Seeing that he had said enough, and considering that he had become possessed by a demon because he was ridding the people of evil, now that he had returned to normal, there was no need to kill him outright.

So Zuan and the others released him from the formation. Zuan asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

"I don't know either. This world seems different from what I remember, and I don't know how long I can stay in this state." Pang Meng's tone was somewhat somber.

Zu'an fell silent. After all, he wasn't an immortal, nor had he consumed the elixir of immortality. His survival until now was likely due to Feng Xi's demonic energy. Now that the demonic energy had been dispersed, his days were probably numbered.

"Are you all going any further? Ahead lies the Dongting Lake, the territory of the Xiu Snake. These creatures are incredibly fierce and highly venomous, so please be very careful." Pang Meng then gave a general description of the Xiu Snake's characteristics.

After thanking him, the group parted ways. Zu'an sighed, "This time it went relatively smoothly. I hope the next snake won't be too difficult to deal with."

Yan Xuehen looked at Yu Yanluo: "Since she is a snake clan member, Sister Yu should be able to communicate with her properly."

Yu Yanluo's face flushed: "I'll try my best."

Zu An looked at Yun Jianyue curiously: "Sister Yun, what's wrong? Why haven't you said a word since just now?"

“I don’t like that guy. The way he looked at me was off. I have a feeling he’s up to no good,” Yun Jianyue said.

Yan Xuehen's expression was strange: "You were like that just now...like that...who could possibly look at you the right way? Even Zu An..."

Suddenly, a faint voice echoed in their minds: "Watch out!"

The group's alarm bells rang. They turned around and saw Pang Meng with his bow drawn and arrows aimed at them. When he realized they had been discovered, he released the bowstring, and one arrow after another shot out, each one arriving before them like a meteor.

Sensing the arrow's exaggerated speed and terrifying aura, the group could roughly understand the despair that Jinwu felt back then.

Pang Meng's archery skills are indeed worthy of being the true inheritance of Yi!

Pang (pronounced 2nd tone) Meng is also called Feng Meng. Originally, I wrote Feng Meng for the sake of easy recognition, but after thinking about it, I decided to change it to Pang Meng for the whole time.
