Before Lou Mu could stop her, a wisp of eerie blue flame appeared at Tang Nian's fingertip. With a casual wave of her hand, the sparks landed on the surrounding rooftops, quickly igniting into a raging fire.

Hearing the panicked sounds below, Tang Nian craned her neck and looked around, seemingly searching for something.

"Tang Nian, don't forget you can't kill people!"

Seeing the fire burning more and more fiercely, Lou Mu couldn't help but remind him.

Tang Nian waved her hand dismissively and replied, "I know what I'm doing."

Lou Mu sighed, knowing that Tang Nian would not give up until she found Ming Huan today, so he took Tang Nian's hand.

"Come with me."

Following the scent, Lou Mu led Tang Nian through the air, turning left and right, until they finally stopped in front of a door.

The house was pitch black inside, and the courtyard gate was heavily guarded.

Tang Nian poked a hole in the window and crouched down to look inside.

It was pitch black inside, and you couldn't see anything.

At that moment, intermittent breathing could be heard coming from inside the house.

Just as Tang Nian was about to push the door open, Lou Mu grabbed her arm.

"Don't you think something's wrong?"

Lou Mu pursed his lips, trying to comfort Tang Nian.

“Ming Huan is not human. Even if he is on the verge of death, his aura would not be so unstable. I suspect there may be a formation inside.”

Tang Nian was flustered by her concern, but fortunately Lou Mu was able to remain calm beside her.

She thought about it and agreed, and withdrew her outstretched hand.

Both she and Lou Mu were still injured, especially Lou Mu. If they entered some kind of formation again, it would take a lot of effort.

If they fail to rescue Ming Huan and end up getting themselves killed, wouldn't that be a huge loss?

But we have to find a way.

If that's the case, then why doesn't she just lure people over?

Thinking this, Tang Nian raised her hand, sparks flew from her fingertips, and set the row of houses ablaze.

This time, the mansion became completely lively.

Lou Mu was speechless at the sight before him, but thankfully he reacted quickly, pulling Tang Nian aside and casting a spell to become invisible.

Before long, a group of people strode into the courtyard.

"Is this the important figure?"

Tang Nian peeked out and immediately saw the person walking at the front, who was wrapped up tightly.

All that can be seen is that he is a person; his age, gender, and appearance are completely indistinguishable.

However, the copper bell at her waist looked much more exquisite than Master Lu's.

"He is one of the Wu tribesmen who are working for Da Gan. Master Lu, whom you met in the military camp, is just his disciple."

"They seem to have some ability, but not much."

Tang Nian curled her lip and gave a sharp critique.

This is nothing compared to the old witch clan.

In the past, she might have given the Wu Clan some face, but now, if this kind of person can be called an adult, then the Wu Clan is nothing to fear.

"I heard that there was an internal strife within the Wu tribe. Some people chose to retreat to the mountains and forests, while others sought official positions by working for Da Gan."

Lou Mu explained, then thought for a moment and reminded Tang Nian, "Don't underestimate the Witch Clan. Don't forget what made them famous back then."

"I know."

Tang Nian never showed any contempt for the Wu Clan.

Since entering the world, the Wu tribe has always relied on underhanded means to establish its authority, and many demon tribes have suffered as a result.

Even Tang Nian, this ferocious beast, was once tricked by the Witch Clan.

However, the Witch Clan also paid the price for plotting against her.

The cloaked figure stood before the door, stretched out his withered hand, drew a talisman in the air, and then pushed open the door.

The people behind him stood in unison on either side of the door, their eyes fixed straight ahead.

As the cloaked figure entered the house and the door slowly closed, the two exchanged a glance and quickly rushed inside.

The room was empty, devoid of anything, yet a faint smell of blood could be detected.

Tang Nian could clearly sense that after entering the house, he looked around and breathed a sigh of relief.

He was about to leave when he suddenly remembered something, walked to a corner of the room, and activated a mechanism.

Suddenly, the floor in the middle of the room caved in, revealing a large black hole.

Seeing the cloaked man enter the cave, the two quickly followed him inside.

There are no secret passages inside; once you go down the steps, you enter a secret room.

In the center of the secret room, a man's hands were suspended by iron chains, and his whole body was hanging in mid-air.

His long hair covered his face, and his head hung down. He only moved slightly when he heard the sound.

If Lou Mu hadn't been desperately holding Tang Nian back, Tang Nian would have already rushed up and torn this witch clan member to pieces.

Who would have thought that Ming Huan, a Bifang, would be ravaged into this state?

Tang Nian clenched one fist tightly and held Lou Mu's hand with the other.

She had considered all sorts of scenarios after meeting Ming Huan, and she could even accept that all the bad things that had happened before were Ming Huan's doing.

I never imagined he would turn out like this, as if he would vanish in the wind at the slightest touch.

The cloaked figure effortlessly picked up the porcelain bowl and dagger from the table and slowly walked towards Ming Huan, step by step.

"Hmph, if that demoness hadn't let those demonic beasts go, I wouldn't have come back to collect blood so quickly. If you want to blame someone, blame that woman."

Upon hearing this, Minghuan's eyes lit up, but the light vanished in an instant.

Sister Tang came to his rescue, but I don't know if he can hold on until then...

Tang Nian couldn't wait any longer.

Lou Mu was also furious. This time, he didn't stop her and let Tang Nian reveal herself. He slapped the cloaked figure on the back.

The cloaked figure never imagined that someone would still break in despite the tight security outside.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, which splattered onto Ming Huan's raised face.

Ming Huan stared blankly at Tang Nian's face, his mouth slightly open, but he was in unbearable pain, and his expression became somewhat ferocious for a moment.

Tang Nian's eyes reddened, and the sword behind her was drawn, striking the iron chain.

Before the cloaked figure could even feel smug, his eyes widened as if he had seen something unbelievable.

With a sharp clang, the iron chain snapped, and Lou Mu caught Ming Huan the instant he hit the ground.

"How...how is this possible..."

As soon as the cloaked man spoke, blood began to spurt from his mouth.

The cloak slipped off his head, revealing a face covered in spots and wrinkles.

As the cloak fell away, his gray hair was casually draped over his shoulders, tinged with bright red.

Tang Nian kept a straight face, even though she hadn't expected that this seemingly upright man was actually such an old man.

Yet this old man did something so outrageous.

She picked up the broken chain from the ground with suspicion; it seemed to be stronger than an ordinary chain.

She was a good material, it's just a pity that she met her and her sword.

Tang Nian raised her longsword, the tip pointing directly at the old man.

There seemed to be muffled thunder coming from outside.

Lou Mu was somewhat worried, but he pursed his lips and squatted down to take care of Ming Huan without saying a word.

"No, no, Grandma, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."
