On Li Ye’s fair hand, the snake bite marks, though small, were spreading deep crimson spiritual light around.
Like viscous, foul-slling blood.
He could feel the fiery, burning pain spreading, yet he remained unhurried, even taking ti to observe:
"An attack on the soul and divine sense."
"Tsk, it should be the red-scaled fire snake from the Southern Domain."
"I wonder who’s stronger, you or the Tribulation Fire?"
As his words fell.
The Tribulation Fire Spirit, which had long been bouncing impatiently, extended its spirituality through the venom.
Brashly and recklessly, charging headlong.
Entirely unconcerned whether the opponent had the power to trap the spirit body.
Only it could act this way, after all, it was the Tribulation Fire Spirit, there surely exist treasures capable of containing it, yet such encounters wouldn’t co easily.
A re Golden Core red-scaled snake naturally couldn’t stop it.
As the Tribulation Fire Spirit followed the Emotion Song and Demon-Suppressing Tree burning.
On the other side, expecting Li Ye to cry out in agony, Chiling saw the Tribulation Fire igniting on her hand.
"!!!"
"Ahhhh!"
When she noticed, the fire’s pain had already spread, burning every part of her divine soul, unable to resist.
The intense pain made her collapse instantly, her clothes in disarray, rolling vigorously, even revealing her true form, but no matter how she struggled, the Tribulation Fire burned unhurriedly.
Eventually, it burned most of her soul, with a small portion absorbed into the Tribulation Fire.
Leaving only an unscathed corpse lying on the ground.
Only then did the Tribulation Fire Spirit slowly erge, hovering in mid-air, seemingly unsatisfied.
A grand mid-period Golden Core Great Demon, easily resolved.
"Humph."
Li Ye casually waved his hand.
The bite marks on his wrist imdiately faded, disappearing entirely.
A Golden Core trying to damage his soul?
An utter joke.
Yet since this Great Demon had been lurking, it indicated the other party probably knew Shuang Li was under his control.
How much of the information Shuang Li provided was true or false is yet to be seen.
So was it really just this one Great Demon?
Perhaps go see for himself.
Li Ye pondered, then pulled out a clay doll, instructing it: "I need your help."
"Through the Demon-Suppressing Tree and Emotion Song, send a thread of power from Xiangshui House to create the portal on the other side."
"So I can pass through."
The clay doll listened to Li Ye’s instructions and nodded.
"Yiya!"
Waving its chubby arms like lotus roots, it drew a thread of power from Xiangshui House.
Then passed through the Demon-Suppressing Tree.
Gradually forming a pure, immaculate domain beside the ailing Shuang Li.
A portal rose from the ground.
Seeming like an ordinary wooden door in a mortal’s dwelling, but as the door was pushed open, Li Ye stepped right out.
The vast distance easily traversed, at the cost of Xiangshui House’s spiritual power halved.
"Hmm."
Li Ye rubbed his brow.
Though Xiangshui House’s spiritual power is extrely special, this long-distance teleportation array left him a bit dizzy.
After a pause, he retrieved the Tribulation Fire Spirit, taking the part of the red-scaled snake’s soul it enclosed.
Then he turned to the cooling Shuang Li, lightly tapping his finger.
A glow, like spring revival, enveloped the giant wolf, driving away all toxins and death qi.
—This divine technique was inspired by the Great Disc on the Four Qi and the Nourishnt of the Spirit sealed by the Spirit Turtle in Inner Canon of the Yellow Emperor.
Once deployed, it could revive withered wood, bloom rotten wood.
Treating Shuang Li was naturally no difficult matter.
Poor Shuang Li surely had a rollercoaster day, drinking and feasting happily, but first the Tribulation Fire burned him, then the snake venom nearly killed him.
By the ti he instinctively stood, his eyes were glazed.
No longer like the proud, aloof frost wolf, more like the neighbor’s little white dog in Dongcang Town.
"Ahem."
Li Ye coughed lightly.
Shuang Li quickly ca to his senses.
Earlier events flooded his mind, making him shiver.
His tail wagged frantically, rushing to wrap his arms around Li Ye’s leg: "Master, save ! Chiling is the daughter of the red-scaled fire snake clan’s Elder Chitun."
"She must know what I’m up to!"
"You must save !"
Clearly, this Elder Chitun must wield great influence, otherwise, Shuang Li wouldn’t be tail-tucked, scared.
"What’s the panic."
"They’re only Nascent Souls at best."
Li Ye patted the giant wolf’s head, as the glow of Jianmu illuminated his feet.
Troops of Bamboo Wood Ants and Golden Horned Ants erged.
Then, began transforming the cave mansion, crude and simple like a random mountain cave—they laid floors, constructed arrays, fully renovating the cavern.
Li Ye wished to remain investigating the two Spirit Scrolls, but he knew Demon Race magic was unpredictable, might see through his disguise.
He couldn’t stay long.
He could only aid Shuang Li here, leaving it to Shuang Li to investigate and reclaim the Spirit Scrolls.
