The Hai hour is about to pass and the Zi hour is coming. After everyone's efforts, a gap was finally broken through the barrier, and Hua Ruxue was the first to pass through the gap and enter the Beauty Courtyard with her body advantage.
In the Beauty Courtyard, there were overgrown withered grass and a dead silence. Blue will-o'-the-wisps surrounded the high pavilion, and rows of cold-glow soul-killing bells hung at the four corners of the high pavilion.
The cold wind howled by, the will-o'-the-wisps burned even more vigorously, and the Soul-Calming Bell made a series of crisp jingles.
There are the smells of Ning Shuyan, Li Changzhi, An Muwan and Yang Ling in the air, and the smell is coming from the high pavilion.
An Yueming actually used An Muwan as a sacrifice. However, when she thought that An Yueming's body contained ghosts, Hua Ruxue was less surprised. He had not sacrificed all the An family members. It's time to show mercy.
Hua Ruxue moved towards the high pavilion cautiously. There were many obstacles along the way. It made no sense that there was nothing in this beauty's courtyard.
Unfortunately, she didn't encounter any obstacles until she opened the door of the high pavilion.
Standing on the stone steps and looking down, you can see a slightly old circular formation with one hundred and twenty-five altars. There are dark marks left on the edges of many altars, as if they had been burned by fire.
Except for the central altar, there is one person sitting on top of each altar, a total of one hundred and twenty-four people.
There are four people in the inner circle, two men and two women, Ning Shuyan and An Muwan are among them!
There were sixty-four people on the outermost edge, half male and female, and Yang Ling was on the outermost edge.
They sat cross-legged on the altar, facing the empty altar at the center of the formation, with their eyes closed, as if they had fallen into a drowsy state.
The formation in front of me is undoubtedly the "Ghost Refining Formation" mentioned by An Murong!
At this moment, the sacrifices and formations were ready, all that was left was the reincarnation of the Lord of the Underworld, Chu Tang.
Looking at the other end of the formation, he saw An Yueming forming seals with his hands, gray mist lingering around him, and gray threads condensing soul power slowly extending from his body and heading upward.
And Li Zhizhi's body was suspended above the altar in the center of the formation.
Is An Yueming helping Li Changzhi consolidate his soul? No, to be precise, he was helping Chu Tang, Lord of the Underworld, to consolidate his soul.
The ghost refining formation has not yet been fully activated, Hua Ruxue is thinking about how sure it is to snatch Ning Shuyan and others back from An Yueming, and then escape from the An family.
Before Hua Ruxue could make a move, An Yueming seemed to have noticed her thoughts and sneered and said, "I wanted to spare your life, but you are seeking death."
Hua Ruxue was the first person to reach the high pavilion. She was the only one around at the moment, so these words were naturally addressed to her.
Thinking that as soon as An Yueming came out of confinement, he sent someone to "invite" her into the An family, and then forcefully asked her to stay in the An family...
She had a bold guess: "Is it me you chose as the sacrifice?"
The sacrifice that should have appeared inside the formation today was her, not Ning Shuyan.
Ning Shuyan took her place!
"It's not too stupid. It's a pity that you understood it too late."
"Who is helping you?"
There are only a handful of female monks with extraordinary talents in Guanyun City. An Yueming's mention of "grand master" and "ten years old" at the banquet at noon was not an accident, but to confirm whether her talents were suitable for sacrifice.
She had already appeared at the An family today, and An Yueming had no reason to let go of the sacrifice that was in his hands. It was still a sacrifice that had no relatives in Guanyun City.
Unless someone helps him find a better replacement!
The man took Ning Shuyan into the An family while Ning Shuyan was acting alone, and helped hide Ning Shuyan's traces, delaying time so that An Yueming could prepare the ghost refining formation.
That person was among six people including Lin Feng, Feng Helan, Lin Xi, He Yuan, Huang San and Lin Tian.
An Yueming looked past Hua Ruxue and looked outside the high pavilion. The gap in the barrier outside the Beauty Courtyard was gradually widening. Su Yi, Li Chu and others were passing through the gap and walking quickly towards the high pavilion.
An Yueming's expression was unpredictable, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he said sarcastically: "It's rare for that kid to regain his self-awareness, but he breaks the formation at the expense of self-destruction, just to let you abandoned ants in. It's really ridiculous! 》Chinese website
To this day, Hua Ruxue can only curse herself secretly in her heart.
Sheng was too stupid to discover earlier that An Murong had been turned into a puppet and controlled by others.
Although he regained some consciousness, he could not directly tell everything he knew.
His deliberate avoidance in the Li family's house and his deliberate taking Yang Ling away from her were all reminders to tell her that there was something wrong with the An family.
"So, when you first entered Guanyun City, on the way to the Longyin Pavilion, your target was my brother? You learned from the city gate registration office that my brother had a middle-grade ice spirit root, so you asked An Murong to target me. People are coming. You let An Murong be poisoned on purpose so that we could "disappear" from Guanyun City with the help of Mr. An. Unfortunately, I healed him by accident. "
"When you went to the Forest of No Return, you found out through An Murong that I was a body-refining monk, at the Grand Master level, with excellent talent, and a good candidate for sacrifice. So you gave An Murong two tasks: The first The first is to control my brother and I, and the second is to cure Li Zangzhi and seal his soul. The former is a rare sacrifice, and the latter is the key to the ghost refining formation."
"You were the one who caused Li Zhizhi's death. His body recovered so quickly, not because I removed the poison, nor because he was used as a material for refining a puppet and suffered body refining, but because of your instruction. An Murong detoxified him."
After the words fell, An Yueming's eyes fell on Hua Ruxue again, and he nodded appreciatively, "If you are a ghost clan, you will definitely accomplish a lot. I promised him not to kill you, why don't you become a ghost clan as well?"
Hua Ruxue's eyes darkened when she heard this. An Yueming indeed had help, but she couldn't figure out why that person wanted to protect her.
Previously, she had always thought that Ning Shuyan was taken away just by accident and on the spur of the moment. But now that she thought about it, she realized that everything was premeditated.
An Murong had inexplicably told them before he returned to the forest that he still needed two more concubines, which meant that he had to bring two more people into the An family.
And these two candidates are her and Su Yi. The word "two" that An Murong muttered just now must also refer to two people.
In An Yueming's plan, which lasted for who knows how many years, Yang Ling replaced Su Yi, and Ning Shuyan replaced her.
"You knew that Li Zangzhi was in critical condition and that Mr. Li was in urgent need of a doctor, so you deliberately let An Murong be detained by Mr. Li for a day. No matter whether I can solve the problem or not, An Murong will be safe and sound, and so will Mr. Li. As a result, An Murong will recognize my medical skills, and An Murong only needs to find a way to stay with me and enter the Li family through me."
Otherwise, given the enmity between the Li family and the An family, it would not be easy for An Murong to enter the Li family's house and get close to Li Zhizhi. If she approaches other doctors again, it will inevitably arouse suspicion, and it will not be as easy to control as her who is greedy for money.
"But in this stage, I had to ensure that I, who was only a first-level Qi practitioner at the time, could make it out of the Forest alive. An Murong was a puppet and would not die, but his strength was limited and not enough to deal with someone who was out of body. Qiao escorts.
There are only two people who can ensure the smooth implementation of this plan. One is the person who helps you and doesn’t want me to die. That person is hiding next to me. But from the time you found out that I was the Grand Master, you started to care about me. Until today, you still regard me as a sacrifice. It can be seen from this that, You had no dealings with that person before today. "
Therefore, An Yueming still didn't know about that person's existence in this situation.
There is only one person left who can guarantee the smooth progress of the plan.
An Yueming raised his brows slightly with interest, and his eyes showed a little surprise, as if to say: You can actually guess it.
He asked with great interest: "So, what did you guess?"
Guan An Yueming's reaction seemed to be that the second person was hiding so much that no one else could know. Hua Ruxue's expression was slightly startled, and she somewhat suspected that her guess was wrong.
But she really couldn't think of anyone other than An Yueming herself who could ensure the smooth progress of the plan.
She could only bite the bullet and said: "The only person who can ensure the smooth progress of the plan is yourself."
An Yueming seemed to have heard something extremely ridiculous and laughed wildly.
He stopped after a while and said, "You are right."
His expression made Hua Ruxue wonder if she had missed anyone.
Could it be that among the group of people who were in the Forest of No Return at that time, apart from the person who took Ning Shuyan away today, there was also a hidden powerful person?
Before Hua Ruxue could ask more questions, Su Yi, Li Chu and others were already in the high pavilion.
Li Chu took a cursory glance at the people sitting in the formation, then followed Su Yi's line of sight and looked up, and saw Li Changzhi hanging high in the air.
Li Chu's tense nerves were completely shattered at this moment, and he suddenly lost his mind and yelled at An Yueming: "An Yueming! You are looking for death!"
An Yueming smiled contemptuously, "How dare you, a arrogant brat, to be disrespectful to me?"
While talking, Li Chu and the others were suddenly shocked by a pressure, and they all fell to the ground with pain on their faces.
The coercion bypassed Hua Ruxue. Hua Ruxue saw Li Chu and others falling to the ground. With a small face, she pretended to be in pain and fell to the ground with everyone else.
If others find out that An Yueming treats her differently than others, she won't be able to explain it even with a hundred mouths.
She doesn't want to be used as a target!
Although Su Yi didn't feel the pressure while holding the fairy sword, he followed everyone and lay down on the ground.
"He doesn't like killing, so I never kill anyone in front of him. October 16th is his birthday. The night when he was born, the ghosts came to the court, which was a sign of the prosperity of the ghost clan. As long as he comes back, The ghost clan will surely regain its former prosperity!"
After the words fell, An Yueming seemed to be caught in the memories of the prosperous period of the Huigui clan. His whole body was full of energy, his eyes showed warmth, and he also withdrew his pressure.
Seeing that they were defeated at this time, everyone did not dare to take another step forward and planned to wait for the opportunity.
Li Chu drew his sword and was about to step forward, but was stopped by the elder who was traveling with him.
Judging from the current situation, their joint attack cannot hurt An Yueming at all. An Yueming has no murderous intentions towards them, and it is best to delay as much time as possible to wait for support.
Su Yi stood up and asked An Yueming, "Senior, is this Ghost Lord Chu Ming?"
"An Yueming" heard the sound and raised his eyes to look at Su Yi, said "hmm" in surprise, and said in wonder: "There are actually people in this world who know my name."
"I have admired my name for a long time, and my senior's puppetry skills are unparalleled." Su Yi glanced at the one hundred and twenty-four people in the formation, and then at the jade scabbard in his hand, with a trace of regret flashing in his eyes.
He thought to himself: If he practices more diligently and becomes more diligent, he may be able to solve his current predicament.
