Master's Chief Disciple

In just a moment, they had reached the depths of a bamboo forest. He waved his hand and a formation appeared out of thin air.

Then he changed the position of the center of the formation, and the formation was broken, and several bamboo houses appeared.

Here, there are birds singing, flowers blooming, and bamboo fragrance everywhere. The environment is very pleasant and suitable for health preservation.

"My humble abode is simple, please make yourself at home."

His tone was easygoing yet weak, and the environment he lived in gave Mu Huayan a sense of ease and contentment.

She was secretly thinking that a demon king could live in seclusion in a bamboo forest and not care about worldly affairs. "Hey! How long have you been decadent?"

Wu Mo lay in a rocking chair without saying a word or asking any questions. The aroma of tea wafted out from the table. Mu Huayan picked up the tea he had just prepared and drank it all.

"Since you don't want to say anything, let me tell you."

"I originally wanted to come to the Falling Star Demon Realm to look for the Demon Lord, but I couldn't find any trace of him. I didn't expect to run into you by accident."

"A friend of mine has been poisoned and needs your help to cure it. It's urgent."

Hearing this, he instantly perked up, "Tell me about the symptoms? How did you get infected? How long has it been?"

After listening to Mu Huayan's description, he stood up and waved his hand. Several demon soldiers appeared. After explaining something to them, he returned to his seat and sat down.

"To be honest, I don't know the whereabouts of the Demon Lord, but you are lucky to have met me."

"Wait here for a moment. I'll go to the inner room to get ready."

Mu Huayan nodded in response. After a few minutes, he was ready, and the two of them immediately set out to the Desolate Demon Land.

He told Mu Huayan that as a demon, he could not freely enter and leave Beiyao Continent. Once a demon was found entering or leaving Beiyao Continent, he would be wanted immediately or even killed.

There is a teleportation array in the Xingyun Demon Realm. In the past, the demons could freely enter and exit the Beiyao Continent because the Demon Lord held a pair of red and black jade talismans in his hand.

However, one of the red jade talismans was kept by the City Lord Gu of Cangyun City in Beiyao Continent, so now there was only one black jade talisman on the teleportation array, which was not enough to activate the teleportation array.

"Apart from the teleportation array, is there no other way? For example, temporarily erasing the evil spirit from your body won't work?"

"We demons all rely on the demon cores in our bodies to practice, so the demonic energy in our bodies is difficult to eliminate."

She stood outside the teleportation array and pondered for a while before taking out another robe and leaving a trace of spiritual energy on it.

"This robe can conceal one's figure and aura, but I don't know if you demons can use it."

Seeing the robes handed over by Mu Huayan, he paused for a moment before raising his hand to touch them. When his fingertips touched the robes, he felt a slight numbness and instantly withdrew his hand.

She sighed helplessly. If he couldn't even touch the robe, how could she get out? Did she really have to go to Gu Lan to borrow the red jade talisman?

"How about this, you refine this magic weapon as my return gift."

She drew back the spiritual energy from her robes and passed it to Wu Mo. He nodded and used his magic energy to try to refine it.

At first, the magic weapon reacted violently, but when a large amount of demonic energy was poured in, the robe seemed to accept it and behaved calmly.

The two put on robes to cover their bodies and auras, and then tore open a space leading to Beiyao Continent. After just a few dozen breaths, they arrived at a certain alley.

Mu Huayan kept the time in mind, and it took her ten days to find the demons.

Then the two of them successfully arrived at the imperial capital from Beiyao Continent. Although it was already midnight, the streets and shops were still crowded.

During the days when Mu Huayan was away, Tang Qian wrote a memorial to His Majesty regarding the missing persons case that had occurred in the temple.

Among the missing people, three were noble ladies from the palace. These noble ladies were only future concubines chosen by the emperor.

It happened that when Mu Huayan brought Wu Mo to Tiannan Marquis's residence, she ran into Tang Qian who was handling affairs. She saw him talking to an old woman.

The woman was about 40 or 50 years old. She came out of the palace to pick up the three nobles, but she did not expect to encounter such a misfortune.

"Miss Mu, you are finally back." Tang Qian was overjoyed as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Mu Huayan nodded slightly and talked with him. It turned out that the poisonous insect in Xia Changqing's body, who was resting in the side hall, was causing troubles.

It would wake up at midnight every night to torment Xia Changqing, and also spit out a lot of poisonous fog. Han Qixi had spent a lot of effort on this.

At this time, Tang Xuanze returned to the vicinity of the Marquis' Mansion with a girl. He caught a glimpse of Mu Huayan from a distance, so he left the girl beside him and ran over without saying a word.

Tang Qian wanted to tell her something, but Mu Huayan pushed him away, saying that saving people was the most important thing now and other matters could be discussed later.

"Could this be?" Tang Qian then saw Wu Mo behind her.

She nodded and told him that he could rest assured that Wu Mo was her good friend and there was no danger, and that only he could remove the poisonous insect in Xia Changqing's body.

"Senior sister!"

She heard Tang Xuanze's voice behind her and turned around. Was it an illusion? Why did he look so much like Wen Qi at this moment?

Maybe it was because he and Wen Qi had been together for a long time and inevitably had some similarities, and they both liked to call him from a distance.

The people around him cast curious glances at him, discussing when this Second Young Master Tang had a senior sister.

He wanted to go into the mansion with Mu Huayan and the others, but was pulled back by Tang Qian, who told him that there was no point in going in and that he could not help.

The girl behind him was a little angry. Her close friend of many years was not as important as a senior sister from his sect.

"Hello, Lord Tang." Sang Qiu greeted with a smile.

Seeing him nod, Sang Qiu reached out and pinched Tang Xuanze's arm, with a hint of jealousy in her eyes. This scene happened to be seen by an old woman beside her, the palace maid.

Seeing that Tang Xuanze was still looking inside, Sang Qiu became even more angry. She deliberately stood in front of him to block the way ahead.

Tang Xuanze raised his eyebrows impatiently and said, "Luo Shu! You're blocking me."

"I told you to call me Sang Qiu, not my nickname!" She corrected him slowly while her right hand was covering his chest.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly grabbed Tang Xuanze's collar and pulled him forward, forcing him to lower his head and look into her eyes.

But he didn't care and quickly grabbed her wrist and then put his right hand around her waist, blatantly teasing her: "You are not..."

But before she could finish her words, Tang Qian mistakenly thought that this boy was going to bully her, so she raised her hand and hit him on the head, "Are you ashamed in public?"

He was so frightened that he let go of Sang Qiu immediately and quickly hid behind her. She was still immersed in the scene just now and was a little dazed.

Tang Xuanze pointed at himself with an innocent look and then looked around helplessly.

Sang Qiu still didn't realize the current situation, and only Tang Xuanze was on his mind.

She turned around and looked at him infatuatedly, raised his chin with her hand, and asked, "Tang Xuanze, what did you just say?"

Tang Xuanze was so frightened by her actions that he stepped back repeatedly. When he looked up again, he found that her cheeks were slightly red.

Seeing this, Tang Qian and the other man took a few steps back and turned their backs to them, thinking in their hearts that it is better to be young.

Unexpectedly, Tang Xuanze took the opportunity to sneak into the mansion. Sang Qiu felt disheartened when he saw him escape.

Outside the side hall, Mu Huayan and Wu Mo were discussing something. Soon after hearing the news that Mu Huayan had returned home, Han Qixi rushed over.

"Senior Sister, have you found the Demon Lord?"

She shook her head and told him the whole story. After the three of them chatted briefly, Wu Mo pushed the door open and went in to help Xia Changqing with the detoxification.

After a few minutes, he left the room looking a little tired. Han Qixi handed him a pill.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, took the pill and swallowed it, saying, "He is fine and will wake up in a few days. During this time, do not remove the formation in the house."

As he finished speaking, he opened his palm and saw a small blue-haired insect with its belly turned inside out. It looked like it was already dead.

"This poisonous insect is called Hai. It likes to eat water before entering the human body. Once it enters the body, it will slowly absorb the water in the body;"

"When all the water in a person's body is sucked out, it will eat up the person's internal organs and eventually grow into a strange-skeletal insect that can control the body;"

Then he increased his strength and tried to crush the poisonous insect floating in his palm. A piercing sound came from the insect's mouth, and something was squirming in its stomach.

Wu Mo threw the poisonous insect into the air and burned it to ashes. He then explained to the two that the strange noise just now was the resistance of another insect in the stomach of the poisonous insect.

"Starting from tomorrow morning until he wakes up, feed him two bowls of warm water every two hours."

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Xuanze happened to walk in. After seeing that they had finished, he followed Mu Huayan's words and placed Wu Mo in the Marquis' Mansion.
