"Sorry, this isn't my fault! If you don't die, tens of thousands of soldiers below will! Besides, I said I wouldn't kill you if you led me to Si Mingchen's hiding place! You haven't found it yet, so it's not like I broke my promise!"
Chu Wanwan remained calm and composed in the face of the witch's accusations, as if everything was under her control. She looked at the witch's incredulous and resentful eyes, but felt little emotion.
At this critical juncture, she could not afford to hesitate or be soft-hearted, because she knew that every decision she made could determine the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers.
"Witch, you should know that I am not a person who goes back on my word," Chu Wanwan's voice was calm and firm, "but faced with the greater good, I have no choice but to sacrifice you. Your blood can avert the lightning tribulation! Only if you die can they live!"
The witch was very unwilling after hearing Chu Wanwan's explanation, but she had no choice.
As more blood flowed, the witch felt her life rapidly slipping away. She lowered her head helplessly, awaiting death…
A moment later, Chu Wanwan waved her gentle hand, and the lifeless witch's body exploded, scattering like dust into every corner of the spiritual energy shield.
Immediately afterwards, Chu Wanwan waved her small hand again, and the blood scattered in all directions, turning into fine blood lines that flowed rapidly to every corner of the spiritual energy shield.
At this moment, four bolts of lightning struck down, and Chu Wanwan entered the protective shield.
Then, the lightning tribulation swirled around in mid-air before finally dissipating completely.
Chu Wanwan smiled; it seemed the witch's blood had fooled the lightning tribulation.
As the four bolts of purple lightning disappeared, the tribulation clouds in the sky slowly dissipated. The ancient lightning punishment formation had been broken just like that.
When the full moon hung in the sky again, Chu Wanwan waved her hand and removed the spiritual energy shield.
She then used her divine sense to search for Ouyang Lin's whereabouts in the vicinity. After a moment, Chu Wanwan walked into a tent with a slight smile on her lips and pulled out a thin old man.
"Who exactly are you? You can't possibly be only this old!"
"I am Chu Wanwan! If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do! Tell me! Where is Si Mingchen?"
Chu Wanwan looked at the old man and asked.
"Hmph!" Ouyang Lin snorted coldly and turned his head away, clearly unwilling to answer Chu Wanwan's question.
"If you tell me, it will be considered a great service. The merits and demerits will cancel each other out, and I will spare your life, how about that?" Chu Wanwan said coaxingly.
"Hmph! What do you take me for, Ouyang Lin? Am I the kind of person who would be afraid of death? Kill me or torture me, it's all up to you! But to make me betray my master is absolutely impossible!" Ouyang Lin glared at Chu Wanwan, his eyes filled with determination and resolve.
Chu Wanwan looked at Ouyang Lin and smiled, "My goodness! To be so sincere towards a traitor is truly touching! Since Senior Ouyang is so determined to have Wanwan kill and torture him, then Wanwan can't very well refuse!"
"Guards! Drag this old man away and slice him to pieces! Stop until he reveals Si Mingchen's whereabouts!"
As Chu Wanwan spoke, she directly crippled the old man's cultivation and then threw him to the soldiers.
This person can easily activate the Thunder Punishment Array, disregarding the lives of tens of thousands of people. It's clear he's a ruthless individual, and Chu Wanwan won't show any mercy to such a person.
Ouyang Lin was dragged away by the soldiers, his face filled with terror. He clearly hadn't expected Chu Wanwan to be so ruthless at such a young age. Although he had appeared unwavering before, his mental defenses began to crumble in the face of a life-or-death threat.
"Wait! I'll talk! I'll talk!" Ouyang Lin shouted, his eyes revealing fear and a desire to survive.
Chu Wanwan smiled slightly, gesturing for the soldiers to stop. She walked up to Ouyang Lin, bent down, and looked at him:
"I thought you could hold out a little longer! Too bad, you haven't even been cut yet!" Chu Wanwan said, sticking out her little tongue and licking her bright red lips, looking even more like a heretic than a true heretic: "Tell me, where is Si Mingchen?"
Ouyang Lin was panting heavily, clearly frightened by Chu Wanwan. His voice trembled as he said, "Master...he's in the valley where the Yongzhou army used to be, but I set up a barrier there, that's why you can't see them..."
"I see! You heard it too, Crown Prince. This person is yours to handle! I'm not in a position to participate in the upcoming battle, so I'll leave the rest to you! However, I will follow along, and I'll intervene if we encounter any cultivators that you can't handle!"
She is a member of the Xuanmen sect and is now a cultivator. Going on a killing spree will cause her to develop inner demons...
Chu Wanwan turned around and handed Ouyang Lin over to Si Mingye, who arrived shortly afterward.
“Okay!” Si Mingye nodded. He turned around and instructed Chu Qianhan and Chu Qingchuan to line up, while he looked at Chu Wanwan, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back.
"Crown Prince, what do you want to say?" Chu Wanwan looked at Si Mingye's expression and knew that he had something to say to her, so she asked.
What is your current cultivation level?
Si Mingye asked nervously.
"Ascension to Immortality! Since there are still many things to be done here, I don't plan to ascend for the time being. I've used the Concealing Spirit Pill to hide my cultivation!"
Chu Wanwan spoke the truth.
"They've already ascended to the Immortal Realm?" Si Mingye's cold face was filled with disappointment. The gap between him and Wanwan was widening!
"Brother Crown Prince, what's wrong? Aren't you happy that my cultivation has improved?"
Chu Wanwan looked at Si Mingye with a puzzled expression, noticing his low spirits.
"When do you plan to ascend?" Si Mingye didn't answer Chu Wanwan's question, but continued to ask.
"Three years! After three years, the Hidden Spirit Pill will expire, and I will have finished what I need to do. Then I will have no choice but to ascend!"
Chu Wanwan said firmly!
"Three years? Wanwan, after this matter is settled, I want to cultivate immortality. Can you help me cultivate to the Ascension Realm?"
Si Mingye looked at Chu Wanwan seriously and said.
"Does my brother, the Crown Prince, also want to attain immortality? But Uncle Emperor intends for you to become Emperor!"
Chu Wanwan looked at Si Mingye with some surprise and said.
"I have no interest in the throne! Wanwan, I want to become an immortal!"
Si Mingye said earnestly.
“Brother Crown Prince, there’s nothing wrong with being a mortal! You can be ordinary and not have to carry so much responsibility on your shoulders!” Chu Wanwan didn’t want to help Si Mingye rise in rank; she didn’t want the tragedy of her past life to repeat itself.
She could drain all the demons' magic without any psychological burden, but she didn't want to harm Si Mingye...
