After transmigrating into the book, I became the little sun of the crazy villain.

Following Song Qinghua's scent, they arrived at a very ordinary courtyard.

In other places, there are many guards patrolling, but here there are only a few people passing by occasionally.

Yun Zhao looked around the courtyard: "Are you sure you didn't lead us the wrong way? Is Song Qinghua really going to be here? This place seems to be undervalued."

Qi Yan frowned and thought for a moment, "Maybe there's a hidden world inside. Let's go in and take a look."

Just then, there were no guards patrolling, so the two of them slipped in like two little mice. The courtyard looked no different from the outside; it was all very ordinary.

The other courtyards at least had a defensive formation, but this one had nothing.

Something unusual must be going on. Yun Zhao and Qi Yan exchanged a glance, their vigilance heightened.

They crept quietly into the house, but it was eerily quiet and deserted. They looked around, searching high and low, but there wasn't a soul in sight, let alone any of Song Qinghua's men.

After searching for a long time, Yun Zhao was a little tired. She leaned against the wall and wiped the sweat from her forehead. "Ayan, do you think we should... ah!"

"Squeak--"

Yun Zhao exclaimed in surprise. Luckily, she managed to grab onto the bookshelf next to her in time, or she would have fallen into the passage that had appeared out of nowhere in the wall behind her.

Qi Yan was searching at the other end when he saw this. He put down the vase in his hand and quickly pulled Yun Zhao back.

"There's a passage here! Could it be a secret room?"

Yun Zhao's eyes sparkled as she said, "Let's go take a look!"

Qi Yan frowned. "I'll go ahead, Zhao Zhao, you follow me."

Yun Zhao nodded. "Let's all be careful."

As soon as the two stepped into the passage, the wall suddenly closed. Yun Zhao subconsciously looked back and saw a scroll with a vase pattern hanging on the wall.

Qi Yan also looked over, "I just bumped into a vase, that might be the switch for this passage."

"So that's how it is. Novels don't live up to my expectations. The door to the secret room is either a book or a vase. It's really unoriginal."

Yun Zhao muttered to himself.

They didn't know how far the passage was, and they walked down step by step. Fortunately, there were lighting artifacts along the way, so it wasn't too dark to see the path.

After walking for an unknown distance, Yun Zhao saw a light in the distance, much brighter than the lighting artifacts in the passage.

They tiptoed towards the corner, and when they reached it, Yun Zhao peeked in.

Her eyes darted around, and she saw many people, each locked in a cage of a different color.

Only after seeing the person she wanted to see did Yun Zhao pull her head back.

Yun Zhao activated the concealment formation and said impatiently, "Ayan, I see Song Qinghua!"

"However, where is this place? Besides Song Qinghua, there are many other people locked in cages."

Qi Yan thought for a moment and guessed, "It might be the Song family's place of imprisonment. When I was in the Song family, I heard that they would imprison traitors and other people here."

"The other people? Who are they?"

Qi Yan shook his head, "I don't know about that, but what I can confirm is that they are all people who are detrimental to the Song family."

He went to take a look, but he didn't recognize any of those people, and he had never even met them in his previous life.

Yun Zhao looked around and saw that there were old and young people locked in cages, some strong and some thin. For example, the person in the red cage, he wondered how a three-year-old child could have offended the Song family.

Whether it was because she had been watching for a long time or for some other reason, the child opened his eyes and suddenly looked in her direction.

Yun Zhao quickly shrank back, thankfully avoiding being discovered.

“No wonder he was captured by the Song family,” Yun Zhao sighed. “That child is definitely not an ordinary person; he’s too perceptive.”

None of the other cages noticed her, but the child was the only one who sensed something was wrong.

"Shi, what are you looking at?"

Hearing someone speak, Yun Zhao quickly pulled Qi Yan to listen.

"nothing."

The child, Shi, was very cold, but the person who had just spoken was very talkative.

He sighed, "I don't know how long we'll be locked up. That damned Song family, I don't know what kind of trick they used to capture us, otherwise I would have torn them to pieces!"

As soon as the two of them spoke, the others in the cages chimed in, "Sigh, we don't know if anyone will come to save us. It's so unfair to die at the hands of mere humans!"

Yun Zhao and Qi Yan exchanged a glance and gleaned a useful piece of information: they were not human.

--Could it be a demon?

--No, not exactly.

Qi Yan shook his head.

He was no longer a half-demon, but a complete demon. If this group of people were demons, he could sense it.

Yun Zhao nodded.

She also remembered that Qi Yan had already activated the bloodline within her body.

However, she suddenly remembered something.

Her task is to gain Qi Yan's favor and guide him onto the right path.

Hmm, as a pure demon, is it really a good thing to walk the righteous path?

As Yun Zhao was lost in thought, the group of people cursed and swore for a while, then suddenly collapsed to the ground in pain for some unknown reason.

Yun Zhao hurriedly looked over and saw that black energy was constantly emanating from their bodies, and that black energy seemed to be guided by someone, slowly gathering together.

She followed her gaze, and the final destination of the black mist was—

Song Qinghua!

He sat cross-legged in the cage, black energy continuously entering his body, and at the same time, his cultivation level began to rise steadily.

Yun Zhao gasped. Having been in this world for a long time, she was no longer the ignorant girl she once was. This situation clearly indicated that she had fallen into demonic possession!

Stop him!

Yun Zhao had only one thought in his mind: they already had a grudge against Song Qinghua, and Song Qinghua's possession of demonic possession would definitely bring them a lot of trouble!

She tugged at Qi Yan, signaling him to think of a way to stop Song Qinghua, but Qi Yan didn't budge despite being tugged several times.

Yun Zhao turned his head and saw Qi Yan standing there blankly.

"Qi Yan? What's wrong?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she noticed that some fine black energy was being slowly absorbed by Qi Yan.

There was too little of this black energy; it wasn't as much as Song Qinghua had absorbed, so it wasn't noticeable.

While Song Qinghua was focused on his cultivation, the others in the cage were only concerned with preventing Song Qinghua from absorbing their black energy. For a time, no one noticed that a tiny bit of black energy had been absorbed by Qi Yan.

Yun Zhao was unaware that Qi Yan's demonic possession had been interrupted by her. She only knew that Qi Yan had shown signs of demonic possession before entering the Song family's forbidden area.

This dark energy is drawing Qi Yan into demonic possession. If she's not mistaken, this dark energy is demonic energy!

Those who are locked in cages are demons or demonic cultivators!

Yun Zhao gritted his teeth, putting Song Qinghua aside for now; the most important thing right now was to stop Qi Yan from falling into demonic possession.

The jade pendant soaked in the juice of the Jade Dew Flower was no longer effective. In desperation, Yun Zhao tried to draw the demonic energy into himself.

She has the system's protection, so she should be fine. Even if she becomes a demonic cultivator, the system should be able to restore her to her original state... right?
