At this moment, Qiu Mengmeng, who was standing to the side, asked like a curious child, "Master, so there really is a Satan in this world. What does he look like?"

Was it really a seven-headed serpent, as described in the Bible?

Upon hearing this, Ye Zi raised her hand and scratched her head with a puzzled look: "No way, in novels, isn't Satan always a charming and handsome man?"

The twelve-winged archangel Lucifer, having fallen into demonic possession, shouldn't have looked so terrible.

"Speaking of which, I have a bold guess."

Everyone turned their attention to Yang Yiyi, eager to hear her guess.

Then Yang Yiyi clenched her right fist and coughed lightly under her lips.

Then she said in a serious tone, "I mean, is it possible that the nine-headed serpent of China had one of its heads knocked off by the Monkey King Sun Wukong, and then fled to Japan, becoming the Japanese monster-slaying Yamata no Orochi?"

Then, the Yamata no Orochi lost another head and fled west, becoming the seven-headed serpent Satan!

Everyone fell silent, clearly stunned by Yang Yiyi's words.

But then I thought about it again, and although they're not in the same mythological system, it seems to make some sense, though I don't know why...

Gu Xiao rubbed his temples, looking at the three people in front of him with a disdainful expression, like a little adult.

Seeing this, Ye Zi put her hands on her hips and looked down at Gu Xiao: "Hey, brat, what's with that look? Did I say something wrong?"

Gu Xiao sighed, crossed his arms, glanced at Ye Zi, and then said with a helpless expression, "Forget it, I won't bother with you uncultured people."

Listen up, I'm only going to give you this science lesson this time.

There are actually two main interpretations of Satan.

One of these is that Lucifer is the demon Satan, and the image of his fallen queen is that of a giant serpent with seven heads.

Secondly, it means that Satan is a general term for all demons, not referring to any one particular demon. Do you understand?

After saying that, Gu Xiao proudly raised his head at Ye Zi.

Lu Ming interrupted the discussion, saying, "Everyone, let's not worry about Satan and Lucifer for now."

The most urgent task is to find that strange woman; we can't let her continue to drain human lifespan.

Minister Bai, do you know where this woman is hiding in Chaijia Village?

Bai Ningyu shook her head and said, "She has already left Chaijia Village and is currently in Quancheng."

"Jinan!?"

Upon hearing Bai Ningyu mention Quancheng, Lu Ming paused, and the Jiang family of Quancheng immediately popped into his mind.

Bai Ningyu clearly noticed Lu Ming's unusual behavior and immediately asked, "What's on your mind, Minister Lu?"

Lu Ming spoke in a low, serious tone, revealing his thoughts: "Minister Bai, I think this woman's trip to Quancheng is very likely aimed at the Jiang family of Quancheng."

"Why do you think so?"

Lu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Minister Bai, you may not know this, but when we talk about Quancheng, the first thing that comes to mind is the Jiang family."

Because the Jiang family of Quancheng is a branch of the Jiang family of Shangjing, the Jiang family is skilled in divination, and often even the fate of the nation is sought from the Jiang family for divination.

Although the Jiang family of Quancheng is only a branch, this branch possesses many treasures.

They have a device that can determine the location of newly born magical artifacts and treasures.

Therefore, whenever a treasure appears in the world, the Jiang family of Jinan is always the first to know, and thus seizes the opportunity.

"It's quite strange that such a heaven-defying item is not in the hands of the main family, but in the hands of a collateral branch." Bai Ningyu's words were not without reason.

After all, in large families, the head of the household is the most important.

Any good things would be given to the main family first, and only the surplus or leftovers would be considered for the collateral branches.

"it's not true."

Lu Ming explained, "How could the master not covet such a treasure? But this item was the dowry of the wife of the old patriarch of the Jiang family in Quancheng."

Even if the host family wanted this, they couldn't very well ask for the bride's dowry, could they?

Moreover, the Jiang family of Quancheng had promised the main family that they would give them no less than three fourth-grade or higher magical artifacts every year, which is why the main family didn't say anything.

I recently heard that the Jiang family in Jinan has acquired a treasure called the Shadow-Seeking Lamp.

It is said that if you light a lamp over a photo or portrait of the person you are looking for, you will know where that person is.

These are just the treasures we know about; I believe the Fan family of Jinan has many more treasures hidden away that are unknown to the public.

Therefore, when you mentioned she was in Jinan, I immediately felt something was amiss; it seemed too much of a coincidence.
