Collapse, survive

Huo Huo then perked up: "Run away, ran away again?"

I should have brought the years to justice, but another one has slipped away before I knew it. I'm such an incompetent judge.

I would call it releasing animals back into the wild.

Fang Jie gestured for Huo Huo to cheer up, saying that it was a rare opportunity to have some peace and quiet without having to worry about her tail, and that she should be happy.

The tail must be so happy.

"Now it's up to Xiao Gui Zi. Quickly use your intelligence network to find out the anomalies we need to investigate."

"Alright, watch this."

Gui Naifen, who captured the precious footage and prepared to upload it to the live stream, gave a thumbs up.

Coming to Suiyuan was definitely the right decision. Not only did we have so many valuable materials, but we also successfully became the henchmen of the Ten Kings. Gui Naifen has won a great victory!

Her lively and energetic appearance calmed Huo Huo down. Yes, that's the point. Although it was a bit of a dereliction of duty to suddenly run away, as long as more Sui Yang were captured and the Ten Kings' orders were fulfilled, then she could consider resigning.

"Let's go, let's start the ghost-catching operation."

……

……

At the same time, on the other side.

The crow still followed Xueyi, together they attacked the scattered fragments of the Fiend Flame that had possessed the Wubian.

And they had amazing results.

Now, Suiyuan has been dragged into an illusion by the powerful Huiyan, who has gathered too many of Suiyang's kind. Even if a corner of it is torn apart, it is still fraught with danger for ordinary Suiyang.

Therefore, Fu Yan could only hide, trying to escape the dual threat of Ji Yan and the Ten Kings.

It succeeded, and a turning point for development was reached.

Don't worry about how it was transferred.

Meanwhile, another person saw a turning point...

"Little tail of Huo Huo, why are you here all alone?"

Xueyi and Hanya joined forces, but they still couldn't subdue Jiyan. This wasn't a problem that could be solved by pure force, because they didn't have enough pure force.

After discussing it, they decided that this heavy responsibility should fall on Huo Huo's shoulders.

Huo Huo, who has been possessed by the spirit of Sui Yang, is talented in a certain sense.

The Suiyang cannot seize the body that another Suiyang is attached to. In other words, the same person can only be possessed by one Suiyang at a time. This gives Huo Huo a unique advantage in fighting Ji Yan, or at least it can act as a surprise weapon in critical moments.

But the tail leisurely strolled over here.

"Holy crap, you guys are everywhere! Hey, don't hit me, don't hit me! I didn't sneak out, that coward got some weird stuff given to him and then beat me out with a few punches and kicks..."

The crow listened to the tail's sophistry with a cold expression.

"Hey, don't you believe me? Look at this, and this too, that coward did all that!"

"I believe in Huo Huo."

Although Huo Huo looks like she'll be devoured by Sui Yang, Han Ya and Xue Yi actually value her highly. Moreover, Huo Huo has been a judge for decades, or more accurately, she has served the Ten Kings for thirty-eight years, making her a qualified judge, though she lacks confidence.

"Believe it or not, I'm the victim anyway. Let me have some peace and quiet. I'm finally free from that coward. The world is big, I can go anywhere. I'm going to... Hey, what are you doing?"

Xueyi watched silently as her younger sister made her move.

To deal with Suiyang, the Ten Kings have a professional magic weapon. They strike its tail with a loud bang, and as it cries out in response, they take it away—this is also recorded in Journey to the West.

Of course, the magical artifact cannot be too large or too powerful to deal with the celestial energy, otherwise the artifact will shatter. Faced with these calamities, which are essentially part of the immortal and indestructible celestial energy, the Ten Kings Division also found it somewhat troublesome.

Just as the crow caught its tail and was about to force it to obediently help, or else it would catch them all, it saw a shooting star streak across the gloomy sky. Upon closer inspection, it looked like a... Sun.

"Oh dear, those wretched humans! They're so ungrateful! We were getting along so well together when we were working on that technique..."

The floating smoke that landed sounded somewhat aggrieved.

It's not easy to find a delicious host. Although sometimes it suddenly tastes smelly, it really likes Xing, it's delicious, it loves to eat, and it wants to eat a lot.

It even helps with learning!

Suiyang works like this: as the number of parasitic hosts increases, Suiyang's personality will gradually take shape and become different. This is because they learn knowledge from their hosts through parasitism. Therefore, Xing's genius mind was utilized by Fuyan, stimulating his wisdom and power, comparable to Shenlan's stats, and the system took over his body.

But to everyone's surprise, before it could even willingly abandon the delicious food in pursuit of something more important—

Instead, he was elbowed away by another 'kind'!

Who is this person? Fu Yan, feeling wronged, prepared to continue hiding, while that idiot Yan insisted on merging everyone to fight the general again.

The floating smoke part agrees with this approach, but it shouldn't be integrated; instead, it should take the lead...etc., there's a situation.

"Hey, who are you?"

"Here comes another one."

The crow caught its tail, and Xueyi glanced sideways at the floating smoke descending from the sky. The Vajra Pestle was already in her hand. It wasn't that she didn't have enough magic weapons for the time being, but rather that compared to the tail that had long been sealed, this Suiyang might have information that she could interrogate.

"what--!!"

……

……

When Suiyuan was in a state of utter misery, the atmosphere in the exorcising team was much more lively.

Gui Naifen was still using her intelligence network to investigate the matter, while Xing, full of vigor and high spirits, led Sanyue to join the suppression of the Suiyuan haunting incident.

As the saying goes, wherever there's good food, good drinks, and good fun, that's where they are!

And the solution...

Perhaps because of Raiden Mei's size in her armed doll form, Huo Huo really liked her and chatted with her along the way to bolster her courage, talking about her daily life as a judge.

The key information is—

"Oh, thirty-eight years? Doesn't that mean Huo Huo is at least forty years old?"

Raiden Mei looked at the short-statured Huo Huo and realized once again that she was not 'human'.

Don't underestimate humans, you bastards.

Fang Jie looked at Raiden Mei, whose face was full of surprise, and wondered what she was surprised about.

"That's right, just like Theresa, hibiscus is legal."

He chimed in.

Seele immediately laughed: "Hey, you seem to be saying something weird."

"It's not surprising. What's so surprising about it? Although fox people don't live as long as Theresa, they can still live for about three hundred years. Huo Huo is only considered an adult now."

Fang Jie was perfectly justified and confident.

"Lifespan, isn't that amazing!"

Of course! Sometimes even in March, she would pretend to be a big shot in front of Dan Heng, saying things like, "Although I look like a beautiful young girl, I'm actually hundreds of years old."

However, to be fair, March's age is indeed a mystery.

Listening to the ramblings of the person in front of her, Huo Huo was even more agitated than Qing Que.

"I have lived in vain for decades, and I have done nothing to achieve anything. As a judge, I should be able to subdue demons, but I can't even control their tails. This time, I even broke the seal and let it escape."

As she spoke, Huo Huo couldn't help but look up and ask, "What exactly did you give me to drink?"

Even if it's alcohol...

Huo Huo isn't a child; she's drunk this kind of stuff before.

Fang Jie smiled without any embarrassment: "But that Huo Huo was so powerful."

That's true, Huo Huo never thought she had that side to her.

"What about me? You can let the tail go, but who's going to fix my floating smoke?"

Xing rushed over, his face contorted with rage: "You let my pet cockroach escape! You owe me!"

"Come on, there's no use keeping that cunning child-deceiving ghost around. He can still fool you completely."

Fang Jie didn't want to hear Fu Yan say that he had a plan to subdue Liaoyuan and then use the ghost-catching team.

Having experienced the illusions that deceived children, Fu Yan should stay as far away as possible.

And so, they saw the crow and the snow-clad man again.

as well as--

Fu Yan was trying to deceive them: "Hehe, of course I have a way to deal with Ji Yan. Ji Yan and I were fellow inmates locked in the furnace, and we know each other inside and out. Although it is strong, its mind is more childish than a child's. It is obsessed with winning and losing. I only need to say three sentences to teach it a lesson that will crumble on its own."

The tail is also involved, and it's all consuming the floating smoke.

"Come on, if you were really that capable, would you be hiding here jumping around like this? I think you're just putting on airs."

"you shut up."

Fuyan was furious looking at the tail. "You used to be one of us, the most aloof fragment, but look at you now, what a lousy, delusional look you have."

It continued to tell the judge its method: "As long as I possess the body that once drove away the illusion, I can lure out the wrathful flames and the other controlled underworld messengers and take them all down."

Otherwise, searching everywhere for a needle in a haystack would be too tedious. Suiyang is really good at hiding. If it weren't for his weakness of being tempted by the emotions of flesh and blood, he would be impossible to find if he were hiding in the cave.

As soon as Xing arrived, he heard Fu Yan reminiscing about him.

Gui Naifen couldn't help but complain, "Suiyang is truly born evil, secretly plotting such wicked schemes. If he hadn't been expelled by Fang Jie, perhaps that idiot Changchang would have been possessed and committed a terrible crime..."

She suddenly noticed that Fang Jie was looking at her with a strange gaze.

"What, what's wrong?"

It's nothing, it's just that Fuyan wasn't that reluctant to part with Xing. On the contrary, after using Xing, Fuyan decisively switched to Gui Naifen.

Then, he made a big mistake.

Just like Huanlong to Tingyun, Gui Naifen also played a similar role. She went straight to sleep and knew nothing about it.

"I'll update the memory recall later so you can know."

Fang Jie was really looking forward to seeing what kind of expression Xiao Guizi would make.

And now...

"Grandpa Tail".

Huo Huo saw the tail that could possibly escape, but escape was impossible.

"I don't want to see you. It still hurts. I've never seen you fight other demons and monsters this hard, but you hit me with such force..."

They dared not criticize Fang Jie, taking advantage of Huo Huo's honesty.

"I didn't use much force. He's always so arrogant, but he couldn't even take a beating."

Correction: Huo Huo is not honest.

Everyone laughed and watched the joke unfold. Xing even went to provoke Fuyan: "We meet again. I missed you so much. Don't worry, I interrogated Fang Jie for you. He said you're just as inhuman as Huanlong. He can't keep you around. He didn't do this for no reason."

Fuyan: "..."

It didn't have any plan to begin with; it was just unwilling to give up and would act according to circumstances.

As a result, while they were talking to the judge, the parties involved also overheard it.

hateful!

Mere chess pieces!

Let's be patient for now, as long as we give it a chance, a chance to gather its kind and become the BOSS.

Of course, right now everyone has to deal with Ji Yan. Han Ya looked at Huo Huo, and finally at... Fang Jie.

"You have come at the perfect time. When the sun and moon converge, a fragile balance is formed, which ordinary people cannot approach and cannot do anything about. But you are here."

In theory, neither the crow nor the snow-clad figure could resist the possession of the sage.

But Huo Huo (藿藿) is acceptable.

The Fiery Flame now actively disperses throughout Wu Bian's body, spreading throughout Suiyuan and gathering more of its kind. However, Fang Jie's slap earlier gave it a new sense of crisis, as it was already simple-minded and full of fighting spirit.

At this moment, the flames of resentment were gathering, originating from the boundless, immortal power of the Great Year Sun. Cold Crow and Snow Robe felt troubled.
