The young man was stunned into silence when he saw Brother Niu die right in front of him.

This bald monk had such an arrogant attitude that he was furious and thought to himself, "Why should I listen to you!"

But upon seeing the bloodstains on the ground, he quickly calmed down. This was a ruthless killer; there was no need to confront him head-on.

To his surprise, a hand landed on his shoulder, and the compassionate monk's voice rang out, "Do you have a problem with me?"

The young man's heart tightened, and he almost knelt down, his knees buckling. "No, no, how could I dare to have any objections..."

The compassionate monk said, "You can choose not to kill Nguyen Minh Chok, but I will kill you and turn you into fierce corpses to drive you to kill Nguyen Minh Chok."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, everyone thought there was a chance for a turnaround, but upon hearing the second half, they were utterly devastated.

The other party may seem to have given them a choice, but they don't really have a choice at all!

The only difference is whether you go in alive to kill Nguyen Minh Cho, or you go in dead to kill Nguyen Minh Cho.

The young man gritted his teeth. Since that was the case, then of course Ruan Mingzhuo should die. He didn't want to die!

"Master, I am willing to kill Nguyen Minh Cho!"

The compassionate master then released him, saying, "Very well, kill her, and all of you will live."

Having narrowly escaped death, the young man didn't hesitate for a moment. He picked up a knife and rushed into the covered bridge, shouting, "Kill Ruan Mingzhuo!"

With someone taking the lead, and this person being the second boss, the rest of the people also grabbed their weapons and rushed over.

Everyone rushed forward, with only one thought in their minds: don't be left behind alone, because this lecherous monk really will kill!

In comparison, the group inside was much easier to deal with; at least they only dared to make moves, not kill people.

Seeing everyone rushing inside, the compassionate master wore a strange yet smug smile.

Over the decades, he had made numerous plans, all of which were thwarted by Mingzhuo, and he had long harbored resentment towards her.

It was widely rumored in the church that Ruan Mingzhuo was difficult to deal with, but he didn't care. No matter how difficult he was to deal with, he was still a human being, and humans have flaws.

The biggest flaw of those people in the Xuanmen sect is their womanly compassion and self-righteousness.

He simply couldn't believe that with so many ordinary people trapped in the formation, each one wanting nothing more than to kill her, she could escape unscathed.

If she breaks through her psychological defenses and starts killing ordinary people, then she becomes a vicious murderer.

The resentment from Lingquan Temple would seep into her very bones, completely drawing her into his camp.

Either continue to be soft-hearted and be torn to pieces by those bloodthirsty ordinary people.

Thinking about this, he seemed to find it amusing and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

——

The farmhouse was oval-shaped. Mingzhuo circled around for a while before finally finding the kitchen and kicking open the door.

The kitchen staff had long since left, and the kitchen was filled with a peaceful atmosphere.

Two large iron pots were placed on the brick stove, with lids on, but the wood underneath was still burning and steam was rising from the pots.

The aroma of meat permeated the air, seemingly reaching every nook and cranny.

Qiao Song had only been inside for a short while when he realized he was becoming delirious, so he promptly covered his nose and withdrew.

Gu Xu noticed that Du Fenglang's eyes were not right, so he quickly pushed him out as well and closed the door to prevent the smell of meat from wafting in.

Not only that, he also quickly went to the window and closed all the windows.

Mingzhuo picked up a large bucket, filled it with water, and poured it directly into the stove. The firewood was soaked through, and the flames immediately went out.

Gu Xu opened the pot lid and took a look. Just as he had thought, these were the real dishes from the private banquet.

He saw through the flaky flesh at a glance what was underneath, and Mingzhuo naturally saw it too.

Her stomach churned instantly, and she grabbed Gu Xu's shirt and buried her head in his chest. "No, the impact was too great. Let me catch my breath."

Gu Xu put the lid back on the pot and asked, "How are we going to destroy these things?"

Mingzhuo: "Dig a hole in the ground, pour all of this in, and then I'll use magic to summon heavenly lightning and fire, and I guarantee it will burn completely."

Gu Xu had no objection; these things naturally couldn't be kept, otherwise they would eventually become a nuisance.

Mingzhuo leaned against Gu Xu for a moment, and finally felt the nausea subside.

Gu Xu was about to say something when he suddenly saw the person in his arms raise their head, put a finger to their lips, and shake their head slightly.

He realized instantly that someone was hiding in the room!

The kitchen has a very square layout, with the stove next to the window overlooking the water, allowing the chimney to go directly outside; on the other side is a storage room with freezers and shelves, fully stocked with rice, flour, and cooking oil.

In the middle, there is a rectangular cutting board, which serves as both the food preparation area and the food serving area.

The house was completely open, leading them to instinctively assume that everyone inside had run away.

In fact, there is a large space under the cutting board, which is a blind spot.

Mingzhuo stepped forward and pulled the person hiding inside out.

"Ah! Let go! Let go! Are you crazy, Ruan Mingzhuo?!" Fu Xinyue screamed.

Gu Xu glanced down and saw that there was another person hiding inside. The person was quite large and remained motionless.

Fu Xinyue swallowed hard and quickly said, "My brother is inside! He's scared, please don't be so barbaric!"

Gu Xu stared at the seemingly trembling figure for a moment, but the light was dim and he couldn't see it clearly.

He quickly frowned slightly: "What is he eating?"

He realized that the other person wasn't trembling at all, but was eating. His face was buried in his chest, and the movement made his whole body look like he was trembling from behind.

“Nothing of the sort!” Fu Xinyue blocked their way, as if only just realizing what was happening. “Oh, Ruan Mingzhuo, were you following us? Did Teacher Li send you, or did you come on your own? You’re violating my right to privacy…”

Mingzhuo, his face ashen, swatted away the person who was in his way.

Fu Xinyue was furious: "Ruan Mingzhuo, you're not allowed to touch my husband!"

The person inside reminded Pang Da, who got stuck for a moment. Ming Zhuo lost his patience and kicked the hundred-pound cutting board away.

The cutting board crashed to the ground with a loud thud, and the food, cups, and plates on it fell to the floor with a clatter.

The person inside finally emerged, burying their head in a basin the size of a washbasin and eating heartily.

Even after such a big incident, Fu Xing still didn't look up; his head was practically buried in the basin.

Mingzhu kicked the entire basin away, and Fu Xing looked up blankly, revealing a face covered in grease from eating.

He subconsciously licked his hand; it smelled so good.

Fu Xinyue: "Ruan Mingzhuo, you've gone too far! This isn't over yet, you must apologize to my husband immediately!"

Seeing that Fu Xing wasn't angry, she became suspicious. "Honey, aren't you going to say anything to her? Ruan Mingzhuo, are you trying to seduce my husband on purpose?"

Mingzhuo: "You have an upset stomach, not a brain problem. Look at your husband, does he even look like a human being?"

Fu Xinyue: "You're not human!"

Mingzhuo was never afraid of others' stubbornness. She grabbed Fu Xinyue, bit her fingertip, and smeared some blood on the other's eyes.
