Are all the love-brained villains my apprentices?

But the fact that this maidservant appeared here with the scale needle proved one thing.

The so-called "betrayal" at the beginning might have been for the present.

But when Pang Qianxue looked at the maid who had died on the ground, her heart was even more complicated than when she learned of the maid's betrayal.

This maidservant never betrayed her and Pang Qiancan.

But... Cheng Anshi and other demons who followed her also died because of her betrayal.

Pang Qiancan came forward and examined the corpse carefully, then used a handkerchief to pad the scale needle.

"What should I do with this thing if it's dead?"

"give it to me."

Pang Qianxue reached out to take it and put the scale needle away carefully.

He walked to the maid's body, whose eyes were still open, squatted down, and reached out to close the maid's eyes.

"Pack your things, we have to get out of here."

With this scale needle, the remnants will soon catch up with them, and they don't have much time.

“After that, Qiancan and I embarked on the escape.

We originally planned to go to Thousand Burial Mounds, but there were too many pursuers.

If it weren't for the appearance of this secret realm, Qiancan and I would have met with tragedy."

"Thousand Burial Mounds?"

Lin Wenyu was not familiar with this name.

Pang Qianxue explained: "Thousand Burial Mounds is what we demons call it. It was originally just an ordinary place.

During the battle that year, Immortal Venerable Wensi nearly annihilated the entire demon army there, leaving behind a reservoir of spiritual energy. Even now, the area is still filled with strong winds. Ordinary demons would be ripped to shreds if they approached, hence the name Thousand Burial Mounds.

But I have a secret treasure in my hand that can ensure that Qiancan and I are safe."

"Is there still a strong wind blowing over there even now?"

Lin Wenyu asked an abrupt question.

Pang Qianxue was stunned for a moment: "Yes."

"Is that so..." Lin Wenyu pondered for a moment, "So you didn't know about Cheng Anshi's death?"

"Yes. When I heard about the unrest in the world of immortal cultivation, Cheng Anshi was already dead, and she... also escaped."

You don’t have to think about who Pang Qianxue is referring to as “she”.

"But later I also got some information. It was said that the original demon colluded with the immortal sect that he had colluded with, and took advantage of the fifteenth barrier's most vulnerable time to break a point and lead a demon general to the immortal cultivation world.

One was to kill Cheng Anshi, and the other was to test whether it was possible to start a war.

However... for some reason, the original demon finally gave up on this move."

This coincides with what Lin Wenyu knew.

Lin Wenyu knew exactly what Pang Qianxue was confused about.

One of the reasons why the original demon gave up was that Shen Mingshe obstructed his resurrection.

As for the second one...

Lin Wenyu recalled that before leaving, Shen Mingshe called her alone.

--------

"Xiaoyu, sit down."

Shen Mingshe asked Lin Wenyu to sit down and pushed the white jade pastry on the table towards her.

"It has to be my senior brother. I kept pestering Old Man Fu, but he still didn't make it for me." Lin Wenyu said with a smile.

Shen Mingshe was helpless: "Eat quickly."

"Okay." Lin Wenyu sat down, picked up a piece of white jade pastry and put it in her mouth, "Brother, what do you want to see me for?"

Shen Mingshe said: "Xiaoyu should still remember what I said about Anshi."

Lin Wenyu nodded.

"But there is one thing I didn't mention at the time."

"What?" Lin Wenyu stopped what she was doing.

“After Cheng Anshi died, I was busy sending spiritual energy to suppress the demon bone, and you were in seclusion practicing.

I gave full authority to Dusheng to repair the barrier. But that day, I received a secret letter, and the traces of spiritual power on it had been deliberately erased.

It details the location of the barrier's damage and part of the demon clan's plan."

Shen Mingshe is still very confused when he mentions this matter now.

“I sent Du Sheng to the location mentioned above, and sure enough, I found a demon in disguise trying to sneak in.

But until now I still haven't been able to track down who sent the letter."

Shen Mingshe looked at Lin Wenyu who was frowning and thinking, and explained: "Xiaoyu, you don't have to worry too much. Although we don't know the identity of that person, since he chose to send a message to us.

I think even if they are not friends, they are certainly not enemies."

"Okay, I understand." Lin Wenyu had a vague guess in her mind, but she was not sure.

--------

Back to the present, Lin Wenyu withdrew her thoughts and had no intention of telling Pang Qianxue in front of her about these things.

She changed the subject and asked about another matter that concerned her.

"What's with that illusion?"

Pang Qianxue took a moment to realize what Lin Wenyu was asking.

Pang Qianxue hesitated for a moment, knowing that if she wanted to cooperate, she had to show enough sincerity.

Let me tell you the details of the illusion.

“The illusion that Immortal Venerable Wen Yu asked about is the secret of the demon clan—the illusion of the mind.

This illusion can reflect what people desire most.

Since Immortal Venerable Wen Yu was able to come out of the illusion, he should know the method to break the eye of the formation, which is to destroy the things he longs to cherish with his own hands.

And the illusion that creates that illusion is that string of overlapping melodies."

"Will the things in the fantasy world be brought into the real world?"
