This time, without any members of the Shangguan family interfering, Shangguan Liuyue focused solely on dealing with the people from the Mirage Tower. He transformed into a streak of green light and charged into the crowd.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Meng Wanwan flew to Helian Xiao's side: "Uncle, can this thing be interrupted?"
Meng Wanwan understood why Helian Xiao had made his move. The fact that the Han family was holding such a ceremony in front of the Shangguan family and the Mirage Tower was undoubtedly a further breach of the minimum standards for cultivators in the Nine Realms.
Without constraints, there would certainly be more absurdities in the world.
Koyama Yu must stop this.
Helian Xiao shook his head: "I'm afraid it won't work. Once we're sure it won't work, we'll find a chance to leave. The Han family wants to drag other aristocratic families, sects, and Xiaoshanyou into this, just to use them as scapegoats. If this matter goes smoothly, then this kind of thing will definitely happen again and again in the future."
"Therefore, I must pass this on so that my father can handle it."
Therefore, his first step was to stop this bizarre ritual.
If all else fails, leave quickly; sending a message is the priority.
However, Granny Han had already anticipated this.
Her strength has been hidden all along, and it is much higher than Helian Xiao's. Even though Helian Xiao is talented, crossing an entire major realm is not so easy.
Granny Han reached out her hand, and suddenly a large black hand appeared in the space, grabbing at Meng Wanwan and Helian Xiao.
Helian Xiao dragged Meng Wanwan backward, shouting as he dodged, "Young Master Shangguan, can we stop this ridiculous ritual?"
With a light tap of her fan, Shangguan Liuyue sent Chiyun flying like a cannonball.
He turned to look at Helian Xiao, then shook his head: "I forgot, but you can try."
Helian Xiao was dumbfounded: "Try it? How do I try it?"
Shangguan Liuyue shook her head again: "I don't know."
Helian Xiao gritted his teeth. Isn't that obvious?
However, Shangguan Liuyue was quite loyal. After sweeping away Chi Yun, she directly confronted Granny Han and rescued Helian Xiao.
He smiled and said, "Alright, now you can slowly think of a solution."
Meng Wanwan then turned to help deal with the rest of the Mirage members, where several members of the Meng family were fighting a fierce battle.
Helian Xiao glanced at the greatsword in his hand, gritted his teeth, and plunged it fiercely into the molten lava.
"hack!"
Helian Xiao roared and slashed the molten lava pool with his greatsword, which was wrapped in a hurricane. A hurricane immediately swept across the surface of the molten lava pool.
However, to his disappointment, the lava did not move at all.
Helian Xiao frowned.
However, before he could think any further, a sharp arrow shot out from the lava and pierced his forehead.
Helian Xiao's pupils shrank sharply, and he barely managed to dodge the arrow by crawling on the ground in a very disheveled state.
At the same time, Granny Han's loud laughter immediately echoed throughout the entire cave.
"It's done! It's done! The Lianli Corpse, hahahahahaha..."
Everyone turned around quickly, but it was too late.
Countless arrows shot out from the molten lava pool, heading towards everyone present.
Meng Wanwan quickly erected a barrier, keeping all the Meng family members behind it.
Chu You dragged Helian Xiao back, stumbling and crawling.
Those who couldn't block the arrows were instantly turned into pools of blood, which seeped into the ground, turning that patch of soil black.
On that patch of black soil, a white stone statue stood out prominently.
Seeing this, Meng Wanwan immediately understood what was going on with the land outside.
That... that vast expanse of black soil, was actually made from countless people?
Not only them, but clearly others also understood something.
This time, even Chi Yun, who had just climbed back, was stunned.
Granny Han said helplessly, "Originally, I didn't need to be in such a hurry. The evil energy buried in the black soil all over the mountains was enough for me to refine a pair of conjoined corpses. Unfortunately, Young Master Helian insisted on stopping me."
"Since you insist on stopping it, I have no choice but to ask for your help."
Arrows made of raging fire swept across every corner of the cave, and as more and more people were hit, the once calm pool of lava began to bubble.
The bubble grew larger and larger, and then something resembling a tree branch slowly emerged.
"Look, what's coming out?" someone exclaimed.
People looked towards the pool and saw that the lower end of the branch was not a tree trunk, but a hand.
That hand, as smooth as white jade, held the branch that grew from its fingertips and slowly raised it upwards in a very alluring gesture.
Then there's its arm.
"The head, the head is out!"
A head rested against an arm, as if asleep, slowly emerging from the molten lava.
That head had distinct facial features, unlike Han Fei or Han Chao.
Its head was bald, without hair, and as white as its skin.
Its eyes were closed, but its lips seemed to be wearing a gentle smile.
The other hand gently tapped the shoulder of the raised arm and floated up in a very peaceful manner.
And the fingertips of this hand are also in the form of branches and leaves.
Next came its chest, waist, legs...
It's like a beautiful young woman in her prime, with a captivating figure.
However, because the skin all over the body was as if it were covered in mud, even though it had a shape, it lacked any vitality.
Granny Han looked at "it" standing on the lava with madness in her eyes.
"It's a success! The Lianli Corpse has succeeded! Hahaha, all the planning by the patriarch wasn't in vain..."
Looking at the quiet "it" with its eyes closed, Meng Wanwan felt a wave of nausea spreading through her.
abnormal!
Neuropathy!
What is this thing?! How could they possibly make something like this?!
Not only her, but everyone present couldn't help but get goosebumps when they looked at "it".
"What's going on? Something feels off." Chu You rubbed his arm.
Yun Zhao raised his hand to look at the hairs standing on the back of his hand, confirming that his feeling was correct.
Looking at the few disciples remaining around him, Chi Yun was utterly enraged: "Granny Han, what kind of rubbish did you refine? You actually made my Mirage Tower disciples use it as nourishment!"
Everyone looked at Chi Yun.
This Master Chiyun is truly flexible and adaptable; despite the deaths of so many of his disciples, he only questions them.
It's easy to imagine what good things the Han family promised him.
Granny Han gazed at the peacefully sleeping "it" with fascination, and whispered, "It...it's called the Lianli Corpse."
Granny Han circled the pool, seemingly wanting to take a good look at the so-called "conjoined corpses".
Shangguan Liuyue felt as if something had stabbed his head, causing him to wince in pain.
However, it was quickly covered up.
Meng Wanwan kept thinking about popular science.
"The Twin Corpse is one of the ancient secret techniques. Legend has it that when the ancient god was human, he expanded his territory, gathered his people, and conquered the world. Later, his people died in battle. The heavens issued a divine decree that his people could be refined into Twin Corpses, tempering their bloodline power and burning their primordial spirit to create an immortal body. The ancient god opened up the path to immortality, established the Heavenly Dao, and built divine miracles, but because of the Twin Corpses, he was imprisoned in the Endless Heaven, suffering eternal tribulations of lightning, and never released."
