I looked at Ling, who said, "Zhu Zining, I hope you haven't let the nine-tailed fox devour the drought demon's corpse yet, otherwise, our game won't be much fun."

Seeing that Zhu Zining didn't respond, Ling continued, "You got the drought demon's corpse from the coffin door? And you let Jiang Junci take away one of the drought demon's hands."

"Have you ever wondered how the drought demon got into your hands?"

Ling quietly gestured to me, meaning: be careful and vigilant.

She said to herself, "Back then, Li Po used a condition as an exchange to let Cang Tianji take away the drought demon's corpse."

"A few days ago, you had Qian Mian Dao impersonate Jiang Junci to trick Cang Tianji into handing over the drought demon and bring it to Miaojiang."

"Your real purpose in wanting the drought demon isn't to occupy the zombie, but to have the nine-tails devour it."

"The drought demon and the nine-tails are very compatible. Only by feeding the drought demon to the nine-tails can she restore her magic power in the shortest amount of time and break through the encirclement with you."

"However, I'll tell you a secret: Cang Tianji has a habit. No matter who comes to her, she always calculates the other person's purpose first."

"Unfortunately, Qian Mian Dao couldn't block Cang Tianji's divination."

"So, she tampered with the drought demon!"

"Zhu Zining, you're stalling for time, but so am I!"

As soon as Ling finished speaking, the demon tear of Cang Tianji was already flashing with dazzling blood light. In the next moment, a loud noise came from under Yanyu Tower, and a blood-stained water column spurted into the air from the ground.

At the same time, a loud explosion came from the distant hillside, and several guards were blown into the air by the huge force that exploded from below. A black lacquered coffin also stood up straight from the ground—it was this coffin that blew away Mi Tianyue's men.

Mi Tianyue, who was nearby, was the first to react. He swung his broad axe and chopped down on the coffin. The coffin lid, several inches thick, shattered in response, and a woman dressed in traditional Miao clothing struck Mi Tianyue with both palms simultaneously.

Before Mi Tianyue could make his second move, and before the woman's palms could even touch him, Mi Tianyue fell to the ground.

Mi Tianyue was poisoned!

Lin Zhao, who arrived second, didn't have time to pull Mi Tianyue away. In a moment of desperation, she kicked the opponent several meters away. She then reached out and grabbed the Miao woman.

As Lin Zhao's Thirteen Absolute Hands covered the coffin, another coffin burst out of the ground from behind Lin Zhao.

This time, the coffin lid flew out on its own without being touched, heading straight for Lin Zhao's back.

Lin Zhao was instantly caught in a pincer attack.

Almost without hesitation, Lin Zhao burst into action, her claws flashing like lightning as she grabbed at her opponent.

Lin Zhao's judgment was correct. If she could knock her opponent away in time, she could escape before the coffin lid hit her.

However, what Lin Zhao didn't expect was that before the other person could make a move, the Miao witch who had rushed over moved against Lin Zhao.

The Gu poison that flew in from all directions instantly sealed off all the space around Lin Zhao. Helpless, Lin Zhao could only stop and wave her claws to protect her entire body.

As the Thirteen Absolute Hands' force collided with the Gu insects in the air, mottled juices flew everywhere, and Lin Zhao's body was splashed with bursts of white smoke—the poisonous blood that exploded from the Gu insects actually corroded Lin Zhao's clothes directly. Fortunately, Lin Zhao protected her face in time, preventing it from being disfigured.

However, the coffin lid flying towards Lin Zhao arrived in front of her in an instant.

Lin Zhao instinctively reached out to grab the coffin lid, her ten fingers piercing through the coffin in an instant.

I rushed over and clearly saw Lin Zhao's hands exerting force, but in the next second, her fingers stopped, and she was frozen in place as if holding up the coffin lid.

Hei Yexiao, who rushed over with me and Ye Yang, raised his hand and slapped the face of the witch who was leading the attack on Lin Zhao: "Bastard, who told you to attack?"

The witch knelt on the ground: "That... that's the Holy Maiden!"

Hei Yexiao glanced at the Miao woman before suppressing his anger and said, "Get up! You're innocent!"

The Miao Holy Maiden and Hei Yexiao had similar status in Miaojiang, and Hei Yexiao couldn't pursue the witch's responsibility.

When my gaze fell on the other coffin, Jiang Junci, who had lost consciousness, also fell out of the coffin.

The Miao woman opened her mouth and spoke in Zhu Zining's voice: "Wonderful, truly wonderful!"

"Bending ghosts and gods, divine schemes and ghost calculations, demon-eyed fate master, truly amazing."

"I took the initiative at every turn, but I was almost planted in your hands."

"You can calculate everything, but I hold secrets that you don't know. Unless you can find someone who can calculate a hundred lifetimes into the past and know a hundred lifetimes into the future, otherwise I will always be one step ahead of you."

Zhu Zining said, "Cang Tianji's divination skills are still lacking. She can't calculate everything."

"Just like Bu Ting, the Earth Master, built an escape passage back then, which was not within the scope of Cang Tianji's calculations."

"I buried Jiang Junci and A Yao Duo here so that I can abandon my body and escape by transferring my soul in case of necessity."

"Originally, I wanted to retreat immediately, but! The nine-tails has taken a fancy to that little sister's body, so I can only wait for her for a while."

"Nine-tails, you have to hurry up. If you're too slow, Li Po and the others will go crazy."
