o the Hou Residence, there are so many people of the same age coming that it’s guaranteed to find someone you fancy. All those who can attend the Hou Residence Spring Banquet have similar backgrounds...The black opening resembled a monster's gaping maw, hungrily awaiting its prey. The darkness within was oppressive, devoid of any glimmer of light.

“Honglian, Wuyou, are you ready”

The ripples turned back and asked the two people.

At this time, both Honglian and Wuyou had serious expressions on their faces. Before the three of them even entered, they were ambushed by evil spirits. This mission was more dangerous than they had imagined.

"We've already come this far, how can we not go in!"

Honglian touched the blood jade bracelet on her wrist and said in a low voice.

"Amitabha! To allow evil practitioners to wreak havoc goes against the original intention of our cultivation."

Then Wuyu continued.

It's no longer just about helping ripples anymore. This involves a battle between good and evil, and the other side is so despicable, using ordinary people as bait and even summoning all the surrounding evil spirits. This is no ordinary mission.

"This time I'm the target, they're going after me."

This time, ripples walked to the front. The red silk ribbons on their wrists were still tied, and this time, Wuxiang monk was at the back.

After the three of them walked into the cave mouth, a stone gate fell down, completely sealing off the entrance.

The three ripples all heard the movement behind them, but none of them turned around. At this time, whispers came to their ears, as if many people were hiding in the shadows observing the three of them, and they whispered from time to time, as if they were assessing them.

This time, Lian'ri used her Xuan force to draw a protective barrier. Then, she drew a ray of relic power from her brow and injected it into the formation. After the formation was activated, she pressed it onto the ground where the three people were standing.

The formation shifted, growing larger until it encompassed all three individuals within. Then, a pale golden light emanated from it, illuminating the space they occupied.

Wuyou looked at Lianyi in surprise. He hadn't expected that a Xuanmen practitioner would actually have the Buddhist relic to protect them. Relics exist in the world, and there are very few of them. They are things that are hard to obtain even if one seeks them out.

Worry-free wanted to ask a question, but was interrupted by the mournful cries that rose and fell.

About ten meters away from the three of them, a figure was rolling on the ground in pain, with cries of agony coming from his mouth. The startled cry that had exposed their entrance must have been his.

The light emanating from the ripple-drawn formation illuminated the scene, allowing both Hong Lian and Wu You to see the man wailing on the ground. He was a tall man dressed in black – Gao Yang.

"Goodness gracious, calling him a white-eyed wolf is truly no exaggeration!"

Hong Lian said with great disdain.

"Amitabha! He is now suffering from the backlash, should we intervene to stop it"

With a carefree smile, Wuyou clasped his hands together in prayer and uttered a Buddhist chant before asking.

"No need, this is what he deserves. He played with fire and got burned."

The ripples said in a cold tone.

Yu Mei-li was now somewhat mad. She knew her own continued existence depended entirely on that woman's mood, which is why she made Gao Yang cry out in pain the moment she retaliated against him, exposing their location.

The objective is to lure that woman into the set trap. No matter what, she has to take a gamble. As long as those people can kill her, then she still has a chance.

Yu Mei-li transformed into black smoke, surging into Gao Yang's body, and then bursting out again. Every time she left his body, she would take away a sliver of his life force to nourish herself.

When she saw Master Wu watching coldly from the side, she accelerated her extraction of vitality from Gao Yang in order to lure him to the designated location. Gao Yang visibly aged before his eyes.

"Beauty, please! Stop and let me go!"

Gao Yang spoke in broken sentences, he already regretted it. When Yu Meili returned, he shouldn't have readily agreed to re-sign the contract with her. But he craved power too much and ignored the fact that she was stronger than him.

"You actually want me to vanish, just to avoid being retaliated against Too bad you forgot! You're not the Gao Yang you used to be anymore! Now you're just a pathetic little ant!!!"

Yu Mei-li roared, constantly piercing Gao Yang's body, causing him to weaken little by little.

Rill felt a little impatient and rubbed her ears, saying,

"Yu Mei'li, be a little faster. I don't want to hear his screams anymore. Is he stalling on purpose to lure us in"

Yu Mei's beautiful plan was exposed, she could only transform into black smoke, enveloping Gao Yang completely. In less than five minutes, Gao Yang, lying on the ground, turned into a white-haired centenarian, also on the verge of death.

"Bold evil spirit, to actually harm ordinary people."

Ripple feigned a drink, then raised her hand to form a seal, launching a stream of Xuan force that entered Yu Mei's body.

"No!"

Yu Meili dodged, only managing to cry out a word before a golden light erupted from within her body, purifying her bit by bit. The pain of being burned and cleansed was unbearable, causing her to howl in agony.

Her pale face kept shifting, now a woman, now an old man, now a girl, and then back to her original form.

"How many demons did she devour"

Even Hong Lian was surprised.

She wanted to regain control of her body, but she bet on the wrong thing!

Ripples said coldly.

In her past life, the other party succeeded, turning this world into a realm of demons. She was the only one who was both a demon and human, reaping the benefits from both sides, showing that her ambition was not small.

In this life, she never allowed Gao Yang to succeed from the start. Without the support of immense mystical power, and with her having planted even more powerful demonic energy into him, she effectively expelled Yu Mei'li, the demonic spirit, and even severely wounded her.

It is estimated that Yu Meili keeps devouring evil spirits to heal her wounds and return to Gao Yang's side. Unfortunately, the unpurified evil spirits contain resentment and obsession which cannot be removed, constantly affecting Yu Meili.

Just like now, the foundation is unstable, so it's vulnerable to attack.

In Yu Mei-li's agonizing screams, she faded away, little by little, until she was gone completely.

Congratulations, tasker! You have resolved the catalyst for disaster on this interface. Keep up the good work!

The sound of the stone mill came at just the right time.

The ripples were a bit unexpected. This evil spirit went offline rather quickly.

Because of Yu Meili's disappearance, the people hiding in the shadows dared not act rashly, after all, Wu Lianyi and the others had not officially stepped into the trap they had set.

"Jade-green, I know you're here. Come out yourself!"

The ripples looked around in a circle, and said in a loud voice.

The sound echoed in the cave, but there was no answer.

Ripple shrugged, unconcerned. She pulled her wicked dagger from the space within her grasp and tapped it twice. In that instant, a scream of agony echoed from the depths of the dark cavern.

Jade Bihua now also followed Gao Yang's footsteps, but she was tormented by the evil energy that was being refined within her body. The black evil energy surged back into her meridians, colliding with her Xuan force. It was like pouring water on hot oil, instantly boiling over. Both sides couldn't suppress each other, turning Jade Bihua's body into a battlefield and starting a tug-of-war. Unfortunately for Jade Bihua, she eventually couldn't hold back and screamed in agony.he knew he couldn't turn his back on him now. He just followed the other person's strength and pulled him to the archery range outside of school."What brought you here"Sheng Hui pushed his glasses and...
