After listening to Senior Sha's words, my mind became even more confused.

What kind of existence is this Xiliang Female Kingdom? Why would giving birth to children cause such a great upheaval in the world?

I hurriedly asked, "Senior Sha, why would it cause such a great upheaval?"

Just as Senior Sha was about to speak, Senior Martial Brother ahead suddenly shouted.

"Senior Sha, we're about to reach Xiliang Kingdom. You stay here and take care of Master. I'll go ahead and take a look."

"Alright, understood."

Senior Sha replied and quickly ran ahead with his burden.

After a while, Senior Martial Brother returned and the first thing he said to Second Martial Brother was with a smile.

"Dullard, there's something good waiting for you up ahead, hehe."

Second Martial Brother shook his big ears and said.

"You cheeky monkey, trying to fool me again. What good thing could there be for me?"

As Second Martial Brother was speaking, a sudden commotion came from the front.

I followed the sound and saw a group of women standing on both sides of the road, looking at our group. They were smiling and shouting.

"Human race, human race, the human race has arrived!"

Senior Martial Brother bared his teeth at those women reaching out their hands, while pushing open a path to protect Master.

However, Second Martial Brother, who was usually lascivious, acted out of character and puffed out his belly, loudly saying.

"What human race? This old pig is castrated, do you want me or not?"

But in my eyes, it was a different scene.

Each of these women flickered with ghostly shadows, revealing the bones wrapped inside their outward appearance and their menacing and greedy fangs.

Within those houses, a black Yin Qi was surging out, just like the black Qi that formed two giant hands in the morning.

As I was looking, a particularly interesting scene caught my eye.

Not far from the front of Yingyang Hall, there was a curved line made of stone blocks. When the black Qi reached this line, it was as if it was separated by an invisible wall, unable to approach.

Furthermore, in front of Yingyang Hall, a well was positioned exactly one zhang away from the main gate.

And from that well, a dark black light was shooting out, extremely conspicuous under the sunlight.

Seeing this, a pattern suddenly appeared in my mind, and that pattern was the Taiji diagram.

The dividing line in front of Yingyang Hall was exactly the black and white fish in the Taiji diagram, and the well was the fish's eye.

The Buddhist sect went to great lengths to create this ghostly Xiliang Kingdom, neither human nor ghost, in order to establish a stronghold on this crucial path.

What I didn't expect was that the Taoist sect had already laid out their plans early on, firmly locking Xiliang Kingdom in this place. Moreover, because of a falling fetus spring, they had to pay tribute every year.

The Buddhist sect naturally wouldn't accept this and was determined to take back what belonged to them.

I suddenly remembered that Second Martial Brother and Senior Sha had mentioned "overturning Juxian Manor" twice yesterday.

With this in mind, I realized a problem. Could it be that both Second Martial Brother and Senior Sha are working for the Buddhist sect?

But they both clearly came from the Heavenly Court, so why would they work for the Buddhist sect?

And from the information I obtained these past two days, it's highly likely that Second Martial Brother knows the origin of the Mother and Child River and Xiliang Kingdom, and they even have a clear understanding of the conflict between the Buddhist and Taoist sects.

So why would Second Martial Brother drink water from the Mother and Child River? Why didn't he go with Senior Martial Brother to Jiayang Mountain to deal with the falling fetus spring?

While I was pondering, I heard Second Martial Brother shout.

"Let's go inside quickly, don't let these women take us and make us part of the human race."

Senior Martial Brother teased, "Bajie, isn't this what you've always wanted? It's perfect for you to stay and be a breeding pig."

"You're the pig, no, the monkey! I'llcut off your monkey head!"

The two of them bickered and bantered, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

There were too many unanswered questions, and the situation seemed much more complex than I had initially thought.

As we entered the Xiliang Female Kingdom, I decided to observe and gather more information before drawing any conclusions.

Inside the kingdom, we were led to a large hall where we were greeted by an elderly woman dressed in elaborate robes. She introduced herself as the Queen Mother of Xiliang and welcomed us with a smile.

"Welcome, esteemed guests, to the Xiliang Female Kingdom. We have been expecting your arrival."

Her voice was gentle and soothing, but her eyes held a hint of mystery.

Senior Martial Brother, Second Martial Brother, and Senior Sha exchanged glances, seemingly aware of something I was still oblivious to.

The Queen Mother continued, "Please, make yourselves comfortable. We have prepared a feast in your honor. Afterward, we can discuss the matters at hand."

We followed the Queen Mother into the banquet hall, where a sumptuous feast awaited us. The hall was adorned with intricate decorations, and the aroma of delicious food filled the air.

As we sat down, I couldn't help but notice the absence of any other men in the kingdom. It was as if we were the only ones.

My curiosity grew, and I decided to strike up a conversation with the Queen Mother.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why there are no men in the Xiliang Female Kingdom?"

The Queen Mother smiled knowingly and replied, "Ah, that is a long story. You see, our kingdom has a unique heritage and tradition. We are a matriarchal society, where women hold positions of power and men are rare."

Her answer only deepened my intrigue. I wanted to dig deeper and uncover the truth behind this enigmatic kingdom.

But before I could ask further, the feast began, and the conversation shifted to lighter topics. The Queen Mother entertained us with stories of the kingdom's history and culture.

As the night went on, I couldn't shake off the feeling that there was more to this kingdom than met the eye. I made a mental note to investigate further and find the answers to my questions.

Little did I know that my journey in Xiliang Female Kingdom would lead me down a path filled with secrets, revelations, and unexpected alliances.
