In the second half of the night, the wind was howling.
A strange sound came from the empty Wuying Marquis Mansion.
I saw a woman kneeling in the mourning hall, covering her face and crying.
Suddenly, a box moved mysteriously and appeared in the mourning hall.
Soon, the box was placed next to the woman, and a bunch of black bugs emerged from the bottom of the box and all fled away.
The woman glanced at the box but didn't touch it.
At this moment, a strange voice came from outside: "So many people want to get this treasure. They are willing to give up everything, even their lives, in pursuit of fame and fortune."
"As long as you get it, the position of the head of the Ding family will be yours, and everyone will have to obey your orders."
The woman stopped sobbing and showed no signs of moving.
There was the sound of feet landing outside. Rong Ting's voice was no longer ethereal, but came from outside the door, saying, "Your grandfather must have been a great high priest. Why should you worry? Besides, you have the antidote on your wrist. I won't harm you."
"I just don't want all my hard work to turn into ashes. Soul-devouring Gu is very difficult to refine. Back then, I accidentally saw a poisonous toad that liked to eat a small pale yellow flower. I discovered that it was the essential elixir for refining Soul-devouring Gu. After much inquiry, I learned that the herb was called Nether Grass. Finding one was a great honor for me. I haven't seen it again in the decades since."
"So if you miss it, you'll never get it again."
The woman's hand touched the box and she seemed to have accepted it.
And the spirit snake bracelet was also revealed on her fair wrist.
Rong Ting's eyes lit up with joy and she walked into the mourning hall.
I only heard her coaxing softly: "Take off the bracelet first, then open the box. Then slowly put your finger in, it will like you."
Upon hearing this, the woman went to get the bracelet, and Rong Ting breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, the door behind Rong Ting suddenly closed.
When she realized something was wrong, the woman had already jumped into the coffin holding the box.
When she rushed over to take a look, she found that there was a passage inside, but the person was gone.
Zhang Tianshi also appeared in an instant, looking at Rong Ting and said, "Your time is up, there is nowhere to escape."
"Even though the Nether Grass is hard to find, you've only refined one Soul Devouring Gu in your lifetime. You're willing to sacrifice your life for others', destroying their foundations for food. The end result will be unjust."
Rong Ting was so angry that she said, "What do you know? Everything has its own chance. It is my chance, and I am its chance."
"So you've worked so hard for hundreds of years just to become an immortal Taoist?"
"You got what you wanted, and now you're blaming me?"
"Aren't you extremely hypocritical?"
Zhang Tianshi said: "I'm not blaming you, I'm trying to persuade you to turn back."
"There is a price to pay for this act of going against destiny."
Rong Ting suddenly extended her tentacles, wanting to end Zhang Tianshi's life, while saying, "The price is that I will never be reincarnated, and I will never let you have an easy life."
The battle between the two was about to break out, but Rong Ting was no match for Zhang Tianshi and was defeated in a few moves.
She also soon discovered that Zhang Tianshi's skills had greatly improved and were no longer comparable to before.
So she suddenly extended her sharp tentacles, punched a hole directly into the ground, and reached down.
Want to capture Ding Sihui.
At this moment, Xiao Qingyi below opened the box, and Rong Ting's tentacles directly penetrated the soul-devouring insect. In an instant, various tearing sounds were heard, including He Yingwu's.
The screams were like the howling of thousands of ghosts.
Xiao Qingyi was so frightened that his hand trembled and the soul-eating insect fell directly to the ground.
And the luck that it had absorbed was now spreading continuously around it. The harder it struggled, the faster it dissipated.
When Rong Ting heard the voice, she jumped back in fright.
Seeing this, Ding Sihui bit Xiao Qingyi's finger and let him absorb his luck. Xiao Qingyi was terrified and closed his eyes and shouted, "I don't want it."
Ding Sihui forcefully stopped him from moving and said, "It's almost dead, why don't you want it? Take it!"
Because the soul-eating insect absorbed the luck of the royal family, when the luck smelled the blood on Xiao Qingyi's fingers, it suddenly swarmed in and directly filled Xiao Qingyi's blood, instantly enhancing his royal luck.
Xiao Qingyi, who was originally inconspicuous in front of other princes, now has a strong aura in Xiao Huaizheng's eyes and cannot be ignored.
After the luck dissipated, the Soul-Eating Gu finally returned to its original form, like a cicada pupa.
At this time, the white ball of light dissipated, and it was deader than dead.
Rong Ting also came down from above. When she saw that the soul-eating insect she had raised with so much difficulty was accidentally killed by her, she wailed in pain with a hideous face, like a complete lunatic.
Only at this time did she see the real Ding Sihui.
"You lied to me? How dare you lie to me?"
"Ahhhh...I'm going to kill you, kill you!"
Rong Ting attacked Ding Sihui, with the intention of dying together.
Xiao Qingyi quickly pushed Ding Sihui away and used his internal energy to strike Rong Ting hard with a palm.
This palm strike was extremely powerful, breaking all of Rong Ting's limbs in one go. Zhang Tianshi then dealt Rong Ting a fatal blow, piercing her heart with his sword.
Rong Ting stood there stiffly and twistedly, as if she still couldn't believe it.
Zhang Tianshi came around to the front and saw that her soul was shattered. He couldn't help but sigh.
"Originally, you could have lived a carefree life. The reason Soul Devouring Gu became a forbidden technique is definitely because it goes against the laws of nature."
“What a pity…”
Xiao Huaizheng saw Rong Ting spitting out blood in large mouthfuls, unable to utter a word, but her eyes gradually became dull, and it seemed that she was beyond saving.
He asked, "Master, aren't you worried that she might have poisoned you?"
Zhang Tianshi said, "Qingyi accidentally absorbed the royal family's luck. When that luck merged into the palm power and hit her, it shattered her soul."
"Everything is destined to happen. This can be considered as a backlash on her."
Xiao Qingyi looked at his palm and still couldn't believe it.
Ding Sihui said, "The blood of the royal family can suppress evil spirits. I bit Qingyi's finger just now."
Xiao Qingyi's cheeks flushed when he heard this. He was about to check the wound on his finger, but he found that it had healed, with only a little blood on it, reminding him that everything he had just experienced was not a dream.
Xiao Huaizheng said: "Now that Rong Ting is dead and Sihui has been cleared of her grievances, it is time for us to retire."
"But we'd better wait for the Ding family to see what this monster looks like, otherwise they won't believe it."
Zhang Tianshi nodded and said, "Tell them to burn it after reading it."
As the few people came out of the basement, the last bit of light in Rong Ting's eyes disappeared completely. She was horrified and turned into a pool of rotten flesh.
