"Oh my God, what is this?"

Everyone was shocked.

They saw a black magic mark appear on Wang Ying's abdomen.

This magic mark looked like a birthmark.

And that chilling black energy was emanating from this birthmark.

"Yang Tian, what is this?"

At first, Wang Ying didn't pay much attention, until Yang Tian released the Spiritual Breath at her abdomen, she felt a cold sensation.

This coldness surged into her abdomen.

She could feel the fetus inside her kicking continuously.

"Yang Tian, think of a way quickly, the baby is kicking me..."

Wang Ying's face turned pale.

"The baby probably can't withstand this magic mark!"

Yang Tian was extremely anxious.

He probed with his Divine Sense and could clearly feel the cold energy being released from the magic mark, surging into Wang Ying's abdomen. The Demon Embryo had no power to resist it, only kicking Wang Ying's abdomen desperately.

Swish!

Yang Tian thrust his hand, emitting a burst of Spiritual Breath, rushing into Wang Ying's abdomen, attempting to eradicate the magic mark.

However, Wang Ying let out a cry of pain, "Yang Tian, stop, it won't work!"

Yang Tian withdrew his hand.

He knew well that this was the magic mark imprinted on Wang Ying by the Witch. He still remembered the Witch's icy voice: "What I want, I've never failed to obtain; this Demon Embryo is mine!"

The Witch was so terrifying, who knew what consequences the magic mark might have.

"Big brother, quickly think of a way, I can also feel little brother kicking my sister..."

Wang Yue reached out her hand, touched Wang Ying's abdomen, feeling the unrest of the Demon Embryo, her little face turning ghostly pale.

Yang Tian used his Divine Sense and also felt the unrest of the fetus.

But for the moment, he couldn't think of any way to disperse the magic mark on Wang Ying's abdomen.

"Yang Tian, I have a way..."

Beside them, Wang Lingzhan had been silent all along.

Yet Wang Lingzhan exuded an unexpected calmness, as if the magic mark was no big deal to him.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a blood-red talisman appeared in Wang Lingzhan's hand.

This wasn't an ordinary Spirit Talisman, but a piece of talisman paper painted with many patterns and characters. These looked strange, Yang Tian and the others couldn't understand them, but Yang Tian was sure it was Nuwa's Rune, because one of the patterns was the half-human, half-snake image of Nuwa.

"Protector Wang, what is this?"

Yang Tian noticed Wang Lingzhan's unusual calmness.

Remembering Wang Lingzhan's mysteriousness earlier, Yang Tian felt there was something Wang Lingzhan was hiding from him.

"This is Nuwa Rune, it can remove the magic mark!"

Wang Lingzhan said calmly.

"Really? That's great!"

Wang Yue exclaimed excitedly, urging Yang Tian to use the Nuwa Rune to save Wang Ying and the baby.

Yang Tian received the Nuwa Rune from Wang Lingzhan. A warmth spread through his hands. Although the patterns and characters were strange, when Yang Tian probed with his Divine Sense, he knew how to use the Nuwa Rune.

Whoosh!

The Nuwa Rune was gently pressed against Wang Ying's abdomen.

In no time, the Nuwa Rune transformed into a blood-red gas, flowing into Wang Ying's abdomen.

Before long, the magic mark on Wang Ying's abdomen was removed.

And the Demon Embryo inside her abdomen calmed down at this moment.

"It really works!"

Wang Yue cheered.

Wang Ying breathed a sigh of relief, caressing her abdomen with a touch of maternal tenderness in her eyes. Through all this fleeing, Wang Ying had accepted the Demon Embryo as her child. Though a result of her indulgence with Yang Tian, it was still her child.

Meanwhile, Yang Tian stared intently at Wang Lingzhan.

"Yang Tian, why are you staring at me like this?"

Wang Lingzhan frowned.

"Protector Wang, what are you hiding from us?" Yang Tian said in a deep voice, "The Witch is so desperate to get the Demon Embryo, you told me she considers the Demon Embryo more important than life itself. Now you know how to deal with this magic mark. Protector Wang, what are you hiding from us?"

Hearing this, Wang Ying, Wang Yue, and Ling Ying all turned to look at Wang Lingzhan.

"Taigong, why do you know everything so clearly? Do you have something to tell us?"

Wang Yue looked intently at Wang Lingzhan.

Wang Lingzhan remained silent, finally letting out a sigh and said, "There's no harm in telling you. In fact, the Witch died thirty years ago because she practiced the Demonic Technique!"

"What?"

Wang Ying, Wang Yue, and Ling Ying were all shocked.

Such a terrifying existence like the Witch actually died because of practicing the Demonic Technique?

"Protector Wang, please continue!"

Yang Tian tried to calm himself down.

But he was still very surprised: The Witch also practiced the Demonic Technique? Even such a terrifying existence as her couldn't successfully cultivate the Demonic Technique? Instead, thirty years ago, it caused her death?

"More than thirty years ago, I was fortunate to discover the Demonic Technique, realizing it was the most evil Cultivation Technique in the world. I practiced the Demonic Technique to counteract the Wang Family Ancestral Curse on me!"

"However, once I practiced the Demonic Technique, I couldn't extricate myself and had to escape into the Dark Land."

"At that time, the Witch wasn't a witch yet, she was Nuwa's Inheritor, cultivating in the Ninefold Heaven, hoping that one day she could achieve Ascension to Immortality."

"When she discovered the Demonic Technique, she became extremely passionate, making me her dog and having me teach her the Demonic Technique. She was very smart, achieving ninety percent mastery in just half a month. But the Demonic Technique's evilness was beyond her ability to resist. Consequently, thirty years ago, she lost control of her powers, and her body died. She could only condense her soul into a fox."

Wang Lingzhan said with a heavy expression.

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

Why Wang Lingzhan was here.

Why the Witch condensed her soul into a fox.

Why the Witch suddenly died thirty years ago.

It turned out all of this was because of the Demonic Technique.

"Protector Wang, are you saying this Demonic Technique could allow the Witch to achieve Ascension to Immortality?"

Yang Tian asked the critical question.

"That's right, if the Witch managed to fully master the Demonic Technique, she could achieve Ascension to Immortality!" Wang Lingzhan nodded: "In fact, the Witch was originally cultivating the Nuwa Technique, which is a Divine Technique! And Yang Tian, what you obtained in the Witch Hall is just a small part of the Nuwa Divine Technique; the real Nuwa Divine Technique exists only with the Witch!"

"The Witch had been here for over two thousand years, hoping to leverage the power of the Nuwa Divine Technique to achieve Ascension to Immortality."

"But she discovered it wasn't possible!"

"However, if she could successfully cultivate both the Nuwa Divine Technique and the Demonic Technique together, she would become the King of Divine Demon, thus enabling her to achieve Ascension to Immortality!"

Hearing this, everyone, including Yang Tian, was astonished...
