After searching the bodies of those four individuals, Shen Ying activated the old peach tree. The roots twisted, smoothing over the overturned ground of Taohua Village once again.
As for the corpses of those four, they were deeply buried underground.
Returning to the main hall of the estate, the two sat down, and the Eighteen Celestial Maidens served tea. Only then did Shen Ying begin to tell Lu Zheng about the surprise attack that had occurred before dawn.
"From their actions and words, it seems they intended to capture my divine soul and take it back for that thousand-year-old Peach Tree Spirit to devour."
Shen Ying continued, "Its true form is also a peach tree. If it could devour me, it could use me as a conduit, merge the 'Peach Blossoms' as the source, and transform into a new Peach Blossom Fairy."
Lu Zheng nodded, "I see, that's the real reason it's coveting you; it wants to achieve Dao through you."
"That's probably it," Shen Ying agreed.
