"Are you still unwilling to speak now?" Zhao Yan said coldly.
Zhao Yan raised her hand, and Dong Liang thought he was going to be fed these disgusting insect eggs again.
The moment he swallowed those insect eggs, he felt something in his stomach sucking at him.
In less than half a minute, he could clearly feel the insect eggs hatching, and then being gnawed by something.
"I gave the statue to Qian Ling. I found the statue in a wasteland."
"There is a soul inside the statue. She said she was a goddess from ancient times. Her soul was injured and trapped in the statue."
"As long as I obey her commands, she will give me what I want."
"I didn't want to give it, but she threatened me. If I didn't give the statue to Qian Ling, we would all die. And she promised that Qian Ling would be fine, and she would treat Qian Ling the same way she treated me."
Zhao Yan asked suspiciously, "Where were you last night?"
Dong Liang trembled, "Last night, I handed the statue to Qian Ling as she instructed."
"I went out through the tunnel, and they didn't discover me. After handing it to Qian Ling, I came back through the tunnel."
Hearing Dong Liang's words, Zhao Yan and the old man exchanged glances.
Lan Jing grabbed Dong Liang's clothes and said, "Someone died yesterday, a woman in her forties, skinned alive."
"You must have done it!"
Hearing this, Dong Liang shook his head agitatedly, "I didn't do it! I came back yesterday after handing the statue to Qian Ling."
Speaking of this, Dong Liang immediately changed his tune, "Yes! I did it! I did it all! Haha! I did it!"
Zhao Yan suddenly understood why the same method had such different results.
"That woman was probably done by Qian Ling, perhaps instigated by a demon, or something else," Zhao Yan said.
Hearing Zhao Yan's words, Dong Liang said fiercely, "I did it. It has nothing to do with Ling Ling. I did it all!"
Looking at the frenzied Dong Liang, Zhao Yan became even more certain that he was not as involved as it seemed.
Seeing Dong Liang still shouting in the car, his emotions becoming very unstable.
Zhao Yan jabbed him hard with her elbow, hitting Dong Liang on the bridge of his nose.
The force of the elbow directly knocked Dong Liang unconscious.
"Go find Qian Ling," Zhao Yan said, opening the car door and sitting in the back seat.
They arrived at the school and searched for a while. Qian Ling was no longer at the school. Her roommate said she hadn't seen Qian Ling all night yesterday.
"Mr. Li, Miss Zhao, what does this demon want!" Lan Jing asked.
"A person's skin can only last for a few days. In the beginning, the demonic energy had not recovered, so the skin was needed."
"But now, judging from the yin energy in these statues, the demonic energy has recovered considerably. She is no longer satisfied with skin. She needs a person, a living person, a suitable living person, so that she can perfectly inherit this person."
Hearing the old man's words, Lan Jing said, "So she's targeting Qian Ling?"
Zhao Yan shook her head, "No!"
Judging from the skin, this demon was extremely picky. Zhao Yan had seen Qian Ling, and by appearance alone, she was not someone this demon would fancy.
"Li Yufei!"
Zhao Yan thought of this and immediately turned to look at Lan Jing and the others.
Lan Jing immediately took out his phone and dialed.
"No one is answering."
"Let's go," Zhao Yan said in a deep voice.
Li Yufei had good conditions and rented a place outside the school.
Lan Jing had arranged for people to watch her. Now, when he called, none of their phones were connecting.
When they arrived at Li Yufei's residence, there was a van parked next to the residence. Zhao Yan walked over to look. The people in the van were not in mortal danger, just unconscious.
"Da Jie, Li Dong." Lan Jing raised his hand and shook the people in the car.
He shook them awake, and they looked at Lan Jing, immediately startled.
"Brother Lan!"
Seeing them like this, Lan Jing was furious, "I told you to watch people, but you ended up sleeping soundly."
Zhao Yan quickly walked towards the door. The door was not locked. She pushed it open and glanced inside. No one was there anymore.
There were no signs of a struggle on the ground. It was understandable, as the demon could easily take Li Yufei away.
"How is it, Miss Zhao?" Lan Jing walked over and asked Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan sighed, "She's been taken away, not here."
Speaking of this, Zhao Yan suddenly felt something was not quite right. General Black Tiger walked around her.
General Black Tiger gently bit Zhao Yan's wrist and dug hard at the ground below.
"Underground?"
Zhao Yan exclaimed in surprise. She stood up, and General Black Tiger ran forward quickly, barking furiously at the ground.
After eating the thousand-year-old wild ginseng, General Black Tiger was much stronger than before in all aspects.
Zhao Yan took out her peach wood sword and stabbed it where General Black Tiger was barking.
As she stabbed down, Yang energy spread out from the peach wood sword as the center.
Looking around, the room became dilapidated, covered in cobwebs.
"It's an illusion."
What they had just seen were all illusions set up by the demon, and the demon was right here.
The most dangerous place was the safest. This demon wanted to play the trick of hiding in plain sight.
If it weren't for General Black Tiger's keen sense of smell, Zhao Yan would never have thought of it.
"Bang!"
Many spider silks suddenly emerged from underground, piercing through the floor.
These spiders split into several strands and wrapped around Zhao Yan from all directions.
The spider silks blocked the outside, preventing Lan Jing and the others from advancing.
"Mr. Li, there are so many spider silks, we can't get through."
The old man fiddled with the spider silks and found that they also had a corrosive effect.
"You all retreat, don't advance. If you go in, you'll just be a burden to Yan Yan."
The old man looked inside, he could no longer locate Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan, holding General Black Tiger, hid in the corner as countless spider silks continuously wrapped around her.
She stabbed a sword into the floor and slammed her palm down with force.
The floor split open. Zhao Yan looked down and saw a cavity beneath the floor, with many things hanging there.
As she looked down, a pair of blood-red eyes stared up at her from below.
Zhao Yan quickly threw the peach wood sword she was holding downwards.
"Soldiers, fight, all stand before me!"
With a hum, a talisman like a fireball burned and flew towards the attacking spider silks. The talisman ignited underground.
She saw pairs of inverted human feet appearing underground.
