long time and then asked, "You...did you hit your head"I "Ah"ed in surprise, realizing how strange I must have looked in his eyes. I quickly let go of Jiang Qiyun.I didn't want to let go of his hand,...His voice was deep and terrifying, his eyes flickered with ghostly fire, and a female ghost named Mu Mei kept crawling beside him. This scene filled me with such fear that I couldn't breathe.

Mu Yunliang was still talking non-stop: “ ... Every day, they just kept shooting. They were afraid of cold, light, and water; touching water made them vomit uncontrollably. Within a few days, they died. Then, the Huangdao villagers, who had the habit of eating corpses, divided and ate them. In the end, almost everyone was infected. The whole village became like hell on earth… madness, biting, rape, foaming at the mouth, and finally, they all died, leaving only a few survivors who resolutely refused to eat human flesh and hid in the mountains.”

I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to quell the fear: “ … Isn’t this what you deserved”

Mu Yunliang twitched the corner of his mouth: "Self-inflicted I wonder who let a few rabid dogs infected with rabies into the village... You understand This is a clearing operation ordered by those in power. The people of Huangdao Village are not allowed to leave or move around. Those above want to see them destroy themselves."

What does this have to do with me I was terrified and didn't dare speak to him.

He listened for a while, then looked up at me: "Did I scare you No way... I thought you had big guts, after all, you've seen so many big scenes."

He raised a little figure in his hand: "Then I won't scare you anymore, let's begin."

"Start Start what... What do you want to do" I asked, my voice trembling.

He didn't answer me, but instead pointed at the half-bodied female ghost on the ground: "Did you see her Her name is Mu Mei. She's good at confusing people's hearts. She knows you care deeply about the sound of a woman saying 'Your Majesty...' Those four words... Haven't you noticed that she looks familiar"

Familiar How could I be familiar with a half-body ghost girl!

Mu Yunliang said to Mu Mei, "Open your mouth."

The MuMei's mouth gaped open—full of teeth as black as night.

My blood ran cold. She was the female ghost taken away by Hei Wu Chang! Wasn't she imprisoned back in Mi Feng Lin Shi so

"Strange" Mu Yunliang smiled. "This is called separating the soul... When you're alive, you split your soul and refine it with the souls of other things. That way, it's like having two of yourself..."

I shook my head and said, "I don't believe in this sorcery."

"Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter... I just want to help you." Mu Yunliang curled his lips.

"Help me" I thought I misheard. This monster in human skin wants to help me

He leaned in close, forcing me to close my eyes and dodge. "Look... you look so pitiful crying like that... Oh, why is it always you... Such a beautiful girl, so well-behaved, so quiet, so easy to coax... I can't bear to see you hurt."

He raised the little figurine in his hand: "Many people are waiting to take the fetus in your womb and use it as a talisman eye. These hypocritical people always think they are saviors who sacrifice others, using magic to extract a formed fetus from your belly. What a cruel thing... It's better to separate the soul of this child, transfer half of its soul into this figurine, and then send it to the exorcism formation to be the talisman eye. At least it can stabilize the formation for a long time..."

"That way, the child in your belly won't have to die, and can be born safely. Of course, a child born between two realms will not belong anywhere, but it's not a big problem. Just like Mu Mei, she lived well before she died, I wonder how many men she seduced In the end, she was drowned in the river by someone jealous."

He spoke these words with a smile, but I was terrified—this creature was utterly mad.

“In the future, you can still have more children. If each child's soul is separated by half with the Soul Separation technique, the formation could probably be stabilized for several hundred years.”

I burst out laughing in anger: "Mu Yunliang... no, you monster! Thank you for thinking of me, but I just want you to get lost! Stay away from my children!!"

I used all my courage to shout that sentence. As soon as I finished, I regretted it... I should have continued to play around with him, not ripped his face off.

I was brought to this place and I have no idea when I'll be rescued. Will Jiang Qiyun and my brother find out that something happened to me Will they be able to find me Will they... come in time

Mu Yunliang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "Xiao Qiao, have you forgotten what I said There are still some ghosts unwilling to leave on these instruments of torture. In their lifetime, they loved disemboweling and ripping out wombs, eating women and children."

He leaned in closer and whispered, “Don’t ignore my kindness. I went to great lengths for you…”

As soon as his words fell, the wooden demon at his feet suddenly shrieked. It was a screech like that of a mountain goblin or tree monster.

"Someone's crashing the barrier" Mu Yunliang frowned, "It's not even time...tsk, they came too early..."

He pinched a seal with his hands, drawing dots of ethereal light in front of him. Suddenly, many half-transparent ghosts appeared around us, floating towards me one by one.

I closed my eyes and recited the precious scriptures. Sure enough, I only heard the hissing sound of blue smoke. Mu Yunliang's barrier was very powerful; even ghosts couldn't get in, not even the Black and White Impermanence.

Last time, that evil sorcerer's barrier was broken from the inside by my uncle Cheng Su. That's how the Black and White Impermanence were able to rush in.

Mu Yunliang finished drawing a few talismans and smiled at me, "I need to find a place with more Yin Qi to continue—"

He had just finished speaking when he immediately cocked his ear, and I heard it too, something fell in!

Ding, ding, ding——

A very slight metallic clinking sound of stone.

For a fleeting moment, I vaguely heard several voices ringing in my ears——

Heaven and earth, nature's essence dispersed, the cave's profound emptiness, brilliant Taiyuan... Evil dissipated, Tao Qi endures.

A fierce, gusting wind slammed into me, making the scene before my eyes appear to tremble.

Mu Yunliang looked panicked. He muttered a spell in his mouth, drawing talismans around himself for protection.

In the darkness, I saw a figure, his hair like satin, black and billowing, his slender fingers drawing a cold light — he was here! My heart pounded wildly; as long as he came, I wouldn't have to fear Mu Yunliang, that monster, anymore!

I stood up from the ground, wanting to run over, but my hands were locked by chains that twisted back on themselves. Every move I made produced a clanging sound as the chains rattled.

Jiang Qiyun's face was as dark and heavy as the depths of a cold pool. Suddenly, a giant door sprang up from the ground behind him, adorned with ferocious demonic sculptures. Their eyes were vividly alive, seeming to stare right through you.

"Mu Yunliang, should I still call you a monster To actually lay your hands on Mu Xiaoqiao… What kind of punishment do you think you deserve" Jiang Qiyun asked coldly.

Mu Yunliang's face twitched slightly: "…You show too much favoritism to Mu Xiaoqiao, be careful of the heavenly tribulation, Your Majesty."

As he finished speaking, his body began to disappear rapidly. The gate behind Jiang Qiyun swung open, and countless chains flew out from the darkness, dragging the surrounding ghosts toward it. Mu Mei roared on the ground as she was pulled into the door.

I heard the wails of ghosts, and felt a cold wind like blades slashing against my body. I was so frightened that I closed my eyes to hide.

As the enormous sound of a closing door echoed, I opened my eyes.

There wasn't a single ghost left around, and Mu Yunliang had vanished as well.

Only the clouds rise from the river, step by step coming towards me——wouldn't know there were so many little ones here, and that I’d been tricked, I asked Xuan Yue to bring me to find you……” I whispered back.Mù Wǎn Chén let out a soft hum and shook his head. "These lit...
