Ruan Xingling moaned softly and awoke.
What greeted her eyes was a rough stone cave dwelling that seemed to have been newly hewn.
"Fairy Ruan, you've awoken?"
Fang Xi, who was sitting cross-legged next to her, recovering his magic power, opened his eyes and revealed a hint of a smile.
"The magic talisman... And what of the demon cultivator Situ Jia?"
Ruan Xingling got up, scanned the area with her divine consciousness, and immediately asked the most crucial question.
"After the magic talisman unleashed its power twice, its potency was exhausted... I had to reveal all my trump cards to finally slay that demon cultivator..."
Fang Xi said, seemingly still shaken by the event.
"You... you killed Situ Jia?"
Ruan Xingling found it somewhat hard to believe.
Situ Jia not only had a cultivation at the initial peak of the Foundation Establishment stage but also practiced demon skills, comparable to an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.
