Yan Bian looked at Piao's indifferent attitude and then glanced at Shen Xian behind her, who was glaring at Piao. She sighed, "You..." As she uttered the word, she suddenly remembered something. "Not good!"
Hearing Yan Bian's exclamation, Shen Xian asked, "What's wrong?"
Turning around, Yan Bian looked at Shen Xian and said, "I gave Mu An Xiao the Ji Shi Pill that Gu An once gave me. Her poison is all gone."
"....."
Xiang Nang was shocked, "So, Master cannot be resurrected."
Hearing Xiang Nang's words, Piao glanced at Shen Xian and Yan Bian. "Living in the Demon Realm, why can't your minds figure things out? Resurrection? They're dead. How can they be resurrected?"
Shen Xian looked at Piao. "You vine spirit..."
"That's just a half-baked fellow. He hasn't even stepped across the threshold of the Demon Realm. What ability could he have?" Piao glanced at Yan Bian. "You two should use your brains and think."
"You?"
"What do you mean, 'you'?" Piao looked at Shen Xian and then thought for a moment. "Yes, you only came to the Demon Realm ten years ago, so you naturally don't understand the rules here. I can understand that."
"Piao, what exactly are you thinking?"
"Nothing." Piao turned her face away.
Demon Forest.
Feng Qi Shi followed the two beams of light in the air and ran behind the monsters, asking, "What's the situation?"
Hearing his voice, the monster leader clutched his chest and slowly turned to look at Feng Qi Shi. "It's you."
"You know me?" Feng Qi Shi pointed to himself.
The monster leader said, "We've met twice."
Since the monsters all looked alike, Feng Qi Shi had no way to distinguish them.
After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Are you the monster who went to the manor that night?"
The monster leader: "....."
Turning around, Feng Qi Shi glanced at the monsters carrying the burdens, and finally looked at Mu An Xiao and the vine spirit who were fighting in the air above the lake. He frowned, "Silly Mu." As he spoke, he was about to step forward when the monster leader grabbed his arm.
"Don't go," the monster leader warned.
Feng Qi Shi turned to look at the monster leader and asked, "Why?"
"That area is full of demonic energy. If you go there, your immortal energy will be eroded."
"You know I'm immortal?" Feng Qi Shi was surprised.
The monster leader said, "I can smell it."
"....."
"We were also driven here by that Mu An Xiao," said Monster Number Two.
Feng Qi Shi looked at Monster Number Two. "What?"
"She... we affected her performance, so she used her soul sword to drive us here, and then they..."
Monster Number Two's words were interrupted by a loud explosion from over there, kicking up dust. Mu An Xiao collapsed on the ground.
The vine spirit landed steadily, standing in front of Mu An Xiao's head. "With your meager abilities, you still want to fight me."
Mu An Xiao still clutched her soul sword tightly, looking up at the vine spirit. "Do you think you're so great?" She struggled to stand up. "Not a demon, not a devil."
"You... I am a demon."
"Momo, I think you're more like a steamed bun," Mu An Xiao said, looking down at the soul sword, which was faintly glowing blue.
The vine spirit said, "The soul sword was released by me. Technically, you should be thanking me."
Mu An Xiao asked, "Why should I thank you?"
"If I hadn't released it, do you think you would still be able to fight me now?"
"....."
"Mu An Xiao, you should have died long ago."
"It's you who should die," Mu An Xiao said, once again raising her soul sword.
The vine spirit smirked and waved a hand. As streaks of red light struck Mu An Xiao's shoulders, she stumbled back several steps before falling to the ground.
"Such meager abilities," the vine spirit sneered.
Mu An Xiao coughed a few times, reached for her soul sword, and said, "I won't let you go." As she spoke, she was about to get up when the vine spirit stepped forward and stepped on the hem of her skirt.
Seeing this, Feng Qi Shi roared, "Vine spirit, take your foot off!" As he said this, he took a step forward, but Mu An Xiao quickly cast a spell towards Feng Qi Shi, freezing him in place.
The vine spirit laughed heartily at Feng Qi Shi's predicament.
"Silly Mu, what are you doing?" Feng Qi Shi shouted.
Mu An Xiao said, "Go away, don't come here." As she spoke, she struggled to support herself and twisted her head to look at the vine spirit as he removed his foot. She quickly got up, tightly gripped her soul sword, and swung it towards the vine spirit's face.
In the next instant, the vine spirit's eyes were blinded by the dazzling light from the soul sword. "You..." As he spoke, he quickly closed his eyes and retreated a few steps, then shouted, "Mu An Xiao, you are ruthless."
Seizing the opportunity, Mu An Xiao pointed her soul sword at the sky, spun it twice, then quickly stepped forward, grabbed the vine spirit's collar, and mercilessly plunged the soul sword into his body.
In the next second, the vine spirit's eyes widened, meeting Mu An Xiao's gaze. "You are truly ruthless."
"Ruthless, but not as ruthless as you," Mu An Xiao said. She abruptly pulled out the soul sword, jumped back a few steps, raised her sword again, and swung it at the vine spirit. The vine spirit quickly transformed into chains and flew into the sky.
And so, it became quiet here!
Mu An Xiao looked at the vine spirit who had disappeared into the sky with unconcealed resentment. "Damn it!" she said. Turning around, she dispelled Feng Qi Shi's immobilizing spell.
The monsters were pleased to see the vine spirit injured and retreating.
In the next moment, after the soul sword disappeared, Mu An Xiao sat on the ground.
"Why are you here?" she asked, turning to look at Feng Qi Shi.
Feng Qi Shi walked over to Mu An Xiao and knelt down, asking, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Mu An Xiao replied, then looked at the monsters gathering towards them. "I want to keep his inner core."
The monster leader stood beside Feng Qi Shi, then looked down at Mu An Xiao. "Okay, thank you."
"Why do you insist on fighting these devils? Aren't you courting death?"
This was a question Mu An Xiao had wanted to ask for a long time, but she hadn't found the right moment.
The monster leader explained, "We ate all the food in our territory and came here. Initially, they had no hostility towards us. Until one day, while we were having lunch, they suddenly became enraged and killed one of our monsters. After that, they began to slaughter us."
"It was the vine spirit who taught us collective consciousness," Monster Number Two added.
Mu An Xiao: "....."
Feng Qi Shi said, "Let me..." He helped Mu An Xiao up as he spoke. "You are all too lazy."
The monster leader nodded. "You are right."
Mu An Xiao tightly grasped Feng Qi Shi's arm. "I can't bring your brothers back to life. Now, all I can say is, you should go back to your own territory."
