In the blink of an eye, Feng Qishi followed Mu Anxiao into the room.
Seeing them return, Lin Yan rushed forward, "This is bad."
Mu Anxiao asked, "What happened?"
"Ghosts." Lin Yan grabbed Mu Anxiao's arm.
Mu Anxiao was puzzled by Lin Yan's words and frowned slightly. She said, "Can you explain yourself clearly?"
Lin Yan trembled all over, "Not long ago, a dark shadow darted around the courtyard, and then..."
Before he could finish, Feng Qishi bypassed Mu Anxiao and quickly cast a spell on Lin Yan. Lin Yan rolled his eyes and slowly fell to the ground, passing out.
"What are you doing?" Mu Anxiao exclaimed.
Feng Qishi replied, "Those demon souls have arrived."
"Isn't this Piaoxian's territory? How did they get in?"
"I don't know." Feng Qishi crouched down and cast another spell on Lin Yan, saying, "They are looking for him."
"How do you know?"
Feng Qishi stood up, "The demonic energy outside the courtyard is very strong, but the opposite is true here. This shows that Piaoxian intentionally protected him. He must have seen something through the crack in the door."
"Why are they trying to capture people?"
"Didn't you just ask Yang Tai?"
Because of Yang Tai's past, Mu Anxiao had completely forgotten about the safety of those involved and naturally didn't ask.
She shook her head, "No, I didn't."
"How can you not distinguish between what's important and what's not?"
"I was wrong." Mu Anxiao repented.
"Don't say that," Feng Qishi sighed, bent down, lifted Lin Yan onto his shoulder, and said, "Let him rest!" With that, he walked to the bed and placed Lin Yan on it.
Mu Anxiao said, "If we leave, what if those..."
"It won't happen. I've hidden his life force. I'll cast another spell later to seal this place, and no one will find him."
"What are we going to do now?"
"Don't you have a good brain?"
"I..." Mu Anxiao looked around and said, "I don't have any extra brainpower to think about this right now. I just want to help Yang Tai solve his problem quickly. I can't spare a thought for anything else."
"Are you not going to bother with Axiá and Wanshā?"
"We can talk about it when we get back. Yang Tai listens to me, and Yang Tai is indeed wronged. Most importantly, this matter also involves my reputation, so you understand."
"I don't understand."
"You..."
"Let's use his memory to see what just happened."
"You go yourself. I'll wait here for you."
"Why aren't you going?"
"If I go, I can't speak, and it's too troublesome."
"Wait for me," Feng Qishi pointed at Mu Anxiao.
Mu Anxiao nodded.
Then, Feng Qishi cast a spell, using Lin Yan's memory to recall the past.
In a short while, Feng Qishi returned.
Mu Anxiao asked, "What happened?"
Feng Qishi's face was filled with dejection.
Feng Qishi had been fine before he left. Returning now, he had suddenly become like this. His state made Mu Anxiao concerned.
"What's wrong?" She pushed Feng Qishi's arm forcefully.
Feng Qishi replied, "Chen has been captured."
"Huh? What do you mean by that?"
Then, Feng Qishi looked down at Mu Anxiao, swallowed, and said, "I don't want to say it. You see for yourself." Saying this, he pointed his finger at Mu Anxiao's forehead.
Following that, Mu Anxiao's eyes widened, and she slowly closed them.
The scene she saw was not as intense as expected.
On the contrary, she stood behind Lin Yan and only saw the demon souls searching for someone in the courtyard.
However, in Lin Yan's eyes, the demon souls were like dark shadows.
Everything before her eyes was of no value to Mu Anxiao.
"What is it?"
Immediately, Feng Qishi withdrew his hand and asked, "What did you see?"
Mu Anxiao slowly opened her eyes and said, "I saw Lin Yan, and then I saw demon souls darting around the courtyard like dark shadows. Anyway... I didn't see Chen?"
Hearing Mu Anxiao's words, Feng Qishi suddenly realized that he had sent the wrong image to Mu Anxiao.
So, he said helplessly, "Close your eyes."
Mu Anxiao pouted and obediently closed her eyes.
Then, the moment Feng Qishi's finger touched Mu Anxiao's forehead, she saw herself, and then the scene shifted, and she saw Chen.
In the next moment, a blue light shot through Chen, and Chen was sent flying.
Following that, Mu Anxiao's gaze rapidly followed the blue light.
After the wind sped by, she saw the blue light transform into a man in blue, who then took Chen and landed in Piaoxian's courtyard.
At the same time, Piaoxian and Axiá quickly ran out of the room. Piaoxian then cast a demon spell towards the door before running to the man in blue with Axiá.
Then, they exchanged a few words that Mu Anxiao couldn't hear and disappeared.
During this time, Mu Anxiao didn't care what they said. What concerned her was that Chen had been crying the whole time, seeming very scared.
That appearance concerned her.
Slowly opening her eyes, she asked, "What happened to Chen?"
Feng Qishi lowered his hand, "That man in blue is from the demon realm. He wants Chen to be his..."
"Food?" Mu Anxiao exclaimed excitedly.
Feng Qishi's face stiffened, "No."
"Then what is it?"
"Wife."
"What? Is he crazy?"
"He only took a liking to her because he saw that I didn't like her. Earlier, Piaoxian disagreed, so he went after her with Axiá. I heard they are going to..." Feng Qishi dodged his gaze, "the demon realm."
"The demon realm?"
The same place, but different things. Mu Anxiao had originally planned to ask Feng Qishi to put in a good word with Piaoxian for a travel pass to safely pass through the demon realm and go to that place.
Now, things had become complicated again.
"What should we do?" she asked.
"There is only one road to the demon realm. If we start now... maybe," Feng Qishi shrugged, "we can still catch up."
"How is that possible? I've already lost so much spiritual energy, I have no strength to fly." As she spoke, Mu Anxiao suddenly reached out and grabbed Feng Qishi's sleeve.
Feng Qishi was confused by this, "What do you mean?"
Mu Anxiao smiled, "Aren't you very powerful? Help me out." She tilted her chin.
"I won't take you."
"If you don't take me, we won't be able to catch up to them."
Feng Qishi curled his lips. He thought to himself that if Chen hadn't pursued him, she might not have been targeted by that demon in blue. He was also responsible for this matter, so he had to set off now!
However, Mu Anxiao's spiritual energy was limited. If he took her with him, what if something happened to her when they arrived?
With these doubts, he fell silent.
"..."
"Why aren't you talking?"
"I'll go by myself."
"Huh?"
"I've thought about it. Taking you is too much trouble. Besides, Piaoxian is definitely focused on Chen right now. If I go and help, he'll agree." For Mu Anxiao's safety, Feng Qishi added, "You'll just be a burden if you follow."
