Laughter hid a few sinister secrets that no one knew, but everyone was aware that the Puppet Sect was about to turn over a new leaf and needed to enter an era of stable development.

The existence of Profound Heart, the inheritance of the Purple Mansion, would further advance the Sect, officially stepping into the era of "Purple Mansion Ancestor overseeing the Sect" in many years to come.

However, there was still a thorn in their side, and that was: the Mountain Sea Great Demon.

The Mountain Sea Great Demon had always been searching for Song Yan.

Song Yan is dead, will they still come?

If they come, under what kind of humility should they kneel to continue surviving?

...

...

The news of "Song Zhang and the Demon dying together" was a secret among secrets, but considering the existence of the Mountain Sea Great Demon, Blood Cliff and others quickly spread this news, making it known to all.

To "avoid suspicion," Blood Cliff and others not only spread the news but also started to furiously curse Song Demon, saying that demon was despicable and shameless, committing numerous evil deeds, to the extent that even they couldn't stand it. The infamous name of the Puppet Sect was entirely brought out by Song Demon alone. In life, Song Demon controlled them with means, and they wished to devour that demon alive.

At the same time, they sent emissaries with a large number of gifts to the Multi-tailed Fox Race in the Mountain and Sea Demon Country, reporting the situation in the posture of slaves, and then actively pleading for mercy from the Upper Kingdom, hoping they could station an Upper Envoy permanently in Jin Kingdom to give orders, lead the masses, to prevent another unpardonable demon like Song Yan from offending the Upper Kingdom.

The first envoy had just left when, a few days later.

The second envoy quickly set off again.

And the gifts this envoy brought were even more lavish, that is Profound Heart.

Pleading for the Mountain Sea Ancestor to personally come to Jin Kingdom, oversee Profound Heart, allowing such a small country as Jin to join the great Mountain and Sea Demon Country, becoming a member of the Demon Country.

If you can't beat them, join them. As long as you can become a part of the Mountain and Sea Demon Country, you can avoid the disaster of annihilation.

Blood Cliff and others had an extremely strong desire to survive, "Profound Heart" was a treasure, the only position to advance to the Purple Mansion, but how could they possibly guard it? Since they couldn't guard it, they might as well give it as a gift to the Mountain Sea Great Demons.

...

...

The news of Song Yan's death quickly spread to the south.

In fact, Su Yao already had a feeling.

Because when she went to the place to connect with the "Bodiless Phantom Crow" some months ago, intending to routinely report to that Song Demon that the "Ancient Teleportation Array repair progress was still at a standstill," she found the Bodiless Phantom Crow seemed soulless, fallen on the ground, frozen in the snow.

At that moment, she felt something was wrong, and now the news confirmed her thoughts.

Su Yao recalled some moments spent with Song Yan, feeling a mix of emotions, but she had experienced too many separations and reunions, having one more Song Yan didn't make a difference, nor one less.

Yuzhuang felt quite saddened, setting up a clothing tomb in a picturesque spot on a desolate mountain.

Yu Xuanwei felt both admiration and fear.

In her heart, Old Demon Song was an unfathomable existence, yet such an existence could die one day.

He died just like that, seemingly dropping dead.

She sensed the impending arrival of the Mountain Sea Great Demon, so while hastily arranging for the remaining disciples of Nanwu Sword Sect to hide their identities, concealing themselves in the Land of No Profound in the Southern Wilderness, pretending to be ordinary reclusive villagers, she sought another opportunity to continue repairing the Ancient Teleportation Array.

An Li, initially intending to search everywhere for Brother Xiuhu, gradually gave up hope and instead focused more on alchemy.

Pain is the greatest catalyst for growth.

Growth means forgetting.

If one can't forget the suffering and endure the pain, how can they grow up?

An Li had grown up.

She realized that even if Brother Xiuhu had not died on that day in the Misty Sea, he probably hadn't escaped far and had already perished.

Time is the best healing medicine; no love is eternal.

Even if An Li remembered Brother Xiuhu, his figure would gradually blur, because she was no longer a child. There isn't any obstacle too insurmountable; people... always have to look forward, right?

...

...

The warm wind of July gently blew across the azure sea surface.

Shallow waves covered the beach, continuing forward to wash over and engulf the wet gravel, bringing the small shrimp, crabs, and fish hiding in the sand pits back to the sea.

Song Yan lay on his back against a huge rock, stretching his body to feel the warmth brought by the warm water and scorching sun.

The surroundings were deserted for a hundred miles, only sometimes a fishing boat would lose its course and pass by from the distant sea.

In such a place, even the pungent scent of blood could disperse widely, becoming so faint it nearly vanished completely.

Without subordinates, everything had to be done by himself.

Even making paper was the same.

Now, Zhang Han's blood was soaking into the pulp, about to take shape.

But making his blood corpse was extremely difficult, Song Yan hadn't found a "Feng Shui Treasure Land," so he could only follow an ordinary Corpse Nourishing Technique to keep the corpse in a self-made stone coffin.

When the blood paper formed, he planned to use this paper to make a paper house, then hide in the deep sea, as deep as possible, and after that... he intended to stay underwater for a very long time, until the Mountain Sea Great Demons forgot about Song Yan's existence, until old acquaintances were long gone.

This was his plan.

He had the blood of a "Ghost Shark" and a "Water Abyss Flood Dragon," living underwater was no problem. And the skin of sea beasts in the sea could also be used to create shadow puppets.

By then, he would live in the sea.

Of course, he had already successfully broken through to the early stage of Purple Mansion.

In Zhang Han's storage bag, there was an inheritance of the Purple Mansion.

Through that inheritance, he sat in the Three Kingdoms Profound Heart, spending sweat and wisdom, closing his eyes for three hundred years, naturally enhancing Ghost Profound Root to a middle grade, and successfully breaking through and consolidating the early stage of the Purple Mansion realm.
