Uncle Nine spoke, his voice trembling.
Su Feng frowned and shook his head. "It shouldn't be. If the demonic infant were to truly descend into the world, the consequences would likely be far more devastating than what we are witnessing..."
At that time, it won't just be the soldiers in the Marshal's Mansion who will be killed; the entire Shuilian Town may face annihilation!
However, they did not notice anything unusual in the town as they traveled there, so the possibility of a demonic infant being born could be ruled out.
"there!"
Aunt Zhe discovered something, pointed ahead, and then ran ahead.
Su Feng and the others hurriedly followed, and found two soldiers lying dead beside the pavilion on the side of the garden, their deaths equally gruesome!
Above the soldier's body, on the steps, lay another person.
"It's the maidservant from the Marshal's wife's side!" Aunt Zhe recognized the fallen person at a glance and exclaimed, "She was the one who came to my Taoist temple that day, and she's the one who stole the Nine-Life Evil Infant!"
Now, the thief has been caught, but...
"already dead."
Uncle Nine squatted down, reached out and touched the maid's neck, shook his head and sighed, "No signs of life... Like the other soldiers, she met her end here."
"This is troublesome..."
Su Feng suddenly lowered his voice and his expression became serious. "Jiang Dalong and Michelle are nowhere to be seen in the entire Marshal's Mansion... and the servants who accompanied them have been killed and have lost their demonic energy."
Uncle Nine was equally baffled, "Could it be that Sister Lian was controlled by the demonic infant, and then..."
"Don't rush to conclusions." Su Feng took a deep breath, his five fingers moving rapidly as he began to deduce the cause and effect of the whole matter.
After a short while, he opened his eyes, looking somewhat dazed.
"Someone broke into the Marshal's Mansion and took away Jiang Dalong and Michelin!"
In this way, the whole thing makes perfect sense.
In Su Feng's memory, the only person who could kill all the armed soldiers in an instant and subdue the Nine-Life Evil Infant and take it away was a disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect!
"Trouble has come knocking..." Su Feng clicked his tongue and quickly pointed ahead, "They must have escaped from here at 06! Let's chase after them!"
Although it is currently unknown what the Corpse Refining Sect people want to do with Mi Qilian, it is clear that they have discovered the existence of the Nine-Life Evil Infant!
If the demonic infant falls into their hands, things could get really bad!
"Qiusheng and Wencai, let's go!" Uncle Jiu shouted to his two disciples who were standing dumbfounded at the door, picked up his peach wood sword, and rushed out the door with Su Feng and Aunt Zhe!
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai followed behind with livid faces. They had vomited countless times in the face of the dismembered limbs around them.
Now, my legs feel weak when I walk.
But the stench that filled the air and the gruesome faces of the dead made them even more reluctant to linger. They steeled themselves and made their way through the courtyard littered with corpses to catch up with Uncle Nine.
……
Rustling——
The leaves were rustled, the wind swept over my head, and swished among the bushes ahead.
The group stopped and looked back.
"There shouldn't be any problems here."
Wuji said coldly, then turned his gaze to the people tied up with ropes behind his two junior brothers.
"Ugh! Ugh!—"
Jiang Dalong's mouth was stuffed with a rag, so he couldn't speak and could only make incomprehensible sounds.
Their hands and feet were also bound with hemp rope.
The sight of him, who was broad and stout, being carried on the back of someone a size smaller than him looked rather odd.
Wuji walked up to Jiang Dalong and pulled the rag out of his mouth.
"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey—" Jiang Dalong spat out the bits of cloth in his mouth and couldn't wait to start cursing, "Who the hell are you people?! Why are you going against me?! Do you even know who I am?!"
"This area is under my jurisdiction. If you're smart, release me and my wife! Otherwise, you'll..."
Before he could finish speaking, Wuji stuffed the rag back into his mouth.
"Noisy." Wuji muttered to himself, turning around and looking at Michelle.
"Senior brother, is this woman truly a nine-life evil infant?"
Wu Chi asked aloud.
Wuji grinned coldly, "There's no mistake, this person exudes demonic energy everywhere... It seems that this demonic infant is preparing to use her body to carry out its birth plan."
As the chief disciple of the Corpse Refining Sect, he naturally knew how terrifying this demonic infant was!
Putting aside its formidable strength, its rarity alone makes it far more valuable than the bronze-armored corpse I've raised for fifty years!
"What a blessing in disguise!" Wuji laughed heartily, his expression filled with indescribable joy. "We never expected that the bronze-armored corpse we'd raised for fifty years would be destroyed, but now we've found the Demon Infant! This is truly a stroke of luck!"
"Once the demonic infant is born, we can feed it with the blood of our closest relatives, making it even more ferocious! Then we can use magic to control it and make it work for us... In this way, our grand plan can continue!"
Wuji smiled sinisterly, and his two junior brothers also looked at him with admiration and respect for his schemes.
Right now, he used magic to put Michelle to sleep, which temporarily suppressed the demonic infant within her. After all, if the demonic infant were to come out and cause trouble during their escape, it could lead to problems.
All you need to do is leave Shuilian Town and find a secluded cave to wait!
Upon hearing the plan of the three members of the Corpse Refining Sect, Jiang Dalong, who was standing to the side, started making a ruckus again. Although his mouth was forcibly shut, he still resisted with his body.
"Senior brother, this guy is causing too much trouble. Why don't we just settle this here and now?"
Wu Chou, who never smiled, turned around and glared fiercely at the person on his back, and said coldly.
"Ugh ugh ugh—?!" Upon hearing this, Jiang Dalong immediately fell silent and dared not move again.
"Hahaha, no rush. This person is useful to us. When the demon baby is born, this woman probably won't survive. We'll need this general's blood to feed the demon baby."
After resting for a while, the three members of the Corpse Refining Sect prepared to continue their journey.
Just then, Wu Chi squatted down, closed his eyes, tilted his head, and placed his palm on the ground, as if he had sensed something.
"Did you discover something?" Wuji frowned and asked.
"Senior brother, someone is chasing us from behind, and they're moving very fast... Moreover, they shouldn't be this warlord's lackeys."
Judging from the spiritual energy emanating from here, the people chasing after us are definitely not ordinary!
Wuji snorted coldly, "It seems that it is the one who destroyed our formation that day. Although I really want to take revenge myself, protecting the demon infant is the priority now... Wuchi and Wuchou, let's continue!"
After the order was given, the group continued forward.
You've gotten a great deal, but don't let your guard down!
However, they still underestimated the power of the demonic infant.
They hadn't gone far when Wu Chi, carrying Michelin on his back, suddenly sensed that the person behind him seemed to be waking up, and a strange aura was hitting his back.
"Roar!"
A roar that seemed to come from hell!
Michelin, who was being carried on Wu Chi's back, suddenly broke free of the ropes and pounced out!
The demonic energy emanating from his body knocked Wu Chi to the ground!
Wuji and Wuchou, who were walking in front, almost didn't react in time and quickly retreated!
"Mmm mmm mmm!" Jiang Dalong exclaimed excitedly when he saw his wife wake up.
Can……
That thing floating in mid-air wasn't his wife, with whom he spent every day!
Hiss--
Michelle, now freed from her restraints, was suspended in mid-air, surrounded by wisps of dark red aura that seemed to lift her up like tentacles.
Her pupils were blood red, and her fair skin was covered with black lines...
Its body was filled with a terrifying demonic aura that kept living people away, making it impossible for anyone around it to get close.
"Oops!"
Wuji cursed under his breath.
I never expected the demonic infant to awaken so quickly!
He had underestimated him after all.
"Senior brother, what should we do now?" Wuchou walked around to the side, blocking Michelle's back, and asked.
The situation is dire; they must race against time and control the demonic infant as soon as possible!
"Do it!"
"Don't hurt the main body!"
At Wuji's command, he took out a magical artifact, a uniquely shaped golden ring, and launched an attack on Michelle in mid-air!
Although the demonic infant has not yet been born and its strength has been greatly reduced, and it can only manipulate its host to attack, we must not let our guard down! If we make the slightest mistake, not only will we lose control of the demonic infant, but we may also lose our lives here.
Wu Chi got up from the ground and rushed over to meet his two senior brothers. He took out the Corpse Suppression Curse and set up an array on the ground in an attempt to cut off the demon infant's path.
"Roar!"
Michelle let out a second roar, and the demonic energy surrounding her suddenly attacked Wu Chi, who was setting up the formation on the ground!
The demonic energy transformed into black and red vines, which slammed down, destroying the array set up by Wu Chi, and then crashing heavily onto Wu Chi's body.
"Tsk!"
Wu Chi gritted his teeth and stepped back, letting out a muffled groan of pain!
Fortunately, he cast a spell beforehand, covering himself with a golden shield; otherwise, he would have suffered a severe blow.
"Soul-Suppressing Golden Ring!"
Suddenly, a golden light surged into the sky, followed by a powerful aura!
It hissed and emitted a piercing sound wave as it fell from the sky!
Within that golden light, Wuji wielded the Soul-Suppressing Golden Ring in his hand, which emitted golden light, and used it to surround Michelle.
