49: Taoist nun Xuan Ye followed all the way.

When immortals fight, Mortals suffer.

The Blood Shadow First Daughter dealt with the sky full of insect powder with ease, but the others weren't so lucky.

The insect egg powder had no effect on the Blood Shadow First Daughter, but it caused trouble for the Ti Deng Troop.

The Ti Deng Troop’s strength was average, and when they were affected by the insect egg powder flying everywhere, a large number of maggots immediately grew on their bodies, gnawing at their flesh and blood.

The shadows were also in a hurry, trying to pull out the maggots from their bodies, but some maggots had already penetrated deep into the flesh, which was truly terrifying.

Li Yan naturally turned and ran without a word. They were fighting their battle, what did it have to do with him?

However, as Li Yan retreated, he curiously reached out and touched some of the insect egg powder in the air.

If there were side effects, perhaps it could activate some unknown attribute?

When he touched the insect egg powder, the System's voice rang out in Li Yan's mind.

Host has actively touched the insect egg powder. This insect egg has extreme side effects; inhaling it will lead to maggots growing in the flesh.

Side effect effect normalized. Host inhales insect egg powder, converting it into Qi and blood.

Those insect egg powders, which were like arsenic to others, were directly converted into faint Qi and blood values after Li Yan inhaled them into his body.

Seeing this, Li Yan also slowed his escape.

Looking at the white insect egg powder drifting with the wind, Li Yan sighed, "This Quiet Void Taoist's Move is indeed vicious. How can an ordinary Cultivator withstand insect egg powder scattered everywhere?"

"Unless one ignites all the Qi and blood in their body and uses the Fire Awakening Art, only then can the insect egg powder be dispelled."

"However, this insect egg powder is pervasive. If an ordinary Cultivator inhales some, if they don't want to die, they can only use their cultivation to resist and suppress the hatching of the insect eggs."

Just then, Li Yan saw many Shadow Demon maidservants running past him.

Seeing this, his lips curved into a smile.

These maidservants all ran to a safe place, sat down, and circulated their Qi to expel the insect egg powder from their bodies.

Looking at their fair, clean skin, stained with insect egg powder, with some wounds bloody and blurred, it made one's scalp tingle.

But for Li Yan, this was an opportunity.

He walked forward and asked a lone maidservant with a smile.

"Senior Sister, let me help you get rid of the insects?"

The Shadow Demon maidservant had no guard when she saw that the person was Li Yan.

Because Li Yan was a Lamplighter, and they were all of the Shadow Demon race, they were all evil spirits, so she let down her guard.

"Thank you! Then I'll trouble you, little brother."

The Shadow Demon maidservant began to sit cross-legged, completely relaxed her guard, and used her body's Qi and blood to resist the insect's bite.

However, Li Yan placed his hand on the maidservant's shadow.

The maidservant's delicate body trembled, "Little brother, what are you doing?"

A blush appeared on the Shadow Demon maidservant's face, but she never expected Li Yan to wipe his hand on the ground!

He directly wiped away the maidservant's consciousness, transforming her into a Shadow Puppet.

Li Yan leaned close to the maidservant's ear, lowering his voice, "Retain your original memories, and be loyal to me! Forget everything that just happened."

"U-understood, Master."

By the time the Shadow Demon maidservant's eyes regained clarity, it was as if nothing had happened.

He secretly branded these Shadow Demons, turning them into his Shadow Puppets, and placing them by the Blood Shadow First Daughter's side.

This way, after returning, Li Yan could monitor the Blood Shadow First Daughter's every Move in real-time.

If the Blood Shadow First Daughter were to be unfavorable to him, he could also escape in advance.

Li Yan used the Shadow Demon maidservants' trust in him to find several lone maidservants in the dense forest and implanted his Shadow Puppet Art into their shadows.

As a result, six of the maidservants by the Blood Shadow First Daughter's side were his informants.

After doing all this, Li Yan stepped on his Flying Sword and swiftly left the battlefield, preparing to find a safe place to watch the battle.

He took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters, watching the Blood Shadow First Daughter and Quiet Void Taoist fight back and forth.

Li Yan muttered, "Fight, fight, it's best if you both get seriously injured, and I'll pick up the spoils."

However, for now, it seemed the Blood Shadow First Daughter's strength was superior, suppressing Quiet Void Taoist so he couldn't even lift his head.

Just as he was gloatingly watching the two sides fight, a charming voice appeared behind him.

"Li Yan Senior Martial Nephew, a traitor who bullies his master and destroys his ancestors."

"Oh, I didn't expect you to be so fair-skinned, truly deserving of death."

From the shadows, a voluptuous and mature-looking female Cultivator emerged.

She was wearing the Jingxu Sect's Taoist robe, combined with Old Ghost Xuanwang's memories in Li Yan's mind.

This person was Xuan Sha's mistress, Mystic Night Taoist Nun!

He didn't expect Old Ghost Xuanwang's Senior Sister, Mystic Night Taoist Nun, to be ambushed here. She had probably been secretly following him all along.

"So it's Senior Martial Uncle Xuan Ye. Senior Martial Uncle's concealment art is truly remarkable; I didn't even notice you."

Mystic Night Taoist Nun covered her mouth and let out bursts of charming laughter, "I was just attracted by the sounds of fighting and saw you, this sneaky little fellow, so I naturally followed."

Listening to Mystic Night Taoist Nun's tone, she probably hadn't noticed Li Yan's previous small actions.

That's good...

After secretly sighing in relief, Li Yan raised an eyebrow, secretly began to use the Blood Shadow Art, and asked.

"Senior Martial Uncle seeking me out alone surely isn't just for a simple greeting, is it?"

This Mystic Night Taoist Nun in front of him, after becoming Dao Companion with Old Ghost Xuanwang back then, secretly went to Dual Cultivation with Xuan Sha.

Li Yan naturally had little good impression of such a wanton Daogu.

When Old Ghost Xuanwang was young, he was foolishly deceived by this woman, which was truly pathetic.

However, this voluptuous and promiscuous Mystic Night Taoist Nun, covering her face with a fan, let out bursts of wanton, charming laughter.

"Good Senior Martial Nephew, as long as you tell me what you found deep in Broken Sword Valley."

"I won't make things difficult for you. Seeing how handsome you are, would you consider coming to my Immortal Cave for a visit?"

Li Yan grinned and said, "Alright! Please lead the way, Senior Martial Uncle. I haven't visited your Immortal Cave yet."

Mystic Night Taoist Nun was momentarily stunned. She didn't expect Li Yan to be so cooperative?

He actually didn't resist and just obediently listened to her words?

However, Mystic Night Taoist Nun still held a Magic Treasure in her hand, ready to strike at any time to capture Li Yan.

"Good nephew, tell me now what you found deep in Broken Sword Valley."

"Also, give me all the Magic Treasures you found in Broken Sword Valley."

"If you tell me, Senior Martial Uncle will let you experience a feeling of ecstasy."

"If you don't tell me, I will also make you experience the pain of ecstasy!"

Mystic Night Taoist Nun's charming voice carried both temptation and threat.

But the next moment, Li Yan turned and ran, heading towards the deep mountains.

Seeing Li Yan run away, Mystic Night Taoist Nun pursed her lips and smiled, "Foolishly cute. How could you possibly escape my grasp?"

"Hand over the treasure you found in Broken Sword Valley obediently, and don't struggle!"

But Mystic Night Taoist Nun was too confident and underestimated Li Yan, this young man.

She thought she was the hunter, unaware that Li Yan was holding the Blood Shadow Art in his hand, summoning three shadows.

Li Yan muttered to himself, "Leading her into the valley will make it easier to act, to avoid being seen by others."

And Mystic Night Taoist Nun chased him all the way, 'forcing' Li Yan into a dead end in a valley.

She laughed with a morbid charm, "The treasure you found in Broken Sword Valley is mine!"

When Li Yan, who was 'forced' into a corner, turned around, he held a hand seal.

With a sneer on his lips, he asked playfully.

"Oh? Is that so!"
