"Taoist Friend Mo!!"
Qin Gengyun’s eyes were about to burst with rage, clutching the Heaven-Reaching Staff, he was about to charge down, but the Earth Mole let out a bizarre laugh and dove underground once more.
Liu Su exclaid, "This beast has done everything just to devour Xiaoxue and them!"
Previously, Chang Shengzi had been beaten fiercely by Qin Gengyun but never showed any ability of Earth Escape, and later used the Thousand Corpses Painting to throw the scene into chaos.
Only to burrow underground, waiting for the mont to swallow Mo Xiaolan and the three in one gulp.
Before Qin Gengyun and his group broke into the mansion, Chang Shengzi was just a step away from transforming into a complete Earth Mole.
Yet, he was interrupted by the strike from Miss Hamr.
After all his scheming, he finally managed to swallow Mo Xiaolan and Fang Xue, the prey with the purest spiritual power and Primordial Yin, and added Si Minglan to the mix.
Absorbing the spiritual energy and Primordial Yin from these three, he could beco a genuine Ancient Divine Beast!
He drilled deep into the ground, anticipating that by the ti that ferocious couple found him, he would’ve completed his transformation and feared no one!
As Chang Shengzi drilled deeper underground, he absorbed the spiritual energy and Primordial Yin from the three female cultivators in his mouth.
Suddenly, a dazzling gold light burst forth from his mouth.
"Ow!!"
Chang Shengzi let out a piercing wail and spat out the three won, but his mouth had already been scorched into a large hole!
That’s not all, the terrifying gold light penetrated into his body, rampaging about, soon causing countless tiny cracks to appear all over his body surface.
Just like the surface of porcelain being shattered.
Gold light emanated from the cracks, burning Chang Shengzi’s body and soul like a fla!
"How could this happen?!" It shrieked in agony, realizing the gold light actually ca from the tallest of the three female cultivators!
Her eyebrows were elegant and firm, exuding strength, seated cross-legged on the ground, her whole body radiated golden light, appearing dignified like a treasured statue!
"Who, who, who are you?!"
Fear welled up in Chang Shengzi’s heart, a natural fear akin to a beast facing its predator!
Because it suddenly discovered, this cross-legged sitting woman emitting divine light looked just like the statue in the decrepit Taoist temple where he found the Celestial Beast Record Earth Mole Scroll!
Bang!
At that mont, the ground above crumbled, a massive staff smashed down, exposing Chang Shengzi and the three female cultivators.
At this mont, the gold light around Mo Xiaolan faded, while Si Minglan and Fang Xue were similarily unconscious on the ground.
Above them appeared Qin Gengyun’s furious and anxious face, upon seeing the scene below, his expression turned fierce:
"Chang Shengzi! Your life ends here!!"
The giant staff rapidly shrank into an embroidery needle, its entire body emanating golden-yellow light, shot out like lightning, piercing through the Earth Mole’s body and out the other side.
Then it stabbed in over and over again!
The embroidery needle transford into dots of gold light, continually piercing through the Earth Mole’s insides.
Soon, the massive body was pierced into a hornet’s nest.
Previously wounded by the gold light from Mo Xiaolan, now pierced several tis by Qin Gengyun’s golden needle, Chang Shengzi’s quasi-human, quasi-beast face instantly stiffened.
Its gaping mouth opened but the voice was no longer sharp, reverting to a hoarse old man:
"Why, why... why can’t a Loose Cultivator practice the Longevity Technique? It’s unfair, unfair..."
The next mont, the massive Demonic Beast body exploded!
The surrounding ground was blasted into a gigantic pit!
For a brief mont, flesh and blood soared through the sky, then rained down, creating a crimson downpour across the Patriarch’s entire mansion courtyard.
Nonetheless, the people on the ground had no ti to marvel at this rare scene as they fought intensely against the Spirit Corpses, which felt no pain and had hardened bodies.
So of the Spirit Corpses even broke out from the Chang Mansion, biting whoever they encountered along the way!
Soon enough, the whole Xingluo Town plunged into chaos.
At this mont, only Qiu Zhihe and Liu Su remained calm while surrounded by the Spirit Corpses, showing no fear.
The two were shielded by a Protective Array that the Spirit Corpses couldn’t breach.
"Husband!"
Qiu Zhihe showed no concern for the Spirit Corpses, standing before the massive pit, shouting below.
Liu Su pouted and said, "Master’s too much, once his old lover’s in trouble, he stops caring about Miss and jumped right in! Miss, let’s treat him coldly!"
Qiu Zhihe cast a cold glance at Liu Su, then looked down into the deep pit, her brows furrowed:
"The Earth Mole’s dead, why isn’t he coming out?"
"Tch, he must be playing hero now, embracing his sweetheart down there, probably holding both in his arms! Ugh! Miss, I haven’t flirted, why hit ? Ow!"
Just as Liu Su whined, a silhouette flew out from the pit below.
"Miss, it’s Master!"
Liu Su called, clutching her head, Qiu Zhihe’s face shed its worry but then returned to being icy.
Qin Gengyun landed holding the unconscious Mo Xiaolan on one side, and Fang Xue and Si Minglan on the other, promptly addressing Liu Su:
"Susu, quickly use the Mist Spirit Eye on Xiaoxue and Taoist Friend Si, their breath doesn’t seem right!"
Noting his solemn deanor, Liu Su ceased her fussing, promptly activating the Mist Spirit Eye to check the two won, then said monts later:
"They’ve been poisoned, and there’s a stench of the Earth Mole inside them; we must urgently find a cure! Master, not checking your Taoist Friend Mo?"
Ignoring Liu Su’s sardonic tone, Qin Gengyun replied:
"I’ve already checked Taoist Friend Mo, she’s fine."
Liu Su squinted, "Master, how did you check?"
Qiu Zhihe said nothing, rely observing him coolly, prompting Qin Gengyun to hastily clarify:
"I just injected a surge of spiritual energy into Taoist Friend Mo and found her spiritual power flowing smoothly, hence she’s unaffected by the Earth Mole’s dark aura."
Then he specifically addressed Qiu Zhihe, "Wife, I did nothing else!"
Qiu Zhihe glanced at the arm still holding Mo Xiaolan, her expression frigid.
At this point, Mo Xiaolan slowly opened her eyes, Qin Gengyun rejoiced, eagerly asking:
"Taoist Friend Mo, how do you feel?"
Mo Xiaolan gently shook her head, realizing she was in Qin Gengyun’s embrace, her eyes shifted from temporary confusion to instant clarity, promptly standing up, leaving his arms.
"I’m fine, Taoist Friend Qiu, I just fainted, please don’t misunderstand."
Qiu Zhihe remained silent, her gaze fell on Mo Xiaolan’s bulging chest, Mo Xiaolan exclaid and quickly reached under her outer garnt, retrieving the baby hidden inside.
When she was suddenly swallowed by the Earth Mole, she hurriedly hid the baby she had been holding in her cloak.
Checking the infant now, apart from a few minor external wounds, fortunately, he had not been tainted by the Earth Mole’s dark aura.
Seeing the others staring, the child suddenly chuckled at them.
"Wonderful, wonderful, Sister Yue Ying, your child is safe!"
Mo Xiaolan joyfully cradled the baby, recalling the child’s mother and the female cultivators who had perished in the dungeon, her eyes turned red.
"Miss, look at this child, isn’t he adorable!"
Liu Su tickled the little girl, chuckling herself.
Qiu Zhihe did not respond, withdrew her gaze from the infant, concealing the flash of envy and compassion, coldly stating:
"I don’t like children."
