The woman in green said, "I've been told that often before; I'm used to it." As she spoke, she lowered her head and began to sob.
Feng Qishi: "..."
The woman in green thought Feng Qishi would comfort her upon seeing her cry.
To her surprise, Feng Qishi remained standing in place, showing no reaction, which made her feel awkward.
"Why aren't you comforting me?" she asked.
Feng Qishi: "You cry one moment and laugh the next; who knows what you're thinking? In any case," he pointed at the blue light, "you can just stay quiet inside there!"
The woman in green pouted. "...."
Seeing that the woman in green was about to start again, Feng Qishi deliberately changed the subject. "By the way, you still haven't told me your name."
The woman in green: "If you comfort me, I'll tell you."
Feng Qishi: "Then forget it." He turned his back.
Immediately, the woman in green, feeling it was pointless, said, "My name is Lü Hua."
"Lü Hua?" Feng Qishi repeated, turning back to look at the woman in green. "Is that your name?"
"That's the name I had when I was human."
"Oh." Feng Qishi nodded.
Lü Hua said, "Is my name unpleasant?"
"A name is just a label; there's no such thing as pleasant or unpleasant."
"You..."
Feng Qishi interrupted. "You should just rest well! As I said before, as long as you don't deceive Mu Shazi, she will help you."
"Mhm."
Seeing Lü Hua so cooperative, Feng Qishi said nothing more. He turned and sat down again.
Feeling it was pointless, Lü Hua also sat down.
On the other side.
Mu Anxiao entered the area Zhang Yan had described.
"This is it," she thought. She stopped in place, looked around at the trees, and said nothing, nor did she ask anything.
At the same time, the first woman, standing on a tree and looking down, scanned Mu Anxiao and spoke. "It was the demon soul that sent you here."
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao frowned and tilted her head. "If you have the nerve, come down and talk."
The first woman: "..." She chuckled.
Mu Anxiao clenched the soul sword in her hand. "What are you laughing at?"
The second woman: "If she wants to laugh at you, she will. What are you asking?"
It came without any effort!
Mu Anxiao thought she would have to search for a long time to find them. Now, they had shown themselves.
She figured this saved her a lot of trouble.
The third woman: "Why have you stopped talking?"
Mu Anxiao: "..." She cast a sidelong glance.
The fourth woman: "She's scared."
Mu Anxiao's lips curled into a smile. "...." She thought, the fourth one.
"She's definitely scared," said the first woman.
Mu Anxiao twitched her ears and immediately identified the speaking women as the first and... the fifth. The fifth hadn't appeared yet.
Thinking this, she glanced at the sides with her peripheral vision, thinking, here comes the wind.
The next moment.
After the gust of wind passed, Mu Anxiao quickly turned to look at the woman in white, with disheveled hair, standing not far away. "..."
The woman in white smiled sinisterly at Mu Anxiao. "..."
Mu Anxiao showed no fear and said, "Five of you now."
The fifth woman grinned. "That guy told you."
"...." Mu Anxiao narrowed her eyes and, clenching her soul sword, asked, "Do you know Yang Tai?"
However, the moment Mu Anxiao mentioned Yang Tai, the fifth woman frowned. "You know him?"
"I am the Yin Messenger who apprehends him. You lot..." Mu Anxiao said coldly, "are you the old pros who disfigured him?"
The fifth woman: "I didn't expect you to come after us."
Originally, Mu Anxiao just wanted to use this statement to observe their reactions, not expecting the women before her to tell the truth.
Now it seemed she had saved herself even more trouble.
"I came myself," she said.
The fifth woman frowned. "You came yourself? Then I can only say you're meddling too much!"
"You want to kill him?" Mu Anxiao asked directly.
The fifth woman's thoughts were clear. "Since you're here, it's evident he's already dead."
Mu Anxiao smiled wryly. "Your mind really is quick." As she spoke, she looked at the fifth woman again.
The fifth woman: "That being the case, we can only make sure his soul is scattered." As she spoke, white light flickered in her eyes.
Seeing this, Mu Anxiao said, "You hate him very much."
"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't have died." The fifth woman's eyes were filled with hatred. She then walked deliberately in front of Mu Anxiao. "Since that's the case, you'll be our hostage."
"Hostage?"
"Yes, we'll use you to exchange for him, which will surely be much easier," the fifth woman said, and suddenly reached out her hand towards Mu Anxiao.
Following this, Mu Anxiao took two steps back and said, "As expected of humans, your minds are indeed nimble." As she spoke, she raised her soul sword.
The fifth woman glanced disdainfully at the soul sword in Mu Anxiao's hand and said, "We are human souls; we are not afraid."
Mu Anxiao smiled. "You've heard of this?"
"Of course."
"You've heard of it, yet you don't know its power."
"What?"
"The soul sword can not only kill demons but also kill human souls like you who carry malevolent thoughts," Mu Anxiao snorted coldly. "If you want me as a hostage, you're still a long way off."
"You?"
"Die." Mu Anxiao said, quickly retracted her soul sword, and summoned the silver rope.
At this moment, the fifth woman couldn't keep up with Mu Anxiao's rhythm. "Eh? You're not using the soul sword?"
Mu Anxiao: "Using the soul sword on someone like you is a bit of a waste." As she spoke, she drew the silver rope sharply.
The fifth woman: "..." She stood in place, looking calm.
The next moment.
The silver rope struck the fifth woman heavily.
This time, the fifth woman was stunned. "How can this be?" she said, looking down at her arm, which faintly emitted a white glow.
Mu Anxiao said, "Don't underestimate me too much." As she spoke, she retracted the silver rope and turned to look at the four women who had jumped down from the trees, sighing. "It seems this will be five against one."
The fourth woman: "Who exactly are you?"
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao turned her head to look at the fourth woman, impatiently saying, "I've already told you, why do you keep asking?"
"You..."
As the fourth woman uttered just one word, the fifth woman raised her head and looked at Mu Anxiao, asking, "Where is he now?"
"I've already said it, why do you keep asking?"
"Don't lie to me. I already know about his escape from the underworld ten years ago."
"You know?"
"You are Mu Anxiao. Yang Tai deeply resents you. If you help us, we will definitely help you kill him," the fifth woman, after being whipped by Mu Anxiao, decided to brainwash her. "After that, it will have nothing to do with you."
"You're trying to bribe me in a roundabout way."
"No," the fifth woman shook her head, deliberately winking at the four women standing behind Mu Anxiao, and continued, "I sincerely want to help you."
Mu Anxiao calmly watched the fifth woman's mischievous glance and snorted coldly. "Unfortunately, I've caught him again. It's useless no matter how much you say." As she spoke, she tightened her grip on the silver rope.
