nd a witch's thoughts And you don't need to. Just stay out of trouble, that's all that matters. As for how this place is laid out, that's the witches' concern." Master seemed annoyed by those witches...Ethereal.

Yes, I have some of those feelings.

Only in Mu Wanchen's embrace do I feel secure. When he turns away, my heart feels empty.

He seems like he could take flight at any moment, as ephemeral as a dream.

"...Do you know why the female Gu has been unable to find a host for many years" he said with a cold smirk at the corner of his mouth.

I watched him warily, waiting for what he would say next.

"Because it is destiny, the trend toward its end, natural selection is the normal cycle of life. However, under the protection of the Great Shaman's magic power, those mediocre Wuzhu people who have lost their spiritual awareness still survive. These inferior people have led to a bloodline that is increasingly diluted. Nowadays, besides using poison, few people in the Wuzhu tribe dare to say they can communicate with heaven and earth or all things."

He said lightly at first, but his tone grew increasingly stern.

" ... The witch clan branched out and intermarried with different races, giving birth to more and more waste. To the point that now, even waste can't be born!"

"How noble the She-Gu, she would rather remain unseen than be bound to the bodies of commoners. These useless people, with tails too big and cumbersome, hinder the transformation of the entire clan... The Witch Clan needs elite bloodlines, not these charlatans who only use petty gu techniques."

"Let go of what needs to be let go… Holding onto things that should be discarded will only exhaust you, leaving you unable to protect anything in the end. You're just an ordinary woman, why put yourself through this struggle for the survival of the Witch Clan It's a fight you can't win." He narrowed his eyes and stared at me.

But now the Female Gu is in my possession. “I stared at him, “To walk toward the end is destiny Then isn't this glimmer of hope also destiny!”

Your brainwashing won't work on me.

"Roar…" a heavy, deep sound came from far to near.

That sound was like a beast. I turned around and saw that there was a cat at Mu Xia Qiao's feet, a cat!

I was taken aback, where did this cat come from!

"This is a lynx! Haven't you seen it before!" Mu Xia Qiao stomped her foot amusedly and exasperatedly: "Little fiend, quickly—"

Before he could finish, the cat shook its fur and transformed its shape.

This is the lazy mythical beast from Nanshan! Turns out its Dharma Form is so cute.

Xiao Nie's gaze was sharp and steady, his eyes coldly fixed on the Dragon King before him—the Dragon King's hand remained hidden behind his back, ready to summon other Gu spirits at any moment.

The Dragon King narrowed his eyes slightly, the tea-colored lenses completely obscuring his gaze. I couldn't discern his intentions.

"Death's Mount, once you enter, there is no leaving... It's time to be destroyed, it's time to be destroyed..." He took a step back, and his body suddenly vanished!

"Hey! Is he even human How did he just disappear!" The young wife was startled.

Both of us can see ghosts, especially Mu Xia Qiao, she sees ghosts more than people. Suddenly a living person disappeared out of thin air, we were all ready for him to suddenly attack us, but then he just vanished!

Xiao Nie twitched her ears and said, "Something is strange about where he's standing…"

I walked over and reached out, waving my hand. Behind the tree was a cliff face, and as I reached out, half of my arm vanished.

"A maze," I frowned and took a step back. "This mountain has had centuries to build its fortifications, not to mention the mazes and poisonous fogs. The Dragon King must be very familiar with this place."

"You just said those people who hid in the mountains are in secret passages, could this be one of them" The young mistress asked cautiously. "The Dragon King also said he wants to destroy this place... what about the people inside..."

Here's the translation:

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Will they all be dead

"Run! I don't believe there would be no resistance at all, the Dragon King is just one person—"

I don't believe he could kill tens of thousands of people in such a short time. Xiao Nie carried me and my junior wife into the air, rushing towards the entrance of the secret passage where I had previously stopped.

Above was a dense mass of black clouds, and in front of the mountain, there was a storm of thunder and lightning, obscured by the haze, making it impossible to see the situation.

But I know Mu Wanchen is there.

Cuoqiu stood like a hill guarding the entrance, its mouth filled and closed, presenting an air of unwavering defense. As long as thunder and lightning still raged before the mountain, it meant they were still there.

As for the enemy, it must be that old monster hiding in the Chaotic Demon Dao. Otherwise, how could the Dragon King have taken the opportunity to sneak in

I have a feeling that the old monster is a former witch king. He must share the same ideals as the Dragon King, which allows them to check and balance Mu Wanchen in their own ways.

I don't know why they think destruction is the way out.

"Do not break, do not stand. I understand this principle. If there weren't so many people clinging to their old ways, perhaps we would all be living more fulfilling lives."

What elite bloodline, even the genes are problematic, still elite!

The entrance to the secret passage was in disarray, showing signs of some kind of impact. There were scattered stones on the ground, suggesting aftershocks must have occurred after I left.

I just can't figure it out, if there's an earthquake, why don't people go outside, instead they run into the mountains

Even the most solid places can be shaken down!

"Hmm... this must be Mu Wanchen's magic," the junior wife pointed at the vines covering the entrance to the secret passage.

Trees and vines in the mountains grew out from between cracks in the rocks, “pulling” tightly on the stone wall at the entrance of the secret path.

How could he still be distracted

How can you still be distracted

If his opponent could potentially break through space at any moment, how could he still be distracted by worrying about the safety of his people behind him

And these people he protected have no idea where they went! Won't they organize resistance

Even if he were a god, Mu Wanchen alone couldn't save so many people who are as chaotic as ants!

I was so angry that my liver hurt. I took a deep breath to calm myself down.

"Hey, Xiaoluo'er, what's wrong Did you cry" The junior mistress hurriedly supported my shoulders: "Don't worry, I'll have Qi Ye set up a magic circle. Soon we can create a large Yin-Yang well and quickly transfer these people to Miao Wangcheng."

I nodded, gritting my teeth and gathering my courage to run into the secret passage.

The vines supported the building's interior, which was filled with many corridors and rooms. This could indeed be a good place to hold out, but at this moment corpses littered the ground everywhere.

From deep within the tunnel came a ghostly growl. Slowly, I heard a shout —

"There's another one! Those attacked by the Corpse Devourer must be burned with talisman fire, or the corpse poison will spread!"

I was taken aback, and quickly ran in the direction the sound came from.

Soon, I saw an altar built inside the mountain. It was the largest space here, with many young and middle-aged people gathered. They held torches in their hands, wielding weapons, and various gu spirits crawled around haphazardly.

They seem, they seem to be preparing to attack their own people!

"——What are you doing!" I shouted.child.” Lord Lin assigned tasks: “You also need protection. There are some unseen things guarding Mu Xiaoqiao's child. It's safer for you to go there too.”"Okay... I understand. Be careful." I replied...
