"Big Brother, what exactly happened?"
After Divine Pagoda Emperor left, Nie Tong looked over in confusion.
"There's a black shadow within Miss Yaoshuang's soul. I suspect... she has fallen prey to some powerful heart demon!"
Nie Yun voiced his conjecture.
When he had examined her with the Shen Nong Hundred Herbs Scripture earlier, he had spotted the black shadow. Though he had not confirmed it, he had roughly guessed what it was.

"Can it be expelled?"
"This heart demon has already completely fused with her soul. It'll be very difficult to strip away. One careless move could scatter Yaoshuang's soul and leave her beyond recovery!" Nie Yun's expression was grave.
This heart demon had thoroughly fused with her soul and was difficult to separate. Use too little force, and it could not be peeled away; use too much, and her soul could easily scatter.

After pondering for a moment, Nie Yun spoke slowly.
In this situation,
