"I know you have no ill intentions towards me, but you are an enforcer of the Suspended Holy Mother, how can I easily let you go?"

At this moment, Heartless Demon Saint coldly responded.

Following that, Duan Gujin heard the telepathic message from Heartless Demon Saint.

After listening, Duan Gujin exhaled a breath.

"This Heartless Demon Saint actually only retains some memories, but he is still very cunning!"

It turned out that previously, Heartless Demon Saint had secretly told him through telepathy that he would personally deal with that middle-aged Female Demon, and asked Duan Gujin to watch her escape routes to prevent her from fleeing.

"You allow me to deal with her! If she cooperates with me, I'll let her go! If she refuses, I'll eliminate her immediately!"

"It seems I don't need to worry about everything for Heartless Demon Saint!"

He believed that with the capabilities of Heartless Demon Saint, he could completely handle these matters.

"It seems this Heartless Demon Saint's intelligence really isn't low!"

"You've been quite decent to me, rest assured, I won't kill you, my earlier attack was a mistake, I apologize to you! We can be friends, friend, I want to know your connection with the Suspended Holy Mother, why would the Suspended Holy Mother send you to look after me?"

Residual Soul asked.

Hearing Residual Soul's question, Duan Gujin suddenly felt that Residual Soul was indeed cunning.

"Suspended Holy Mother and we are from the same clan, we are a branch of the Suspended Holy Mother!"

The middle-aged Female Demon answered.

"Why does Suspended Holy Mother want you to be responsible for looking after me?"

Residual Soul asked.

"I don't know about that, you'll have to ask the Suspended Holy Mother yourself, I can only tell you my guess, perhaps she did this because she didn't want you to go and settle accounts with her!"

"If I leave here, will the Suspended Holy Mother know about it?"

The middle-aged Female Demon's eyes flickered, and she answered, "I don't know about that! The Suspended Holy Mother didn't tell me."

"Oh, then how did you sense me?"

Residual Soul asked.

"It's with this Bone Token in my hand!"

The middle-aged Female Demon took out a Bone Token crafted from some unknown bone material from her bosom, then spoke to Residual Soul.

"Can you let me examine it?"

Duan Gujin immediately inquired tentatively.

"No, you can talk about that later when you get a chance to meet with the Suspended Holy Mother. If you can't find the Suspended Holy Mother for now, then it's best for Heartless Demon Saint to stay here, of course, you can rest assured, I will not do anything to interfere with your stay here!"

The middle-aged Female Demon said.

"Has the Suspended Holy Mother met with you again since she left?"

Duan Gujin probed again.

"No!"

The middle-aged Female Demon did not realize how important Duan Gujin's probe was, and she directly shook her head in response.

Duan Gujin sighed in relief, although he did not know much about the true power of the Suspended Holy Mother, from the clues now provided by the middle-aged Female Demon, he could deduce that the Sealing on Heartless Demon Saint's body could only be sensed by the Bone Token in the middle-aged Female Demon's hands.

Suspended Holy Mother, far away on Xuankong Mountain, should not be able to sense it, after all, Hundred Saints Mountain and Xuankong Mountain were worlds apart.

Seeing the Bone Token in the hands of the middle-aged Female Demon, Duan Gujin guessed that the Suspended Holy Mother on Xuankong Mountain should not likely sense any issues arising with Heartless Demon Saint.

Thus, he immediately secretly transmitted a message to Heartless Demon Saint.

"Heartless Demon Saint, I tell you, the Suspended Holy Mother should not know what's happening here!"

"Good, I know what to do now! You help me stop her! Don't let her get away!"

Heartless Demon Saint answered.

Hearing Heartless Demon Saint's response, Duan Gujin immediately understood.

He was also very clear in his mind, they could not simply scare the middle-aged Female Demon away with a few words.

What if, the middle-aged Female Demon was simply placating them because she saw him injured.

Rather than entrusting his life to the whim of another, it's better to rely on oneself.

"My friend, we demons should support and love each other, we should be friendly!"

Heartless Demon Saint said nonchalantly.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

The middle-aged Female Demon responded as such, but her mind was elsewhere.

"If it weren't for my injury today, I would have torn you two to pieces!"

She thought to herself, feeling that she should find a way to inform the Suspended Holy Mother about what happened here after she returns.

"Suspended Holy Mother hasn't returned for many years! I want to use this opportunity to have her come back for a while!"

Thinking that she could see the Suspended Holy Mother again, the middle-aged female demon felt very delighted.

"Are the wounds on your body okay?"

As she was immersed in her thoughts, suddenly, she heard a rapid breaking sound through the void.

Although she didn't know what that rapid breaking sound was, she instinctively judged that it was targeted at her.

"Not good!"

This thought flashed through her mind immediately, and her body swiftly moved to the side to dodge, trying to avoid the rapid breaking sound, guessing that it might be Hidden Weapons attacking her.

However, the next moment, her body was sent flying again.

Duan Gujin focused and saw Heartless Demon Saint, holding a small dagger, directly stabbing towards the middle-aged female demon.

"Where did he get that dagger?"

Duan Gujin recalled and felt it very likely that during a previous visit to his old treasure vault with Heartless Demon Saint, he secretly hid a dagger.

After all, that treasure vault used to belong to Heartless Demon Saint, and only he knew where those treasures were hidden.

"Ah!"

The middle-aged female demon let out a shrill scream, her body rapidly retreating backward.

At the same time, she tightly covered her lower abdomen.

Blood was profusely flowing out of her lower abdomen, her eyes filled with fear and confusion; she really did not understand why Heartless Demon Saint, who was previously speaking well with her and seemingly about to strike a deal, abruptly betrayed her. This was completely beyond her imagination.

"Why do you want to kill me?"

The middle-aged female demon asked, trembling.

"You and the Suspended Holy Mother are ultimately from the same clan, in a real situation, you would definitely inform the Suspended Holy Mother first, do you think I could trust you?"

Heartless Demon Saint coldly replied.

"So that's the case!"

The middle-aged female demon then realized she had been too careless; she completely forgot the irreconcilable enmity between the Suspended Holy Mother and Heartless Demon Saint.

Duan Gujin, observing Heartless Demon Saint's actions, guessed that his hatred for the Suspended Holy Mother must be intense.

The middle-aged female demon's body fell to the ground, convulsed a few times, and then she lost her Life Aura.

The strike from Heartless Demon Saint had completely pierced her heart.

"Heartless Demon Saint, you better stay here honestly for now, do not go anywhere for the time being! I think the Suspended Holy Mother won't discover so soon that you have escaped her control!"

Duan Gujin said.

"Yes! I had guessed just now that the Suspended Holy Mother had left me in her charge, I had to kill her so I wouldn't have to worry about the Suspended Holy Mother coming here immediately! Did that scare you?"

Heartless Demon Saint asked.

"Not at all, I can understand your thoughts! Your current strength is really weak, you are no match for the Suspended Holy Mother, even if you recover to your former Peak State, you are very clear inside that you still wouldn't be her match! Only if your Cultivation progresses further than before, you might have a chance to defeat the Suspended Holy Mother!"

Duan Gujin analyzed.

"Yes! Yes!"

Heartless Demon Saint nodded vigorously.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed; he thought that Heartless Demon Saint might not indeed trust him much, but now he also had no other choice.

Duan Gujin was very pleased with this outcome.

Only if Heartless Demon Saint relies on him could he advance further, and his future Cultivation could potentially overcome the Suspended Holy Mother.

At least, Duan Gujin gave Heartless Demon Saint a glimmer of hope!

Duan Gujin immediately checked the body of the deceased middle-aged female demon, to his disappointment, he did not find any useful information.

"Do you want to destroy this Bone Token, or keep it?"

Duan Gujin picked up the Bone Token that had rolled to the ground and said to Heartless Demon Saint.

"Take a look, if destroying it is useful to me, then help me destroy it!"

Residual Soul said.

"Alright!"

Duan Gujin's Divine Sense inspected the Bone Token, after checking for a while, and then he checked Heartless Demon Saint's body.

After some analysis, he ultimately concluded that he should destroy the Bone Token.

Thus, he hurriedly used a Longsword found in the treasure vault, and with one strike, split the Bone Token into two.

With a loud bang, the Array inside Residual Soul's lower abdomen was destroyed along with it.
