“Aren't blood gu’s harmful”"Cough, this is to make you one of our people. But don't worry, the Shaman King has said that we can't give you any other kind of gu worms. The reason is that those chosen..."Old Madam She said I have demonic energy about me, perhaps it's not just from being exposed to Yin Su Bai's aura before."

Instead... he was pricked, and imbued with an otherworldly aura.

This woman in front of me doesn't seem like a good person. I always feel a sense of familiarity, but I also feel like I've never seen her before.

“ ... Your Highness has many admirers and forgets things easily. A small character like me naturally wouldn't catch your eye. Enough idle chatter, I'm looking for something, but it has suddenly vanished..." She listened warily to the sounds outside while gripping my wrist.

Her grip was incredibly strong! Her fingers weren't as flexible as a normal person's, more like hard claws locking onto my wrist, preventing me from reciting the incantation.

"What are you looking for" I asked urgently.

Jiang Qiyun's talisman glowed, covering the entire roof. She frowned slightly, seemingly considering a retreat, but her mouth never stopped moving, speaking rapidly: "I need to find the Reincarnation Orb! The last time it appeared in this world was in your Shen family's treasure pavilion. After that, I couldn't sense its energy anymore. It must have been hidden by the little empress somewhere extraordinary..."

Wheel of Rebirth

The reincarnation bead that Xiao Yinluo gave me before, which I put in the Shen family treasure vault

The fat giant serpent monster from just now was the one that appeared in the Shen family's treasure vault!

"You... you!" I was furious, gripping her wrist with my other hand and pulling myself up from the ground.

"...A monster appeared before the Shen family's treasure pavilion. Mu Wanchen felt the air chaotic, so we went to check the front mountain. There was a car... is that your car! You activated the blood pact mark on your aunt, letting the monster out from her and killing her!" I said angrily.

So this woman is the mastermind!

"Kill him Hmph…" The woman let out a cold laugh: “He's a direct descendant of the sincere followers of the demon, the progeny of the pawn. Naturally, he is also a pawn.”

This statement stimulated me.

Jiang Qiyun had just said that this blood pact mark was hereditary, passed down from father to son and mother to daughter. Although Yu Gui was a goddess, not an ordinary person, this mark was highly likely to have no effect on me and her.

But as a mother, what worries me most is probably the safety of my child.

Hearing this woman's words, I was so angry that my last nerve was about to snap!

"Pawns! You're so cruel, not a shred of cultivator's heart! Immortal and Demon paths are ultimately about cultivation! This much ruthlessness, no wonder you're all just cannon fodder for the demon gods!" I couldn't help but get angry.

The woman raised a slender eyebrow, and sneered, "What we do is none of your concern. Faiths differ, no need to speak further. Just honestly tell me the whereabouts of the Wheel of Rebirth, or else... I'll chase you relentlessly... making sure you never know peace..."

Wheel of Rebirth.

It seems that so many things began to change after the Wheel of Reincarnation appeared in the world.

This bead was brought back from the Ten Witches' Realm on Spirit Mountain by Xiao Yinluo. It was forcefully "stuffed" into her by the witch-maiden, and she has no idea what it's for.

According to Mu Wanchen, it is the soul that can lead the descendants of the witch clan to the ghost realm in the Ten Witches World of Ling Mountain.

But this bead was not something Xiao Yinluo was skilled at using. During the time it was kept in the Shen family's treasure vault, it didn't exhibit any remarkable characteristics and remained unassuming within the collection for a while.

Now it seems that all of this is caused by the appearance of this pearl in the world.

And this woman...

"How did you know about the Wheel of Reincarnation appearing in the world" I asked, puzzled.

The other scouts from the Demon Realm all wanted to open a passage, unlike her who directly asked for the Reincarnation Orb, and she even knew it was hidden in the Shen family's treasure vault! This must be an insider!

"Everyone says Little Madam is blessed with many favors and has a forgetful nature, so don't ask too much. All you need to know is that as long as you hand over the Reincarnation Pearl, I won't disturb Little Madam's life again. Let's just mind our own business..."

This talk is getting so brutal, and you're telling me we don't interfere with each other

"The Reincarnation Orb is a treasure of the witch clan, how could I possibly give it to you Besides, I have no say in this!"

The Reincarnation Orb is currently unaccounted for, and the Shen family's treasure vault hasn't found it even after clearing the rubble. This woman must have severed all leads before appearing before me.

"With our abilities, we can't even sense the aura of the Wheel of Reincarnation... Little Empress is so powerful, moving freely between yin and yang. She must have hidden it somewhere secret..." Her tone softened a bit, she curled her red lips and sneered: "We don't want to be enemies with Little Empress either. As long as we can borrow the Wheel of Reincarnation for a while, we naturally won't bother you again... You still need to serve the Divine Lord, it would be troublesome to disturb you, wouldn't it"

Besides, … your family has young and old, we don't want to make too much noise and disturb them…

Her words sounded more like a threat.

A sword qi slashed across the roof of this old building, cutting off half the tiles. Stone and dust rained down.

The woman’s hands flew up in a gesture of incantation. A shrill scream ripped through the air, and the grotesquely fat serpent monster suddenly rocketed towards the dilapidated building. It reared its head from the gaping hole, then opened its maw wide—

This is going to eat me

"Ah!" The woman suddenly trembled, loosening her grip on my wrist. I immediately drew out the Zi Xiao Ruyi, forming a sword with a spell, and put some distance between us.

Two little dolls hung on the woman's wrist. Ah-Da and Ah-Meng absorbed the surrounding negative energy, turning into menacing figures that bit fiercely into the soft flesh inside her wrist, causing her to cry out in pain and loosen her grip.

At this moment, Jiang Qiyun's sword qi slashed toward the person-headed snake, sweeping away the remaining tiles on the old building's roof. Amidst the flying sand and stones, that serpent head suddenly charged towards me!

In this dim environment, I barely had time to make out the surroundings before a surge of force knocked me back. My back slammed into the earthen wall, and my internal organs churned violently.

This snake, in order to avoid Jiang Qiyun's sword qi, actually burrowed entirely into this dilapidated small building!

This room is so small! The snake's obese body looks disgusting. Its scales are covered in bumps and lumps, writhing as it coils itself up in this tiny space. I'm squeezed against a table, pressed tight against the wall.

I'm about to be sick. This cramped, dilapidated space is crawling with a giant snake, and its head looks kinda off...

This is a person's head, but the mouth area has changed, becoming long and wide. The fangs are exposed, but amidst the stretched features, you can still make out the forehead and eyebrows. The skin seems to be scorched, covered in black and gray blemishes.

I'm practically squeezing myself into the wall, tiptoeing in the cracks, trying not to touch that disgusting thing.

In such a small space, Jiang Qiyun couldn't unleash his full power. If he struck with all his might, the house would collapse, and I would suffer too.

The silvery light above poured down, Jiang Qiyun landed on top of the talisman, with those gray-cloaked Yin officers following behind him.

He looked at the snakes and the woman huddled in this small hut with a grim expression, a hint of contempt on his face. He said coldly, "...Ants dare to dream of cultivating immortals and refining demons, to please Yin Su Bai, you really have put in a lot of effort, hidden for so many years..."

"Well, that said... does he know who this woman is"

I stared at Jiang Qiyun in disbelief. Seeing me squeezed to the back, a hint of icy anger flashed in his eyes. He said coldly: "You woman, you're really audacious, bullying Xiao Yin Luo is one thing, but even daring to touch my people..."and said: "Why did I keep you on Xiashan I don't have any spare palaces to house you wandering immortals and gods. This Ji Du Xingjun has helped me a little after all, healing him evens things out bet...
