The earth shatters, the sky collapses

e that a few times already.Lin Yanqin, when he heard his suggestion to pretend to be a village girl, chuckled. Perhaps he found Lin Yanqin not stupid at all and had anticipated his thoughts in advance...“Girl, all members of the Fàn Wú clan, to varying degrees, possess spiritual abilities. The purer the bloodline and the closer it is to the divine shaman's orthodoxy, the greater their power. I escaped from the religious sect, generation after generation marrying ordinary people, until now, there probably isn't much left... This is why the Shaman clan doesn't marry outsiders.” The old woman whispered hoarsely.

I was taken aback. What's the point of telling me this now

“We didn't expect the one waiting for the Xi Nü Gu to be you. Ever since word got out that a deity had leaked celestial secrets and inscribed the name of the future princess on the cliff face, your mother snuck back to have a look. She figured you wouldn't have an easy life, so she started preparing this formation here—”

"I don't quite understand, what is the purpose of setting up this formation here And why are you hiding me here" I couldn't help but interrupt her.

When the earth shatters and the heavens tilt, one must always protect the Feicugu! The whereabouts of the Great Wilderness where the Ten Witches of Ling Shan reside, perhaps only the King of Wan Gu can sense...

"Only female gu exist, there are no male gu. How could you possibly cultivate a Gu King You might as well bring Mu Wanchen here and keep her hidden too!" I gave her a withering look.

"You foolish girl, pregnancy transforms into the beginning of all things. How can the importance of a male gu be compared to a female gu Moreover, when a female gu is pregnant, it's the day a male gu dies! Don't you understand any of this How did you even raise a female gu!" The old woman glared at me angrily.

It's really baffling, how else am I supposed to take care of it

"That's it, eat when you should, sleep when you should, don't eat chocolate, and eat more sweet things to appease the female Gu. What else is there to do" I whispered softly.

The old woman's narrowed eyes widened: "You won't take the medicine"

"What medicine I've never had it." I shook my head.

Didn't the Great Shaman give you medicine to raise female gu worms

"Never!" I answered with certainty.

The old woman looked at me in astonishment: “Are you just going to let the female gu grow”

I waved my hand impatiently: "Why are you asking these questions now How can a traitor be so concerned about the queen and king cobra You're being phony."

The old woman snorted coldly: “Traitor If I hadn't escaped the sect during the chaotic times and found a stand-in to die for me, would you even exist today! Traitor Who in Wuzhishan City dares call me a traitor”

That statement left me speechless.

Suddenly, a tile on my roof made a loud "crack" sound, which nearly made me scream.

Looking up, the sky was overcast. The gray mist gathered and drifted towards the river.

I thought I had escaped for now, but then I saw a dark shadow sliding across the roof!

Both the old woman and I jumped back in fright—the thing had landed silently above the doorway of the old house!

I hid behind the pillar and mouthed, "Old hag, didn't you brag that there were lots of formations here! What is that thing! It's coming in—"

A robe that seemed to melt into the darkness swayed in the wind, but not a single sound was made. The black figure moved with every gesture, silent as if watching a slow-motion replay of a silent film.

The tip of the shadow flickered above the old house door, it was unclear whether it was standing on top or floating there. He also glanced back at the yard!

I can't help but want to run away, this shadow behind me carries a hazy aura. That aura is gloomy and cold, unlike anything human.

The old woman had been quite arrogant in front of me, but now she was staring at the shadow with wide eyes. Suddenly, she slid down the pillar, landing on her knees and pinching a seal similar to an invocation, muttering: “Eighteen-eight God… Eighteen-eight God…”

Erba Shen I've never heard of it. What kind of god is that

The shadow seemed to sense her gestures and voice, suddenly turning around and looking down at the courtyard from above.

The courtyard was pitch black, the moonlight obscured by the dark haze in the sky.

The "god" in the black robe wore a cloak, making it impossible to see his face.

But he seemed to see the courtyard hidden beneath this heavy array of magic, and suddenly flew towards it.

The tiles on my head rattled and clattered, shaking like chattering teeth in a fight.

As the sound reverberated, as if tiles were about to "jump" off, I grabbed an old woman lying on the ground by the head and prepared to run to the backyard.

As soon as I took a step, my ears were met with an abrupt silence—the clattering of tiles ceased.

I slowly turned my head, and saw that shadow standing silently in the center of the yard.

His chilling aura, evident everywhere, clearly revealed his identity.

This isn't some god, this is a ghost!

“You, you don't need to kneel! This is a ghost! Don't you know magic Hurry up and subdue it!” I was so anxious I was about to cry, but the old woman’s bravado had vanished. She looked trembling and couldn’t even stand straight.

Well done!

So it turns out your only skill is bragging!

The old woman suddenly reached out and grabbed my wrist, her cloudy eyes staring at me. "You ignorant girl, kneel down quickly! This is the Twenty-Eight Divine!"

"What a load of crap! This guy is clearly possessed—"

Before I could finish my sentence, a strange force suddenly clamped down on my neck!

Heavens, this ghost is going to get me!

My neck was being "nipped" neither lightly nor heavily, and my eyes darted to the center of the yard.

The shadow only raised a hand slightly, grasping my neck with a "gentle" pressure. Just one more ounce of force and I wouldn't be able to breathe.

"Little girl…" the shadow spoke slowly.

If not for this situation, I would be very happy to listen to him speak—his voice, low and resonant like the thickest string on an ancient qin.

Elegant and mellow.

Yet, he was brimming with malice.

"Well hidden... If it weren't for that old woman recognizing my identity and calling the spirit, I wouldn't have found you."

I was speechless, completely at a loss for words—unable to even utter a sound. The grip on my neck showed no signs of loosening.

The old woman kowtowed like pounding garlic, her hoarse voice muttering: "I don't know which of the Eight Immortals you are, or what your title is Why do you have to take my innocent granddaughter who doesn't understand the world..."

"My name is Youguang. I am here by order of the Heavenly Emperor to capture this young girl. Old woman, since you know my identity, do not recklessly interfere and delay my mission."

My lord Emperor

"Master, Grandmaster" I struggled. If it was the Grandmaster who sent "someone," then whether or not the other party was human didn't matter anymore.

It's amazing to have such talent.

The tension in my neck loosened, and I immediately ran towards the yard. Could this be a savior Could it take me away from here

Before I could ask, the old woman said stubbornly, "Divine One! The Toxic Female Gu is vital to our clan, it cannot be lost! This is a time of upheaval, she should be kept away from danger!"

"The so-called 'god' named Youguang let out a cold snort, his voice deep and heavy, "So what if the heavens and earth are overturned What does it have to do with me I am merely carrying out orders. Could it be that you wish to keep them"ren't ordinary either." He slowly turned his head.I walked up behind him and found that he had gradually categorized and placed the items in the basement.The old man chuckled twice and said, “Mortals...
