Hua Yan was surprised and suddenly enlightened. Su Li once went to see Fang Ling alone in the dungeon. After coming out, she didn’t release Fang Ling, but she withdrew the punishment in the dungeon and simply imprisoned Fang Ling.

Did Fang Ling take a risk to reveal something to Su Li at that time?

Hua Yan pondered for a moment, and her attention was soon attracted by Mei Ruohan’s broken spell, “So you can tell those secrets now? Who is the Many-faced Witch?”

Mei Ruohan closed her eyes and sighed, “I don’t know who she’s playing. She is good-looking and young. She likes to wear a faint yellow imperial costume. Sometimes she stands in a pure white palace, sometimes she is in a luxurious golden hall, and sometimes old women in grey robes walk around her, looking like elders…”

“Yin Lin!”

Qu Qingning interrupted Mei Ruohan’s description with an astonished look, “She’s the Head of Huangxing Hall, Yin Lin! In this case, the Huangxing Hall is also under control!”

Hua Yan’s face darkened. She made a gesture, “I’ll transmit messages to Grand Elder and Old Ancestor Tianxing right now. Grand Elder will receive it once she returns. Something has happened to the Tianhe Sect, and the blood-red veins are spreading the earth. I don’t know what Senior Bai is doing in the Tianhe Sect now…”

“The situation is getting chaotic.”

Luo Yichen’s voice was grave. He turned to Qu Qingning, who was in a fretful state, “We can’t alert the enemy. You should understand that a blind action will put Yin Xuetong into trouble.”

Qu Qingning trembled and then relaxed himself. He said in a bitter and sad tone, “I… in this great battle, what can I do if I’m not even a Junior Emperor?”

“Enter the Reincarnation Mirror.”

Hua Yan uttered solemnly, “Qu Qingning, you haven’t yet completed your practice method and lack time. As for Luo Yichen, your soul is damaged and will need a long time to heal itself. The Reincarnation Mirror can help you guys. By the way, Fang Yuan and others are also inside it.”

“Once the battle situation changes, I’ll awaken you guy at once. Before this, how about you try your best to prepare for the chance of victory?”

The hall fell into a long silence. A while later, there were two responses one after another.

“Yes.”

In the stony hall of the Tianhe Sect, crisscross blood-red veins were dense, looking as if a red carpet covered the earth.

A month had passed. Fang Huaji waited so long, but the Fate Palace didn’t send anyone to stop him.

“Why? Why did no one stop me?”

With Fang Huaji’s permission, Bai Su no longer needed to kneel and sat cross-legged aside. After hearing that, he said calmly, “If I ask you to terminate your plan now, will you do it?”

“Of course not.”

Fang Huaji’s eyes glint, “I have painstakingly prepared for 10,000 years for today!”

“Then I have nothing to say.”

Bai Su let out a long sigh, “I only hope that you will allow the grand elders of 27 sects to leave your Tianhe Sect. Just to keep a glimmer of hope for the Qingshui Circle.”

“I can promise you that.”

Fang Huaji nodded casually, “But if I let them go for nothing, what about our Tianhe Sect? You must give me a reason.”

Did he want information…?

Bai Su had no way that Fang Huaji still persisted in his error. In his view, Fang Huaji couldn’t turn the situation around, even though he got more information. Everything was doomed.

Bai Mo didn’t attack Fang Huaji clearly because he had complete confidence.

At this point, a carrier rune popped up from the nothingness and disappeared as a light spot in Bai Su’s ear.

Hearing Hua Yan’s voice, Bai Su grew grave. He said in a low voice, “The Head of the Huangxing Hall, Yin Lin, is the Many-faced Witch.”

Fang Huaji’s face changed slightly, and then he gave a crazy smile of hatred.

“Great! I am satisfied with your information. I will let those grand elders go.”

“What exactly is your plan? And what is the function of these blood-red veins?”

Looking at Fang Huaji’s twisted face, Bai Su couldn’t help but have a chill down his back and forced himself to raise this question.

Fang Huaji stopped smiling and said enigmatically, “You’ll know why I’m so sure in two months.”

The whole night was silent.

The next morning, the sun rose in the east and dispersed the coldness in the small courtyard.

Su Li got up early. Today was the day she went to the market every month.

It was not until Su Li filled the pack basket in the vegetable field that she straightened up to wipe her sweat and shouted to the house, “Mother, I’ll go to the market and be back before dark!”

“Go ahead. Be careful on the road.”

Gentle words came from the house, sounding as if it was really a kind adoptive mother.

Su Li gave a promise and then turned to bounce out of the courtyard gate. A touch of gloom vaguely swept through her clear eyes.

One month had passed, but she still didn’t get any chance, which deeply worried her.

If she was like her last wasting six years in the illusion, it would be too late, even though she broke through the Great Emperor Realm.

“Chance… chance…” Su Li muttered. However, she remained calm to go about her day’s work as usual and didn’t return the same way she came until the evening.

She seemed to be walking a little faster and was cut on her calf by the sharp grass-blade on the roadside. With a groan, she squatted down to check and found a shallow wound. Immediately, her face relaxed.

Su Li stood up and was about to rush home when her eyes suddenly froze and rested on the withered and blackened curled grass-blade.

Many grass-blades were frozen like this in the winter, but she was cut just now. The curled and blackened grass-blades were soft and couldn’t be so sharp…

Blood Poison?

Although her cultivation was isolated by the illusion, her talent still existed!

Su Li’s eyes lit up, but she didn’t confirm it at once. The sky was getting dark. If she didn’t go back, her adoptive mother would notice something wrong and walk out to find her.

Su Li returned to her courtyard and handed the coins to her adoptive mother with her usual expression. Then she washed her hands at the well and went back to the dining table to pick up her chopsticks.

“How is the market today?”

Her adoptive mother’s eyes were gentle. It would be hard to detect malice if not for Su Li.

Su Li only needed to finish a test without considering the subsequent bad consequence. But how did Duan Hongchen perceive her adoptive mother’s malice and escape from the dilemma in childhood?

Su Li couldn’t help thinking about it and pretended to answer as meekly as usual, “Nothing special. By the way, my foot was accidentally cut by the grass-blade on the way back, but the wound is shallow and doesn’t need a bandage.”

“Okay. Tomorrow I’ll go to my parents’ house and come back at night. You’ll stay at home and not run outside, okay?”

“Got it, mother.”

“Well…”

Tonight, Su Li lay in bed and was active in thinking with her eyes closed.

“Parents’ house?

“My adoptive mother most likely won’t return to her parents’ house but to her sect. Or others come to her, but she is inconvenienced to meet them in the courtyard for fear of being seen by me.

“Anyway, she won’t watch me in the courtyard tomorrow.

“But it can’t be ruled out that she has her men watching me on her behalf, so I still need to test the effect of Blood Poison cautiously.”

Su Li turned her tomorrow’s plan over and over in her mind until it was clear before falling into a deep sleep.

The next early morning, her adoptive mother really left the courtyard. Su Li got up to put on her clothes and finished watering the vegetable field patiently. After sitting dazedly in the main room for a moment, she sighed to herself.

“I’m so bored… There is a lion acrobatic show in the market today. It’s a pity for me not to go and see it. Since my mother is coming back in the evening, I can sneak out and return at noon without anyone noticing, right?”

Su Li muttered, and her eyes grew brighter. Finally, she plucked up her courage to fetch her few coins and sneak out of the courtyard.

A moment later, a black figure appeared in the quiet courtyard and chuckled, “I didn’t expect that my mistress had the potential of being a good wife and mother and doted so much on this wild girl…”

After saying that, the black figure turned back to the house.

He had been keeping an eye on Duan Hongchen for several years and hadn’t found the slightest abnormality. His mistress had made the wrong decision, with a gradual loss of patience and a shift of mind to another place. Besides, this girl would be killed by his mistress soon, so his occasional laziness was nothing.

After coming to the market, Su Li made several temptations and didn’t sense being spied on. With a secret sigh of relief, she first went to a clothes shop for a robe to put on and then entered the most luxurious loft in the center of Ruyi Market, which she had never been before.

Through this month’s observation, she found that the operation mode of Ruyi Market was strikingly similar to that of Tianyake Attic, so she came here with some assurance.

As soon as Su Li entered the door, a female practitioner guide with a delicate face walked up to her. Seeing Su Li’s covered face, the female practitioner didn’t mind and bent lightly over her, “Guest, what can I do for you?”

Su Li reached out to put a porcelain bottle containing blood on her palm and whispered, “Test the power of this poison for me. I’ll give you some of the blood in return.”

Hearing this, the female practitioner’s smile faded a bit, but she remained polite. Although it was infrequent to test the power of a poison, it was indeed Ruyi Market’s business. She put away the porcelain bottle carefully and bowed to Su Li.

“Guest, please wait a moment.”

Su Li nodded and said lightly, “Don’t touch it directly with your hands, otherwise… with your cultivation, you won’t survive until your senior comes to rescue you.”

She still had the previous eyesight and naturally saw that the female practitioner in front of her was just in the Zhuji Realm. If the power of her blood poison didn’t diminish, the female practitioner would disappear once she touched it.

The female practitioner’s hand trembled gently. She turned solemn and hurried to withdraw her previous contempt, “Thank you for reminding me, senior.”

She had contempt for Su Li’s young voice and mortal physique. However, since Su Li could see her cultivation, Su Li couldn’t be a mortal. On the contrary, she couldn’t see through this senior’s cultivation.

Thinking of this, the female practitioner dismissed her previous idea of random testing and knocked on the door of an administrator.

“What’s up?”

A calm voice came from the door. The female practitioner took a deep breath and reported, “Test a poison. Its power may be above the Jindan Realm.”

Creak…

The door opened from inside, and an elder came out with some surprise, “I can’t believe this remote place has poison equivalent to the Jindan Realm. Where is the poison?”

“It is in my hand.”

“Come with me.”

“Yes, administrator.”

The female practitioner nodded and followed behind him with anxiety. At this moment, she, who knew little about poison, came to her senses. Did she greatly exaggerate it?

A moment later, the elder and the female practitioner came to the underground place where the demon beasts were kept. As a branch of Ruyi Market, they couldn’t afford to raise a poison maker. Their method of testing poison was very primitive, that was, to test the poison with a demon beast.

The elder walked straight to the dungeon where the demon beast in the Jindan Realm was kept. It was obvious that the demon beast in the Jindan Realm was very hungry with scarlet eyes in an irrational state.

With a serious face, the elder took out a spiritual beast’s meat and gingerly shed a drop of Su Li’s blood on it. Seeing no change in the spiritual beast’s meat, he frowned in silence and threw the meat into the cage.

Immediately, the demon beast jumped up and swallowed it in on gulp. Its eyes regained some clarity, and it spoke the mortal language, “Mortal, what did you feed me? My spirit is much better.”

The elder kept a straight face and turned to glance at the female practitioner.

The female practitioner panicked at once and was about to explain, but she heard the demon beast’s sudden scream. Then it melted like ice met fire and became a pool of blood in a twinkle.

The female practitioner no longer panicked but looked at it with fear. At the thought that she carried this whole bottle of horrible poison blood before, she couldn’t stop trembling.

The elder was at least experienced, but the bottle was trembling in his hands now.

“Hurry up! Hurry up and invite the senior who provided this poison to the Tianzi Room on the top floor!”
