"Keep your voice down."

The Poisonous Bat's face tightened, giving a low warning, and only then did the Charming Widow realize the cave behind them wasn't far away. Quietly, they both returned to the boat.

"Can that elder really do it?"

The Charming Widow asked anxiously, looking at the Poisonous Bat.

Once on the boat, the Poisonous Bat's face returned to its calm composure. She spoke slowly, "Celestial City Peak Spirit Medicine Sect!"

Just those six words silenced any of the Charming Widow's doubts.

It was like a golden signboard.

But her only worry started to align with that of the Poisonous Bat. What if the spirit stones they robbed weren't enough for the elder to test the medicine, or if they only had enough for one person? What then?

Thinking of this, she became anxious and looked at the Poisonous Bat. "Your blindness might not be a bad thing. Over the years, your hearing has surpassed your sight. If you suddenly regained vision, you might lose your reputation as the Poisonous Bat."

"I'm different. The charm poison has sunk into my marrow. If I don't find a way to deal with it, I might lose my mind. Then, I'd be worse off than a brothel woman."

Just imagining herself turning into someone who only knew how to indulge in desires, completely losing rationality, and throwing herself at any man she saw, made even someone like the Charming Widow turn pale with fear.

Many knew she killed her elder husband from the Hehuan Sect, but few knew her husband treated her like a plaything. He first planted charm poison in her, making her body extremely sensitive, and over time, she became more and more indulgent.

He later taught her the Confusion and Enchantment Technique, using it for his pleasure.

But the consequence of the charm poison sinking into one's marrow is terrifying. It might not take many years before the poison erupts, turning one into a beast driven solely by lust.

The Poisonous Bat remained silent. His blindness was due to a jealous senior brother's sneak attack. Though he had gotten used to the darkness over the years, who wouldn't want to see the light again?

"Let's unload the spirit stones first. We can't expect the elder to move them himself, and the boat needs to be destroyed quickly, without leaving any trace."

The Poisonous Bat sighed and motioned for the Charming Widow to enter the cargo hold. They carried the spirit stones to a wide corner of the lake shore.

If it really comes to it, I'll get rid of him!

If it really comes to it, I'll finish her!

As they moved the stones, each had their sinister thoughts.

The next day!

At the break of dawn, with a hint of morning light.

Han Yu was awakened by a thunderous roar, which startled him into jumping up, crashing into the inn's ceiling, creating a skylight before falling back down.

Looking around, everything was calm. The room was tidy, with just a tea table and a bed.

It turned out the so-called thunderous roar was the sound of the Glazed Bottle in his Sea of Consciousness, and the Little Artifact Spirit's voice filled the entire space. "Ha ha ha! Look how scared you were."

Han Yu's face darkened immediately, cursing in his Sea of Consciousness, "Can't you just quietly refine the pills? What's with all the noise?"

Glass made a tut-tut sound. "Today's pills, Ping gives them to me."

Surprised, Han Yu quickly observed his Sea of Consciousness. Sure enough, there were still only two pills. The Little Artifact Spirit then urged, "I had Ping wake you because I'm about to have something to eat. Quick, get outside."

Seeing the Little Artifact Spirit's constant urging, Han Yu washed up quickly and headed out.

In the morning, Ink Cloud City was gradually coming to life. Han Yu was pestered by noises as he strolled the streets. Suddenly, the Glazed Bottle shuddered violently, followed by the Little Artifact Spirit's urgent voice.

"To the city gate, quickly."

Han Yu sighed helplessly and hurried towards the city gate. By the time he arrived, a crowd had already gathered.

The townspeople, coming and going, seemed to all crowd around, chatting animatedly.

Easily pushing his way through with his formidable physique, Han Yu saw a young man, around twenty, with disheveled long hair and a handsome face, but looking quite tattered.

Blood stained his gray robe, and he carried a knife in one hand and a human head in the other, limping into the city.

"Isn't that the Lin Family's young master Lin Fei?"

"Isn't the head in his hand that of Ye Hai, the wanted cultivator? Amazing!"

In the crowd, a sneering cultivator commented, "Ye Hai was just a Divine Bridge cultivator. What's so hard about killing him."

A townsfolk retorted, "But didn't they say the Lin Family young master had no talent for cultivation? How did he kill a cultivator?"

The sneering cultivator's face changed, intently watching the staggering figure. "Impossible. He's really just an ordinary swordsman who killed a Divine Bridge cultivator!"

Han Yu couldn't help but ask, "Is he the one you're looking for?"

No response from the Glazed Bottle, and the Little Artifact Spirit remained unusually silent, which was strange, as it was rare to see such a reaction from it.

"Could we have the wrong person?"

The Little Artifact Spirit finally broke the silence, explaining, "I just find him exceedingly odd, trying to figure out how to proceed."

Meanwhile, the crowd followed Young Master Lin as he moved towards the city, exchanging whispers once they arrived at their destination.

Ink Cloud Government Office!

Why had he come here?

As he approached the office gates, several Palace Guards came to stop him.

"Government Office, no unauthorized entry!"
