The monkey-like man said, "You guessed right. The Celestial Venerable didn't just attack me, but an entire group... truly, the Celestial Venerable was the strongest in the Ancient Era of this world.

Were it not for being hit by him, I wouldn't have known his burial ground, nor could I have discovered that Celestial Venerable Secret Realm.

However, to enter the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm, one must use the Netherworld's Qi from the Bosatsu Shaka to divert the guards, or else it would be... "

He didn't continue speaking, just shook his head, clearly indicating this approach was infeasible.

The stiff woman nodded in agreement.

The strongest of an era, how could his secret realm, also his burial ground, be simple?

The three continued walking for a while.

The monkey-like man seemed incapable of resting for a moment, and he spoke again at this point: "Speaking of which, I recently heard that another Celestial Venerable emerged from the Ancient Race, called Formless Celestial Venerable, supposedly the reincarnation of the current Celestial Venerable, truly laughable."

Despite saying it was laughable, there was not a hint of amusement in his eyes, but rather a deep cold hatred.

The stiff woman said, "It's fake."

The monkey-like man said, "I know."

At this moment, the three had arrived at a thoroughly collapsed ruin and came to a halt.

The stiff woman said, "That person has fled."

The monkey-like man looked speechless, complaining, "That damned thing is too cautious, isn't it? Just up and left? I haven't even exposed any aura."

The stiff woman looked towards the center, respectfully asked, "Demon Mother, what should we do?"

Demon Mother Su Yao didn't answer but suddenly stopped walking, her gaze resting on a distant Shadow Puppet crow.

She watched the Shadow Puppet crow.

The Shadow Puppet crow tried to lower its head, but there was no time.

Demon Mother Su Yao instantly appeared at the Shadow Puppet crow's perch, flicked her finger, lifting the crow, its shadow claws gripping her creamy white fingertip.

The monkey-like man and the stiff woman came rushing in.

The monkey-like man stared at the crow and chuckled, "Oh, that damned thing is still spying on us? Demon Mother..."

His words died suddenly.

Because he saw a certain indescribable allure appear on the Demon Mother's face.

So, he shut his mouth, suddenly realizing that the Nine-Child Demon Mother might actually know the damned thing he spoke of.

Demon Mother Su Yao looked at the Shadow Puppet crow, chuckling, "I wondered why this slippery feeling was so familiar; turns out it's my dear husband. Husband, did you forget our vows? When promised to be together, it means to be together forever!"

Suddenly, as if she realized something, she sternly said, "Don't even think of running, if you run now, I will strike immediately!"

Crow Song Yan then said, "Congratulations, Yao'Er, for finally being able to descend in your true form. I am truly happy for you."

Demon Mother Su Yao laughed heartily, her cheeks turning redder with her laughter, gazing passionately into the crow's eyes as if seeing Song Yan far away through space.

"What makes me happiest is that after descending in my true form, I was able to encounter my husband so quickly. How do people say it in the human world? Something about...what?"

She pondered, turning to her two henchmen.

The stiff woman vigorously shook her head.

The monkey-like man said, "A thousand miles are not too far for a meeting."

Demon Mother Su Yao nodded, "Precisely. My husband and I are meant to meet across a thousand miles, ultimately... not of one family, not into one house."

Her gaze was tender like autumn water, lips slightly parted, as she asked, "Husband, where are you?"

Crow Song Yan said, "I miss you, I miss the place where we first met, ah... do you still remember that beautiful time on the mountain?"

Demon Mother Su Yao's fingertip suddenly shot out a rapid black shackle shadow, her smile glowing, increasingly gentle, "I remember."

The shadow swiftly grasped onto a lingering thought in the Shadow Puppet crow.

The thought exploded in an instant.

But as soon as the shadow locked onto that thought, a second lock swiftly pursued the direction to the thought's source!

In the cave, Song Yan only saw a terrifying shackle fall from the sky, grabbing at him.

A long-forgotten dread sprouted from the depths of his heart.

However, he reacted quickly, pushing forward with the Changwang Melting Furnace, prayer beads, and his Ghost Mother Shackles.

BOOM!!

Song Yan felt dizzy, staggering back a few steps, and suddenly slumped against the cold stone wall behind the Nether Tree, sweat streaming down.

However, he also timely repelled that airborne grab from the Nine-Child Demon Mother.

Song Yan was panting heavily, pupils constricting, muttering, "It really succeeded completely in the sacrifice, if Demon Monk levels are equivalent to Divine Infant, then it's actually above Divine Infant now... What should I do?"

He fiercely clenched his teeth, his face turning shadowy and fierce in the darkness.

Just then, he suddenly saw a slender, black, and chilly root slowly crawling out from the ground, like small fingers crawling 'pala pala' across the ground until it stopped beside his finger, then gently rubbing against his palm, as if sensing his frustration and quietly comforting him.
