Lantao River, among the reeds.

Green Girl, whose face was pale and almost transparent, held Red Girl's arm and gritted her teeth as she looked at the Sky Ghost followers who were jumping and cheering wildly on the other side of the river.

They erected a tall wooden pole, on which was propped a wooden statue of an evil ghost as big as a water tank. Thousands of Heavenly Ghost followers sang eerie songs, chanted the slogan "Evil ghosts from heaven will purify the world", and neatly stacked the heads of people who died with their eyes open under the pole.

No one knew what secret method these Tiangui followers used when they chopped off the heads of the slaughtered civilians.

Chu Tian and his companions saw that the bodies of these civilians shrank in a hurry, and only their heads became red and translucent, like balloons filled with plasma.

A man wearing a ghost mask and holding a long blood-colored incense stick jumped and prayed under the wooden pole for a while. Then wisps of sparkling blood and essence gushed out from the seven orifices of those bright red human heads and were swallowed up by the evil ghost statues on the wooden pole.

After a quarter of an hour, the tens of thousands of heads that had been chopped off became withered and shrunken. The man with the ghost mask then let out a long howl, twitching all over like a madman and screaming loudly: "My sons, enjoy the blood meal! The evil ghosts have come to the world, kill all the filth, burn all the filth, and only we, the devout believers, can be rich and healthy!"

Thousands of Heavenly Ghost followers cheered in unison. They gathered around the heads and took deep breaths. Strands of blood-colored energy continued to flow out of the seven orifices of the heads and were swallowed by the Heavenly Ghost followers. The heads quickly shrank and decayed, and eventually turned into a pool of gray ashes.

The laughter was deafening, and the green light in the eyes of these Tiangui followers became stronger, and their energy and blood power increased a lot.

A long howl was heard, and nearly a hundred Heavenly Ghost Cultists devoured enough blood and essence to break through and become Earth-grade masters on the spot. They jumped happily on the spot, each of them jumped up to a height of more than ten feet, and when they swung their swords in the air, a faint light flashed in front of the blades.

A vulture with gray ghost energy wrapped all over its body suddenly landed from the sky. A Heavenly Ghost Cultist rolled down from the vulture's back and rushed to the man wearing the ghost mask with great excitement.

"Master of Incense, Master of Incense, find another valley where those filthy bitches are hiding. At a glance, there are at least 70,000 or 80,000 people. 70,000 or 80,000 people! The filthy bitches from Taohuazhuang, Taoyezhuang, Taoruizhuang, and a dozen or so villages nearby must have all hidden there."

The incense master wearing a ghost mask danced with joy and laughed: "No wonder we couldn't find them, they all hid. However, the evil ghosts from heaven are coming to purify the world, they are destined to be purified, where can they escape to?"

Holding the long wooden pole in both hands, the Ghost-faced Incense Master roared loudly, and led thousands of crazy Sky Ghost followers, howling all the way and running wildly following the vultures that took off into the sky.

Lu Gu coughed lightly, turned around, and nodded slowly to Chu Tian: "Do what you want to do. The purpose of establishing Dayu Temple is to correct the laws of Dajin and protect the world of Dajin. These Tiangui followers can be killed by anyone. You, just go ahead and do it."

Chu Tian clasped his fists and bowed to Lu Gu, then turned around and shouted to Agou, Aque, and more than a hundred men standing behind him: "Brothers, I will take you to kill the beasts. Those who are afraid of death, stay behind."

No one moved, only Ah Gou stuck out his tongue and licked the corner of his mouth: "Brother Tian, ​​my stick is lost, you have to find me a big stick."

“I will!” Chu Tian punched Agou in the chest, turned around and bowed deeply to Hong Gu: “Hong Gu, I’ll leave Lu Gu in your care.”

Hong Gu gently waved her hand and sighed heavily: "Go, you all, be careful."

Hong Gu opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't utter a word. Her originally pretty face suddenly became much more haggard, and her whole energy seemed to have drained away completely in an instant.

Chu Tian looked at Hong Gu deeply.

Eighteen years ago, she was the wife of Lu Gu's eldest brother; for eighteen years, hatred has supported her to this day; alien races attacked, the Heavenly Ghost Cult rose up, and she wanted to continue to investigate the truth of eighteen years ago, clear the injustice for the Du family, and avenge Lu Gu's eldest brother Du Yu, but it seemed almost impossible.

Without the strong will for revenge to support her, Hong Gu seemed to have aged twenty years in just a few days.

Chu Tian said in a deep voice: "Hong Gu, if there is a chance, I will bring Chu Jie to you. Everyone wants to know the truth about what happened back then."

Gritting his teeth, Chu Tian turned and left.

Agou, Aque, and more than a hundred fully armed burly men followed Chu Tian and left quickly. When everyone passed by Lu Gu and Hong Gu, they bowed deeply to the two women.

Chu Tian strode forward, his heart in turmoil, not knowing how to fulfill his promise to Hong Gu.

Is it really possible to capture Chu Jie alive and bring him to Hong Gu?

Has Chu Jie been possessed by an evil spirit from another race?

Or, is he still the real Chu Jie?

Chu Tian knew that Chu Jie was his brother from the same mother. He even clearly remembered the feeling of his extremely tender little hands gently touching Chu Jie's equally tender little face when he was in the womb.

He clearly remembered the feeling of his heartbeat and Chu Jie's heartbeat beating at the same frequency.

He clearly remembered the strange feeling of blood and flesh blending together every time he touched Chu Jie's cheek out of curiosity and playfulness.

If Chu Jie has been possessed by an evil spirit, he is no longer Chu Jie and can be killed.

If Chu Jie is still the real Chu Jie, then how should Hong Gu explain this?

Chu Tian walked in the reeds with big strides, his steps were light, and he didn't touch even a single reed. His heart was heavy, but the cautiousness of his actions was already engraved in his bones.

Lu Gu is not wealthy, and Chu Tian knows very well that the resources that Lu Gu can control are extremely limited.

After her family was destroyed, she was able to take a few loyal old retainers to Minzhou to establish an iron-blooded training camp and train a group of trusted subordinates. This was already the limit of what Lu Gu could do with the resources in her hands.

Chu Tian knew very well how much he and his team had gained over the years.

He also knew that the value of the pills that Hong Gu lazily threw into the medicine bottle to him every time was so great that they could not get anything in return from the rewards they paid.

Chu Tian, ​​Agou and Aque all used the secret mental method passed down by Fox Old to conceal their true cultivation level. Every time Hong Gu threw the elixir into Chu Tian's hands, she would tell them with a hint of anger and concern that they should practice hard and not be easily beaten to death.

Strangely enough, what Chu Tian felt from Hong Gu was a kind of 'motherly' care.

"I'm really out of my mind!"

Chu Tian cursed in anger.
