141: Just because you say no, does that mean there isn't any?

A black light landed in the valley, and from it emerged an old woman in green robes.

"Cough, cough!"

"Damn it, are those two crazy? Why do they specifically target me?"

The old woman coughed up a mouthful of black blood, cursed under her breath, her face extremely pale.

She should not have come in this time; she almost lost her life twice.

"Once I recover from my injuries, I will certainly make those two vile women suffer!"

She cursed under her breath, and her Divine Thought cautiously scanned the surroundings.

After confirming there was no danger nearby, she went to a secluded spot and threw down a Formation Plate.

In an instant, countless Formation runes flowed, and a grand Formation was instantly completed.

Immediately afterward, the grand Formation enveloped the area, making it seem like a world unto itself.

Then, the grand Formation disappeared into the Void Realm, and the figure of the old woman in green robes instantly vanished.

In the Void Realm.

Chu Yuan held Bai Zhi in his arms, spatial power circulating around him, hiding within the Void Realm.

Meanwhile, Purple Rhyme, held in Bai Zhi's claws, revealed a look of surprise.

"It's Ghost Granny!"

"That Formation Plate is one of her treasures. She obtained it from the Ghost God Sect, and it can instantly deploy an eighth-grade composite grand Formation."

"This Formation combines the effects of concealment and defense. It is said that even an eighth-grade Formation Master would need considerable time to break it."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan thought of the incident back at the Boneyard.

Having now learned a significant amount of seventh-grade Formation knowledge, he had a new understanding of the Formation used at the Boneyard back then.

That defensive power was top-tier even among seventh-grade Formations, possibly already approaching an eighth-grade Formation.

He just didn't know if Bai Zhi could enter this Formation before them.

Thinking of this, he looked at Bai Zhi, "Bai Zhi, do you have a way?"

Bai Zhi nodded slightly, "This Formation doesn't feel dangerous to me. Getting in shouldn't be too difficult. I'll try first."

"How about this? You two enter my small world and wait for a while. If I manage to trap her, I'll let you out."

"Alright!"

Chu Yuan nodded, and the two of them once again entered the small world inside Bai Zhi's body.

Bai Zhi narrowed her eyes, transformed into human form, disappeared into the Void Realm, and slowly approached the Formation.

But soon, she couldn't help but frown.

"This Formation actually sealed off even the Void Realm. An ordinary person really couldn't get in."

But she suddenly smiled, "But for me, that's not a problem."

As she spoke, a strange aura permeated her body. Then, her figure flickered slightly, and she instantly stepped into the Formation.

"Who is it!?"

The moment Bai Zhi stepped into the Formation, Ghost Granny's expression changed drastically, and she looked over cautiously.

Upon seeing Bai Zhi clearly, her expression shifted to shock. "You are that Demon God?! Your Excellency, why have you trespassed into my Formation?"

Bai Zhi's expression also suddenly changed, and she said coldly, "I thought that with such a powerful Formation protecting it, there would be something good inside."

"It turns out I wasted all that effort to come in only to find trash like you inside. How unlucky!"

"You..."

Hearing this, Ghost Granny was furious.

But remembering her current predicament, she forcibly suppressed her anger.

She was heavily injured now, her strength less than one-tenth of its Peak. The Demon God before her looked to be in Peak condition and was not someone to provoke.

She took a deep breath, trying her best to speak calmly, "Fellow Daoist Bai Zhi, you have seen what there is to see. There are no treasures here. Shouldn't you leave now?"

Hearing this, Bai Zhi looked at her with a half-smile and said playfully, "You look quite injured. What did you run into?"

Ghost Granny's expression shifted slightly, and she said stiffly, "That is none of your concern, Fellow Daoist. Please leave immediately!"

"Oh?"

Bai Zhi smiled playfully, "Leave? What are you thinking? Just because you say there are no treasures here, does that mean there aren't any?"

Ghost Granny's expression changed slightly, and a strong alarm rose in her heart. She already sensed malicious intent.

"What do I mean?"

Bai Zhi said with a half-smile, "Hand over all the treasures on your person. Don't force me to act."

Ghost Granny was enraged. She stared at Bai Zhi with a cold, sinister look and shouted, "Don't even think about it!"

But as she spoke, she had already taken a step back and was forming hand seals.

"Refusing the toast only to drink the penalty wine!"

Bai Zhi snorted coldly, and a pair of silver-white claws appeared on her hands.

Immediately afterward, her figure flashed, and she instantly appeared in front of Ghost Granny.

"Pfft!"

The sound of claws sinking into flesh rang out, followed by Ghost Granny's scream.

"Damn it, how can you be so strong?"

Black light flickered around Ghost Granny, and she instantly retreated a hundred meters, staring at Bai Zhi with dread.

She had been extremely vigilant just now, but she hadn't expected the opponent's attack to be so fast that she couldn't react in time.

She no longer cared about retrieving the Formation Plate. Black light surged around her, and she fled toward the distance.

"Run? Can you escape?"

Bai Zhi sneered. Her figure flashed, and she appeared right in front of Ghost Granny.

She raised her hand and swiped a claw, and a massive claw imprint violently slammed toward her.

Ghost Granny's expression changed drastically, and she hurriedly condensed a ghostly claw to meet it.

"Bang!"

The two attacks collided, and terrifying residual waves swept in all directions, shaking the heavens.

However, the instant they collided, the ghostly claw shattered immediately, while Bai Zhi's claw imprint continued forward unimpeded.

In an instant, the claw imprint was already upon Ghost Granny, savagely striking at her.

Facing the claw imprint, Ghost Granny was horrified and hurriedly dodged to the side.

Yet, she was still too slow, was struck by the claw imprint, and violently smashed onto the ground.

"Pfft!"

Ghost Granny spat out a mouthful of black blood. Looking at Bai Zhi, who had approached, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.

She couldn't win in a fight, nor could she escape. This time, she was truly finished.

"Fellow Daoist, hold your hand!"

Seeing Bai Zhi raise her hand again, Ghost Granny quickly shouted, "I am willing to offer all the treasures on my person! Please spare my life, Fellow Daoist!"

Bai Zhi sneered and held out her hand, saying, "Wouldn't it have been better if you had done this earlier? You had to suffer this physical pain before you knew to regret it."

Ghost Granny's mouth twitched slightly, but she could only offer a forced smile and say, "It was my foolishness, I have wasted Fellow Daoist's time."

As she spoke, she placed her palm over her sumeru ring, seemingly about to take it off.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi smiled, "You are sensible. I only want treasures; I won't kill anyone!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Ghost Granny replied with a smile, but a sinister chill suddenly flashed in her eyes. "Go to hell!"

Before her voice faded, she raised her hand and scattered a handful of white powder.

Bai Zhi hurriedly retreated but still inhaled a good amount of the powder, her expression instantly changing in shock.

"Damn it!"

"What did you do?"

Her face was furious. She stared coldly at Ghost Granny and demanded sharply.

"Hahaha!"

Ghost Granny raised her hand, swallowed a Medicinal Pill, stood up, and sneered at Bai Zhi:

"A dignified Demon God, yet so lacking in vigilance and so trusting of others. I truly wonder how you achieved your cultivation?"

Bai Zhi's expression was ugly, and she angrily demanded, "What exactly was that powder?"

Ghost Granny chuckled, subtly retreating a few steps, and said, "It's nothing much, just the eighth-grade Spirit Dispersion Powder. Even if you are a Demon God, all your power will be instantly scattered."

"This effect lasts for seven days. In this perilous Jade Void Secret Realm, that's enough time for you to die many times over."

"You wanted to rob me? You are not worthy!"

Ghost Granny snorted coldly and was about to step forward to take Bai Zhi's sumeru ring.
