Chapter 47 Here Comes Me, Little Mi! Turns out she's Uncle Pei!?

"Xiao Mi, you can actually talk!"

Cen Ying was greatly shocked when she heard this. The voice of a cute and cuddly kitten was actually that of a deep and powerful young man.

Cen Ying felt as if she had been struck by lightning; the image of the adorable Mimi in her heart collapsed.

The people on one side were stunned as if struck by lightning, while the ghost messengers on the other side rushed towards the two people and the cat like hail falling from the sky.

One by one, they were wrapped in human skin, which was stretched open by a specially made, huge human skeleton that was as hard as iron. It was as big as half a small mountain and pressed down heavily, with sharp palms like a fan passing by.

Bai Yuheng lightly touched the ground to leap over, using the momentum to step on the iron palm that was coming from the side, and kicked away another ghost messenger.

A golden light flashed in her right hand, and a sharp sword twirled in her hand before severing an arm beside her.

Because there were simply too many ghost messengers in the palace, Bai Yuheng had no choice but to have Li Tiankuo lure them together. She then used her sword to slay the ghost messengers blocking her way, while releasing a golden snake with her left hand. The snake transformed into countless fine threads, which coiled and entangled within the skin and flesh, like a fine net binding all the ghost messengers.

"Get out of here, Xiao Kuo!"

Bai Yuheng shouted, and the latter chopped off the iron hand that was binding her, flipped over, and landed in the corner.

Seeing the opportunity, Bai Yuheng quickly pulled back the silk threads in her wrist, binding all the ghost messengers together and trapping them. She then swiftly formed hand seals: "All things in the ten directions, heaven and earth in the eight directions, I command you, spirits, quickly submit to the law, golden light, break!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the bundle bound together burst forth with a blinding light from the inside out, emitting a deep and ethereal ringing sound amidst the wailing cries.

"Bang!"

The earth shook violently for a moment, then the wind and rain stopped, and the palace returned to its tranquility. The Cleansing Dust Technique cleared away the dust and blood foam that had been raised, and the palace, which had been obscured by the dust, came into view again.

The ground was littered with severed limbs and debris.

Bai Yuheng retracted the golden snake, landed on her toes, and exhaled a deep breath.

"Who is causing trouble within my religion?"

Before everyone could fully relax, a voice echoed throughout the square hall. A figure was reflected on the wall, growing smaller as it approached, until it appeared opposite them.

A woman, taller than most women but still somewhat petite, with a bewitching appearance, stood gracefully opposite them in a dark red and black witchcraft robe. Her head was adorned with ornaments made of various bones, and she had a scarlet mark on her eyes and forehead, as well as a bewitching red on her lips. Her cheeks appeared to be tattooed with totems.

"Chen Chengcai, where is my brother?!" Chen Ping'an rushed out of the protective barrier and shouted at the people on the other side, "Release my brother immediately!" Chen Chengcai chuckled, "Truly deep brotherly affection, huh? You lured these people here to save Changsheng, destroying my ghost array..." His words were laced with laughter, yet a chilling undertone emanated from them, "Ping'an, do you know that this will come at a price?"

Chen Ping'an didn't care about anything else and shouted sternly, "Release my brother immediately! Otherwise, I will never forgive you!"

“You’re too naive,” Chen Chengcai chuckled sinisterly. “My army of ghost messengers won’t be defeated so easily.”

Having said that, he picked up the finger bone whistle hanging around his neck and blew it. A melodious and profound tune echoed in the hall, and the shattered limbs lying on the ground began to reassemble.

Before he could finish, Bai Yuheng waved her right hand, and the golden snake was unsheathed, transforming into strands of silk that pulverized the severed limb once more.

At the same time, he leaped to the opposite side, his left hand transforming into a sharp sword, and knocked the finger bone whistle from Chen Cheng's hand.

"you!"

His eyes were bloodshot, and as the sound of his finger bone whistle fell, it was crushed into powder by her.

Chen Cheng took several steps back and glared at her fiercely.

"Who exactly are you, and why are you helping him?!"

Bai Yuheng smiled faintly: "I will not change my name or surname, I am the Hengluan Emperor of the Tianyan Sect—" As she spoke, she glanced at Xiao Mi who was pretending to be busy, and continued with a smile, "the eldest disciple of Pei Yuan, my personal disciple—Bai Yuheng."

After she finished speaking, she respectfully bowed with her hands clasped in greeting.

Chen Chengcai: "..."

He held his breath, gave a cold snort, and then laughed, "Why do you cultivators have to meddle in our human world's affairs? Can't you just mind your own business?"

“You have brought calamity to the world, so we naturally have the right to rid the people of this scourge,” Cen Ying shouted.

"Hahaha, wreaking havoc on the world, what a joke! It's an absolute joke!" Chen Cheng laughed maniacally. "We are messengers of God, here to guide the suffering people of the world into the divine realm, away from the greed, anger, ignorance, and suffering of the human world... Everything we do is righteous, how can it be considered wreaking havoc on the world!?"

"To skin a person alive and tear out their tendons, isn't that a scourge?" Li Tiankuo said coldly. "Stop wasting words with him, take him down, and restore peace to the world!"

Having said that, he gripped his sword and was about to strike. Chen Cheng was somewhat skilled and could withstand a few blows. He used his hand as a whistle and blew a sharp, piercing sound, causing the stone door of the secret passage to slam shut.

"Bang bang bang!"

Something was violently striking the stone gate, and the entire palace was trembling.

"Bang—"

The stone chamber door on the right was shaken open, and with a loud bang, a heavy stone door flew out and crashed heavily onto the opposite side, raising another cloud of dust.

A figure nearly eight feet tall pressed down like a mountain.

"Big brother!" Chen Ping'an opened his eyes wide and wanted to run over, but Bai Yuheng tied him to the spot with a rope.

"Chen Cheng, what did you do to my brother?!"

"Haha, it's just a little modification." Chen Cheng was very satisfied with it, his eyes full of appreciation. "Look, isn't it beautiful and magnificent?"

"Bastard! I'm going to kill you!" Chen Ping'an struggled, veins bulging on his forehead, but he couldn't break free of the ropes binding him.

"Let me go! I'm going to kill him!"

"Hahaha, Changsheng has now been refined by me into the most perfect and powerful ghost messenger in this world." He laughed heartily, then narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Changsheng, kill them all, leave no one alive!"

The puppet Changsheng obeyed the command, and with its left hand outstretched, it grasped a large sword, and a fierce gust of wind swept down towards them.

Bai Yuheng tied up his left hand, which was wielding the knife, while Li Tiankuo took the opportunity to swing his sword.

"No, no, no! Don't kill him! Please don't kill him!" Chen Ping'an struggled and pleaded, tears streaming down his face, blurring his vision.

Upon hearing the sound, Li Tiankuo withdrew his strength, only to be struck down by the puppet Changsheng's palm, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.

Bai Yuheng said, "Xiao Kuo, you hold him back, I'll draw the demon-subduing formation!"

"Alright!" Li Tiankuo clutched his chest, paused for a moment, then drew his sword and charged forward to fight.

"You can't possibly defeat him! Surrender!" Chen Cheng was still arrogant even though he was tied up. Bai Yuheng found him annoying and simply tied him up and gagged him.

Bai Yuheng landed in the middle, bit her fingertip, and used her hand as a pen and her blood as a seal to quickly draw an array on the ground.

Meanwhile, Li Tiankuo, who had been injured by that palm strike, was struggling slightly.

The little cat watching the battle scoffed, its tone filled with undisguised disdain. It ran quickly, leaped into the air, and after a cloud of white mist, a tall, slender figure appeared before the puppet like the wind, blocking its attack. With a flick of a cold sword, it neutralized the puppet's move.

Cen Ying, who was watching the battle, was shocked: "Uncle-Master Pei!?"

Even Li Tiankuo, whom he rescued, was taken aback.

Xiaomi is actually Uncle Pei!?

No, no, it should be said that Uncle Pei transformed into Xiaomi!

"Snap out of it, go and let Cen Ying check your injury." Pei Yuan stood in front of him. The young man's body was already mature, much broader and more upright than that of a green-faced boy.

Pei Yuan turned around, his brows furrowing, clearly annoyed by his distraction: "I'm here."

Having said that, without waiting for him to come to his senses, he transformed the sword in his hand into a bow and shot it at the puppet. The arrow had a direction, and the tail of the arrow trailed out white mist-like threads, completely surrounding the puppet.

The bow in his hand became the source of control over the silk threads. Pei Yuan held it tightly, leading the puppet into the formation.

"Chang Sheng! Kill them! Kill them!" Chen Chengcai somehow managed to break free from the golden snake that was covering his mouth. Bai Yuheng glanced at it briefly and saw the little golden snake trembling pitifully, covered in Gu worms.

"..."

Yes, snakes, like their owners, are afraid of insects.

"Come here, little cutie." Bai Yuheng called to it, and the little golden snake slithered over in a flash, rubbing against her palm. Its pitiful appearance made Bai Yuheng feel sorry for it. After removing the Gu worms from its body, she stepped aside and said to Pei Yuan, "Master, lure him over here."

Pei Yuan nodded, exerted force, and pulled the struggling puppet to the center of the formation.

As soon as the puppet's foot stepped into the circle, a golden light flashed, and Chen Cheng, who had been untied, used his finger as a whistle to blow it.

The puppet's skill seemed to have improved even further. Bai Yuheng leaped towards Chen Chengcai and fought him bare-handed.

Chen Cheng had some martial arts skills, but not many. Before long, Bai Yuheng restrained him, twisting his arms behind his back and kicking him in the back of the knee, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground.

Meanwhile, Pei Yuan successfully brought the puppet into the formation, while Bai Yuheng used her free hand to chant incantations and suppress Chen Chengcai.

The golden light grew even more intense, and the puppet, which was not originally meant to speak, let out a howl.

"Big brother!" Chen Ping'an looked at Bai Yuheng, who was chanting incantations, and scolded, "What did you do to my big brother!?"

Bai Yuheng didn't have time to pay attention to him, and Pei Yuan said coldly, "If you want your brother to be safe, then shut up."

"..." Chen Pingan turned off the engine, his eyes fixed on Chen Changsheng, fearing that something might have happened to him.

Before long, Chen Changsheng's features softened, and the murderous aura around him dissipated.

Seeing his years of hard work destroyed in an instant, Chen Chengcai trembled with rage. He broke free from her grasp, dragged himself away, and said coldly, "You've ruined my life's work, so don't even think about leaving here alive!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around quickly and pressed a mechanism somewhere. The entire palace began to shake and crumble, and fine dust poured out from the cracks.

Bai Yuheng used a golden snake to drag the sleeping Chen Changsheng away, shouting, "I'll take him, you guys find the exit quickly!"

"Hahahaha, you can't escape, hahahahaha..." Chen Cheng's eyes were red, as he wanted to die with them. "Every exit here is sealed off, you absolutely can't get out, let's die together, hahahahaha... Shang Su disobeyed my orders and was ruthless, you ruined my life's work! I want you all to be buried with me! At least I'll have company on the road to the underworld! Hahahahahaha..."

"If you want to die, then die yourself!"

Chen Ping'an walked smoothly to a mechanism, met his panicked eyes, and sneered: "Don't forget, my parents and I are all members of the Divine Cult. My father also participated in the renovation of the temple back then."

"Who are you trying to scare with your words?" As soon as he finished speaking, he pressed a mechanism, and the shaky temple paused for a moment. Then, a stone door opened in an inconspicuous wall, letting in a faint light.

"No! You can't leave! If we're going to die, we'll all die together!" He seemed to have gone mad, blowing on his knuckles as if trying to awaken something. One after another, hidden arrows shot out, piercing through the falling dust and sand, aiming at them.

Pei Yuan formed a hand seal, and a white light shone on Bai Yuheng, blocking the incoming arrow, while the others were also protected by the barrier she set up.

"Hurry up! We can't hold out here for much longer!" Chen Ping'an warned.

"good!"

The group left one after another.

Chen Chengcai was struck in the knee by the arrow he himself had fired, collapsing to the ground with a deafening roar. His shrill voice echoed throughout the temple.

"Li Yuansheng, Gan Chaoshi, how can we possibly restore our divine religion?"

"Who can restore the prosperity of my religion?!"

"Hahahaha..."

"Boom—"

The ground collapsed, revealing a huge crater in the sunlight.

All darkness will be exposed, leaving nowhere to hide, and light will eventually illuminate the earth.
