Ren Xiangxiang ran all the way, and as she watched the sun set behind the western mountains, she suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Mo You asked worriedly.

Ren Xiangxiang shook her head subconsciously, "I don't know, suddenly, I really miss my mother... I feel like something happened to her."

"Ahead lies the boundless wilderness," Mie Chenhuan pointed straight ahead.

The rolling hills are lightly veiled in a white gauze, dotted with a few small black dots.

"Are you familiar with Wuyinmao?" Ren Xiangxiang asked.

Mie Chenhuan snorted, "How could that be? I'm not one of your Qiling Mountain people."

Asking was pointless, so Ren Xiangxiang rolled her eyes at him and turned her attention to the hidden knife on Mie Chenhuan's back.

Xiao Cangdao's eyes were closed, whether he was unconscious or perhaps grieving, it was hard to tell. Granny Lizard's death was actually expected by them. She had noticed the strange tree when she entered the place earlier, and they were already dead.

Before nightfall, they arrived at Wuyinmao.

Liu Zhu hadn't expected that someone would come and clamor for the door to open again just a day later. Mie Chen Huan, carrying Xiao Cang Dao on his back, roared imposingly, "I'm carrying your Palace Master on my back. Why doesn't the Palace Master of the Yin Palace care?"

Palace Master?

Di Jin summoned Xiao Feilian. Xiao Feilian was present when the Yin Palace suddenly changed that day. She was a round-faced woman and looked somewhat flustered.

"Clan leader, what if he really is the Palace Master..."

Before she could finish speaking, Mie Chenhuan lost her patience and slashed at Liuzhu with her sword. A demonic wind raged, carrying with it a terrifying demonic aura that instantly swept across the surrounding area.

Liu Zhu took a step back, and Ye Honglanzhi and Kou Huai, who liked to join in the fun, also ran out after hearing the commotion.

"You little brat from the Ink Fox Clan, bring out your master's Heavenly Spirit Earthly Technique, let's join forces and cut this spider down!"

Mo You placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Liuzhu inwardly groaned and retreated repeatedly.

Kou Huai craned his neck to take a closer look, and suddenly realized that the face looked familiar. "Isn't that..."

"Junior Sister Ren!!!"

Kou Huai recognized the person who had come and couldn't help but shout.

The entrance was too close to where they were currently living. Whether it was intentional or not, Kou Huai's shout successfully woke He Wenwen, who was deep in thought, from her reverie.

By the time he realized what was happening, he was already at the entrance.

Ren Xiangxiang stared at He Wenwen through the barrier of the glazed spider, and said in unison.

How did you get here?

As soon as they finished speaking, the two replied almost simultaneously:

Why do you care why I'm here?

Liuzhu was stunned.

Mie Chenhuan was also stunned.

Only Mo You looked strange.

The little grass bud in the basket poked its head out, let out a "Wow!" and then wisely shrank back inside.

Ren Xiangxiang and the others entered Wuyinmao smoothly. Even Liuzhu, who was guarding the gate, couldn't help but sigh that it had been really lively here lately. It had been a long time since he had seen so many unfamiliar faces.

Di Jin has always been a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong, and is a notorious opportunist. Ever since she realized that she couldn't afford to offend Le Qing, she started to hide. Now, with the sudden return of Ye Hong Lan Zhi, followed by the demon master, the fox demon, and that damned Mie Chen Huan who appeared out of nowhere, there's no one she can afford to offend. So she simply made room for him and stopped showing her face.

All matters were handed over to Xiao Feilian, who had escaped from the Yin Palace and returned safely.

Xiao Feilian complained bitterly, but dared not speak out. He granted all Xiao Feilian's requests.

Whenever Le Qing had a spare moment, she would grab Ye Hong and Lan Zhi and reminisce about the past, showing no interest in what was happening here.

Ren Xiangxiang learned everything from Kou Huai, and was both surprised and delighted, but she still couldn't see Ren Fenghong, so she was a little disappointed.

He Wenwen's medical skills are no less than hers, and She Liuying still needs to rest.

"Making an antidote for the black dragonfly isn't difficult; the challenge lies in preventing injury in the first place," Ren Xiangxiang offered her perspective.

He Wenwen's face darkened, and she sneered, "Do you need to say that?"

"..." Ren Xiangxiang wanted to punch him again, but couldn't help but retort, "I didn't see you say anything, and now you won't let me say it?"

"..." He Wenwen choked, then coughed lightly, "What are your thoughts?"

Ren Xiangxiang looked at the black dragonfly struggling on the white gauze and analyzed to herself, saying, "The rat-head flower is afraid of water and fire... and that black dragonfly..."

"That thing flies around randomly, and it's not as afraid of fire as the rat-head flower, so the fire-chasing stone isn't very useful," He Wenwen answered for her.

Ren Xiangxiang glanced at him and continued to think, "But black dragonflies don't move around much at night. I'm wondering if they're afraid..."

She looked in the direction of the setting sun.

"You mean light?" He Wenwen also fell into deep thought. "That's too broad a scope, but we can give it a try."

He Wenwen seemed to have an idea, but Ren Xiangxiang couldn't help but interrupt him and ask, "Why didn't you go to the dangerous peaks?"

"Then why didn't you go back to Liuwu Forest?" He Wenwen rolled her eyes at her.

"What use would I be if I went back?" Ren Xiangxiang replied matter-of-factly.

He Wenwen replied without turning her head, "What you said is also my answer."

The two couldn't agree on anything and the conversation broke down after only a few words.

When Ren Xiangxiang returned to her residence, she first changed Xiao Cangdao's dressing, but she couldn't find Mo You anywhere.

"Xiangxiang, what do you want with him?" Caowa asked unhappily.

Ren Xiangxiang chuckled, "Uh... never mind, I'll go look around somewhere else. Caowa, don't run around!"

Grass Boy snorted angrily.

The white veil on her head was swaying precariously, covered with dragonfly claws.

Mo You was hiding behind a boulder, closing her eyes to regulate her breathing.

The demonic energy within his body surged, spreading from his dantian to his limbs and bones. The gentle demonic power brushed over his tired meridians, making him feel a little better. However, when it passed through his chest, it was suddenly blocked by another unexpected force.

The sudden backlash caught him off guard, leaving him no time to guide the surging demonic energy, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

He instinctively clutched his chest, his brow furrowing slightly.

Fortunately, the stinging pain quickly disappeared, as if it had all been his illusion.

This has been the case ever since Ren Xiangxiang rescued him from that damned cave. Ren Xiangxiang didn't notice anything amiss, and he only experienced occasional stagnation when using his demonic power.

The problem must be in his heart. Mo You wiped the blood from his lips and suddenly heard someone walking towards them.

"Mo You, so you were here."

Ren Xiangxiang saw Mo You standing not far away and inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

"You were looking for me?" Mo You asked.

"Why is there blood?" Ren Xiangxiang's expression became visibly tense, and she reached out to touch the corner of his lips.

"It's alright." Mo You stopped her hand.

"Don't push yourself." Ren Xiangxiang placed her hand on his pulse, her brows furrowed.

"When have I ever been more stubborn than you?" Mo You pulled her hand back and looked into the distance. "Your mother is awake. Aren't you going to go see her?"

"Hmm?" Ren Xiangxiang suddenly looked up.

Just a quarter of an hour ago, She Liuying was still fast asleep.

She slept for what seemed like an eternity, so long that she thought the child had come back to life.

Upon waking up, She Liuying was not surprised to hear that Ren Fenghong had already left, but his expression suddenly changed when he heard that Ren Xiangxiang was also there.

"mother……"

The door was pushed open, and sunlight streamed in.

The girl outside the door looked bewildered, cautiously keeping her distance from the woman on the bed, "I'm sorry..."

Sheliuying was so angry that she didn't know what to do. Anger and disappointment were intertwined in her heart, and she coughed violently.

"Uncle-Master, please don't be angry. It's not good for your recovery. Besides, you can count the number of times she's been obedient on one hand since she was a child. You should know that..."

He Wenwen, whether she was putting out a fire or pouring oil, had a gloating look on her face.

The next moment, She Liuying's icy gaze suddenly fell on him, "Why are you here too?"

This time it was Ren Xiangxiang's turn to laugh. She immediately said, "Mom, it's not worth getting angry over him. He's never been one to do things his own way. From childhood to adulthood, he's only been obedient a handful of times. You should know that..."

He Wenwen's face suddenly darkened, while Ren Xiangxiang gloated.

Sheliuying propped his forehead up, really not wanting to look at the two of them again. Neither of them was easy to deal with.

"Leaving aside He Wenwen for now, why don't you go back to Liuwu Forest?"

"Um... Mother..." Ren Xiangxiang forced a smile, while He Wenwen watched the spectacle while preparing the medicine.

"I wouldn't be of any help even if I went. Besides, Master probably already knows what happened. I sent her a mosquito repellent..."

As she spoke, Ren Xiangxiang's voice grew softer and softer.

"Is that demon with you?" Sheliuying asked again.

Ren Xiangxiang nodded timidly.

Shooting Shadow's gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Mother...actually, it was because of him that I..."

"Enough," Stream Shadow interrupted her. "Find a way to leave here, get to the Misty Forest, do you hear me?"

"But--"

"Aren't you going to listen to me anymore?"

Finally, the Stream Shadow got angry, and Ren Xiangxiang shrank back and stopped talking.

“I think…” He Wenwen suddenly interrupted their conversation, “It might be a little difficult to leave here now.”

He looked out the window as he spoke.

The number of dragonfly claws on the white gauze has doubled, and more dragonfly claws continue to fly upwards like moths to a flame.

One or two of them are of little use, but as their numbers increase, the white gauze cover begins to gradually fall. When it falls to a certain point, the white gauze cover will be unable to hold the enormous number of dragonfly claws and will break.

These are all obvious problems.

Since the Demon Refining Furnace in Devouring Bay was destroyed, Cun She was enraged and summoned all the Dragonfly Claws back, all of which rushed towards Boundless Grove.

After studying for a day and a night, He Wenwen and Ren Xiangxiang finally used He Wenwen's demon-refining furnace to refine four fist-sized multifaceted mirror stones.

It was extremely bright and eye-catching right out of the oven.

Ren Xiangxiang hurriedly gathered everyone together.

"Can this thing really deal with dragonflies?" Le Qing asked listlessly, finding it hard to believe.

"We'll know once we try," He Wenwen replied bluntly.

Le Qing's lips twitched, and she was about to step forward to take a piece when her shoulder suddenly felt heavy.

“I can give it a try.” Shu Zhuo snatched a piece before she could.

As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Honglanzhi and Mo You took one piece at the same time, leaving only one piece.

Xiao Cangdao, whose injuries had just healed, was in a hurry to retrieve it. Mie Chenhuan sighed, raised his hand, and the last multifaceted mirror stone slipped from Xiao Cangdao's hand and landed in Mie Chenhuan's palm.

The four split up and chose the four directions with the most dragonfly claws.

Mo You returned to the path they had come from. The dark mass of dragonfly claws swarmed towards him as soon as they saw a living person. But just as they flew over him, the multifaceted mirror on his body trembled, and the dragonfly claws immediately retreated as if they had been stung.

The Dragonfly Claws' reaction gave Mo You confidence. He suddenly dashed into the dark forest filled with Dragonfly Claws.

The Dragonfly Claw in the forest immediately erupted in chaos. At the same time, he sensed someone approaching. A demonic wind howled, a cold light swept through the air with unstoppable force, and the Ink Sorrow Sword moved with overwhelming momentum. The two demonic energies collided violently, and he was immediately stunned.

"Why is it you?"
