The Zou family was outnumbered and unable to resist, so they had to ask other members of the Xuanmen sect for help. Together, they set up a strangulation formation to kill the thousand-year-old fox demon.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zou Qingqing was seduced by the fox demon and turned against the Zou family.
Left with no other choice, the Zou family had to kill Zou Qingqing...
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaobai suddenly raised her head.
It died then, its soul trapped inside the fox pelt, dazed and confused.
Therefore, they had no idea that Zou Qingqing had been strangled by the Zou family.
It suddenly stood up.
The thousand-year-old fox demon's body instantly swelled up.
The red threads on its body were cutting its soul, but it didn't care about that at the moment; it only wanted to vent its anger.
"How did you kill her?"
The old man was terrified and said in a trembling voice, "You are... a fox demon? I... I don't know. I was just a child back then. I didn't know anything. I heard it from the adults."
"Who told you that?"
Before the old man could answer, a voice came from afar.
"Hands up! Don't move! Anyone who moves will die!"
Minglu looked up and saw someone shouting through a megaphone in the distance, while guns were already aimed at them from afar.
Mingluo: "..."
It's truly a modern society; firearms and other modern weapons have entered the realm of the divine, yet she still clings to the old ideas of the divine realm.
It seems I need to update my thinking.
Nie Yuchen held the man hostage and said coldly, "If you don't want him to die, don't move."
The old man was terrified and sweating profusely, but the man opposite him with the megaphone remained unmoved. "I'll count to three, and if you don't come out by then, I'll shoot."
The boy was terrified and said through tears, "My master and I are from a side courtyard, they won't care about our lives."
The so-called side courtyards were disciples of average talent selected by the Zou family from collateral branches.
Those disciples who were more favored lived in the main courtyard.
Because the children born to members of the Zou family's collateral branches over the past few years have all had some health problems, this young man thought of seeking help from the fox spirit, having heard that some people who sought help from the fox spirit would give birth to healthy children.
Mingluo understood.
She said calmly, "Let them go!"
Nie Yuchen glanced at Mingluo and roughly understood her plan.
He promptly released the old man and the boy.
The two walked in terror toward the Zou family's crowd.
At this moment, seeing that the threat had worked, the person on the other side said smugly, "Each of you break one of their arms and then tie your own hands together, and I won't shoot. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
Mingluo's lips curled into a mocking smile.
She had never been so humiliated in her life. She was always the one who asked others to cut off their own arms and spare her life. When did it become her turn?
She said casually, "I need to borrow something from you."
Nie Yuchen nodded and said in a deep voice, "Do as you please, I can handle it!"
"..."
Mingluo's feelings were complicated.
That's outrageous!
Juru had a misconception of spiritual connection.
I have to say, it feels so good to understand what the other person is thinking with just a glance.
Without hesitation, she grasped Nie Yuchen's hand, and the spiritual energy emanating from Nie Yuchen surged into her body like a raging river.
Their spiritual power originated from the same source and had no repulsion whatsoever. They quickly merged together and became a part that Minglu could use at will.
At the same time, Minglu threw out a handful of talismans. These talismans were activated by powerful spiritual energy, and almost instantly a storm of spiritual energy swept towards the Zou family members.
The Zou family members stared wide-eyed in terror, feeling as if they were being firmly pressed down by countless mountains.
In a panic, seeking that fleeting sense of security, he pulled the trigger, and a burst of bullets rang out.
Mingluo set up a magic array.
But she soon discovered that the magic circle had very limited resistance to firearms, especially when a barrage of bullets came and shattered the magic circle almost instantly.
Just as a bullet was about to hit Mingluo, Nie Yuchen instinctively grabbed Mingluo and rolled to the ground, narrowly avoiding the bullet.
Mingluo was pinned down by him and unable to move.
My mind was a little confused.
It seems... it shouldn't be like this...
Her fingertip was slightly damp; upon closer inspection, it was blood.
"Are you injured?"
Nie Yuchen's eyes darkened slightly as he led Mingluo to Zou Qingqing's tombstone, where the two hid behind it.
He rubbed his earlobe and found it was festering.
"I'm fine! Just a minor injury."
A slight ripple stirred in Mingluo's usually calm heart.
At this moment, Bai Xiaobai said urgently, "Come with me, they dare not come here."
It mustered its courage and pressed its furry paws on Zou Qingqing's tombstone.
The tomb seemed to possess a consciousness of its own, splitting open in two with a "crash," revealing a pitch-black cave...
Bai Xiaobai stared into the pitch-black depths and took the lead, jumping in first.
