s.In short, he has an icy face but when he occasionally smiles, it's incredibly stunning."Your acting may not be good, but you're just too coincidentally perfect..."What does that mean"My personal phy...Since my uncle's incident, I learned from Chong Mo's mouth that the demon contract is a mark passed down through generations of blood. These believers, if they bear the mark, are highly likely to become demon dwellings, even if this dwelling becomes cannon fodder after just one use.

Jiang Qiyun had the two patrolling yinsha restrain the living souls. My brother stripped these two unconscious men of their clothes and pants, tearing them into strips, then bound their hands and feet, shining his flashlight over them to examine them.

Indeed, right in the center of his back tattoo, there was a curved rune, resembling a faint turquoise birthmark.

"...This tattoo doesn't look like anything good. They might not even be villagers from here, just squatting in this abandoned village to keep an eye on things for their master! They probably make a living by robbing and killing people." My brother rubbed the pale blue rune with his flashlight, and the color actually deepened.

Jiang Qiyun frowned: "Someone is watching them..."

"Eh" My brother and I were startled, simultaneously dodging behind Jiang Qiyun. We mortals don't dare interfere in these disputes between immortals and demons.

A gust of wind rustled the old tree beside me, and Bai Wu Chang's sleeves fluttered gently as he descended silently from mid-air.

"Qī yé…" I patted my chest, almost getting used to being scared by Bai Wu Chang.

Bai Wuchang squinted and grinned at me, casually pulling out his summoning scroll from his wide sleeve and lightly tapping it on the living soul's forehead.

"...You're actually here" Jiang Qiyun raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Bai Wu Chang with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

This "big shot" Bai WuChang, I've known him for three to four years. What impresses me the most is his capricious "taking leave of absence."

It's not that Qiyê, being in his position, doesn't work. He is very busy in his daily life as well, but he does things according to his whim. He wears a white robe like frost and snow, very elegant and ethereal... His thoughts are also like frost and snow, hard to grasp.

"Hee hee hee... The matters that the Heavenly Emperor is interested in, this subordinate is also very interested in~~~. What kind of person is Hei Di from the north of the demon realm, he actually went to great lengths, even willing to bind his own magical powers just to walk in the human world, truly interesting..." Bai Wu Chang said with a smile.

My brother smirked and leaned in to whisper, “Who are you trying to fool… Seven Ye is a high-ranking official in the underworld. He wouldn’t have time to wander around desolate mountains and valleys on Earth. Besides… if he had this much time, he should be looking for a wife!”

Yes, the thing that could keep Qiyee from work is the whereabouts of the Lady Mu Chang. Qiyee is naturally a lazy person, he wouldn't busy himself without reason.

"Your Majesty~ why not let them escape and act as bait... This place's formation wasn't created in a short time, since Little Empress stepped into it, let's go in and have a look~~ hehe, who knows, we might discover something..." Bai Wuchang suggested to Jiang Qiyun.

Jiang Qiyun nodded slightly: "Before this seat came here, I had already sent Ye You Shen to patrol the mountain. There was no powerful aura around, Yin Su Bai... should not be here."

"Tsk tsk, you're all ready to get a glimpse of the truth, yet you're still dawdling along with your little empress on this mountain walk" Bai Wu Chang said as he waved his robe at the two Yin Cha who were dragging the soul-collecting rope, signaling them to retreat.

As the chains loosened, I saw two blurry figures gradually returning to the bodies on the ground.

"Little Lady, Elder Brother, you two step aside first..." Bai Wu Chang said to us.

"Qī Yé, did you just place a talisman on their heads What kind of curse is it" I asked curiously.

Before, Bai Wu Chang had also used this method to test me. Using it on a stranger now makes me feel a bit uncertain.

Bai WuChang narrowed his eyes and smiled: “Of course we can’t let them remember that Little Lady and Big Brother are here too, who knows these two might report to the master…”

"Is their master Yin Su Bai"

"No, the Dark Emperor is a revered god of the Northern Demon Realm, always dealing with powerful demons. He wouldn't bother with these small fry... In my opinion, these are the descendants of believers from the eighteen city lords of the Demon Realm who have made contracts with demonic creatures... That's truly tragic~~~"

Bai Wu Chang raised his sleeve to cover his mouth, his phoenix eyes slightly narrowed as he scanned the two souls who had returned to their rightful place on the ground. He gave us a "shush" gesture.

Jiang Qiyun turned to me and said, "You guys stay within my protective barrier. Don't wander off. The power of this formation is weak tonight, making it a good time to search for our way."

He paused for a moment, a mischievous glint in his eyes as he whispered to me, "It's a shame Yin Su Bai isn't here guarding this place. He wouldn't know that the Underworld has a little princess who bumps into ghosts whenever she steps outside..."

Oh my... I was just driving out of town, the route wasn't familiar at all, didn't expect to stumble upon this hidden treasure by accident, did I

"How could there be so many coincidences Aren't all these mysterious things caused by something We found Professor Zheng, and we'll eventually find this place too. I wonder if the Yin soldiers found Professor Zheng. That old man definitely still has a lot of things he hasn't told us." My brother frowned.

Woooooo.....

A gust of wind blew, sending shivers down my spine.

The two men, who had regained some consciousness, got up from the ground. Their clothes were torn apart by my brother and fluttered in the mountain wind like zombies.

I poked my head out from behind Jiang Qiyun's arm and saw the two of them clutching their heads, shaking violently. Bai Wuchang floated beside them, a wicked smile playing on his lips.

"Ah..." The man who had been yelling at me with an axe down by the mountainside hammered his head.

He has, like me at the beginning, a vague notion of an important person in his mind, but he can't bring himself to say the name.

In this dazed state, they began to walk forward, from the bottom of this ditch, in the direction Zheng expert was running.

We followed behind, and the wind grew stronger as we went forward. The ravine became deeper and deeper, making me feel terrified: "Is there really no way ahead This ravine seems... not to have been dug by humans..."

My brother whispered, "This desolate mountain range has no water source. Why would anyone dig this ravine Is it because they think the mountain path is too easy to walk on This must have been formed naturally..."

"Why would an emaciated, white corpse be placed in such a location We've lived in this city for so long, we've never heard of such a treacherous mountain." I was very puzzled. I’d already gotten used to encountering ghosts as part of everyday life, but how could I even drive into such a bizarre place"

My brother scoffed and said, “Who knows you! You can even get lost while driving with navigation... back then, you could even scratch my car when parking in a straight line… you're a unique talent, Xiao Qiao.”

Well, that's not my fault!

"Wow! This is fate! I wasn't just walking along the road, was I" My ears felt a little hot.

My brother always sticks up for me and wouldn't say anything bad about me. But this time, criticizing me in front of Jiang Qiyun was so embarrassing.

Jiang Qiyun suddenly stopped, and I ran headfirst into his back.

He tilted his head slightly, a hint of a smile on his face as he looked at me and said: “Mmm, you have some talent. You’re truly one in a million.”

Heaven, how can you say that to me Are you mocking my driving skills for being terrible or saying I bumped into bad luck as soon as I stepped out the door

I was speechless. I walked a few steps with my head down, and suddenly a strong wind blew from the front, hitting me in the face with dry branches and leaves!

"Mu Xiaoqiao." Jiang Qiyun suddenly leaned over and pinched my arm, pulling me to his side. He raised his sleeve to shield me from the wind.

"Wh-what's wrong"

"...I once said that you don't have much talent for cultivating the Dao, but you have some insight when it comes to understanding geomancy. Take a look at the terrain ahead, what do you see" Jiang Qiyun's voice held a hint of amusement as he waited for the strong wind to pass. He then lowered his sleeves.

Before my eyes lay a collapsed mountain of rubble. Looking farther, the mountains in the distance were dark and continuous, like a giant tree branch reaching out towards me! I never expected that after these treacherous mountains, there would actually be a...

"This… is... a broken… dragon, isn’t it"roactive, at least increase your endurance and stamina tenfold first.Jiang Qiyun chuckled with a muffled voice, his shoulders shaking. I'm speechless...Laughing at this moment is really disheartening,...
