Chapter 267.1: Where Did She Go?
No one had expected such a sudden development.
Especially Baili Yu. As he watched that dagger descend, rage flooded his heart and his eyes turned blood red. He hated himself, why did he hesitate!?
However, there was nothing he could do since he had retreated too far away. Even though he reacted in an instant and immediately flew over, it was already too late.
He was only a few steps away when the dagger stabbed into Tang Doudou’s chest. His vision turned blood red and uncontrollable pain flooded into his heart and turned to rage. He mercilessly stabbed Blood Satan through the person that had suddenly shown up. Hatred, fury, and despair filled his heart. “Nangong Yan!”
Mu Ye had moved a step after him and wasn’t able to make it in time either. He could only watch helplessly as scarlet spilled out from Tang Doudou’s chest. Her glistening eyes were opened wide in vacant helplessness.
Since her five senses had been sealed, she had no idea who attacked her.
Shen Moru kicked aside Nangong Yan who had almost fallen on him and cursed, “Wretch! Only knows how to ruin things!”
Then he escaped with Tang Doudou while Baili Yu and Mu Ye were still distracted.
Tang Doudou had been stabbed in the chest, so she was definitely going to die. There was nothing to hesitate about anymore. Baili Yu couldn’t be bothered with Nangong Yan and chased after Shen Moru.
When Mu Ye was passing by Nangong Yan, he stomped on her neck hard. This damned wretch! He shouldn’t have let her off in the inn!
Murderous intent then filled his eyes. Nangong Yan grabbed Mu Ye’s foot and tried to push it off as she made guttural sounds. She seemed to be begging for mercy.
Mu Ye didn’t feel even the slightest bit of pity for her. He had heard from Lil’ Gray that it was this woman who caused Tang Doudou to be heartbroken, which was what led her to run off on her own and end up getting caught by Shen Moru.
She, just like Shen Moru, deserved to die!
“Mu Ye, you can’t kill the miss!” Liu Zhiyuan rushed over from a distance away. When he saw that Mu Ye was stepping on Nangong Yan, he immediately attacked with his sword. “Miss is Baili Yu’s biological sister. If you kill her, Baili Yu won’t let you off!”
Mu Ye didn’t seem concerned as he lifted his hand and forced Liu Zhiyuan back. “Baili Yu doesn’t have the ability to interfere with my decisions!”
Liu Zhiyuan knew that he was determined to kill Nangong Yan, so he gave up using words and just started attacking. His martial arts skill was quite high, so Mu Ye didn’t dare to underestimate him. After a few exchanges of blows, he had no choice but to first let Nangong Yan off for now to deal with Liu Zhiyuan.
However, right after he let go of Nanong Yan, a person suddenly appeared from the pile of corpses and fled with Nangong Yan.
Liu Zhiyuan immediately moved to stop Mu Ye from chasing after them. “Could it be that you’re not worried about Tang Doudou? Although Baili Yu is strong, it’d still be difficult for him to deal with Shen Moru on his own, so Shen Moru might succeed in escaping!”
Mu Ye naturally understood the logic of this, but he also couldn’t bring himself to let Nangong Yan off.
He had to eliminate everything that threatened Tang Doudou.
Just as he was about to shake Liu Zhiyuan off to chase after Nangong Yan, he saw a black cloud cover the sun. Continuous crowing arose from above him. When he took a closer look, he saw that the black cloud was actually formed from countless black crows.
His expression immediately changed and he hastily rushed in the direction that Shen Moru had ran in.
By the time he got there, the situation had already become reversed. Tang Doudou who had been stabbed by Nangong Yan was now standing high up in the sky with an austere air around her. Her usually glistening black pupils had now turned a faint ice blue and a dark, red flame mark appeared between her brows. Her appearance was remarkably similar to that of a sorceress.
She was clutching Shen Moru’s neck and slowly lifting him. From the looks of it, his neck was about to be snapped, but he was still engrossed in watching Tang Doudou with his eyes that now contained pupils. He seemed to have already gone deranged.
Mu Ye wanted to approach, but Baili Yu stopped him. “Don’t go over there, she’s no longer conscious.”
“How did this happen?”
“Shen Moru purposefully angered her, then undid her seal. Afterwards, the situation suddenly became like this.” Baili Yu’s eyes flickered slightly. It was clear that he was keeping something from Mu Ye.
Mu Ye didn’t look into it. Baili Yu had a lot of secrets, but he also had quite a lot too. The only reason the two of them were able to collaborate was because of Tang Doudou. If Tang Doudou wasn’t here, they’d definitely be trying to kill each other.
“What do we do now?” Mu Ye glanced at the cloud of crows. With a disturbance this huge, Saint Palace will definitely be sending out people.
If Baili Yu knew what to do, he wouldn’t be standing here right now.
He sighed. “Let’s wait and see for now. Shen Moru is all she can see right now. Perhaps she’ll calm down after killing Shen Moru.”
“What if she can’t calm down?” asked Mu Ye.
Baili Yu’s eyes darkened. “Then we can only…”
Mu Ye said coldly, “No way!”
“Do you have a better idea?”
Mu Ye didn’t reply and simply clenched his chain harder.
Baili Yu glanced at him. “Didn’t she also become like this at Green Maple City?”
Mu Ye pressed his lips together tightly. “Yes.”
As of now, the sky was already completely dark due to the dense blacket of crows. No one knew what was going on and felt terrified. It was like the apocalypse was descending.
The white-robed people gathered and looked at the crows above them for a moment, before heading towards a certain direction.
Currently, Tang Doudou had no thoughts in her head except for one: Kill him! Kill the person she was holding!
She slowly closed her fingers with a cold expression.

Chapter 267.2: Where Did She Go?
Although Shen Moru’s neck was being choked, he was still able to speak. “Tang Doudou ah, Tang Doudou. If I die, you’ll never be able to obtain those secrets again!”
“Don’t you want to know who exactly you are?”
“Don’t you want to know why you got poisoned with the Disseminating Tassel Fragrance, and why you suddenly disappeared?”
“And why you would become like you currently are now?”
“And there’s Baili Yu, aren’t you worried about his Hoarfrost Poison?”
There was no change in Tang Doudou’s expression, but she stopped tightening her hands. Her ice blue eyes swept over him indifferently before becoming filled with strong bloodthirst. “You talk too much!”
Shen Moru coughed out a mouthful of black blood. “As expected of a child of the Xuanyuan tribe, the reputation is not in vain!”
Following that, he turned into black smoke before recondensing at a distant place.
Tang Doudou charged over and crushed Shen Moru who still hadn’t fully condensed under her foot. “Die!”
“Tang Doudou…” Just as she was increasing her strength to crush Shen Moru’s skull, a gentle voice suddenly appeared in her mind.
“Who?” She looked around but couldn’t see anyone.
“There’s no point in searching, you won’t be able to see me.”
“What do you want?” Tang Doudou was very curious. Ever since she abruptly woke up earlier, the only voice she had been able to hear was Shen Moru’s. She hadn’t been able to hear or see anything else.
So it was hard not to be curious about this voice that had suddenly appeared.
“What I want? Won’t you know once you come take a look?” said that voice.
“Where are you?” Tang Doudou took a step forward.
“Walk towards the left, all the way forward…” That voice seemed to contain some sort of demonic compelling force. Although she didn’t want to go in the direction he gave, her legs started moving in that direction without her command.
Shen Moru got up from the ground and watched Tang Doudou’s strange behavior with surprise in his eyes. A dagger appeared in his hand, but before he could act, a hand pressed against his shoulder. “Don’t move.”
Shen Moru recognized this voice, so he didn’t turn around. “Aren’t you worried about getting retribution for doing this?”
“You’re not afraid, so why should I fear it?”
“What do you want?”
“Why does everyone seem to like asking me this?” That person laughed lightly. “If you want to know, why don’t you just follow and see for yourself?”
After he said this, Shen Moru started walking forward blankly just like Tang Doudou.
Baili Yu was stunned to see the person that had suddenly appeared, but he didn’t pause to ask questions and made to chase after Tang Doudou.
That person called out to him. “Brother Baili, please wait.”
“We’ll talk when I get back!” Baili Yu glanced at him, uncertain of his intentions.
“Mu gongzi can handle following Lady Doudou. Brother Baili had better come with me to a certain place!”
Right after that person spoke, Mu Ye nodded towards Baili Yu and headed off.
“Lan Jia, you’d best explain yourself.” Baili Yu turned around to face Lan Jia.
Lan Jia chuckled, then pushed Shen Moru aside. His shallow eyes that seemed clear were currently unreadable. “Brother Baili, could it be that you don’t trust me anymore?”
“Trust must be built on reality. Reality has shown that the clue about Yiling that you gave me was wrong. Nangong Yan definitely isn’t Yiling!” The moment Baili Yu recalled this matter, rage filled his eyes. That damned woman!
Lan Jia seemed surprised. “She isn’t? However, the only female infant that was brought back to Cerulean Mountain was her.”
Baili Yu was still worried about Tang Doudou so he didn’t want to waste time arguing about this. He turned to continue walking without replying.
However, he only managed to take a few steps before he was hit with strong dizziness. His footing became unsteady and he crashed straight to the ground.
“Lan Jia, you…” Before he even finished speaking, he fainted.
Lan Jia walked to Baili Yu and crouched down. Reaching out, he stroked Baili Yu’s face as he remarked, “It sure isn’t easy to knock you out. It took almost eight people’s portions…”
Meanwhile, Mu Ye was chasing after Tang Doudou and heading towards the edge of the Sacred Tree. The further they went, the more serious his expression became, because there was not a single person around and no visible roads. The only thing ahead of them was an extremely deep abyss with billowing black smoke.
Mu Ye’s gaze swept around. Where did she go?
The sky was still covered with crows so it was very dim and hard to see things. Mu Ye tried every single direction, and even questioned multiple people, but no one had seen Tang Doudou.
He could only return to the edge of the Sacred Tree. As he gazed at the billowing black fog below him, his eyes flickered with hesitation. Could it be that she’s jumped into the Devil’s Depths?
However, he didn’t dare to try confirming this guess, because there was no fate other than death for those who jump into the Devil’s Depths. Although she wasn’t conscious, she should still be very sensitive to danger due to her inner strength exploding. Devil’s Depths was surrounded by the black fog year round and filled with the scent of death. There was no way that she wouldn’t be able to notice this.
But… If she hadn’t jumped into Devil’s Depths, where did she disappear to?
Mu Ye looked at Devil’s Depths for a long time. Just as he prepared to descend a little to look for signs of her, he saw a trace of red out of the corner of his eyes.
He hastily went over and picked up that red item. It was the red string Tang Doudou had used to hang Baili Yu’s thumb ring around her neck. It still contained the bound hair.
Mu Ye abruptly looked towards Devil’s Depths, then jumped in without any more hesitation.
