin looked into the distance and said, "I have no plan."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body suddenly fell back.
Jiang Qiong's eyes widened and she subconsciously stretched out her hand.
However, a hand moved faster and caught Zhen Qin's shoulder. Zhen Qin looked up and couldn't help but smile.
"Master..." Zhen Qin said weakly.
Gu An looked at her and sighed slightly.
Zhen Qin has reached the end of her life span, and today's battle has completely exhausted her vitality.
Jiang Qiong was also very happy to see Gu An, but she did not speak and left her time to their master and apprentice.
Zhen Qin was no longer able to speak, she quickly closed her eyes and even her hands naturally dropped, which made Jiang Qiong frown.
Gu An looked at Jiang Qiong and said, "Epiphyllum Ghost Mother is dead, and you will be in charge of Juhua Sect personally."
Jiang Qiong nodded and said: "I know, I will go back soon."
She took a step forward, looked at Gu An, and said: "They say you have left Tianling World, but I didn't expect you are still here. Let me just say, how could you leave me without saying goodbye."
Gu An faced this woman who had helped him a lot in the early days of his life, and said with a smile: "If you encounter trouble in the future, just call me in your heart."
He could hear Jiang Qiong's thoughts and knew that Jiang Qiong was not of a temperamental nature that could leave the world, so he did not invite her to the dojo.
Jiang Qiong stared at him and asked, "If I miss you, can I call you?"
Gu An rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'm very busy."
Jiang Qiong snorted coldly and said: "Take her away quickly, don't let her die."
She couldn't see the limit of her lifespan, but she could feel that Zhen Qin's vitality was rapidly passing away, which was not a good sign.
Gu An nodded slightly, then disappeared from the place with Zhen Qin.
Jiang Qiong did not leave immediately, but walked towards the body of the Epiphyllum Demon Mother. After all, she had worked together for thousands of years, and she did not want the body of the Epiphyllum Demon Mother to wander in the wilderness.
…
Zhen Qin had a long dream, dreaming that she was back when she was a teenager. At that time, she, Su Han and Ye Yan lived in Xuan Valley without any worries.
At that time, they were still looking forward to the foundation building realm.
When Zhen Qin woke up, she opened her eyes and saw the blue sky.
She subconsciously sat up and saw Gu An sitting at a stone table not far away, with an ice coffin placed next to her.
Seeing Gu An, her heart suddenly calmed down, and she immediately stood up, preparing to go over and salute.
As a result, she saw the scene inside the ice coffin as soon as she stood up. She was stunned. She couldn't help but blink, but no matter how many times she blinked, the scene inside the coffin did not change.
"How could..."
Zhen Qin became excited and her body trembled slightly.
Su Han's body lay in the ice coffin, intact.
She looked at Gu An again, who was drinking tea and not looking at her.
At this moment, Zhen Qin was filled with emotion and shame, and thousands of words were stuck in her throat, unable to be uttered.
