He had already noticed something wrong with this matter; it must be clarified, especially since this is the moment he needs the other party's help.

He couldn't help but wish to slap himself; someone who doesn't understand music messed with a tune for no reason, wasn't this just inviting trouble?

The red-clothed woman, whose breathing was somewhat rapid, showed signs of calming down swiftly, glanced at the Magical Treasure on the ground, and slightly nodded.

Shi Chun understood immediately, picked up the Black Lotus Treasure, hesitated for a moment, fearing it would be like throwing a meat bun at a dog with no return. Especially since he just learned it was a Spirit Venerable Treasure, but considering his current needs and pressures, he braced himself and activated it.

After erasing his own connection with the Magical Treasure, he handed over the Black Lotus Treasure.

The red-clothed woman grabbed the treasure in hand, immediately activated and imprinted her connection, then utilized it and threw it.

In the air, the Black Lotus flickered, its petals disassembled, and quickly reformed into a Dharma Aspect.

The red-clothed woman gazed up; under the guidance of her mind, the Dharma Aspect drew a sword with a swish, directly formed a sword flower, and then performed a dazzling sword form in the air.

Suddenly, the Dharma Aspect's figure plunged headfirst, landing in a place full of jagged rocks, did a backhand sword stab, piercing a towering boulder.

Without seeing what happened to the struck boulder, instead, there was a series of explosive sounds from the stones or stone pillars in a straight line from behind the boulder, splitting them in two with a clang.

Shi Chun was stunned, and instantly realized the terrifying power of this move in a duel, secretly screamed in his heart, realizing that the self-attacking power of the Spirit Venerable Treasure far exceeded his control. The treasure had never wielded its power in his hands.

After a killing move, the sword light along with the Dharma Aspect figure soared into the moonlit sky.

Watching the figure traversing the sky and earth, the red-clothed woman was already in tears, clutching her chest with trembling shoulders, seemingly experiencing a heartbreaking pain of despair.

It wasn't until hearing a mild sobbing that Shi Chun, looking upwards, turned to see her crying, faintly confirming the suspicion in his heart.

A gust of strong wind came, the Black Lotus Dharma Aspect had landed on the mountain top, right before the two of them.

The red-clothed woman supported the metallic lotus slices on the Dharma Aspect's leg, looking up at the contour of the Dharma Aspect figure, crying so sorrowfully, "So you were, before death, already had your soul extracted and spirit robbed, livingly refined into an Artifact Spirit, it must have been excruciatingly painful. Why did they torment you, who did it, who on earth…"

Shi Chun's heart sank, indeed he guessed it right, this Artifact Spirit was indeed an acquaintance of this woman while alive, a relative seemingly impossible, the Artifact Spirit had been human while alive, this woman was a demon.

After crying for quite a while, the red-clothed woman eventually controlled her emotions, wiped her tears, then reached out, allowing the Dharma Aspect to revert into the Black Lotus Treasure falling into her hand.

She turned to look at Shi Chun and said, "Where did you get this Magical Treasure?"

Shi Chun said, "Got it in the Divine Fire Domain, wrestled it from a sect called Forget Love Valley, it originally was in the hands of the leading disciple Wu Shanshan from Forget Love Valley, I traded it with a similar type of Divine Fire…"

He rambled on about his enmity and process with Forget Love Valley, explaining in broad strokes where necessary, and in detail where needed, aiding the other to verify in the future.

"Forget Love Valley…" The red-clothed woman whispered, turning slowly with the Black Lotus Magical Artifact in her hand, puzzled, "Just a tiny Forget Love Valley, how could it have his Artifact Spirit?"

Shi Chun pondered for a while, then confessed, "The first time I encountered and recognized the tracking capability of the 'Demon Eye' was in the Divine Fire Domain, with this Wu Shanshan; no matter how I ran, she could catch up, it took great effort to figure out how, then find the Magic Skill to evade."

"Demon Path… carried out by the Demon Path, how could the corpse be fully retrieved, how would they know the tune?" The red-clothed woman frowned for a while, then slowly eased it, letting out a series of cold laughs, "Forget Love Valley, Forget Love, what a way to make me forget…"

Having said that, she put the Black Lotus Treasure into her pouch.

"..." Shi Chun was silent, wanting to speak but stopping, this was his Magical Treasure, the legendary Spirit Venerable Treasure.

The red-clothed woman turned to ask, "No objection to giving me this treasure?"

"No, you've given yourself to me, no treasure is as important as you." Shi Chun thumped his chest, pretending to be frank, internally scheming a way to hoodwink it back later. After all, this woman's cultivation was inferior to his. After suppressing the mental knot, he couldn't help but ask, "What is the relationship between this treasure's Artifact Spirit and you?"

The red-clothed woman glanced at him, took back that big red flower from his hand, reinserted it in her temple, and said blandly, "In life, he was my first man."

"Uh…" Shi Chun fell silent, indeed a bit annoying, turns out to be her old lover, and he inadvertently became an ancillary beauty, what a bizarre situation.

Upon reflection, he felt no need to be jealous of the dead, curiosity led him to ask, "Seeing him act just now, and looking at the rank supporting this Treasure, his power in life should be extraordinary, what identity did he have, and how was he refined into an Artifact Spirit?"

The still recently sobbing red-clothed woman, now acting as if nothing had happened, "Wait until you can survive from the East Victory Royal Court before saying more."

After saying this, she walked to the cliff edge, stepped right off towards the mountain abyss, her skirt fluttering as if she wanted to end her life, then raised by released Wind Scale, flew towards Dazhi City.

She left suddenly, without a word of farewell, Shi Chun gaped, mouth open sending her off, sulkily flicked his sleeves, this uncalled-for development, regretting it.

He also took out the Wind Scale and flew into the air…

In an old attic, from a space crack, the red-clothed woman stepped out, the crack disappeared behind her.

Lan, who was busy beside the corner desk, immediately stood up and saluted, "Madam."

The red-clothed woman glanced at her, directly ordered, "Gather those from the Extreme Fire Sect who had entered the Divine Fire Domain last time and those from Shudao Mountain for me."

"Yes." Lan agreed, tried to inquire, "Does Madam intend…?"

The red-clothed woman did not answer, continued instructing, "The Phoenix Clan has besieged the Golden-haired Rat Clan for countless years, tomorrow go in person and have the Phoenix Clan free those rats."

Bai Qiru was released today, before with Shi Chun, talking about the matter with the Golden-haired Rat Clan, saying her maternal uncle had dispatched people to liaise was just to fool Shi Chun. Not resolving it today naturally to show a process of negotiation, otherwise stating completed immediately, this maternal uncle would seem dearer than the father.

"Yes." Lan complied.

The red-clothed woman pacing about said, "Shi Chun requested a fallback with me, probably intending to surrender at the East Victory Royal Court, that crafty fellow might be looking for not just one fallback with me, dissect his network to see who else might show up to provide him with a fallback, then secretly stop all."

Lan was stunned, this was cutting off Shi Chun's way of survival, seeking to put Shi Chun to death? She didn't understand what the meaning of secretly maneuvering was, observed expressions, and without asking too much, answered again, "Yes."

The red-clothed woman, while pacing, glanced at her, lay on the chaise lounge, kicked off her shoes, and with bare feet, fetched a flute to blow a little tune, suddenly stopped to ask, "Lan, you often stayed by my side listening to this tune, you should have learned to play it, right?"
