People in the Qin Dynasty, entertained during the Warring States period

Outside the city, in a mass grave.

The towering, peerless ghost was fast asleep, leaning against the grave mound.

The handsome and eerie corpse-driving demon would occasionally shake the soul bell, his lips constantly chanting ancient incantations. From time to time, faintly glowing green worms would emerge from his sleeves and scatter on the ground around him.

"The corpses here are awful, they have no taste whatsoever."

With a full head of white hair and a sinister, silent demeanor, the King of Poisons held a snake staff, collecting corpse poison bit by bit and carefully placing it into a unique pottery bottle from the Baiyue region.

"Is there still no news about Yan Ling Ji?"

The Corpse-Driving Demon yawned. "I didn't see any runes or secret codes for Yan Lingji in the city."

The King of Poisons said in a low voice, "Wait another day. If Yan Lingji still doesn't show up, we'll leave."

The Peerless Ghosts cannot speak and are dull-witted; even now, they still do not know who has captured Yan Lingji.

All that can be confirmed is that Yan Lingji is probably not in danger, otherwise Wushuang Gui wouldn't have left so easily, let alone be able to sleep.

“Okay…” Before the Corpse-Driving Demon could finish speaking, a charming voice came from behind.

"Everyone, thank you for waiting."

The Peerless Ghost, who was still fast asleep, suddenly woke up and saw Yan Lingji standing on the grave. He roared happily, which made the Hidden Witch Corpse Demon involuntarily reach out his little finger to pick his ear.

"Yan Ling Ji, what happened? We've been waiting for you for so long."

Yan Lingji smiled charmingly, "Little Hidden Witch, I don't have time to explain. Prepare for battle."

The Corpse-Driving Demon was slightly taken aback. The Hundred Poison King looked sharply at Yan Lingji's back, where a woman holding a bamboo flute was walking gracefully towards her.

"Yan Lingji, you betrayed us?"

The King of Poisons looked at Yan Lingji with a hoarse voice and a gloomy gaze.

Yan Lingji said calmly, "If I were truly betrayed, I wouldn't have come here."

In the short time it took to say a few words, Li Wu approached the four people from afar.

"So that's why you dared to run away, it turns out your accomplices came."

Yan Lingji smiled and said, "Sister Xiao Wu, I advise you to leave, or you'll suffer."

Li Wu glanced at the three people behind Yan Lingji; all of them were at the second-rate level.

The big guy with chains binding his body should be the peerless ghost that Cao Ze mentioned. He has unparalleled combat power and can fight against top-level masters. If he were on the battlefield, he would definitely be a fierce general.

However, she was not afraid at all.

Perhaps Wushuang Gui was born with superhuman strength, but her attacks can affect the soul.

Seeing that Li Wu did not back down, Yan Lingji shouted, "Attack!"

Wushuang Gui roared and strode towards Li Wu, causing the ground to tremble.

Li Wu easily dodged the attack, and a short flute note sounded, slowing down the movements of the hit Wushuang Gui.

Yan Lingji sneered and launched several flames at Li Wu, but Li Wu easily broke through them.

The Corpse-Driving Demon shook the Soul-Shaking Bell slightly and chuckled, "Interesting."

Li Wu's expression changed slightly. The illusion she had used to control Wushuang Gui had been broken by that strange young man.

The King of Poisons unleashed a pale green mist, forcing Li Wu to retreat repeatedly to avoid being poisoned.

She looked at the four people in front of her with apprehension. No wonder Cao Ze said that these people, if prepared, would be a deadly weapon.

Yan Lingji placed her hands on her stomach and smiled smugly, "How about it? Want to try again?"

She didn't have any ill feelings towards Li Wu, and besides, she still needed Cao Ze to rescue Tian Ze, so she didn't intend to make things difficult for Li Wu.

Li Wu silently took out a Fire Meteor (signal flare) and fired it.

Since that's the case... then don't blame her for releasing Jingni!

Inside the city, Cao Ze and Jing Ni simultaneously noticed Li Wu's fiery meteor.

Outside the city, Yan Lingji frowned and said quickly, "Let's go!"

Li Wu twirled her bamboo flute and chuckled, "With me here, do you think you can escape?"

Green flames appeared on the Hundred Poisons King's palm as he hoarsely said, "Then I'll deal with you first."

The Corpse-Driving Demon shook the Soul Bell vigorously. "This young lady may not know this, but I am..."

"The Corpse-Driving Demon is skilled at manipulating corpses with Gu worms. This is a mass grave, which can be considered your home ground."

Li Wu spoke as she retreated, watching them from a distance.

The Corpse-Driving Demon's expression stiffened as he looked at Yan Lingji.

Yan Lingji's eye twitched slightly. "Would you believe me if I said I didn't tell her your information?"

She racked her brains but couldn't figure out how Cao Ze knew so much about them. Surely he couldn't have been paying attention to Baiyue for a long time and known about their existence?

This has made it very difficult for her to prove her innocence, which infuriates her.

The King of Poisons declared decisively, "We'll talk about it later!"

The four of them attacked together, but Li Wu avoided a direct confrontation, instead leading them in circles.

Among them, Yan Lingji was the most anxious, as she was well aware of Jing Ni's strength.

A grandmaster is enough to take care of them all.

Yan Lingji gritted her teeth and said, "Stop fighting! Let's leave Xinzheng!"

The Corpse Demon was about to complete the zombie setup and restrain Li Wu when he heard Yan Ling Ji say she was giving up. He was a little unhappy. "I can trap her in the time it takes to brew a cup of tea at most."

A cup of tea would be enough for that woman to come over with the child and chop us into mincemeat... Yan Lingji groaned helplessly in her heart.

She hadn't expected that Li Wu would have a fire meteor that seemed to be used to communicate with Jing Ni.

Even more unexpectedly, Li Wu stopped them from fighting.

"There's no time left, it'll be too late..."

"Oh? It's you guys."

Cao Ze was overjoyed to see the Baiyue matchmaking team appear; they were all outstanding talents!

The Fire Girl can cook and bathe in hot water.

The Unparalleled Demon can charge into battle, advancing bravely and relentlessly.

The Corpse-Driving Demon comes with its own undead calamity, making it ideal for civil engineers to use in construction projects.

The Poison King is capable of creating a poison that can kill an entire city with a thousand nights of poisoning, making him a true master of biological weapons.

Following Tianze is a complete waste of his talent.

Li Wu darted to Cao Ze's side and gracefully appeared, asking softly, "How did you get here so quickly?"

"I just happened to be leaving Zilan Pavilion, so it's on the way."

Unlike Feixue Pavilion, which is built in the city, Zilan Pavilion is built near the city gate and along the main street.

He strongly suspected that his second uncle must have a wealth of experience in fleeing.

Yan Lingji pursed her lips, looking somewhat depressed and dejected.

A few breaths later, Jing Ni, wearing fish-scale armor, arrived, carrying Xiao Yan'er in one arm and holding the Jing Ni sword in the other.

Yan Lingji was even more desperate.

Cao Ze waved his hand: "Fire Princess, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go home."

Fire Fairy... Corpse Demon and Poison King subconsciously looked at Flame Spirit Fairy, whose eyes were flaming with small flames.

Yan Lingji took a deep breath and said, "If you want me to go back, you can, but only if you rescue Tianze, and then I'll go with you!"

The King of Poisons nodded slightly, acknowledging Yan Lingji's loyalty.

Cao Ze shrugged. "Well, there's nothing I can do about that."

He turned around, took the still-sleeping Xiao Yan'er from Jing Ni's arms, and gently coaxed her.

"Go easy on us, we're on the same side."

He wanted to see Jing Ni's strength as she entered the Grandmaster realm, and the Baiyue Heavenly Group was a good touchstone.

Li Wu stood with her hands on her hips, her delicate, rounded chin slightly raised, as proud as a little hen.

She knew that as long as Jingni was released, the matter would be basically resolved.

Cao Ze glanced at Li Wu and snorted, "Look at you, you can't let someone get away. I'll beat you up when we get back."

Li Wu blushed slightly and spat lightly, "You're so unserious!"

……

Chapter 272 Yan Lingji, Take Care

Jing Ni took a step forward, sword in hand.

Even before the sword was drawn, its sword intent had already burst forth.

The surrounding world seemed to come alive, with faint sounds of swords echoing, as if at this moment, the world had become a world of swords.

Cao Ze pondered this carefully and couldn't help but marvel, "Is this the master who has opened the bridge between heaven and earth, mastered the changes in his body, and resonated with heaven and earth?"

Before even making a move, he had already overwhelmed his opponent with his momentum.

Yan Lingji's face was very dark, as if she had been smothered by black smoke while burning firewood.

Cold sweat beaded on the corpse-driving demon's forehead. "Yan Lingji, are we really going to fight?"

The naive, childlike Wushuang Ghost roared uneasily.

The hand holding the snake staff was trembling as the Poison King finally made a difficult decision.

"Yan Ling Ji...you should go with them."

Their ultimate goal was to rescue Tianze. The three people in front of them already had the ability to kill them without a burial place. In addition, they had no ill intentions. In his opinion, it was the right thing to do to back down.

"You, King of Poisons!"
