“How did their examination go, Xiao Yin? Were you able to remove the potion?” Zhao Yao asked as she looked at the three women lying down like dolls.

Xiao Yin shook her head. “I’ve tried several methods for it, but I can’t remove it, so we can only hope that master can find the old woman as soon as possible. Otherwise, they will be like this forever, and we will never be able to restore them.”

“Can’t Yun’er’s flame remove it?”

“No.” Xiao Yin explained it to her. “Nu Shen did say that, but my master’s flame will still be useless, and the antidote is the only solution to normalize them.”

“I see.” Zhao Yao then contacted Ling Yun to tell him about it, but he was obviously busy torturing Huang Ba. ‘Sigh, I’ll contact him later.’ “Do you think Hundun can breach this subspace?”

“No, only Zhou Yu can breach into this subspace.”

“That’s good.” Zhao Yao released a sigh of relief. “We already have a lot of enemies now, so I don’t want us to make any more enemies.”

Xiao Yin nodded in agreement with that. “Anyway, master was planning to go to that tower, and he was planning to dual cultivate with all of you first. Besides, he told me that he would leave quite a lot of his yang qi, and I was thinking about increasing its effectiveness, so it would be more useful.”

“Can you really do that?” Zhao Yao asked in disbelief.

“I’m not sure about it yet, so I’ll try it first, and I hope it will work.”

“Hmm?” Zhao Yao thought for some time before speaking to her. “I think you can discuss this with Sister Ruxue first, and she might have a solution to increase the effectiveness of Yun’er’s yang qi.”

“Yes, I will talk to her after this.”

Meanwhile, a woman with a leopard-like appearance sat opposite Ren Shou and Jiu Tianxin, and her expression was serious after she heard their explanation about Feng Bing’er and Feng Yujie. “Do you really feel such a thing from them?”

“Yes, Master Xue Bao.” Jiu Tianxin replied with a nod. “I’m sure that the two beast women are not ordinary beasts; their fire element is much more pure than any beast, so I think that they might be mythical or immortal beasts.”

“If your story is true, then there is a possibility that they are at least mythical beasts.” Xue Bao answered as she nodded. “However, the beasts at that level have high pride, and they are not easy to conquer; even I myself am not sure that I will be able to conquer them, especially since their bloodlines are higher than mine. Moreover, you said that their protectors are powerful, so I think it would be better if we don’t get into trouble with them.”

“But master, if we can subdue those two beast women, we can increase our reputation in the sect.” Ren Shou said to her.

Xue Bao sighed and spoke to him. “Shou’er, I know that you feel weak because you are lagging behind your junior brothers, but you should know that our lives are more important than our reputation, so you don’t need to chase something that is impossible for you to achieve.”

Even so, Ren Shou couldn’t accept his master’s words. “Master, don’t you always say that we cultivate to defy the heavens? Isn’t that more impossible than subduing those two beast women? Moreover, we used to be very weak, and we had to live in suffering, but our two ancestors were able to turn the impossible into possible, so we can live freely now.”

“I agree with him, Master.” Jiu Tianxin also didn’t want to give up on getting the two beast women. “I know that their protector is strong, but there are still many who are stronger than her, including Elder Zhu and Sect Master Long. Moreover, those beast women are weak, so I think we can subdue them as long as we can distract her.”

Xue Bao looked at them with raised eyebrows. “You’re both right; Zhu Hong and Long De are indeed strong, and they can stop their protector. However, they will be interested in subduing them if they know about their identities, and we won’t gain anything from that.”

The two fell into deep thought after listening to their master’s words, and Jiu Tianxin then spoke to her again. “How about you track their whereabouts first, Master? We’ll think of a way to subdue them once we find them, and we’ll ask Elder Zhu for help if we can’t do anything about them.”

“Master, I think we can do that.” Xue Bao immediately turned to Ren Shou. “Even if we fail to get them, if Elder Zhu is interested in getting them, they will be useful to our races, so I don’t mind that.”

“Those two beast women will indeed be useful to us, and the humans will no longer dare underestimate us if we succeed in subduing and strengthening them.” Xue Bao then got up from her seat. “Let’s go; we will go look for them, but this realm is vast, and it might be difficult to look for them.”

Ren Shou and Jiu Tianxin exchanged excited glances after hearing that, and they immediately followed Xue Bao away from the house.

In a hall, a man and a woman stood in front of several people, but they had become dolls, and Nangong Xianglin asked her big brother. “Are you satisfied now, Brother?”

“Haha! After we planned this for so long, they finally fell into my hands, and no other clan will be able to surpass my Nangong Clan in this southern region.” Nangong Yuhai said that as he pulled the woman, who was none other than Xiong Mei, into his arms. “I’ve wanted this woman for a long time, and she will be mine after today. However, we still have to think of a way to remove their slave marks from our souls, or they will control our lives forever.”

“En.” Nangong Xiangling nodded at him. “But how can we do that, brother? Over the past years, we have tried so many ways, but we never succeeded in doing so, and we actually received backlash when we tried to get rid of it.”

“I’ve been looking for information about someone for a long time, and he is an expert in soul techniques, so I’m sure that he can help us to remove it.” Nangong Xiangling turned to him in surprise. “However, he lives in a realm quite far away, and Huang Xiaoxian has been keeping an eye on me, so I haven’t had the chance to meet him.”

“Who is that person? And in which realm does he live?”

“His name is Hun Linwang, and he comes from the spirit race, but he lives in the Starry Realm.”

Huang Xiangling then conveyed her idea. “What if I go there to meet him? Huang Xiaoxian doesn’t seem to care much about me, and she only watches over you and my sister-in-law, so she won’t care if I go to that realm.”

“I think you can do that.” Nangong Yuhai then passed the flying artifact to him. “Huang Ba isn’t in this city right now, so it would be better if you left now, or you won’t have a chance if he comes back here.”

“All right, I will go now, and I hope that that person can truly remove the slave mark in our souls.” After she said that, Nangong Xiangling immediately left the hall, and she flew away using her brother’s flying artifact.

Nangong Yuhai, with an expression full of joy, brought Xiong Mei to one of the rooms in the clan, and he immediately had fun with her.

However, both of them did not realize that Qian Ye was watching them from a distance, and her expression was completely angry because her husband did not tell her about it. ‘Bastard! He cares more about that bitch! I have to contact Young Master Huang right now.’

Unfortunately, Huang Ba was trapped in hell within the Dream Space, so Qian Ye couldn’t contact him. ‘Damn it! Where is he now? Didn’t he go to Song City before?’

After she thought for some time, Qian Ye took out her flying artifact, and she intended to look for Huang Ba in Song City.

Sometime later, Meng Xianzi had arrived above the Nangong Clan residence, but she frowned because she could not find Nangong Yuhai and the others.

“I think they must be in the Ouyang Clan now.” Lyra said to Meng Xianzi.

“Yes, I think so.”

Just as Nu Shen was about to fly her flying artifact to the Ouyang Clan, Ao Yangyu and Bai Yaowei arrived beside them, and they were surprised by the presence of the two elves. “I didn’t expect you to be in this realm, Princess Nu Shen.”

“Long time no see, Senior Yangyu.” Nu Shen greeted her back.

“That’s true; the last time we met was when I accompanied Big Sis Yu to the elven realm.” Ao Yangyu then checked into the Nangong Clan. “Looks like we’re late, huh?”

“I think they are at the Ouyang Clan now, so we should go there now.” Meng Xianzi said to her.

“Wait a minute.” Ao Yangu then turned her head toward the distance. “Tian Huang is here; his flying artifact is truly as fast as usual.” 𝘪𝑎.𝒸𝘰

Nu Shen laughed at that. “Senior Huang is Uncle Xian Di’s disciple, and he was the one who gave it to him.”
