Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 107 Method

Inside Moxi City.

It was late at night, a time when people should be resting and turning off the fire, but the Holy Light Temple branch was brightly lit, and people were hurrying around.

"What?!" Patriarch Taishi Su's face was dark with rage, his beard trembling with anger. His large hands, which were behind his back, clenched into fists, and he kicked the people kneeling on the ground. "A bunch of useless trash! You still haven't found the person!"

The guard commander groaned, enduring the pain, and said, "Master, please calm down. I was ordered to seal off and check all entrances and exits of the deserted village immediately, especially the one leading to the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. I also sent people to search the village one by one, but we couldn't find a single trace of them, and there were no witnesses at all."

"Useless is useless! She can't just vanish on the spot, can she?!" Tai Shi Su gritted his teeth and sat down, waving his sleeves. Two of his four children had died tragically at the hands of that person. They were right under his nose, yet he couldn't find the murderer. How could he remain calm?

Bai Ri has already sent two elders to the deserted village to assist in the search, hoping to find them as soon as possible. This is not only for revenge for his children, but also for his reputation and the dignity of the Holy Light Temple!

Regardless of the person's intentions, the moment they made their move, it was a provocation against the Temple of Holy Light!

This matter must not be reported back to the main family of Zhongtan Holy City, otherwise he will find it difficult to maintain his foothold in Moxi City, and he must not be stripped of his jurisdiction because of this.

Absolutely not, so that person must die.

Tai Shi Su slowly closed his eyes, a sinister look covering his forehead. There were only two places to go after leaving the deserted village: Wan Yao Valley and Mo Xi City. The former was troublesome, and the latter... as long as the other party stepped into Mo Xi City, he would not be able to escape his grasp. This would be the place where that person would die.

He suddenly opened his hawk-like eyes, frowned and sneered: "Offer her portrait the highest possible reward, plus a Five Elements Harmony Pill, and issue a city-wide warrant for her arrest. Guard the city entrances strictly and do not let any suspicious person escape! At the same time, send people to search for the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons."

"Yes, master."

Just as the commander received his orders and left, a series of hurried footsteps came from the entrance of the main hall.

"Father!" A woman's voice, as melodious as a silver bell, followed by a figure in white entering the hall.

The girl wasn't exactly beautiful, but she had very fair skin, almond-shaped eyes, and peach-colored lips, giving her a delicate and refined appearance.

Upon entering the hall, he bowed to the person seated high above.

"Xiaoxue? Why are you back from the academy at this hour?" Taishi Su's eyes swept over the girl with a serious expression.

"Father, the energy storm that occurs at Burning Phoenix Manor every five years is in half a month, so I came back early to prepare." The girl said respectfully, then her brows furrowed. "When I returned, I heard that Second Sister and Yue'er had been murdered. What exactly happened?!"

Tai Shi Su's eyes narrowed sharply, and he slammed his fist heavily on the coffee table: "This matter..."

......

-

Chi Rong coiled up, its crystal eyes scanning the surrounding bamboo forest. As soon as it sensed the slightest movement on a bamboo stalk, it would flick its tail.

The green snake on top of it was so frightened that it didn't dare to move an inch.

The cold moon's reflection on the lake made the already chilly water even colder.

Guan Xun raised his hand and brushed the wet strands of hair from his forehead onto his head. The water immediately slid down between his fingers, over his arm, and dripped onto the water surface on her chest, creating ripples.

Her curled eyelashes trembled slightly as she looked down at her small face, her brows furrowing in a somewhat helpless manner.

The people of the Holy Light Temple are searching for her whereabouts everywhere, and they also have a portrait. To travel in the Central Plains, one must hide one's identity. In the current situation, it is certainly not possible to rely solely on a black robe or a veil and mask to conceal one's appearance, as such attire would attract more attention.

If only there were something that could directly change one's appearance...

"Why didn't I ever try to find some cultivation scrolls or medicines that could change my appearance before?" Guan Xun murmured regretfully. He really hadn't thought about that before; he would just wear a veil when he went out.

How convenient it would be to be able to change one's appearance at will! The more she thought about it, the more regrettable it seemed. If she ever came across anything that could change her appearance, no matter what it was, it would have to be hers!

Guan Xun rested her elbows on the lakeside and glanced at Chi Rong. She knew this guy inside and out, so there was definitely nothing she could do.

Will there be any small fish?

To be honest, her previous understanding of Xiaoyu was limited to its ability to carry some items for her.

However, since entering the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, she was surprised to find that it knew quite a lot, such as the spirit beasts she had never heard of before, which it actually recognized.

Thinking this through, she immediately turned around, splashing loudly across the lake. But even this loud noise couldn't make the little fish turn around; it remained facing away from the lake.

Guan Xun placed his hands horizontally on the small stones by the lake, leaned forward slightly, and rested his chin on the back of his hands. His gaze was fixed on the little fish's slightly swaying tail, and the corners of his eyes curved into a smile: "Little fish, is there a way to change your appearance?"

"Have."

The immediate response brought a smile to Guan Xun's face. He hadn't had high hopes to begin with, but he hadn't expected it to actually happen.

Seeing that Xiaoyu remained motionless and showed no intention of making a move, she narrowed her eyes, brought her fingertip to her lips and gently bit it, causing a bright red bead of blood to instantly appear. She then enveloped it with her spiritual power.

As soon as the blood appeared, Chi Rong's body froze abruptly. He turned his head, his tongue flicking, and drool practically dripped from his mouth: "Master, is this for me?"

Amidst the pervasive stench of blood, all the surrounding green snakes straightened up and stretched towards the lake, their eyes filled with drool. If they weren't wary of Chi Rong, they would have already crawled towards the lake's edge.

A few of the bolder ones jumped to the ground the moment Chi Rong turned around, and were wriggling closer.

"Keep an eye on your snake," Guan Xun said calmly, without even glancing at it.

Chi Rong then turned his head, and a drop of pitch-black liquid slid down from the sharp fangs in his mouth. The moment it hit the ground, it spread rapidly in all directions, scorching the soil and emitting plumes of gray smoke. Even the bamboo fell to the ground with a crash in an instant.

The green snake was even more terrifying; its body was corroded away in less than half a breath, leaving not even a bone spur.

The remaining green snakes clinging to the bamboo were so frightened that they trembled and instantly abandoned any thought of blood.

On the other side of the lake, Guan Xun frowned in suspicion.

The little fish seemed to like this blood, so why isn't it reacting?

She turned her gaze from what was in front of her to the blood bead in her palm, but couldn't figure out what was wrong. After a moment of contemplation, her eyes flickered slightly as she looked down at her snow-white skin, which was soaking in the water.

He chuckled, stood up, and put on his clothes.

"What method?" Guan Xun asked directly, fastening his belt.

Noticing the movement behind him, the little fish turned around. It didn't say anything, but just flicked its tail slightly.

Guan Xun felt a flash of white light on his cheek for a moment, and then his mouth felt heavy. He touched it in confusion, only to find a prickly stubble of beard...

She immediately turned to look at the lake, where the face of a burly man with thick eyebrows, slanted eyes, a hooked nose, and thick lips was reflected.

"Hiss..." She gasped sharply, abruptly raising her head, not daring to look directly at the lake. Her voice seemed to come from the depths of hell, "Do you think this face matches my figure?"

"What's wrong?" Little Fish didn't even lift his eyelids.

Guan Xun took two steps forward and grabbed it: "Beauty, a beauty with a face like a peach blossom, do you understand?"

The little fish paused for a moment, then remained silent for a few breaths before swishing its tail again.

This time, Guan Xun breathed a long sigh of relief; at least it wasn't a man's appearance anymore.

The woman on the water had an average appearance; if one had to describe her, one could only say she had a nose and eyes, but she was by no means a beauty.

So this is what beauty looks like in Xiaoyu's eyes?

She touched her face, feeling that her skin was still a bit rough, and glanced at Xiaoyu with some disdain.

However, although this appearance was not to her liking, it was extremely low-key and would definitely not attract attention on the street.

That’s it, that’s it.

"Master, someone is coming this way," Chi Rong suddenly shouted.

Guan Xun turned his head and saw a firelight flickering in the bamboo forest, and a tall, dark figure standing in the distance.

"girl?"

"girl!"

It was Tie He's voice; he seemed like a very honest person. Knowing she was taking a bath, I didn't dare approach her.

After letting Xiaoyu change her appearance back, Guan Xun lifted his foot and walked over there.
