The Palace Master frowned, somewhat puzzled: "Someone knocked on our door? Are you kidding? Tianzhu Palace is so hard to find. You definitely can't get in without someone to lead the way. Is there a traitor in our palace?"
As they were talking, they went to the fighting area to see what was going on. Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning led their people directly to the sacrificial site, because the butterflies would only stop when they landed on Jiang Hu.
The Palace Master was surprised to see so many people. All the people from Tianzhu Palace came out to resist, with Gu Xiangning leading the way. For a while, no one could stop them without the Grand Master coming out.
When the Palace Master saw this, he attacked Gu Xiangning directly. It was obvious that this young Palace Master was also a master.
Xiao Man was on guard to see if there were any other Grandmasters. He looked at Bu Feiying beside him and said, "Elder Bu, go up and fight that masked man."
The four elders have always been by Xiaoman's side, focusing on protecting Xiaoman. Moreover, the four elders have all reached the grandmaster level in cultivation.
When Bu Feiying heard this, he flew up and replaced Gu Xiangning. The Palace Master was dragged by someone, and Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning continued to move towards Jiang Hu.
With the Grandmasters in front paving the way, even if there were Grandmasters, they were all beaten up by a few people. Fortunately, there were not many Grandmasters in Tianzhu Palace, only four, and the four elders were just enough to fight.
What puzzled Xiaoman and Gu Xiangning was that the two monk masters did not show up. They didn't know whether they had left or hidden. They had to be careful in everything.
Soon a group of people had already fought their way to the sacrificial site. Seeing this scene, Xiaoman instantly became furious and was about to attack the old lady, but was stopped by Gu Xiangning: "Don't be impulsive."
"Master Wan, can you please stop?"
Xiao Manyi looked at Gu Xiangning with surprise: "Do you know this old lady?"
The old lady was relieved to see Gu Xiangning coming. Suddenly she changed her gesture, and the children realized that the power that absorbed their blood was gone.
At this time, the people in the martial arts world also rushed up and started fighting with the people in the Tianzhu Palace who controlled the children, because these children were their missing children.
In order to save their descendants, these people tried their best. The sacrifice had been destroyed, and there was no power to restrain these children. These children were successfully rescued by their families and taken with them.
Xiaoman was about to attack Jiang Hu, but was stopped by Gu Xiangning: "Wait a minute, Jiang Hu still has strength."
Gu Xiangning could sense these forces and couldn't help but frown. Wang Yanran in the wooden barrel was dumbfounded by the series of changes: "Gu Xiangning, Xiaoman, why are you here?"
Xiaoman also noticed Wang Yanran in the barrel at this time: "You are actually in the barrel. If you hadn't spoken, I wouldn't have recognized you. Interesting. What do you want to do?"
Wang Yanran saw that she could gain power, but unfortunately now she failed. She only felt pain and did not feel any gain at all. How could she be willing to accept this
Thinking of this, Wang Yanran's eyes were filled with hatred, and this trace of hatred was slowly magnifying, making her surroundings appear darker, but in this darkness, she didn't notice it.
Xiaoman looked at Gu Xiangning: "Husband, go up and kill her."
Gu Xiangning also felt uneasy. When he was about to go up and take action, a figure quickly passed Gu Xiangning, came to Wang Yanran's side, grabbed Wang Yanran, held her in his arms, and then flew away quickly.
Because he was worried about Xiaoman, Gu Xiangning did not chase after him. Xiaoman frowned and said, "That person was so fast just now."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "It was really fast. If he wasn't so focused on saving people, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to guard against him."
Xiao Man sighed, "I thought my martial arts were the best in the world, but I didn't expect that in the martial arts world, I am just an average one. I get angry just thinking about it."
Gu Xiangning raised the corner of his mouth: "Well, that man just now is the Palace Master of Tianzhu Palace. Anyone who can be the master of a palace must have extraordinary abilities. It's useless for you to be angry."
At this time, Bu Feiying came up and said, "Prime Minister, President, the Palace Master has escaped."
Xiaoman nodded: "I saw it. He took someone with him before he left. He must take Wang Yanran with him when he escapes. Wang Yanran must be very important to them. Elder Bu, go and help and arrest everyone in Tianzhu Palace."
Bu Feiying nodded and went to help arrest people. The masters on the opposite side were also defeated by several people working together. Soon, all the people in Tianzhu Palace were arrested and tied up one by one. The soldiers in the court began to finish the job in tacit understanding.
After searching the entire Tianzhu Palace and taking out all the wealth in it, they unexpectedly found dragon robes and other things inside. Gu Xiangning frowned and said, "Take these things to Kyoto and make the emperor upset."
At this moment, something happened on the altar. Jiang Hu suddenly yelled, sat on the ground, and fell into pain.
Xiaoman wanted to go forward, but was stopped by the old lady: "Don't disturb him. If he can hold on this time, he will gain great benefits. If he can't hold on, he will die."
Hearing this, Xiaoman looked at the old lady with dissatisfaction. Gu Xiangning walked up and looked at the old lady: "Master Wan, why are you here?"
Wan Jishi waved at his grandson, who came over quickly and supported Wan Jishi: "Master Gu, this is my grandson. I hope you can take him to Mingyue Island and let him grow up there."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Your grandson can go up naturally. Don't worry, I will take him there once I have arranged everything."
Master Wan looked at Gu Xiangning and said, "Thank you, Young Master Gu."
The child was a little surprised: "Grandma, don't you want me anymore?"
Master Wan looked at his grandson with a distressed look on his face: "How could grandma not want you? It's just that grandma won't survive tonight. Young Master Gu is a good man, so just follow him obediently, okay?"
The child nodded, tears welling up in his eyes, but he didn't dare cry. Gu Xiangning sighed, "Master Wan, please tell me what happened."
Gu An brought up a chair and asked Wan Jishi to sit down. Wan Jishi did not hesitate and sat down directly: "I was brought here by the Palace Master of Tianzhu Palace in the middle of last year. My little grandson was also captured with me."
"The purpose of capturing me is to know that I can perform sacrifices. They want to use my sacrificial ability to perform evil sacrifices. They want to use the internal energy in these children to forcibly transform it into the power of the woman in the barrel just now. They can also use my sacrificial ability to gain new abilities."
"I just reversed the sacrifice to save the lives of these children. I could have killed that woman, but she let this child stand in front of her. To kill her, I must kill Jiang Hu, the child."
"So I chose not to do it. I don't know whether that woman has gained any abilities. We can only wait and see after Jiang Hu survives. If he gains new abilities, that woman will most likely be able to gain the same abilities."
After saying this, the old lady spat out black blood. She seemed to have run out of energy and collapsed on the chair without a sound.
Her little grandson couldn't hold back any longer, and knelt in front of the Wanji Master and started crying. Gu Xiangning looked at Xiaoman and said, "Such a sacrifice usually requires a sacrifice. The Wanji Master used himself to replace these children and become a sacrifice. He can't survive at all."
When everyone heard Gu Xiangning's words, they all looked at the old lady with admiration and gratitude. They even asked the children to kowtow to the old lady to thank her for saving their lives.
Xiaoman was also a little surprised: "Is this priest Wan the old priest of the Wan family?"
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Yes, it was because of her sudden disappearance that Wang Ya had no choice but to take Ling Ling with her. Ling Ling has been trained as a candidate for a priest since she was a child, and she will give everything for this."
Xiaoman blinked and happened to see the Eighth Miss of Feiyun Castle, also called Lingling, and nodded: "It's a bit pitiful."
She looked towards Jiang Hu. She was more worried about whether Jiang Hu could make it. Bu Feiying went to arrange for the people below to rest.
And Xiao Mu, the grandson of Master Wan, looked at Gu Xiangning and said, "Master Gu, can I cremate my grandmother? I want to take her ashes to Mingyue Island and bury her. My grandmother said that she came from there and wanted to go back there."
Gu Xiangning nodded: "Okay, I'll help you."
The children who were rescued saw this scene and came forward to see off Master Wan. It must be said that these children still have a conscience.
The children went to collect firewood and made a fire. After sending the priest and the bench to the fire, Xiao Mu was about to light the fire when he heard Xiao Man say, "Wait a minute, wait for Jiang Hu."
Although Jiang Hu was practicing, he could also feel what was happening in the outside world. After hearing Xiaoman's words, he was finally able to control his behavior. He opened his eyes, stood up, walked in front of Master Wan, knelt down and kowtowed to him.
Looking at the small piece of wood: "Burn it."
Xiao Mu put the torch on the fire and it started up instantly. Xiao Mu stayed beside the fire and Gu Xiangning asked Gu An to watch him.
Turning to look at the children, he said, "You have all been frightened. Go back and rest. After what happened, you must be more careful in the future. Also, don't let anyone know what happened today. Do you understand?"
After capturing the people from Tianzhu Palace, Gu An began to clear the area. Except for the families of these children who were left behind, everyone else had other arrangements.
These people nodded, indicating that they would keep the secret, and then took the children downstairs to rest.
