Moonlight and wind

After listening to this, Qu Xuanyue looked up at Shan Zimo.

The two of them looked at each other and understood each other's feelings without words.

Shan Zimo nodded imperceptibly.

"I can try." Qu Xuanyue said softly, but the general was shocked by thunder, "But I can't guarantee success. After all, rescuing Miss Man'er just now was just an accident..."

The general knelt down again without hesitation: "As long as the curse can be lifted, even if my soul is torn apart, it is worth it! Miss Que, you can just test it on me!"

Shan Zimo suddenly frowned: "Wait, Miss Que, this is too dangerous! Man'er alone has consumed a lot of your blood and internal energy, not to mention the tens of thousands of withered people waiting for you to treat them, how much blood do you have for them!"

Qu Xuanyue looked at the yellow mist that was gradually dissipating in the distance and said softly, "But this is their only chance."

She turned to the general and said, "I need to prepare. Once I have recovered some of my internal strength, we will begin at noon tomorrow when the Yang energy is at its peak!"

The general was so excited that he was shaking all over, and his decayed body was almost falling apart: "Thank you Miss Qi! Thank you!"

He turned to Man'er, "Man'er, we...we finally have hope!"

Man'er burst into tears and held her husband's dry hand tightly.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the withered body of this man, outlining a sad yet hopeful picture.

Inside the main hall of the prefect's mansion, the candlelight flickered, illuminating everyone's solemn faces.

Ximen Gui rested his hands on the table, his head lowered, his voice full of self-blame.

"Master Shan, Miss Qu, I, Ximen Gui, feel so ashamed of you two. I thought I could solve the problem of the withered people after I broke through my martial arts, but I didn't expect that I was still powerless..."

Yun Fei stood with his arms folded, watching coldly: "Master Ximen, you took great pains to get Shan Zimo to help you break through your martial arts, and now you say you want to give up all your inner strength. What are you planning to do with this back and forth?"

Ximen Gui raised his head suddenly, his eyes bloodshot: "Master Yunfei! Although I, Ximen Gui, am not a gentleman, I will never joke with the lives of the people of Shahuang City!"

He turned to Shan Zimo and knelt on one knee, "Young Master Shan, I am willing to help you with my life's cultivation, just to save the withered man from his misfortune!"

The atmosphere in the hall was stagnant for a moment.

Shan Zimo seemed to be out of the matter.

He stood in front of the window, the moonlight shining through the shadows of the trees, shining on his angular profile.

The Fiery Fox in his arms curled up into a ball, its red fur dull and lifeless - that was the result of him deliberately suppressing it with the Snow Shadow Divine Art.

"Tomorrow's viciousness..." Shan Zimo muttered to himself, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the little fox's back.

His mind kept replaying the cloudy but hopeful eyes of the withered general and his zombie-like tribesmen.

Suddenly, there was a sharp pain in the palm of my hand.

Shan Zimo then realized that his internal energy was out of control while he was distracted, and the cold energy of the Snow Shadow Divine Art surged towards the Fiery Fox like a tide.

The little fox raised his head suddenly, and his golden pupils suddenly shrank——

"boom!"

A ball of bright blue flame shot up into the sky, instantly illuminating the entire hall!

The flame flowed around the Fiery Fox like running water, the blue color was eerie and cold, completely different from the previous red flames.

"What is this?" Yun Fei took a half step back, his sword already three inches out of its sheath.

Shan Boyu laughed out loud: "Hahaha! Look at how ignorant you are! This is my young master's Snow Shadow Magic that changed the spiritual root characteristics of this spirit beast!"

He puffed out his chest proudly, "Yang turns to Yin, hardness turns to softness, who else in the world can do this except my young master?"

Shan Zimo was speechless for a moment, he didn't even know he had such a capability. It seemed that he now had many hidden skills as a Martial God!

When he thought of this, Shan Zimo laughed out loud unconsciously.

Qu Xuanyue stepped forward quickly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wonder: "Young Master Shan, you can actually change the innate attributes of spirit beasts?"

She stretched out her delicate hand and stopped it three inches away from the blue flame. "This flame... is very strange. It has the shape of fire and the quality of ice."

Shan Zimo himself was stunned.

He pinched the Fiery Fox's armpits with both hands and lifted the little fox in front of him.

The Fiery Fox blinked its big eyes and licked his fingers flatteringly. Blue flames overflowed from the corners of its mouth, but with a hint of coolness.

"interesting……"

Shan Zimo's eyes flashed, and he turned to look at Qu Xuanyue, "Miss Qu, since the Snow Shadow Divine Function can change its characteristics, can your Willow Poison Heart Sutra also work on it?"

"Exactly!"

Shan Zimo put the little fox on the table, and it immediately turned around happily, leaving blue flames on the table like frost flowers. "When this little fox is fully fired, it can easily cover the entire army of withered people. If it can be integrated with the characteristics of the Willow Poison Heart Sutra with healing power..."

Ximen Gui stood up suddenly, quite excited: "Great! The inner strength of the spirit beast is already pure. If it is combined with the two great skills, it may really be able to purify the curse of the forbidden technique!"

Yun Fei snorted coldly: "What a wild idea! How can a spirit beast be a toy that you can modify as you please? What if..."

Before he finished speaking, the Fiery Fox suddenly leaped up, drew a blue arc in the air, and landed steadily on Yun Fei's shoulder. The blue flames enveloped half of Yun Fei's body like flowing water, but not even a strand of his hair was burned.

"This..." Yun Fei froze in place, feeling a cool breeze penetrating his body, which swept away all his fatigue from the past few days.

Shan Zimo grinned: "It seems that it likes you very much, Brother Yunfei."

Qu Xuanyue smiled softly and then said seriously, "Master Shan, this method is indeed feasible. But I am afraid that I cannot change the little fox's internal strength by relying on my internal strength alone. I still need Master Shan's help."

"It's okay. Besides, I have received the kindness of Madam Que, and I also have some of the skills of the Willow Poison Heart Sutra in my body, which will come in handy now." Shan Zimo waved his hand, "As long as it can save those withered people, why not give it a try?" He looked at the gradually whitening sky outside the window, "It's almost dawn, we have to hurry."

The Fiery Fox seemed to understand what he said. It jumped from Yun Fei's shoulder back to the table, holding its head high and chest puffed out. Blue flames formed a gorgeous halo around it.

Shan Zimo and Qu Xuanyue smiled at each other and stretched out their hands at the same time.

The silvery-white light of the Snow Shadow Divine Art and the emerald green aura of the Willow Poison Heart Art intertwined in the air, slowly enveloping the Fiery Fox.

The little fox howled towards the sky, and a hint of green light began to emerge from the blue flames...
