Demon Lord slowly finished speaking and commanded, "However, the plan has changed. Heart Demon, you should go. I need to re-emerge from the Demon Prison Tower as soon as possible. You know what to do, right?"
"Demon Lord, don't worry, I understand!" Heart Demon slowly stood up and with a whoosh, disappeared into the Night Demon. The last seal's location seemed like a riddle that was about to become increasingly intriguing.
Location: Inn
After leaving Tianshan, several people returned to a small town very close to Outer Village, named Juju Town.
"Gu Senior, are you leaving already?" Xiang Xueer crossed her arms and stood at the door of Gu Liu Ma, watching him pack his belongings.
Gu Liu Ma turned around upon seeing Xiang Xueer and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I have other matters to attend to, so I must leave early!"
Xiang Xueer pouted and walked over to him, saying with a smile, "What a pity! Otherwise, I would have invited you for a three-day tour of the neighboring countries!"
"Haha! That won't be necessary!" Gu Liu Ma replied, placing his bundle under his arm. "Thank you for your kindness, but I've been away for too long and there are many patients who need my treatment, so I really must go!"
"Oh, I see. Since that's the case, I won't keep you!" After Xiang Xueer spoke, Qingtian, Li Yunyang, and others also came in to see him off.
"Gu Senior has been a great help to us. If there's anything we need in the future, we will go through fire and water for you!" Qingtian clasped his hands together. Seeing this, Gu Liu Ma quickly returned the gesture and said goodbye, "Well said! Since that's the case, I'll take my leave now!"
After a round of farewells, Gu Liu Ma finally left Juju Town. Ling Zhu watched his departing figure with a cautious expression, looking dark and deep in thought.
"Hey!" Xiang Xueer walked over to Ling Zhu, noticing his strange gaze. She didn't forget to thank him, "Thanks, Filling!"
"Ah?" Ling Zhu turned around upon seeing Xiang Xueer, quickly shutting off his charming smile. "Sister, there's no need for such formalities between us. Besides, I didn't contribute much; it was all thanks to Platypus bringing back the Thousand-Year Ganoderma."
"Isn't that right, Duck?" Ling Zhu turned around with a smile at Platypus, her eyes glinting coldly as if to say: behave yourself; if you slip up, you'll regret it.
Scared, Duck quickly exclaimed, "That's right! Big sister, all of this is my achievement; I had nothing to do with it!"
"Oh, really?" Xiang Xueer sneered lightly, quietly leaning close to Ling Zhu's ear, warning with a forced smile, "Hey, Duck, you better be careful. Don't let me catch your Fox Tail. You might evade others' eyes, but you can't fool me!"
Ling Zhu's smile immediately froze on her small face. Xiang Xueer's eyes were indeed sharp. However, since she said this, it was clear she had found no evidence.
Ling Zhu turned around and smiled brightly like a flower, "Sister, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand."
This dead woman still dares to pretend with me, hmph! I'll catch your flaw sooner or later. She reached out and grabbed Platypus by the neck, walking outside. "Duck, I have something to discuss with you. Come with me!"
"Wow, big sister, big sister, my neck is going to break!" Duck flailed its four legs in the air as it was forcibly dragged by Xiang Xueer to an open area outside the inn. It glanced at the surroundings and then quietly asked, "Duck, when you went to Bai Ling Mountain with Filling, didn't you notice anything suspicious?"
Upon hearing this, Duck broke out in a cold sweat and fell into a dilemma. If it spoke up, Ling Zhu would definitely throw it into that Luring Demon Pot. But if it didn’t say anything, it would feel guilty towards big sister. Oh my god, why must I make such a difficult choice?
"On one side is love, on the other side is friendship; either way I'm just making things hard for myself!" Duck lamented dramatically. Xiang Xueer stared at its pretentious face and finally couldn't hold back any longer. She punched it on the head: "Duck, you’re definitely hiding something from me!"
"No, no!" Duck shouted anxiously. I can't say anything; I absolutely can't say anything! If I do, I'm done for! It shook its head vigorously: "My feelings for big sister are as clear as day!"
How is that possible? This woman has spent the most time with Duck and hasn’t shown even the slightest flaw. Moreover, according to Qingtian’s words, Ling Zhu should be one of Heart Demon’s subordinates. What exactly is Heart Demon plotting?
"Alright, Duck, so you’re not going to talk? From now on, don’t follow me anymore!" Xiang Xueer said fiercely and turned to leave the open area toward the inn.
Huh? Duck was suddenly alarmed. Could it be that big sister doesn’t want me anymore? It hurriedly turned around and rushed over, tearfully hugging Xiang Xueer's leg: "Big sister, please don’t abandon me! I’ll tell you everything!"
Xiang Xueer smiled slightly; this shameless Duck would confess anything with just a little scare. She turned her threatening gaze toward Platypus: "Speak up, Duck. What are you hiding from me?"
Duck choked back a sob and was just about to speak when it looked up and saw Ling Zhu glaring fiercely at it from the window of the inn across the street. Frightened, it quickly swallowed its words.
I can’t say anything; if I do, I’ll be done for! It hurriedly shook its head: "Big sister, I really have nothing to say!"
This Stinky Duck dares to deceive me! Xiang Xueer kicked it aside: "Don't follow me anymore, you traitorous Stinky Duck! Get lost!"
"Woohoo!" Duck sat on the ground, watching Xiang Xueer leave in anger, and began to cry loudly, "Why is my life so miserable? Great Yokai is dead, and my sister doesn't want me anymore!"
Hmph! Dead Duck, if you won't tell me, I'll investigate myself. I refuse to believe that there is a wall in this world that cannot be penetrated!
Meanwhile, atop the towering snow-capped mountains of Tianshan, Lizard Spirit sat alone, staring blankly at the setting sun.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, frowning slightly as he glanced back and shouted, "Who goes there? Sneaking around, state your name!"
A man wearing a white ghost mask emerged from behind the stone wall, his black cloak covering his head, exuding an aura of evil as he walked toward Lizard Spirit. "Hello, Lizard Spirit Moruan!"
"Hmm?" Lizard Spirit stood up cautiously, staring intently at the Masked Man before him. "Who are you? How do you know my name?"
"Hehe! Who I am is not important, but I can fulfill your wish. This should pique your interest!" The Masked Man's laughter seemed to penetrate the stone walls, chilling to the bone.
"Not interested? You'd better get lost!" Lizard Spirit was in a very bad mood. Seeing that the man had no intention of leaving, he turned to walk away.
The Mysterious Masked Man saw him about to leave and leisurely said, "I can let you see your beloved: Jing Yue. Are you not interested in that?"
Lizard Spirit suddenly stopped in his tracks and quickly turned around to glare at the man before him. "What do you mean by that?"
The Masked Man's eyes revealed a cunning glint as he continued, "It seems you are indeed interested? How about we make a deal?"
