I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

The melancholy eeriness leaned closer, looked at the map in Zhang Yangqing's hand, and began to analyze: "This map is hand-drawn, and very carefully made. Look at these notes, the contents don't seem like some kind of curse, but rather like they are really teaching something."

Zhang Yangqing picked it up and looked at it; it was indeed true.

The handwriting was neat and orderly, with lines out the essentials of basic cultivation, the rhythm of breathing, and the routes of energy circulation, along with annotations and corrections, as if someone were repeatedly revising it.

Although the room looks a bit dilapidated, the materials here are very well made, teaching people to read and to cultivate themselves, with every stroke of the pen done with patience.

Not long after, Miss Nine arrived with the red-haired psychic.

When she entered the classroom, she paused for a moment, her gaze sweeping over the desks and chairs as if she were recalling something.

She didn't feel any aversion; on the contrary, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if it were an old place she hadn't visited in a long time.

Zhang Yangqing asked, "Miss Jiu, have you been here before?"

Miss Jiu nodded: "That's right, my eldest sister used to teach us here."

Her tone was natural, and she sounded nostalgic.

These words made Zhang Yangqing thoughtful.

The young lady taught them; she wrote those notes and drew those maps.

She spent a lot of time here, teaching her younger siblings stroke by stroke.

Zhang Yangqing said, "Ninth Miss, the Eldest Miss is in the basement now, and the Sixth Young Master is there too. Do you want to go see them? Do you want to know the truth about the deaths of your older brothers and sisters?"

Miss Jiu's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yangqing had Miss Jiu touch the map, while he thought about entering the basement.

Miss Jiu did as she was told. As soon as her fingers touched the surface of the map, the lines began to flow, and the map turned into a vortex that swept them all in.

The four landed in the basement.

It was dim, damp, and filled with a menacing atmosphere, with a musty smell in the air, as if the room hadn't been ventilated in a long time.

The walls were rough stone, and the ground beneath our feet was wet, muddy.

This is the first basement level.

The four walked in, and soon they heard the sounds of fighting; the muffled thuds of colliding energy echoed back and forth in the narrow passage.

They walked to the door of a room and peered inside through the crack in the door.

The room was very large and spacious, unlike anything found underground.

Two powerful figures are fighting, and each collision makes the walls tremble.

A female demon resembling a young lady, over two meters tall, with dark blue skin, sharp muscle lines, and black bloodstains on her claws.

Her eyes were blood red with vertical pupils, and she emitted a low growl.

There was a deep wound on one arm, from which black liquid was dripping, but she did not slow down.

She lunged at the massive figure opposite her, her claws tearing through the air with a sharp, explosive sound.

The other is the Sixth Young Master, whose body has already merged with the eerie entity.

Half of its face still resembled a human, while the other half was covered in jet-black scales. One eye was a normal black, while the other had a dark red vertical pupil, making it resemble both a snake and a lizard.

Several bone spurs grew on his back, his arms became thicker, and his fingernails turned into claws.

It was a bit slower than the young lady, but its defense was very strong, and it did not suffer any obvious damage even after being hit several times.

The fact that they were able to fight in this building is all due to a bug.

Zhang Yangqing had suspected before that the Ninth Miss could kill other young masters and ladies because she was half-monster. The two in front of him were not purely human either, but rather in a state of being half-monster and half-demon, which was why they could attack each other without being restricted by rules.

The eldest young lady and the sixth young master were evenly matched, and neither of them gained the upper hand.

Every advance of the young lady was blocked by the sixth young master, and the sixth young master's counterattacks were always dodged by the young lady.

The two fought for quite a while, and both sustained new injuries.

Then, the sixth young master and the eldest young lady simultaneously noticed the gaze coming from the crack in the door.

When the young lady saw Zhang Yangqing and the others, she grasped at them like a lifeline, her voice urgent: "Come help me! It was Sixth Brother who killed Third Sister and Fifth Brother, he deserves to die! If you don't kill him, you'll all die too!"

Her voice echoed in the empty room, hoarse and strained.

The sixth young master chuckled, a laugh mixed with an eerie hiss, sounding both harsh and deep: "Eldest sister, you still dare to criticize me? You killed the eighth prince, you were disloyal to the mistress! When the mistress returns, she will definitely settle accounts with you! I only killed those who deserved to die, so what?"

He turned his eerie face and looked at Zhang Yangqing and the others: "You guys help me. When the mistress comes back, I will tell her how good you are!"

Both of them were trying to win Zhang Yangqing's support.

Zhang Yangqing knew that this was a test.

The eldest young lady and the sixth young master are evenly matched; if one is helped, the other will die.

It's about choosing a faction; if you choose the wrong one, the chosen one will die.

And they also need to be able to help.

One appears to be seeking revenge for his brothers and sisters, while the other is a loyal mistress.

Without hesitation, Zhang Yangqing said to the three people behind him, "Step back."

Then he took a step forward, and the halo on his gloves began to flow.

Zhang Yangqing didn't even ask any questions before starting to help the young lady.

His gloves lit up, and a halo of light condensed in his palm into a pale purple arc, which he pushed towards the Sixth Young Master.

The arc of light did not hit the Sixth Young Master directly, but grazed his body, drawing an invisible boundary around him.

The sixth young master's movements were noticeably slower, as if he was entangled by something.

Seizing the opportunity, the young lady unleashed her demonic power, sending a dark cyan lightning bolt hurtling towards the sixth young master.

Her claws tore open the scales on the sixth young master's side, and black liquid spurted out.

The sixth young master roared, turned half his body around, and punched the eldest young lady. The eldest young lady slid back a few steps and retreated to Zhang Yangqing's side.

Zhang Yangqing finished the job, and the halo on the glove lit up again. A pale purple arc cut into the Sixth Young Master's joint, causing his movements to slow down for another second.

The young lady charged forward again, this time her claws piercing directly into the sixth young master's chest.

The Sixth Young Master has three hearts, three different cores, each controlling one of his three different abilities.

One is in the left chest, one is in the right chest, and one is deep in the abdominal cavity.

The young lady's claws tore open the first one, and black liquid gushed out. The sixth young master's body swayed, and he opened his mouth, spraying a cloud of black gas towards Zhang Yangqing.

Zhang Yangqing dodged to the side, the halo on his glove brushing against the edge of the black mist. The black mist veered off course and struck the wall beside him, leaving a charred pit.

The young lady took the opportunity to tear open the second heart.

The sixth young master's body began to deform, and his dark red vertical pupil contracted violently. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but only a hoarse, leaky sound came out.

The young lady raised her hand again, her sharp claws piercing his abdominal cavity and tearing out his third heart. (End of Chapter)
