Xiao Hei asked疑惑地, "Something's not right... what's wrong?"

Its innocent foolishness prevented it from realizing that Burning Heart was a spirit transformed from a zither.

Qi Yu gave up, "Forget it, you can go back to sleep."

Little Black, bewildered, shuffled out.

After pondering for a while, Qi Yu decided to continue observing and gathering more information.

She stood up, and suddenly felt a tap on her back.

Qi Yu felt a chill run down his spine. He turned around and saw Feng Xiao. He said irritably, "Can't you just speak directly?"

"Is Xiaoyu nervous?" Fengxiao looked at Qiyu and asked softly.

Qi Yu let out a breath and said, "It's better to tell you now. I'm going deep into the demonic cultivators' stronghold, which might be a bit dangerous."

Feng Xiao's expression changed, and he said, "I'll go with Xiao Yu."

"No way," Qi Yu refused. "You're too conspicuous and might expose me. Don't worry, if I encounter someone I can't handle, I'll call for you. Remember to come and save me!"

She winked at Feng Xiao, "We're in the same boat."

Looking into her captivating peach blossom eyes, Feng Xiao finally nodded.

Qi Yu came out of the space and returned to the artificial mountain. Just as he was about to crawl out of the artificial mountain, he suddenly stopped.

A few people were whispering nearby.

"Among the batch we caught today, there were a few cultivators mixed in. I wonder if they will be offered to the Demon Lord as food, or used as furnaces for the elders of the sect."

"It seems they're still from the Flying Star Sect, hahaha. Last time we failed to retrieve the divine relic from the Flying Star Sect, this time we're going to torture these people to death!"

"Hmph, that useless Bamboo Princess vowed to bring back the divine relic, but all the followers she brought died. She, on the other hand, escaped using the strings bestowed by the Holy Maiden. But now even the Holy Maiden can't protect her."

"Shh, keep your voice down, or the walls might be overhearing."

The group fell silent and left dejectedly.

It seems those medical cultivators might still be alive, but we don't know where they're being held.

Qi Yu waited for a moment, and was about to move the artificial hill when suddenly a chill ran down her spine.

She looked up.

A figure stood in front of the artificial hill, completely blocking the light source.

The person in front of me was backlit, so all I could see were his soft, beautiful features, almost feminine, and a pair of purple eyes that seemed to be smiling but weren't.

Purple eyes unique to demons.
