Blood winds and rain, Poison Wood Vine, the eerie Ghost Umbrella, and a lament to fate.
These words were widely circulated throughout the Demon Sect. They had come from Poison God himself, so there was no doubt as to their truth.
"Blood winds and rain" referred to the spell phenomenon created when Wu Dayi, He Dazhi, and Zhang Xiaofan joined forces against Poison God. "Poison Wood Vine" referred to Du Bishu. That fellow had used his Tricky Vine to destroy the entire Venom Snake Valley, depriving the Myriad Poison Sect of a natural barrier.
As for the Ghost Umbrella, that referred to Luo Yunji. The Ghost Umbrella's bizarre power left the Myriad Poison Sect's disciples deeply wary and afraid. Even today, neither the righteous nor the demonic side could say for certain whether they had any means of countering a magical treasure that attacked Soul Spirits directly. So when they encountered Luo Yunji's Ghost Umbrella, all they could do was lament that fate had decreed their deaths.
Du Bishu had told the Prince about Luo Yunji's "Soul Separation" affliction. The person in the Imperial Palace immediately issued a reward for Zhou Yixian's whereabouts, offering a hundred taels of gold.
An ordinary family of five spent less than two taels of silver in a whole year. A hundred taels of gold could keep that family of five comfortable for the rest of their lives, with plenty left over for their descendants.
Yet before the reward could even be issued, Zhou Yixian appeared of his own accord at the gates of the Prince's Mansion.
Overjoyed, the Prince welcomed him inside.
"Immortal! What brings you to the Imperial City? We've been looking for you for ages! Where have you been all this time?" The Prince warmly received Zhou Yixian and his granddaughter.
