He knew that Bianyi had made a deal with him to obtain it from him.

"You're not allowed to interfere in my affairs!" Hui De's demeanor changed instantly. He no longer had the kind and gentle look he used to give others, nor the dignified presence he usually displayed as an elder.

For a brief moment, Bian Er even felt as if a peer was reprimanding his subordinate.

At this moment, not only Bian Er felt this way, but Bian Ling, who was standing next to him, also felt it.

Bianling's expression suddenly changed, and she looked up at Huide again. He still looked old and there was no difference from before.

But for that brief moment, I felt there was no mistake.

Master is like a completely different person.

Bian Er quickly realized his mistake and hurriedly admitted, "Master, it was my fault. I shouldn't have asked about Master's affairs."

"Go ahead, resolve it immediately over there. I don't want any problems to arise during the incense offering ceremony."

Hui De's words returned to their usual tone, and although his complexion looked unwell, there was nothing particularly wrong with him.

"Yes!"

Before leaving, Bian Er felt really unwilling. Thinking that Bian Ling would receive a treasure from his master after leaving, he turned back and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, there is still that woman who killed Bian Yi over in Black Sand. Hei Tong said that the woman is very strange and has a treasure that ordinary people have never seen. If I capture that woman alive, can I have that treasure?"

Upon hearing this, Huide's hand froze, and the swirling prayer beads stopped at his wrist.

He didn't want to benefit others.

Since Bian Ling is also going, we need to make things clear beforehand.

If the authorities take advantage of this loophole, wouldn't it be a case of losing more than you gain?

Moreover, his master was biased towards him from the start.

Bian Er harbored deep resentment.

"Alright, I understand. Do as you please."

Huide waved his hand and continued turning his prayer beads.

"Yes, Master, I'll go out now."

After receiving the answer, Bian Er couldn't hide the joy on his face.

His previously cold and ruthless expression had softened somewhat.

......

......

Jing Li was holding an unknown stick and was banging on it inside the house.

Nangong Qian followed closely behind her.

Two and a half days have passed, and this afternoon is the perfect time to take Shanzi out.

She had tried to take Lin Zishan out before, but as Jing Li said, Lin Zishan was already trapped inside the formation.

can not go out.

She was the only one who could get out.

Moreover, she investigated and found that those Gu worms outside hadn't left at all!

Heaven is determined to kill her; it's been almost three days, and these people's Gu poison hasn't dissipated yet. They're still guarding the exit point, determined to catch them.

"Boss, are you fully recovered?" Nangong Qian didn't understand Jing Li's actions, so she simply asked.

Jing Li tapped the stick left and right repeatedly, seemingly without any pattern, her actions appearing casual, but her eyes were very serious. "Which aspect of recovery are you referring to? Physical strength, spiritual energy, or mental power?"

Nangong Qian: "......"

She didn't know what these were for, and only weakly replied, "Should it be all of them?"

A yellow halo-like light could be seen clinging to the spot where Jing Li struck.

It's amazing.

"If it's strength, then this body itself doesn't have it. If it's spiritual energy, then it can only be said that this body is too weak to support the spiritual power I had in my previous life. If it's the last one, then my mental strength has never been lacking."

Jing Li looked serious and seemed completely focused.

She was examining the weak point of the original formation. After observing it for the past two days and channeling a little spiritual energy into it each time, the weak point was about to crack. When that happened, she could send Lin Zishan out through the crack.

They can now leave this place.

During her trip to Dinyi, she encountered one problem after another. Her second piece of material was still at the Jinzhen Temple.

After she went out, she was going to investigate.

The place called Dianyi was shrouded in mystery, which piqued her interest.

You must not disappoint her when the time comes.

Nangong Qian was speechless again by Jing Li's words, "..."

The big shot is always elegant and refined; simple words from her mouth are always incomprehensible.

Countless array points flickered in space, as if they were attacking that last weak point.

Jing Li quickly threw out the Buddhist robe, which landed at the array point. Jing Li then made hand seals and chanted a series of incantations that Nangong Qian could not understand.

She felt as if something in the space had changed, yet it also seemed unchanged.

After a moment of dizziness, something flashed past Nangong Qian.

It's Lin Zishan.

The Gu worms inside her body seemed unwilling to leave, wriggling all over her body. Lin Zishan, in a deep state of consciousness, was being controlled by the Gu worms.

They walked step by step toward Jing Li.

He slowly raised his arm, about to grab Jing Li.

"Shanzi!" Nangong Qian grabbed her hand and dragged her away with all her might. "The boss is casting a spell, don't cause trouble, we'll get you out of here."

The Gu worms became even more active, almost bursting out of Lin Zishan's body.

The array outside had consumed too much of Jing Li's spiritual power. Even with the spiritual energy accumulated in her Buddhist robes, it was difficult to alleviate her depletion.

Despite this small amount of spiritual energy, the formation showed no signs of cracking.

Jing Li withdrew her hand, sighing inwardly, "Sigh, I'm still too amazing. I can't open it at all now."

She moved her wrists, pulled on the stick, and started tapping and striking again. Every place she tapped emitted an invisible force.

Sometimes it's weak, sometimes it's strong.

"That's right, it's right there, but I just can't open it." Jing Li helplessly circulated the remaining spiritual energy in her body, then gave up in frustration.

"Removing the formation might open it."

Jing Li pondered, thinking of the human gu outside, then bent down and teased Nangong Qian, "What will you do if the formation is opened and the human gu rushes in?"

Nangong Qian was stunned for a moment, then looked somewhat aggrieved: "Don't you want me anymore?"

Jing Li shook her head. "You're wrong. It's not that I don't want you, it's just that you were never mine to begin with!"

She looked at her hands and sighed again, "Why did I have to meddle in other people's business?"

It's a waste of merit; the gains don't outweigh the losses.

Nangong Qian quickly followed up, saying, "Boss, it's not meddling. We're just good friends, and good friends are rich. I can give you a lot of money so you can enjoy all kinds of delicious food from around the world."

Jing Li hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "What you said does seem to make sense."

Nangong Qian subconsciously touched her head, where there was no sweat.

Fortunately, she had already mastered the big boss's hobbies, otherwise she would have been a failure as his little housekeeper.

She, a lady of high birth, has always been serving others.

Ugh--

Tired.

Jing Li wandered around that place for a while before saying seriously, "Let's run together then!"

She didn't have the energy to deal with the human-like Gu; those things couldn't be killed by sword. She could only kill them using spiritual power. After she used up all her spiritual energy to open her own cage...
