Li Fan, of course, couldn't take Bai Shuangying directly to the crime scene, since Su Xiaoji hadn't died, and being too precise in his account—as if he had watched the entire incident with his own eyes—would have invited trouble. Therefore, he simply led her to the general area and excused himself by saying,
"I am old and my memory fails me. It was around here that I stumbled upon Daoist Su while I was gathering herbs."
Bai Shuangying, as expected, didn't suspect anything. She formed a hand seal and calculated the prohibitions and seals of nearby Mountain Heng, then nodded and replied,
"Thank you, Daoist Li, for your assistance. I will investigate the restricted area of my sect on my own."
Just as the two were about to part ways, a demonic aura surged up to the sky! It carried the terrifying momentum of a Transforming Spirit Demon King—surely it was a Demon God from Cloud Dream Marsh breaking its seal!
