TWSFLD-Chapter 84: Victory and Defeat Will Recur Countless Times

Feng Xi turned to look toward Shen Zilan’s side.

There weren’t many demonic soldiers left over there. At most after another hour, they would likely finish killing them all.

Shen Zilan happened to glance over as well, and her gaze collided with Feng Xi’s.

It’s as if her gaze was steeped in poison.

Feng Xi believed that if looks could kill, Shen Zilan would’ve already killed her more than eighty thousand times!

Shen Zilan withdrew her gaze and continued slaughtering.

Feng Xi also didn’t look at her again, but instead began thinking about how to pass the trial.

Kill all the demon soldiers and generals?

This was a trial set by demons, would they really let you pass by killing all the demons?

Who’s the idiot here, him or you?

So what exactly would work?

As she thought, she looked at the demon soldiers and generals, and quickly noticed something strange about their expressions.

Not hatred. Not sorrow. Not excitement. But confusion.

Her heart stirred, and she seemed to understand something.

After a while, she swallowed a Body-Replenishing Pill and stood up.

“Demon generals and soldiers, why are you fighting? Who are you fighting for?”

The movements of the demon soldiers and generals instantly slowed, and the confusion on their faces deepened.

Why are they fighting?

Who are they fighting for?

They didn’t know.

They only knew slaughter, unceasing slaughter.

Even in death, the lingering consciousness was still bent on slaughter, kill all humans!

Feng Xi let out a long sigh, “What does it matter whether the demons or humans win?

Stars shift and time flows, victory and defeat will recur countless times.

You may not know this, but now humans and demons have already signed a ten-thousand-year friendship alliance. The Endless Sea of the border city has become the necessary route for trade between the two races.

We affectionately call the Endless Sea, the Sea of Peace!

Humans and demons not only coexist peacefully, they’ve even intermarried!

My second grand-uncle’s neighbor’s eldest granddaughter married a young man from the Shadow Demon Clan. Last year she gave birth to a chubby red-haired boy.

So you need not cling to slaughter anymore. It’s all in the past!

Just let it go!

The mountains and rivers of the Demon Realm are still waiting for you!

Your parents at home are still waiting for you!

As long as you release the obsession in your hearts, your souls can return home and reunite with your loved ones!”

Her words were like a binding talisman, all of the demon soldiers and generals froze in place.

Moments later, cries and howls echoed through heaven and earth.

Those demon soldiers and generals all turned into nothingness and vanished without a trace.

At the same time, Shen Zilan saw that all the demon soldiers and generals had disappeared and assumed she had passed the trial.

She looked toward Feng Xi’s side with triumph, only for her expression to instantly stiffen.

Impossible!

How had Feng Xi and the others also completed the trial?

Next, everyone waited for the result.

But the voice didn’t appear for a long time.

Feng Xi: …For fuck’s sake!

Did I talk him into dispersing too?!

Is his mental fortitude really that weak?!

Everyone waited a while longer, but there’s still nothing.

So they could only begin searching for a way out.

Right now, they were trapped inside a barrier. To leave, they either had to break it or find the formation’s core.

Liu Shaobai of Wan Jian Sect and Meng Huainan of Beast-Taming Sect were both formation masters, and the two began studying how to break it.

On the other side, Mo Xiuyuan was also researching a way to break the formation.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Zilan casually attacked one spot, a gap opened in the barrier.

The members of Hunyuan Sect were overjoyed and quickly exited through the gap.

Before leaving, Shen Zilan took out a piece of paper, wrote two lines, and waved it toward this side.

“We’ll scout the surroundings first, then come back to rescue you.”

Xing Wu immediately curled his lip, “She says it better than she sings it. She’s just afraid we’ll get out and compete with her for the so-called demonic treasure!

Mark my words, once she gets the treasure, she’ll leave immediately. She won’t care whether we live or die!

She just loves this whole buying-people’s-hearts routine. Only fools would believe her nonsense!”

The others said nothing, but they thought the same as Xing Wu.

If Shen Zilan wanted to save them, she could’ve done so just now. She simply didn’t want to.

Qin Shifeng opened his mouth, then ultimately swallowed his words.

An hour later, Liu Shaobai and Meng Huainan finally calculated the weakest point of the barrier. Everyone worked together and broke it.

In truth, this was only possible because the formation had existed for too long and had suffered heavy wear and tear. Otherwise, even if they found the weak point, they wouldn’t have been able to break it so quickly.

After coming out, they found themselves still standing in the same place as before. However, the city gates and walls had vanished, replaced by a black barrier.

This barrier was far sturdier than the previous one. Even with everyone striking together, it didn’t so much as tremble.

After discussion, they decided to head toward the city center, preferably to find the City Lord’s Mansion.

The formation disk was very likely placed there. Only by finding the formation disk could they find a way to break the formation.

After winding through the streets, they found the City Lord’s Mansion.

A pack of vicious hounds appeared out of thin air at the entrance.

Qin Shifeng said, “These are Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Hounds. Many demons use them to guard homes.

They’re extremely ferocious. Looks like we’ll have to put in some effort.”

Everyone immediately summoned their spirit swords, preparing for battle.

Then they saw Feng Xi take out a basin of meat buns from her storage ring and throw it out.

The pack of Heaven-Swallowing Demonic Hounds dashed over!

They had long completely forgotten about guarding the gate.

Everyone: …

Little Junior Sister, why do you always refuse to follow the script?!

Feng Xi stepped forward and knocked twice on the door. A gloomy voice came from inside, “Enter.”

It was the same voice that had been issuing commands before.

Feng Xi was about to push the door open when Jiang Ji stepped ahead of her, “Little Junior Sister, I’ll do it!”

She knew he feared danger, so she said nothing and obediently stepped behind him.

This eldest senior brother of hers was usually taciturn, but whenever there’s danger, he’s always the first to step forward.

Jiang Ji pushed the door open. A square courtyard came into view.

Elegant rockeries, flowing water, it was rather artistic.

They circled the rockery and saw a rattan chair directly ahead with an old man sitting on it.

An old man with only one arm.

Feng Xi clicked her tongue. This old thing really kept his word, he had actually broken off his left arm.

The old man looked up at them, “You’ve arrived?”

Feng Xi nodded, “Mm, we’ve arrived! You doing well?”

The old man sneered, “You talked my hundred thousand demon soldiers and generals into scattering their souls and made me sever an arm. Do you think I’d be well?”

Feng Xi smiled sweetly, “Yes.”

The old man: …

He waved his right hand casually and Feng Xi fell flat on her face!

Anyone else would’ve been shocked or frightened. At the very least, they would’ve felt embarrassed.

But Feng Xi simply sat cross-legged on the ground, even taking the time to pull out a cushion from her storage ring and place it under her butt.

“Senior, let’s have a chat!”

The old man: Chat my foot!

Feng Xi beamed, “Senior, you’ve endured endless years. You must have an unfulfilled wish.

Although this junior is human, I’m willing to fulfill your wish on your behalf.

As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind the mill, let alone me!

So, what benefit are you planning to give me?”

The old man: …
