"Where is this? Baiyue!" Yan Lingji looked at the familiar place in front of her, speechless with surprise. Just a moment ago she was in Blood Robe Fortress, and in the blink of an eye she was in Baiyue, hundreds of kilometers away, and it was the place where she lived.
"Wushuang, have you thought through the question I gave you?" Wang Han asked Wushuang.
"I've thought it through. I'm willing to leave the Baiyue Heavenly Group and follow Yan Lingji to help her become the new Baiyue King," Wushuang said after thinking for a moment.
“That’s a satisfactory answer,” Wang Han nodded. He said, “Yan Lingji, pack your things and wait for me here. Within a week, I will make you the new king of Baiyue.”
After saying that, Wang Han took a step and disappeared from their sight.

"Master, Yan Lingji has been estranged from us for half a year. Why didn't we capture her then? She would secretly leave almost every seven days, and it was around that time that her strength began to increase rapidly." In a thatched hut, the Corpse-Driving Demon asked Tianze in confusion.
"Do you know why Yan Lingji's strength suddenly increased?" Tianze asked.
Upon hearing this, both the Corpse-Driving Demon and the Hundred Poisons King shook their heads. "Every time we track Yan Lingji, we lose her halfway through."
“Of course, I also tried to follow Yan Lingji, and like you, I lost her halfway through,” Tianze said, shaking his head. “But what’s certain is that in the past six months, every seven days, she would go to see someone, and after returning, she would practice kung fu and fire techniques. That person is very powerful; he’s the one guiding Yan Lingji. The reason we couldn’t follow Yan Lingji is also because of the master who guided her. Otherwise, we would have been to the places Yan Lingji went to several times, so how could we have gotten lost while trying to follow her?”
"Then, if we poison Yan Lingji, won't that...?" the Hundred Poison King said with some worry. The expert Yan Lingji went to see was obviously extremely powerful.
“Yan Lingji was captured by Xueyi Hou. Countless Baiyue girls have died at Xueyi Hou’s hands. The Hundred Poison King’s poison will also prevent her from seeing the sunrise today. We have all been poisoned, and given last night’s situation, it’s reasonable for Yan Lingji, who had the most strength preserved, to stay behind to cover the retreat.” Tianze said, “With Yan Lingji dead, the expert who guided her will only direct his anger at Xueyi Hou. We can also use that mysterious expert to get rid of Xueyi Hou.”
"Can Wushuang find the place?" the Corpse-Driving Demon asked. Wushuang had no idea about the truth, and with his intelligence, he wouldn't suspect anything, so there was nothing to worry about.
"We'll definitely find it," Tianze said.
"Then why kill Yan Lingji? Wouldn't it have been better to rely on Yan Lingji to win over that mysterious expert?" The voice of the Hundred Poisons King rang out.
Upon hearing this, both the Corpse-Driving Demon and Tianze glanced at the Hundred Poison King with a strange look, since the Hundred Poison King knew about it.
"I think Yan Ling Ji can play an even greater role." The Hundred Poison King simply lowered his head. Tian Ze and the Corpse-Driving Demon couldn't see the Hundred Poison King's eyes.
“It is indeed a pity that Yan Lingji died like this.” Tianze shook his head and said, “But Yan Lingji grew too fast, and with a powerful master behind her, she was already too much of a threat. If we continue to let her grow, she might get out of our control and even become an obstacle. Rather than waiting for her to get out of our control, we should make the most of her last bit of value.”
"Is that so? So you want to poison her? What a selfish thing to do." Wang Han's voice rang out, and the invisible Wang Han appeared behind Tian Ze.
"Not good." Upon hearing the unfamiliar voice, Tianze immediately darted forward, simultaneously drawing his weapon and slashing behind him to prevent pursuit. He then turned around, warily eyeing the people behind him. The Corpse-Driving Demon also immediately jumped back. Only the Hundred Poison King remained still. If one looked closely, one would notice that the Hundred Poison King's gaze was vacant, with three inconspicuous tomoe spinning within it.
“Your plan was indeed excellent. I killed Blood-Clad Marquis this morning,” Wang Han said. “However, Yan Lingji is not dead. You will be disappointed. I once taught her how to burn the poison with the flames in her body. She held on until I went to save her. Moreover, before I went to kill Blood-Clad Marquis, I had already figured out everything through my own methods. I knew that you were the ones who poisoned her.”
"So you're the mysterious expert who secretly met with Yan Lingji?" Tianze looked at Wang Han warily.
"It's me," Wang Han said, instantly drawing his Miao sword and slashing at the Corpse-Driving Demon.
"The Corpse-Driving Demon creates and drives zombies to fight for him. You are not qualified to play tricks on me."
"How is this possible?" The corpse-driving demon's hand, which he had quietly raised, froze. A red line appeared above his head, splitting his entire body in two, and the soul-summoning bell in his hand also split in two.
"What powerful sword energy!" Tianze was shocked when he saw this. He immediately tried to break through the window of the house to escape, but the mysterious man's long sword did not even touch the Corpse-Driving Demon. The sword energy alone easily split the Corpse-Driving Demon in two.
“I’ve been practicing combos lately, I’ll give you a very enjoyable way to die, at least you won’t be too shattered.” Before Tianze could crash out of the window, Wang Han grabbed Tianze’s foot and pulled him back. His hand holding the Miao sword swung out instantly.
"Phantom Sword Dance".
