Shang Xiye and Wuying collected the golden liquid from the Blood Cicada.

Before leaving, Wuying subconsciously glanced back at the soft couch.

Without the influence of the Blood Cicada's allure, Wuying finally saw the "beauty's" true colors. He tripped as he was stepping out the door, almost stumbling and falling out – the Empress Dowager was just too disgusting.

Hearing the commotion of the stupid guards behind him, Shang Xiye couldn't help but smile.

Although his situation is getting worse, his mood is becoming brighter and warmer because he has a group of reliable and caring family members around him.

Guided by the dots on the communication jade slip, Shang Xiye and Wuying successfully arrived at Ji Fengyao's location.

After everyone reunited.

Ji Fengyao then dispelled the illusionary killing formation and secretly sent the antidote for the sleeping powder to the Empress Dowager.

"Here, this is the golden liquid collected from that strange fleshy ball. Aunt Sun mentioned the Blood Cicada's allure before, and I guess the Blood Cicada she was referring to is that strange fleshy ball," Shang Xiye said, handing two jade bottles to Ji Fengyao as if presenting a treasure.

The names of things are mostly different in different worlds, and Ji Fengyao was also quite unfamiliar with the name "Blood Cicada".

She told the three maids to stay away, and then took an antidote pill before opening the jade bottle.

Peeking inside, Ji Fengyao burst out laughing: "Wow, wow! It really is that thing! And it's pure gold!"

"Your Highness, what kind of wonderful thing is this?" Bai Lu asked curiously as she leaned closer.

Ji Fengyao quickly stuffed an antidote pill into Bai Lu's mouth.

A sudden realization dawned on her: "I know what that strange meat is now, it's the Heart of the Blood Demon!"

"The Heart of the Blood Demon, what is that?" Xi Que also took an antidote pill and leaned over to curiously examine the jade bottle.

Shang Xiye frowned upon hearing this, and a scene of a world filled with blood inexplicably came to mind: a boundless pool of blood, in which countless terrifying monsters roared, struggled, and tore at each other.

"The Heart of the Blood Demon is the heart of the Blood Demon. This golden liquid is the heart's blood of the Blood Demon, formed by absorbing the essence of countless lives," Ji Fengyao explained in a clear and melodious voice. "The heart's blood of low-level Blood Demons within the last hundred years is no different from that of ordinary humans, and it will be dark red when cut open; the heart's blood of high-level Blood Demons within the last five hundred years is crimson or orange; only the heart's blood of top-grade Blood Demons over a thousand years old is golden. And this Heart of the Blood Demon has existed for at least a thousand years!"

Xique and Bailu were both astonished: "More than a thousand years!"

"Yaoyao, the Blood Demon you mentioned..." Shang Xiye's expression was serious. Since he embarked on the path of cultivation and delved deeper into the investigation of the Black Purgatory, he felt that the world he knew was becoming more and more bizarre and fantastical.

Ji Fengyao then remembered the origin of the Blood Demon, and her playful expression immediately turned serious: "Oh right, the Blood Demon is something that only exists in the blood pool of the Demon Clan. How could there be a Blood Demon Heart in this world?"

Does this world not only have cultivators, but also demons?!

Ji Fengyao shivered.

She remembered the black dragon that had captured her in her past life; it was the leader of the demon race.

Its cultivation was boundless; it could turn clouds upside down with a wave of its hand and bring rain with a waving of its hand.

If it weren't for the fact that the spiritual energy of the human world has an innate ability to restrain the demon race, making it difficult for them to set foot on the continent, it would be uncertain who would dominate the rise and fall of the Danling Continent.

Back then, when her master broke into the Demon Palace to save her, he relied solely on the abundance of various elixirs he possessed. Although the two escaped, they were still severely injured by the Black Dragon.
