As the Qiankun Xuanjin Array was broken, the figure of the Nine-Headed Insect emerged.

At this moment, he was no longer in the form of the blood-colored gigantic bird from before. His lower body remained that of the bird, but his head had transformed into nine heads, which rested upon nine snake-like necks, all wrapped in a layer of flame-like red light. He looked as terrifying as a Demonic God from ancient times.

Gazing at the escape lights that were still faintly visible at the end of the sky, all nine of his heads let out furious roars simultaneously. Instantly, a fresh red fog burst forth from his body, which turned into a blood cloud that blocked out the sun, lifting his body as he chased furiously after them, with the Mirage Demon as his target, who was the slowest in speed.

Shen Luo paid no attention to the life and death of Bashe and the others; in moments of life and death, it was up to their own fate. He exerted all his strength to use the Thousand-mile Wing Flapping Technique and flew out thousands of miles before he stopped and switched to Yimu Xuandun to head toward the cave mansion.

Nothing occurred along the way, and after half an hour, he returned to the cave mansion silently.

Yuanyuan and Little White Dragon were still curing their injuries inside the secret chamber, from which the whistling of mana could be faintly heard.

Shen Luo did not enter to disturb them but took out the Qiankun Bag and tapped it slightly.

A black light flashed at the mouth of the bag, and Wu Man'er's figure flew out from it, landing on the ground.

“I knew Big Brother Shen would definitely bring us back safely,” Wu Man'er said joyfully, seeing the surroundings.

“It was merely a fluke. Although we escaped back here, the Nine-Headed Insect's injuries have fully recovered. There's no guarantee it won't use some magical secret technique to find this place. Here is a Ginkgo Spirit Fruit; Girl Man'er, please exercise your magic quickly to cure Senior Ao Lie's injuries,” said Shen Luo as he took out the jade box and handed over a Ginkgo Spirit Fruit.

At this point, only Little White Dragon had the strength to match the Nine-Headed Insect. Even if they left Yunmeng Marsh immediately, he wouldn't be able to rest easy.

“There's no need; when you sent me and the Ghost General into the upper layer of the great formation earlier, I already picked a Ginkgo Spirit Fruit then,” Wu Man'er took out a translucent Jade Bottle, shaking it proudly with a golden spirit fruit inside.

“So it was you who took the missing Ginkgo Spirit Fruit. However, since you have only one, keep it and use the one I have to save Senior Ao Lie,” Shen Luo said with a smile after a brief startle.

Earlier, when he was breaking through the Yellow Cloud Prohibition with magic, he had stealthily mixed the Qiankun Bag within the spiritual light of the Prohibition Breaking Array, sending it into the upper layer of space. Man'er had reached there before anyone else, and as soon as she entered, she used the Leaf Concealment Technique with the Ghost General to hide inside the Ginkgo Divine Tree. Her Leaf Concealment Technique was much more powerful than Shen Luo's, and with the Mirage Demon and Bashe busy fighting over the Ginkgo Spirit Fruits later on, neither noticed the existence of Wu Man'er and the Ghost General.

“This is a hard-earned victory by you, Big Brother Shen. How could I accept it?” Wu Man'er immediately shook her head, refusing to take it.

“I have two, and keeping one is more than enough. Time is of the essence now, so let's not waste it with you insisting and me refusing,” Shen Luo said as he directly threw the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit over.

Wu Man'er quickly caught the spirit fruit, hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse, and turned to enter the secret chamber.

Shen Luo did not follow. He sat down cross-legged on the spot, took out a Restoration Pill, and began refining it, restoring the mana that had been depleted in the great battle.

Time flew by quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a day had passed.

Shen Luo slowly opened his eyes, his pupils flashing with brilliance, his expended mana fully recovered.

“Congratulations to Master for greatly increasing in strength. Earlier in that Great Formation, you even managed to repel both the Nine-Headed Insect and the Mirage Demon in one blow. By now, Master must be comparable to a True Immortal Existence,” the black light flashed on the Qiankun Bag, and the Ghost General's figure also flew out from it, saying with a face full of smiles.

Ever since absorbing that Monk Ghost, the Ghost General's spiritual wisdom had increased significantly, making him almost no different from any ordinary creature.

“True Immortal cultivators have all experienced the Sky Thunder Body Refining, undergoing fundamental transformations in both mind and body that are far beyond the reach of Mahayana existences. I had to use all my skills just to barely withstand them, but in terms of real strength, I still fall too short. As for your Soul-Devouring Demonic Sound, it's really amazing that you managed to trap that Mirage Demon,” said Shen Luo, glancing at the Ghost General.

“It mainly worked because that Mirage Demon wasn't on guard, so I just got lucky. But it's true, True Immortals are incredibly powerful; even after being hit by my Soul-Devouring Demonic Sound, they could still forcibly break free,” the Ghost General replied, still a trace of lingering shock in his eyes.

“Being effective against True Immortal existences is already valuable, and it's normal not to be able to completely trap them. If that Nine-Headed Insect comes attacking later, just do as you did before, hide in the dark and try to sneak attack with the Soul-Devouring Demonic Sound,” instructed Shen Luo.

“What? Master thinks that Nine-Headed Insect will pursue us here? Didn't they fail to find us earlier?” the Ghost General asked in surprise.

“Consider it my unfounded worries, but when facing a great demon like the Nine-Headed Insect, one can't be too careful,” spoke Shen Luo slowly.

“That's true.” The Ghost General, who was also fearful of the Nine-Headed Insect, nodded in deep agreement.

Shen Luo waved his hand, instructing the Ghost General to guard the nearby prohibitions of the cave, while he himself turned and walked to the entrance of a secret chamber deep within the cave.

The healing within continued, and from time to time, strong spiritual power fluctuations seeped out, mixed with the unique breath of the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit.

He carefully sensed the various fluctuations from inside and quickly identified the breath that belonged to Little White Dragon, which had stabilized a lot since before.

“It seems that Man'er wasn't mistaken, the Ginkgo Spirit Fruit really is helping with Little White Dragon's injuries,” expressed Shen Luo with delight. Given the situation, it wouldn't take long for Little White Dragon to fully recover.

He didn't stay there any longer and quietly turned to leave, making his way back to his own secret chamber.

However, just as he was about to continue his cultivation, his expression suddenly changed as he sensed something had bumped into the prohibition around the cave.

Although he had given the formation flags of the Liangyi Micro-dust Array to the Ghost General, as the person who arranged the formation, he could still detect any changes in the cave's prohibitions.

He immediately got up and left the secret chamber, transforming into a blue light and escaping the cave, quickly arriving at the site of the disturbance.

The Ghost General was already there, waving his hand and sending out a black qi that wrapped around something struggling within it, spouting blue thunder and lightning to prevent the black qi from getting close.

“Bashe! It's you!” exclaimed Shen Luo in surprise.

The object in the black qi was a blue and red spiritual snake–none other than Bashe, who had just parted ways with them. But Bashe's originally formidable and immense body had shrunken down to who knows how many times smaller, turning into a small snake only as thick as an arm and about a meter long, with its strength diminished to that of the Soul Condensation Stage.

“Brother Shen, we meet again. May I ask you to have your Ghost Pet let me go first? I bear no ill will,” Bashe said urgently.

Shen Luo's gaze flickered a few times, and he gestured to the Ghost General.

The Ghost General snorted softly, stopped his action, and moved behind Shen Luo, his eyes still fixed intently on Bashe.

Only then did Bashe breathe a sigh of relief. Her body was already eroded with black spots by the black qi, and blood seeped out slowly, making her look extremely wretched.
