After listening to Jun Luo Chen, then linking it to Gu Ruo Zhi’s identity, Lou Mu Yan could ascertain that the discomfort in her heart—as if there was an appearance of a nemesis—definitely rose because of Gu Yan Ran.
Fortunately she had Bing Ji and Long Yao hide in the space to monitor Gu Ruo Zhi’s every movement, otherwise it would’ve been hard to think of that woman, Gu Yan Ran.
If they couldn’t think of Gu Yan Ran, then they would’ve been unable to guess the true purpose of the Devil Race.
“It seems that the main purpose of the Hidden City is to bring Gu Yan Ran to receive the arrival of the high-level Devil Race’s split soul descending from the upper world.” Lou Mu Yan said with furrowed willow brows.
Ming Xiu nodded: “If there’s an unstable passage in the Land of Inheritance that can infuse devil force, then they should’ve long entered the core area by now.”
“By the way, about the split soul descending and needing to infuse devil force, if you want to forcibly elevate the cultivation base of the person being possessed to the level of Sword Deity, then they need to absorb a lot of elemental essence from many Sword Masters.” Jun Luo Chen interjected.
Lou Mu Yan’s eyes revealed a trace of clarity, “No wonder each time the pupils of the Six Sects are besieged by the killers of the Hidden City, they used the sinister Elemental Prison Array. So it’s because they want to collect the elemental essence from the pupils of the Six Sects.”
“It seems that the Land of Inheritance opening earlier, and it being the last time it will open is also the conspiracy of the Devil Race from the Hidden City.” Ming Xiu narrowed his eyes and said dangerously.
“It seems that this the situation now. The pupils of our Six Sects are being used as fertiliser by them.” Lou Mu Yan’s expression turned cold. The Hidden City sure had a great plan.
Ming Xiu nodded and said: “The higher the talent and the stronger they are, the purer the Sword Master’s elemental essence. The Hidden City should have planned such a scheme for a long time.”
“But they’re doomed to fail after meeting us.” The corner of Lou Mu Yan’s lips curled up. In terms of the plan to collect elemental essence, they had already destroyed the Hidden City’s arrangements.
Ming Xiu played with the Communication Talisman in his hand and asked: “Yan’er, can this Communication Talisman be restored?”
“It can.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes rolled in thought, then asked with a smile: “Wou want to lure them out to ambush us?”
“Mm, it would be good to have them lose some more elites. It would be beneficial for us after entering the core area.” Ming Xiu’s grade in talismans weren’t as high as Lou Mu Yan. He thought about it, then asked: “Can you tamper with the contents in the talisman?”
“Other Talisman Masters might not be able to, but I can.” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up and said with a confident smile.
The two tacitly guessed each other’s thoughts, and right after Lou Mu Yan spoke, she acted, changing the two Tier 10 Demonic Beasts in the talisman to only one.
After doing this, the two gathered the most reliable and strongest pupils of the Six Sects together, told them that Gu Ruo Zhi was a spy, and arranged a counterattack plan.
Two hours later, a very secretive Communication Talisman arrived in Gu Ruo Zhi’s hand.
He checked it carefully and discovered nothing unusual before opening it to read.
In another room where an array was arranged, Lou Mu Yan had already copied the contents of the Communication Talisman in Gu Ruo Zhi’s hand.
“I didn’t expect Junior Brother Gu to be a spy from the Hidden City! The Hidden City sure seizes any and every opportunity.” Zhou Bei’s rough face was filled with some killing intent. He hated traitors the most.
The man beside him who exuded a cold air was silent, then asked: “Should we kill Gu Ruo Zhi first?” Leaving such a person was a hidden danger.
This person’s name was Li Bu, and he was the one who Lou Mu Yan had snatched the Heavy Water from before. But now, he had put aside his grudges against her. It was more important to unite against the enemies.
“Why hit the grass and startle the snake. Maybe we can use Gu Ruo Zhi in the future.” A beautiful woman with a Seven-Coloured Parrot standing on her shoulders chuckled softly: “Besides, I’ve already placed a kind of colourless, odourless spiritual poison on him. When the time comes, he will surely die.”
“Junior Sister Xiao Xiu’s use of poison is truly superb. That is indeed a good idea. It will not only not hit the grass and startle the snake, but also let Gu Ruo Zhi, this traitor, to die tragically.” A Medicine Sect pupil said.
Xiao Xiu had the title of ‘Poison Lady’ in the Eight Extremes Sect. She had been at odds with Gu Ruo Zhi to begin with in the Inner Sect, so even if he discovered that she had secretly poisoned him, it wouldn’t arouse the suspicion of the other party.
“Beauty, Beauty!” Just when the several people finished the important discussion, the Seven-Coloured Parrot on Xiao Xiu’s shoulder suddenly looked at Bing Ji lustfully and shouted.
“…” Xiao Xiu really had the heart to strangle it to death. This pervert could covet whoever it wanted but had to covet Lou Mu Yan’s Seven-Coloured Parrot.
Most importantly was that a certain someone was just transformed into the form of a Seven-Coloured Parrot, but his main body was a Tier 10 Ice Luan Divine Beast—could it just call out to him randomly like this?
“Beauty, Beauty.” The Seven-Coloured Parrot continued to shout excitedly: “Wifey, wifey!”
“Bing Ji, calling you right?” Hearing that Seven-Coloured Parrot call out, the originally serious and tense atmosphere was now much more relaxed. Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and looked at Bing Ji with a tease.
She didn’t forget that this stinky thing also called harassed Ming Xiu with ‘beauty’ when they first met. Who knew the position would be swapped today.
Bing Ji’s expression turned dark instantly, and he glared viciously at the Seven-Coloured Parrot who was looking at him very lustfully and threatened: “Keep looking and lao’zi will dig your eyes out. Keep calling out, lao’zi will cut your tongue.”
“Beauty is so fierce, beauty is so fierce!” The Seven-Coloured Parrot flapped its wings and shouted again, but the infatuation in its eyes didn’t disappear. Instead, it grew even deeper—obviously it liked fierce beauties.
Usually, only Bing Ji harassed others, but he never expected that he would be harassed by a parrot that wasn’t even a demonic beast. He really wanted to slap it to death.
Seeing the killing intent in Bing Ji’s eyes, Xiao Xiu hurriedly grabbed her Seven-Coloured Parrot from the top of her head and stuffed it into her spirit pet ring, then smiled awkwardly at Lou Mu Yan: “This parrot’s been spoiled by me, that’s why it speaks so uninhibitedly like this.”
“No problems, I think your parrot is pretty cute.” Seeing Bing Ji suffer a loss, Lou Mu Yan and the other spirit pets were all gloating.
The others also couldn’t help but laugh. Xiao Xiu’s Seven-Coloured Parrot truly was a living treasure.
“Haha…” Long Yao laughed hysterically in his space: “Stinky bird, that parrot called you ‘wifey’, just obey it.”
Bing Ji’s expression was even darker, and he replied fiercely: “You shut up.”
“Beauty, beauty!” Long Yao continued to provoke.
“If you don’t shut up, I’ll get Boss Mo to clean you up.” Bing Ji said through gritted teeth.
When Long Yao heard Bing Ji’s words, he looked mischievously at Mo Yan, who was noble and elegant, lying lazily. He swallowed some saliva, “Humph, lao’zi is too lazy to bother with you, a stinky bird.”
Bing Ji’s eyes narrowed: “Don’t think I don’t know, you’re always thinking about Boss Mo. Go dream your stupid dreams, stupid dragon.”
“You all shut up.” The bickering of the one bird and one dragon could be heard by the spirit pets, and Lou Mu Yan and Ming Xiu. Mo Yan heard that they were saying more and more absurd things, so he spoke out aloofly.
Long Yao rubbed his nose and scolded Bing Ji in his heart, but he kept his mouth shut.
What Bing Ji was afraid of the most was Mo Yan, so he glared fiercely at Long Yao in the space, then also stopped talking.
Lou Mu Yan rubbed her brows with a bit of helplessness and indulgence. With these two idiots together, they were indeed even more stupid. Fortunately, Mo Yan could still intimidate them.
After another half a day, the flying magic tool flew into the core area of the Land of Inheritance.
