The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

However, this hall was not magnificent and resplendent, but rather dark and cold, almost completely devoid of any light.

It was black, pitch black.

The only source of light was the luminous pearl in Luo Qianmo's hand.

The hall seemed very large; even with such a large luminous pearl, it could only illuminate one corner.

The first thing that catches the eye is a dark-colored coffin.

This coffin looks exactly like the kind that hides the Gu King, but it is slightly different. It is completely black, and a huge fanged ghost face is carved on the coffin lid.

They're not the same kind, but they always give off a feeling of being connected.

Fang Qingyou wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but when the stone door opened, she seemed to see a crimson ray of light enter the coffin.

Luo Qianmo, holding Fang Qingyou's hand, walked warily toward the coffin...

However, something unexpected happened.

As the two approached the coffin, just a few steps away, the coffin, which had been quietly resting in place, suddenly plummeted downwards.

The floor beneath the coffin had vanished without a trace, causing the entire coffin to suddenly plunge into the darkness below.

"Clang—" Luo Qianmo instantly drew his sword, trying to stop the coffin, but it was too late.

In an instant, the coffin fell to the floor below, and the floor completely blocked their view from the darkness.

Luo Qianmo's eyes darkened. He searched around the floor for a while before withdrawing his gaze with a gloomy expression.

"Is the coffin lost?" Fang Qingyou couldn't help but ask. Her intuition told her that there must be something hidden inside the coffin, and that it was closely related to the Fang Lord.

If they don't deal with what's inside today, there will likely be endless trouble in the future.

"This is a one-way dead mechanism."

Fang Qingyou didn't understand mechanisms, so she could only roughly understand from the literal meaning that the coffin escaped through this mechanism. After it escaped, the mechanism would probably be locked, sealing off any possibility of finding the coffin.

My gaze swept to one direction of the main hall and I saw a black chair, which was as high as a dragon throne, with steps leading up to it.

However, the chairs were not decorated with auspicious mythical beasts such as dragons and phoenixes, but with fierce and menacing ghost faces.

Each had its own posture, yet all of them had ferocious faces.

Staring intently at those ghostly faces, each one seemed to come alive, sending chills down one's spine.

"This must be the main hall of the Shadow Palace?" Those dark-colored seats must be the exclusive domain of the Fang Lord.

"It should be." Luo Qianmo turned his gaze away from the ground and began to survey the situation in the main hall.

If he wasn't mistaken, the person hidden in the coffin earlier should have been the Fang Lord. He could have killed his enemy in one blow, but the enemy escaped.

Although he was unwilling, he didn't dwell on it for long.

This mechanism is triggered instantly; once activated, there is no turning back.

This is the fanged lord's method of preserving his life.

However, he escaped this time, but next time, he will definitely not be allowed to escape again.

The word "bastard" suddenly flashed through his mind, and Mo Hei's dark eyes darkened. He always felt that the identity of this Fang Lord of the Shadow Palace was probably not as simple as the head of an assassin organization.

He'll figure it all out eventually.

……

Two days later, Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou and their group left the Demon Shadow Palace's lair.

However, that sinister underground lair was burned to the ground.

It turns out that this Shadow Palace only came to light in the martial arts world in the last six months or so. Before that, it was completely unknown, as if it had never existed at all.

The Lord of Fangs is a Gu poison master who has cultivated many types of Gu. This southern insect plague was also premeditated, intended to overthrow the rule of the Yunyue Kingdom.

Luo Qianmo activated the mechanisms of the Demon Shadow Palace in the main hall, rescuing Xuan Zhu, Xuan Lan, Yue Fei, and the others who were trapped inside.

Xuan Zhu led a group of people to distribute the antidote to the Gu poison in various places, while Luo Qianmo, Fang Qingyou and their group continued to venture deeper into Hengnan Mountain.

The insect plague has been resolved, but Lan Wuyu and the others have not yet been found.

After leaving the Shadow Palace, Fang Qingyou kept having the same dream over and over again.

In my dream, there was a pool of shimmering purple water, seemingly filled with light, shining with a bright and holy radiance.

The light felt strangely familiar and comforting to her, as if her whole being had been nourished from the inside out, a feeling akin to a thoroughly satisfying spa treatment.

It just felt a bit more comfortable.

Only when she left the Shadow Palace and was alone did Fang Qingyou carefully examine the changes in herself.

When she fell into the pool of water in the Shadow Palace, she was unaware of what was happening, but her body told her that her body seemed to have changed.

It was as if something had appeared inside her body, something she couldn't perceive but that was truly there.

Besides that fantastical dream, her physical condition was also constantly improving every day, changing at a rate she could feel.

This feeling was extremely strange, as if something inside her was expelling all the bad things from her body and absorbing the essence of the sun, moon, and heaven and earth into her body.

The first thing Fang Qingyou checked was the water droplet mark on her left forearm. Back in the Demon Shadow Palace, she had felt a strange, needle-like sensation.

With just one glance, his eyes narrowed abruptly.

She discovered that the water droplet marks, which were originally just a few purple drops, had become incredibly rich, as if the purple color had been condensed to its extreme.

The water droplet mark was surrounded by a faint halo, making it look less like her skin and more like a mist.

This change makes the already mysterious water droplet mark even more enigmatic and mystical.

It was at this moment that she realized that every time she encountered a purple pool of water, the water droplet marks would change as long as she immersed herself in it.

The Lingnan Mountain Stone Cave was like this last time, and the Demon Shadow Palace is the same this time.

Could it be that there is some special substance in this water that causes the water droplet marks to change?

Fang Qingyou couldn't help but think of the circular purple jade pendant at the bottom of the water, and felt that it must have been that jade pendant that caused the change in the water droplet mark.

But she didn't know exactly what happened.

"Will the current water droplet imprint produce Purple Spirit Water?"

Thinking about it, Fang Qingyou gently rubbed her fingers on the water droplet mark.

After the last time she went to the stone cave in Lingnan Mountain, she unexpectedly obtained the Purple Spirit Water.

So this time, with such a similar experience, the outcome shouldn't disappoint her too much, right?

Then, something completely unexpected happened.
