She saw Ming Zhuo's figure descend like a god, his invisible sword energy surging, shattering the piece of white bone into dust.

She saw that the mandarin duck daggers had also broken in two.

She also saw Wen Shaoan rush over; if Ming Zhuo hadn't sheathed his sword in time, Wen Shaoan would probably have been cleaved in two.

However, the sword energy that followed still managed to cut Wen Shaoan's face, causing it to bleed profusely.

Even after the sword's momentum subsided slightly, it still cleaved the shrine into pieces.

Lily of the Valley was terrified and tripped, tumbling down behind the shrine.

Wen Shaoan was already seriously injured, and now he felt his blood surging, vomiting a mouthful of blood, and was barely breathing.

Without hesitation, he took out a porcelain bottle and prepared to drink its contents.

This is the mother Gu of the Poisonous Human Gu. He had long ago made up his mind to die for his beloved.

However, the power of the mother Gu is extraordinary; none of the people in this room will survive.

As for himself, as long as Linglan escapes, he will definitely try his best to keep his soul and refine him into a ghost servant so that he can stay by his lover's side.

Unfortunately, once he ingested the Poisonous Human Gu, his blood would become extremely poisonous, and his flesh and bones would rot into a pool of blood. He would then never have a body again.

Wen Shaoan made his decision without giving anyone time to react, exploiting a time difference.

He thought no one would notice his movements, but unexpectedly a whip lashed out. He was startled, thinking it was Lily of the Valley's whip.

But in that instant, the porcelain vase changed hands and fell into Mingzhuo's hands.

"The mother Gu of the Poisonous Human Gu." Ming Zhuo was somewhat surprised. "You want to self-destruct and take us all with you?"

Wen Shaoan was unaware that Linglan's whip had ended up in Mingzhuo's hands. Seeing that the plan had failed, he felt somewhat regretful.

"It's a pity you saw through us, otherwise, with so many of us dying together, we'd have company on the road to the underworld."

Xie Xiao was terrified; she never imagined that this refined man would have such a vicious mind.

"Are you crazy?!"

Wen Shaoan: "I'm sorry, but I just want to help Linglan clear the obstacles."

Gu Xu stared at Ming Zhuo, "Your hand..."

"Oh, it's nothing, just a little blood, it's all healed now." Mingzhuo held out his palm, the burn on his hand had already healed.

Gu Xu had heard He Wangyao talk about the power of the Poisonous Human Gu. Since Wen Shaoan dared to do this, it meant that Linglan had already escaped.

Sure enough, when he went behind the shrine, he found it empty. "That woman has escaped."

Mingzhuo gave Wen Shaoan a meaningful look, "You really are deeply in love with Yuan Qingwan."

Wen Shaoan, who had already closed his eyes, said angrily upon hearing this, "How can you speak so filthy at such a young age?"

Mingzhuo wasn't angry: "Judging from your expression, don't you know that Linglan is Yuan Qingwan?"

Wen Shaoan: "Yuan Qingwan is Linglan's biological mother! Don't talk nonsense and slander our relationship! Your aunt has been dead for many years, and she was killed by your mother!"

Mingzhuo understood. He had thought this person was really that out of touch with the world, but it seemed that wasn't the case.

She specifically asked the Xuanmen to issue the wanted notice; this person couldn't possibly have been unaware of it.

Unfortunately, he was blinded by lust and remains obstinate to this day.

Mingzhuo went behind the shrine and looked around. There was a lift platform there that could take you upstairs. Yuan Qingwan took advantage of that fall to escape.

She glanced up and laughed, "Don't worry, Ah Xu, she can't escape."

As the group prepared to go up, they found an ambush. Several servants with knives stood guard at the entrance to the elevator platform, ready to ambush the people coming up.

Mingzhuo had already sensed the ambush above. She lashed out with her whip, first seizing the weapons from the men's hands, then leaping forward and kicking each of them.

The ambush was dealt with in one fell swoop.

Mingzhuo glanced around the living room. The first few people were kicked out, and the rest of them hesitated.

Too lazy to waste words, she lashed out with her whip, binding the person into a bundle.

"Alright, now you can tell me where that woman ran off to, right?"

No one was willing to answer.

"Forget about it, we won't betray the young lady." Someone said with a look of grim determination.

Mingzhuo also admired Yuan Qingwan. This woman seemed to be the head of a fraud gang; her brainwashing skills were top-notch, and she was quite a talent.

She took out a puppet and threw out several Yin-gathering talismans. Instantly, waves of Yin energy surged, and the weak ghosts emerged, thanking Mingzhuo.

They had thought they would be doomed to have their souls scattered today, but Mingzhuo chanted a soul-gathering incantation and kept their souls inside the puppet.

Although there are powerful beings among the puppets that they fear, what do these things matter as long as they can survive?

These ghosts were all Yuan Qingwan's ghost servants. After sensing them for a moment, they drifted away.

Although the houses here are all detached villas, it is not a mature villa area. Just a few steps away, across a bridge, are rural self-built houses.

The ghosts lingered in front of a house. Mingzhuo went inside and pulled out the woman who was hiding in the corner.

"Lily of the valley?" Wen Shaoan was stunned, still unable to believe it.

But the woman was wearing the same black gauze dress that Linglan had worn today. Who else could it be but Linglan?

Whether it was a backlash or not, she was aging rapidly. As she spoke, her hair visibly turned from gray to completely white.

The eyebrows and eyes were still the same, but the face looked aged to be in one's sixties or seventies.

Wen Shaoan looked like he was about to collapse: "So you really are Yuan Qingwan!"
