The Emperor's Daughter Arrives: Upgrade to Fight Monsters and Find Husbands

There is a square outer courtyard, which occupies about one-third of the entire village. It is separated from the front courtyard by a wall, leaving only a small door in the center. The wall is very high, about ten feet.

There was a large pot in the center, with a ladder between the pot's edge and the ground. The cauldron was emitting thick smoke outside, and the smoke almost filled the yard. The strange smell made people feel particularly uncomfortable.

There were more than twenty people on the left side of the yard. They were all in wretched condition, tied with ropes, and their spiritual power was imprisoned. Most of them fainted, and only a few of them still had a glimmer of consciousness, leaning against their companions and sobbing softly.

Behind was a mountain-like pile of rags, most of which had turned into small gray-black pieces.

On the right side are a pile of hemp ropes and a large bucket. Inside the large bucket is more than half a bucket of milky-white glue with some fine foam. There were two skeletons placed next to the bucket. The bones were well-proportioned and beautiful, crystal clear like jade, and there was milky white stuff on them, as if they had just been poured on them.

"Master, this..." Zhuzhu also saw the clothes piled up like a hill, "How many people have to be killed."

"Come on, do it." The lame man greeted, and he and the tall, half-blind man walked toward the crowd.

A girl in the outer circle is closest to the two on the ground, her eyes are half-open and bloodshot. Judging from her age, she was only in her twenties. The hem of her clothes had been broken into strips and there were holes in her cuffs.

Seeing the two people heading towards her, she shivered even more fiercely, and two lines of clear tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes, staining her clothes along her cheeks.

"woo woo woo woo--"

The girl was crying, her teeth clashed together, and she was trembling. She witnessed many people being caught and thrown into the furnace, turning into bones in the blink of an eye. This place is in the wilderness, and no one will come here at all.

She knew that she would not escape death today, so she closed her eyes resignedly.

"If you want to blame, it's your bad luck." The lame man said, suddenly laughing, looking particularly sinister. Although doing this kind of work is indeed extremely tiring, the pleasure of being able to decide the life and death of others also gives him great spiritual enjoyment.

Just as he and the half-blind man were about to lift the girl into the cauldron, they suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in their wrists.

The lame man immediately became alert: "Who!"

The half-blind man became nervous when he heard this sound. He looked around and asked doubtfully: "Are you sleepy?"

How could anyone come in here? This Zhuangzi is surrounded by a barrier. Even if someone comes in, they will be alerted first. What's more, how could anyone come here in the middle of nowhere?

The cripple screamed, with a look of pain on his face, and raised his right arm numbly: "Ouch, I can't use my wrist anymore..."

"Let me take a look." As he said that, the half-blind man put one eye towards the cripple's right wrist, and then discovered that there was an extremely small thorn stuck on it.

The half-blind man picked out the little thorn, handed it to the lame man, and flicked it away. Said: "If you ask me, you accidentally pricked it."

"But, here, I really don't have any strength left."

Although the small thorn was picked out, the cripple still had a painful look on his face. Seeing that there was really no one there, he had to say, "Maybe I accidentally scratched it and accidentally dug into an acupuncture point. I can only go to the town to find someone tomorrow to take a look." .Tough luck!”

The half-blind man glanced at him suspiciously with one small eye: "Just this little thorn? Can it make you hurt like this?"

The lame man stood there breathing heavily, looking extremely resentful. Logically speaking, it shouldn't happen. He has rough skin and thick flesh. Normally, you wouldn't feel anything like this when a thorn pierces it. Who knows how he could be so evil!

"What bad luck!" The lame man lowered his right hand and glared at the crying girl with tears on her face in disgust. He then spat at her and said, "I'll do something for you, big man. You go and throw her in. "

The half-blind man didn't want to argue, and the lame man didn't look like he was cheating, so he said, "That's okay."

As he spoke, he walked towards the girl and just stretched out his hand to touch the girl's clothes.

The half-blind man's ears moved, as if he felt a faint sound of wind, but before he could hear anything...

"what!"

The half-blind man screamed in pain and felt as if something was stuck behind the joint of his left leg. His body was unbalanced and he fell to the ground, landing on his side, with blood all over his face.

He stood up using his good leg to support his body. The half-blind man bent slightly and touched the back of his leg. With a hiss, he pulled out a needle. The two looked at each other and realized that someone had indeed touched them.

The half-blind man and the lame man immediately took out their weapons, stood back to back, and looked around warily.

The surroundings were so quiet that even the sobbing girl was stunned. She was frozen in place for a while and did not dare to move.

"Who!" The two shouted loudly.

No one answered.

There was a slight sound of breaking through the air again, and a tiny needle came out from nowhere and stabbed the two of them quickly.

The two lame men couldn't dodge quickly at all - a short lame man and a taller half-blind man who had just been crippled.

What's more, it was almost sunset, the light was dim, and the needle was extremely small, so the two of them couldn't see where the needle came from.

The two had no choice but to wield their weapons and chop at random, as if they wanted to scare away the intruders.

The half-blind cripple thought of something: "If you dare to make trouble here, don't you worry that our master will know about it!"

As soon as the words fell, the two of them fell to the ground together, grinning in pain.

Heavy footsteps sounded. Just as the half-blind man wanted to look up, he was stepped down again.

"Oh? What will happen if your master finds out?" Jiu Tang deliberately lowered his voice, making it sound like a male and female voice. If he insisted on speaking, he sounded like a young boy in his teens.

The lame man's legs were both injured by needles. One of his legs was hard to use, and now he was lying on the ground unable to move.

"Hero!" When the girl who was tied to the ground saw someone coming, her eyes lit up and she shouted in surprise, "Great! We are saved!"

Upon hearing this, those who were still conscious in the crowd immediately raised their heads, their eyes filled with joy. Jiu Tang glanced at the crowd of people who were looking up. Unexpectedly, there was a familiar face here.

Why is Ersu, the prince of Eryuan Kingdom, here?

There was a girl next to her who she seemed to have met at the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet, but she couldn't remember her name.

Although the half-blind man had his head stepped on by Jiu Tang, he still said stubbornly: "Boy, if our master finds out, you will be dead! Now, if the elders don't pursue you..."

Jiu Tang laughed out loud, but he didn't expect this person to be so good at pretending at this time: "It's interesting, are you threatening me?"

Although the half-blind man is embarrassed, he is full of momentum: "Only a Jindan level, our master is a master of the Nascent Soul stage! You'd better be wiser. When the time comes, I will intercede for you, and I can also ask the master to leave you a whole corpse!"

Jiu Tang was unmoved and said calmly: "I don't know whether I have the whole body, but I know very well whether you do."

The lame man tried for a long time, but his legs still couldn't move. He gritted his teeth, took out a pill and quickly stuffed it into his mouth.

After taking the elixir, the lame man quickly stood up, clasped his hands together to condense a ball of spiritual energy, and rushed towards Jiutang: "Hahaha, suffer death! Ignorant kid, today I will use your bones to make a sacrifice. !”

Jiu Tang's eyes were indifferent and he didn't move. The group of people on the side thought that Jiu Tang was scared out of his wits, and couldn't help sighing - they thought there was hope for survival, but they didn't expect...

But yes, this boy is not as old as them. He can be regarded as a genius if he can have such cultivation at such a young age. It's just a pity that if you try to be a hero, you will die here.

"The thing I hate the most is calling myself uncle in front of him." A swishing voice sounded with strong dissatisfaction.

So just when the lame man reached Jiutang, he was shocked to the core.

No one even saw what it was, and a bloody hole appeared in the lame man's chest. The spiritual energy in the cripple's hand dissipated and stagnated for a moment, and then his body quickly shriveled up.

He fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"That's rude." Jiu Tang curled his lips and smiled, licking the corners of his mouth, his voice soft and a little angry, "I haven't retrieved his memory yet. But fortunately, there is another one here."

As he spoke, the force on his feet became a little stronger. Feeling that the person under his feet was shaking, Jiu Tang sighed, let go of his feet, and bent down.

"Young hero! I was wrong! I...I was just joking with you! The villain was blind and bumped into you...you..."

Jiu Tang chuckled softly, and slowly reached the top of the half-blind man's head with one hand: "Since you wanted to leave the whole body for me so much just now, I will leave one for you too. Be patient, it will be fine soon. ."

The half-blind man knew he couldn't escape, so he took out a small ball thinking he was hidden and poured a little spiritual energy into it. Jiu Tang saw it and didn't stop it - it was just right and it saved her the trouble of looking for it.

"Ah——!" The half-blind man's body suddenly twitched, and his blind eye also opened. The darkness of the eye became smaller, and his eyesight began to blur. After a while, he fell to the ground. The moment he fell to the ground, a bloody hole appeared on his chest.

"This..." The onlookers were stunned.

After retrieving the man's memory, Jiutang frowned. The master of these two people was a wealthy businessman from Qu State. A month ago, they were suddenly asked to come here and start refining corpses as sacrifices...

"It's really useless." Jiu Tang was a little dissatisfied. It doesn't matter that he is ugly, this person's mind is still blank.

"You go." Jiutang dealt with the two people and looked at the crowd, "If you don't leave, you won't be able to leave."

"Thank you...Thank you young hero!" The girl who thought she was going to die suddenly burst into tears. In the past few days, since she came here, she has suffered tremendous mental torture.

Her companion who was fine a moment ago turned into bones after entering the cauldron... She originally thought that she would die here without anyone noticing today.

Jiu Tang took two steps forward and cut away the rope that bound the group.

This rope suppressed their cultivation, and their bodies became like ordinary people. Without water or food for several days, everyone's face turned abnormally white, and several of them fainted from hunger.

Jiu Tang sighed. Looking at this group of people, they might be picked up by monsters when they leave the house. Throwing a bottle of elixir to the young man in the crowd who seemed to be in a slightly better condition: "One pill for each person, take it and then leave."

"Still want to leave?" Suddenly, an angry voice came from behind, "No one can leave today!"
