The demonic spirit wound threads of demonic thought around the periphery of Yu Ci's spirit and soul, which was the place where emotions surged. At that moment, all of it was frozen together by the Profound Ice Dissolution, leaving not even that single strand of demonic thought exempt, yet after all, a sliver of a connection still remained.
They're both frozen, let's see who breaks free first... My side definitely has the highest chance. If I unlock it a step earlier, four months' time will be enough for the planting of the demon to succeed. Even if it fails, once the ice is lifted, given his frame of mind today, he is bound to grow restless, and I can take advantage of the opening to enter the aperture and seize his body.
This was the optimal plan devised by the demonic spirit, so it temporarily disregarded Yu Ci's end and instead shifted its primary focus to the Heavy Artifact Sect.
Sure enough, a moment later, someone over there responded to Yu Qing Xuan's summons and moved the huge block of ice sealing Yu Ci into a lizard-drawn carriage that had been prepared in advance. Without any delay, Zhu Wenying took over and entered the underground tunnel, heading toward the underground subterranean river ferry thousands of li away.
The demonic spirit stayed put and waited quietly. Estimating that the lizard carriage had driven over a thousand li away, it finally set out, and even took a huge detour to avoid Yu Qing Xuan's perception.
The connection of the demonic thought remained steadfast, and moreover, because it continuously poured in external force, there were already precursors to waking up.
Yet just as it grew closer and closer to the lizard carriage, it suddenly sensed an anomaly.
Time shifted back a few hours.
