Upon hearing this, a sinister look flashed across Wushi Puppet’s face.

At this moment, a sense of being toyed with surfaced in his heart!

But before he could react to this humiliation, Shen Li softly spoke again, "Just as I expected, this Seal should be a good item used by a powerful ancient Immortal Dynasty to suppress fortune."

As her words settled, she raised her palm once more, whereupon green light flickered.

The inch-long Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect instantly emerged from her palm, then transformed into a green streak, rushing toward the Wushi Puppet enveloped by the National Seal Treasure Seal.

Seeing her strike again, Wushi Puppet hastily suppressed his anger, focusing his attention.

The speed of the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect had already been demonstrated when it eliminated the Yin Generals of the Underworld.

From flying out of Shen Li’s hand to attacking Wushi Puppet, it was almost like teleportation.

Wushi Puppet felt that he had just mobilized the True Essence Spiritual Power inside him, ready to stimulate the National Seal Treasure Seal above his head, when the green light had already reached him.

As a cultivator in the Late Stage of Golden Core, he did not take the seemingly inconspicuous inch-long green streak lightly.

At the instant the green streak attacked his face, the National Seal Treasure Seal above his head abruptly shifted position, directly shielding his face.

Bang!

The Protective Spiritual Power Shield surrounding the National Seal was instantly pierced by the green streak, which continued its momentum and crashed hard against the National Seal, emitting a terrifying explosion!

"Little Green, be careful, don’t damage that Treasure Seal."

Shen Li’s voice rang out, causing the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect, which was preparing to attack again, to pause slightly before quickly circling around Wushi Puppet’s body.

At this moment, Wushi Puppet’s face had become very unsightly, even somewhat apprehensive.

Just now, his Protective Spiritual Power was actually penetrated in an instant by that peculiar green light!

If he hadn’t been cautious enough, placing the National Seal Treasure Seal in front of his face in advance, that strike just now might have severely injured him!

At this moment, a trace of regret rose in Wushi Puppet’s heart!

Regretful of why he provoked this peculiar woman!

Watching the green streak rapidly circling around him, ready to attack again at any moment, Wushi Puppet understood that if this continued, he would surely suffer.

"General Qin, quickly come and help me repel the enemy!"

With no choice, Wushi Puppet could only call for help.

His thunderous voice echoed in the void.

The next moment, a flow of light filled with Blood Evil aura suddenly shot up from the Fushan Country camp below!

After arriving beside Wushi Puppet, the flow of light instantly split into two scarlet flames, surrounding and intercepting the green streak transformed from the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect.

And the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect seemed very apprehensive of the aura of the flames, and after a chase and dodge, the green streak suddenly stopped—

Squeak!

The Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect revealed its form, letting out a strange cry.

As it had faced the Yin Generals of the Underworld, the two blood flames pursuing it also stiffened slightly at this strange cry before merging into one, transforming into an elderly black-faced man wearing dark red armor, with white hair.

The old man’s body exuded a thick aura of killing, his eyes like an eagle’s, fixed intently on the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect not far away.

In the distance, Shen Li saw this suddenly emerged elder, and murmured quietly, "Loyal and brave to the core... "

"Little Green, come back."

Receiving the order, the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect, which was quietly hovering in front of the two, let out a reluctant cry, then quickly transformed into a green light, returning to Shen Li’s palm.

"Your Majesty, who is this woman?"

With the crisis temporarily averted, the black-faced elder finally lowered his guard and respectfully cupped his hands toward Wushi Puppet.

Wushi Puppet’s face was troubled; up to now, he hadn’t figured out Shen Li’s identity and had inexplicably fought with her.

"Who exactly are you?"

"Are you afraid to even say your name?"

Meeting Wushi Puppet’s gaze, Shen Li looked down at the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect in her hand, gently soothing it.

"No worries, you’re still in the larval stage; when you transform into the growth stage, those forces that you dread will be much fewer."

"At that time, you can seek guidance from them again."

Lightly tapping the Celestial Capital Grass Sword Insect’s head with her finger, Shen Li retracted it into her body, then looked at the Golden Toad hiding in the distance.

"Xiao Jin, let’s go."

Her figure gracefully landed on the Golden Toad’s back, and one human and one demon transformed into a Golden Light, fleeing into the distance.

Beside Wushi Puppet, seeing this, the elder named General Qin prepared to give chase, but was stopped by Wushi Puppet.

"General, let it be."

"This woman resembles the legendary Witch Cultivator; though she only has an Early Stage of Golden Core cultivation, her techniques are very strange and hard to guard against."

"I nearly fell into his trap just now."

"Now with the Spirit about to manifest, we should prioritize the Spirit."

The black-faced General Qin paused, cupping his hands slightly, "It’s just a pity that I, an old minister, have been in hiding for over a hundred years, and now because of this woman, I am prematurely exposed."

"Now, all parties around Yunmeng Marsh are probably aware of my existence..."

Hearing this, a trace of barely noticeable embarrassment flashed in Wushi Puppet’s eyes.

"This matter is my fault, let’s just forget it."

"Now we can only see if the arrangements of the Tribulation Fire Sect can be effective or not."

"Should the Tribulation Fire Sect be able to resolve the Shen Family and those Sword Cultivators, with me and the General’s strength, along with the youngsters of Fushan Country, there is still hope of acquiring this Spirit."

"Let’s go."

The two figures descended to the camp below.

...

After the Golden Toad carried Shen Li away from the battlefield, flying forward for not long, an unusual natural phenomenon suddenly appeared in the Yunmeng Marsh ahead!

Within the swamp spanning nearly a thousand miles, the black snow accumulated over a year suddenly melted rapidly for some unknown reason!
