Morton sneered, but Du Gourou felt a chill throughout her body, and angrily retorted: "You’re lying, my Uncle Sheng is not..."

"Ah Rou," Dugu Mingyue spoke, "It’s true."

Du Gourou was stunned.

"Before coming here, grandmother mentioned that uncle was a bit odd. I was suspicious at first. When I learned he actively took you beyond the borders to the Western Regions, I hurriedly caught up with you... Because there was no one more skilled at home who could make it in time, and I’m not his match, I had to pretend to know nothing and accompany you... Afterwards, I discovered Uncle Sheng indeed had many peculiarities. At that time, atop the snow peak, the Thornbird was actually called by Uncle Sheng, which I think Teacher also noticed."

Dugu Mingyue glanced at Sui Yi, and Sui Yi nodded.

Not only her, Wu Xie also noticed, so he mentioned there was another Thornbird, but he wasn’t referring to the actual bird; he meant Dugu Sheng.

No one expected Dugu Mingyue noticed it too. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Du Gourou remained silent, sitting aside holding her pants.

As for Dugu Sheng, he stood there vacantly, uncertain if he understood, yet his mouth suddenly moved.

"It appears there are indeed some figures in the Central Plains... Young lady, your grandmother is You Chuhong, isn’t she?"

The words from Dugu Sheng left everyone astounded, but even more bizarrely, those who were under Soul Capture started speaking, repeating the same sentence, albeit in different tones layered together, creating a eerie scene.

Sui Yi looked at Dugu Sheng, who was also looking at him.

In Dugu Sheng’s pupils, Sui Yi saw a face - a gruesome, deathly pale face, or rather, a skull.

Dugu Mingyue glared at the skull, "You... the Lord of Snow God Mountain?"

"Heh~ it’s me."

"A bunch of worthless beings let me realize the Central Plains people aren’t entirely useless, that’s also some gain... not to mention~ Sui Yi..."

Dugu Sheng stared at Sui Yi, the skull grinned: "Who would have thought you’d be stronger than that wizard from many years ago, naturally, your bloodline is much purer. This is an extremely wonderful thing~~"

"I’m waiting for you on the mountain..."

"Hope you come up soon~~"

"Otherwise, your friend might not last very long."

The skull vanished.

Leaving behind only one sentence.

"As for these puppets, lest your excessive kindness troubles you, I’ll destroy them for you."

Dugu Sheng’s body suddenly began to rot from the inside out.

An overwhelming stench spread, and Du Gourou and Dugu Mingyue’s pupils turned red.

In the end, the one committing evil wasn’t Dugu Sheng, but Snow God Mountain, their own uncle!

Each Soul Capturer rotted into a skeleton on the ground.

It happened in the blink of an eye, nearly everyone was trapped in the terrifying secret technique of the other party.

As if their lives were still in his palm.

Morton’s low laughter reflected his pride and disdain, while people from the Morton Tribe were already prostrating toward Snow God Mountain.

That was a surrender and fear for which there was no remedy.

Sui Yi, with a calm expression, held the emerald green jade in his palm, looking at Morton.

Morton lifted his eyes, snorted lightly: "Looking at me is useless, since he doesn’t kill me now, it shows he knows I wouldn’t dare to leak the slightest top secret, moreover, the true secrets... how could he ever let others know."

"After all, I am nothing but a dog on that mountain."

"And this dog won’t grovel before you for survival."

Morton’s body wriggled briefly, then suddenly leapt up. When Shi Feixuan’s Colorless Sword hummed and was unsheathed, he glanced sideways at Shi Feixuan, "Your face-changing technique comes from Bi Xiuxin, right? Speaking of her, she was indeed an extraordinary person. If it weren’t for Shi Zhixuan’s meddling back then, she would have been subdued by the Divine Lord long ago... what a shame."

What?

Back then, because of Shi Zhixuan... Shi Feixuan was shocked, and so were the others, but Morton didn’t say more. Instead, he slowly swept his gaze over these people from the Morton Tribe, his expression wild and contemptuous, finally looking up at the sky, "The heavens of the Western Regions are the most beautiful place on earth. If I cannot be a heroic outlaw in life, may I at least be a ghast hero in death."

"Sui Yi, I’ll be waiting for you beneath Hell."

After speaking, boom!

The explosion from his dantian nearly swept Shi Feixuan into it; Sui Yi pulled her over and then turned his head to see Morton’s remains already vanished.

All those of the Morton Tribe were moaning.

In fact, only a few could grasp their sadness.

Sui Yi seemed to understand something, eventually could only sigh softly.

Dealing with the Morton Tribe was perhaps the most helpless thing.

Of course, they couldn’t be killed because there were too many of them, old and young, numbering in thousands, only the small leaders like Karisuo were executed.

The other party seemed accustomed to death; for such deaths, they only grieved but held no hatred.

They were already numb.

Quite a few women proactively delivered herbs to them, regardless of whether Dugu Mingyue and the others accepted them or not, simply piling them outside the large tent.

There were many wounded, and not using herbs wasn’t possible. Once confirmed non-toxic, Sui Yi used them.

Sui Yi’s medical treatment took an unconventional route, Magnetic Sensation applied, basically healed half of it, combined with herbal adjustment, even those on the verge of death were brought back.

Only some remained in a deep slumber.

Such as Qin Shubao and Cheng Yaojin, as well as several of Shang Xiuxun’s assistants, and also...

"It’s poison."

"During the recent battles, those Thornbirds and Zhi’s tendrils carried venom, it was the first time I’ve seen it."

The poison seemed also passed down from Snow God Mountain.

This poison and such, they indeed had a plethora of them; Sui Yi himself still carried Ghost Subdue Poison? (To be continued.
