The black-robed man's response to Ji Mingyao was to take advantage of her distraction to twitch his staff and hit her injured shoulder.
Ji Mingyao groaned and fell to his knees. The wound that had just been stopped began to ooze blood again.
She forced herself to stand up, but after several attempts she was unable to do so and collapsed on the ground.
Seeing her like this, the man in black robe stopped the fire snake from attacking Agu.
"You are at the end of your rope, why are you still holding on like this? As long as you tell me the secret of the mountain spirit, I will never embarrass you."
The man in black robe wanted to kill them all, but the secret of the mountain spirit was related to bigger things, so he still had a clear priority.
Ji Mingyao coughed and laughed, then his hand shook and the long knife fell to the ground.
There was gray despair in her eyes, as if she had resigned to her fate.
"It's not impossible for me to tell you the secret of the mountain spirit, but you have to answer me a question first."
She took out the bottle of cursed liquid from her arms, raised her hand and threw it at the feet of the man in black robe.
"What is the curse liquid?"
The man in black robe was not afraid that this was Ji Mingyao's conspiracy, so he bent down and picked up the bottle.
He looked carefully and saw the mark on the bottom of the bottle, making a guess.
When we were conducting experiments, a lot of these things were leaked out, so it was not surprising that Ji Mingyao could get them.
"It's just a failed product that was refined back then."
He crushed the bottle with his bare hands and had no intention of answering Ji Mingyao's question.
"If you want to ask about the secret exchange between mountain spirits, I can't tell you."
Just as Ji Mingyao was waiting for an answer, the man in black robe suddenly took action.
Several black mist controlled Ji Mingyao, half hanging in the air.
"Since you are unwilling to give an honest explanation, then I will take out your soul and find the answer I want."
Ji Mingyao struggled in the air, "You are despicable!"
The man in black robe snorted coldly, tightened the black mist, and was about to use the soul-searching technique to attack Ji Mingyao's soul.
Ji Mingyao's eyes flashed, and he suddenly disappeared in the air, reappearing behind the black-robed man.
A chill ran down the man's back. Just as he was about to turn around, he felt a pain in his abdomen. He looked down and saw a bloody hand passing through his abdomen, and Ji Mingyao's voice came to his ears.
"This is what you did to the throne, and I will give it back in full."
The black-robed man's eyes narrowed slightly, and Ji Mingyao pulled away without waiting for his reaction.
The fire snake roared and surrounded the black-robed man to protect him.
Ji Mingyao stared at the fire snake fiercely and sneered: "You are a beast and you still want to protect him! I will send you to die together."
After saying that, she quickly formed seals with her hands, and saw a huge formation emerging under their feet.
The complicated formation contained the power of heaven and earth, making everyone in the formation tremble all over.
"Eight Directions Curse Solution!"
After a low drink, the formation glowed brightly.
The fire snake roared in the formation and split into pieces in the light.
The man in black robe covered his abdomen and stared directly at Ji Mingyao through the light of the formation.
He knew that he was doomed today.
"We will meet again."
As soon as he finished speaking, the man in black robe disappeared from the formation like a fiery snake, leaving only an empty black robe falling to the ground.
Ji Mingyao controlled the formation and persisted for a while before kneeling to the ground.
She was breathing heavily. Even though she killed the man in black robe and the fire snake, it was inevitable that she had not come up with the 'curse liquid' after acting for so long.
"ah!"
Ji Mingyao suppressed her emotions and felt uncomfortable. After shouting to the sky to vent her anger, she calmed down a little.
She cleaned up, carried the unconscious Agu, and returned to the cave where Lu Xingyan was placed.
