Tang Nian struggled for a while before slowly speaking.
"Without you, no, without the bloodline of the Chu family, their souls will remain trapped inside their bodies. But I cannot guarantee that releasing them will allow them to enter the underworld for reincarnation."
The King of Hell instructed her that these souls could not enter the underworld.
However, she was not told what to do with souls that cannot enter the underworld.
Tang Nian didn't know why, and she didn't understand why she had anything to worry about, since it wasn't an infected soul.
She has a bold idea, but whether it can be realized depends on reaching that stage.
Thinking of her good-for-nothing elder brothers and Chu Yanjun, who had become the new emperor, Chu Roujia gritted her teeth and agreed.
Let the sins committed by the previous generation end.
"What do I need to do? I know you're telling me now because it's not safe here, right?"
Tang Nian enjoys talking to intelligent people, although sometimes the person in front of her is so intelligent that she can hardly keep up.
"How about this, I think those small villages outside the city are quite nice. Can I wait for you there?"
Chu Roujia smiled and said again, she could also see the predicament of the two people in front of her.
"this……"
Tang Nian pursed her lips and looked at Lou Mu, whose expression was similar to hers.
The room was quiet for a long time before Lou Mu finally spoke, "Alright, I'll take you there."
He waved his hand lightly across the table, and a token appeared on it.
"Take this with you. If anything happens, hold the token up to your mouth and call my name, and we will come to rescue you."
Worried about Chu Roujia, Lou Mu teleported with her to the village entrance.
"Lord Lou, this stop is fine."
Chu Roujia politely declined Lou Mu's offer to take her into the village.
Lou Mu glanced at the still-dark sky, where a faint smell of blood still lingered in the air.
He sighed and, without saying a word, led Chu Roujia to knock on the door.
Hearing the familiar voice, the middle-aged man was a little scared but still mustered up the courage to open the door.
Upon seeing that it was his savior, the kitchen knife he was tightly gripping instantly fell to the ground, and his eyes reddened.
"My benefactor, is there something urgent?"
"I've come here hoping you can take care of her for a while."
As he spoke, Lou Mu turned to the side, revealing Chu Roujia.
Upon seeing Chu Roujia's face, the man was so frightened that he took a step back.
Fortunately, he had seen a lot in his life, and his voice didn't stutter, though it trembled slightly.
"Don't worry, my benefactor, I'll take care of this." He patted his chest.
With someone looking after her, Tang Nian felt at ease.
With that thought in mind, Lou Mu left a silver ingot and hurried back to the inn.
I had just arrived at the inn and hadn't even had a chance to say a word to Tang Nian when there was a knock on the door.
The two exchanged a glance. Lou Mu used magic to transform himself and lay down on the bed, while Tang Nian went to open the door.
"General Lin?" Tang Nian feigned surprise, turning to look out the window. "It's barely dawn. What urgent matter brings you here at this hour?"
"Miss, have you forgotten? We made an appointment yesterday to visit the gentleman in the portrait."
"No, it's just that it's only just dawn..."
“Young lady, if we wait too long, the person might disappear.” Lin Zhenming tried to persuade Tang Nian.
Lin Zhenming's personal guard also advised, "Miss, our men are guarding there. We've already received word that the young master in the painting has packed his bags and is about to leave."
Tang Nian was just putting on an act for a while; she certainly didn't intend to make things difficult for Lin Zhenming.
"Then let's go now."
She appeared anxious and pulled Lou Mu's hand, leading him outside.
Before I even stepped out of the room, I saw a soldier rushing upstairs in a great hurry.
"Report! General, we are about to launch a major attack!"
The two exchanged a glance.
really……
I just didn't expect it to be this kind of excuse.
Lou Mu didn't wait for Lin Zhenming to speak. He released Tang Nian's hand and said to Lin Zhenming, "General Lin, may I go with you?"
He also wanted to see just how formidable the force that made them so terrified was.
"I would be delighted."
This was exactly what Lin Zhenming wanted, and he immediately agreed.
Therefore, Tang Nian could only be accompanied by Lin Zhenming's personal guards.
The two evaded the encirclement of Da Gan and secretly escaped from the city through a secret passage.
The moment Tang Nian emerged from the woods, she turned back and looked towards Yingzhou City.
The walls of Yingzhou City were already ablaze with smoke, and the walls were covered with countless small black dots, which were archers poised to strike.
In the distance, the roars of wild beasts could be heard. Tang Nian looked around for a long time but couldn't see any trace of the monster.
"Young lady, follow this map, this is where that young master is hiding."
The guard handed Tang Nian a hand-drawn map, somewhat anxiously saying, "I'm worried about things inside the city..."
"It's okay, I can manage on my own."
Tang Nian was very magnanimous; she waved her hand and told her guards to hurry back.
As soon as the guards re-entered the secret passage, Tang Nian's smile vanished instantly.
She looked at the detailed map in her hand, snorted coldly, rolled it up, and walked into the depths of the forest.
Even though her connection with Ming Huan was severed, she could still sense some of Ming Huan's presence.
At this moment, she could clearly sense that Ming Huan was not here.
Since they want her to go so badly, then she should go and see what they're really up to.
...
"Who goes there! Show yourself!"
Tang Nian stopped deep in the woods, where the noise from outside Yingzhou City could no longer be heard.
They were getting very close to the place marked on the map, and the increasingly chaotic atmosphere made her very uncomfortable.
Her words seemed to sink without a trace.
The hand that clenched its fist emitted a blue light.
She looked around, and suddenly, she looked up.
She saw the wooden puppet hanging from the treetop, facing her directly. Its carved smile stretched to its ears, and even though it only had two holes in its eyes, Tang Nian could still see malice in them.
She reacted quickly, falling backward and sliding along the ground, kicking up fallen leaves.
At the same time, puppets fell from the tree and landed right where Tang Nian had just been standing.
The puppet was wrapped in strands of silver thread, which shimmered in the early sunlight.
Before Tang Nian could even think, the puppet moved.
With their limbs stiff, they danced and ran toward Tang Nian.
Tang Nian blasted the puppet away with a single palm strike.
She drew her longsword with a backhand motion, and the sword trembled slightly in her hand.
Tang Nian raised an eyebrow, wondering if the sword was somewhat dissatisfied with her.
She didn't tolerate it and threw it directly. The longsword flew straight towards the puppet, but it didn't even scratch a speck of wood.
But in the next moment, after a sharp turn in the air, several flashes of light appeared, and the puppet rushing towards Tang Nian instantly stopped in place.
Then, it was as if it had fallen apart and was scattered on the ground.
The longsword returned to Tang Nian's hand, and it even tried to rub against Tang Nian's face affectionately, but Tang Nian shoved it back into its sheath.
She stepped forward, squatted down, and picked up the silver threads still wrapped around the puppet, her eyes dark and unsettling.
She was very familiar with those silver threads.
