"Hahaha!" Xiang Xueer scratched her head a bit embarrassed, not expecting to have so many friends: Li Yunyang, Lan Ran Qingtian, Lian Cheng Xue, and Duck. Now there was also Ling Zhu; the feeling of being reborn was truly wonderful.
As the two were talking, Ling Zhu's expression suddenly darkened. "However, you need to be careful. The Demon Lord is secretly plotting something, and that Heart Demon is very cunning."
Xiang Xueer nodded and asked, "By the way, Ling Zhu, do you know about the sealing matter? The Heart Demon mentioned it in front of me before, and later the Witch also brought it up, saying that the Demon Lord is sealed inside the Demon Prison Tower with nine seals tightly binding him. However, it is said that only two seals remain now. That Witch even said that I should thank for my help. What does that mean? When did I ever come into contact with the seals in the Demon Prison Tower?"
"What? The Witch really said that?" Ling Zhu looked at her body and asked, "When did you see the Witch?"
Xiang Xueer touched her chest. "Last time after I was poisoned by that Miasma, I could meet with the Witch in the same space. I think it's because our souls are in the same body, so we seem to resonate."
"I see!" Ling Zhu finally understood. "As far as I know, the Demon Lord indeed sealed his seals from the Demon Prison Tower onto nine demons. Because the Heart Demon has been very tight-lipped about these matters, I know very little. However, one thing is clear: the Black Dragon Saint Lord from Underground City is the eighth seal. Now that the Black Dragon is dead, only one seal remains on the Demon Lord in the Demon Prison Tower!"
"What? The Black Dragon is the eighth seal?" Xiang Xueer was shocked; this news was simply explosive. She couldn't help but furrow her brows as her mind began to filter through past events.
If the Black Dragon is the eighth seal, it means that seven other seals have also been broken. From her journey to Outer Village to exorcise demons, she had killed various demons along the way: the Incubus from Mist Village, the nine-tailed Fox Demon from Jibei Village, mermaids from Illusion City, Taotie from Beast Village, Bakemono from Exorcism Village, Thousand Demons and Ten Thousand Ghosts, and finally the Black Dragon Saint Lord from Underground City.
"Damn it! That despicable Demon Lord has been playing us all along!" Xiang Xueer slammed her fist on the table in anger. Indeed, all eight of those demons had seals on them; no wonder that scoundrel Witch was so grateful to her. She risked her life and almost died; it turned out to be a trap set by those demons.
Ling Zhu listened to her words and nodded. "You're right; these demons are truly despicable and shameless. But fortunately, the last seal has not been broken yet; that Demon Lord is still obediently staying in that Demon Prison Tower."
Yes, if this ninth seal were truly broken and the Demon Lord returned to the world again, it would be catastrophic. Xiang Xueer stood up and took a deep breath. "Fortunately, we haven't committed an unforgivable sin yet; otherwise, even dying a thousand times wouldn't be enough for forgiveness!"
Ling Zhu lowered her head again, falling into deep thought. Xiang Xueer understood her feelings and patted her shoulder. "Don't worry; I will do my best to help you find your husband!"
"Really? Are you really willing to help?" Ling Zhu looked up at Xiang Xueer in disbelief, raising an eyebrow. "I've had a stroke of good luck recently; this is a once-in-a-century occurrence. I rarely get this passionate. Since I've promised to help you, I will definitely do my best, so don't worry!"
"That's great! Thank you so much!" Ling Zhu's eyes filled with tears of gratitude, and then she looked seriously at Xiang Xueer. "But before that, you must start practicing hard!"
"Practicing?" Xiang Xueer was momentarily stunned. "Practicing what?"
"Since you've decided to confront the Heart Demon, your current state is absolutely not enough. So from now on, your training will be up to me!" Ling Zhu stood up excitedly, pulling Xiang Xueer toward the door. "Let's not delay; let's start today!"
At the door, as Lian Cheng Xue stepped out, he felt someone staring daggers at his back. Turning around, he saw Li Yunyang's piercing gaze fixed on him, while Lan Ran Qingtian stood silently in place. The relationship among the three friends suddenly became very strange and subtle.
Sigh! It seems there's no need to explain; the more I explain, the messier it gets. Shirley really shouldn't drag me into her quarrels, he thought to himself in frustration. Suddenly, the door swung open with a bang, and the three turned to see Ling Zhu pulling Xiang Xueer out, with her other hand still holding her weapon: an AK47 and a Crossbow.
"Hey, Ling Zhu, just let me go! I don't want to practice in this heat!" Xiang Xueer grimaced and shook her head vigorously. Ling Zhu would not let her off that easily. "No way! You were poisoned by the Black Dragon's Miasma before; it's clear that your training isn't enough. So from now on, you must train hard!"
It was surprising that this was happening—Xiang Xueer was going to train? And Ling Zhu was dragging her along? Before the three men could react, Ling Zhu pulled her out.
In an open area outside, several gunshots rang out. Ling Zhu walked up to a scarecrow a few hundred meters away, looked at the target marked with a heart and nodded. "Very good; indeed very accurate. I bet I could hit it even with my eyes closed."
Xiang Xueer looked up at the sun overhead; it was already midday in early September and she had to practice. She quickly found a shady spot and hid there. "Oh no, stop practicing! It's too hot!"
She sighed dramatically: "I want ice cream, I want air conditioning, I want handsome men!"
Ling Zhu walked over and looked at her lazy demeanor, shaking her head. "You can't be like this. In your current state, if the Witch wants to take your body or kill you, it would be effortless—she could solve you with just a finger!"
Witch, Xiang Xueer suddenly remembered that her greatest enemy was not the Heart Demon or the Demon Lord, but the Heart Demon that resided within her own body. The most terrifying part was that the enemy was always by her side, yet she had no way to guard against it.
She quickly got up from the ground; she did not want to be strangled to death by Witch while sleeping that day. That's right, I need to become stronger.
"What should we practice? Speak up!" Xiang Xueer stood up and raised the Crossbow in her hand. This was what she excelled at: "Sniping, close combat, tactical strategies, that's all. I can't do what Li Yunyang and Qingtian can do with their few-word incantations!"
"You are an Exorcist, yet you don't know these things!" Ling Zhu smiled slightly after hearing this. "It's not that you can't do it; it's just that no one has ever taught you!"
That was true. Xiang Xueer stroked her chin; surviving this journey had already been tough enough, and she had never thought about practicing or anything like that. Besides, she had already learned the one-word incantation for the Serpent Whip without anyone teaching her.
Thinking of this, Xiang Xueer couldn't help but smile and said, "This is it! I've decided to start learning exorcism magic from now on. Who knows, maybe one day I can even become a Saint Ten!"
The two women exchanged smiles. Ling Zhu placed all her hopes on Xiang Xueer. Only if she became strong could there be a chance to save her husband, so she naturally spared no effort in sharing everything she knew and teaching her.
On the other hand, in order to live better in the future, Xiang Xueer decided to learn exorcism magic. One day, she would definitely settle things with Witch. This was all for one reason: to survive.
To develop an exorcism magic unique to Xiang Xueer, the two women had already spent two days in that open space without returning home.
