"The beings below have permitted me to capture you. You either come with me, or don't blame me for being impolite," Mu Anxiao said. She took a few steps back, and as she raised her hand, a silver rope flew towards her. Immediately, she opened her palm and caught the rope.
"Although I am a demon soul, I am capable of controlling demons," the wolf demon said, smirking sinisterly. It turned its head to look at another demon walking towards them, carrying a man.
Mu Anxiao frowned and glanced at the man on the demon's shoulder. She asked, "Wolf demon, what exactly do you want?"
"I don't want anything, I just want to find a suitable body for myself. Of course, the most suitable one for me is Shen Yan's descendant," the wolf demon said condescendingly to Mu Anxiao. "However, I can't find him right now, so I'll have to settle for something."
Mu Anxiao clenched her fists and scanned the wolf demon's body, thinking, 'That's the spot.' With that thought, she suddenly punched the wolf demon's shoulder, then quickly retracted the silver rope and darted past the wolf demon towards the other demon.
Subsequently, the demon raised its eyes, which glowed darkly, and repeatedly muttered, "I want to live, I want to live." As it spoke, it casually tossed the man on its shoulder onto a nearby sand pile.
Mu Anxiao glanced at the man, raised her fists, and swung them at the possessed demon.
The next second, the demon grabbed Mu Anxiao's fists and said, "Die."
Then, Mu Anxiao rapidly observed the demon and murmured, "That's the spot." With that, she quickly raised two fingers and pointed at the demon's forehead. The demon froze and released its grip on her fists.
The wolf demon, surprised by Mu Anxiao's technique, asked, "How did you see it?"
Mu Anxiao took out the small jade bottle she had snatched from the wolf demon's neck. Without looking back, she shouted, "I saw through it at a glance." As she spoke, she used her thumb to push open the stopper sealing the jade bottle, and a green light enveloped them.
The wolf demon looked disbelievingly at the shoulder Mu Anxiao had punched and retreated two steps.
Mu Anxiao tilted her face, and as the spiritual energy seeped into the demon's body, she immediately withdrew her hand and turned to the wolf demon. "You actually stole the forbidden item used to collect spiritual energy from below, but I found you." After speaking, she put the jade bottle into her pocket.
The wolf demon followed Mu Anxiao's gesture and looked at her pocket. "This is all you've got."
However, Mu Anxiao was not provoked by the wolf demon at all. She calmly said, "This item is your treasure for controlling demons, isn't it?" She patted her pocket.
"I'm going to find Shen Yan's descendant now," the wolf demon said, realizing it couldn't win an argument with Mu Anxiao. It turned and disappeared.
Mu Anxiao narrowed her eyes. "I won't fall for your trick." As she spoke, she turned to the demon, which was slowly opening its eyes, and asked, "Are you alright?"
The demon's eyes returned to brown, and it clutched its head, looking around. "Where am I?"
"You've forgotten?" Mu Anxiao asked.
The demon nodded, then looked at the man lying on the sand pile, surprised. "A human saw me?"
Mu Anxiao sighed. "Perhaps." As she spoke, she looked at two small boys in suits emerging from the sand and asked, "Are you the spirit guardians of this place?"
"How did you know?"
"I came from over there," Mu Anxiao replied truthfully.
The first spirit guardian nodded and stepped forward, looking up at the demon. "You have broken the precept."
