The barrier that Feng Lan had set up must have an alarm. Once it was triggered, she would immediately feel it.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Feng Ling said to the paper effigy standing on the dressing table, “Go in and teleport me what you see.”

The paper effigy raised its small feet and was about to jump into the barrier.

Feng Ling gave it a trace of hidden energy at the same time. When the small paper effigy jumped in, it didn’t touch the barrier.

The corners of Feng Ling’s lips curled up. “Do you think your barrier can stop me?”

After the little paper effigy entered the dark room, everything it saw was teleported into Feng Ling’s mind.

The dark room was huge and dark everywhere, but there was a huge pool inside. Inside the pool, there was something that looked like blood which had turned black. The blood was bubbling, and the bubbles floated in the air, turning into black skulls. Then, the skulls broke and turned into black smoke.

All the black aura condensed into a black thread that entered the cauldron-like container in the middle.

At this point, Feng Ling’s expression froze. She said to the small paper effigy, “Search this dark room.”

The little paper effigy quickly walked towards those corners.

She couldn’t see anything in the corner. When the paper effigy walked in, she realized that it was a pile of eerie white bones.

These bones were very fresh, proving that the person hadn’t died for long.

Feng Ling clenched her fists and muttered in a low voice, “So you have lost your humanity to this extent.”

At that moment, the other door of the dark room opened.

A figure walked in.

After entering, the figure stood in the open space and took out a Heaven-and-Earth pouch.

He opened the Heaven-and-Earth pouch and lowered it as if he was about to pour something out. However, in the next moment, he seemed to have sensed something and quickly put away the bag. He turned around and walked towards the door of the dark room.

Feng Ling gestured to the little paper effigy. “Stick yourself on him.”

The paper effigy immediately stuck to that person.

Feng Ling’s figure disappeared from Feng Lan’s bedroom at the same time. The barrier on the mirror disappeared and returned to normal.

Feng Ling followed the priest force left on the paper effigy and tracked it to a corner of the capital.

This seemed like the residence of a certain sinner’s family whose assets had been confiscated a long time ago. It was dilapidated and filled with spider webs and weeds.

That person walked straight into what looked like the hall.

Soon, conversation could be heard from inside.

One of them said submissively, “Hall Master.”

Then, a stern voice sounded. “I asked you to send those people to her. Why are you back so soon?”

“Hall Master, I was about to put those people down when a voice suddenly appeared in my mind, asking me to bring them away immediately. I was frightened at that time and came back immediately.”

“Voice? What voice?”

“It… it sounded like the Demon King’s voice.”

“Nonsense! How could the Demon King have sent you a voice transmission? The Demon King…”

The stern voice stopped abruptly. He seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked, “What else did that voice say?”

“He said to get the Hall Master to absorb the blood essence of these people and think of a way to send it to that person.”

The hall was silent for a while before a stern voice said, “Take them out. Go outside and guard them.”

“Yes, Hall Master.”

After the sound of something heavy falling to the ground, the door to the hall was pulled open and a figure walked out.

Feng Ling quickly used a talisman to freeze that person there.

When that person saw Feng Ling, his eyes widened in fear.

Feng Ling walked towards the door.

She didn’t hide it anymore and pushed open the door.

That hall master was about to cast a spell on those people. When he heard the door open, he shouted without looking back, “Didn’t I ask you to guard outside? Why did you come in again? If anything goes wrong here, even if you have a few heads, it won’t be sufficient to atone for your mistakes.”

The footsteps didn’t stop.

The hall master turned around angrily.

When he saw Feng Ling walking over, his expression changed drastically. “You, you, you…”

After this person stuttered for a while, he suddenly shouted, “You are Priestess Feng Ling.”

After saying that, he suddenly revealed killing intent and went into a fighting pose.

“Looks like your eyesight isn’t bad,” Feng Ling said and continued walking towards him as if she didn’t feel his murderous aura.

As Feng Ling walked, that person felt an invisible pressure on him.

Feng Ling glanced at his trembling legs and asked with a smile, “Are you afraid of me?”

“Bullsh*t! People from the demonic path like us have never been afraid of anyone.”

After that person finished speaking, a large hammer quickly appeared in his hand and he smashed it at Feng Ling.

Feng Ling tilted her body and easily dodged this hammer.

Seeing that he didn’t hit Feng Ling, that person slammed the hammer again and coated it with a layer of magic.

Feng Ling opened her palm and a whip appeared in it.

She swung the whip at the hammer, and a ball of flames formed on it.

Bang!

The whip and the big hammer collided with a deafening sound.

Dust instantly fell from the already unstable hall.

A barrier quickly appeared on Feng Ling’s body, repelling the dust.

That person wanted to take the opportunity to smash her, but when the large hammer hit the barrier, it was abruptly deflected.

“Ouch… Pfft…”

Looking at the person who was hit by his very own big hammer, Feng Ling sneered and threw the whip in her hand at him.

That person’s expression changed instantly and he shouted at her, “Ah… You can’t kill me, or those people can only die.”

When Feng Ling heard this, she hit a pillar beside her with the whip.

Bang!

The pillar was on the verge of collapse, and the entire hall seemed like it could collapse at any moment.

A proud glint flashed across that person’s eyes.

He emphasized again, “Once I die, these people will die immediately. As the priestess of your Kingdom of Phoenix Skies, you’re supposed to save people from suffering. Are you willing to see these ordinary people die with me?”

Feng Ling narrowed her eyes and looked at the people of the demonic path who dared to threaten her. The corners of her lips pursed slightly. After two seconds, she asked, “Are they not dead yet?”

“Of course not. But they were poisoned by our demonic path’s magic and you can’t undo it.”

Feng Ling nodded. This was the answer she wanted. Just as that person was feeling even more smug, she whipped him.

Owww~

A tragic scream resounded in the hall, startling the dust on the roof and causing it to fall.

Feng Ling looked at the person who was being beaten until black aura kept leaking out of his body.

She raised the whip in her hand again and said in a low voice, “Tell me, which level is Feng Lan’s current demonic powers at? Otherwise, I’ll directly turn you into ashes.”

“What are you talking about… Ah… I’ll talk, I’ll talk… She’s only at the first level… Ouch…”

Seeing the person from the Demonic Path in front of her quickly turn into nothingness, Feng Ling angrily slammed her whip on the pillar again.

Bang!

When the entire house was about to collapse, Feng Ling stuck a talisman on a pillar. The entire house immediately stopped.

She quickly walked to the door. Indeed, the fiendish person outside the door had disappeared.

Feng Ling thought for a while and turned around to conjure up a ball of flames in front of those youngsters. Indeed, there was a layer of black aura on their faces.

Feng Ling didn’t treat them immediately. She suddenly had a plan in her heart. She quickly sent a message to Assistant Minister Wu and cast a barrier on this residence. Then, she asked Phoenix to teleport her back to the herbs refining room in her bedchamber.

Ten minutes had passed.

Feng Ling didn’t stop. She opened the door and walked out.

She walked out of the hall and the sound of the zither stopped.

Feng Lan asked in a concerned tone, “Your Majesty, are you tired? Why don’t I…”

“Continue.” A cold voice interrupted Feng Lan, followed by the sound of flipping a book.

Feng Lan didn’t give up. She added, “Your Majesty, Sister isn’t out yet. Why don’t I play another tune that I created for you?”

The king said forcefully, “Just play a tune that Little Ling’er has played before.”

“But I…”

“If you refuse to play, shut up.”

The living room fell silent.

When Feng Ling heard this, the corners of her lips subconsciously curled up.

After she put away the smile on her face, she gestured to the guard standing by the door to open it.

The moment the door opened, the two people in the hall looked over at the same time.

The king sat there and didn’t move.

A trace of grievance that was deliberately suppressed but not suppressed immediately appeared in Feng Lan’s eyes. She stood up from the zither and walked over. “Sister, you’re here.”

Feng Ling looked at her and said to the king calmly, “Just now, Assistant Minister Wu sent someone to report that he found the missing people from Green River County in the abandoned courtyard on the west side of the city. He also captured two people from the Demonic Path. They also said something.”

When Feng Lan heard this, her expression froze.

Only then did the king stand up and walk over.

“What did they say?” After Feng Lan finished asking, she said with a surprised expression, “It’s great that those people were found. Sister, don’t let those two people from the Demonic Path escape.”

“No. I gave Assistant Minister Wu some talismans before. As long as those two people from the demonic path don’t reach the fifth level, they definitely won’t be able to escape the power of the talismans.”

Feng Lan’s heart skipped a beat and she quickly asked, “What talisman is it?”

Feng Ling smiled and didn’t say anything. Instead, she said, “You don’t have to worry about this matter. Let’s discuss the Spring Festival tomorrow. Master won’t appear tomorrow. We have to finish the Spring Festival.”

Feng Lan lowered her eyes and quietly tightened her grip on her skirt. She nodded and said, “Sure.”

Feng Ling and Feng Lan discussed this for two hours.

The king sat at the side and listened without commenting.

Two hours later, a report came from outside.

“Your Majesty, Priestess, Assistant Minister Wu seeks an audience.”
