Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Chapter 289 Slay the demon to the very end, see the Buddha through to the West.

Emerging from the cave beneath Qing Shui Terrace, Xue Lan knew that the matter had succeeded.

The woman walked briskly through the Qingshuitai camp, and people kept greeting her along the way.

There was a familiar feeling among them, and also a somewhat unfamiliar one.

Of course, whether familiar or unfamiliar, these atmospheres are imbued with intense hope and anticipation.

It's unclear whether they have high hopes for Xue Lan or for the current situation in the Yuanming mortal realm.

But it's all good in the end.

In such a relaxed atmosphere, Xue Lan also withdrew his divine sense, intending to become completely blind in the Qingshuitai camp.

For the next period of time, the disciples of various sects and the soldiers of Shengyu Army saw the aloof and seemingly unapproachable Miss Xue walking slowly through the camp, leaning on a stick she had found somewhere.

Every now and then, it would trip over something and fall forward in a dangerous way.

In fact, cultivators have keen senses. Even if Xue Lan gave up his divine sense, he could walk around here as if on flat ground.

But the Wolf Queen had her own unique rhythm. She shut down her five senses, making them similar to those of ordinary mortals. Then she began to dutifully play the role of a blind person.

She stumbled and fell along the way, stubbornly refusing help from others.

So when Xue Tong saw Xue Lan at the entrance of the cave where the women were, he was completely dumbfounded.

Xue Lan's clothes were covered in dirt, and there were bits of grass stuck in her hair, making her look quite disheveled.

The girl spoke softly: "So, finally someone from another sect couldn't stand by and watch you get beaten up?"

Xue Lan dared not nod, fearing that if she did, the person opposite her would take out a gong from the so-called system space and strike it.

The woman shook her head: "I just want to know, what does a real blind person look like?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said bluntly, "You're sick."

Xue Lan: Who are you talking to? When I get back to Beiyuchuan, I'm not going to feed you for a month!

Seeing that Xue Lan's expression was a bit uneasy, Xue Tong gave Xue Lan a cool look.

Xue Lan stood up straight, holding the stick in her hand.

"Was it done?" Xue Tong asked coldly, her beautiful eyes devoid of any emotion.

"It's done... Wait, did you look at some bad-headed sketchbook again?" Xue Lan grabbed Xue Tong's ear.

"Can you see the coldness in my eyes?" Xue Tong asked in a low voice.

Xue Lan covered her face: "I just feel ashamed."

Xue Tong continued looking at her: "So, did you get the magic core?"

"It's almost done, but that senior doesn't dare to give me the dangerous thing directly. He needs to discuss it with Grandmaster Qingyin and the others."

Xue Lan straightened up, reopened her five senses which had been partially closed, and then raised her hand to cast a cleansing spell on herself.

Xue Tong couldn't help but ask her, "How does it feel to be blind?"

Xue Lan smiled mysteriously: "Guess..."

Xue Tong didn't want to talk to this person anymore.

She stopped talking, but Xue Lan tugged at her sleeve: "Let's go, let's go."

"what?"

"Kill the demons to the very end, and see the Buddha through to the West." Xue Lan smiled and took out Ji Yan's demon core from her sleeve.

“I’ve already checked the demon soul; it’s completely beyond saving. But he is, after all, the villainous protagonist, and I’m afraid he might come back to life.”

So the two of them went to a mountain peak behind Qingshuitai.

Xue Lan bit her fingertip and drew an intricate magic seal on a red rock atop the mountain.

Xue Tong examined it carefully: "It looks a bit like a sun-tracing mirror."

Xue Lan finished the last stroke and stood up; the wound on her finger had already healed.

"This is just a part of the Sun-Tracing Mirror, only a small outermost part. It doesn't have the power of the complete Sun-Tracing Mirror. At most, it's just... you can just look at it."

Xue Tong watched as Xue Lan took the demon core from Ji Yan's sleeve and placed it in the center of the magic seal.

Then, a large hammer appeared in the hand of the petite woman.

Xue Tong's eyes widened suddenly: "Wait... where did you get this sledgehammer?"

Xue Lan smiled wickedly: "You know nothing about my collection."

Then, the woman lifted the giant hammer, which was almost as tall as herself, and began to hammer it repeatedly onto the magic core. The hammer, covered with Xue Lan's fire elemental power, landed on the small magic core like a red-hot meteorite.

A quarter of an hour later, Xue Lan placed the hammer beside her and looked at the magic core in the center of the seal, which had become round.

"It seems like there's nothing wrong, right?" she asked Xue Tong, turning to him.

The girl pondered for a moment, flipped through the vast collection of novels she had read, and finally said with utmost seriousness, "One more time."

Xue Lan used her strange fire and the giant hammer again.

The girl was still not satisfied: "Again!"

So Xue Lan used half her strength and methods to unleash the full set of moves.

An hour later.

Xue Tong stroked her chin and slowly said, "I'm still a little worried."

Xue Lan looked at the magic core that had been kneaded into a ball: "How about we do it again?"

Xue Tong shook his head: "It's not that I want to make things difficult for you, it's just that the chosen ones in those picture books are too extraordinary."

"Mortals can survive a fall from a sheer cliff, but the terrifying Mo Yuan, who jumped in, survived only to become a demon. Even if he were just a snowflake sent into a strange fire by the villain, he could still find a way to survive..."

"Stop, stop..." Xue Lan interrupted the girl, speaking earnestly, "You should read less of those storybooks!"

“I think there’s really nothing wrong with this magic core. Let’s go. I’ve refined this thing so many times, it’s no longer of any use. Let’s leave it here.”

After saying this, Xue Lan led the reluctant Xue Tong back to the campsite ahead.

At midnight, moonlight poured down on the large red rock.

In the hazy moonlight, a very faint wisp of black mist slowly flew out from the demon core, taking on a human shape within its shadow.

Then, he began to slowly crawl down the rocks, keeping close to the ground. He was so careful that an ordinary person would not notice him at all.

Upon reaching the edge of the large rock, the small figure in black mist cautiously stepped onto the edge, hesitant to go down.

He is far too fragile right now. Even a fall from this mere foot would cause him to crumble, and it would take a great deal of effort to reassemble him.

Just as he was slowly moving downwards, a voice filled with laughter suddenly reached his ears:

"Your Highness, don't be afraid, jump with confidence. I'll catch you!"

A woman dressed in jet black appeared before the little man at some unknown time, with a bright smile.

The aura emanating from the dark little figure suddenly exploded, attempting to escape, but Xue Lan easily caught it in her hand.

"I knew it... male leads are always hard to die!" Xue Tong said, leaning closer to Xue Lan's hand. "He's so patient, I'm starving!"

Xue Lan looked at the little figure in her hand and smiled gently:

"What is Your Highness doing? I already said... go all the way!"
