'That is impossible!'  Fa Yuan immediately placed that idea at the back of his head as that idea was ridiculous and unbelievable for him. He then forced himself to move towards Li Huan's location. 

Buzz!

Boom!

Before he could get closed, explosions were heard to where Li Huan's voice came from. 

The dust in the air was still present mixed, making it difficult for mortals to see through it. However, it was also the case for him because of the strange energy and magic from within it.  

At this time, the pressure was stronger, and Fa Yuan could also hear cracking sounds from within it accompanied with the sparks of light. 

It did not take long for the dust to subside and what Fa Yuan saw shocked him, to say the least. 

He saw Li Huan and Fa Liwei lying on the ground with pale gaze and limp body and Gao Lan Mei floating up in the air on top of them. A black and purple aura surrounded her. 

Gao Lan Mei's eyes were nothing but dark empty holes. The black fog surrounding her that seems to be coming from her mouth the terrifying sight made Fa Huan tremble as he recalled something from his past. It was easy for him to understood what was happening now. 

Fa Yuan, he watched closely and the more he was able to the more he did not noticed that he was being affected by another magic. He stood still his dark eyes focused only at Gao Lan Mei as if he was not terrified earlier. That moment he was like a puppet waiting for his master's orders.

"What are you still not doing anything?!" Li Huan yelled at him. 

Fa Yuan was startled because of that. He seemed to wake up from a dreamless sleep. 

'What happened?' He asked himself in confusion. Eventually, Fa Yuan managed to figure out what was going on. He did not notice it, but because of the magic coming out of Gao Lan Mei, he was slowly being manipulated. 

Whatever Gao Lan Mei was doing at that moment, it was something that anyone should be afraid of.

Why? Because once Gao Lan Mei's dark fog reached its victim, it could absorb them until none was left!

Fa Yuan shook his head. As someone who was a spy in the s.h.i.+zi Empire, he was part of the Zicuiyu Regime of the Gao family. 

Even though he was an enemy, he still could not help but be amazed every time he saw the supposed useless Young Miss make things difficult for her enemies. 

It was a significant loss that he was not able to capture the Gao Lan Mei and possibly make her join them. 

Regardless of knowing this, Fa Yuan needed to think fast! 

Thinking like this, Fa Yuan's gaze from Gao Lan Mei towards the fake Li Huan and Fa Ziwei. As both were not natural enemies, they would wait for their demise. 

It was clear how both were not giving up despite the pressure and limitation that Gao Lan Mei had caused them. 

***

As Gao Lan Mei concentrated on absorbing the energy of everyone around her, she grew stronger and stronger.

When she absorbs the energy of any powerful being, she also takes in their spirits. It adds to the pile of power she's building for herself.

Gao Lan Mei looked at Li Huan, "I like what you did back then. It was good not to leave a mess on the table when you eat. Do not worry. I will eat everything." She said with a bright grin. 

"No!" Li Huan yelled loudly as she clenched her teeth. Her lips trembled in anger. 

She knew what Gao Lan Mei means. Earlier, Li Huan used the impurities to crush any and absorb any living being completely, anything that has spiritual energy. 

The only thing that was left of the victims' trace was blood on the ground that was spilled. So how could she allow that to happen to her? 

However, just getting up from her current position was already a struggle. The pressure form Gao Lan Mei was keeping them in place. She was also getting weaker by the minute. Aside from that, Fa Liwei was currently leaning at her for the support! 

'Despicable!' Li Huan cursed silently as she musters all her strength to push Fa Liwei as far as possible. Because of this, Fa Liwei managed to escape Gao Lan Mei's zone, and he feels a little better. 

Li Huan smirked and nodded her head at Fa Liwei. Though she was unable to accept the situation and could not do anything, in the end, regardless of how much they struggle, they still failed, and it was a terrible one. 

However, if she would fall, at least she would bring the enemy with her!

Ma w.a.n.g Shu shook her head. She was struggling to stay on her feet and not fall and get knocked out. But she also understood now that Gao Lan Mei would not care who it was in front of her. She would attack anyone! 

It was just like what happened earlier when Ma w.a.n.g Shu was greatly affected by Gao Lan Mei's succeeding attacks. She thought that it was to help her at first, but it seems to be not the case. 

"Hahaha!" 

Ma w.a.n.g Shu heard the sinister laughter of a woman. She looked where it came from. As expected, it was from Li Huan. 

At this time, Li Huan was laying on the ground and laughing hard across Gao Lan Mei. "What the…"
