As he spoke, black blood gushed from his mouth, and he said in a low voice, "I will pay for the mistakes I made myself. This time, I can consider it... repaying... the principal's kindness in recognizing my talent!"

The black blood had a terrifying stench; He Xiangu felt dizzy after just a whiff and quickly let go of the blood.

She stumbled back more than ten steps, her mind clearing, and she involuntarily gasped in surprise:

"The Purifying Fruit of Tianshui Palace?!"

The Purifying Fruit originates from the Heavenly Water Palace and is a precious medicinal material for refining elixirs, but it is also a terrible poison that can take effect at any time.

If an ordinary person were to ingest this poison, they would die from just half a sip of water, and wouldn't even be able to become a ghost!

"I know the principal won't forgive me for what I did, but with Teacher Murong helping the principal, I'm not very useful to him anymore."

Wu Yongci thought of Han Die. He had thought he only saw Han Die as someone to challenge, but he found out in the Blue Butterfly Cave that it wasn't like that. He risked his life twice to save Han Die in the Blue Butterfly Cave, and even though Han Die wronged him, he pretended not to understand and spoiled her without limit.

"That's fine too. If you can't even be a ghost, then neither can I."

Wu Yongci trembled as she took out her phone, dialed a number, and said directly, "Teacher, I still chose this path after all. This is my personality, it's my own choice... Teacher Murong, you guessed I would do this, didn't you? You didn't stop me because you were worried I would resent the principal?"

He said softly, "Actually, I don't resent the principal. I resent myself. My character flaws caused Han Die to sink into the mire, and also caused my own inability to extricate myself. Perhaps my mind can surpass yours, teacher, but I will never become a better strategist than you... Farewell, teacher."

"You son of a bitch!" A mocking curse suddenly came from the phone.

"ah?"

Wu Yongci was completely dumbfounded.

You bastard, teacher, no, Murong Zhen, are you really this bastard?

I'm about to die, and I'm getting all sentimental right now. You won't let me have one last moment of sentimentality and you're calling me a bastard?

He was still dazed when a small hand pressed against his back, and a violent shock erupted from his body, making him clutch his stomach as if he had vomited up his intestines.

Immediately afterwards, an ice cream cone was shoved into his mouth. Xue Nuo grinned and used a feather duster to push the ice cream down his throat, then stuffed in a bunch of pills, also using the feather duster to push them into his stomach.

"Not quite cold enough." Xue Nuo's big eyes sparkled.

Removing the toxins from the Cleansing Fruit requires many elixirs, one of which only works at relatively cold temperatures. This is why Xue Nuo first gave him an ice cream cone, and then gave him another one, blinking her big eyes and laughing gleefully: "Tianshui Palace said one popsicle would be enough, but I don't have any, so Sister Xiaoran..."

"All right."

Li Xiaoran stepped out from the side, and before Wu Yongci could react in her horrified gaze, he reached out and froze Wu Yongci into an ice pop.

"Eight-Armed Rakshasa, you owe this fairy an explanation!"

Seeing that Li Xiaoran and Xue Nuo had saved Wu Yongci's life, He Xiangu suddenly became furious: "So many people were going to die, all because of Wu Yongci's good deeds. You saved him, are you saying that Fang Zong is protecting him?"

Li Xiaoran glanced at him indifferently and slowly removed the large block of ice that had been freezing Wu Yongci.

Xue Nuo took out another ice cream and started eating it herself, while speaking up for Li Xiaoran, saying, "A-Zong doesn't know about this, but Murong Zhen does. We just received a call from Murong Zhen and we know about it too."

"Then you need to give us an explanation!"

"OK!"

Purple lightning crackled around Xue Nuo's petite body: "Murong Zhen said that he instigated Wu Yongci to do this, and he will take the blame."

"Who doesn't know that Murong Zhen is Fang Zong's chief strategist?"

"yes!"

Xue Nuo's lightning intensified, and Li Xiaoran extended eight arms: "It's because both Murong Zhen and Wu Yongci are A Zong's men that we're resolving issues the way A Zong does." Xue Nuo finished his ice cream and grabbed two crescent-shaped blades: "We'll deal with our own people! Anyone who disagrees, just kill them!"

immortal:"……"

monster:"……"

Among the group of demons, Bai Su felt pity for those who were about to die, but she shook her head and stood on Li Xiaoran and Xue Nuo's side. Many demons followed, and the scene became strangely confrontational.

Gods are not divided into gods, and monsters are not divided into monsters.

He Xiangu's side has also become mixed up, with a powerful demon who had previously fought her to the death beside her.

The situation was on the verge of erupting, as if a fight was about to break out just when all the energy was exhausted. But suddenly, the swaying bamboo forest made a whooshing sound, and a figure walked out of the bamboo forest.

Behind him flowed long, jet-black hair, over ten meters long, and even more striking was a fiery red cloak, over twenty meters long.

As Fang Zong walked slowly towards them, everyone—be it gods, demons, humans watching from afar, or millions of ghosts—involuntarily held their breath.

Under the watchful eyes of countless people, he grabbed Wu Yongci and spat, "You little brat, you even schemed against me?"

"Cough cough," Wu Yongci's body was still very weak, but his mind was not affected. After a moment's thought, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, Teacher Murong schemed against both you and me. He meant well..."

Before she could speak, Xue Nuo, who was standing next to her, seemed to remember something and tossed three photos over with a grin: "To be honest, Murong Zhen really meant well. You killed two birds with one stone, while he killed three birds with one stone... These three photos were faxed over by Murong Zhen. He said they were selected from among the female students in school who admire you. He said that after this experience, you've practically died once, so you can forget about Han Die. He wants you to see these three girls and let A-Zong decide which one you like to marry. If you like them all, you can marry them all."

"What?"

"What the hell! You pick them yourself and go after them, what right do I have to make decisions?!"

Fang Zong pushed Wu Yongci away, his gaze falling on He Xiangu, and then turning to look behind He Xiangu.

He noticed that Laozi was standing behind He Xiangu, and squinted as he asked, "Laozi, are you going to take action against me for the lives of a few hundred ordinary people?"

Lao Tzu smiled wryly and said, "It wouldn't have happened before, but now... maybe it will."

"That's great!"

Fang Zong's words startled both the gods and demons. If they were to attack him, it would be... quite a good thing?

While the gods and demons were still confused, they discovered that the power belonging to the Heavenly Sound Forest on Fang Zong's body had completely dissipated, followed by a huge light.

"玏珰..."
