"No way you can go!"

The voice of Gu Niang was sinister and full of resentment. Although Ji Tong had basically confirmed Ying Wuji's sincerity, she had never believed anyone around Ji Tong except herself, including Nangong Yan, who Ji Tong doted on so much.

Because in this world, only she was truly loyal to the leader.

Nangong Yan's abnormal behavior was so obvious, not to mention Ying Wuji?

Gu Niang had never let her guard down against Ying Wuji, and she had been observing the situation on the battlefield all along. The current environment was not suitable for observation, but her perception was quite keen. Even if she couldn't see the whole picture, she could still figure out the general situation.

Something was very wrong!

Ying Wuji turned around, looking at her with an extremely calm gaze. "You are not willing to exchange cards with me. We have no choice but to go to our deaths. Now there is an opportunity for negotiation to save our lives. Why should I give up?"

"Negotiation?"

Gu Niang sneered, "Is it negotiation, or surrender?"

Ying Wuji chuckled, "Is the rain too heavy, making you lose your mind? Before being tricked by your leader, I was the Great Li's son-in-law, the chief priest of the academy, and the head of the four thousand elite troops of the Bai family. Is it not good enough for me to stay honestly in the son-in-law's mansion? Do I still need to surrender to the Great Li?"

Gu Niang: "..."

Although she was quite suspicious of Ying Wuji's motives, there seemed to be nothing wrong with what he said.

But she showed no intention of lowering the sword in her hand.

Ying Wuji sneered, "Do you not believe me?"

"How can I trust you?"

Gu Niang's voice was cold. "Look at how many of our people have died on this journey, and how many from your Bai family?"

Ying Wuji nodded slightly, instantly understanding that Gu Niang's perception was not as terrifying as he had thought. He felt a little embarrassed to tell her that not a single one of his people had died.

He snorted, "The promise your leader made to us was to safely send our Bai family out at all costs. Is there a problem with me trying to minimize the losses for our Bai family according to the agreement?"

It seemed like there was no problem.

But Gu Niang still persisted, "What makes you so sure that this negotiation will definitely yield results?"

Ying Wuji coldly snorted, "Nonsense! I have more resources at my disposal now. Why else would the Great Li seek negotiations with me? If your cards could send all of us from the Bai family out, do I need to take such a big risk? This is all the consequence of your incompetence. Now you're questioning why I want to negotiate. Aren't you embarrassing your leader?"

Gu Niang: "..."

At this point, the summoner from the Kingdom Li was getting impatient. "Young master, don't make it difficult for me! His Majesty asked me to count to three, and I've been delaying it. Now I have to count! Three, two..."

"Got it, I'm coming over right away! You keep nagging, so annoying! Damn it!"

Ying Wuji cursed impatiently, and the summoner immediately shut up.

"Wuji, are you really going?"

Hua Chao approached with a worried look. "Although our situation is not good right now, we may still have the strength to fight. The Great Li is deceiving you into going over now, and if something happens to you..."

"Don't worry!"

Ying Wuji comforted her with a hug. "If that's the case, I am confident that I can escape back."

With that, he discreetly placed a wooden figure in Hua Chao's arms.

Hua Chao calmly tucked away the wooden figure.

Her tone was still full of concern, with a hint of sobbing, "But I'm afraid!"

Ying Wuji smiled and patted her cheek. "It's okay, your mother and the others are here to protect you! Be good..."

"Okay..."

Hua Chao responded softly, reluctantly returning to the Bai family's camp.

Ying Wuji's tone turned harsh, "Gu Niang! If I really can't come back, according to your promise, protect my family well. Otherwise, your leader won't get any benefits from the Tianren Clan!"

With that, he left directly.

Gu Niang was still struggling in her heart, but she felt like there was nothing wrong with the situation.

She had seen Ying Wuji's performance all along the way, always protecting his family. This person might deceive the leader, but he would never deceive his own family.

His negotiation over there might not be foolproof.

But his family was in her hands.

Although the Bai family was strong, they only had less than a thousand people, and the remaining three thousand five hundred were all new recruits.

Wasn't it easy for her to control them?

So she did not stop Ying Wuji.

In fact, Ying Wuji had no intention of caring whether she stopped him or not.

As he was leaving, he turned around and said, "If I manage to escape back later, I hope you will immediately exchange information with me, and don't make a joke of the alliance between me and Ji Tong."

With that, he left directly.

Gu Niang's face darkened, but she finally took in Ying Wuji's words.

Indeed, they could not afford to have internal conflicts. All of these were the leader's power.

While Ying Wuji went to negotiate, they finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Although these black-armored warriors were fearless, their physical strength had indeed decreased significantly.

As for the people of their clan, they were even worse off, as their morale had dropped a lot due to the feelings of oppression and fear. They needed to boost their morale.

If the Bai family really had a trump card, they might be able to preserve their strength to the greatest extent.

"Little Gu Yao?"

A voice sounded.

Gu Niang's face showed some impatience as she turned to see that it was Ying Wuji's birth mother, Bai Yi.

Unhappily, she said, "Watch your words!"

Bai Yi smiled faintly, "There are millions of demons in this world, and it is not easy to cultivate into a great demon with the body of a gu insect. At least in my thousands of years of experience in the Bai family, there are less than five who have become demons with the body of a gu. So I think, one should not put oneself in danger because of some unfounded suspicions."

Gu Niang sneered, "If Ying Wuji has ulterior motives and I let him go, it would put the leader in danger. Compared to that, I would rather take on the danger!"

Bai Yi exclaimed in amazement, "I never thought that a gu demon like you could be so righteous and loyal!"

Gu Niang did not reply. Her bond with the leader was not something an outsider could understand.Bai Yi chuckled softly, "But this level of vigilance is really unnecessary. Your Gu Yao has always been good at sensing emotions. Can't you tell anything from the emotions of our Bai family?"

Gu Niang remained silent.

The fact was indeed so.

Ying Wuji had always been somewhat hesitant, perhaps because the Bai family's trump card would come at a great cost.

Bai Yi and Hua Chao, the two people closest to Ying Wuji, were shrouded in deep worry.

The people of the Bai clan were both angry and frustrated, clearly wanting to have a good fight with the Zhao clan, but due to Ying Wuji's suppression, they could only defend passively.

A quick look at "pawread dot com" will leave you more fulfilled.

As for those Bai clan disciples, they were all confused and obviously did not understand why they suddenly fled and were then pursued by their compatriots.

All of these reactions were extremely normal.

Even Ying Wuji's decision to leave just now carried a kind of tragic emotion in his chest.

Gu Niang was somewhat suspicious that her vigilance was baseless.

Bai Yi sighed lightly, "In fact, we should be the last people to become enemies. The Bai family wants to escape, and you also want to help us escape. But we are deeply trapped and yet we are on guard against each other. Isn't that harming ourselves?"

To be honest, we of the Bai family were just busy protecting ourselves just now. If we really fought against the Zhao clan, even if we couldn't win, we could still pose a great threat to them.

If you really have a trump card, let's share it. At least we can have a slight advantage!"

Gu Niang struggled with her expression.

Finally, she said, "Fine! I'll tell you!"

Then she explained her plan.

After listening, Bai Yi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.

...

"Lord, please come with me!"

The summoner saw Ying Wuji coming over and immediately made a gesture of invitation.

The attitude was very respectful.

But it was impossible to tell if there was goodwill or ill will.

Ying Wuji nodded slightly, "Thank you!"

Following the summoner, Ying Wuji went up the mountain and soon arrived at the camp.

The location was not much different from what he had imagined, after all, it was a small stronghold that controlled both the natural and the supernatural.

Even if he couldn't fully utilize it for the time being and understand the mysteries of the formation, it was not difficult for him.

Now it seemed that the old man's move did not exceed the scope of the skills themselves, but was only the top-level application of the two skills in combination.

Even so, it could achieve such a terrifying effect, which was really not easy.

Just this move alone was enough to learn well.

"Step!"

Ying Wuji finally stepped onto the dry ground, feeling sticky and uncomfortable. He activated his true energy to dry his hair and clothes.

Then he walked to the front of the big tent and said loudly, "Father, I'm here."

"Okay! Come in!"

Zhao Ji's voice came from inside the tent, sounding somewhat weak, and it was impossible to tell his mood.

Ying Wuji did not immediately step forward, because at this moment, he felt a bit "timid in front of his father."

He didn't know what kind of look Zhao Ji would give him when he opened the curtain.

But in the end, he had to come to a conclusion.

He took a deep breath and pushed aside the curtain, walking in with big steps.

As soon as he entered the tent, he met Zhao Ji's calm and indifferent eyes.

But he quickly noticed Zhao Ning, who was covered in blood, severely injured and fainted, hanging next to him.

A surge of anger rushed out of his heart, causing his temples to throb.

He quickly ran to Zhao Ning's side, probed her body with true energy, and made sure that she was not fundamentally injured, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

But he was the top executioner who had personally carried out the Qianyu Nine Tortures.

How could he not see what kind of torture Zhao Ning had suffered?

This injury.

At least two sets of Qianyu Nine Tortures.

This kind of punishment would not cause fundamental harm, but it would bring extreme pain that many high-level martial artists could not bear.

If the will was slightly weaker, it was possible to collapse mentally after just one round.

What mistake had she made to receive such punishment?

He quickly activated the Blooming Flowers technique and sent a warm and nurturing true energy into her dantian before taking a step forward.

"What do you mean by this?"

"What do I mean? Don't you know what I mean?" Zhao Ji's tone was very calm, looking at Ying Wuji with a smile that was not a smile. "When you instigated Ning'er to contact Han You for you, and sneaked into the royal treasury to steal the Zhenzhang Formation, you should have been able to anticipate today's result, right?"

Ying Wuji's eyes twitched, "You said she contacted Han You, where is Han You? And what is the Zhenzhang Formation? I don't know anything about it. You don't know anything..."

Zhao Ji waved his hand to interrupt, "So are you saying that she took the initiative to commit treason for you? Should I praise you for being so charming that even a prince is willing to betray his country for you?"

Ying Wuji was filled with anger, "What do you mean by treason? I treated Ning'er sincerely, and she naturally treated me sincerely. Why should I be accused of 'treason'? Even if I did ask her to help me get out of trouble and she was willing to help me, what's wrong with that? Just because you have royal status, you can easily betray the people, but you won't allow the people to betray you?"

These words seemed to make Zhao Ji somewhat emotional.

But he still smiled faintly, "Do you really think that under royal power, it's a place for personal feelings? Throughout history, there have been many kings who have exploited their subjects. Why can't there be one more? "

Ying Wuji did not reply. He just felt that his chest was about to explode, his whole body was restless, and he was on the verge of breaking through at any moment.

Zhao Ji looked down at him from a high vantage point, "I don't like the look in your eyes. Are you blaming me for having ill intentions towards you, or are you blaming me for interfering with Ning'er?"

Ying Wuji snorted, "Your heart is hard to fathom. If you have the intention to harm me, then I have misjudged you, and all past kindness and grievances are wiped out. Life and death depend on one's own abilities. As for Ning'er, I really feel sorry for her. How can she have a father like you?"

"What?"Zhao Ji snorted, "If Gu truly sees you as a thorn in her side, as a traitorous prince, it would be reasonable for me to kill her. If you've done wrong, can't you accept any punishment?"

Ying Wuji was not happy in his heart and was about to scold, but he felt that these words seemed to have some ambiguity.

"If Gu truly sees you as a thorn in her side."

Truly?

He couldn't help but hesitate, "You..."

"Hmph!"

Zhao Ji snorted angrily and beckoned with his hand. A jade zhang flew out from Zhao Ning's arms and landed in Ying Wuji's hand. "This is the Breaking Formation Zhang, the nemesis of all formations and restrictions in the world. Ning'er stole it and gave it to you. Use it to escape from the Bai family later!"

Ying Wuji: "!!!"

He felt a little dazed, but the warm and smooth touch was undeniably real.

He raised his head and saw Zhao Ji's eyes, full of reproach but not lacking warmth.

For a moment, it seemed like he understood a lot of things.

He opened his mouth, with many questions in his mind, but he didn't know how to ask.

The anger that had filled him just now had disappeared, turning into a complex emotion that he couldn't name, lingering in his chest.

Zhao Ji leaned forward slightly, "Still don't understand? If Gu truly wanted to kill you, Ning'er's disobedience and the prince who put the Zhao family in danger would have been dead long ago. First, I am the king of the Zhao family, and then I am her father. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Ying Wuji sighed softly.

This villain, the old man really played his hand well.

Regardless of what Zhao Ji originally thought, Zhao Ning had sacrificed herself for him, and this Breaking Formation Zhang would also become a favor from the entire Bai family, as well as a reasonable excuse for him to escape.

He glanced at the unconscious Zhao Ning, feeling a bit sour in his nose.

The corner of his mouth twitched, "I understand the reasoning, but did you have to be so heavy-handed?"

Zhao Ji snorted, "Do you think I hit her just for your sake?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

From the perspective of the King of Li, it was indeed infuriating.

But he had to admire the old man's tactics. In the eyes of other politicians, this grand scheme might seem absurd, but it truly held him firmly in place.

However...

He grinned, "But if you act so convincingly, aren't you afraid of really pushing us to the limit?"

Zhao Ji waved his hand to interrupt, "If even you can't be pushed to the limit, what can make Ji Tong believe it?"

Ying Wuji: "..."

Zhao Ji rubbed his graying temples and beckoned to Ying Wuji, "Thirsty! Come pour me a cup of wine!"

"Alright!"

Ying Wuji nodded and quickly walked to his side.

He took the wine that was warming on the stove, filled a cup, and respectfully presented it to Zhao Ji.

His peripheral vision swept across the table and found a chessboard.

It was the chess game he played with the old Daoist that night. There was no winning move, and with one move, Zhao Ji had lost control of the chessboard.

This was Zhao Ji's complete concession to him in the decisive game.

At least, in the eyes of everyone except himself, this was a decisive game.

Seeing this scene, Ying Wuji felt a moment of confusion.

So... it was like this?

Zhao Ji took the wine and drank it all in one go.

Then he suddenly grabbed Ying Wuji's right hand, and because of his excitement, his hand was trembling.

It was this contact that made Ying Wuji realize that his body was close to exhaustion.

Bloodshot veins filled Zhao Ji's murky eyes as he stared at Ying Wuji, "Wuji, kings are often unkind, but I have never been unkind to you! In the future, will you betray the Kingdom of Li?"

The look in his eyes made it difficult for people to look directly at him.

Ying Wuji forced himself to meet his gaze and said slowly, "I will never betray!"

"Good!"

"Good!"

"I didn't misjudge you!"

Zhao Ji's smile seemed a bit crazy, and he gritted his teeth, "How much of the Heavenly Formation Technique have you learned today?"

Ying Wuji took a deep breath, "You have imparted it to me with your heart, and it is like a sudden enlightenment. I will carefully ponder it, and when I break through to the realm of enlightenment, I will surely master it completely!"

Zhao Ji nodded, "Today, the grand formation is based on people, and its power is unparalleled in the world. It must have intimidated the lords. After exterminating the evildoers, you must hold the Breaking Formation Zhang and shatter it with explosive force. After leaving Li, your reputation will surely soar.

When you fight the demons in the future, you must give it your all, even if you don't compete for the first merit, you must not fall behind.

At that time, whether it's Wu Yan or entering Chu, it will be enough to make you stand firm!"

"I understand! Thank you, Father King!"

Ying Wuji's eyes were hot, and he finally understood the purpose behind Zhao Ji's grand scheme and even the bloodshed to create this grand formation.

On one hand, it helped him in his cultivation, allowing him to personally experience the terror of this grand formation so that he could comprehend it better in the future.

On the other hand, it established his authority with this powerful formation.

Otherwise, just escaping from the Kingdom of Li might not earn him the respect of others.

"Just relying on you and these people might not be enough!"

Zhao Ji, trembling, took out a letter from his arms, "After leaving the Kingdom of Li, find a way to deliver this letter to the old Daoist Qing Xu. He will have a way to help you!"

Ying Wuji took the letter and carefully tucked it into his own clothes, "Yes!"

"Phew..."

After Zhao Ji finished giving these instructions, his tense body finally relaxed a bit.

Supporting himself with one hand on the table, he looked at Ying Wuji, "Do you have any other questions?"

Ying Wuji looked complicated and sighed lightly, "I do have two questions!"

"Speak!"

"Back then, did you really not read the letter I gave you, or the things hidden in the Prince's Mansion in Xincheng? Did you really not look at them?"

"Why would I look at those distressing things?"

"..."

"Ask the second question!"

"Alright!"

Ying Wuji took a deep breath, "From start to finish, did you ever have the intention to kill me?"

A faint smile appeared on Zhao Ji's aged face, "I had the intention once!"

Ying Wuji asked, "When?"

Zhao Ji glanced at the suspended Zhao Ning and couldn't help but show a hint of heartache, "Before leaving, I discovered that Ning'er had secretly contacted Han You and stole the Breaking Formation Zhang."

Ying Wuji's heart skipped a beat, "And after that..."Zhao Ji looked at him with disdain: "Han You didn't make a move afterwards, and you willingly walked into the trap. Why do you still have the intention to kill? Do you really think that all the kings of this world are as ruthless as Ying Yue?"

I have been in power for decades and consider myself an expert in judging people.

Even if you were driven out of the Central Plains, you would still be concerned about the well-being of your wife and children.

Moreover, the Great Li shows signs of prosperity. Can I really be so foolish as to bury the impending prosperity for the sake of a nonexistent crisis?

It's ridiculous to think that the plans from all directions could undermine the foundation of prosperity in my Li Kingdom.

In my opinion, what kind of saint, what kind of hero? They are all mediocre and incompetent!"

These words came from the mouth of an old man who was about to die.

But they made Ying Wuji, a young man, feel ashamed.

Mediocre and incompetent.

He was one of them.

Zhao Ji looked at Ying Wuji: "You may not have the heart of a saint at the moment, but you already know where your saintly heart lies, you're just too lazy to move forward."

Ying Wuji's lips moved, but he didn't argue.

Zhao Ji's withered hand tightened, and his tone was unquestionable: "Now that you have a son, you should act like a father. Today, I have entrusted the fate of the Zhao family to you, and you should act like a saint. From today on, this is the path you must take, and you owe it to me!"

Ying Wuji felt as if his heart had skipped a beat, and he nodded heavily: "Alright!"

"Phew..."

Zhao Ji finally let go of all his worries after getting his promise.

He let out a long breath, and his whole spirit seemed to have been relieved of most of its burden.

The once spirited king now seemed to be as old and decrepit as someone who had just finished dealing with his own funeral, with no worries in his heart.

He let go of Ying Wuji's hand, supported himself on the table with both hands, and his breathing became somewhat erratic: "Before the formation is broken, no news can be passed outside. Do you have everything under control after that?"

Ying Wuji nodded: "It's all arranged!"

Zhao Ji nodded in satisfaction and made a shooing gesture: "Take the token from the corner of the table. Tonight, the Zhao family will completely obey your orders. Go!"

Ying Wuji felt his eyes stinging at the sight of Zhao Ji's weakness.

He took a deep breath, picked up the token, and respectfully bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhao Ji raised his eyelids: "I don't like that title!"

Ying Wuji's eyes reddened: "Yes, Your Royal Highness!"

"Good..."

Zhao Ji responded with a muffled voice from his throat, too weak to even bother speaking a complete sentence.

He just raised his hand to signal that Ying Wuji could leave.

Ying Wuji stopped at the door, but turned back and said, "Your Royal Highness, you can actually look at the things in the Prince's Mansion without upsetting yourself."

"Alright!"

Zhao Ji slumped in his seat, struggling to lift his head, and a hint of a smile appeared on his aged face: "When I return, I will go and take a look. After the battle against the demons, remember to write back! "

"Yes!"

Ying Wuji nodded and, before leaving, bowed deeply to him: "Your Royal Highness, I take my leave!"

This departure.

Perhaps it was a farewell, hoping not to disappoint expectations, and that the battle against the demons would be a great victory.

In the main tent.

Zhao Ji was lying on the table, already feeling a bit unsteady.

Queen Xuan Ji walked out from behind the screen and knelt beside Zhao Ji, feeding him a tonic while wiping away her tears.

Nourished by the elixir, Zhao Ji's complexion improved slightly, and he complained breathlessly, "I'm not dead yet, why are you crying?"

Xuan Ji lightly hummed, her eyes filled with sorrow.

Zhao Ji sighed lightly and looked at Zhao Ning: "The trickery is over, take Ning'er down to heal! My good companion still needs her to handle things."

He had done everything he could, but the matter was far from over. These young people... have a long and arduous road ahead!

Xuan Ji wiped away the tears in her eyes, filled with heartache and reluctance: "Why resort to such heavy-handed tactics in the trickery?"

"If it's not painful enough, can it still be called trickery?"

"..."

"In fact, I lied to the boy about having murderous intentions towards him, more than once!"

"And what's the other thing?"

"The other thing is... I won't live to see the day he sends the letter. Three days before the deadline, after Ning'er ascends to the throne, remember to keep the death a secret until the boy sends the letter back. Scare him a little, so he doesn't slack off, hahaha... cough, cough, cough!"

Zhao Ji was quite pleased, finding it easiest to manipulate someone like Ying Wuji, as long as he felt indebted to you. But sometimes, when he lied to the end, he himself was a bit confused about how much was a trick and how much was true.

Before he could finish laughing, he started coughing uncontrollably.

Xuan Ji looked at him, her eyes filled with tenderness and compassion.

Once, the two of them were a perfect match in terms of talent and beauty.

Today, she still had the appearance of a beautiful woman.

But Zhao Ji was already old and decrepit.

Yet today, she seemed to see the spirited young man from this aging figure.

She smiled, but tears streamed down her face.

...

In the basin.

The atmosphere became increasingly silent.

Bai Yi felt as if a heavy stone had landed in her heart after hearing what Gu Niang had said.

No!

Did you really self-destruct?

She didn't expect that the trump card in their hands would be so straightforward.

It wasn't a real self-destruction.

She had implanted a gu worm in each person, and as soon as it was ordered, the gu worm would seize all the latent essence, energy, and spirit of the person, erupting with several times the fighting power until they died.

They couldn't break the formation, but they had the ability to kill the elite warriors of the Zhao family.

What was annoying was that the gu demon had never given up doing bad things. Before setting off this time, she had filled her own blood with this kind of gu worm.

The black-armored warriors volunteered to be implanted.

The people from the Demon Sect were also deceived into being implanted.

And Gu Niang, since the first time she was injured, had not taken any measures to stop the bleeding, so the gu worm followed the scent of blood and floated out.With innate spiritual perception, the poison insects would avoid those with strong spiritual senses to prevent being discovered.

For those with weaker spiritual senses, they would directly parasitize.

The Gu Mother did not reveal how many had been parasitized.

But she did say that her people would die first, and how many of the Bai family would need to perish to break through depended on the Bai family's own capabilities.

Of course.

This statement was based on a premise.

That is, the Bai family needed to stand with her. If she discovered Ying Wuji's betrayal, she would immediately kill all those parasitized by the poison insects.

Bai Yi was on the verge of depression, cursing her lack of extensive knowledge for not guarding against this move.

At that moment.

A crack suddenly appeared in the air.

A figure stumbled out and crashed heavily onto the ground.

Bai Yi exclaimed in shock: "Wuji! You…"

At this moment, Ying Wuji was covered in blood, with countless broken bones.

He didn't even have the strength to speak to Bai Yi, instead gritting his teeth and ordering: "Prepare for a formation and fight to the death!"

The Gu Mother was also startled by this scene and quickly checked his injuries after ordering her subordinates to form up.

Confirming his severe injuries and even damage to his vital essence, she finally let down her guard against him.

She asked in a deep voice: "Did the negotiations fail?"

"They failed!"

Ying Wuji spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva: "Prepare to fight with all we've got! Gu Mother, I'm seriously injured and need to use my trump card, I might need your help."

Before his words fell.

Voices resounded from all directions.

"Stomp!"

"Stomp!"

"Stomp!"

The footsteps were uniform, clearly those of heavy-armored infantry.

Judging by the sound, there were at least thirty thousand.

Accompanying this was the sound of bowstrings being drawn from all over the hills and fields.

In an instant, everyone's hearts were in their throats.

The Gu Mother's scalp tingled: "Speak quickly!"

She made eye contact with Ying Wuji instinctively.

Despite the darkness, she felt as if she was looking into a mirror.

She had a bad feeling and wanted to pull away.

As a Gu demon, she was quite adept at mental control, even stronger than the mortal realm, and for a moment Ying Wuji seemed unable to deal with her.

Although their wills were locked in a stalemate, her body reacted, quickly trying to contact the external poison insects.

But she could never have anticipated.

Almost at the same time, a powerful prohibition was placed around her, preventing even signals to her child insects from getting out!

A desperate heavenly passage?

And it was almost of the same level as the one sealing the mountain range.

Using a person as the formation base?

Before she could think further, she felt a chill on her neck, and her head was sliced off.

In the instant her head was severed, the pulling from the mirror disappeared, and her vision floated away as her head spun.

Then.

She saw another Ying Wuji and the Bai family disciples arranged as the formation base.

A body possessing an incarnation?

Such a formidable prohibition, and inside there were only three people.

One herself, and two Ying Wujis.

"Clang!"

Ying Wuji retracted the Radiant Sword.

The external incarnation merged instantly, healing most of his injuries, and he slowly stood up.

Unbeknownst to when, the Gu Mother's head and torso were covered in dense patterns.

The Gu Mother's head hung in the air, her mouth moving, but not a single syllable came out.

【Notification】: Target's emotional fluctuation value has reached 100, maximum reward obtained: Heavenly Technique "Gu Production Method".

【Notification】: Host does not possess the reproductive organs of a Gu demon, you may choose whether to develop such organs to produce all the poison insects in the world.

Ying Wuji: "..."

That's just ridiculous!

He decisively chose to give up.

Poison insects, mere trifles!

Laying eggs?

How would I, Brother Black Chicken, face anyone when I go out?

Ying Wuji curled his lips: "Your vitality is quite tenacious, no rush! I'll burn you slowly!"

Ignoring the Gu Mother's resentful gaze.

He turned around and made a hand signal.

The message in the gesture was concise: Ally with the Zhao family, execute the traitors, leave none alive!

Seeing this signal.

The two elders were somewhat shocked and uncertain about what had happened.

But after the previous events, they would no longer question Ying Wuji's decisions.

At a command.

The battle cry shook the heavens!
