This sound was not one that a human could make; it seemed to be the manifestation of the will of heaven and earth, as if some transcendent being had descended upon this world.
The once arrogant Lord of Slaughter was now prostrate on the ground, trembling all over. Its expression was one of utter panic as it pondered, "How could there be such a powerful being, especially one that could be summoned by such a weak woman? This doesn't make sense."
At this moment, Qiu Honglei raised her head and looked at the pair of eyes in the void, and bravely said, "It is I who am summoning you."
Those eyes stared at Qiu Honglei for a long time: "Hmm, not bad, that dance just now was indeed wonderful. I haven't seen such a beautiful sacrificial dance to heaven and earth in a long time. Is there anything you want from me?"
Qiu Honglei replied respectfully, "Our world has been invaded by a powerful monster that does not belong here. We are unable to deal with it, and we hope that you can help us eliminate it and restore peace to our world."
Upon hearing this, the Lord of Slaughter was terrified; this woman was truly ruthless.
At this point, it didn't bother to explain itself and immediately turned and ran. It only had one thought in mind: to get as far away from this terrifying being as possible.
Its speed is extremely fast; now, when it escapes for its life, it is almost as fast as lightning, disappearing into a tiny dot in the wind and snow in the blink of an eye.
Qiu Hong's eyes were filled with worry. If this guy got away, they would all be doomed if they encountered him again.
At this moment, the mysterious being in the air grunted, "So it's this little thing, but it's certainly not something your world can handle."
As they were talking, the Lord of Slaughter suddenly appeared in front of everyone. It was still running desperately, and looking at the taut muscles on its body, it was clear that it was using all its strength.
However, it didn't realize that after running for half a day, it had returned to the same place. From the perspective of Zuan and the others, it was completely standing still, but it didn't feel anything at all.
"How on earth did this happen?" Zuan was shocked. The scene before him was beyond his comprehension. Moreover, he hadn't seen the mysterious being make any move at all. The Lord of Slaughter had been captured and brought back here in the blink of an eye.
Just then, a change occurred to the Lord of Slaughter. It continued to run tirelessly, but its flesh and blood were melting away at a visible speed.
Previously, Zaun and the Snow Maiden had attacked it countless times, yet it seemed unaffected. However, now, influenced by some unknown force, it has melted away like ice and snow.
Soon, the flesh and blood of the Lord of Slaughter completely disappeared, leaving only a skeleton. It finally realized something was wrong, looked down, let out a strange cry, and then the entire skeleton turned to ashes, disappearing with the wind without leaving a trace.
Zuan: "..."
He was deeply shaken. In recent days, he had felt that he was already very powerful, and even when facing these extraterrestrial demons, he felt that he had the strength to fight them.
Only now did he realize how ignorant he had been, and how true power could reach such a level.
At this moment, the mysterious being in the sky spoke again: "I think you are quite pleasing to the eye, little girl. Why don't you come back with me and become my maid? You can dance for me often."
In his view, this was an incredible opportunity and a blessing. Countless holy maidens and goddesses from all the empires in the universe would not have such an opportunity, and the other party should be so excited that they would faint.
To everyone's surprise, Qiu Honglei slowly shook her head: "Thank you for your kindness, but I will only dance for one man in my entire life."
Although Zu An was touched, he couldn't help but worry about him. Just as he was about to say something, the mysterious being sighed softly: "That's a pity."
Having been rejected once given his status and position, he naturally wouldn't persist in asking again.
"Now that I have answered your prayer, you should offer a sacrifice according to the rules. You could have been exempted from this by agreeing to be my maid, which is a real pity."
The sound was calm and could be heard gradually fading away. The eye in the sky slowly closed, and soon the gathered clouds dispersed, and the terrifying pressure between heaven and earth was gone.
"That's it?" Zu An was stunned and hurriedly ran to Qiu Honglei, wondering what the mysterious being meant by the sacrifice.
Upon seeing his arrival, Qiu Honglei gave him a beautiful smile, the most poignant and heartbreaking smile Zu An had ever seen in his life.
Almost simultaneously, Qiu Honglei seemed to weather away, her body gradually disappearing into the world.
"No!" Zuan wanted to hug her, but dared not touch her, fearing that he would shatter and disappear her completely in an instant.
Just then, a series of cool lights shone from the side, and a Pure Ice Lotus suddenly bloomed beside Qiu Honglei, enveloping her body.
Qiu Honglei's body, which was on the verge of collapse, seemed to be frozen, forcibly stopping the process.
It turns out that from the very beginning, the Snow Woman had been performing a secret technique by forming hand seals, successfully saving Qiu Honglei's life.
"Thank you..." Zuan was both surprised and delighted. He was about to thank Xue Nu when he suddenly froze. He realized that although Qiu Honglei's body had stopped collapsing, Xue Nu's body was beginning to gradually break down.
“Azu, don’t be sad. I just asked her if she was willing to sacrifice her life for you, and she said yes.” Xue Nu smiled. “Even these fox spirits are willing, so how could I, as her wife, not be? Maybe she was just cursing me for using tricks to kill her.”
She certainly wouldn't be so selfish as to send Qiu Honglei to her death; she just wanted to test him.
She was prepared from the beginning to bear the consequences in place of the other person, and she happened to have a secret technique that could transfer the cause and effect on the other person to herself.
