Jiang Qingwan lazily stuffed the talisman back into her purse.
She didn't want to pay any attention to Mo Yunhan, so she turned around and walked in the direction the hunchbacked man had left.
The ground was uneven, and there were no lights, making it really difficult to chase.
Mo Yunhan's voice came from behind her, tinged with a hint of mockery.
Should I carry you or hug you?
Jiang Qingwan turned around, and Ye Qi immediately turned his back as if he couldn't see her.
The man's aloof and ethereal face was hidden in the dim light and shadow, his eyes were piercing, but his expression was indistinct.
If we delay any longer, we might really lose the chance to catch up.
This place was so filthy that she didn't want to stay there for long. She then spread her arms wide, like a soft, pliable little animal that anyone could easily knead.
"back."
Mo Yunhan smiled, did as he was told, stepped forward, scooped the person up in his arms, and with a light push of his feet, darted several steps away.
He took two pills refined by Jiang Qingwan.
His martial arts skills have improved significantly.
Their lightness skill was like that of a swallow in flight, so light that even the sound of their clothes gliding by was very soft.
Jiang Qingwan was annoyed. She reached out and pinched his waist, and when he looked down, she defiantly twitched her nose in protest.
Little did they know how alluring their docile, quiet, and unassuming appearance was.
The man's smile deepened, his large hand tightened slightly, but the muscles in his waist relaxed a little.
The hunchbacked man in front of us was walking very fast.
Clearly, they also know some martial arts, and being familiar with the environment, they can easily lose track of you if you're not careful.
There are very few places to stand on high up in the culvert, and the view is severely obstructed.
After running for about half an incense stick's time, Mo Yunhan suddenly stopped on a broken stone wall.
The stone wall provided very little space to stand, so he simply bent down and, instead of letting her go, allowed Jiang Qingwan to sit steadily on his bent thighs.
Not far away, the hunchbacked man was gesturing at something in the darkness, speaking with unusual excitement.
The distance was too far, and Jiang Qingwan couldn't hear anything with her hearing.
She was just about to find a rat or cockroach, make a puppet out of talisman paper, and send it over when she felt a warm breath near her ear, making her ears tingle.
She instinctively flinched, but then she heard Mo Yunhan say...
"Someone asked about suppressing demons?"
"Their methods are very powerful; all the magical artifacts have been destroyed."
"..."
Jiang Qingwan knew he had heard what the hunchbacked man said, and she endured the tingling discomfort while waiting for him to continue.
After waiting for a long time, there was still no sound.
She looked up anxiously, but the man looked down at that moment, and their lips almost touched.
A masculine aura wafted over, carrying a cool, chilly fragrance like that of winter plum blossoms.
The face so close to mine was too beautiful.
Those eyes were like a vast, all-encompassing galaxy, captivating at first glance.
Jiang Qingwan's heart was pounding wildly in confusion. She forgot to dodge, and her thoughts were racing uncontrollably.
What is demon suppression?
The man's voice was seductive and deep.
She answered instinctively, "A kind of talisman that can suppress all demons and spirits, there's no cure, it's from the Zhuge Clan..."
Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly steadied herself and precisely caught the fleeting, chilling glint in the man's eyes.
Suddenly, the sound of birds spreading their wings rang out from ahead.
She quickly turned her head and saw hundreds of dark figures flying out from the dark place opposite the hunchbacked man.
Countless small, crimson eyes, filled with bloodlust and malice, lunged towards where she and Mo Yunhan were.
"Don't do it!"
She used one hand to stop Mo Yunhan, who was about to strike her away, and quickly gathered spiritual energy in the other hand.
An invisible barrier quickly unfolded in front of the two of them.
The crows flew through the barrier and past their bodies as if they were in an empty field, swooping down towards Ye Qi, who had just landed not far behind them.
Ye Qi frantically drew his sword and slashed.
The crows that were struck turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared, only to quickly coalesce into new crows with blood-red eyes surrounding them, making them even more terrifying.
Mo Yunhan snapped out of his daze at the bizarre phenomenon of the crow piercing through his body.
Is it an illusion?
"No, it has a physical form."
Jiang Qingwan gave a casual explanation, but her eyes were fixed on the spot where the crow had just flown away.
The hunchbacked man was still standing there, half of his body swallowed by darkness, and beneath his disheveled hair, his eyes seemed to be faintly glowing red.
"Mo Yunhan, go save them."
She suddenly grabbed the man's wrist.
Mo Yunhan nodded.
"Stand still, I'll go bring Ye Qi over."
"It's not Ye Qi, it's that hunchback. Take me with you, quick."
Jiang Qingwan was getting anxious.
Without delay, Mo Yunhan grabbed her waist and sped away.
“Drag him out of the darkness.”
As they drew nearer, Jiang Qingwan hugged his neck as a signal.
At the same time, a small hand rested on his elbow, and a golden light spread towards the outstretched hand.
The darkness was pierced by gold. The moment Mo Yunhan's hand touched the hunchbacked man, the man screamed in agony as his body was strangely torn to pieces.
Blood splattered everywhere, and a huge crow burst out from the carnage with a piercing cry, only to vanish before Mo Yunhan and Jiang Qingwan.
Those blood-red eyes, as big as a child's fist, clearly reflected Jiang Qingwan's face.
"What exactly is this thing?"
Mo Yunhan held Jiang Qingwan tightly and quickly dodged the splattering blood and flesh.
With the disappearance of the large crow, all the small crows that attacked Night Seven also vanished.
Ye Qi immediately rushed over with his sword.
"My lord, are you all alright?"
Mo Yunhan shook his head.
Ye Qi then clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Qingwan.
