She landed and stood in front of the crowd, catching the peach wood sword that flew back.

"I knew those evil cults couldn't be trusted. You've already broken your promise so quickly? Are all your promises just empty words?"

A clear female voice echoed throughout the cave, “What’s the point of bullying ordinary people? If you’re so capable, come and kill me. Didn’t you want to use my blood to sacrifice to the gods? Are you all so useless that you can’t even do this little thing?”

Arthur's face was full of resentment: "Ruan, Ming, Zhuo!"

The next sentence followed immediately, as he excitedly licked his lips, "Great! You've finally shown yourself!"

Mingzhuo: "Do I know you? Don't try to establish a friendship with me right away, you idiot."

Her style was always to talk and act at the same time. As if she had learned her lesson, Arthur quickly retreated, allowing the guards behind her to confront Mingzhuo.

He himself hid behind the crowd and continued to activate the Gu worms.

This can't go on. She's not afraid of these arrogant Gu worms, but the problem is their sheer number. If someone gets stung, it will be a huge mess.

Mingzhuo stopped and stepped back to He Wangyao's side. "Little Mumu, can you help me?"

As she spoke, she bit her fingertip and dripped a drop of blood onto the puppet's brow.

The puppet looked up at her, as if stunned.

Mingzhuo whispered, "Absorb it quickly so I can use you to control these Gu worms."

Qiao Song was overjoyed: "Advisor Ruan, are you trying to turn these Gu worms against us?"

Last time at the farmhouse, Mingzhuo managed to turn all the crocodiles in the pond against their will. Is he going to pull off the same stunt again this time?

Arthur's face was full of sneer. These Gu worms were something he had painstakingly raised for more than ten years. They were different from the crocodiles in the farmhouse. They had survived round after round of battles to the end.

Every single Gu worm here is extremely poisonous and dangerous, and they cannot be easily turned against their masters.

"Stop daydreaming. Ruan Mingzhuo is just a mortal, yet he dares to try and turn my Gu poison against him?"

The drop of blood between the puppet's eyebrows was as red as a mole, and it could sense the power contained within that drop of blood.

As the blood droplets were gradually absorbed, the puppet suddenly flew off Mingzhuo's shoulder and into the darkness.

A few minutes later, all the Gu worms changed direction, raising their tails and aiming at Asena and the others.

Arthur was shocked: "How could this be! Impossible!"

He stared at Mingzhuo in shock, his face showing disbelief. "Do you know that these Gu worms were nurtured using the power of the Bone Jade?!"

Mingzhuo could only express his deep sympathy: "Oh, that's a real pity. The power of Bone Jade is nothing special."

Now that the Gu worms had been turned, Tang Zhen and the other contestants reacted quickly, leaving Yuan Hui and Liao Hongmei to protect the ordinary people, while the others quickly organized a counterattack.

In the chaos, Liu Shuang's parents and their group of undead ignored the battle and continued walking toward the altar.

Mingzhuo sneered. Someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, knowing full well that she wouldn't let these people go unchecked.

Regardless, she accepted the commission and promised Liu Shuang that she would take her parents back, and she meant what she said.

Although these people have been drained of their life force and are no longer alive, she is determined to bring their bodies and souls back with her.

At the very least, the deceased should be laid to rest in peace, so that their souls may find peace.

Instead of letting their flesh and souls become sacrifices to evil creatures.

"Wenwen, I'm leaving this to you." After saying this, she quickly attacked the altar.

Along the way, people tried to stop her, but she knocked them all down.

She was halfway through her attack when, as if suddenly remembering something, she turned back and thrust her sword at Arthur with unpredictable movements.

Arthur was furious that even though she was almost at the altar, she would switch targets to him. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Ruan Mingzhuo, what exactly do you want?" His palm had been stabbed by Li Wenhe before, and with his hands tied, he was quickly defeated.

Mingzhuo grabbed Asena and carried her to the altar.

The altar is about ten meters long and wide, and it is hollow in the middle. Inside, there is a large cauldron, and something is burning inside, the fire never going out.

The moon was high in the sky, and its light shone through the towering cliff onto the large cauldron.

Mingzhuo glanced at the altar quickly and noticed strange patterns engraved on it, resembling an array.

I didn't see the ice coffin containing Luo Zhi's body, so the ceremony probably hadn't reached that point yet?

She arrived at just the right time; the first few undead to arrive were rushing forward, preparing to throw themselves into the cauldron.

Mingzhuo tried to stop them, but there were too many people and everyone was rushing in.

She suddenly sensed that the group had stopped. She looked up and her eyes lit up. "Ah Xu, you're here?"

Previously, Mingzhuo was in a hurry to save people, and he couldn't take Gu Xu with him when it came to stepping on someone's head.

Gu Xu told her to go first, as he wanted to secretly investigate the details of the altar.

At that time, Mingzhuo drew a palm talisman on his palm and gave him a protective amulet. He didn't expect Gu Xu to arrive so timely.

Gu Xu used a bronze mirror to temporarily stop the group's self-sacrifice, saying, "I can't control them for long."

Mingzhuo nodded. "They have already been sacrificed to the outer gods. Throwing themselves into the cauldron was the final step, which is why they are out of control. This connection must be severed."

The old man who had lit incense earlier was nowhere to be seen. There were only the two of them on the altar. Oh, no, there was also a hostage.

Mingzhuo grabbed Asena by the collar. "Since you are a divine messenger, why don't we use you as a sacrifice to the gods first?"

When Arthur saw that she was really pushing him towards the cauldron, his heart sank: "You're crazy!"

Isn't it said that those who cultivate themselves don't kill easily?

No, this woman is ruthless and vicious; the rules and regulations of the Xuanmen sect can't restrain her at all!

Threatened by the prospect of death, Arthur shouted, "What exactly do you want?"

Mingzhuo: "What do you think I want to do? If I can kill you once, of course I can kill you a second time. Don't you understand the principle of 'cutting the weeds by pulling out the roots'?"

Arthur was slightly shaken: "What are you talking about? I don't understand what you mean."

Mingzhuo lifted him above the cauldron, where the scorching flames made his back burn, but he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"My Lord, you died once, and after possessing another body, you've become this weak. Aren't you ashamed? Where did your former prestige go?"

She had been wondering why this baby-faced envoy was so hostile towards her, even though they had never met before. It was as if he harbored a deep-seated hatred for her.

She later discovered that the two not only knew each other, but were very close.

She did kill the god at Qingmen Temple, but he somehow managed to reassemble his soul.

This time he was much more cautious, choosing not to possess other people, but instead targeting his own people.

Her sword strike must have really caused him considerable damage; even after the possession, his abilities hadn't recovered to even a tenth or twentyth of what they were before.

Asana must have offered his sacrifice voluntarily, which is why his body and soul were so perfectly aligned, a fact that even many in the Saha world failed to notice.

The deity glared at Mingzhuo with resentment: "So you knew all along, but so what? I can't die, but you are just mortals."
