Chapter 1369: Chapter 1363

Two brothel women collapsed dead on the spot, their bodies instantly consumed by flames, leaving only two pools of blood on the ground.

Zhao Tianming was rendered speechless, not daring to utter a single word.

Too cruel.

Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue, witnessing this scene, also remained silent.

Murong Ziyue secretly exchanged a glance with Xin Lin.

She anxiously surveyed her surroundings, clearly looking for her mother’s figure.

Xin Lin gestured for her to stay calm.

"In one breath, it has devoured too much Ghost Energy. The rest should be locked up."

The bluish-purple flame let out a satisfied burp.

Tonight, it was truly stuffed; twenty ghost soldiers at once slightly compensated for the weakened ghost due to the loss of the Ghost Pill.

"The men to the left, the women to the right, no noise, or I’ll eat you."

The bluish-purple flame had a fiery temper, separating the remaining living people and imprisoning them separately.

Inside the cave, there were originally prison cells set up.

But unlike the bright outside, inside the cells, it was dim and dark, so dark that reaching out, one’s hand was invisible.

Owing to the female ghost’s intimidation, no one dared to utter a word after being confined.

Fortunately, both Xin Lin and Murong Ziyue were martial artists, their eyesight and hearing exceptional.

They could discern that there were other people in the cell.

"Mother?"

Murong Ziyue suddenly whispered.

At this moment, in the far corner of the cell, a frail shadow moved.

"Ziyue? Is that you! My child!"

The shadow exclaimed, provoking a burst of curses from within the cell.

"You want to die, keep it down, if you attract the female ghost, we’ll all die with you."

The ones cursing were a few second-class maids accompanying the marriage and some of Ghost Shiva’s old nannies.

They were cursing when suddenly, several crisp slaps were heard, the leading nannies were slapped so hard that their teeth fell out.

Those maids and old nannies instantly fell silent, hissing as they took sharp breaths.

"Dare to curse again, no need for the female ghost, I’ll turn you into ghosts myself."

Xin Lin said coldly, eyes gleaming with cold light.

The commotion in the cell did not alarm the female ghost, or perhaps the female ghost simply couldn’t care less about what was happening inside.

Murong Ziyue had already found her mother.

"Ziyue, how did you get caught too? My poor child, why did you come back? It’s all my fault for being useless these years, constantly dragging you down."

Murong Ziyue’s mother, Wan Niang, was a gentle and graceful woman. She didn’t know martial arts and was delicate in physique, speaking softly, yet her spirit was very resilient. After being captured, unlike the maids and nannies who wept endlessly, she instead breathed a sigh of relief.

In her view, even being eaten by the female ghost was better than remarrying.

"Mother, how could I leave you behind? Rest assured, my injuries have healed. I came this time to rescue you. Moreover, the Family Head promised me that if we can capture the female ghost, you won’t have to remarry."

Murong Ziyue caressed her mother’s now even thinner face, aching with empathy.

Hearing this, Wan Niang couldn’t help but express surprise, grasping Murong Ziyue’s hand.

"Ziyue, how foolish you are. That female ghost is very powerful, beyond your ability to handle. She has already devoured many people, including some very skilled mercenaries. Moreover, even if you rescue me, it won’t matter, for I have been poisoned. If we do not reach Yunshui City within seven days, I am doomed."

Wan Niang sighed as she spoke.
