Mu Shuangshuang was slightly taken aback: "Window of opportunity?"
“Not bad.” Mo Yan said coldly, hands clasped in his pockets, “Now many high-ranking members of the demon race have gone to Huanzhou to cause trouble, and the Blood Sect has also sent many people to make arrangements in Lizhou. Even if they wanted to interfere in the internal strife of the Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, they wouldn’t have much spare power! This is the best time for us to clean up our internal affairs and get rid of Poison Old Ghost!”
Mu Shuangshuang frowned slightly: "But Mother said before that it would be best to wait until she breaks through to the late stage of the Void Realm before..."
"Wait?" Mo Yan interrupted her, mocking, "You've been dragging your feet, waiting for that female scorpion to improve her cultivation level. In my opinion, that's like slowly boiling a frog in water; it only gives the other side more time to prepare!"
"Even if your mother breaks through to the late stage of the Void Realm, she is no match for Old Poison Ghost. Her greatest reliance is nothing more than the needle in her butt!"
Mu Shuangshuang: "..."
"I don't deny that the Death Tail Needle is indeed powerful. Even a Taixu Realm expert wouldn't dare to ignore it. But the problem is... both the Death Tail Needle and I are well-known brands!"
She turned around, looked directly into Mu Shuangshuang's eyes, and said, word by word:
"Since it's a brand name, the other party will definitely be on guard! If you can't find any other usable trump cards that the other party doesn't know about, then dragging it out will be pointless. It will only allow Poison Old Ghost to become more and more prepared and tighten his net!"
"Instead of waiting passively, let's turn the tables and take advantage of the current window of opportunity when external pressure is at its lowest to launch a surprise attack!"
A long silence fell over the room.
Only the dark clouds outside the window drifted slowly, casting ever-changing shadows.
Mu Shuangshuang lowered her head, her eyes showing some hesitation.
She understood the reasoning Mo Yan was giving, but... taking the initiative meant a complete falling out, a bloodbath, and a fight to the death!
If we are defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable...
This involves not only her and Mu Qingqing's lives, but also the entire Scorpion Palace, and even the entire Ten Thousand Poisons Sect's future structure for the next few hundred years.
Finally, she raised her head, her voice a little hoarse:
"I can't make the decision on this matter; I have to discuss it with my mother."
Seemingly expecting her to say that, Mo Yan waved her hand dismissively, sat back down in her chair, and said casually, "Discussion is no problem, but... just tell her that this young lady won't wait for you again, this is her only chance, and let her decide for herself!"
"..."
Mu Shuangshuang suddenly felt a headache.
Why is this guy threatening us?
If only my husband were here... I doubt anyone in this world could handle this wretched vine except him...
"Oh right, that stinky scorpion."
"Hmm?" Mu Shuangshuang looked up.
"Before that, there is one more small matter that we need to take care of first."
"What's up?"
Mo Yan held her teacup, a wicked smile slowly curving her pale, delicate face: "First, take out the... traitors within your ranks!"
...
The next day, Shen Yunhao and his group returned to the prison cell deep underground.
This time, the two wolf guards were waiting at the gate early. When they saw Shen Yunhao and Zhuzhu arrive, they simply bowed silently and then stepped forward to open the gate.
One of the guards took out a palm-sized, dark gold metal token from his pocket and handed it to Shen Yunhao.
The token has an ancient design, with densely packed tiny runes engraved on its surface, and it is currently emitting an extremely faint pale golden glow.
"Sir!" the guard said respectfully, "Our Cleansing Mantra is created from this item. When worn, it generates a protective shield against blood energy. However, protecting against blood energy will continuously consume the energy inside the token, and once the energy is depleted, it will take time to recover on its own."
He paused, then added, "This token is fully charged. If you carry it with you, it may provide some protection."
Shen Yunhao was slightly taken aback upon hearing this.
He originally thought that the Heart-Cleansing Mantra Seal was some kind of disposable paper talisman, and that each one used would reduce the remaining supply, which was why the wolf clan seemed so stingy.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a reusable but "energy-cooling" fixed ritual implement.
This explains why the two guards could only last for half an incense stick's time yesterday... The tokens they had had limited energy; once they ran out, they had to withdraw and wait for it to regenerate. And within the wolf clan, there probably weren't many of these tokens.
Shen Yunhao nodded and did not refuse.
Upon receiving the token, it felt slightly heavy in my hand, with a warm and smooth texture, unlike metal, more like some kind of warm jade.
As a pale golden light enveloped his entire body, the lingering stench of blood and decay that had been emanating from his nose was instantly largely shut off.
"nice one!"
He put the token into his pocket, nodded to the two guards, and then, with Zhuzhu behind him, stepped through the iron gate that exuded an ominous aura once again.
This time, neither Bai Xiaoruo nor Lei Yucheng came along; they pretended to go out for a stroll instead…
Inside the cell, the suffocating darkness remained, though the dark red smell of blood in the air seemed to have faded slightly compared to yesterday.
Not far away, the huge white wolf was still chained in the darkness, motionless and silent, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
This treatment was much easier. Under the suppression of the demon race in the Spirit Void Realm, the giant wolf had no chance to resist. As for the rampant evil soul blood energy, it was easily neutralized by the power of the Vast Ocean Heart Origin that Shen Yunhao had left for Zhuzhu in advance.
Although there were only the two of them inside the cell, Shen Yunhao still dared not rashly use the Vast Ocean Heart to expand his domain, fearing that someone might be watching from behind the walls...
Seeing that Zhuzhu easily suppressed the white wolf, Shen Yunhao felt relieved and stepped forward to begin administering acupuncture.
However... if you pay close attention, you'll probably notice that the spot where Shen Yunhao got his needles today is completely different from yesterday!
For some reason, before coming here, Qing Teng called Mo Yan for a long time but no one answered. Shen Yunhao had no choice but to bite the bullet and insert the needles himself. Fortunately, the bodies of demons are generally quite strong, so a few needle pricks won't hurt him...
After completing the acupuncture and acupuncture treatment, he reached out and gently pressed his hand on the giant wolf's soft belly, injecting the purifying power of the Vast Ocean Heart into the giant wolf's body.
The entire treatment process went surprisingly smoothly.
Under the absolute suppression of the pearl, the giant wolf could not even struggle and could only passively accept the purification. The scarlet aura quickly dissolved and dissipated under the wash of the water blue ripples.
While maintaining the output of the Vast Ocean Heart, Shen Yunhao also felt the texture of the fur under his hands.
After rubbing for a while, he nodded to himself.
I must say, it actually feels pretty good...
Although the Darkwing Snow Wolf's fur was a bit dirty and messy at the moment, it was of excellent quality, soft and thick, with the warmth unique to large canines. Its belly was especially soft, and one could feel the warm body temperature under the fur.
At this moment, Shen Yunhao remembered something and couldn't help but hum twice, muttering to himself.
That stinky fox... I wonder how long I'll have to beg and plead to get a touch on its belly in the future...
