Yilan had no intention of explaining. She glanced at Ziguang with a hint of disdain, then shifted her position to move further away from him.
At this point, Ziguang understood everything.
But it was already too late.
Countless white parasitic worms burst out from his seven orifices, and in an instant,
Ziguang!
His soul was utterly annihilated!
Even the white parasitic worms vanished into thin air in a flash.
The spot where Ziguang had stood was now empty, leaving no trace behind.
With Ziguang dead,
Yilan and Roushan no longer had any reservations about speaking.
She offered a fawning expression to Roushan and the little girl: "My lords, Ziguang is dead. Now there's only that newcomer left. That newcomer... probably won't last much longer."
As she spoke, Yilan looked in Li Shuang's direction.
She frowned slightly.
Currently,
A biting cold emanated from Li Shuang's side. Her face and body were covered in layers of frost; she had become an ice person.
By all accounts,
She should have succumbed to such cold long ago.
Unexpectedly,
This Li's life force had not yet dissipated.
However,
Yilan's frown quickly relaxed, and she said with a smile, "That Li has an ice-attributed spirit root, and this Cold Soul Ice also happens to be ice-attributed. That's why she's lasted longer than expected. But that's all it is. Her life force is now extremely weak; I'm afraid it won't be long before her soul shatters into ice shards."
Li Shuang sat cross-legged, her chest barely rising and falling, her breathing extremely light and shallow, indeed looking like she didn't have long to live.
"You, go take a look." The little girl glanced at Yilan and gave the order without hesitation.
Yilan's expression changed slightly, but she dared not harbor any thoughts of defiance.
This time, the dish she had consumed was also incredibly toxic. Although she had made some preparations, in such a short time, she naturally hadn't been able to completely suppress the toxicity.
In her own mind, she would naturally focus on suppressing the poison, and let that Li just wait for her own demise.
But the little girl had spoken...
She had no choice.
This little girl's identity was...
She was someone Yilan absolutely could not defy!
Yilan gritted her teeth and walked with some difficulty towards Li Shuang.
However, as soon as she got within ten meters of Li Shuang,
A bone-chilling cold swept over her. Yilan felt as if thousands of ice shards were piercing her body. She uncontrollably fell to her knees, unable to move an inch forward.
"Interesting," the little girl slowly stood up.
She also tried to approach Li Shuang. She fared better than Yilan, able to get closer, but she could only reach within five meters of Li Shuang before she couldn't advance any further.
"My lord, what... what's going on!" Yilan couldn't help but ask.
The little girl glanced at her, and her childish voice spoke with an old-fashioned tone: "Are you questioning me?"
Yilan's heart jolted, and she quickly kowtowed: "My lord, spare my life, Yilan absolutely did not mean that."
The little girl snorted coldly and said expressionlessly, "Just wait. Whatever is going on with this Li, isn't there still the eighth dish?"
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
One main dish.
One cup of wine.
Five side dishes.
That made a total of seven dishes.
But on the table, from the very beginning, there had been eight dishes.
Next...
There was still the last dish!
"If this Li dies just like this, then so be it. If she survives, we absolutely cannot let her leave alive," Roushan said in a deep voice. "What happened between Yilan and me must never get out."
He and Yilan were not only cooperating in the Gluttony Hell.
Yilan, as a talented disciple of an orthodox sect, had been deeply undercover for years, providing them, the demonic path, with a lot of important information.
Such a useful pawn naturally needed to remain hidden.
That Ziguang was a fool; he had been completely controlled by Yilan. If he had miraculously survived, Yilan would have had many ways to continue controlling him.
But this Li was different.
Although she was a newcomer, she possessed various peculiarities. The safest method was to make her completely disappear in the Gluttony Hell.
"Naturally. We have three people, she only has one." Yilan smiled: "Does she really think she can take on three of us?"
"Just wait," the little girl said expressionlessly, moving away from the frosty area. "Try to restore yourselves to your best condition."
Roushan and Yilan both agreed.
The three of them began to regulate their breathing, and the scene became completely silent.
Li Shuang listened to the commotion outside, her expression also growing slightly cold.
These three were no longer pretending.
Once she emerged from this state, those three would likely attack her immediately.
A Roushan on the genius list, a mysterious little girl, and Yilan, who, though not on the genius list, wasn't far behind.
Could she withstand the combined attack of these three?
Li Shuang calmly looked at the lotus platform in her sea of consciousness.
After her spirit root shattered, it began to regenerate under the nourishment of the green lotus.
However,
This was not enough.
To fully mature the spirit root, it required the assistance of numerous rare treasures.
Otherwise,
She could only stop at the budding stage of the spirit root. To wait for the supreme spirit root to fully mature, she didn't know how many years it would take.
But fortunately!
She was now incredibly wealthy!
The supreme spirit root had already formed; now it was just a matter of accelerating its growth, and the value points required would be much less than before.
Li Shuang calculated.
To fully mature this supreme spirit root, it would probably cost her half of her assets.
One must know,
She currently possessed resources sent by Yan Zhonghe and numerous treasures exchanged with sect contribution points, making her quite a rich woman.
Li Shuang had previously thought that so many resources should last her for quite some time.
However,
When she actually started using them, she realized,
These meager resources were truly not enough!
But.
Was it worth exchanging half of her assets for a supreme spirit root?
It was undoubtedly worth it!
Let alone her.
Even a Tribulation Stage mighty cultivator, knowing there was a way to evolve their spirit root to the supreme realm, would not hesitate, no matter the cost.
Li Shuang took a deep breath and no longer hesitated.
Originally,
She didn't need to be so anxious.
But now,
Those three had shed their masks, and she had to give herself some more leverage.
The transformation to a supreme spirit root was imperative!
"Furnace, accelerate the growth of the supreme spirit root to full maturity," Li Shuang silently commanded.
In an instant,
The contents of Li Shuang's storage bag were absorbed by the furnace.
Once an equivalent value was absorbed, a strange power emanated from the furnace.
The supreme spirit root, which was originally just in its budding state, seemed to receive the nourishment of sweet dew and slowly began to grow.
"Hmm?" The human skin skeleton narrowed its eyes, looking curiously in Li Shuang's direction.
