The moment the little girl’s fingertips touched the plum branch, the Guixu Eye of the Sea surged with Xuanming True Water. Three thousand drowned Wu Clan corpses floated to the surface, each with a fragment of a bronze arrow embedded in their chests—the arrowheads were carved with the star marks from the First Generation Patriarch’s wedding, and the fletching was wound with locks of Su Jiuli’s severed hair. The star marks on Lin Xuan’s spine suddenly peeled away, transforming into living snakes that burrowed into the little girl’s eye sockets.
