Ye Yu and Heng Xuanzhen exchanged a brief glance.
But to avoid arousing suspicion, both withdrew their gazes at the same time.
At this moment, each was pondering how to eliminate the other’s inner demon.
That very night, Ye Yu did not speak of longing with Li Ruowang and Yinghuo. Instead, he sought out Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin.
He asked about the previous matter of eradicating inner demons.
The last time they destroyed the inner demons within those two, the process had been fraught with difficulty.
First, they suppressed the inner demons’ ferocity with the might of Thunderfall Mountain.
Then they activated the Heaven-Swapping Grand Array, offered divine talismans in sacrifice, and used the power of his own divine soul to slay their inner demons within another space.
Such a method demanded extremely high conditions in both environment and strength.
A single misstep would not only fail to remove the inner demon but would also result in the divine soul being utterly annihilated.
Unless absolutely necessary, Ye Yu truly did not wish to do that again.
Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin were both puzzled.
Why suddenly bring up inner demons?
Ye Yu immediately explained that Heng Xuanzhen harbored an inner demon within her.
At first, Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin could hardly believe it.
Heng Xuanzhen appeared perfectly fine, completely unlike someone entangled by an inner demon.
There was not even a trace of violent aura about her.
How could that be?
Ye Yu said that Heng Xuanzhen’s inner demon was deeply concealed. Under normal circumstances, no abnormalities could be detected at all.
But he was certain that it existed.
On this point, he could guarantee it.
A well-disguised, latent danger was the most fatal of all.
Originally, Ye Yu had intended to eliminate Heng Xuanzhen’s inner demon outside before returning to the Ye Residence.
But too many things had happened afterward, and with Han Yuexi’s appearance, he had no choice but to bring Heng Xuanzhen back.
Now that he saw how quickly she had blended in with the other Dao companions, unease only grew in his heart.
The inner demon had to be removed as soon as possible.
That was precisely why he had come so urgently to seek Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin.
After all, they had personally experienced the existence of inner demons.
They should have at least some insight.
After hearing everything, Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin’s expressions turned grave.
Inner demons could never be underestimated.
Moreover, Heng Xuanzhen stood at the peak of the Ancient God Realm, only one step away from the Divine Lord Realm.
With such immense strength, if her body were seized by an inner demon, the devastation it could unleash would far exceed imagination.
This matter could not be taken lightly.
However, after pondering for a long while, neither Bone Ji nor Shen Fuxin could think of any alternative method.
Perhaps they should invite Yu Buxia and Yinghuo to discuss it as well?
After all, they were powerful and had spent long years in the God Realm.
They might know a more effective way to eradicate inner demons.
Ye Yu felt that made sense and summoned Yu Buxia and Yinghuo.
Soon, the two women arrived.
Ye Yu repeated everything once more.
Yu Buxia and Yinghuo reacted just like Bone Ji and Shen Fuxin.
First shock, then silent acceptance.
Then deep contemplation.
But inner demons were a notoriously thorny problem in any realm.
Even Yu Buxia and Yinghuo could not provide a better solution.
Instead, they strongly endorsed Ye Yu’s previous method of combining the Heaven-Swapping Grand Array with talismans.
Of course, the only drawback was that Ye Yu’s current strength was too weak.
If he attempted to confront Heng Xuanzhen’s inner demon with his divine soul now, there would be only one outcome—his soul would be scattered into nothingness.
It would be better for Yinghuo and Yu Buxia to attempt it instead.
After all, they were both Ancient God Realm experts, on equal footing. There was nothing to fear.
Ye Yu immediately rejected the proposal.
Forget it. The risk was too great. He would never allow his Dao companions to wade into such danger.
But if that would not work, and this would not work, then what would?
The five of them stared at one another helplessly.
At that moment, Ye Yu’s communication stone rang.
It was Li Ruowang, asking where he was.
Seeing that everyone was already present, Ye Yu decided not to hide anything and told her to come to Bone Ji’s room.
Soon, Li Ruowang pushed the door open and entered.
Seeing so many people gathered, she froze.
What was this?
A family meeting at night?
However, while the Dao companions were earnestly discussing matters, they did not notice that Heng Xuanzhen was hidden in the shadows.
She saw everything.
Was the inner demon convening its fabricated figures to discuss something collectively?
Were they planning to deal with her?
Not wanting to alert the enemy, Heng Xuanzhen did not dare approach too closely. Combined with the presence of a sound-isolating array, she could not hear what was being discussed and could only make blind guesses.
But she was not afraid.
Since she dared to live in the Ye Residence, she had already prepared herself to face anything.
To be honest, she was curious to see what method this inner demon posing as Ye Yu would ultimately use to conclude things.
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Han Yuexi, who was asleep, suddenly emitted a golden glow from her heart.
It lasted for the time of one incense stick before gradually fading.
She appeared no different from before, yet her aura had quietly changed.
Outside the room,
a small snake slowly approached, its entire body blending perfectly into the night.
It watched Han Yuexi through the window.
In its icy eyes, greed was laid bare.
Just as it was about to enter the room, it suddenly heard Li Ruowang’s call.
"Little Black, Little Black!"
The voice caused the black snake to freeze instantly.
Reluctantly, it cast one final look toward Han Yuexi inside, then turned and left.
In only a few breaths, it had arrived at Li Ruowang’s side.
Upon seeing it, she could not help but sigh softly.
"Don’t run around here. Be careful you don’t get eaten."
Clearly, she was still worried that Little White might get greedy.
But there was more than concern in her voice.
There was disappointment.
She had finally found Ye Yu again.
She had thought tonight might be... exhausting.
Instead, she had somehow become entangled in a family meeting at the Ye Residence.
And unexpectedly learned that Heng Xuanzhen harbored an inner demon.
Of course, this matter had nothing to do with Li Ruowang.
In truth, she had felt no emotional ripple upon hearing it.
When she first met Heng Xuanzhen, she had already sensed something was off.
If it was due to an inner demon, then everything made sense.
But what truly affected her was that because Heng Xuanzhen was entangled by an inner demon, Ye Yu was anxious to help eliminate it.
So he planned to sleep tonight, hoping to gain inspiration through a dream.
Honestly, that decision greatly affected Li Ruowang.
Disappointment nearly spilled from her eyes.
Yet she could not change Ye Yu’s decision.
And thus stood the dejected Li Ruowang, calling for Little Black.
