Fantasy: I'm in a discarded alchemy room, but I can turn trash into treasure!

Tang Mei's spirit raised her hand, and the black lines between the three women's brows tightened simultaneously.

Hua Meiniang's shoulders trembled, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth again.

"Now destroy your dantian and hand over your storage ring."

Tang Mei stared at Qin Mo and gently hooked her finger.

Qin Mo did not move.

Observing the state of Hua Meiniang and the other two, he had already made a judgment in his mind.

Each time the Soul Gu tightened, it stopped within a range that the three women could still bear.

Tang Mei wanted to force him to submit, but she didn't intend to kill him for the time being.

This is enough.

As long as she still wants to use the three women as bargaining chips, Qin Mo has time to stall.

"You can have the storage ring."

Qin Mo raised his hand, his palm resting on his waist. "Let them go first."

"Are you trying to negotiate with me?"

Tang Mei's soul shadow twisted slightly.

Hua Meiniang's face turned pale, and the black lines on her forehead lit up again.

She braced herself on the ground with both hands, her fingernails digging into the gravel, making it difficult even to lift her head.

Qin Mo's finger stopped on the storage ring, but his gaze swept past Tang Mei and around.

The corpse energy at Broken Soul Cliff was still churning.

The footsteps behind us had become chaotic.

The people of the Xiao clan and the cultivators who came after them were blocked by the three corpse generals.

The corpse general wasn't far from here, and the sound of the bronze armor scraping against the ground became increasingly clear.

"Tang Mei, you now only have a wisp of your soul left."

Qin Mo withdrew his gaze. "The longer you drag this out, the more your soul lamp will be damaged. If you really wanted to kill them, you would have done it already."

Soul Shadow's face paused for a moment.

Ji Hongxiao gripped the soul lamp tightly, her fingers clenching, and the color drained from her face.

Qin Mo was right.

Tang Mei controlled the three women using the Soul Lamp and Soul Gu, which consumed a considerable amount of energy.

She wanted to take away the storage ring, and even more so, she wanted to deprive Qin Mo of any chance to resist.

But she dared not kill the hostage immediately.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Tang Mei suddenly raised her hand.

Hua Meiniang groaned and fell forward.

Cang Wuyue gritted his teeth, the tip of his sword drawing a line on the ground.

The little blue-eared beast in Luo Xiaoman's arms let out a low cry, its claws tearing her sleeve.

Qin Mo's eyes darkened.

Just then, the little blue-eared beast suddenly raised its head.

Its ears were erect, and all four paws were taut.

The ground shook.

The rubble around Broken Soul Cliff kept jumping up, and the mist in the distance was pushed away by a heavy force.

"Who dares to touch my sister?"

A deep voice came from behind.

Luo Xiaoman looked up, her eyes widening immediately.

"Big brother!"

The pile of rubble suddenly exploded.

A burly man burst forth from the ground, the earth beneath his feet scattering in a shimmering light, his black armor covered in dirt.

When he landed, the entire Broken Soul Cliff sank by half a foot.

Luo Zhenyue raised his hand and pressed it against the ground.

boom!

An invisible force spread out from beneath his palm.

The surrounding red pebbles pressed down to the ground, and the scattered magical artifacts were forcibly pressed into the ground.

The soul lamp in Ji Hongxiao's hand emitted a sharp, resonant sound, and the blood patterns on the lamp quickly dimmed.

Tang Mei's soul was locked in mid-air by a force.

Just as she was about to activate the Soul Gu, an earth-yellow mark appeared between her eyebrows.

The black markings on the three women's bodies also stopped.

"The geomagnetic field!"

Tang Mei's voice changed tone.

Luo Zhenyue raised his head, his five fingers slowly closing.

"A remnant soul residing in another's body dares to touch the people of my Luo family."

The ground beneath the three women's feet sank simultaneously.

The earthen pillar rose from the ground, supporting the three people's bodies, and moved them sideways backward.

Hua Meiniang, Cang Wuyue, and Luo Xiaoman were enveloped in the earth light and instantly escaped the range of the Soul Gu Array.

The black lines lost their grip, and the color faded rapidly.

Hua Meiniang covered her shoulder, finally able to breathe smoothly.

"Master, he is Luo Zhenyue, the young master of Beast King Valley."

Hua Meiniang looked up at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo nodded, his gaze still fixed on what lay ahead.

Tang Mei did not give up.

The soul lamp suddenly cracked open, and a blood-red longsword shot out from it.

The sword, imbued with the pressure of a peak Golden Core cultivator, sliced ​​through all the corpse energy along its path, piercing straight towards Luo Zhenyue's brow.

"Get out of here!"

Ji Hongxiao's face was pale as she held the fragments of the soul lamp in her hands.

Luo Zhenyue did not back down.

The ground beneath his feet trembled again, and a large expanse of dust rose behind him.

A phantom of a demonic ape, tens of feet tall, rose from the earth, its arm muscles bulging, and raised its fist to meet the blood-red longsword.

Fists and swords clashed.

boom!

The crimson sword light shattered on the spot.

The demonic ape phantom's fist continued forward, piercing through the scattered sword energy, and slammed heavily into the Soul Lamp and Ji Hongxiao.

Ji Hongxiao's chest collapsed, and she flew backwards with the soul lamp, crashing into three stone pillars.

Tang Mei's soul was shattered into pieces. Just as it reassembled, she saw that Luo Zhenyue had caught up with her.

"Walk!"

Tang Mei gave a sharp shout.

The fragments of the soul lamp exploded, and blood-red patterns burst forth from Ji Hongxiao's body, instantly wrapping around her shoulders.

Ji Hongxiao spat out a mouthful of blood, her body turning into a bloody light, and was dragged away by Tang Mei into the distance.

Luo Zhenyue lifted his foot and chased after him.

"Keep an eye on my sister!"

As soon as the sound faded, he had already burrowed into the ground.

The earthen waves surged along the ancient road, chasing after the streak of blood.

Qin Mo turned to look at the three women.

Cang Wuyue stood up, supporting himself with his longsword, his face still grim.

Luo Xiaoman hugged the little green-eared beast tightly, and the bloodstains on her wrists were clearly visible.

Hua Meiniang took a few breaths before speaking in a low voice: "After we entered the ancient road, we ran into a group of Soul-Eating Beetles."

She raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth.

"Those things devour souls, and there are too many of them, so we had to hide in the cave. Who would have thought that Tang Mei's soul lamp was already hidden inside?"

Cang Wuyue's fingers trembled slightly.

"She set up a soul array and sealed the exit after we went in."

Luo Xiaoman looked down at the little blue-eared beast, her voice tight: "Big brother found me through the beast contract."

Qin Mo swept his gaze across the three women's brows.

The black lines have faded, but they haven't disappeared yet.

"The Soul Gu is still there."

"Can it be forced out?"

Hua Meiniang looked up and asked.

Just as Qin Mo was about to answer, a series of screams suddenly came from behind the ancient road.

The mist in the ancient road was torn apart by screams, and a stench carrying bits of flesh rushed towards us.

Qin Mo looked back and saw three tall, blood-red figures approaching, stepping over the corpses, with warm blood still flowing from the gaps in their red armor.

A crimson-armored corpse crashed through the fog wall, unleashing a sweeping black blade.

Several cultivators at the back were shattered along with their protective aura.

The second corpse general raised his hand and grabbed the head of a Golden Core cultivator, his five fingers tightening, blood flowing down the seams of his red armor.

The third corpse will drag a black bone chain as it walks out, and with each step it takes, more pieces of broken bone will appear on the ground.

The pursuing cultivators were thrown into complete chaos.

Some people dropped their magical artifacts and ran away, some turned around and rushed towards Qin Mo, and some had just taken out their escape talismans when they were pierced through from behind by a black knife.

The three corpses devoured those blocking their path, their speed increasing rapidly.

Qin Mo gripped the Thunder Sound Sword, its blade crackling with subtle lightning.

Hua Meiniang immediately stepped in front of Luo Xiaoman, and Cang Wuyue also raised his longsword again.

Qin Mo took a step forward.

"Step back."

Hua Meiniang bit her lip, but still led the two away.

Three crimson-armored corpses stepped over the wreckage, their six blood-red eyes rising simultaneously.

They didn't look at the corpses on the ground anymore.

All eyes fell on Qin Mo.
