The emblem of the Blue Dye Clan could be recognized at a glance, and without needing to say anything, this person must be Gu Liu Ma. He swiftly descended from the tree, took a step forward, and bowed, saying, "Gu Senior, you are hard to find!"
The man set down the basket in his hands and looked at Qingtian with a smile, "Oh? What do you need me for?"
Li Yunyang and Lian Cheng Xue exchanged glances, surprised that they had found Gu Liu Ma so easily. They quickly jumped down from the tree. This man appeared to embody the essence of a recluse living in a paradise, which confirmed Qingtian's assessment; he was indeed here to gather herbs.
"Gu Senior, here's the situation!" Lan Ran Qingtian explained everything without reservation to Gu Liu Ma. Afterward, the three men bent down and earnestly pleaded, "We hope Gu Senior will lend us your assistance!"
Seeing their eagerness, Gu Liu Ma hesitated for a moment and stroked his beard thoughtfully. "The girl you mentioned is the third miss of the Ouyang Family. Since we are both Exorcists, I am naturally willing to help!"
"Really?" Qingtian looked at him excitedly. Gu Liu Ma's expression seemed to indicate he was considering something; his face did not look particularly good. He stepped forward and asked, "Senior, is there something difficult to say? Please let us know!"
"Oh!" Gu Liu Ma quickly pulled back his thoughts and shook his head. "That's not it. However, I must personally examine this Miasma poison before I can draw any conclusions. So, without further ado, I will prepare my things, and we shall set off tomorrow!"
"That's great!" A heavy stone finally lifted from Li Yunyang's heart. He never expected to find a medical sage; it seemed that Xiang Xueer's Miasma poison could be cured. Now he could only pray that Shirley would be able to wait for their return.
Gu Liu Ma said he would go back to prepare the medicine, so Qingtian and the others waited for him to return. Calculating the time, tomorrow would be the fifth day; as long as they could arrive by then, it would be fine.
At the entrance of a cave on Shili Slope's outskirts, Serpent Empress transformed back into her human form and was preparing to return to her secret base. "Damn Heart Demon! To appear at this time when I haven't succeeded yet—how infuriating!"
She cursed under her breath and punched the stone wall in frustration before turning to walk deeper into the cave. Suddenly, a figure appeared before her inside the cave, cloaked in black with a familiar Demon Mask obscuring its face. She was startled and quickly took a step back. "W-What? How did you find me?"
"Hmph!" The reappearance of the Masked Man truly sent chills down her spine. This guy held her Snake Gallbladder in his hands; if she didn't comply with him even slightly, the consequences would be dire.
"Serpent Empress, it seems you have forgotten the task I assigned to you!" The Masked Man turned around, his cold eyes glaring through the jagged mask. He extended his hand, and the Snake Gallbladder immediately reappeared in his grasp.
"Ah!" The Serpent Empress let out a cry, writhing in pain as the Snake Gallbladder was tightly squeezed. She broke into a cold sweat and exclaimed, "Master, I-I already went to assassinate the Witch, but that damned Heart Demon blocked my way!"
"Heart Demon?" The man narrowed his eyes, studying the Serpent Empress's face as if trying to discern any hint of deceit. If she told even one lie, he could easily end her life.
The Heart Demon was the most capable general under the Demon Lord. The man slowly released his grip on the Snake Gallbladder, stepped forward, and lifted the Serpent Empress's chin with one hand, a ghostly smile on his lips. "You better put in some effort, Serpent Empress. If I see that woman named Xiang Xueer alive in this world before dawn tomorrow, I will immediately end your life. You better listen carefully; this is your last chance!"
"Yes, yes!" The Serpent Empress dared not utter a word of defiance and nodded vigorously. Once the proud master of the dark Cavern, she now found herself in such a desperate situation.
A gust of black wind swept by, and the Masked Man vanished. The expression on the Serpent Empress's face twisted in agony as she frantically pounded the ground. "That Witch, that damned Witch, everything today is because of you! I will definitely kill you."
Meanwhile, Platypus, who had finally managed to move Xiang Xueer to another inn, was nearly exhausted. He plopped down on the ground and turned to look at the sleeping Xiang Xueer. "Sister, you are so fortunate, knowing nothing about how close we were to being devoured by the Serpent Empress for a free three-day tour."
"Mm!" Xiang Xueer groaned softly, her face contorted in pain. At that moment, her mind was also battling against another presence within her body: the Witch.
"What’s wrong? Why aren’t you running?" The Witch coldly laughed for the hundred and eighth time as she appeared before her. Exhausted both physically and mentally, Xiang Xueer found it impossible to escape this woman's entanglement; she would always appear before her like a ghost.
"Damn it! How long are you going to keep this up, Witch? What do you want?" Xiang Xueer shouted at her with fierce red beast-like eyes. Since I can't avoid you, then I won't run anymore; after all, it's such a small space—let's just settle this one-on-one.
"Hmph!" The Witch looked at her with disdain. The contemptuous expression made her feel uncomfortable. Crossing her arms over her chest and tilting her head, she shook it repeatedly. "Look at your own expression; you're still so useless. Every time danger approaches, it's always me who steps in. Without me, you would have died countless times already!"
Since my birth and throughout these months of crossing over, I've been treated as worthless so many times. Just when I finally regained a bit of confidence, this annoying thing is here deliberately provoking me again.
Xiang Xueer stared at the Witch with her large black eyes for a long time, then suddenly sneered, "Heh heh heh, you're not that impressive. What qualifications do you have to lecture me?"
"What did you say?" The Witch's brows immediately furrowed as she glared at Xiang Xueer and shouted, "What do you mean by that?"
"Isn't it true?" Xiang Xueer's eyes looked at her with discomfort as she circled around the Witch repeatedly. "As the dignified Demon Realm Princess, you actually share this useless body with someone like me. Are you doing better than I am?"
The Witch's expression darkened instantly as she scolded Xiang Xueer, "What do you know? If it weren't for my father being sealed in the Demon Prison Tower by that damned Cold Autumn Rain, I wouldn't have to lower myself to use a human body as a vessel."
So that's how it is? The Demon Lord is sealed in the Black Ancient Tower, and it was sealed by the Exorcist Cold Autumn Rain a hundred years ago. This Witch found a human body as a vessel, apparently to hide her identity.
Xiang Xueer's mind raced quickly as she figured out the reason behind it. However, this Witch had already obtained her own body last time; why did she choose to return it? Was it because she encountered danger and feared her identity would be exposed?
"What are you really afraid of?" Xiang Xueer fixed her gaze on the Witch's red pupils. "Or to put it another way, what conspiracy are you plotting? You can't fool me because we are one entity; I can see all your thoughts."
"You can see?" The Witch looked at Xiang Xueer in surprise. She had intended to extract information from her but didn't expect this woman to actually believe it.
"Since you can see, then I have nothing to hide. Killing you would be easy; keeping you alive might still be useful!" The Witch sneered a few times, finally losing interest in entangling with Xiang Xueer. "The Nine Seals have already been broken seven times; only two remain. Once my father breaks the curse of the Demon Prison Tower, the three realms will once again fall into our hands."
The seals are being lifted? No way! Xiang Xueer was quite shocked by this: "What do you mean? The Nine Seals have been broken seven times? Is it because too much time has passed that the seal is about to break?"
