The two of them also suffered a significant backlash. Of the group, only Zi Ling and Mo Bai were unharmed; everyone else sustained injuries of varying degrees.

The aftershocks of the demon's self-destruction gradually subsided, and the world returned to silence, with only the lingering aura of bloodlust still drifting in the air.

The five seals fell back into Rong Jiaojiao's hands. She returned the golden seal to Mo Bai, who immediately purified the remaining bloodthirsty energy.

Rong Jiaojiao had been keeping an eye on the Little Secret Realm to prevent the Demon Spirit from escaping, and now that she knew the Demon Spirit had completely vanished, she was finally relieved.

He forced himself to stand up, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Mo Zhizhou and Qing Xuanzi.

Both of them were pale, clearly indicating that the barrier they had just used up a great deal of energy.

She stepped forward and asked, "Master! Senior Mo! How are you?"

Mo Zhizhou waved his hand to indicate that it was alright, but his gaze turned solemnly to the distance: "Although the demon spirit is destroyed, its appearance was by no means accidental."

Qing Xuanzi coughed twice to catch his breath before saying, "That's right, it seems to know with perfect accuracy that the seal holder is here."

Mo Bai put away the Nine Dragons Golden Seal, his brows furrowed: "The problem might lie with me and Lao Zhou. It's probably because they were able to locate us all along."

Rong Jiaojiao said, "Now is not the time to dwell on this. Let's leave first."

But at that moment, they seemed to be pressed down by a giant mountain, unable to move.

A rustling sound came from behind them, and everyone turned their heads with difficulty to look. They cried out in fright, "Moon Shadow Python!"

It was clear that the Moon Shadow Python had regained consciousness at some point. It hadn't made a move before, but now it had emerged, perhaps intending to take advantage of their weakness and exact revenge.

Just as everyone was feeling uneasy, the Moon Shadow Python's gaze fixed on Rong Jiaojiao. Qing Xuanzi immediately shouted, "Senior, it was my idea to take the Moonflower Mushroom earlier. If you want to blame someone, blame me. Don't hurt her; she's still a child."

Mo Bai and Mo Zhizhou also said, "Senior, she is the youngest, and we are the ones who came up with the ideas. Please don't hurt her."

The Moon Shadow Python completely ignored them, but a girl's telepathic message rang in Rong Jiaojiao's mind.

"Give me some more of your medicine."

Rong Jiaojiao didn't sense any danger or malice and said, "Senior, could you please put away your aura?"

The Moon Shadow Python tilted its head in confusion, looking at her as if it didn't understand what she was saying.

Rong Jiaojiao tried to communicate with it using her mind, and this time it understood.

After tilting its head and thinking for a moment, perhaps realizing that these people couldn't escape either, it actually withdrew its oppressive aura.

Rong Jiaojiao took out all the Drunken Dragon she had refined and said, "Senior, all the medicinal powder is here."

The Moon Shadow Flood Dragon felt this was too little and sent a telepathic message: "Not enough!"

It felt so comfortable with the medicine that it wanted a lot of it.

Rong Jiaojiao shook her head: "Senior, we're out of medicinal powder, but I can give you fresh elixirs."

As she spoke, she took out two Drunken Dragon Grass plants with roots still attached. The Moon Shadow Python's vertical pupils suddenly contracted, and its thick snake body involuntarily stretched forward.

The Drunken Dragon Grass in Rong Jiaojiao's hand emitted an alluring fragrance, causing the muscles beneath its scales to relax slightly.

"Jiaojiao!" Qing Xuanzi shouted urgently, but Mo Bai grabbed his shoulder.

Rong Jiaojiao turned around and said with a smile, "Master, it's alright, Senior didn't mean any harm."

The Moon Shadow Python's tail thumped the ground restlessly, and after a while, it opened its mouth and spat out two Moonflower Mushrooms.

Rong Jiaojiao suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She had just stolen someone else's Moonflower Mushroom and was now trading with them, so she felt a bit weak.

Rong Jiaojiao and the python locked eyes and suddenly understood its meaning.

She carefully placed the Drunken Dragon Grass on the ground, and then took out three more from the secret realm: "If you like them, senior, I'll give you these three as well."

A hint of human-like surprise flashed in the python's eyes.

He opened his mouth and spat out three more Moonflower Mushrooms.

Tilting its head, Rong Jiaojiao continued to look at it. Rong Jiaojiao shook its head and transmitted its thoughts to it, saying, "Senior, there are no more mature Drunken Dragon Grasses left. I want to keep the others that haven't grown yet to reproduce."

After looking at Rong Jiaojiao for a while, the python opened its mouth and swallowed all the medicine powder and the Drunken Dragon Grass.

Rong Jiaojiao tried to put away the Moonflower Mushroom, but seeing that the python didn't react, she asked telepathically, "Senior, we are all injured. Can we leave to heal?"

The python telepathically transmitted its message: "I will take you to a good place."

Rong Jiaojiao quickly told everyone that no one objected. After all, they couldn't resist now, and even with Zi Ling there, they weren't confident they could escape.

Seeing that they agreed, the python used its spiritual power to roll them up and throw them onto its back, then swam away at high speed.

Its scales gleamed with a deep blue luster under the moonlight, and wherever it passed, the vegetation parted automatically, forming a winding path.

"Where is it taking us?" Zi Ling asked softly, gripping the python's scales tightly.

Mo Zhizhou closed his eyes to sense for a moment, then opened them and said, "There is a rich water spiritual energy ahead; we should be heading to a place with water."

Meanwhile, the little secret realm within Rong Jiaojiao's sea of ​​consciousness stirred restlessly, and Rong Jiaojiao immediately communicated with it: "You can't touch anything here, or I'll die here."

The little secret realm then quieted down.

Before long, everything became clear before everyone's eyes.

A deep blue pool appeared under the moonlight, its water crystal clear and emanating a chill.

Several crystal-clear ice lotuses grow by the pool, radiating a soft glow.

Everyone gasped in astonishment. This Ice Crystal Lotus could cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body.

The python gently placed them on the edge of the pool, pointed with its tail to the cold pool, and then to the wounds on their bodies.

"Does it want us to use this icy pool to heal our wounds?" Rong Jiaojiao asked in surprise.

The python nodded, swam to the largest ice crystal lotus, and gently touched the lotus with its head.

The lotus flower miraculously detached itself and floated down in front of Rong Jiaojiao.

"This...this is for me?" Rong Jiaojiao was flattered.

A hint of gentleness flashed in the python's vertical pupils, then it turned and dived into the icy pool, only revealing half of its head to observe them.

Qing Xuanzi sighed, "I never expected this Moon Shadow Flood Dragon to be so intelligent. We were the ones who offended it earlier."

Mo Zhizhou couldn't wait to step into the cold pool: "Stop talking nonsense. This cold pool is full of spiritual energy, making it a good place to heal injuries."

Everyone entered the water. The pool was icy cold, but they could soon feel the spiritual energy seeping into their bodies, repairing their damaged meridians.

Seeing that they were obedient, the Moon Shadow Python gave each of them a flower, for which everyone was extremely grateful.

Holding the Ice Crystal Lotus, just as they were about to eat it, a deafening roar came from afar. The group quickly put the Ice Crystal Lotus into the jade box and put it away.

Rong Jiaojiao suddenly had a very unbelievable thought and said, "Could it be that it brought us to someone else's territory?"

Mo Bai hissed, "No wonder it was so generous, giving each of us an Ice Crystal Lotus."
