I shook my head. "It wasn't Chen Shuyu!"

"It must be Bopi (Peeler)!"

"Bopi is the most afraid of death among the four ghost gods, and the easiest to control."

"Now, carefully thinking about how she threw herself into the net at the Tiewa Temple, I feel that Bopi returning to the Tiewa Temple makes sense, and it doesn't make sense."

"Lao Liu, maybe not activating Qian Hun Mie (Thousand Souls Extinguished) would be better, but if he activates it, Bopi will take action."

Wang Butcher said in a deep voice, "I'll go..."

I raised my hand to stop Wang Butcher, "It's too late. Lao Liu might have already made his move."

At that time, the situation on Lao Liu's side was just as I had guessed: they were on the verge of a decisive battle.

The Wu Clan formation near Lei Tao's tombstone only managed to delay the two Di (Earth) realm masters for a moment. Its only purpose was to buy time for the Miao Jiang Wu Clan to surround the Liangjie Tang (Two Realms Hall).

Closest to Lao Liu were the Miao warrior, forming the first line of encirclement with long sabers and rattan shields.

Behind the shields were archers holding blowguns and Gu masters controlling poison.

Poison darts that sealed the throat upon contact, coupled with ubiquitous Gu worms, were enough to trap most experts with just these two lines of defense. Moreover, there were hundreds of Wu masters on the outer perimeter, waiting in formation.

Xiang Kai smiled slightly, "Lao Bu, it looks like we're trapped this time. How about opening a path for our friends from Liangjie Tang?"

"Agreed!" As Bu Youming nodded, the true energy suddenly erupting from his arm tore his sleeve into shreds, revealing his left arm, which was tattooed with a Tengshe (Soaring Serpent).

As the snakehead on the back of Bu Youming's hand opened its eyes, a flash of blood-red light erupted, and a snake shadow several meters tall condensed behind Bu Youming.

The Wang Ming Gou (Life-Stealing Hook) in Xiang Kai's hand rose slightly, and the phantom of a yellow dragon coiled up from beneath his feet, standing behind Xiang Kai and extending its dragon claws. The claw tips, as sharp as knives, slowly overlapped with the Wang Ming Gou.

Xiang Kai laughed, "Xiao Tian, you fake foreign devil, don't get involved in the affairs of the Chinese occult world. You should leave! I'm revoking your honorary Di realm title."

Xia Xiaotian gripped his scythe without a word, and the black aura representing death erupted from his body like wolf smoke.

Lao Liu displayed Qian Hun Mie and released the four great ghost gods at the same time: "Prepare to break through!"

Just as the great battle between the two sides was about to erupt, the Hei Ye Xiao (Black Night Owl) in the middle of the Liangjie Tang crowd slowly spoke, "Everyone, stop! Have all the great witches of the Eighteen Villages come to see me."

Someone asked in the Miao language, "Who are you?"

As Hei Ye Xiao raised his hand towards that person, a strange symbol flashed in his palm. The man immediately knelt on the ground, his forehead touching the ground, muttering something in the Miao language.

In just a few seconds, all the warriors and archers had knelt down, and most of the witches behind them also knelt.

Only a dozen great witches walked over respectfully, kneeling down about three meters away from Hei Ye Xiao.

Xiao Kui, who had been brought out by Lao Liu and the others, blinked her eyes as she looked at Hei Ye Xiao, who had always been treated as "food."

She couldn't understand how this "steamed bun" that she chased all over the house could make all the Wu masters of Miao Jiang kneel down.

Out of curiosity, Xiao Kui grabbed Su Su's sleeve and climbed onto her, resting her chin on Su Su's shoulder, as if planning to get a better look.

Su Su was also a ghost god, but Xiao Kui not only didn't want to eat her, but also got along very well with her.

Hei Ye Xiao also wondered why Xiao Kui didn't eat Su Su.

Xiao Kui's explanation was: Su Su couldn't be eaten when she had good luck, because keeping Su Su would bring her more delicious food; and she couldn't be eaten when she had bad luck, because eating her would easily cause diarrhea!

Hei Ye Xiao wanted to cry but had no tears!

Xiao Kui whispered in Su Su's ear, "Can Hei Ye Xiao still be eaten?"

"Presumptuous!" More than a dozen Miao Jiang witches stood up at the same time.

Xiao Kui thought her voice wasn't loud, but the witches heard her clearly. They were furious and all stood up.

"Bastard!" Hei Ye Xiao swayed and slapped each of them in the face. "All of you, kneel down for me!"

The witches were stunned. They didn't understand why Hei Ye Xiao attacked, but his next words terrified them: "That is my daughter. Whoever dares to be presumptuous will have their nine generations exterminated!"

Hei Ye Xiao spoke in the Miao language, which Xiao Kui couldn't understand. She could only tug on Su Su's ear and ask, "What did Hei Ye Xiao say?"

Su Su said expressionlessly, "He said you're his wife!"

"Ah!" Xiao Kui bared her fangs and brandished her claws, wanting to pounce on Hei Ye Xiao, but Lao Liu grabbed her foot from behind, "Little Ancestor, this isn't Liangjie Tang, don't mess around!"

As Xiao Kui struggled to run, while Lao Liu was pulling, Bopi (Peeler), who had been guarding behind Lao Liu, quietly extended a finger that transformed into a blade and pressed down on Lao Liu's back.

If no one stopped Bopi, her blade would start from Lao Liu's back and slice all the way down to his tailbone. Lao Liu's skin would be peeled off alive after her strike.

The only ones who could stop her were Gero (Meat Cutter) and Tiggu (Bone Scraper), who were also guarding Lao Liu.

Not only did they not stop Bopi, but they also quietly moved their feet to block others' view.
