The King Snake stormed into the house, leading his team, only to see Xu Xian sitting at the dilapidated desk, his eyes lifeless and his face blank, reading a book.
"Brother Snake, something's wrong with Xu Xian."
One of the team members approached and gave Xu Xian a push, only to see white mist rise as a small puppet talisman drifted onto the desk.
"A Puppet Talisman!"
"It's Li Mu and his gang—we've been tricked!" The team member was shocked.
King Snake's face darkened. "No, it's not Li Mu. It's Bai Suzhen. This is her spell!"
"How can that be? Didn't Bai Suzhen already retreat to the deep mountains?"
"Yes, didn't she make an agreement with Brother Snake…"
"Enough, shut up!"
King Snake shouted angrily, "Bai Suzhen has been wary of us for a long time. She must have been secretly observing us and took Xu Xian away in advance.
Now that Li Mu has joined Bai Suzhen's camp and we've aligned ourselves with Fa Hai's camp, it's too late to say anything."
