A faint glow emanated from those people. Shielded by the moonlight, no one noticed.
Yaohua curled her lips. This paper puppet technique of hers was personally taught by her master. Dealing with just eight people was a piece of cake.
Watching as the eight people, covered by the paper puppets and moonlight, were sent towards the outskirts, the smile on Yaohua's lips gradually widened. "Master, I've succeeded!"
Just as she was thinking about asking her master for a reward, a dark cloud suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Seeing that the eight puppets were about to reveal their flaws, Yaohua quickly waved out several strands of spiritual power, preparing to adjust the appearance of the puppets.
The formation on the mound was spinning at high speed, quickly absorbing the spiritual power Yaohua had waved out. Yaohua wanted to try again, but the spiritual power she sent out turned into a rope that instead tied her up and dragged her over.
"Master, save me!"
Yaohua blurted out subconsciously. Her body was quickly fixed on the mound. All the people who had come to the sacrifice on the drill ground disappeared like smoke in an instant. The moonlight broke free from the cover of the cloud again, and the bright and clean light shone on the earth once more.
Chongming and Mo Qing also revealed their figures.
"Sister!" Mo Qing suddenly flew towards the mound, only to bump into something unexpectedly and was suddenly bounced back.
He gritted his teeth and glared at the female priestess standing on the sacrificial platform. "What are you up to again?"
The divine messengers tightly surrounded the mound. They held the daggers forged by Rong Chu in their hands, and their gazes were as vicious and venomous as snakes and scorpions.
The female priestess turned a deaf ear to Mo Qing's question. She let out a clear laugh, and a hint of delight welled up in her cold eyes.
"Sister? The only little princess of the Phoenix Clan in thousands of years has actually come to join in such a commotion."
A strong stench wafted over. Yaohua almost vomited. "Stay away from me!"
This smell was really disgusting. Did this person actually eat raw meat for hundreds of years, so that the smell of rotten meat had seeped into her bones!
The priestess sneered. "Disgusted?"
Who wouldn't be disgusted!
Yaohua held her breath. She didn't want to say a single word or inhale a single breath.
"The Phoenix Clan lives far away on Mount Danxue. But now, they have violated the ban of the Three Realms and appeared in Henan Prefecture without permission." The priestess pinched Yaohua's chin and lifted her lowered head. "It seems that the Phoenix Clan is running out of resources and can't hold on anymore."
"The Phoenix Clan is doing just fine! Father and the others eat delicious food and drink good wine every day. It'll piss you off!"
Help!
If she was guilty, please let her master punish her with the heavenly laws, rather than torturing her with this smell!
"In that case, the little princess should get used to this smell earlier." The priestess smiled venomously. "After all, in the future, the little princess will have to live like this."
Yaohua closed her nose and opened her mouth to ask. "What do you mean?"
"The little princess is much more sensible than your elder brother." The priestess's eyes flashed. She conjured up a porcelain bottle out of thin air and tried to stuff the things inside into Yaohua's mouth.
Yaohua tightly clenched her teeth and refused to open her mouth.
This must not be a good thing. Maybe if she ate it, she would be poisoned and die on the spot.
"Let her go!" Mo Qing was shocked and angry. He waved out several strands of spiritual power in succession, trying to rescue Yaohua. However, the priestess had long been on guard, and the spiritual power he waved out was all resolved by the formation on the mound one by one.
Spiritual power was swirling around Chongming. As soon as he took a step forward, the mound in front of him turned into the Cangling Hall.
The golden light shone brightly, and the purple aura surrounded it. A vast expanse of white mist spread beneath the Cangling Hall. In the unity of heaven and earth, only the Cangling Hall stood alone.
"Divine Lord Chongming, please save her quickly!" As soon as Mo Qing opened his mouth, he noticed that there seemed to be a layer of mist in Chongming's eyes. He was slightly stunned. "Divine Lord Chongming?"
At this moment, the priestess had already pried open Yaohua's mouth, and a thing with a strange fragrance suddenly slipped into her throat.
Yaohua subconsciously vomited, but the thing melted as soon as it entered her mouth, leaving her no chance to spit it out.
The priestess suddenly stuffed the dagger in her hand into Yaohua's hand, tilted her chin towards Mo Qing, and spoke to Yaohua.
"Go, kill him, and I'll tell you."
Was this person daydreaming?
Sixth elder brother was her own elder brother. How could she possibly do such a heartless thing!
But things didn't go as she wished. The moment the dagger touched her hand, Yaohua's body was no longer under her control.
"Doesn't the little princess like to play the puppet technique?" The priestess's sinister voice sounded behind Yaohua. "Since so, let's have a good play with the little princess."
As the voice fell, Yaohua was led by the dagger towards Mo Qing. She couldn't even let go of the dagger.
Mo Qing dodged, and the phoenix fire around him burned fiercely, trying to break the restraint on Yaohua.
Rong Chu quietly appeared behind Yaohua. The misty white spiritual power directly wrapped around Yaohua's arms, preventing her from continuing to attack Mo Qing.
Yaohua immediately breathed a sigh of relief. But at this moment, the red hairband on her head suddenly sensed her master's predicament and fiercely fought with Rong Chu's spiritual power.
Although Rong Chu had been enlightened by Divine Lord Chongming and was already half - way into the realm of ascension, his cultivation days were still short. How could he fight against the spiritual power of Divine Lord Chongming?
Just as Mo Qing was urgently casting spells, Yaohua suddenly broke free from the restraint, and the dagger in her hand stabbed straight at Mo Qing's heart.
Yaohua suddenly opened her eyes wide.
Dodge! Sixth elder brother! Dodge quickly!
She couldn't say a single word. She could only watch helplessly as the dagger got closer to Mo Qing.
Three inches—
Two inches—
Sixth elder brother!
However, just as the dagger was about to pierce Mo Qing's chest, a dazzling white light suddenly fell from the sky!
The mist in Chongming's eyes dissipated. The faint glow surrounding him was even brighter than the moonlight. The spiritual current covering his palm was exactly the white light that had protected Mo Qing just now.
At the critical moment, her master was still reliable!
Yaohua's heart finally settled down, but she didn't even have time to relax, because her body started to act up again!
Help!
Master, please think of a way to save your poor disciple!
Chongming raised his palm again. The holy spiritual power was accompanied by a gentle chant, briefly restraining Yaohua.
Yaohua gradually felt that she had regained control of her body.
She suddenly threw away the dagger and turned around to throw herself into her master's arms.
"Master!"
She sobbed softly. She had almost killed her sixth elder brother!
Chongming gently hugged her, but his gaze was coldly fixed on the priestess.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the priestess immediately tore open the barrier under the protection of the divine messengers and prepared to escape.
Chongming pointed in the void, and the barrier instantly shattered.
Mo Qing and Rong Chu immediately blocked the priestess's way forward and backward.
"Still want to run?"
Mo Qing hated her to the core. The phoenix fire turned into a whip and directly tied her up tightly, then threw her at Yaohua's feet.
"Don't be afraid, sister. I've tied this guy up. You can vent your anger however you like!"
Yaohua was completely terrified. Her little face was as pale as a sheet. Looking at Mo Qing, her heart was filled with guilt.
"Sixth elder brother, I almost, almost killed you." Yaohua pursed her lips and cried again.
