Anyway, as far as he knew, the Hei Qingshan Mountains had always been a neutral area, and no one had ever tried to win them over.

In the past, Captain Lang Wu also felt that it was good that there was no one above them, and that their village was a self-sufficient system.

But now that the ancient formation's energy was about to run out, and strange occurrences were lurking outside, coupled with the sudden loss of one of the village's three captains, he, as the captain, couldn't help but think more and look for a way out.

The Extreme Ice Sect was one of the ways out, but unfortunately, he hadn't been able to latch onto this strong backer yet, and was still in the stage of trying hard to win them over.

Another way out was Lord Han...

Captain Lang Wu looked at Fang Yue, who was pacing back and forth in a somewhat agitated manner. Suddenly, he looked up and said, "Captain Lang Wu, do you know how to解除 (jiechu) the curse of the Yangxu Ghost?"

"You'll have to ask Divine Doctor An about that. How would I know? Perhaps you can ask Divine Doctor An."

Captain Lang Wu shook his head. He was a martial arts expert, but not a physician. The difference between the two was still very big.

"Divine Doctor An..."

Fang Yue sighed.

If Divine Doctor An had a solution, he would have already解除 (jiechu) his cursed state.

Divine Doctor An was not omnipotent. He could solve common and familiar curses.

But for rare curses like the Yangxu Ghost's, especially those involving a special scent marker, he was also a bit棘手 (jishou) (棘手: thorny, troublesome).

It wasn't that he couldn't solve it, but it would take time to study.

According to Divine Doctor An, researching a new solution to a curse would take at least three months.

If it really took three months, Fang Yue would have already automatically解除 (jiechu) the curse.

"Perhaps, you can find Lord Ni Dongmei?" After hesitating for a moment, Captain Lang Wu said again.

"Ni Dongmei? I just fought with her, and now I'm asking her for help. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"An adult of that level wouldn't care about such small matters."

"Alright, then I'll go ask. Where is she now?"

"I've arranged for her to stay at the inn. Her body is a clone, and she won't move around casually unless something happens."

"Okay."

Fang Yue asked for directions and quickly made his way there.

When Fang Yue arrived at the inn, he realized that although Captain Lang Wu hadn't arranged for Ni Dongmei to stay in a large inn, a small inn also had its advantages. One was that it was quiet, located in a relatively remote area with no noise. Second, it had a refined style, small and exquisite, with a unique flavor. Third, it was easy to rent the entire place to avoid too many prying eyes.

After greeting the guard team members guarding the entrance, Fang Yue entered the inn.

He didn't know until he went inside, and he was shocked when he did.

The inside was spotless, as new as a newly opened inn.

The level of cleanliness was so high that even a cleanliness freak couldn't find fault with it.

"Who's there?"

Whether it was the sound of footsteps or something else, Fang Yue had just entered the inn when he immediately alerted Ni Dongmei upstairs.

She swung her ponytail and quickly came to the stairs, looking down with a slight frown.

"It's you? What are you doing here?"

"Lord Ni, I have something I want to ask you."

"Hmph! I don't welcome people who practice the Liehuo Sect's techniques, even if they are rogue cultivators. I won't see you off, just go back."

With that, Ni Dongmei turned to leave, but Fang Yue's next sentence immediately made her stop.

"Wait! Lord Ni, the matter I want to ask about has a major connection to tails!"

Tails?

Ni Dongmei turned back to look at Fang Yue, "What is it?"

Seeing that it was working, Fang Yue quickly told Ni Dongmei about the Ruoyun Stone Land.

"So what? If you want to become a member of my Extreme Ice Sect, you must not only have the courage of ten thousand men, but also great luck. Martial arts is about defying the heavens! If you can't overcome this little difficulty, what great achievements can you achieve in the future? This is her trial. If she survives, the clouds will part and the sun will shine. If she doesn't survive, then her fortune hasn't arrived."

Damn it! Is this woman so ruthless?

Fang Yue quickly said, "You can't say that. The appearance of the Yangxu Ghost was completely unexpected. Their intervention has obviously greatly increased the difficulty of the trial. You want to accept disciples, not collect corpses. There is a limit to human power. Once that limit is crossed, the gap is not something one can determine on their own. When you had not yet entered the martial arts path, could you ignore so many Yangxu Ghost groups?"

"I..."

Ni Dongmei wanted to scold Fang Yue loudly, but after recalling it, her tone paused.

"I couldn't."

"Then you expect Wei Ba (Tail) to be able to? Isn't that a double standard!"

"Hmph! Then what do you say should be done? The matter has already happened, the difficulty of the trial has already increased, and I can't interfere."

Fang Yue was stunned for a moment.

From what she meant, her clone's power couldn't sweep away so many Yangxu Ghost groups?

But then Fang Yue realized that the number of Yangxu Ghost clans was indeed a bit large, and they were all scattered in small groups. No matter how strong Ni Dongmei was, she was still just one person, and there was only so much she could do.

"Actually, it's not impossible. The matter is very simple. I've killed Yangxu Ghosts before, and I've been cursed by them. I suspect that such a large-scale Yangxu Ghost attack is aimed at me. So if you can help me解除 (jiechu) the curse on my body, the Yangxu Ghosts will naturally disperse when they lose their target..."

Fang Yue hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly felt that Ni Dongmei's eyes were a little strange.

"You, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You said, the Yangxu Ghosts came for you?"

"Yes..."

Ni Dongmei narrowed her eyes and smiled for the first time, "Then wouldn't the problem be solved if I killed you?"

So, so scary!

Smiling women are so scary!!

Subconsciously taking a step back, Fang Yue smiled drily, "Solving the person who caused the problem instead of solving the problem, that's not quite right."

"I think it's fine." Ni Dongmei took a step closer, "I heard you're a refugee. I haven't killed a refugee before, so I'd like to try it."

Cold sweat ran down Fang Yue's cheek.

This woman... didn't seem to be joking.

He could feel a faint killing intent slowly gathering.

"Wait, wait! Is it okay? Is this really okay?"

"What?"

"Is it really okay to use such an [important] clone power on me?"

The killing intent faded away.

Ni Dongmei frowned.

"Consider yourself lucky." She rubbed her temples with her hand, "Reach out your hand, I'll take a look at the curse you're under."

Fang Yue was overjoyed, knowing that she was going to help him solve the problem.

Reaching out his hand, Ni Dongmei's cold and elastic fingers immediately touched Fang Yue's wrist.

This touch made Fang Yue shiver involuntarily, feeling inexplicably strange.

It was as if what was touching him now wasn't a person, but a团 (tuan) of water, a团 (tuan) of extremely cold flowing water maintaining a waterfall movement!

What exactly was her clone made of?

And her martial skills could actually cause curses...

For a moment, Fang Yue was lost in thought.

He didn't snap back to his senses until Ni Dongmei called him twice.

"How, how is it, can it be solved?"

"It's not a big problem, just an ordinary aura-based curse. Do you have a Ruoming Bird here? Just let it peck at it a few times."

Ruoming Bird? What is that?

Fang Yue looked懵逼 (mengbi) (懵逼: muddled; befuddled; a state of confusion).
