The first disciple stood up quickly and took out a talisman from his embrace. "Junior brother, I'm here," he said, and ran towards the white-robed, long-haired woman, holding the talisman.
"Senior brother, it's no use," shouted the boy of fifteen or sixteen.
Unexpectedly, the first disciple stopped and stuck the talisman to her shoulder.
At the same time, the white-robed, long-haired woman stopped advancing, turned her head to look at the first disciple, who thought he had succeeded, and said, "I didn't want to bother you, but this is your choice." Then, she turned and grabbed the first disciple by the neck.
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy said anxiously, "If you kill someone, then you..."
"Because of you, I can no longer go to the underworld. It doesn't matter even if I kill someone," said the white-robed, long-haired woman, tightening her grip.
"No," the boy of fifteen or sixteen cried out again.
Outside, Mu Anxiao, hiding in a water vat by the door, clearly heard the commotion in the woodshed. She then raised her hand and pushed open the wooden board above her head, thinking, "That wolf demon must have gone somewhere else." As she thought this, she slowly moved the board aside and stood up, only to find the wolf demon appearing before her.
"Hello," she said, suppressing her fear, and waved.
"Food, either be good..."
"Save me..." the first disciple gasped his last breath.
Mu Anxiao suddenly recalled the words of the Yin Messenger before they left. She then looked back at the wolf demon that had been chasing her for a long time, swallowed, and said, "If it's possible, I hope you can move aside. You..."
"If you dare to touch her, you're finished."
At the sound, Mu Anxiao and the wolf demon looked at the speaker together. The wolf demon's eyes widened in horror, while Mu Anxiao smiled.
"Shen Yan, you're here," she said, smiling.
The wolf demon turned and ran away quickly without a word.
Mu Anxiao climbed out of the water vat and walked towards Shen Yan, dripping water, and was about to speak when Shen Yan said, "Two lives, both yours. If you don't save them, you'll go to hell."
Hearing Shen Yan's words, Mu Anxiao put aside all her thoughts and kicked open the woodshed door. She was stunned.
"What's going on?" she asked, looking at the white-robed, long-haired woman who had released her grip, and then at the first disciple squatting on the ground, gasping for breath. She blinked her eyes.
"A step too late," Shen Yan stopped behind Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao pursed her lips. "I thought I could be cool for once, but I didn't expect..." She looked at her palm. "It was completely useless."
"Sister," the green-clothed woman stood before the white-robed, long-haired woman.
The white-robed, long-haired woman said with a grim face, "Sister, I let him go because of you, but," she turned to look at the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy hiding in the corner, "that kid, I will never let him go." xxs one
Hearing the white-robed, long-haired woman's words, Mu Anxiao quickly moved in front of the fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy and spread her arms. "You won't hurt him. His life is mine."
"A mere mortal, daring to confront me."
Shen Yan did not get involved and stepped out of the woodshed.
"Brother Shen, can I have the book now?" the man in the pale blue robe said, standing behind Shen Yan.
Shen Yan turned to look at the man in the pale blue robe and uttered two words: "No."
"Brother Shen, that is mine."
"I'll give it to you after I finish reading it."
"My master doesn't allow anyone to see it," the man in the pale blue robe said with a troubled expression.
"So what? If I read it, your master won't know," Shen Yan said coldly.
"You..."
"The sect leader of this immortal cultivation sect developed such ambition because he found this. Now many people have died here. If you are to be held accountable, you also have responsibility."
