In the wild dense forest...

The air was somewhat silent.

Song Yan quietly watched this old acquaintance from the beginning of his transmigration, and suddenly, sparked by a thought, laughed and said, "Dear wife, stop pretending."

Su Yao lowered her head, adopting an indifferent attitude, said, "I am already a prisoner; you can do whatever you want, just stop testing me."

Song Yan said, "The Nine-Child Demon Mother is a Celestial Demon above the Divine Infant; I have to be cautious."

After speaking, he looked at Su Yao's icy expression, laughed, and said, "Since you know I am Song Yan, why not treat me as an old friend, but instead act so distant? Could it be that you have been affected during the Celestial Demon's possession?"

Su Yao closed her eyes and said, "Go ahead, make me your servant. It saves me from overthinking, anyway... in these hundreds of years, I've gotten used to not being myself and hate the Celestial and Evil Demons extremely."

Song Yanqi said, "Don't you recognize me?"

Su Yao said, "I recognize you only too well."

After finishing, she added another sentence, "The secret of the Celestial Demon's evolution, I know it as clearly as you do, from merging with the Deceitful Demon Monk to now having all Four Noble Truths, doesn't require me to say how many lives you've devoured, right?"

Then, she sighed softly and said, "Nearly four hundred years... back then, I did give you this body, and once had cloudy and rainy times with you, full of love and hate, but I was young and ignorant then. You..."

A mocking smile appeared on her pretty face, then she opened her arms and said, "Why haven't you turned me into a slave yet, to spare me from saying things you don't want to hear. Once I am a slave, I will do whatever you want me to do. I won't need to struggle, and you won't need to worry, isn't that great?"

Song Yan said, "You said you were young and ignorant four hundred years ago, how do you know you're not still like that now?

I... have killed, have killed innocent people, but I'm not bloodthirsty.

As for the Four Noble Demon Monks, it's the power I obtained from killing a Celestial Calamity Beast."

He closed his eyes slightly, softly said, "You've been through several changes, yet you're still the same as back on the South Bamboo Peak..."

Su Yao shook her head and said, "I've changed, you've changed, South Bamboo Peak is no longer there. Now we carry complex and distorted souls beneath this body. No matter the youthful beauty of the body, the heart has long changed, what about the past can we talk about?"

Song Yan wanted to rebut but as various things crossed his mind, he suddenly laughed at himself, and said, "You're right."

Then, he slowly raised his hand, his finger pointed at Su Yao's forehead.

The Celestial Demon is merely a cause and effect, an evil thought. It itself is soulless, thus it needs to find a target with a Divine Soul to possess, and in this process, although the original owner loses all autonomy, they know very well what's happening outside and can learn plenty from the Celestial Demon's perspective and voice.

Su Yao certainly understood that this hand gesture Song Yan started with was most likely a kind of "enslavement" method.

She closed her eyes.

Song Yan put his hand down, then raised it again, put it down once more, and then quickly raised it again, inscribing a Blood Slave Ancient Talisman on Su Yao's forehead.

Su Yao opened her eyes and said, "This is not enough, this ancient talisman can only control my life and death but can't control my will. I know you have the Nine-Child Demon Mother Shackles, better use that lock."

Song Yan stared at her indifferently, and she responded with a smile.

"As you wish."

Song Yan coldly said, and then with a flick of his hand, he let out a gray light, locking it onto Su Yao.

The long-legged female cultivator did not resist, knowing she could not resist; she closed her eyes and then reopened them, bowed on one knee, and respectfully said, "Su Yao, greets the Master."

Song Yan turned over the Lingbo Ancient Race's storage bag he took earlier and then tossed it back, saying, "Return it to you, reinforce the array shield, help me protect, and meanwhile, think of how to enter the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm."

Su Yao complied softly, walked away quietly, and began to fiddle around, to repair the array shield previously pierced by Song Yan with a shot.

Although the array couldn't stop Song Yan, anyone below the Divine Infant would still need a lot of time to get in.

Song Yan began to digest the four shackles of the Nine-Child Demon Mother.

...

After a long time, the shackles were fully digested.

The number of shackles on Song Yan's third hand had changed from "one" to "five"; his Divine Soul Power was strengthened by a small margin again, can be said to be infinitely close to, or perhaps already above, the Divine Infant.

And the Nine-Child Demon Mother, who had lost four shackles and hastily retreated to the Sea of Suffering, could only have five shackles for a long time.

The Sea of Suffering cannot be recovered, to recover, the Nine-Child Demon Mother must descend once more, and then compensate the shackles through sacrifice... and this, no one knows how long it will take, or if the current world can even support it to do so anymore.

It seemed necessary for it to go to another world, to start slowly laying out its plan all over again, to even have hope.

...

Song Yan stood up, his Divine Sense scanned the surroundings, finding no abnormalities, then turned to look at Su Yao and said, "The Celestial Venerable Secret Realm is nearby, right?"

"Yes, Master."

"How long does it take to enter the Celestial Venerable Secret Realm?"

"To report to the Master, the Demon Mother collaborated with Vilampu and other demons to enter once, and it took half a month's time."

"Once?"

"Once."

"..."

Hearing the affirmative answer, Song Yan fell into silence, mumbling to himself in his heart, "How could it be once? Or is it that the white chess piece suppressing the Netherworld Corpse Demon was a coincidence Vilampu got from elsewhere?"

Then he estimated the time again.

Vilampu is very likely still dragged in Vilampu Demon Capital; it would take at least a month to get here, half a month... that's enough.

And even if Vilampu has other plans, but now holding 'Po Xu Red Flowers' in his hand, plus having Su Yao as a guide, it's enough for a fight.
