Dong Hua was alarmed by the lightning bolt which shot up towards Feng Jiu at full speed. He appeared beside her immediately as his eyes went wide. The lightning bolt was just upon her when she smiled. A cruel, vicious smile. It was not Feng Jiu, but Tang Yin.

"Don't worry I haven't put her mind to sleep. And if I disappear she will definitely be able to bear the tribulation without her will." She chuckled.

"Tang Yin! Stay your hand" he said angrily as an invisible mist formed a blade and slashed through Feng Jiu's body. Tang Yin's divine will was shattered and back in the cavern, she coughed up some blood.

"You pulled out your mighty sword for me back then too. Top ten among ancient weapons, Canghe (pronounced Saang ha not haa). Should it be my honor? You've pushed me to this corner. If only you had killed me back then Dong Hua, I wouldn't be here, driving into madness each day. I wanna die but I can't and neither can I live under the same sky as you. The Dao of the devil doesn't allow me to do that or rather to be the ultimate peak you have to sever emotions and turn your past into dust. To possess the devil needs countless souls at disposal. They remain with me eternally, cursing at me, they can't enter reincarnation either. Those would give me unmatched power. To bear all those things as if they are nothing is the Dao of the devil. Turns out you were more soft-hearted than you appeared to be. You're even in love...Dong Hua. I never had you. But after you are dead your soul will be with me. Even if you hate me." She laughed and her blue eyes once again turned bright red. 

Her laughter was not that of an innocent and young woman she used to be in the past. Well, the past was past and for some people even if they do realize it's just hard. They know it deep down but as the saying goes, riding on the back of a tiger and finding it hard to get off.

In the same moment, the tribulation descended. Feng Jiu's eyes were blank because Tang Yin had suppressed her mind. But transcending tribulation required unshakable will. While Feng Jiu wasn't focused at all. Blood sprayed out of Feng Jiu's mouth, Dong Hua closed up on her and they both teleported some distance away from where there was no one. Inwardly his heart was pounding. Everything was silent except his heart which kept telling him to protect Feng Jiu more. Feng Jiu seemed to be regaining will, but tribulation had weakened her too much. She was barely able to keep her eyes open. He took the next remaining bolts of lightning for her. Apparently, it was nothing much to him. After all, it was only the first tribulation for immortals. But his eyes were burning with anger towards Tang Yin and worry towards Feng Jiu. The moment tribulation was over Feng Jiu's aura changed. Her injuries from the tribulation got better. But the dark aura which Tang Yin left didn't disperse. She gave a last look to Dong Hua as she fell into a coma.

Dong Hua carried her back to the apartment. Lian Song was unaccessible. He guessed that he was just drunk from earlier. So he decided to contact Si Ming through jade slip. But it didn't work at all. He decided to go back to nine heavens but it seemed like someone or something had blocked it. Originally he wanted to heal Feng Jiu in nine heavens so he won't receive backlash. Because he had already used magic while destroying Tang Yin's will clone. Then he unhesitatingly decided to heal Feng Jiu with his powers.

"She must have tailed us before with her divine will," he murmured. He extracted a drop of his golden blood which he then poured into Feng Jiu's mouth. Her pale face slightly regained color.

"Still won't disperse, this bizarre aura..." he murmured with a frown. Then he seemed to recall something. He took out the jade necklace which glowed every few seconds. Then he quickly wrapped it around Feng Jiu's neck. Almost Immediately, a mark of a unicorn appeared on Feng Jiu's wrist.

It has chosen her as its master. Dong Hua thought and studied the mark. But it seems so similar, this mark. Could it be...

The aura which had been hanging around her sucking at her life force was now dispersing rapidly. Dong Hua sighed with relief.
