The stolen magic is a bit magical

Chapter 492 The Eighth Heavenly Star Tear
Blue Fairy let out a long sigh: "Your three reasons convinced me! They also effectively stopped my blood from boiling over."

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "Actually, there's no need for that. We should just assume that Hydra is already destroyed."

Blue Demon's eyes flashed: "Because his foundation is already in our hands. As long as we dig out his roots, even if the Lord is still alive, he will no longer be the Hydra Lord. At most, he will just be an individual with extraordinary abilities, right?"

"Senior sister has grasped the truth!"

"We're leaving!" Lan Yao said, her gaze falling on a flying vehicle, the Qianlong Flying Vehicle, that was hurtling low in the sky.

"Okay!" Lin Xiaosu uttered a single word, and then a voice secretly entered her ear.

Blue Demon's eyes widened suddenly.

The flying car landed, and bloodstains appeared inside.

Lan Yao gave Lin Xiaosu a deep look and then got into the flying car.

The car sped away, leaving the quiet seaside with gentle waves.

The Thousand Spirits Saintess slowly shifted her gaze: "Shall we use the Wing Blades to return to your homeland?"

Lin Xiaosu blinked: "We don't have wing blades, so we can only take the high-speed rail."

Saintess Qianling chuckled: "Stop pretending to be mysterious. I've been observing you these past few days, and I've already seen through you. You're not honest with Qianlong at all. You blatantly embezzled the Wing Blade, and you still dare to blink and play innocent."

"What do you mean by playing innocent? I am innocent!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The Wing Blades have gained sentience now, and they are very opinionated... In Luoba State, they took pity on me and came to help me!... Don't roll your eyes there, I'm telling the truth!"

"Yes, yes, times have changed. Even ancient puppets have evolved a sense of loyalty!" Saintess Qianling pouted. "Let's go buy tickets. By the way, I've come to Great Xia with you now, basically penniless. I didn't bring a single penny with me. From now on, you'll have to support me."

"It's okay, I'll support you!" Lin Xiaosu patted her chest: "I earned 30 million from this mission. Not only can I support you, but I can also support all your sisters!"

Buy your ticket, board the train, and head straight to Huanggang East Station...

Meanwhile, at the Qianlong headquarters, the Decision-Making Division was stirring up a tremendous wave.

Bloodstained King has escaped danger and returned!

A report from the Decision-Making Department caused a thunderous uproar...

The six kings of Hydra have all perished!
Last night's battle saw the Hydra Lord die on Knae Island!

Each item, each word, is a raging torrent.

Even more shocking was his last sentence: "I brought back a hard drive, which theoretically contains a list of Hydra's global members and needs to be decrypted immediately!"

The Grand Strategy Officer slammed his fist on the table and stood up: "Good! Send it to the First Division immediately!"

Bloodstained King walked in the middle with the hard drive in his hand, surrounded by red flags.

Upon entering the company, all personnel were on high alert, all computers were thoroughly inspected, and seven computer experts sat down simultaneously. The legendary computer expert, Brain King, personally executed the decryption instructions.

Behind them, the three Heavenly Kings acted as guards, with Thunderclap prominently among them.

Everyone knows that the data on this hard drive involves top-secret information about Hydra, and is related to the final outcome of the decades-long battle between the old rival Hydra and the Dragon. It is absolutely not allowed to be lost, so the level of security is unprecedented.

Unexpectedly, at the same time, a guard entered the Dragon Head's office.

The guard's face changed strangely, and the Blue Demon appeared in front of the dragon's head.

She raised her hand, and a hard drive appeared in her palm: "Old man, don't blame me for playing this double act with Bloodstain, it's really of great importance and we have to be careful."

The dragon head nodded slightly: "My computer has been disconnected from all physical connections. This office is yours now. You will decrypt it yourself!"

……

The sun was already setting on the shore of Tashan Lake.

The little wooden house that the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits bought was sleeping quietly in the sunset.

The courtyard has been uninhabited for more than four months, and weeds have grown over it.

It presents a desolate atmosphere.

However, as the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits strolled by, the grass in the courtyard inexplicably acquired a kind of beauty. The grass was still there, but it seemed to have been carefully groomed to present a sense of beauty.

She was in front, and Lin Xiaosu was behind. She walked forward step by step, and the courtyard changed step by step. A light flashed in Lin Xiaosu's eyes. This was the wonderful use of the Wood Rule.
How can the great path of nature unfold beneath our feet without us even realizing it?

The tea leaves were originally a little damp, but when the Thousand Spirit Saintess brushed her hand over the tea canister, the dampness naturally dissipated.

Boil a pot of water.

The brewed tea soup is clear and slightly green, just like fresh tea.

The lights came on, and Lin Xiaosu and her sat on the platform, facing the illuminated lights of Tashan Mountain.

"The Hydra list will be announced soon!" said the Thousand Spirit Saintess. "Right?"

“Yes!” Lin Xiaosu picked up her teacup: “When I parted ways with Lan Yao, she asked me a question in private.”

"what?"

"She asked me if we should remove the Nalans family from the list if it appeared!"

The Nalans family.

The family of Catherine, the physical body of the Thousand Spirit Saintess, is that of the current head of the Nalans family.

As everyone predicted, the Nalans family was definitely on this list.

Originally, if the list were made public, the people on the list would be made public directly, and there would be no room for negotiation on price.

However, Blue Demon and Bloodstain gave Thousand Spirit Saintess a choice.

Because the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits was a key figure in this crucial operation, and she was a hero in this great transformation, even though the Heavenly King of the Hidden Dragon was principled, he still felt that he could not let the hero be disheartened, and he could not let her entire family pay a heavy price because of her participation.

The Thousand Spirit Saintess raised her eyes: "You mean, this is a proposal that the Blue Demon Heavenly King made to you?"

"It was a joint proposal from her and Bloodstained King!"

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits smiled gently: "And your answer?"

“I said… let me ask you!” Lin Xiaosu said, “If you say erase it, then erase it; if you don’t care, then let nature take its course.”

The Thousand Spirits Saintess's eyes flickered: "Why do you think... that I might 'not care'?"

Logically speaking, it's impossible for someone from a family to be "indifferent" to their own family. But Lin Xiaosu's options included "if they don't care."

This seemingly ordinary remark touched a nerve with the Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits.

Lin Xiaosu raised her eyes: "Because I don't know if a person's physical body carries some kind of inherited mark that I don't understand, or if it's just because of the bloodline of the physical body that one can inexplicably feel close to a group of people."

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits was in turmoil.

If the mystery in the previous statement was only a small hint...

This statement has almost completely revealed their hand.

"Physical body"!
"Bloodline"!
"Being inexplicably friendly and close to a group of people"...

he……

Does he already know her true identity?

Saintess Qianling took a deep breath: "Can we use this option to exchange for something else?"

"What to change?"

"It's your turn to be honest with each other!"

Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I've been waiting for your honesty!"

The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits turned her gaze to the Tashan Lake in front of her, which was sinking deeper and deeper into the night.

She reached out and picked up the teacup on the table, only to find that it was empty.

She reached out, picked up the teapot on the table, and poured herself a cup.

As her emotions gradually calmed down, she slowly raised her head: "How much do you really know about me?"

"My understanding of you is just a legend, from Catherine!" Lin Xiaosu said, "The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Clan, guarded the pass for the human race. She was seriously injured and was forced to become a remnant species."

This is our trump card!
The whole story was revealed in a single sentence!

He knew perfectly well that the Catherine in front of him was no longer Catherine; she was a remnant who had possessed his body.

The Thousand Spirits Saintess asked, "When did you realize I wasn't Catherine?"

“I was right there when you possessed Catherine!” Lin Xiaosu said.

"You can see the primordial spirit?"

"This is my livelihood, my eyes—they're a bit special!"

The eyes are somewhat unusual!
Therefore, he is the detective!
The Holy Maiden of Thousand Spirits raised her gaze: "You witnessed your adventure companion being possessed by me, yet you remained unmoved. Why do I feel... this doesn't seem like your style?"

She also fought alongside Lin Xiaosu several times.

She knew that Lin Xiaosu was very protective of her comrades; she was the kind of person who would rather get hurt herself than let her comrades get hurt.

But he watched helplessly as his comrade was possessed.

At that time, the Thousand Spirit Saintess had just possessed the body and was not yet familiar with it. If he had attacked with all his might then, he would have had a chance to turn the tide.

Lin Xiaosu laughed: "You would never have imagined that if Catherine hadn't died at your hands, she would have died at mine. Between her and me, only one of us could see the sky beyond the prison mountain."

"Is that so?" Saintess Qianling's heart pounded. She deciphered Catherine's consciousness, but it only included the facts that had already occurred. Catherine's scheme against Lin Xiaosu was automatically ignored because it had not yet become a fact.

"She already targeted me with that protective mask. If you hadn't taken over her body, even when she launched her final attack outside that blood coffin, I wouldn't have been able to spare her life," Lin Xiaosu said. "Therefore, Holy Maiden, you and I have never been enemies; in fact, we were comrades from the very beginning!"

We have never been enemies.

We're comrades from the very beginning!

When the Thousand Spirit Saintess was unearthed, the first person she killed was her enemy!
This sentence seemed to sweep away all the gloom.

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits smiled; her smile was exceptionally lofty and radiant.

Lin Xiaosu smiled too, and gently raised his hand, a dewdrop appearing on his fingertip: "This is the eighth Heavenly Star Tear!"

The Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits gently raised her finger and touched his fingertip lightly. The drop of Heavenly Star Tear was transferred from his fingertip into her body, and she, with her primordial spirit as her eyes, saw the changes within his body.

Above the Blood Tower, seven bone-like celestial stars.

He has already given eight pieces of leather-bound celestial star to the Holy Maiden of the Thousand Spirits.

But there are only seven bone-rich stars!
Because he used one of them to save Changye.

This is the flaw in his destiny.

The Holy Maiden of a Thousand Spirits sighed softly: "You are getting closer and closer to the pinnacle of cultivation."

"Yes, I'll probably reach the end in about a month."

That was the birth of the ninth cortical celestial star.

That was the eighth bone-based celestial star, Yao Kong, within his body.

On his blood tower, that eternal regret remains.

“Cultivation is vast and boundless, how many regrets are left halfway through?” The Thousand Spirit Saintess slowly lay down on the recliner, gazing at the distant sky.

"Regret isn't limited to the path of cultivation; in fact, where in life is there no regret?" Lin Xiaosu slowly lay down as well: "What is it like to return after ten thousand years of wandering, only to find that everything and everyone has changed?"

"Loneliness, a loneliness I've never experienced before."

"I wasn't there for you on the journey so far, and I probably won't be able to accompany you on the even more distant path of cultivation in the future either. But these past few days, here at this beautiful Tashan Lake, I'm here with you!"

The starlight, like water, quietly spread across Tashan Mountain.

It lay quietly in the small county town.

The lake water rippled gently, and a few yellow leaves floated on its surface...

On the platform, the two lay on deck chairs and slowly drifted off to sleep.
