Lan Ziye narrowed his eyes and glanced at the bat demon. He obviously didn't believe what it said. He turned to look at Xiaobai and asked, "What's going on?"

The bat demon's heart suddenly tightened. Before Xiaobai could say anything, he spoke again, "The Wan family's Patriarch has no intention of harming you. He simply admires your abilities so much that he wants to adopt you as his adopted daughter. Xiaobai and Young Master Chu both know this!"

"What qualifications does he have to acknowledge the Master as his adopted daughter? He's not even fit to carry the Master's shoes. He's truly clueless!" Xiaobai said bitterly. "Furthermore, he's forcibly taking the Master to the Wan family before she even wakes up. This clearly shows ill intentions. Don't you have even a little bit of intelligence? Or have you been in cahoots with them to frame the Master?"

"It's unfair! The head of the Wan family wanted to adopt Miss Lan as his adopted daughter. Liuli was jealous and wanted to kill Miss Lan. It was me who risked my life to save Miss Lan!" The bat demon retorted.

"Then why did Zeng Li die? And not even her body was left?" Xiaobai said sadly.

"What did you say?" Lan Ziye's eyes widened instantly, and he said with an expression of disbelief.

Xiaobai glared at the bat demon with gritted teeth and said, "It was this fellow who harbored selfish motives and colluded with the Wan family's head to bring Master to the Wan family. He didn't take Master away immediately, which led to Zeng Li being beaten to death by the Wan family's head, leaving no trace of her body! If it weren't for Young Master Chu's timely arrival, Master, you would be in the Wan family now! You are unconscious and unconscious, and there is no telling what the Wan family's head would do to you."

Whenever Xiaobai thinks of this, he feels scared!

"Is that so?" Lan Ziye looked at the bat demon with cold eyes, speaking coldly word by word.

The bat demon shuddered, as if sensing the breath of death. Without hesitation, he quickly argued, "The Wan family truly has no ill intentions! Besides, Miss Lan, I'm not your Shikigami. You simply kidnapped me to exchange for Essence Stones. Soon, my people will gather enough Essence Stones to redeem me. You can't do anything to me."

Lan Ziye sneered, "You're right. In my eyes, you're a spirit stone, so I can forgive any mistakes you make! But you shouldn't have let Zeng Li die because of you."

The bat demon's bad premonition grew stronger. He trembled and said, "Zeng Li's death has nothing to do with me. She overestimated her own abilities and brought this upon herself! You can't put the blame on me!"

"Really?" Lan Ziye sneered again, "It seems you don't understand me yet! Zeng Li is mine. Anyone who hurts my people will pay the price tenfold or a hundredfold. Zeng Li is dead, and no one involved in this matter will survive!"

The bat demon felt his blood solidify in an instant, his whole body became stiff and unable to move, and he didn't even have the strength to spread his wings and escape.

Immediately afterwards, he felt a powerful force suddenly shooting out from his body, as if it was going to tear him apart, and huge pain came over him like an overwhelming force.

This is the power of Lan Ziye's contract. If the master wants to kill a Shikigami, he only needs a thought!

Then, countless purple rays were seen shooting out from the bat demon's body. The bat demon stared with a pair of terrified eyes and a distorted face. Under the cover of the purple rays, it turned into powder and disappeared completely!
