1452 Inner Demon

Was, was it really like that? Asi, who had gotten disheartened, couldn't help but twitch his ears and look up at them when he suddenly heard the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal saying this.

However, the Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal and Mo Lian were not looking at him but at the bronze cuffs on his and Qiao Mu's hands instead.

From the looks of it, these bronze cuffs, linked together with a not-too-long bronze chain, looked very ordinary.

Yet this pair of seemingly extremely ordinary bronze cuffs was a spiritual weapon.

Mo Lian knitted his brows as he pondered a solution.

"Does the little fellow have some kind of inner demon that she has yet to eliminate?" The Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal gazed at Crown Prince Mo in contemplation. "If that is the case, it won't be good. If the inner demon is allowed to mature and matures to a certain point, then it will greatly affect her future cultivation speed or perhaps even… the tempering of her mind."

Mo Lian turned silent for a moment before replying coldly, "There isn't."

"Forget it if you don't want to tell me." The Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal turned to look at Qiao Mu. "Bring her back first."

However, when Mo Lian carried Qiao Mu up and saw the stalker following beside him, he hated that he couldn't burn this person to ashes with his sacred fire!

The group returned to the Eastern Palace reticently.

Meanwhile, the great commotion from just earlier had long alerted everyone in the palace.

After setting Qiao Mu down on the brocade divan, Mo Lian quickly covered her wrist with the blanket to prevent her from fixating on it.

On the other hand, Asi was hurting all over as the little fellow had poisoned him with a substance that amplified his pain receptors indefinitely. Although he had the poison-repelling fruit inside his body that could detoxify all poisons, neurotoxins like these were not ordinary. He still needed time to neutralize this poison.

This process was extremely agonizing and excruciating, but Asi did not groan even once. Cold sweat merely kept pouring from his forehead.

The python bull, who had shrunk down in size, was cognizant that its master was not doing well, so it paced back and forth gloomily at Asi's feet.

Asi endured the pain coursing through his body, and just as he was about to sit down at the edge of the brocade divan, Mo Lian could stand it no more and kicked him directly to the floor.

"Roar," the python bull seethed.

However, as the bronze chain wasn't long to begin with, this sudden movement would yank at Qiao Mu's petite hand too.

Seeing that the chain was going to tug at her wrist again, Mo Lian hastily dragged Asi back a bit. Asi felt as if he were being treated like a mop, getting dragged back and forth by that d*mned man!

"Qiaoqiao, don't be scared. If worse comes to worst, I'll reforge this spiritual weapon. I'll inject a wisp of your spirit into it so that it will become your spiritual weapon. That way, you will certainly be able to undo it." After some contemplation, Mo Lian felt that this was the fastest and easiest way to undo the cuffs.

Yet Qiao Mu merely stared at the beams supporting the roof with her eyes wide open. He did not know what she was thinking.

Nevertheless, her quiet and silent state made everyone feel suffocated.

It was like… like she had suddenly lost her vitality. It made everyone terribly despondent.

"Her inner demon must be eliminated. She cannot continue on like this." The Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal couldn't resist asking, "Do you know what her inner demon is?"

"He's escaped to the Middle Six Prefectures." Mo Lian's gaze flickered. "But I feel that he's not the only one."

"What do you mean?" The Venerable Peach Blossom Immortal was confounded.

"You're correct, her inner demon must be killed." No matter who it was, anyone who became Qiaoqiao's inner demon would meet their doom! "No matter how many people it is, they're all dead."

Qin Xin abruptly woke up from a nightmare. He opened his demonic eyes and stared outside the window at the deep night in a daze.

The, the nightmare just now was so terrifying!
