Zhuo Xue'er slightly furrowed her brows upon hearing the words.

Although somewhat dissatisfied, she didn't dwell on it much.

"Is it urgent?"

"Very urgent."

"Then let's meet at my residence later, and the others as well. I won't hide it from you - this mission is extremely dangerous, even I am not sure if I can make it back alive. If you have things to do, do them now. Once we start the mission, there won't be another chance."

Upon hearing this, everyone quickly realized the danger of the mission and started excusing themselves.

"Lord Zhuo Xue'er, I might need to go home."

"Lord Zhuo Xue'er, I need to prepare some things..."

After a while, only a few people remained by Zhuo Xue'er's side, including Long Zehui, who seemed to need nothing prepared.

Or rather, this group of people had already prepared before coming.

And Fang Yu had naturally left early.

With a grand gesture from Zhuo Xue'er, she led the team towards her residence.

...

Tranquil Mind Tower.

"Roar!!!"

The furious roar echoed throughout the entire room, touching the invisible barrier before dissipating into silence.

Twelve iron chains not only imprisoned the limbs and neck of the Iron-eating Demon, but also all seven of its tails, keeping it immobile.

All the Iron-eating Demon could do was roar, but even then,

Several Hall Masters were nearby, suppressing the awakened Iron-eating Demon.

In a corner, there was Doctor Han, Doctor Ma, and Bone Doctor, all of whom seemed frightened by the sudden awakening of the Iron-eating Demon.

"Lord Hall Master! Wu Hall Master, please don't eat us!"

"Help! Lord Hall Masters, help! Wu Hall Master has gone mad!"

The Divine Doctors shouted for help, but it didn't solve the problem.

The several Hall Masters could suppress the Iron-eating Demon but couldn't restore its sanity.

"Where is Ding Hui! Where is Ding Hui!" Ming Hall Master, Ming Tianqi roared.

Doctor Yun and Young Master Jiang timidly lowered their heads.

"Lord Hall Master, Lord Ding Hui has been busy all night and has gone to rest..."

"Go get her! Now!"

Ming Tianqi almost glared as he yelled at the Divine Doctors.

The Divine Doctors scrambled to leave but were stopped by someone.

"Stop! Just one person go get her, the rest stay here in case there's an emergency," Tea Ceremony Hall Master, An Menyi said.

The Divine Doctors exchanged looks, all internally complaining.

They, like Ding Hui, had been busy all night. But unlike Lord Ding Hui, who had real skills and could rest after the work, they were left to handle the minor issues.

They didn't have the privilege to rest and had to keep working until now, resulting in Wu Hall Master waking up without his senses.

Even weakened, this was still the fully demonized Yangshen Hall Master who, with a mere touch, could crush them like ants.

After all, their strength lay in Medical Skill, not in Martial Arts; each person's Martial Arts realm was just average.

"I, I'll go!"

Doctor Yun shakily stood up and hurriedly ran outside.

The other Divine Doctors started to rise to say something, but then the Iron-eating Demon let out another fierce roar, weakening their legs, and they sat down again.

"Given this trend, Wu Hall Master might grow an eighth tail!" Young Master Jiang whispered.

"Seven tails and it's hard to restore the mind; with eight tails, it might completely demonize, and there's no turning back," Doctor Han analyzed.

The other doctors softly nodded in agreement.

The current situation was somewhat hopeless.

Because even if they could save him, it would only be saving a mindless demon; what was the point of keeping such a being alive?

Dark Hall Master, Ye Zhongyu, spoke softly to the other Hall Masters.

"If Wu Lvzhu cannot regain his sanity, we might have to..."

Ming Hall Master, Ming Tianqi, waved his hand.

"We haven't reached that point yet. I believe in Wu Lvzhu; he can definitely overcome the difficulty and recover his sanity."

"Then let's suppress him and seal his movement first!"

"Alright."

The Hall Masters joined forces, and an invisible power immediately pressed down on the body of the Iron-eating Demon.

With a loud thud.

The limbs of the Iron-eating Demon were pressed onto the ground, spreading out in a crucifix position, and the seven tails were also pinned down, unable to move.

Creaking sounds!

The cubical invisible barrier made sounds of unbearable weight, showing signs of breaking.

Invisible airwaves spread around, blowing the doctors' robes and almost blinding them.

"Our combined strength is too great, the barrier can't hold!"

"So what? Without this level of power, how can we suppress..."

With a thud!

The suppressed Iron-eating Demon suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Hall Masters looked startled and quickly retracted their power.

We can't have just saved him, only to kill him again...

And right then, the Iron-eating Demon surprisingly spoke human words.

"Am I... still alive?"

Although weak, it was unmistakably... Wu Lvzhu's voice!!

Everyone was instantly shocked!

What's happening?!

Looking at the Iron-eating Demon again, its eyes had cleared from muddiness to clarity, and its fierce expression had turned blank.

The Hall Masters were overjoyed and quickly retracted their power.

The overwhelming suppressive force disappeared in an instant.

The nearby Divine Doctors breathed heavily as if they had just walked through Ghost Gate.

While the Hall Masters already surrounded the Iron-eating Demon.

"Wu Lvzhu?! Is that you?"

"Wu Lvzhu, you managed to regain consciousness! I knew I was right about you!"

"Hahahaha! It's all fine as long as he's alright, I thought just now..."

Tea Ceremony Hall Master, An Menyi, left his sentence unfinished.
