Fan Mingzhu did not approach, but only watched Shi Xuan's "miserable state" from afar, as if admiring a painting.

After a while, seeing that Shi Xuan was still "struggling" in the demonic energy and unable to escape, he left satisfied.

At this point, killing Shi Xuan once was no longer her goal. Fan Mingzhu wanted Shi Xuan to relive the pain she had experienced, to destroy her will little by little, to watch her struggle in the abyss of suffering, to watch her fall into the demonic path and become a demonic cultivator, to watch her be betrayed by everyone, and finally to be killed by her closest relatives.

Only such an outcome can bring her comfort and make her feel relieved.

Shi Xuan noticed Fan Mingzhu the moment she appeared and has been on guard against her ever since.

Then she noticed that Fan Mingzhu didn't make a move; she just stood there quietly watching, and left when she had seen enough.

Shi Xuan was busy dealing with the demonic energy, so he didn't bother with her. There was still plenty of time; dealing with Fan Mingzhu wouldn't make a difference.

Both felt confident they could defeat the other, and each held their own agenda, so they refrained from fighting. After a while of observing each other in peace, Fan Mingzhu withdrew.

The demonic energy contained in this monster is extremely pure. If it were converted into spiritual energy, it would be as pure as the spiritual stone house on the top floor of a nine-story pagoda.

Shi Xuan was ruthless in her absorption; once one batch was ruined, she would go looking for the next.

This is the Eternal Abyss of Demons, teeming with countless monsters; as soon as one batch passes through, another awaits.

As Shi Xuan absorbed their demonic energy, he moved on. By the end of the night, most of the demons here had been eliminated.

Fan Mingzhu couldn't imagine how such a demon could trap Shi Xuan inside without affecting her in the slightest.

On the contrary, her cultivation level actually improved significantly.

If it weren't for the fact that her internal organs, meridians, and entire body structure had been modified in the void, she would probably have already advanced two minor stages by now.

However, given the bottomless pit within her body, she could clearly feel a significant improvement, demonstrating the immense energy contained within this demonic energy.

As dawn broke, the monsters hid and stopped attacking people.

However, Shi Xuan did not want to let them go during the day.

Even if they hide, she can find them wherever her divine sense reaches.

Thus, Shi Xuan's state changed from being chased by demons in the dark of night to chasing demons in the daytime.

She had spent the whole night eliminating most of the monsters in the original location, so Shi Xuan moved to another spot to continue.

Compared to the night, the obvious difference is that at night, the monsters would actively appear and attack her, while during the day, she completely used the monsters as a source of spiritual energy, and they did not put up any resistance.

Fan Mingzhu reappeared, just like yesterday, watching Shi Xuan from afar.

Shi Xuan looked a bit dirtier and messier than yesterday, and she had moved to a new place.

Perhaps she felt that the monster only appeared in the original area, and that it wouldn't attack her if she moved to another place?

That's just wishful thinking.

Fan Mingzhu chuckled and said, "How was it? The Demon Abyss was quite a treat, wasn't it? Did you enjoy it very much last night?"

Shi Xuan turned to face Fan Mingzhu and smiled slightly, "You know, it's really good. Thank you for your hospitality."

Fan Mingzhu simply didn't believe that she really thought that way, after all, she had personally come to see Shi Xuan's "miserable state" last night.

"Ha, stubborn as an idiot!" Fan Mingzhu assumed she was just unwilling to show weakness in front of her. "If you can enjoy it, that's great. Besides, stop making those futile struggles. Even if you change places, it won't change anything! Haha!"

Shi Xuan raised an eyebrow, thinking to himself that Fan Mingzhu's conclusion didn't seem to be wrong from a logical point of view.

Why not make her happy?

Shi Xuan nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your concern, but I think you should take better care of yourself."

As she spoke, she swung her sword at Fan Mingzhu. The sword's momentum pierced through the air, leaving a pale red streak as it hurtled straight towards Fan Mingzhu.

Fan Mingzhu is no longer the same as before. She has become a demonic cultivator who has reached the level of a demon general, which is equivalent to the Void Refining stage in the cultivation world, and is comparable to Lin Daozi.

She didn't take Shi Xuan, a cultivator at the second stage of the Nascent Soul realm, seriously at all.

At this moment, she only saw it as a game of cat and mouse with Shi Xuan, with her as the cat and Shi Xuan as the mouse.

A cat won't kill a mouse in one go until it's had enough fun with it.

Therefore, when Shi Xuan swung his sword, she had no intention of fighting him at all.

She retreated rapidly, laughing as she did so, completely disregarding Shi Xuan's attack: "Hahaha, I'm not playing with you anymore. There are plenty of things here for you to play with. You can have your fun."

As she spoke, she vanished from the spot, leaving only Shi Xuan standing there.

Shi Xuan had no intention of pursuing her. Fan Mingzhu was in charge here, and he didn't want to make any rash moves.

It's not necessarily a bad thing to make Fan Mingzhu think she's being assimilated by monsters. Lowering her guard and making her believe she's being tortured is also a way to buy time.

Because Shi Xuan suddenly had a bold idea... If this Demon Abyss is the source of demonic energy, what would happen if she exhausted the demonic energy here?

She wanted to know.

This requires not arousing Fan Mingzhu's suspicion.

So when Fan Mingzhu came again the next evening, she saw that Shi Xuan was even more flustered than the day before.

She struggled and writhed in the black mist, swinging her sword wildly left and right without any strategy, looking as if she was struggling to stay afloat.

Fan Mingzhu scoffed. "Even so, she still keeps being stubborn. She's really persistent."

They'll be exposed at night.

Seeing her being tormented by the monster, Fan Mingzhu felt extremely pleased.

Shi Xuan only started her exaggerated performance after noticing Fan Mingzhu's approach.

Back in the day, her acting skills earned her a large sum of spirit stones in the black market arena.

Despite not having acted for many years, he showed no signs of rustiness and remained as natural as ever.

Just look at Fan Mingzhu's expression and you'll know she's really taken it seriously.

Shi Xuan accelerated the absorption of the demons, and the workload that night was twice that of yesterday.

Even during the day, she didn't stop; she continued searching for traces of the monster.

Fan Mingzhu is here again.

On this day, Shi Xuan looked even more disheveled than the day before. Not only was his hair disheveled, but his face was also covered in dust, and his eyes were not as clear as yesterday.
