My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Ji Daoyun had already learned that Kong Lianghe had severed ties with Taibai Pavilion after marrying into the Lu family.

Luo Hanying breathed a barely perceptible sigh of relief upon hearing this.

It's good that there's no more contact. If there were still contact, she would be constantly asked if she was Shi Mier.

Back when she opened the Heavenly Gate in the Western Barbarian Divine Continent, if it weren't for Qiao Hezhi, who claimed to be a disciple of Taibai Pavilion, she and Ruan Chayan wouldn't have been forced to flee in such a sorry state, leaving them with a huge debt to the system.

Kong Lianghe said that he had left Taibai Pavilion decades ago, and he couldn't help if the people wanted to go to Taibai Pavilion to ask for information.

Lu Feng quickly asked Kong Lianghe for his opinion. If they were to go to Taibai Pavilion to buy information, he would send someone with spirit stones to make the trip.

Kong Lianghe, looking worried, let Lu Xizhou make the decision.

Lu Xizhou gestured to Lu Feng to send someone to make a trip, hoping to uncover some new clues to resolve the current predicament.

Ji Daoyun glanced thoughtfully at Kong Lianghe and murmured, "There's no clue at all..."

What if it was a large organization that had infiltrated the Canglan Realm and was skilled at finding clues that erased the traces of missing persons?

When he sealed the formations in Yingzhou, and even when he went to the Boundary River, he was accompanied by disciples of Taibai Pavilion who were collecting clues...

The surrounding disciples' discussions brought Ji Daoyun back to his senses. He looked at Luo Hanying, who had been silent, and asked, "Did you discover anything about Lu Erniang?"

Luo Hanying suddenly felt the nervousness of being called on by the teacher in class. She stood up straight and said, "My...my discovery? Let me think..."

She pondered for a moment and said, "Let's use a mirror to check. My mirror showed Jin Si's true form before, so I think she should be fine."

Her words surprised everyone. Luo Hanying took out her brush and wrote in the air: "Who knows that in the mirror, the reflection and the image are mutually pitying."

The text expanded and transformed into a huge bronze mirror. Luo Hanying simply hugged the bronze mirror to her chest, and the mirror was facing Lu Xiyan, who was lying quietly on the bed.

The mirror first reflected Lu Xiyan's current appearance, then ripples appeared on the surface of the mirror, and Lu Xiyan was surrounded by surging purplish-black energy.

Luo Hanying stared at the scene in the mirror for a long time before speaking uncertainly: "What does this mean? It seems that Lu Erniang is wrapped in a cocoon."

I saw that her entire body was shrouded in a purplish-black mist or something, to the point that I could barely see her body.

Ji Daoyun hurriedly asked, "Could you describe in detail the thing that wrapped Lu Erniang?"

Luo Hanying racked her brains and said, "It's like layers of thread intertwined, but it's intangible, as if it's alive and can move on its own."

You can see something that looks like scribbles flashing on Lu Erniang's head, moving very slowly. It's hard to tell if it's a pattern or words.

Lu Erniang appeared to be struggling slightly, or perhaps she was just panting, which made it seem like she was struggling.

She freed one hand and tried to draw the scribbled symbol: "It looks something like this, can you make out anything?"

Everyone fell silent; clearly, no one knew what it was.

Du Sitong said with difficulty, "It sounds like we've gained something, but we don't know how it happened. With just this information, we still don't know how to save people."

Mu Hua leaned closer to the bronze mirror in Luo Hanying's arms, but couldn't see anything. He looked up at Luo Hanying, full of expectation, and asked, "Do you have any other way of seeing anything else?"

The bronze mirror slowly disappeared from Luo Hanying's arms. She scratched her head and said, "Let me think about it..."

She held the brush, pondered for a moment, and then wrote: "A beauty has a precious mirror, worth a thousand pieces of gold. She once reflected her image with her beloved, and also reflected her heart with him."

The words converged, rotated, and changed, and a woman's phantom, holding a golden bronze mirror different from the previous ones, floated in mid-air. Golden light burst from the mirror and shone on Lu Xiyan, and then the light reflected from Lu Xiyan back into the mirror.

"Holy crap!" Luo Hanying was so shocked by what she saw that she took several steps back. If Ji Daoyun hadn't caught her, she would have fallen to the ground.

She gagged twice, quickly covering her mouth to avoid embarrassing herself in public, tears welling up in her eyes: "Holy shit! Holy shit! That's disgusting!"

"What are you seeing?" Lu Xizhou's gaze darted back and forth between the bronze mirror and Luo Hanying, wishing he could see the image in the mirror himself.

As Luo Hanying wiped the tears from her eyes, she described to the bewildered crowd, "I saw a monster crawling on Lu Erniang's body!"

She didn't even dare to look at the bronze mirror again, her expression extremely grim: "Two heads! It looks like their faces have been peeled off, their entire faces are covered in blood..."

No lips, just dripping blood...

"So many arms, I couldn't count them all, their postures were contorted, its lower body looked like a spider's abdomen, it was huge, and it was densely packed with what looked like eyes..."

She glanced cautiously at the bronze mirror, wishing she could disappear into the ground: "It looks like the eyes of both heads have been gouged out; I can't see the eyeballs."

It had something in its mouth, like the mouthparts of an insect;

Its body was covered in bristles, and it had many eyes that blinked constantly…

Luo Hanying frantically turned her head to one side, afraid of seeing that disgusting monster again. "I'm going to throw up, I really am going to throw up! It's so disgusting, so scary!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xizhou was overjoyed: "Isn't this the true face of the strange black shadow they were talking about?"

"If we just know what it is, we can find a solution!"

Luo Hanying waved her hand, scattering the bronze mirror. Her face pale, she said, "I've never heard of such a disgusting and terrifying monster. Has anyone here ever heard of it?"

Ji Daoyun pondered: "Your description sounds a lot like a multi-eyed human-faced spider that has been infused with demonic energy, but its demonic form is quite different from what you described."

Luo Hanying slapped her forehead in despair, trying to calm down: "Alright, let's guess then, the monster must have been maliciously raised by bad people."

Now we need to find the bad guy and kill him, so the monster will die and Lu Erniang will get better. Do you think my guess is right?

I think it must be something like this. Let's hurry and find the bad guy!

"Easier said than done, how do you find the bad guys?"

Mu Hua glanced at Lu Xiyan and asked, "What's the current status of her soul lamp? Can you estimate how much time we have left?"

Kong Lianghe roused himself and said, "Although the flame of the soul lamp is dim, it shows no signs of going out."

However, every day after midnight, the flames would flicker violently, almost going out, only to be kept alive by Yan Niang's blood relatives through spellcasting.

Du Sitong breathed a sigh of relief: "So this rune only imprisoned Lu Erniang's consciousness and tormented her mind, but did not affect her body, right?"

Therefore, as long as Lu Erniang's spirits hold up, we still have plenty of time.

"According to Kong Langjun, Lu Erniang's mental state is also worrying now."

Mu Hua frowned. "If we can't resolve this quickly, who knows when Lu Erniang might give up?"
