"Look!" Yen Mingjue suddenly shouted. The hound's snout was pointing at one of the large mirrors that are close to him. On it aside from the hound's reflection, there are two kinds of a mist moving together, more like trying to devour one another. One is black, and the other is white.

Yen Mingjue then realized that the mists are Gao Lan Mei and Cuojue fighting for control! But which among the mist is Gao Lan Mei?

"What the h.e.l.l?!" Yen Mingjue exclaimed loudly. Gao Lan Mei made it sound so easy earlier when she mentioned about offering Cuojue earlier to replace Xiao s.h.i.+.

Why did he not realize that it is a gamble that only has a low chance of winning?!

Cuojue may lose control of the treasure after she possessed Gao Lan Mei's body, which is her disadvantage earlier as they can use an enchanted net suppress her.

However, the moment Cuojue turned back into a spirit, the only that can fight her is Gao Lan Mei. There is no disadvantage whatsoever.

All will just boil down to sheer mental strength which the original guardian of the mirror treasure naturally possesses. Add to the fact the Cuojue had lived inside the treasure since the time it was created thus knows everything about it.

'Gao Lan Mei persist until the end.' Yen Mingjue whispered under his breath as they all looked at how the black mist slowly overpowers the other.

They can all depend on their instinct for discerning bad luck as unsure if the black mist is Gao Lan Mei or not.

The more of the white mist was devoured, the more the mirror move irregularly, which is making them more anxious.

"Watch out!" One of the Liqi clan members exclaimed in warning as a mirror moved to attack one of them.

"No! No! Sister Gao fight!" Ma Fei Hong exclaimed almost sure that the white mist is Gao Lan Mei as she is also certain that the first thing Cuojue would do after getting back her authority is to revenge at them!

Ma Fei Hong avoided a mirror that moved towards her. She then grabbed another and held it firmly to look closer as she thinks of a way to help Gao Lan Mei.

"All of you try to sense Gao Lan Mei make sure you are all connected. Someone tries to use the prisms to connect with her!" Ma Fei Hong stated.

She remembered that there are beings that are still inside the prism have stones that are connected with Gao Lan Mei's soul before, and they can try using those stones to do something possibly.

But before they can do something, the white mist was already entirely swallowed by the black one, and after that moment, all the mirrors around them shattered.

With the high number of mirrors, as well as the limited distance, most of the broken pieces of the mirror were sent to their direction, causing pain from the impact of the hits.

Aside from that, the transparent dome-like gla.s.s that was originally hiding them from YinYing's started to show cracks as well!

"Gao Lan Mei? Answer me!" Ma Fei Hong shouted in distress. As long as Cuojue does not show herself, the deacon is still hoping that Gao Lan Mei is alive. "Oy! Sung Zhi Ruo what is going on?"

Sung Zhi Ruo shook her head. She had been trying to sense Gao Lan Mei or Cuojue at least, but she tried the connection that she previously has with the Sung treasure is still nonexistent.

"I can't sense anything," Sung Zhi Ruo replied truthfully that made everyone feeling devastated.

Ma Fei Hong slumped to the ground for a while disbelief is clearly shown on her face. "Even Cuojue?" She asked the Sung Miss, who just nodded in response.

With the response, Ma Fei Hong removed the enchanted golden net from Gao Lan Mei's body, and she tried to send spiritual energy to heal it. Her action is only showing them that she is still hoping that the Gao young miss is still alive.

'If she is still alive, then where is she? Why everything seems to crumble completely anytime soon?' Yin Bai thought bitterly. They agreed to help Gao Lan Mei so she can save their clan's divine beast initially, but they cooperated further to get out of the s.h.i.+zi empire alive.

They all feel bad for her constant struggles like the heavens are testing her, but they should worry about themselves first.

'Now what? Are we going to give up and just die here?' Yin Bai looked at his grandfather, questioningly.
