Xing Yuan blinked and took the jade box, opening it.
"What is this? A bug?" Xing Yuan pointed at the small cocoon inside the box, asking curiously.
Mo Li Yue's face was cold, her hands behind her back, her eyes serious. "This is a Gu worm from Miao Jiang. Since you are no ordinary person, you must have heard of the power of Gu worms."
She lowered her gaze and continued, "However, I can give you another chance. As long as you truthfully reveal your identity and origin, and considering your care for me during this period, I can let you leave the demonic cult."
She had almost been fooled by Xing Yuan earlier, but upon careful consideration, Xing Yuan had only spoken a few words of pity, none of which were related to her identity. Therefore, she still suspected her.
Although Mo Li Yue hated being deceived, if it were her, she could also back down and give her another chance to confess truthfully.
Xing Yuan was stunned, her brows furrowed into a knot.
Her identity was not a big deal. As a martial arts master who had retired immediately after reaching that level, she was highly respected by some. She had even seen a famous painting with her name on it in the demonic cult, but the portrait bore no resemblance to her.
It was said to be created by a renowned artist. ←_←
So, if she told her "sister" her true age was even older than hers, her "sister" would probably find it even harder to accept! After all, who could accept their sweet and soft sister suddenly becoming a highly respected elder?
In any case, Xing Yuan couldn't, so she closed her eyes and swallowed the cocoon in the jade box directly.
Xing Yuan's movements were so swift that Mo Li Yue didn't even have time to stop her.
Mo Li Yue silently watched Xing Yuan for a long time, then finally took out another identical jade box from her person and swallowed the cocoon inside, which was a whole circle larger than Xing Yuan's.
Xing Yuan's eyes were full of shock. What was going on? Was she unable to figure it out?
Mo Li Yue rushed into the room, gulped down some water, and then said to Xing Yuan with a serious expression, "The two Gu worms we swallowed are mother and child Gu worms, with a connection.
The child Gu cannot be separated from the mother Gu by a thousand li, otherwise, the one who swallowed the child Gu will die with blood flowing from all seven orifices. Since we have both swallowed the Gu worms, you must follow me this time."
A hint of surprise flashed in Xing Yuan's eyes, but she quickly hid it, nodded obediently, and then followed closely behind Mo Li Yue.
She had originally planned to stick close to her sister, so this was exactly what she wanted! But who invented this Gu worm? Truly talented. Before she left, she would find more Gu worms to pack and take away.
However, Mo Li Yue felt a bit regretful.
This pair of mother and child Gu worms was something she had specifically sought out. This type of Gu worm greatly benefited the owner's martial arts. The only regret was that it was a pair of mother and child Gu worms.
One child and one mother had to be together day and night. If either of them died, the Gu worm would be useless.
She had originally planned to give this pair of Gu worms as a reward to a couple, but who would have thought that in a fit of anger, she would use it to threaten Xing Yuan, and Xing Yuan, like a fool, just ate it.
To prevent her beloved little sister from being with others, she could only reluctantly swallow the mother Gu. This way, if she wanted to find another pair of Gu worms, it would take a lot of effort. Kuai Shu Ge.
Xing Yuan had escaped a disaster and obtained the Gu worm she adored, making her extremely happy.
This was now safe. Even if her sister was truly angry, they had gone through so many worlds together, and her sister had always treated her very well. She definitely wouldn't be able to bear to see her die. So, even if her identity was exposed later, her sister wouldn't be able to abandon her.
Xing Yuan chuckled secretly. When Mo Li Yue looked back, she immediately put on a serious expression, appearing innocent and pure.
Over the years, she might not have gained other skills, but her acting skills had improved day by day.
Of course, there was someone who was willing to be her audience.
Mo Li Yue, worried about her younger brother's safety, traveled day and night, and ordered the members of the demonic cult to rush to An Yan Town from different directions for support.
She was never someone who acted recklessly. On the contrary, she was very good at utilizing her advantages.
Xing Yuan silently watched Mo Li Yue methodically assign tasks and prepare contingencies for all possible outcomes, secretly sighing: Life of lying flat is truly blissful!
A few days later, they arrived at An Yan Town. Several demonic cult members, upon receiving the message, quickly came to meet them. They took many detours and entered a mansion.
They poured out all the information they had gathered during this period.
According to their informants within those sects and the information obtained through bribery, those people were pursuing Mo Li Yan because of a treasure map.
However, they couldn't figure out what the treasure map looked like or what it contained, despite their best efforts. They could only infer from their pursuit of Mo Li Yan that this treasure map was extremely important.
Seeing Mo Li Yue's confused gaze, Xing Yuan's heart stirred. If there was any treasure map in the world that could drive everyone crazy, it could only be the legendary one related to the descent of an immortal.
This was a long time ago. She had only obtained fragmented information from some people after the martial arts convention. Later, when she reached the level of a martial arts master, standing at the pinnacle of martial arts in this world, she truly understood what it meant to be guided by an immortal.
This was because in her youth, she had dreamt of an immortal's phantom, and all her martial arts were derived from him.
Legend had it that the treasure map recorded the place where the immortal descended, and the immortal had hidden a world-shattering martial arts manual there.
However, as far as Xing Yuan knew, this treasure map had always been kept by a family. Now that the treasure map had appeared, this family was either gone, or they had forgotten their ancestral teachings. Either way, it was extremely regrettable.
Xing Yuan began to fiddle on the ground. Her divination skills were indeed not very good, and they were hit or miss. However, when she had no direction, it often gave her good advice.
The few people were attracted by Xing Yuan's actions, but Mo Li Yue suddenly raised her eyebrows and said to the people in front of her, "You can go back now! Pay attention to the town, and inform me immediately if there is any news of the young master."
"Yes! Saintess." The few people bowed respectfully, then pushed open the door and quickly disappeared.
"What are you doing?" Mo Li Yue asked, looking at Xing Yuan's strange movements with interest.
Xing Yuan replied without looking up, "I'm carving an Eight Trigram formation. Although my divination skills may not be accurate, with this Eight Trigram formation, the probability of success in my divination will be about fifty percent. We can try."
