He frowned and looked at the person, only to find it was the infatuated Lizard Spirit, whose green eyes were fixed on the Witch's physical body in the hands of the Serpent Empress. Xiang Xueer thought he was going to rush over to snatch her away, but after taking just two steps, she heard a 'thud' as the Lizard Spirit fell to the ground, pale-faced.
Huh? What’s going on? Xiang Xueer blinked and turned to look at the Serpent Empress, who glared at her and shouted, "What are you looking at me for? How would I know he would be here?"
"Tch, aren't you supposed to be all-knowing? Even that Masked Man can't escape your keen eyes!" Xiang Xueer teased her deliberately, then turned around and noticed that the Lizard Spirit was still lying motionless on the ground, groaning in pain.
Xiang Xueer cautiously approached him and saw a large patch of blood on his back in the darkness. Could he be injured? She quickly helped him up and asked, "Hey, what happened to you? Who hurt you?"
The wound on the Lizard Spirit's back had bled excessively, making his face even paler. After a moment, he said, "It was that guy in the mask. I was waiting for you to return in that cave when unexpectedly the Masked Man tried to take Jing Yue's body. I fought him, but he is very powerful and his identity is unknown. I decisively lost the battle. After that, I searched for his whereabouts here but found nothing. That's why I came here to find you."
It's that Masked Man again; this guy is completely unpredictable and his identity is unknown—what a troublesome fellow. Xiang Xueer glanced at Jing Yue being carried by the Serpent Empress and said, "Don't worry; we've already brought her back. My goal is the same as yours: everyone should go their separate ways and let her return to her own body quickly without causing me any more trouble."
The Lizard Spirit turned to look at Jing Yue being brought back and finally felt relieved. However, as he turned his head, darkness enveloped him and he fainted. Xiang Xueer helplessly patted his face and said, "Hey, big guy, can you not faint right now? I'm injured and can't move you!"
This short time has been chaotic; what is going on? Xiang Xueer felt exhausted from all the turmoil. When she returned to the inn room, there was no one there—not even Ling Zhu.
"Are you kidding me?" Xiang Xueer sighed heavily. "After all this effort to bring back the Witch's body, these guys are nowhere to be found. I don't have the ability to make the Witch roll back into her body by herself."
"Hey, what are you planning to do? When will you handle what you promised me?" The Serpent Empress began urging her as she wanted her to help eliminate that damned Masked Man immediately.
She covered her forehead and shouted, "Ah! Can you stop rushing me? My head hurts; please let me think quietly for a moment."
The Serpent Empress impatiently turned away and sat down. Finally, Xiang Xueer calmed down and began piecing together everything that had happened recently: first, with the death of the Heart Demon, the seal was broken; then there was the last safeguard—the Azure Wind Sword currently guarded by Feng Qingyang. When she was previously in a daze, it seemed she heard the Demon Lord's voice telling the Witch to look for something called Fire Rat and Wolf King.
"Hey, Serpent Empress, have you heard of Fire Rat and Wolf King?" Xiang Xueer turned her head and asked. Upon hearing this, Serpent Empress inquired, "You don't know about Fire Rat and Wolf King? What about Exorcist?"
Tch, sister is from another world, what do you know? Xiang Xueer glared at her with annoyance, and Serpent Empress began to explain slowly: "Back in the day, the Demon Lord had four generals: Heart Demon, Black Dragon Saint Lord, and alongside them were Fire Rat and Wolf King. Heart Demon was a strategic type of warrior, best at formations and planning. As for Black Dragon, Fire Rat, and Wolf King, in terms of combat power, they are absolutely top-tier in the demon realm."
"That goes without saying. Last time, in order to deal with Black Dragon, two of the Holy Ten Exorcists along with Li Yunyang and Lian Cheng Xue barely managed to take down Black Dragon. This shows that the abilities of these four generals are anything but ordinary!" As Xiang Xueer spoke, she wore an expression that suggested she was recalling painful memories.
"Hmph! What do you little girl know!" Serpent Empress perked up immediately, standing up to explain slowly: "The Black Dragon is nothing. Back in my day, I was also a master of the Underworld Realm, commanding over a hundred demons. However, when facing off against Fire Rat and Wolf King, I never won even once. Just thinking about those two makes my teeth itch with hatred."
"No way?" Xiang Xueer swallowed hard. This must be considered top-tier beast level. She couldn't help but ask again, "Why? Is it really that they are that strong?"
Serpent Empress's eyes turned cold: "They are indeed powerful, but what's most formidable are the subordinates of Wolf King and Fire Rat. Each has an army of a million summoners. However, there has been no news from them for over a hundred years; no one knows where they have hidden."
A million troops, oh my god! Xiang Xueer smacked her lips: "No way! That damned Demon Lord sent the Witch to find Fire Rat and Wolf King. Fortunately, I have control over this body. If those two show up, it might really lead to a world war."
Serpent Empress frowned slightly: "What did you just say? The Demon Lord sent the Witch to find Fire Rat and Wolf King?"
"Yes," Xiang Xueer nodded. "Although my consciousness wasn't very clear before, I still heard it. The Demon Lord told the Witch this, but didn't specify their exact location. Or perhaps the Witch knows where exactly Fire Rat and Wolf King are."
After listening to Xiang Xueer, Serpent Empress's face suddenly changed dramatically as a bad premonition surged in her heart: "Hmph! It seems that we won't need the Witch to search for them. Once news of the unsealing of the Demon Prison Tower spreads, those two won't be unaware; it's very likely they already know."
Xiang Xueer sneered: "Well then, it looks like we really are heading for a world war!"
"Ling Zhu, where do you think the older sisters went?" At this moment, footsteps approached from outside the door. Soon after, Ling Zhu and Duck returned to their room at the inn. As soon as they pushed open the door, they immediately noticed that Serpent Empress was inside the room.
"Ah, Serpent Empress!" Upon seeing the Serpent Empress, Duck's fur stood on end, and Ling Zhu's expression darkened as he shouted, "Hey, damn snake, what do you want?"
The two turned to look at the bodies of Lizard Spirit and Witch Jingyue lying side by side on the bed, then noticed Xiang Xueer standing nearby, covered in injuries with her arm in a sling. They immediately assumed it was the work of the Serpent Empress.
"Serpent Empress." Without hesitation, Ling Zhu rushed over, ready to fight. Duck was even more reckless; he snatched the Luring Demon Pot from Ling Zhu's hands, opened the lid, and aimed it at the Serpent Empress, shouting, "Damn snake, you hurt my sister; watch as I take you down!"
"Hey, say something!" Serpent Empress frowned as she dealt with Ling Zhu's attack while being cautious not to get sucked into the Luring Demon Pot and turned into sludge.
Xiang Xueer didn't expect these two to start fighting as soon as they entered. She hurried forward to stop them: "Hey, wait, don't fight! Let me explain!"
This time, Duck displayed remarkable bravery by blocking Xiang Xueer, now emboldened with a magical artifact in hand. He shouted recklessly, "Sister, quickly move aside! Even Lizard Spirit has been defeated; I'm the only one who can save you now!"
"Ouch! My back!" Xiang Xueer was knocked aside by Duck's hefty body and fell to the ground with a thud. Her back ached painfully, causing tears to stream down her face. Why wouldn't these two listen? They just jumped straight into a fight.
"Damn Vine Demon, I'm here to help!" Serpent Empress explained while dodging attacks, but Ling Zhu wouldn't let her finish: "You think we would believe your lies?"
