Shen Li and Fu Sheng fought fiercely for several rounds. Fu Sheng used the Still Water Technique to summon towering waves in an attempt to drown Shen Li. However, Shen Li soared into the air and responded effortlessly. Seeing that the Still Water Technique posed no threat to her, Fu Sheng created even more puppets to drain Shen Li’s strength. The Still Water Technique was originally Xing Zhi’s formation.

Shen Li cursed Fu Sheng for overestimating himself and was about to finish him off when she suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure—Mo Fang! Fu Sheng addressed Mo Fang as Young Master and hoped to get his approval to kill Shen Li that day. Mo Fang, unable to bear it, urged Fu Sheng to withdraw immediately, but Fu Sheng stubbornly refused.

He kept persuading Mo Fang to prioritize the greater good, saying that the Bihai Cangzhu was within their grasp and that retreating now would ruin everything. Hearing their conversation, Shen Li felt a chill in her heart. After the Spirit Realm’s crushing defeat in the last war, her people had suspected a traitor among them. Now, it seemed beyond doubt that it was Mo Fang.

She had known Mo Fang for three hundred years, having shared countless life-and-death experiences and trusted him with her life. Yet now she discovered that he was a traitor who had committed countless crimes against their people—it was simply outrageous. Shen Li questioned Mo Fang whether he was aware of his guilt.

Mo Fang once again demanded that Fu Sheng retreat, but Fu Sheng instead bound Mo Fang with ropes and ordered the puppets to spare no effort in killing Shen Li. Fu Sheng mustered all his strength and forced Shen Li into the depths of the lake, then froze the entire surface, instructing his men to retrieve the Bihai Cangzhu once Shen Li’s presence disappeared from the lake. Fu Sheng had underestimated Shen Li.

Holding her breath and concentrating her spirit under the water, she finally shattered the barrier and leapt out successfully. She defeated Fu Sheng and Mo Fang together and was ready to punish the traitor. Holding her spear, she needed only one strike to erase Mo Fang from the world. But as memories of the past three hundred years flooded back, Shen Li found herself unable to strike ruthlessly.

Fu Sheng absorbed endless dark power, flooding his body with malevolent energy and greatly increasing his strength. Half the sky was already shrouded in dark clouds. Mo Fang, seeing through Fu Sheng’s scheme, desperately urged Shen Li to flee and told her to run southwest. Tears streamed down Shen Li’s face. At this point, she didn’t even know if she should still trust him.

As Fu Sheng closed in, Mo Fang struggled to drag Shen Li away, but they were ultimately a step too late. Shen Li’s heart was pierced by Fu Sheng’s black claw, and the Bihai Cangzhu began to churn violently inside her, as if it was about to be taken. Determined to perish with dignity, Shen Li forced out all the spiritual power within her body to die together with Fu Sheng. The Bihai Cangzhu was not taken away.

Fu Sheng was incinerated by raging flames, and Shen Li perished as she sacrificed herself. In her final moments, Shen Li’s mind conjured the image of Xing Zhi. Now that Fu Sheng had been eliminated, the Spirit Realm should be safe. The only thing she could not let go of was Xing Zhi. She longed to eat another meal of the rice he once cooked. Tears slowly slipped from the corners of her eyes and fell into the molten lava.

The Spirit Tribe’s general brought back Shen Li’s belongings. The Spirit Lord finally awakened, and the first thing she instructed upon waking was to forbid Shen Li from seeking revenge for the Spirit Realm. But when she saw the urn carried by General Shang Bei and heard the news that Shen Li was gone, she was overwhelmed with grief.

Now that Shen Li was no longer alive, the Spirit Lord ordered General Shang Bei to report to the Heavenly Lord in the Immortal Realm and cancel the marriage agreement. In recent days, Fu Rong Jun had frequently visited Lingxiao Hall to pay his respects, hoping to gather news about the Spirit Realm. After all, he had once crossed paths with Shen Li.

On the way, he happened to encounter General Shang Bei, who was dressed in mourning white, his expression filled with sorrow, making Fu Rong Jun realize that something serious had happened. In the Immortal Realm, upon hearing General Shang Bei’s report that Shen Li had died in battle at the Eastern Sea, Xing Zhi’s hand trembled slightly. He interrupted General Shang Bei, reminding him that no unverified information should be recklessly asserted.

General Shang Bei reconfirmed the news of Shen Li’s death, and Xing Zhi, enraged, immediately grabbed him by the neck, warning that speaking falsehoods would bring divine retribution. General Shang Bei admitted that they had not found a body. The vast Eastern Sea was shrouded in thick mist, making it impossible to search.

Now, with madness in his eyes, Xing Zhi bade farewell to the Heavenly Lord and rushed to the Eastern Sea, determined to search once more for the whereabouts of the King of Bicao.
