Murong Xue and Feng Ziling followed the compass and moved carefully towards the cliff. They saw nigrescent remains of spirit beasts and humans on the way. Thanks to the gas masks, they did not suffer from the bad smell.

Everything seemed to be normal except the creepy devil's qi.

The two held hands all the time, and Murong Xue could feel her moist palms. They did this because she was able to bring Feng Ziling into the Space in time if any accident happened.

Murong Xue asked, "Is it okay that we came here without telling ZiLing beforehand?"

"She would have followed us here if we had told her. We will go back anyway, so it's better not to tell her." Feng Ziling knew his sister well, so he was sure that she would have insisted on coming here with them if she had known about it.

Murong Xue warned, "Watch out. We'll arrive at the cliff very soon."

The deeper they went into the forest, the denser devil's qi became. Murong Xue did not know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the spiritual power inside her body became stronger and stronger and that something on the cliff was calling her.

"Wait a minute…" Feng Ziling stopped Mu Tian.

"What's wrong?" Murong Xue doubted.

Feng Ziling saw the changes in Mu Tian, eyes wide open. At this moment, crystal light sparkled around Mu Tian and the purple hair appeared to be more dazzling in the dark forest. Now Mu Tian was shining and looked sacred.

"You are beautiful..." Feng Ziling murmured.

Murong Xue paused for a moment and looked down to watch the light that shone brightly from herself. "It's not a compliment to say a man is beautiful."

Feng Ziling did not realize what he said until now. He avoided Mu Tian's eyes and answered, "Don't you find it strange and wonder why you are like this?"

Murong Xue only found devil's qi very comfortable and she felt that her spiritual power seemed to be increasing. She wondered if devil's qi was good for her. "Maybe my body has changed because of devil's qi. I find it very comfortable…"

Feng Ziling asked nervously, "How is it possible? Are you a devilman now?" He knew that Mu Tian was half-human and half-devil, but a half-human was still a human to some extent. If Mu Tian became a devilman, Feng Ziling did not know what to do.

Murong Xue was not worried about it. She had changed and she was unable to change it back, so she just accepted the fact. "What's wrong? If I became a devilman, we are not friends anymore?" If Feng Ziling thought so, Murong Xu would respect him despite her sadness.

Feng Ziling explained hurriedly, "I didn't mean that. I'm worried that I'm getting away from you. If we can't see each other, I'll miss you, as a friend." Mu Tian was more than a friend to him, but he did not want to ruin their current peaceful relationship.

"You are always my friend. No one knows what will happen in the future, so let's focus on the present. We are almost at the cliff now. Let's go over there and take a look."

Murong Xue was unable to predict the future and she did not want to think about it, either. She just wanted to improve her level and reunite with her parents as soon as possible, which was her heart's desire now.

Feng Ziling calmed down and answered, "Okay, let's go." No matter what happened in the future, he would follow Mu Tian anywhere.

Things at the bottom of the cliff did not change much. It just got spookier. Devil's qi kept coming from under the unfathomable cliff, which pointed out the obvious problem.

Murong Xue asked, "What now? Should we go down there?"

"Or we could go back to tell others about this? Long Ming told us not to act on our own." They made a promise before coming here.

However, Murong Xue was reluctant to waste time and she could feel that something under the cliff was calling her. "How about you returning to inform them and me going down there first?" They did not see any dangerous things on the way here, so she guessed that people were missing only because of devil's qi rather than unexpected attacks. She believed that the real dangerous place was under the cliff, so she was confident to let Feng Ziling go back alone.

"No. If you are going to go down there, I'll go with you." He did not want to leave Mu Tian alone in a dangerous place.

Murong Xue got excited and could not wait to go down there. She tried to calm herself down and she knew something was wrong with the increasingly strong urge inside her. "We need to let them know what is going on here. The whole continent is waiting. Trust me. I feel there is something I want under the cliff."

Feng Ziling asked in doubt, "Something you want? What do you mean?"

"I could feel the treasure under there that can help me achieve higher levels probably because I'm half-devil now. I don't want to wait. I want to go down there now."

"No, no matter what you say, I won't let you go down there alone." Feng Ziling changed his face and dragged Murong Xue to walk.

Murong Xue shook his hand away and returned to the cliff. "See you." She was going to jump and fall to the bottom.

But Feng Ziling seized her around the waist and stepped back.

"Let me go. Let me go. I want to go down there." Murong Xue kept struggling and even used her spiritual power. The gas mask she wore covered the purple light shining from her black eyes.

Feng Ziling's arms were clamped tightly around Murong Xue no matter how hard her spiritual power attacked him. When he managed to keep a distance from the cliff, Murong Xue gradually calmed down.

"What's wrong with me?" Murong Xue looked at her hands in disbelief. She could not believe that she hurt Feng Ziling.

"You seemed to be possessed." Feng Ziling saw that Mu Tian came back to normal and withdrew his arms. Then he spat blood.

Mu Tian had no mercy when he was attacking Feng Ziling just now.

Feng Ziling fell to his knees. Murong Xue changed her face and rushed to help him sit up. She asked worriedly, "How do you feel? I'm sorry. I..." She had no idea what had happened to her. She had lost control of herself. She could still feel the strong urge inside her now.

"I'm fine. Just external injuries. Don't worry. Let's leave here now." Feng Ziling rose up and held Mu Tian's hand, starting for the formation barrier.

He decided that he would never let Mu Tian come near the cliff again. He had a bad feeling that everything would be out of control if Mu Tian went to the cliff.

"Okay." Murong Xue looked back at the cliff while she kept walking. She came to her senses now, but she still wanted to go there.

Feng Ziling did not miss the look on Mu Tian's face. Seeing his expression, Feng Ziling sped up.

Feng Ziling said, "Don't go there anymore."

Murong Xue paused for a while. "No, I have to go there."

"You looked like a different person just now. You know what? You were almost possessed by the devil." This was the first time that Feng Ziling had shouted at Mu Tian.

Murong Xue tried to say something, but she failed. She had no idea why she had changed, but she knew there must be something unusual under the cliff. Whether it was good or not, she was determined to go there again. Besides, she guessed that Lan Zun might also be there.

But looking at Feng Ziling's angry face, Murong Xue felt guilty that she had gone mad and hurt him. More importantly, she understood that he was just worried about her.

They followed the compass and arrived at the periphery of the Death Forest very quickly. When they got out of the formation barrier, they saw Long Ming and the others still waiting for them.

"You are back." Long Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Murong Xue and Feng Ziling.

Then he saw Feng Ziling's pale face and asked worriedly, "You are injured? Go back quickly to get your treatment."

Feng Ziling shook his head. "It's okay. What about the other team? Are they back?"

"The other team came back a long time ago. They took a long walk and found nothing, but what they saw was the same as what you had told us last time you came out. It's lucky that they had a compass with them. Did you find anything in there?"

This operation was much more successful than the previous one. At least, everyone left and came back in one piece, which meant that the gas masks worked.

"Let's talk on the go," Feng Ziling answered. Mu Tian stood aside and still looked distracted, so Feng Ziling dragged him to walk.

Feng Ziling explained, "There is a cliff in the forest, and devil's qi keeps coming from under the cliff. We didn't go down the cliff. We want to tell you about this first."

"A cliff?"

"Yes, we can't see anything under the cliff. It seems bottomless and it's very gloomy."

"It seems that we have to go down the cliff to solve the problem," Long Ming said after thinking for a while. "You two must be tired. Go back and take a rest for a couple of days. Let us handle it from here. We'll go in there tomorrow."

Murong Xue suddenly recovered from the trance and said, "I'm going with you."
