The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Jiang Xianyue had a feeling that something was about to happen, so she followed the old monk.

He walked slowly and steadily, but the further he went into the back of the mountain, the more Jiang Xian Yue felt something was wrong. This feeling was as if everything around her had changed since she came up to Ciyun Mountain this time.

Jiang Xianyue looked around, clenching her hands tightly, trying to ease her tension.

If we're talking about her past life, she was naturally fearless; all demons and monsters would have nowhere to hide around her. But this life is different.

With her meager spiritual power, and having been injured while saving Shen Shijing, it was one thing for that damned man not to come looking for her, but now she had to face danger alone.

Thinking about it, Jiang Xianyue felt even more annoyed.

In the blink of an eye, the monk led Jiang Xianyue to the door of a meditation room. This was inside Ciyun Temple, a place of great seclusion in the city. However, the feeling of unease had grown stronger on the way here.

"Master, where is this..."

"You'll understand once you go inside!"

The monk gestured for them to proceed.

As Jiang Xianyue approached, her hand touched the wooden door and she felt a very different aura, carrying a strong sense of resentment.

Just as the resentment broke through the already dilapidated wooden door, Jiang Xianyue suddenly dodged, avoiding an attack of black energy, while the expression of the monk in plain clothes gradually turned ferocious.

"Where did you come from? How dare you lay a finger on me!"

Jiang Xianyue nimbly dodged and looked at the person shrouded in black mist in front of her. It shouldn't be called a person, but just a black shadow.

Jiang Xianyue was overwhelmed with thoughts.

Someone who knows her name, knows her identity, and knows that her mother is here must be someone she saw last time she came here. Jiang Xianyue thought carefully, but her mind wandered.

She felt that Jiang Ruyan was also involved in this matter.

When she's nervous, she's surrounded by spiritual energy.

"You're not just an ordinary girl. After I eat you, my magic power will definitely increase even more!"

As he spoke, the figure, shrouded in black energy, attacked Jiang Xianyue. Jiang Xianyue retreated several steps, barely managing to form hand seals to defend herself. Even if she managed to capture him, she needed to figure out exactly what kind of person he was; in the short term, Jiang Xianyue probably didn't have that kind of ability.

Just as the black energy was about to harm Jiang Xianyue, Jiang Xianyue pulled out a yellow talisman from her sleeve. The talisman flashed with golden light and quickly formed a large seal, which she then hurled fiercely at the figure.

"Today, I'll show you what it means to be utterly destroyed!"

Jiang Xianyue's lips curled up as she saw the silhouette of the dark figure tremble. It seemed that it had not expected that it actually possessed magic. Except in front of Su Yong, Jiang Xianyue never showed off its magic. So, for the figure to target it was like kicking a hornet's nest.

Even though she didn't have her former abilities, Jiang Xian Yue could still tell that the figure was frail and barely maintained a human form, clearly indicating that she had been injured.

She already had some doubts about her mother's death, and the one who knew about it and told her to tempt her must be some kind of evil spirit. Whatever it was, Jiang Xian Yue was determined to take it in today.

Just as the figures were in disarray, Jiang Xianyue pulled a hairpin from her hair. This was not an ordinary hairpin; the pendant resembled an incense burner that divided yin and yang. Jiang Xianyue chanted an incantation, and the incense burner continued to grow larger.

"Sleepy!"

She remained calm and composed, using her remaining spiritual power to activate it.

Jiang Xianyue was actually in a state of confusion. She didn't know if she could use magical artifacts with her limited spiritual power. If she couldn't, she would be humiliated in front of ghosts.

Fortunately, the truth isn't too embarrassing.

He had spent a long time with Shen Shijing the day before, so he still had some spiritual energy left in his body.

In an instant, the magical artifact emitted countless threads that entangled the figure.

The figure was also surprised that Jiang Xianyue was so powerful, and made an angry "hissing" sound.

"You know my mother? Who are you? Who sent you to attack me?"

Jiang Xianyue's three soul-searching questions.

The figure remained silent, and the groans of pain intensified. Unfortunately, Jiang Xian Yue's spiritual power was dwindling, and the restraints were gradually weakening.

Jiang Xian Yue had no choice but to act swiftly and forcefully, enhancing her control over the magical artifact with her spiritual power.

"If you don't speak, I'll make your soul vanish instantly!"

The figure hesitated, about to speak, when her spiritual power weakened. A beam of light shot towards her, and Jiang Xianyue dodged and grabbed it, but the figure escaped.

Jiang Xianyue looked up and saw that it was the Chaos Pearl.

It is a treasure that the Grand Master lost.

So, Su Yong's situation is also related to them? Could it be that Lin Yu is the one who wants to harm them?

However, no one knew about his trip this time, so how did Lin Yu know that he was on Ciyun Mountain and happened to do this? It doesn't make sense.

However, this treasure is still somewhat useful to Jiang Xianyue.

The surroundings were completely silent, except for an unpleasant smell that lingered around her, making Jiang Xianyue feel how real what had just happened was.

Jiang Xianyue frowned and walked into the room.

Inside the room, there was indeed a monk in plain clothes, surrounded by black mist, his face pale and thin, looking like he was about to die. Jiang Xianyue bent down to check on his condition.

He is a person, probably a monk from Ciyun Mountain.

However, his life force is gradually fading, and he is now on his deathbed.

Suddenly, the monk opened his eyes.

Upon seeing Jiang Xian Yue, his eyes widened in terror.

The next second, her withered hand gripped Jiang Xianyue's sleeve tightly.

"Someone wants to harm you, to steal... your mother's things!"

He clearly knew Jiang Xianyue, so he was the person the figure from earlier was impersonating. That proves that there really is such a person in this Buddhist temple.

"What exactly is it? What did my mother leave behind?!"

"Go... to Wanggushan..."

At this point, the monk breathed his last.

His presence had completely vanished, making the dimly lit room even more eerie.

Jiang Xianyue lowered her eyes, unable to describe the feeling, and at the same time felt dizzy as her spiritual energy was about to be exhausted.

Just then, footsteps could be heard outside.

Countless people gradually approached and surrounded the small house.

What I just saw wasn't a human; it might have been a demon or some other evil creature. If I told others about it, they probably wouldn't believe me.

The people who came included guards and monks from Wanggushan.

The lead host shouted, "Huiyuan!"

Then he ran over.

Jiang Xianyue got up and hurriedly made room for her.

"Miss Jiang, what are you doing here?"

A questioning voice came from behind Jiang Xianyue. Jiang Xianyue turned around, surprised for no reason.
