His eyes were still blurry, yet he didn't hesitate to waste his magical power to focus on his eyes, just so he could get a better look at the person in front of him.
Although he was very reluctant to leave, he had more important things to do.
Now is not the time to hesitate. With a wave of his hand, Shen Ruodi caused the old man and the Shadow Moon Clan members to bend their knees and kneel down in front of Ming Zhuo.
“Ah Yin, I’ll make them kowtow and apologize to you.”
Mingzhuo felt that those people weren't kneeling very willingly, but she generously let it go.
"It's alright, I've always had a good temper. Once they've been taken away by the Xuanmen people and interrogated to find out what bad things they've done, we'll deal with them accordingly."
These people infiltrated this place with ulterior motives, inducing ordinary people to offer sacrifices to summon evil spirits. They also have intricate connections with the God Lord, so of course they must be brought to justice.
Shen Ruodi smiled slightly, "Ayin, if you still have anger to vent, I'll have them come and apologize in person after a while."
He Wangyao relaxed a little, thinking that this evil spirit was actually quite gentle and reasonable.
Mingzhuo, however, had no intention of reasoning with him. He suddenly drew his sword and thrust it forward, demanding, "Why not now? Are you trying to protect them?"
Shen Ruodi had anticipated this move. Black mist gathered around his body, and his figure drifted away like a ghost in an instant.
"Sorry, not right now." He stood a short distance away with a slight smile.
But the yin energy and black mist around his body grew thicker and thicker. He spread his five fingers and suddenly grabbed, and He Wangyao immediately felt her breath catch in her throat!
He was injured by "Zhang Xian" and spat out blood on the magic circle. That blood was sacrificed to the evil spirits and has now become a tool for Shen Ruodi to manipulate them!
Not only him, but Li Wenhe and Pei Di were also dragged by an invisible hand and slid towards Shen Ruodi.
Only Gu Xu was immune to all evil and unaffected by anything.
Ming Zhuo abandoned her attack on Shen Ruodi. She could see red lines of blood connecting the bodies of several people to Shen Ruodi, so she immediately raised her sword and slashed at him.
Under the vibration of the invisible sword energy, those blood lines broke off inch by inch.
Shen Ruodi was not surprised. With a wave of his hand, the black mist swept away the old man and several Shadow Moon Clan members and disappeared.
This was his original purpose: to take those clansmen away smoothly, so he preemptively attacked He Wangyao, Li Wen, and the others.
Having achieved his goal, he didn't linger in the fight and swiftly disappeared into the darkness.
"Ah Yin, I will come to apologize to you in person after some time." In an instant, his voice was already hundreds of meters away.
The black mist swept over, leaving nothing behind.
Mingzhuo did not chase after them; the other party was determined to escape, so chasing would be useless.
She stretched and turned to her friends behind her, saying, "It's over. Let's go back. You guys are injured, you need to rest and recover."
Gu Xu said okay, he had no objection to any of Ming Zhuo's decisions.
Li Wenhe wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and suddenly said, "You weren't able to catch up with those people and beat them up, aren't you very resentful?"
Mingzhuo: "Huh? I don't think so."
“Our boss really does settle scores on the spot; he never lets a grudge linger overnight,” Pei Di echoed.
Xianze hesitated for a moment, then looked at Mingzhuo, "If you're still unhappy, I'll help you beat him up another day."
Li Wenhe looked down at his slowly clenched hands. He was still very unwilling. He had worked hard for more than half a year, but he still could not stand side by side with her.
"We said we were here to pick you up, but we're actually just a burden to you," he said indifferently.
Mingzhuo probably anticipated everything; she had made thorough preparations long ago.
"How could you have such a thought?" Mingzhuo finally understood what his eldest disciple was struggling with. This child really had a heavy mind.
“Your decision to come and meet me is certainly sound. Otherwise, what would happen to these people? They are all ordinary people who have been misled. We can’t just let them die. Only with you here can tonight be a peaceful night.”
Those cult members are all crazy; they can't reason with anyone.
If they don't come, these people might target her family and kidnap them to threaten her.
Mingzhuo stepped forward and patted Li Wenhe on the shoulder. "You can't feel defeated just because I'm too strong. After all, I'm invincible. There's no one in this world who can defeat me. Not even God." She arrogantly pointed to the sky above.
He Wangyao: "..."
Their leader's confidence was sometimes a bit too much.
He suddenly felt that something was wrong with the weather, as if the clouds were suddenly churning and the wind in the valley was getting stronger.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate to talk like this? I have a feeling that God has something to say about it." He Wangyao quietly moved closer to Gu Xu.
Gu Xu: "...Really? I don't think so. After all, Zhuozhuo was just telling the truth."
He Wangyao: "???"
He saw Gu Xu smile slightly, and his eyes widened immediately. "Ah Xu, something's wrong with you!"
However, he soon had no time to pursue the matter, because Gu Xu asked him in return, "Zhuozhuo is back, aren't you happy?"
He was so happy, he was absolutely overjoyed!
This person is my golden thigh. Having experienced the days of being carried by a big shot, I find it even more unacceptable to be chased by ghosts in my bronze life.
"Boss, let me tell you, a lot has happened in the past six months! Do you know..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat, and with a gurgling sound, he spat out a mouthful of blood, staring blankly at the ground.
The mountain wind howled, and the surroundings were silent. He felt as if the whole world had suddenly fallen into a state of silence.
Then he closed his eyes and collapsed.
——
The first night after Mingzhuo returned was as chaotic as he had imagined.
