long. He still had many things to attend to, so he first sent me back to the dilapidated village.By this time, the sky was already bright. The entire village had been utterly destroyed. The people of...What's the scam What did I get scammed out of

I frowned and said to Chong Mo, "Am I likely to believe you"

"Hmph... Believe it or not, it doesn't matter." He raised an eyebrow and smiled. "That remnant soul within the Corpse Demon's body, called Situ Lin, didn't you see him too"

"Whether you are mortals or immortals, whatever you do, you must wear the cloak of justice and compassion, so insincerely!"

I hold onto the soul lantern tightly, not intending to listen to his rambling nonsense.

Because Chong Mo was too close to me and my brother, the surrounding Yin soldiers did not dare to act rashly. Each of them waited for the orders of Hei Wu Chang and Niu Tou Gui.

The tip of the silent longsword was just one meter away from me, a flick of his wrist could pierce me with a hole. Hei Wu Chang, with a cold face, said: “Since you are under the rule of the Black Emperor of Beitian, you should know that the little princess of the Underworld is a fairy queen who has become a bride at her wedding. If you dare to harm him, you will be an enemy of the Underworld.”

Chongmo let out a derisive chuckle and raised an eyebrow, "Do you know ~~Emperor Beita~~ Our master's divine power is comparable to his, both revered as the lords of the north. One resides in the underworld, the other in the demon realm. ~~If it weren't for Emperor Beita, I wouldn't have been sent here, but rather——"

Before he could finish his words, a shrill laugh echoed from afar, growing closer and closer. A headless giant specter, like a painting unfurling, completely enveloped the small building, its voice booming, “Chong Mo! Stop wasting time! Quickly grab this little girl and take her to the demon realm! Hahahahaha… You bunch of useless things, you need me to make a move for you to succeed!”

That's the female ghost's soul-refining!

As soon as she appeared outside the barrier, the spiritual energy on my soul lantern started to flicker wildly, as if it could be severed at any moment!

Wisdom is clear, the mind is at peace... Three souls forever, the spirit never lost!

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself.

The female ghost laughed maniacally, "What use is the Cleansing Mantra! Hahahahaha... You righteous cultivators! You're all hypocritical and fleeting! Even if you recite the Cleansing Mantra a million times, your hearts will never be cleansed!"

“A man just needs a little flick of the wrist to drop his pants, and a woman just needs a little lie to offer up her body, har har har… You pathetic creatures, only your blood is useful to me… Gods Look at your gods, who will come to save you! Charge! Don’t waste time! If this woman beguiles you, give me the doll stained with her blood! I’ll take her back! Waste of space, you've let this woman escape twice already!”

The female ghost's shrill voice screamed outside, and Mo's face grew colder and colder.

He coldly looked out the window, his voice low: "… You're a demon woman with eight hundred years of cultivation. What qualifications do you have to yell at me"

“Har har har har…… Qualifications Without me, you wouldn't even be able to transform! Eight hundred years of experience beats your thousand-year lifespan any day! You're just trash! Born a demon, yet with not a shred of humanity in your heart. I don't understand why the Lord would use such a useless pawn!”

Is this... an infighting

"I didn't expect you two would still be fighting! Such a strong animosity, no wonder you couldn't stay in the Demon Realm and had to come to the human world to vent." My brother deliberately stirred up trouble.

Unexpectedly, his words caused Chong Mo to frown.

“This lewd and fiery female ghost has cursed you a few times, you waste! You can still endure it You have such a good temper, eh I wonder if your temper will get you bullied in the Demon Realm”

Chong Mo's temper was also a powder keg, flaring up at the slightest provocation. Adding fuel to the fire was his already unfavorable opinion of this female ghost. He raised his long sword, pointing the blade out the window: "Don't order me around, and don't dare yell at me again or I'll hack you to pieces."

The blade is away from my face!

My brother suddenly pushed me, and the black chains flew over to grab me at the same time. The ox-head marshal's axe also swung down.

Thunder rumbled... The sky crackled with ominous thunder, and the ground was shrouded in smoke.

This ax blow sent up countless sand, gravel and soil, the force even overturned the grass outside the house!

Layers of soldiers protected me, I retreated to the side door of the small building, only then did Hei Wu Chang and Niu Tou Shuai move to drive people away without any restraint.

But chasing them away won't do any good! Inside the silent doll, there is my blood. It seems like a kind of pact with the demon world.

This demon with this blood pact seems to be able to break through the barriers around me

But I don't have any marks on me! I checked myself, and Jiang Qiyun checked me too.

As the smoke cleared, Chong Mo raised his slender long sword, deflecting Niu Tou Shuai's massive axe. He stared at us with cold eyes and said in a low voice, "Mu Xiaoqiao... you really are stubborn."

"How could I possibly listen to you! You're a demon! And you've hurt people close to me!" I said with a hint of anger.

"Who did I hurt around you" he sneered. "Those two little ghosts They were ghosts to begin with, just sent back to the underworld. You really think I didn't see them sneaking away with a trace of ghostly aura"

"That's also hurting! And how could I possibly go to the Demon Realm with you!" I leaned against the wall beside the side door, surrounded by Yin soldiers on three layers inside and three layers outside.

"Heh... A tool like you should be grateful just to have your life... Since you care so much about these little minions of the underworld... then... how about I let the owl eat a few more" He chuckled wickedly, raising his hand.

Without even a moment to react, a crack suddenly tore through space! And it opened right from him!

“Be careful, there’s…there’s my blood in his arms—”

Blood, blood puppets...

Before I could finish screaming, that gaping maw stretching towards the ceiling snapped shut, devouring several Yin soldiers from the outermost layer.

Hiss... a few wisps of blue smoke dissipated.

That's it.

That gaping maw charged at me once more, its black, sinister chains and the ox-headed demon's axe blocking my face. It clamped down on me with a ferocious bite, tearing…

"Little Qiao!" My brother shielded me.

I don't want you to protect me! Bro——

I saw with my own eyes how this giant maw swallowed Ah-Da and Ah-Meng! It bit down and they vanished into thin air!

If I was still useful to them, they wouldn't want me dead, but my brother, my brother—

"No—" I released the soul lamp, clutching my brother's back with both hands, trying to "trip" him up so I could shield him!

But I'm not strong enough. My brother, though he is slender, when he gets serious, his strength is something no woman could handle!

Hiss...

A blast of cold, icy breath hit my wrist, stinging my skin.

That maw, with teeth as sharp as daggers, hung above my wrist, mere millimeters from my brother's back.

Chongmo raised his hand, stopping between the jaws of the giant maw and preventing it from closing further.

This is just a mouth. Chains and axes are useless against it, just like the liches' tongues that stretched out from spatial rifts before. Even if you cut them off, they do no harm to the main body.

"... You know I'm 'kind,' right Mu Xia Qiao... Be a good girl and come with me to the Demon Realm. Perhaps, there's still a chance of survival. Otherwise, relying on you... how can you protect all these people around you The Demon Realm is like me, like this female ghost Si Man Princess's city lord. But there are ten or so more like us. You have the protection of the Underworld Gods, what about others Hmph..."

My brother angrily said, "Are you threatening us"

"Threat" Chongmo glanced at the scene outside the window.

The billowing black clouds in the sky were already descending, while the hot spring water on the ground boiled over, turning the color of the underworld. In the mist, ghostly apparitions flickered indistinctly.

“My lord, he's coming. At that time, you will have no choice to listen or not, you can only choose 'obedience'."!" The woman whimpered in panic. "Let me in, I'll, I'll tell you everything...""No, you go first. I'll only ask two questions. If you answer quickly, we'll let you in." I said hastily."Woooooo...Yes!"...
