Upon hearing this, Bai Shu was overjoyed.
He didn't care whether his disciples lived or died.
As long as he is there, the Ghost Sect will continue to prosper.
At that time, many disciples will come seeking his services.
Ye Qi grabbed the longsword and slashed his own palm with a whoosh.
"Your Highness, since these bubbles are afraid of blood, then I will come down and you finish them off."
Night Thirteen and Night Fifteen also swiftly cut their palms.
Only Qing Sui rolled her eyes at them.
Night Seven was already impatient.
He steadied himself in a horse stance and, mimicking Mo Yunhan's movements, swung his blood-stained longsword horizontally.
The sword energy clashed, and he was sent flying back several steps, almost falling on his backside.
"Why...why won't this work?"
Night Thirteen and Night Fifteen both stepped forward and tried to attack, but were both thrown back.
Mo Yunhan looked at the three of them speechlessly.
"Your blood is useless."
Just as he was preparing to attack again, he suddenly heard someone shout, "Ninth Prince, please step aside!"
As soon as he finished speaking, something burning into a ball of fire came hurtling over.
The fireball was burning something unknown, and the smoke it emitted was a strange seven-colored phenomenon.
The strong smell of medicine, mixed with the bitter smell of sulfur, made everyone cover their mouths and noses.
Mo Yunhan quickly signaled Ye Qi and the others to retreat.
Amidst the thick smoke, the Ghost Sect disciples initially didn't take it seriously, but they soon discovered that the smoke could actually penetrate the defensive beams and rush inside.
They were all choked so badly that tears and snot streamed down their faces.
We had to quickly tear off the defensive beam.
Some were emptying water bags, while others were sticking talismans to their eyes; the scene was in complete chaos.
Only Bai Shu's defensive beam was unaffected.
He stood there, so angry he was jumping up and down.
"Who stole my Seven-Colored Ball!"
Mo Shaoze led a group of men and charged forward.
Arrest them all.
Ye Qi and the others immediately rushed over to help.
Seeing that something was wrong, Bai Shu suddenly pulled a gourd from his waist and yanked off the stopper.
As the incantation was chanted, countless black insects flew out.
It was that black Gu worm that appeared that night when Mo Yunhan and Jiang Qingwan were attacked.
The insect landed on the nearest soldier and instantly burrowed into his seven orifices.
The soldiers' eyes quickly turned bloodshot.
Like a controlled zombie, it bites any living person it sees.
The situation changed drastically in an instant.
Ye Qi shouted, "I'm not afraid of this thing."
He then smeared blood on the sword again and slashed at it with a series of crackling sounds.
His blood was of little use, but the insects couldn't harm him.
After getting up, Mo Yunhan quickly opened his injured hand.
The worms, as if they had smelled the most delicious thing in the world, flew frantically toward his palm.
Bai Shu snorted coldly.
"Ninth Prince, you will die today."
As he spoke, he rushed into the imperial tomb, intending to take the opportunity to retrieve the Yin Tai Sui.
Qing Sui and Ye Shisan quickly intercepted him, but they were unable to stop his defensive light waves.
He was about to break in.
Suddenly, a rope flew out from inside the imperial mausoleum and bound the white tree tightly in the blink of an eye.
The defensive light waves surrounding him also dissipated instantly.
Qing Sui was so angry that she wanted to kill him with a single blow.
But Mo Shaoze stopped him.
"Wait a moment, young lady, I have something else to ask you."
Qinghui frowned and looked at him coldly.
Mo Shaoze hurriedly explained, "This person is from the Great Sui Dynasty, and he is one of the most prestigious illusionists in the Great Sui delegation that went to the Great Zhou Dynasty. He still has unsolved secrets, so he cannot die for the time being."
"Was he the illusionist from back then?"
Mo Yunhan turned around and walked over.
Bai Shu was stunned.
"You...how come you're alright?"
Mo Yunhan raised his hand.
The wound on his palm was still there, but there wasn't a single Gu worm.
"My blood is poisonous, and all your worms have been poisoned."
His explanation was completely unacceptable to Bai Shu.
"Impossible! My Gu worms are immune to all poisons! You...you...what are you..."
Mo Yunhan's longsword suddenly pointed at his neck.
"Now it is my turn to question you, not the other way around. Ye Qi, keep a close eye on him. I will interrogate him personally later. Before that, no one is allowed to approach him for the interrogation."
After saying that, he glanced at Mo Shaoze and strode into the imperial mausoleum.
"Ninth Prince..."
Mo Shaoze wanted to follow, but Ye Qi stopped him.
"Your Highness, the Ninth Princess Consort is inside. It's not appropriate for you to go in."
Mo Shaoze had no choice but to stop and turn to look at the white tree.
"Where exactly is the Ghost Sect? Where is the other illusionist? What are you plotting by lingering in the capital?"
Before Bai Shu could answer the three questions, Ye Qi blocked his way again.
"Your Highness, I'm sorry, but the person was captured by my master. My master has ordered that he will personally interrogate him later. Your Highness, please don't make things difficult for me."
Mo Shaoze was not annoyed.
Pointing to the Ghost Sect disciples being held down by soldiers not far away, he asked, "May I ask about those?"
His attitude made Ye Qi take a few more glances.
Ye Qi, who followed Mo Yunhan, had seen too many different kinds of officials. There were many people in the royal family who fawned on the powerful and bullied the weak, especially the princes.
He acts one way in front of Mo Yunhan, but another way when he's alone with his subordinates.
I barely even glanced at it.
But Mo Shaoze seems to be different.
He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Your Highness, please proceed."
Thank you!
Mo Shaoze returned the greeting before leaving.
Inside the imperial mausoleum,
Jiang Qingwan was at a crucial moment in forming the battle formation.
