He was injured by the Elder before, but after retreating and cultivating for a period of time, he immediately recovered from his injuries. I'm afraid there might be something amiss with the place where he resides. Senior Ao Lie, perhaps a search is warranted? There may be discoveries to be made,” Shen Luo recalled the hint of unease when Nine-Headed Insect left and said.

Little White Dragon was taken aback upon hearing this, as he hadn't thought that deeply about the situation, but Shen Luo's words were quite sensible.

“That makes sense.” He nodded, leaping towards the direction of the Palace where Nine-Headed Insect resided.

Shen Luo instructed the Ghost General to stay put, then transformed into a streak of red light, following closely behind.

The two soon arrived at the Palace where Nine-Headed Insect lived. The Demon creatures there had mostly fled, leaving behind only a few demons of low Cultivation level. Upon seeing the two, these little demons scattered in a frenzy.

Shen Luo and Little White Dragon did not pay any attention to the small fry, extending their Divine Sense to investigate everything inside and outside the Palace.

However, no matter how they searched, they couldn't find anything suspicious.

“It seems the reason Nine-Headed Insect became demonized isn't here. Perhaps he encountered the Demonic Qi somewhere else,” said Little White Dragon.

“Perhaps,” Shen Luo replied, a trace of disappointment flickering in his eyes as he sighed.

Having not found what they were looking for, the two didn't linger and soon left.

At this moment, the Blood Pool beneath the Palace had sunk nearly a hundred feet. The surroundings of the Blood Pool were enveloped by a white light curtain, with countless starlike runes flashing upon it, forming an extremely mysterious prohibition that even the Divine Sense of Shen Luo and Little White Dragon had failed to detect.

Lian Shan, Gui Cang, and two other Mahayanstage members of the Demon Race were standing around the Blood Pool, struggling to maintain the white light curtain, each of them sweating profusely and looking extremely strained.

“Those two have left. Can we stop this Star Enclosure Divine Prohibition Array now?” Lian Shan looked towards a silhouette inside the white light curtain and asked.

The silhouette was none other than Wansheng Princess, her face no longer showing a frail and grievous expression but replaced with one of cold arrogance.

“No, their Divine Sense is formidable, and there's no guarantee they won't use it to continue their scrutiny. You must maintain the Array without the slightest lapse,” Wansheng Princess commanded sternly, her voice ringing with the clangor of metal.

“Yes,” Lian Shan shuddered at her voice and quickly mustered his remaining strength to maintain the Array.

The other Demon Race members did the same.

Wansheng Princess looked towards the Blood Pool in front of her, where a Tall Figure was soaking–it was none other than Nine-Headed Insect.

The Array around the Blood Pool was operating rapidly, with streams of Blood Light infusing into Nine-Headed Insect's body. He remained motionless, showing no reaction whatsoever.

“To think I spared no effort in creating this Demonic Body for you, to draw out the Ghost Car Bloodline, and yet before it could be of any use, you were reduced to this state by someone. Useless!” Wansheng Princess said angrily.

“His Dantian has been destroyed by you, rendering him utterly useless. Why bother wasting more Demonic Qi to save him?” a foreign voice suddenly rang in Wansheng Princess's mind.

“The dagger I used to pierce his Dantian was the Demon Spirit Blade. Although the wound looks severe, the dense Demonic Qi within Nine-Headed Insect's Dantian means that the damage caused by the Demon Spirit Blade is actually minor. My Demon Spirit Technique can still heal him. Nine-Headed Insect is the last of the Ghost Car Clan's bloodline; unless absolutely necessary, we should not give up on him,” Wansheng Princess telepathically replied.

“I see. But you are bold, using the Demon Spirit Blade right in front of that Ao Lie. Aren't you afraid he would notice the Demonic Qi on it?” the foreign voice sounded enlightened.

“That Little White Dragon appears clever, but in fact, he's foolish. With just a little show of helplessness from me, he even forgot about his father's serious injury. As such, strength is no concern with him. The troublesome one is that Shen Luo. If not for Little White Dragon's presence, keeping him somewhat at bay, I doubt I could have left unscathed today,” Wansheng Princess scoffed coldly.

“I've heard of that Shen Luo too. He's foiled numerous schemes of that Demon Wind character. But you needn't worry; arrangements have already been made to deal with him. You just focus on what you need to do,” the foreign voice spoke slowly.

“Oh, you're referring to the Demonic Qi in his body. Since the Elder has arrangements in place, then I won't interfere with extraneous matters,” Wansheng Princess nodded, as a surge of black light suddenly rose from her body.

In the blink of an eye, the frail woman disappeared, replaced by a voluptuous female Demon General standing about three meters tall, her body clad in battle armor marked with Black Patterns.

Black light rings rotated and danced around her, her Demonic Qi both powerful and subtle; she wielded the Demonic Qi with a prowess far surpassing that of Nine-Headed Insect.

The monstrous creatures who were maintaining the Great Formation, including Lian Shan and Gui Cang, saw this scene and displayed awe born from the depths of their hearts on their faces, bowing their heads and not daring to look any further.

Wansheng Princess chanted arcane and incomprehensible spells, a flash of blood light at the center of her eyebrows, suddenly revealing a blood-red demonic pattern, shooting out a blood-colored light pillar as thick as a bowl, pouring into the wound on Nine-Headed Insect's lower abdomen.

The damage to Nine-Headed Insect's Dantian healed slowly, and a dim blood light seeped slowly from its body.

Shen Luo and Little White Dragon quickly returned to the Ginkgo Divine Tree, but Wu Man'er had not yet come out from it.

The two waited for another half an hour, and a flash of green light passed over the Ginkgo Divine Tree as Wu Man'er's figure shot out from within, her face full of joy.

“Thank you for your patience. I have already obtained the essence of the Gingko Divine Tree,” Wu Man'er said as she took out two jade bottles and handed them to Little White Dragon and Shen Luo, respectively.

“You took three bottles? This Gingko Divine Tree is a divine object of Yunmeng Marsh, wouldn't taking so much harm the tree?” Shen Luo did not take the jade bottle and asked.

“Big Brother Shen, rest assured, this Ginkgo Divine Tree is full of vitality, and I was very careful in extracting the essence; I did not cause it much harm,” Wu Man'er said.

Shen Luo, reassured, accepted the jade bottle.

“I have no need for this item, and since the matter is concluded, I'll take my leave. This Yunmeng Marsh holds not only the Nine-Headed Insect but likely many other dangers. You should not linger here for long,” Little White Dragon said, declining the jade bottle, bidding them both farewell, and turning into a streak of golden light, flying away.

“Since Senior Ao Lie said so, we should also leave this place quickly,” Wu Man'er suggested.

The figure of the Ghost General moved, turning into a beam of black light rushing into the Qiankun Bag.

Shen Luo nodded, about to set off, when suddenly a streak of blue light shot out from the Qiankun Bag and landed on the ground– it was Bashe.

Wu Man'er voiced her surprise, quickly recognizing the spirit snake as Bashe and feeling astonished, yet she said nothing.

“Daoist friend Shen, are you leaving Yunmeng Marsh?” Bashe ignored Wu Man'er, looking toward Shen Luo.

“Since we're not residents of Yunmeng Marsh, naturally we have to leave,” Shen Luo nodded.

“I remember you saying that your Art of Spirit Communication can summon spirit beasts through space. Given this, I wish to remain here to cultivate. If you need my help, just summon me with the art,” Bashe said.

“You wish to stay? Don't forget that you've now betrayed the Nine-Headed Insect. Though its cultivation is now ruined, the Wansheng Princess and other demons are still around. If they discover you, you won't escape lightly,” Shen Luo said, frowning.

“I will of course be cautious and hide. Do you remember that valley with the spiritual spring? I plan to cultivate quietly there; I won't be found,” Bashe explained.

“Indeed that location is safe. Since you've made your decision, I won't force you to stay. Take care with everything from now on,” Shen Luo nodded slightly, not insisting that Bashe leave with him.

“Thank you for that,” Bashe said gratefully, nodding at Shen Luo before starting to leave.

“Wait, since you plan to stay, help me keep an eye on Wansheng Princess and her group. Let me know of any unusual activity,” Shen Luo suddenly called to Bashe.

“Keep an eye on Wansheng Princess? I understand,” Bashe paused, then nodded in agreement. Its form moved and turned into a streak of blue light that burrowed into the ground, heading toward the valley's spiritual spring.

“I'm impressed, Brother Shen, that you've taken in this Bashe as a spirit pet. But why have you asked Bashe to watch over Wansheng Princess and the others? Could there be an issue with that Wansheng Princess?” Wu Man'er inquired.

“I can't quite put my finger on it; consider it a precaution,” Shen Luo replied.

They did not linger any longer and transformed into two streaks of escape light, shooting off into the distance.
