Chapter 456 Corpse Transformation? Sparrow Turns into a Ghost and Sets a Trap!

"Wait! Something's not right."

"What about those Witch Moon cultists?"

"What Witch Moon Cultists? Weren't they all wiped out by us?"

"Yes, apart from Elder Lingjun and her group, not a single survivor was left."

"These were all Elder Lingjun's own orders, so we can't be blamed."

"Hehehehe..." The wicked laughter suddenly stopped after a gust of wind carrying rain.

"I'm talking about those corpses!"

"When we left, weren't there corpses lying everywhere?"

"Now, there aren't any left—"

boom--

A flash of lightning.

The entire front mountain of the Witch Moon Cult was deserted.

The ground was dark reddish-black, but it was impossible to tell whether it was blood or rain.

The witches who were sent up the mountain finally realized the eeriness of this dark place.

"Then, what about the corpses?"

"Yes, where's the body?"

"Ah—!! Could it be that they've all turned into zombies?"

"No, don't talk nonsense!"

“Didn’t someone hear some noises coming from this mountain? Master and the others are afraid that Elder Lingjun may have already come out, but he might have sent us up here to check because he wants to keep the treasure for himself.”

"Perhaps they're the ones who collected all those bodies?"

"Yes, yes, we need to stay calm and not scare ourselves..."

"How could a dozen or so of them have moved all the bodies of over a hundred people in such a short time?!"

The scream rang out again, and then the entire front of the mountain fell into a deathly silence.

Que'er, who was standing in the shadows with Zhuiyu, sneered intermittently.

What a disgusting bunch of beasts!

It is clear that over a hundred people from the entire Witch Moon Cult were killed.

Now they fear that those they killed will become evil spirits.

Then I, this evil spirit, will first settle scores with a few members of the Witch Moon Cult.

Que'er picked up her knife and was about to go out.

Zhuiyu grabbed him tightly and pulled him close, holding him down.

What are you going to do?

"Don't you know your own weight?"

"Get out of here right now!"

Sparrow rolled her eyes.

"My martial arts skills have improved by leaps and bounds over the past year!"

"And also, without the poison-repelling sachet, you'd better stay put!"

"Watch how I deal with them."

After saying that, Que'er pushed Zhuiyu away, then pulled her long hair down and let it fall behind her head. She then raised her hand and smeared the lip rouge she had deliberately applied earlier onto her face.

She floated away with her hands hanging down.

"I died such a terrible death..."

Over the past year, Que'er has been practicing diligently with Li Qingluo every day, just like the girl in her family, never slacking off for a single day.

She thought of her grandmother who had died tragically.

Thinking back to how she was so weak and easily defeated that Princess Qinyu had taken advantage of her and made her the girl's weak spot.

The girl suffered greatly because of herself and her grandmother.

Grandma also died in that memory that Sparrow never wanted to recall.

Later, the girl had the word "kill".

She rarely takes herself out anymore.

Sparrow knew that the girl didn't want her to follow her into those dangerous situations again.

But ultimately it's because I'm just too incompetent.

So, she still harbored resentment and wanted to stand by the girl's side again and become her right-hand woman.

Just like Zhui Yu, he could become one of the closest people to Prince Su.

Although Que'er's talent is not as good as Li Qingluo's.

But with her hard work, she made very rapid progress.

Even Zhuiyu's eyes widened instantly, her face showing incredible surprise.

The appearance of the sparrow startled the witches, who trembled and huddled together in a panic.

They frantically threw Gu worms at the sparrow.

But these venomous insects refused to get close to the sparrow.

Seeing the sparrow disappear in a flash, only to suddenly reappear, the priestesses were nearly scared out of their wits.

"A ghost!!"

"No, don't come any closer! We don't want to kill you either. We're just following orders."

Sparrow: "But we died so tragically... Did we really want to die...?"

"We are all women from Miao territory, why must we kill each other..."

"You killed us, don't even think about shirking responsibility..."

As she spoke, Que'er raised her knife and charged forward.

The witches immediately scattered and fled.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Que'er grabbed one of them and slit her throat with a single stroke.

These witches are all masters of Gu poison.

Unfortunately, their martial arts skills were not very good.

Once they had the girl's sachet, these poisons no longer posed a threat to them. What difference was there between these witches and novices?

Seeing that Que'er had killed someone, the others also rushed forward with ferocity.

"We'll fight you to the death!"

Sparrow sneered, it was the perfect time to meet her.

After a dozen or so moves, she effortlessly slew the other three priestesses.

Zhuiyu clapped his hands as he came out.

"Wow, amazing! You've really become so impressive in just a few days. Sister Sparrow, you've become so powerful now, you must protect me from now on!"

Sparrow: ...

Why do I suddenly feel like punching him?

Sparrow barely managed to suppress the urge to hit someone.

She gave Zhuiyu a look and said coldly, "Isn't it all thanks to Elder Lingjun's good teaching?"

"We knew all along that optical poison techniques were useless, which is why we were secretly trained."

"Ha. I knew these people from Yun Gu and He Huan Sect were all good-for-nothings, not a single one of them could fight."

"Look at these good-for-nothings, they actually think they can sneak up the mountain to gather information."

"Then I'll make sure none of you can go back."

As she spoke, she pretended to be angry and kicked the corpse on the ground.

Then he added, "Alright. Let's continue our ambush. We can't let them ruin the elder's plans."

"That treasure was finally able to reappear in the light of day. If it weren't for that Li Qingluo from Daliang ruining things, we wouldn't have almost been buried alive."

"Once the rain stops tomorrow morning, we'll have to go back to the cliffs on the back mountain to continue digging up those rubble."

"Those treasures are all hidden under the pile of rubble."

"Perhaps we can get a share of the benefits then?"

Zhuiyu's eyes shone like a thief's: "In that case, shouldn't we hurry up and find a few more people to defend this front mountain?"

After the two of them left in a hurry, the corpse that had just been pretending to be dead on the ground quickly crawled forward.

Like a spider, it quickly disappeared beneath the long ladder in the darkness...

After everyone left, Zhuiyu and Que'er revealed themselves again.

After exchanging a glance, the two revealed a strange smile.

After hearing the news from the front mountain, Li Qingluo finally lay down.

Sparrow and the others knew about the shift change, so she hugged her blanket, closed her eyes, and quickly went to sleep.

After forcibly expending his internal energy several times today, Li Qingluo soon started snoring softly.

Upon hearing her voice, Duan Rongshi, who was still wiping his hands, suddenly paused.

He walked to the bedside and reached out to touch her wrist.

Upon feeling her disordered meridians, Duan Rongshi's brows furrowed instantly.

What exactly did you do to yourself?

He naturally received no reply from the person who was already fast asleep.

Duan Rongshi then used Li Qingluo's hand to slowly channel his powerful internal energy into her body through his palm...
