The handsome fox demon that referred to itself as Master Qing suddenly asked, "Hey, foreigner woman, are you really a Daoist nun from that renowned Daoist Saber Room?"

The middle-aged Daoist nun was seemingly a little amused by this question, and she placed one hand on the hilt of her saber and used one finger to gently flick the lotus flower hat on her head before replying, "Why do you ask? Is someone impersonating me in the Eastern Treasured Vial Continent? If there is, then tell me their name. This can be regarded as a meritorious contribution, so I can agree to give you a quicker and more painless death."

The young man in black who had wreaked havoc in the Lion Garden all by himself clicked his tongue in wonder and remarked, "Tsk, looks like you're genuinely from the Daoist Saber Room. I wonder if I'll be stuffed to death after eating your precious golden core."

The corners of the Daoist nun's mouth curled up into a smile as she remarked, "As expected of the smallest continent in the Majestic World. Whether it's in the mountains or outside the mountains, those who are tangentially related to Qi refiner are all haughty and boastful even though they barely have any power.

"Oh, that's right, my name is Liu Boqi, and I initially came here because those in the Lion Garden also have the surname Liu. After having experienced terrible fortune all the time, I now see that my luck is finally turning for the better. I need to thank you for this, and that's why I'm telling you about all this. That way, a slug demon like you can die without any confusion."

The young man's expression changed drastically, and he was unable to fathom how this detestable woman had seen through his disguise no matter how he racked his brains.

There was one thing that the slug demon was unaware of. The vermilion wine gourd hanging by Chen Ping'an's waist was protected by an illusion technique that could prevent Golden Core Tier earth immortals from observing its true form, yet after Liu Boqi channeled her mystical powers, she was able to see it was a high-quality Sword Nurturing Gourd straight away.

The voice of Liu Boqi was still as calm and emotionless as always as she continued, "And that's why I view that willow tree spirit as nothing more than a blind person. You've entered and exited the Lion Garden so many times, yet she was still unable to see through your disguise and identify your true form. You merely relied on the smell of foxes and a few strands of fox fur, yet she genuinely believed that you were a fox demon. You've successfully misled everyone and caused great harm.

"In fact, the person secretly supporting you in the background and having you cause calamity in the Lion Garden is also as blind as a bat. Otherwise, they would have skinned you alive and taken your coat of fox fur a long time ago, no? After all, what is the downfall of the Liu Clan worth? How can it compare to the value of the items in your belly?"

The slug demon had once announced that it wouldn't be afraid even if it were hunted by a Nascent Tier cultivator, yet at this moment, it was already displaying a rare sense of nervousness.

"Will you let me go if I leave the Lion Garden right now?" it asked.
