Chaos reigned all around. Even though the Yunlan Merchant Guild immediately sent people out to intervene, they could not possibly calm the agitated crowd anytime soon.
Seeing this, Xue Fuyao slipped away amid the chaos.
After she returned to her lodgings, Shadow Three, Shadow Eleven, and Ying Ershier came to see her.
"Your Highness, these are the Sealing Stones we bought this time."
The three placed all the Sealing Stones they had purchased before her.
Xue Fuyao took more than half of them, then used the Heavenly Eye to remove the seals on the surfaces of the rest. "Take these to forge weapons or exchange for cultivation resources."
The three did not decline and accepted the pile of rare ores.
They knew Her Highness wanted revenge, and knew all the more that their current strength could do nothing against her enemy. They had to grow stronger and improve their own strength so that one day, they could help Her Highness take revenge.
After seeing the three off, Xue Fuyao shut the doors and windows and even laid a formation outside.
Only after finishing all this did she begin checking the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet.
Inside the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet, the Sealing Stone's seal had already been broken, and the ancient corpse was fully exposed. Yet its eyes remained closed, with no sign of awakening.
From time to time, black matter flew out of the ancient corpse's body and merged into the space within the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet.
Xue Fuyao did not know exactly what this black matter was, but she could clearly sense that it greatly benefited the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet.
As the Demon-Suppressing Bracelet continued absorbing it, the ancient corpse's body gradually began to disappear, though it did not vanish entirely.
Red beads dropped one after another from the ancient corpse's vanishing body.
