Once the surroundings quieted down again, Wang Wu continued his advancement with the second Acupoint Opening Demon Pill without hesitation.

However, this time, just as he started circulating his qi and blood, the Tiger Demon's tail seemed to have a spirit of its own. The tiger fur on it stood up like steel needles, piercing Wang Wu's wrists and ankles.

After all, being a Peak Third Grade Great Demon, its Lifebound Demon Soldiers were quite formidable.

In the blink of an eye, Wang Wu's wrists and ankles had been pierced, leaving bloody holes, while the tiger fur grew to over ten meters long, wrapping his entire body like a rice dumpling.

Wang Wu sighed exasperatedly, stopping his struggle and halting the circulation of his qi and blood, seemingly accepting his fate.

However, what he didn't expect was that the Tiger Demon's tail, taking advantage of him being bound like a dumpling, used some bizarre means to rip open Wang Wu's storage pouch, which was the storage pouch of She Shoujiu.

Goodness, this Tiger Demon dared to steal openly?

Interesting!

Wang Wu chuckled coldly in his heart, pretending not to notice.

Soon, after a thorough search by the Tiger Demon's tail, it truly found nothing of value.

As a result, the Tiger Demon's tail retracted the fur with a whisk, reverting to its original form.

After another brief moment, a small chick suddenly clucked atop the cage, laying an egg, which fell in, immediately hatching a little pheasant. It agilely stepped forward, expertly opening Wang Wu's storage pouch and poking its head inside for a search, which naturally yielded nothing.

"Cluck, cluck, cluck?"

The chick tilted its head, staring at the Tiger Demon's tail, whereas the tail, like a large cat's, lazily swayed twice, meaning, "Don't ask me, I found nothing either."

At this moment, a little puppy dashed out from a corner of the cage made by the Array Stone, whining and sniffing around the storage pouch in disbelief.

"Woof, woof, woof!"

"Cluck, cluck, cluck? Cluck, cluck!"

"Woof, woof?"

"Cluck!"

"Woof?"

"Cluck, cluck!"

"Woof!"

After a bout of exchange, the chick exploded on the spot, disintegrating into a puff of green smoke.

The puppy rammed its head into the cage and vanished with a pop.

The Tiger Demon's tail swayed twice, sprouting two tiny hands on its own, plucking a tiger fur, which transformed into another Tiger Demon's tail, retying Wang Wu's hands and feet before brazenly disappearing into the ground.

Apparently, they had confirmed that it was impossible for Wang Wu to have killed She Shoujiu.

Because by now, Wang Wu's attribute bar + Inheritance Soul Jade had translated their conversation, yes, even Wang Wu hadn't expected that.

Wolf Demon: Looks like this fellow was just unlucky enough to be framed!

Chicken Demon: Not necessarily, Old Bai's been in Shaman Village for a thousand years, seems the most honest, but his restaurant has always been the shadiest.

Wolf Demon: Shady? How shady, exactly, Little Chicken? Describe it in detail for me. Alas, my biggest regret in life is failing to win over Old Bai. I thought it was due to my lack of stature, but it turns out it's because Old Bai had a connection! My heart aches!

Chicken Demon: Zip it, are you not entertained by the chaos? This matter is complicated, let's not get involved.

Tiger Demon: Speaking of, why haven't the prominent figures responded yet? Logically, they'd never permit such malignant incidents.

Tree Demon: Piggy Great Sage might not emerge from seclusion for fifty years; Turtle Celestial King wouldn't budge even if the earth split, so with its cultivation technique, there'd be no changes even after a thousand years. These two are simply biding their time. As for that Celestial Realm Eldest Master of the Human Race, don't count on him; the last time he left seclusion was five hundred years ago. He didn't even come out when Eldest Master Cangyun reached his limit days ago.

Chicken Demon: Old Tree's got the inside scoop, what's your take on this incident? Any exclusive secrets?

Tree Demon: Heh, heh.

Chicken Demon: Don't be like this, Brother Tree, how about I let you have some fun, huh?

Tiger Demon: Shut up, you chicken!

Wolf Demon: Little Chicken sister, I want some fun too! Awooo~

Chicken Demon: Eye roll~

Tree Demon: Don't ask, even if you do, I don't know, but Old Bai indeed has some secrets. Like, it only had ten years of lifespan left initially. Also, it might have stolen the full Five Elements Pill Formula because it has secretly amassed a lot of materials over the years, and has been attempting to refine the Five Elements Spirit Pill, but without success. Otherwise, the effects of the Five Elements Spirit Pill could heal its hidden injuries~

Tiger Demon: What! Five Elements Pill Formula! Old Tree, are you joking? Human race cultivators treat the complete Five Elements Pill Formula as a supreme treasure; cultivators below Third Grade aren't even qualified to learn the whole text. Until now, circulated versions are all incomplete, and the Human Race just used the Ginseng Vitality Pill, a single formula, to leverage Centipede Ridge! Moreover, how could Old Bai have stolen it?

Tree Demon: Old Bai couldn't steal it by itself, but what if it had accomplices?

Wolf Demon: Accomplices? The second Snake Demon, impossible, that's not true! Tell us quickly, Old Tree, if necessary, I too will let you have some fun!

Tiger Demon: Damn it, crazy dog, get lost!

Tree Demon: I don't know, that's all I know, but this matter is really unusual. The reason I'm telling you is because we're all on good terms, so don't get involved in this mess, careful not to follow in Old Bai's footsteps. Old Bai died miserably, once such a good little White Snake, so pure white. In short, there won't be an Eldest Master intervening in this matter anytime soon. Even the Second Grade Masters probably won't care. They came to Shaman Village to capture Evil Wind, not to solve cases. That's it, I'll leave some tree branches around casually, you guys do what you want.

——

End of conversation, translated excellently, explaining why the Tiger Demon, Chicken Demon, and Wolf Demon started to go easy.

What happens next?

Is he going to be left here, to fend for himself?

Wang Wu had just thought of this when he saw a furry little ball roll in from somewhere. It was actually a small Mouse Demon, but with the cultivation of Fourth Grade, which was considered quite formidable in Shaman Village.

That's why it was bold enough to come and scavenge.

In the end, after searching the storage pouch, it naturally found nothing.

That was fine, but the Mouse Demon started to rummage through Wang Wu's body.

Oh, this hateful dead rat.

Wang Wu glared at it fiercely, what is this?!

But rather than abiding, the Mouse Demon started taunting directly.

"Hey hey, Little Bear, don't glare, just accept your bad luck and take it with a smile, I'm feeling generous today, don't make me angry!"

True Mouse Treasure!

Damn it!

The Mouse Demon swept away most of the materials from Wang Wu's storage pouch and left triumphantly.

Wang Wu was so angry that his veins popped, but he didn't dare curse loudly, utterly like a wronged, helpless, pitiful, weak little bear.

But he knew what was going on.

He could even guess what was going to happen next, and he welcomed it.

Sure enough, not long after the Mouse Demon left, a Leopard Demon came, and after it a Human Race Cultivator appeared. Seriously, you're a respectable cultivator, doing petty thievery?

Thick eyebrows, big eyes, truly disgraceful for the Human Race.

Yet, this old man was really something; after discovering Wang Wu's emptied storage pouch, he took the pouch itself. Moreover, he started probing Wang Wu.

Had it not been for two more unexpected guests coming, this old man would have tried to take Wang Wu's Bear Gall!

Anyway, throughout the day, thirty-seven demons and twelve Human Race Cultivators came to pay a visit.

By now, probably everyone in Shaman Village knew Wang Wu had nothing to offer, just a poor soul falsely accused.

Considering Shaman Village's rules, they can't take the Bear Gall or remove the Bear's Paw, so Wang Wu was left to fend for himself. After all, who knows when the Eldest Masters would have the time or energy to look into this?

Of course, while turning into a tourist attraction little bear, bustling and noisy, Wang Wu took the opportunity to upgrade the remaining two Acupoint Opening Demon Pills to Overlord Body Demon Pills.

The effect wasn't over the top, just raising his Life Value and Physical Strength limit to 9500 points, agility, Power, Defense to 182 points, and Vitality limit to 24700 points.

The Overlord Demon Technique automatically rose to Level 3...

Finally, it was completely quiet, the night wind gently blowing, rustling leaves, and a human figure crawled out of the shadows, a pretty woman with big flashing eyes.

She squatted before Wang Wu, watched him for a while, then suddenly laughed, "Xiong Wu, you're quite patient, your Passive Concealment Talent so strong, how could these pathetic ones find you, yet you deliberately exposed a flaw to let them catch you, so you want revenge for She Shoujiu?"

"Ah, poor my Sister Nineteen, all her efforts wasted. I told you not to get emotionally involved with Snake Guards, see, now you're in a predicament? Or do you think you really have a chance of killing me?"

Wang Wu looked at her, said nothing, didn't move. In Shaman Village, acting rashly was taboo, plus this might not be that renegade Snake Guard's true body.

"Oh, so patient, a bit smart, knowing not to act rashly, also knowing I wouldn't really kill you, but you're still so foolish. Why would I kill you? It's the Snake Guard Mark on you that I want."

While speaking, this woman made the same mark gesture, attempting to activate the Snake Guard Mark.

At that moment, the blood within Wang Wu's body subtly vibrated, a sign of the Snake Guard Mark resonating.

However, the next moment, he activated Level 3 Overlord Body, instantly cutting off the Snake Guard Mark's resonance. This demon technique could exempt all negative states of the same level within three seconds.

Used here, it was very effective. What counted as a negative state was naturally for Wang Wu to say.

The next moment, the woman glanced at Wang Wu, a cold smile on her lips, saying nothing more. After waiting three seconds, she once again formed the seal, attempting to activate the Snake Guard Mark.

But Wang Wu didn't care, directly releasing Level 3 Overlord Body at the moment she was about to succeed, forcefully interrupting.

Then ensued a back-and-forth, she attacking, he blocking, advancing and retreating, the battle fierce, skies and earth dark, impossible to unravel.

This woman formed the seal twelve times in one go, all forcefully interrupted.

Though for this Wang Wu paid with 12,000 points of Vitality, the woman turned pale, blood flowing from seven openings, fainting to the ground.

For such a method of resonating with the Snake Guard Mark, how could there be no price?
