96: Heaven and earth weeping! Opening peace for all eternity!

“...”

When Wu Tian and Ao Yu looked at them, the Old Woman understood the meaning in their eyes.

“Heh heh…”

She chuckled softly.

The Old Woman floated gracefully in front of Ao Yu and Wu Tian.

She smiled slightly at the two of them.

Then bowed her head in a respectful salute.

“This Old Woman greets Lord Dragon Vein, and this young friend.”

“Mm.”

Ao Yu nodded indifferently.

Wu Tian, on the other hand, returned the bow, nodded, and smiled at the Old Woman.

“Both of you…”

“Is there something troubling you?”

Wu Tian and Ao Yu had stood for a long time without speaking, only looking at her.

The Old Woman was slightly taken aback, then smiled and asked softly… Wu Tian and Ao Yu exchanged glances, and finally, under Ao Yu's frantic winks of encouragement, Wu Tian had no choice but to bite the bullet and, with a somewhat awkward expression, coughed lightly.

He asked the Old Woman softly.

“Ahem…”

“Um, Old Woman, these sorcerers have all been annihilated, you…”

Wu Tian glanced at the other vengeful spirits not far away.

He asked the Old Woman.

“And these vengeful spirits behind you.”

“What do you plan to do next?”

“...”

“This matter?”

The Old Woman showed no surprise, slowly nodding.

She glanced at the vengeful spirits behind her.

“I'll ask them!”

“Uh…”

“Alright!”

Wu Tian nodded, watching as the Old Woman turned and slowly floated towards the group of over fifty vengeful spirits.

The Old Woman slowly floated back to the motionless queue.

After looking at all fifty-plus vengeful spirits, she then spoke softly to everyone.

“Brothers and sisters!”

“Now that our great revenge is exacted, what are your plans next?”

“...”

The vengeful spirits were stunned.

Then they looked at each other.

One vengeful spirit spoke first.

“Since this matter is resolved, and we can still roam this world, that is excellent. In a few days, I plan to leave this Peach Blossom Garden and travel to the outside world!”

“To see this magnificent world after more than two thousand years!”

“Indeed!”

Another vengeful spirit chimed in.

“These two millennia of drastic changes, we are also witnesses!”

“We also want to see the beautiful mountains and rivers of this Huaxia!”

“Yes, yes!”

The vengeful spirits spoke up one after another.

“Trapped here for over two thousand years, and now our great revenge is finally achieved, how can we not enjoy some freedom?”

“Heh heh…”

“I heard there are many foreign beauties now; perhaps I should even visit other countries!”

“To have a good look!”

“Pfft!”

“Shameless!”

“Pervert!”

All the female yin spirits were stunned, then, without a word, spat at the person who had just spoken, their faces slightly red.

“But seriously…”

“What has the outside world become now? I really want to see it. Since the fall of Great Qin, which dynasty has taken its place?”

“What has happened in between?”

“I’m quite curious!”

“...”

Watching the vengeful spirits chattering about their future plans, the Old Woman wasn't angry.

No matter what these vengeful spirits said or planned to do.

It was all understandable… Even if they had all become soul entities, they still possessed humanity!

Trapped for a thousand years, who wouldn't yearn for freedom?

After such vast changes, who wouldn't be curious?

But… “Bang!”

The Old Woman gently stamped her foot; the sound wasn't loud, but the discussions among the vengeful spirits instantly ceased. Everyone looked at the Old Woman with questioning gazes.

“Auntie!”

After a long while.

A vengeful spirit asked the Old Woman.

“We’ve all said so much.”

“What are your plans?”

“...”

The Old Woman smiled slightly, glanced at this vengeful spirit, and then surveyed the surrounding vengeful spirits who were staring at her.

Only then did she chuckle.

“Heh heh…”

“Me? I plan to disperse now, my soul returning to heaven and earth, buried within this Peach Blossom Garden!”

“...”

A moment of silence fell among the vengeful spirits.

Then an older, more seasoned vengeful spirit asked the Old Woman, somewhat puzzled.

“Aren’t you curious about the outside world?”

The Old Woman shook her head.

“Of course, I’m curious!”

“Then you…”

The Old Woman waved her hand.

“Curiosity is one thing, but have you ever considered that we are people who existed over two thousand years ago? Today, two thousand years later, is not our homeland!”

“Our homeland…”

“Is no more!”

The Old Woman’s expression gradually became serious.

“Moreover!”

“Even though we are free, we are still not truly free.”

“Our descendants still exist in this world!”

“Our future generations!”

“And a group of Huaxia people living in the sunlight, with the same blood flowing through their veins as us!”

“We carry a thousand years of accumulated resentment, and what’s more…”

The Old Woman calmly pointed to the complex energy and thoughts within her body.

“We have hundreds of thoughts existing within us.”

“We are uncontrollable!”

“What if…”

The Old Woman's voice was sincere as she whispered to the vengeful spirits.

“If we are provoked in the outside world and do something uncontrollable, wouldn't we harm these descendants who share our lineage?”

…The Old Woman’s voice echoed in the open space.

The vengeful spirits all lowered their heads and fell silent!

“...”

“I…”

After a long while, one vengeful spirit raised his head, his gaze at the Old Woman firm and resolute!

“I think Auntie is right!”

“We are all people who have died; we should go to where we belong. If we act on our own and accidentally harm innocent people…”

“Wouldn’t we become villains again?”

“...”

“Exactly!”

Another vengeful spirit also stepped forward to agree.

“Since we have already exacted our great revenge, our wishes are fulfilled, and we have no more attachments in this world.”

“Why should we linger?”

“Dispersing early is a virtuous act!”

“Correct!”

With these few vengeful spirits speaking up, the remaining ones also understood the crucial point.

“Since we no longer belong to this world.”

“Then let dust return to dust, and earth to earth.”

“We cannot disturb others!”

“...”

Suddenly, one of the vengeful spirits, with a relaxed expression, called out softly to the Old Woman.

“I agree to my soul returning to heaven and earth!”

“...”

“Me too!”

“I also agree!”

“I also approve!”

“Soul return to heaven and earth!”

“Without attachments, isn’t that freedom?”
