"Phoenix Flame · Suppression!"
Without wasting any words, Gu Xiaoqi attacked with her phoenix flames while throwing the Exorcism Talisman. The combination of the two attacks effectively locked down all possible escape routes for the old man.
"Little brat!"
"That won't hurt me!"
"Heh heh!"
The old man faced the phoenix flames with his usual sneering grin, becoming transparent and disappearing just as the attack was about to hit him. Soon, he reappeared in another location.
"Tsk tsk!"
"The smell of this Soul-Nurturing Liquor hasn't changed much. The Dark Palace's craftsmanship is still as good as it was back then!"
"Eh... What's the Dark Palace? Something unsavory seems to come to mind, but never mind, I don't have time to think about it now. That little phoenix is too fierce; escaping is the priority!"
The old man floated in the air, opened the Soul-Nurturing Liquor, and poured it into his mouth. After a sip, he put away the jade bottle and vanished once again.
