Starfall Town.

Chang family.

In the master's courtyard.

In that spacious and luxurious room, the doors and windows were still covered with black cloth, and there was not a trace of light.

Butler Lu walked into the room and bowed to the girl who was also hidden by the black curtain:

"There is still no news about the Patriarch, the Fourth Patriarch, and the Fifth Patriarch."

**A sharp, hoarse voice came: "Have you sent anyone to look for it?"

Steward Lu said, "We have sent a messenger to look for them. We found out that the fourth and fifth patriarchs entered Qin Gengyun's home in Yunling Town a month ago and have never come out since."

"What?!"

A black aura visible to the naked eye surged out from behind the black curtain and transformed into a giant black beast with four horns on its head. It opened its bloody mouth and looked extremely terrifying.

Butler Lu was sweating profusely and tried his best to maintain a bowing posture, not daring to move.

After a moment, the giant beast formed by the black spiritual energy disappeared, and the room finally returned to calm. The hoarse voice sounded again:

"Where's the Qitian Stick?"

Steward Lu shuddered and quickly replied, "The four family heads took them into the Qin family, and then they lost contact with the artifact shrine."

Divine weapons have spirits, and most of them are arrogant. Unless they meet a master they recognize, they will not be controlled.

If some people with insufficient cultivation are lucky enough to obtain a divine artifact, they will use the artifact shrine to establish a connection with the artifact, which can be used for the purpose of appeasement. In this way, they can temporarily control the artifact, and then slowly subdue it after their cultivation is improved.

Two hundred years ago, the Chang family accidentally obtained the Qitian Stick, and they spent resources to build a shrine for the artifact. Several sons of the Chang family entered to try it out.

In the end, it was Chang Yunzi who successfully established a connection with the artifact shrine by using the Qitian Stick and reluctantly became the new owner of the Qitian Stick.

With the artifact shrine, even if Chang Yunzi encounters danger outside, the artifact shrine can recall the Qitian Stick so that it will not be lost.

But what he didn't expect was that this time, both he and his stick were trapped in Yunling Town.

"How could this be?!"

The voice behind the black curtain was furious. To the Chang family, Chang Yunzi's life was far less important than the magic weapon.

Steward Lu hurriedly said, "Master, why don't you ask the Second Master to come over?"

**After a moment of silence, he slowly said in a hoarse voice: "I will be completing my magical power soon, and I need the second brother to protect me. Let's put this matter aside for now. When I succeed, I will go and meet Qin Gengyun in person."

Steward Lu said happily: "The master of the family will soon achieve divine power, and our Chang family will have hope of prosperity!"

"hehe."

**laughed hoarsely and piercingly, then continued:

"Go to the dungeon. I need two people this time. One must have the energy to breed, and the other must have the body of a child."

"Yes, I'll go get him right away!"

At this moment, in the Chang family dungeon.

"Ah! It hurts so much, I, I can't take it anymore!"

"Sister Yueying, use more force, use more force!"

"Oh no, Sister Yueying is dying!"

A pregnant female cultivator was lying on the ground, about to give birth, screaming in pain.

After these female cultivators were captured, their cultivation was sealed with poison by the Chang family. The pregnant woman named Yueying had a weak constitution and could hardly endure the pain of childbirth.

At this moment, her whole body was limp, her eyes turned slightly white, and she no longer had much strength left.

Several female practitioners nearby surrounded her, calling her name worriedly and anxiously.

These female nuns were imprisoned for more than a month, living together day and night, snuggling together for warmth in their fear and panic, and their feelings grew deeper and deeper, and they all became sisters.

Seeing Yueying was about to collapse, many people's eyes were red.

"Sister Yueying, think about your husband and the child in your belly. Don't give up!"

At this time, a tall and slender figure came forward and held the pregnant woman's hand. She was a little thin, and her white robe was covered with dark red whip marks and blood, but her pale face was firm and her voice was full of power.

Soon, a trace of imperceptible spiritual power flowed into the pregnant woman's body, and she finally opened her eyes, screaming loudly while continuing to exert force.

For a moment, shrill howls and clear, powerful voices of encouragement resounded throughout the dungeon.

Outside the cell, several vicious jailers looked at each other, but ultimately did not shout as usual.

Half an incense stick later, followed by a loud baby cry, a joyful voice rang out in the cell:

"Sister Yueying, it's done!"

"What a beautiful child!"

"Xiaolan, thanks to you this time!"

Mo Xiaolan picked up the baby girl and brought her to the sweaty mother, smiling like an orchid:

"Sister Yueying, it's a girl."

The nun took her daughter in her arms, a pleased and happy smile on her face.

"My child..."

Noila Mo helped her sit up and said with a smile, “Sister Yueying, can you give the child a name?”

"Yes, this child is in prison, she will have great fortune in the future. Sister Yueying, please give her a name!"

The other female practitioners also started chattering. In fact, they all knew that they were in this cannibalistic dungeon and were afraid that they would not be able to escape.

But the birth of this baby girl inexplicably gave them a glimmer of hope.

As long as you live one more day, you may have a better chance of escaping.

Yueying brushed her sweat-soaked bangs and looked down at her daughter with loving eyes:

"My husband's last name is Luo. This child was born in prison. Thanks to the help of sister Xiaolan, we will call her Luo Yulan."

"The word '玉' replaces the word '狱'. This is a good name!"

"Xiao Yulan, I'm your godmother."

"I want to be Xiao Yulan's godmother too!"

The female practitioners laughed and rushed to hold the baby girl.

At this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

Everyone immediately quieted down.

After being in this prison for many days, they have already understood very well that once someone comes in, it means that one of them will be chosen to be the training furnace of the Chang family's patriarch.

Those who were selected and eliminated before have not been able to come back, so their fate can be imagined.

All the female practitioners fell silent, quietly hiding in the corner and lowering their heads to avoid being noticed by Butler Lu.

Yueying held her newborn daughter in her arms and quickly squatted down, not daring to look up.

The footsteps stopped in front of the cell. Steward Lu glanced inside and suddenly pointed at the child in Yueying's arms and asked the jailer:

"Where did this baby come from?"

The jailer hurried forward to report: "Butler Lu, this is a newborn baby girl."

Housekeeper Lu laughed: "The master just ordered that one person should be the Qi for pregnancy and the other person should be the Yin for the child. Isn't this just right?"

Yueying shuddered when she heard this. Butler Lu had already ordered, "Bring the mother and daughter out and present them to the master of the house."

“No, no!”

Yueying hid in the corner holding the child. Two prison guards came over. One of them lifted her up, while the other took the baby girl away and walked out of the cell.

"My child, my child! I will go with you, please let my child go!!"

Yueying cried and begged until her voice became hoarse.

All the female cultivators were in tears, watching this scene in horror.

At this time, a tall and slender figure blocked the door of the cell. Her face was pale, but her voice was clear and powerful:

"You want the child's essence. I have never been married. I am nineteen this year. I should be able to meet the requirements of your master, the furnace tripod. If you let the child go, I will go with you."
