'I didn't expect the Black Crown to be obtained by Skeleton Crow,' thought Ying Hua. 'How did he find it? I'm sure he's keeping a big secret. And if I asked him what it was, he wouldn't answer. I'm pretty sure he's not an ordinary demon. He is powerful, maybe even very powerful.'
They traveled to the Myong Forest, where the Red-Eyed Black Snake resides. With their bodies completely transformed into airborne particles, together they explored open paths to closed paths hidden in the forest.
Now and then they had to stop because of Ying Hua and Old Man Mo's energy which was often depleted after losing the battle at Qing Palace. Even Old Man Mo sometimes coughed and vomited thick, boiling blood, as a sign that some traces of the attacks he had received in the palace still affected him to this time.
