"I still can''t find the connection between the all, Xie Lan, New soul? What does that mean? And what does that have to do with mind magic?" Xue Ning asked.


    Fu Xie Lan then told all the things she knew without exception, including what Hao had told her, to the three people without adding or subtracting.??


    "Don''t say that new soul ...."


    "Unfortunately, what you thought seems correct."


    "Someone manipted people''s minds into thinking that the current emperor is Fu Qing," said Fu Xie Lan slowly.


    "The goal is to be able to do what they want without anyone suspecting it?" Xue Ning guessed.


    "So true, in other words, everything that happens in this pce is interconnected. The culprit is of course not a human or even the emperor himself," Fu Xie Lan guessed.


    "Including the hell snake, you mentioned earlier?" Xue Ning asked.


    "I just heard there is such a creature."


    "But why did they resurrect the creature? I mean what''s its purpose?" Ju Xian said in confusion.


    "There''s no mistaking it, this must all be the work of a ck witch," Xue Ning guessed feeling so sure.


    "ck witch?" one of Fu Xie Lan''s eyebrows rose.


    "The one behind the events seven hundred years ago, Xie Lan."


    "I didn''t experience it firsthand, but the stories passed down from the previous people who survived the bloody incident said that the ck witch had not been destroyed, they''re still there, just haven''t shown up yet," Xue Ning exined at length.


    "And they were originally normal humans like people out there," added the girl again.


    "Yes, an ordinary human who transformed into a ck witch because of their greed for power and their heartache for all races who always treated them unfairly," said the girl again.


    "It seems that you know a lot about what happened seven hundred years ago, Xue Ning?" asked Fu Xie Lan.


    "Not much. I''m just saying what my predecessors said. Because I wasn''t born at that time," Xue Ning replied.


    "And it seems that the incident you described has something to do with the mind magic we encountered at the phoenix academy," Xue Ning said again.


    "I believe this is all the work of a ck witch," she said. Her memories returned to the forest when she witnessed Fu Xie Lan ughter those witches who gave off that stench.


    "They started the move, Xie Lan. The entire race is currently in danger if they are not stopped immediately," Xue Ning said again. The girl continued to chatter non-stop, spitting out everything she knew without noticing the change in expression on Wan Lie''s face.


    "And I can tell that they are not alone," Xue Ning said again.


    "If in the past it was the Queen who saved the lives of the entire race by sacrificing herself, this time if the ck witches back and do the same thing as before, I really can''t predict what kind of thing will happen to the entire race in the future," said Xue Ning rubbed her arm because of goosebumps, with a frightened expression.


    "Why so scared? Isn''t there still a demon race that is known to be stronger than all races?" asked Fu Xie Lan.


    "If the Demon race is strong, the ruler will not lose the Queen and all his people along with his family."


    "Are you saying that incident caused the demise of the Demon race?"


    "That''s what I heard, Xie Lan. And the only one left in him, the current reigning Lord."


    "If indeed the ck witch is to return, then the only hope of all races is Him."


    "Why only expect one person? I mean, if everyone can help and cooperate, why not do it?" asked Fu Xie Lan.


    "It''s useless, Xie Lan. Even when all the races are united, it''s still not enough to stop the ck witchs. They are strong and downright terrible. The Demon Race, which is known to be stronger than any other race, was wiped out overnight," exined Xue Ning.


    Fu Xie Lan was silent to hear everything, somehow she who initially only wanted to exin the events in the pce ended up discussing the events of seven hundred years ago, and came to such a shocking conclusion.


    The girl''s brow furrowed and was silent for a long time.


    So did the other three, lost in their thoughts.


    "So what should we do now?" asked Ju Xian.


    The four of them realized the danger they were in and that their opponent this time was not an ordinary person but a ck witch, the mastermind behind the events of seven hundred years ago.


    "You guys go back, leave me here alone," Fu Xie Lan eximed after a few minutes of silence.


    Suddenly Wan Lie and the other two looked at Fu Xie Lan in confusion.


    "What do you mean, Xie Lan? Back?" Xue Ning asked.


    "You guys go back to wizard territory. Being with me will only put your lives at risk."


    "There''s still time before the banquet starts, I can take you out of the pce. Let''s get ready," said Fu Xie Lan then stood up from her position.


    "No Xie Lan, I don''t want to go," Ju Xian refused first.


    "I won''t leave you alone in this kind of danger, Xie Lan," Xue Ning followed.


    The two of them did not move an inch from their position.


    As for Wan Lie, since the discussion about the events of seven hundred years ago began. The young man was just silent, his gaze was so cold with tightly clenched hands.


    "I want to find my father''s whereabouts, and also seize the ruby ??star stone."


    "I don''t want you to be involved, risking your lives just for my own sake," said Fu Xie Lan again.


    "No Xie Lan."


    "I refuse," said Ju Xian and Xue Ning were almost at the same time.


    "Even if I have to die now, I won''t leave you," Ju Xian said again adamantly. From the start, he had set his heart on following Fu Xie Lan and helping the girl as best he could. No matter how dangerous they will be.


    And Xue Ning''s thoughts were not much different from Ju Xian''s.


    As for Wan Lie, the young man had not responded or even reacted in the slightest.


    A rough sigh escaped Fu Xie Lan''s lips. Somehow she had to convince the two of them to leave.


    "I never forced you to follow me anywhere. I revoke all our previous agreements. Now you have not bound to me anymore. You are free, go anywhere and be with anyone," said Fu Xie Lan, steadying her heart.


    "And we will voluntarily stay with you, Xie Lan. Even without your agreement," said Ju Xian.


    "So don''t tell us to stay away from you," Xue Ning said again.


    Again, another harsh sigh escaped from Fu Xie Lan''s lips.


    "But you can lose your life if you stay with me."


    "If that''s the only way to stay by your side. Even if I die, I will," said Xue Ning firmly followed by Ju Xian.
