Yet, Zhao Yi didn't have any; he's just an outsider, and possibly because of his forceful intervention this time, the Great Emperor transferred all his pent-up anger from the Li Family onto him.

The black ghost fire flickered, finally gathering into a ball, and the ashes of the Yellow Paper rolled up without wind, landing on the ground, forming a line of words:

[Jiujiang Zhao Clan awaits conferring]

Yin Meng blinked; Brother Xiao Yuan was unconscious, Binbin had fallen asleep, and Mr. Zhao was stunned.

She now found it difficult to understand or be certain about the ancestral message.

Yin Meng: "Ah You, come over and take a look, what does this specifically mean?"

Lin Shuyou turned and took a glance, sinking into contemplation.

Yin Meng: "What's the ancestor's message?"

Lin Shuyou: "We're just two average Joes, so still average."

Yin Meng: "Ask the child."

Lin Shuyou: "Oh, right, we can get three now."

Ah You immediately called the child in his heart, because Brother Xiao Yuan was unconscious, so the child didn't hesitate to directly open his Shuping.

The child: "That Great Emperor who oversees the Underworld, whoever he confers titles on, means they're to die in the underworld; clan-wide conferring means the whole clan is sent to die."

Fallen on the ground, Zhao Yi's face turned pale.

It's not that he was cowardly, but other matters and other opponents all had some room for maneuver, even if the clan elder had once lost his mind and hinted at marriage with Elder Mrs. Liu, Zhao Yi could still struggle for a chance before Uncle Qin, using every possible effort.

But such a being as the Great Emperor is on a different level.

The child walked up to Zhao Yi, gently kicking him with his foot, saying, "There's a pending conferment, so there won't be any immediate issues."

Zhao Yi: "Temporarily..."

The child: "The Great Emperor always wanted our Brother Xiao Yuan... to return to Fengdu. If you can come with us to Fengdu in the future, perhaps this misunderstanding might be cleared, at least providing an opportunity for resolution, preventing the whole clan from heading to the underworld for official duties."

Zhao Yi slightly turned his head, looking at the child: "You're trying to rope me in, setting a trap for me."

After overcoming the shock, Zhao Yi's wisdom instantly regained the upper hand.

The child: "You can choose to go or not go, well, actually, you have no choice."

Zhao Yi: "That's right."

Zhao Yi got up from the ground, looked at Tan Wenbin sleeping there, his gaze slightly darkened.

Spending his days hunting geese only to have a goose peck his eye, this kid, he's truly wicked!

As he revisited the memories, Zhao Yi realized that when discussing the matter of sacrifices, Tan Wenbin had deliberately changed all references to Yin Meng to "Mengmeng," just to overlook the surname.

This was a pit dug long ago, waiting for him to jump in, a trap to bind him to go to Fengdu together later.

Lin Shuyou's eyes returned to normal, the Shuping dispersing, he looked at Zhao Yi and asked: "Still going?"

Run Sheng came back at this time, holding a dead centipede in his hand.

The ashen words left by the Great Emperor hadn't yet dispersed, and as Run Sheng passed by, he took a look, saying:

"Got on the boat."

Zhao Yi exhaled a sigh of relief, looked at the centipede in Run Sheng's hand, and asked: "Extracted from the Yu Family's body?"

Run Sheng: "Yes."

Zhao Yi: "Only one? One can control several people, which implies there might be..."

Run Sheng: "Three, I ate two, they taste good, very fragrant and crisp."

Zhao Yi: "..."

Run Sheng handed Zhao Yi the centipede in his hand: "Take a look, see if it's of any use."

Zhao Yi flipped it over with his hand, the centipede was already dead, and this embedded control method is actually much inferior to Gu Techniques, quite crude, lacking research value.

"Wait till the Li wakes up and tell him not to bring this thing back, just eat it."

"Alright."

Run Sheng lowered his head and took a bite of the centipede, his mouth making crunchy sounds.

Zhao Yi: "Everything packed up? Let's go."

Run Sheng pointed to the black pool: "What about the one in there, the white dog's belly still has a pearl."

Zhao Yi: "Though the restriction isn't running as smoothly as before, its effect remains, that pearl is targeted at that particular Evil, the Evil has been disposed of by the Li, so the pearl has no value anymore."

Run Sheng: "Oh, I see."

After packing their things, everyone headed in the direction they came from, then encountered Chen Jing.

Chen Jing found three bodies, one split in half, one charred, and one well-preserved, all were Yu Family members who died in the restriction upon entering.

On them, there was nothing good, not even the most capable Yu Qing had a weapon in hand, showing how much control and suppression the Yu Family's demon beasts had over the Yu Family.

However, Run Sheng still collected three centipedes, and this time he didn't devour them all at once but found an empty jar with Yin Meng, planning to keep them as a midnight snack.

With Chen Jing leading the way, the group had a smooth exit.

After leaving Shuilian Cave and continuing outwards, they reached the ground.

At this time, the sky was just beginning to lighten, and the mountain air was rather fresh.

Zhao Yi took a deep breath, finally recovering fully.

If this situation cannot be changed, might as well close your eyes and enjoy it.

Anyway, in the future, it's about going to Fengdu together with the Li, if they die, they'll all die together; there's nothing lost personally.

A pheasant flew across in front.

Liang Yan: "That pheasant, is Sun Yan controlling it?"

Liang Li: "Where's Sun Yan?"

Zhao Yi: "Probably smearing blood on himself."

Soon, Sun Yan came running hurriedly, his face and body covered in blood; his expression shifted from shock to disbelief to delight, and as he reached them, tears began to fall.

"Boss, it's so good, you're safe and out. I was really worried about you all, truly."
