Fusang Sword Heart Diagram

After walking in the darkness for an unknown amount of time, a few dazzling lights shone from behind the screen wall and fell at Ning Fusang's feet.

Spiritual stone?

She walked around the screen wall and saw boxes filled with spirit stones and jewels, casually placed on the ground.

Countless rare and precious materials, exotic tree cores, beast pills, and demon bones piled up into small hills.

Ning Fusang suppressed her doubts and put everything into her Iris Butterfly Ring before beginning to look around.

She held up a luminous pearl the size of a bowl, illuminating the stone chamber.

Apart from the circular platform beneath her feet, the surrounding area was filled with winding channels, the water of which seemed to have flowed in from an external lake.

Delicate spiritual flowers grow in the water, and when illuminated by the luminous pearl, they resemble enchanting female demons draped in the bright moonlight, exuding a touch of holiness amidst their allure.

"Fusang, you've picked up so many treasures, why do you look so unhappy?"

Ning Fusang simply felt that the layout here was more in line with the preferences of the Spirit Clan.

When she received the Iris Butterfly Ring, it contained mostly crystals; but when she arrived at the treasure trove, it contained mostly spirit stones.

and--

"Don't you think this Jade Belt Butterfly Lord is too rich?"

To be honest, the amount of treasures here is much larger than Ning Fusang had imagined.

The silkworm spirit said innocently, "Isn't it good that Jade Belt Butterfly Lord is rich? The richer she is, the richer we are!"

"Since Jade Belt Butterfly Lord has already perished, these treasures, regardless of who they belonged to before, are now ours."

Ning Fusang thought about it and realized it made sense. Just as she was about to take out her sword and harvest these spiritual flowers, her divine sense, which had spread out, sensed other auras.

It came from the front.

"Is this really the treasure trove of Lord Jade Belt Butterfly? How come we haven't seen anything after all this time?"

"Our lord has searched the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord's treasure trove three hundred times. His patience has long been exhausted. If we return empty-handed again this time, we may not be able to withstand her wrath."

"Don't worry, this time it's a sure thing."

"Why are you so sure, Si Xi? I see nothing different inside this mountain wall."

“Ordinary mountains aren’t this hard.” The demon called Si Xi had a sharp glint in her eyes, very confident in her judgment.

He had a premonition that Jade Belt Butterfly Lord's treasure was definitely ahead.

"This is Mount Moshi. Moshi is as hard as iron. Mountains like this are not uncommon in the demon realm."

Clearly, Si Xi's words hadn't convinced him. He felt that if he continued traversing the mountains, his claws would be ruined.

Is Mount Moshishan something he can break through?

If it weren't for Si Xi's status and authority, he would never be here, like an idiot, digging a tunnel through Moshishan Mountain.

As the sound grew closer, Ning Fusang gathered a ball of spiritual energy in her palm, determined not to let the two demons discover the entrance and disrupt Qian Yuan's cultivation.

She finally found a lake for Qianyuan to live in temporarily.

Other places were either the territory of other demons or not secluded enough, but the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord's treasure trove was secluded enough with no other demons nearby and was also protected by a magic array. She would have a hard time finding a better place than this.

Ning Fusang used the screen wall to conceal himself.

"Si Xi! It's empty ahead!"

An excited voice came from a low place close to the ground. Ning Fusang listened to the sound and pinpointed the location, then unleashed two spirit blades.

bass!
A burst of light flashed, illuminating the darkness for a fleeting moment.

Ning Fusang saw clearly that it was a pangolin with a long bloodstain on its back. It was lying on the stone wall and had transformed into the appearance of a man in brown clothes. The wound caused by the spirit blade extended from its neck to its tailbone.

The blood lingered in the airtight, sealed room for a long time. "Who?!"

Si Xi shouted and struck the screen wall with a palm.

A deep, serene blue figure suddenly appeared before the two demons. The figure wore a menacing silver mask, its cold light gleaming and shooting into Si Xi's eyes.

The pangolin held its breath and tugged at Si Xi's sleeve, "The Iris... the Iris Butterfly Ring, she is the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord!"

Following the pangolin demon's gaze, Si Xi indeed saw a white bone ring shaped like an iris flower on its pale fingers.

Ning Fusang's brow twitched slightly. She had just used spiritual power; hadn't the two demons noticed?
The moment she raised her hand, the pangolin knelt down with a thud, tears streaming down its face: "Lord Butterfly, it is truly our good fortune that you have not perished!"

"This lowly demon has trespassed into your cave and disturbed you. I beg your forgiveness!"

The pangolin demon seemed to have little intelligence, only kowtowing incessantly, whether to show weakness or something else was unclear.

Si Xi's eyes flickered a few times before she finally knelt down on one knee. "I beg the Demon Lord to forgive Shi Ling and me for our recklessness. We two demons have no intention of offending you."

All the demons believed that Jade Belt Butterfly Lord had perished and wanted to devour her treasure to become the next Lord of Iris Land.

He and Shi Ling served under Lady Dan Ying in order to become meritorious officials of the Iris Land Lord. Now that Jade Belt Butterfly Lord is still alive, why doesn't he directly serve the true Iris Land Lord?

In a flash, Si Xi decided to switch sides.

Ning Fusang deliberately gathered a ball of spiritual energy in her palm and observed the expressions of the two demons. Apart from being somewhat afraid and uneasy, they did not seem surprised.

Could it be that Iris Butterfly Lord cultivates spiritual power?

Ning Fusang, seizing the opportunity, asked, "Who sent you?"

Si Xi answered without hesitation, "It is Lady Dan Ying."

“Ever since you went missing after your battle with the Demon Lord Meixi, the demons of Iris Land have split into three camps. Shi Ling and I were sent by Lady Dan Ying to search for your treasure, which is why we unintentionally disturbed your peace.”

"Dan Ying?" Ning Fusang's tone was cold, and an imposing aura of anger emanated from her. Seeing that the two demons were almost intimidated, she withdrew her aura and asked casually, "What level has Dan Ying reached in her cultivation? She even dares to covet my things."

Si Xi lowered her eyes and replied, "Early stage of the Ninth Realm."

This level of skill is alright; she can keep it under control.

Ning Fusang's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she asked again, "What about the other two?"

"Both Lord Ironclad and Lord White Willow are at the mid-stage of the Ninth Realm."

Ning Fusang scoffed and said sarcastically, "Hundreds of years have passed, yet your cultivation has not improved much. Have you spent all your time searching for my treasure?"

Si Xi and Shi Ling lowered their heads even further, not daring to speak.

Ning Fusang told the two demons to get up.

"After three hundred years of seclusion, I'm afraid the demons have long forgotten about me, their demon lord, and don't even know who the master of the Iris Land is."

The two demons felt a sudden tremor in their hearts.

The silkworm spirit murmured, "Fusang, are you really going to the Iris Land? There are so many demons there, it's very dangerous."

Fortune and wealth are found in peril; what is there to fear?

Furthermore, if I manage the identity of Jade Belt Butterfly Lord well, it will make my actions in the demon realm much more convenient.

It can at least shed its skin once.

Ning Fusang contacted Qianyuan through the master-servant contract, telling it to hide first. She then left through the stone gate with the two demons.

Seeing this, Si Xi and Shi Ling became even more convinced that the other party was the Jade Belt Butterfly Lord, otherwise why would she know the way in?
