Subsequently, the red-dressed woman and the pink-dressed woman’s eyes, which had been glowing red, vanished in that instant.
At the same time, the green-dressed woman attacked.
As their memories reassembled, the red-dressed and pink-dressed women widened their eyes and swiftly dodged to their sides.
The next second, the green-dressed woman’s strike landed on empty air. She stopped in place, her sword gripped tightly in one hand, and turned to glance at the red-dressed and pink-dressed women who had retreated to either side. She shouted, “Liars,” then turned and ran towards the red-dressed woman.
Seeing this, the red-dressed woman hurriedly drew her dagger and began to counter the green-dressed woman.
The clash of weapons reverberated. Mu Anxiao halted, observing the red-dressed woman’s back, noting her apparent restraint, and then looked at the green-dressed woman’s unyielding, malevolent expression, as if she wished to kill her. Mu Anxiao’s eyes widened, and she muttered, “What’s going on?”
Just as Mu Anxiao was pondering this, the pink-dressed woman approached her. “You are also an immortal.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Anxiao’s body stiffened. She turned sideways, her brow furrowed as she looked at the pink-dressed woman with vigilance. “Don’t you remember me?”
“I remember you. You just protected my sister.” As she spoke, the pink-dressed woman clutched her injured arm.
Mu Anxiao lowered her gaze to the silver needle in the pink-dressed woman’s hand and probed, “Do you know who you are?”
“I am a cultivator, and now I am a Minor Immortal. And you…”
“Your poison is cured?” Mu Anxiao exclaimed in surprise.
“You mean the ointment.”
Mu Anxiao nodded.
The pink-dressed woman turned to look at the green-dressed woman, who was still fighting the red-dressed woman. “Sister has always been impetuous. When we were injured that day, the carriage driver suddenly produced three bottles of ointment. My second sister and I didn’t believe the driver, but eldest sister insisted he was honest and wouldn’t lie, so we trusted him. Little did we know, after applying it, we were all poisoned. To avoid harming mortals, we came here.” She sighed.
“Your eldest sister, is she the green-dressed woman?” Mu Anxiao asked tentatively.
“Yes. She used up that entire bottle, but we only used a little. It all ended up like this. If Master finds out, he’ll punish us.”
Mu Anxiao glanced over, realizing that the poison in the two sisters had been cured the moment the green-dressed woman called them liars. Because of this, they had lost the ability to resist the green-dressed woman.
Although Mu Anxiao didn’t want to see the green-dressed woman harmed by them, for some reason, after the red-dressed and pink-dressed women returned to normal, she felt a pang of loss.
It was as Jia had said: the poison was cured by an immortal. Each immortal poisoned had a different method of detoxification.
She surmised that their detoxification method was to see the truth. Through awakening and realization, they gained the strength to be cured.
With this thought, she sighed softly and began to ponder how to help the green-dressed woman detoxify.
“…”
Seeing Mu Anxiao’s sudden silence, the pink-dressed woman asked, “What’s wrong?”
Hearing this, Mu Anxiao snapped back to attention. She turned and glanced towards Feng Qishi’s location, saying, “Go hide over there.”
Listening to Mu Anxiao, the pink-dressed woman also looked towards Feng Qishi’s direction and said, “No, I have to save…”
“This poison is difficult to cure. As you said, your eldest sister has been exposed to the most poison, so the toxins accumulated in her body are the most. You can’t defeat her, let alone save her.”
“But…”
“Go on.” Mu Anxiao knew that the pink-dressed woman would never be able to attack the green-dressed woman, so she decided not to tell her the method of detoxification.
“Can you help cure our eldest sister’s poison?” the pink-dressed woman asked.
Mu Anxiao’s eyes darkened. “I can.” She replied this way to reassure the pink-dressed woman. In truth, she hadn’t come up with any plan yet!
Hearing Mu Anxiao’s words, the pink-dressed woman felt a sense of comfort. She then turned her head and inadvertently looked at the red-dressed woman, who had collided hard with a tree. She exclaimed, “Not good.”
Hearing the pink-dressed woman’s cry, Mu Anxiao quickly turned her head and said, “You go save your second sister, and I’ll draw your eldest sister away.”
“Can you… do it?” the pink-dressed woman began to worry.
“You trusted me, and now you ask this. It’s truly disheartening.”
“I think you haven’t even thought…”
“Don’t worry, I already have my plan.” Mu Anxiao said, gripping Feng Qishi’s long sword and running directly towards the green-dressed woman.
At the same time, the red-dressed woman, exhausted, sat down against a tree.
The green-dressed woman, sword in hand, stopped in front of the red-dressed woman. “You liar, are we sisters?”
“Wake up. We have already become immortals. You…” The red-dressed woman had never seen the green-dressed woman like this and was genuinely afraid. “Wake up!”
“Wake up? It’s you who needs to wake up. You…”
“Don’t you want my spiritual energy? Let’s have a match, how about it?”
Mu Anxiao knew that the red-dressed woman could not reason with the green-dressed woman, and if this continued, the green-dressed woman would only become more deluded.
Therefore, for the red-dressed woman’s sake, she had to offer herself.
Hearing this, the green-dressed woman’s eyes darkened. She quickly turned to look at Mu Anxiao. “You dare to come again.” She narrowed her eyes.
“If I win this time, you give me your life.” Mu Anxiao said this deliberately, intending to find another method during the practical combat.
The green-dressed woman sneered upon hearing this. “You? Want my life?” As she spoke, her gaze sharpened, and she immediately raised her long sword.
Mu Anxiao had expected to have to say a lot of nonsense to provoke the green-dressed woman, but surprisingly… after just one sentence, she had hooked her.
Thinking this, Mu Anxiao’s lips curved into a smile. She turned and ran in the opposite direction of where Feng Qishi and the others were.
Instantly, the green-dressed woman rapidly pursued Mu Anxiao.
Seeing this, the pink-dressed woman quickly ran to the red-dressed woman’s side, bent down, and extended her hand. “Get up quickly.”
The red-dressed woman immediately reached out, took the pink-dressed woman’s hand, and stood up. She looked in the direction Mu Anxiao and the green-dressed woman had run. “Not good.”
“Don’t worry about ‘not good’ yet. That immortal has a plan.” The pink-dressed woman had completely come to trust Mu Anxiao.
“Really?” The red-dressed woman began to worry about Mu Anxiao’s safety.
“Really. Let’s go,” the pink-dressed woman said, embracing the red-dressed woman as they walked towards Feng Qishi and the others.
Moments later.
Feng Qishi escorted the pink-dressed and red-dressed women to a safe zone.
Seeing this, Jia quickly approached them and began to heal their injuries.
Lou Yi, afraid of being seen, turned his back.
Feng Qishi continued to stare outside, his concern growing for Mu Anxiao’s safety.
