Song Yan squinted and observed the surroundings, then grabbed a piece of silver ingot, pinched off a sesame-sized piece in front of him, and said, "One bowl, please."

The middle-aged man collected the money and quickly prepared the wontons.

Before long, a steaming bowl of wontons appeared in front of Song Yan.

Song Yan wiped his chopsticks and ate the wontons while perceiving his surroundings.

About halfway through eating, he swept his Divine Sense around but still found nothing.

'What exactly is it?'

He frowned, pondering.

The middle-aged man saw his worried expression and noticed the lack of customers around, so he plopped down beside him on the long bench and laughed, "Today you have wine, today you should be merry. In this world, human life is as cheap as grass, and you, young master, at least have a bowl of wontons today, so why be sad? Hahaha!"

He laughed and then continued, "My mother, wife, daughter, all perished in the calamity, and yet I'm still living carefree, am I not? I don't have the ability to kill the Celestial Calamity Beast, but watching the Immortals slay the beasts on the fringes of the small town is also fun!"

In such a small town, sharing one's troubles and talking about one's tragic life was the best way to resonate with people, and then conversations would start.

Hearing this, Song Yan joined in the conversation on this topic.

As he chatted, his tension eased considerably, and he felt he had been overly worried. He couldn't help but think to himself, 'It was just a momentary crisis, and it's been gone for a day now. My doppelganger has already arrived nearby, why worry...'

Before he finished thinking, Song Yan suddenly stood up.

No!

He was indeed worried!

Better safe than sorry, even for a momentary danger, precaution must be taken, never relax!

Then, Song Yan cupped his hands to the wonton shop owner and, with a flash, became an Escape Light and flew swiftly towards the heartland of the Formless Ancient Country, while the Corpse Demon doppelganger quickly approached from another direction to join him.

...

...

A few days later, in a wilderness, Song Yan stopped by the lakeside for a brief rest.

But just as he stopped, he sensed something wrong.

The feeling of anomaly arose in an instant, and Song Yan decided to no longer rest, his body moved, intent on continuing to flee.

But at that moment, he saw an invisible shackle breaking through the air towards him. Before he could react, the shackle penetrated his body, winding towards his Divine Soul.

Song Yan reacted extremely quickly, the Changwang Melting Furnace instantly burned, repelling the shackles; the prayer beads flew rapidly, colliding with the shackles, each collision bringing intense tremors to his Divine Soul.

In an instant, Song Yan started bleeding from all seven orifices, his body in severe pain, and hiding in the Changwang Melting Furnace, his Divine Soul felt as though struck by lightning, almost splitting open.

At the same time, the Corpse Demon Song Yan transformed into black light, swiftly soared in the direction of the shackles, and launched a punch.

In the clouds, the outline of a long-legged female cultivator flickered intermittently.

Yet the female cultivator said nothing, the second shackle was swiftly launched.

But midway, the female cultivator seemed to sense something amiss, hurriedly retracting the shackles, including the first one, then her figure flickered like a ghost, landing lightly on the ground.

And the punch from the Corpse Demon Song Yan came down.

The air turned scorching, burning, and the violent currents began distorting the scenery around, as if a graceful natural ink painting was casually crumpled by a coarse hand unversed in art appreciation.

At this moment, a pitch-black whirlwind accompanied by buzzing insect sounds swept from behind the female cultivator and collided with that punch.

The whirlwind dissipates!

The punch also temporarily withdrew.

The Corpse Demon Song Yan swiftly retreated, positioned himself in front of Song Yan.

Song Yan swept his Divine Sense out, spotting two figures slowly emerging from the forest.

Both were old acquaintances, one was Demon Mother Su Yao, the other was actually Vilampu!

When both sides met, neither wasted words, a bout of confrontation took place first, but after the engagement, realizing neither was easy to handle, they temporarily returned to peace.

Yet whether it was Song Yan, or Demon Mother Su Yao, and Vilampu, there was a sense of uncertainty.

"Did you enter the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm and took a look at your master?"

"Where did you find your helper?"

Both sides spoke simultaneously.

Song Yan didn't ask "Why Vilampu is here," because when Vilampu appeared, he already had his answer in mind: the chaos of the world provided objective conditions. And Vilampu must have gained some opportunity, which provided subjective conditions.

As for "how Vilampu could track him," it was also a question unnecessary to ask, because Vilampu must have acquired some favorable means, ensuring she could lock his true self. And this opportunity level was likely high, even if his "Free Celestial Demon Map" could deceive Celestial Demons, it couldn't fool Vilampu.

Recalling the twin-headed creature beneath the Ancient Divine Celestial Venerable's feet, Song Yan instantly pierced through with his words.

If you entered the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm, your expression would tell me the answer.

If you didn't enter, or even didn't know, then my words sow discord.

In contrast, Demon Mother Su Yao's question seemed more straightforward.

In the next moment, Demon Mother Su Yao laughed in a hauntingly sweet tone, complaining, "Husband, you heartless man, I searched high and low for you and couldn't find you. Didn't we promise to be together for life?"

Song Yan was bleeding all over, blinking his eyes, glanced at the calm-faced Vilampu, then at Demon Mother Su Yao. Suddenly, his body moved sharply, transforming into a rainbow light, shooting into the distance.

"Where are you going!"

Demon Mother Su Yao exclaimed fiercely.

But just as Song Yan soared out, the Corpse Demon Song Yan launched another punch towards Demon Mother Su Yao.

Demon Mother Su Yao intended to unleash the Demon Mother Shackles, but seeing the black light coming again, she couldn't help but look irritated, and sneered, "You're meddling in other people's affairs a bit too much."
