Chapter 276.

At this time, it was already night, and the room was dim, with only the light of the oil lamp, flickering weakly in the room, like the only brightness in the dark night.

Although the room was spacious, there were only two people, Zhou An and Heiyu, making it seem a little cold.

Zhou An turned his head and looked at Black Jade, who was pulling his hand next to him, and fell into deep thought.

Although Black Jade was pulling Zhou An’s hand, her interest did not seem to be high, and she hung her head low, as if she was thinking about something.

This state was typically a condition of having something on one’s mind, and a clear-eyed person could see it at a glance.

After coming out from the psychic space, Black Jade had always been in this state, not quite in line with Black Jade’s usual temperament, and even diametrically opposite.

Previously, no matter what the situation was, or what kind of situation it was in, Black Jade had always had a heartless look, bringing too much joy to Zhou An.

After arriving in this world, Zhou An had also gradually gotten used to Black Jade’s existence, and even felt that with Black Jade accompanying him, this path of the Liver Emperor wasn’t that boring.

But at this moment, Black Jade had changed its previous state, becoming silent and even preoccupied.

This state, Zhou An was very worried.

Zhou An held Black Jade’s hand tightly and asked, “Something on your mind?”

Hearing Zhou An’s voice, Black Jade raised her head and slightly nodded her small head, “Ow.”

She raised her free hand and pointed at her forehead, “Here, it’s so sad.”

Sad?

Zhou An was slightly surprised.

This kind of emotion, it was impossible for it to appear on Black Jade, how could it feel sad?

Generally speaking, there was only happiness and joy on Black Jade, accompanied by the aggravation of being knocked on the head by Zhou An.

What was sadness, Zhou An had never felt it in Black Jade.

“After coming out of the Psychic Space, you were in this state, what happened in there, tell me about it.”

Zhou An touched Black Jade’s head and said, “We are family, what should be said, should be said.”

Black Jade lifted her head in confusion, then let go of Zhou An’s hand and encircled Zhou An’s waist, pressing her face against Zhou An’s chest.

Zhou An could feel that at this moment, Black Jade’s body was trembling slightly.

This state, compared to the previous silence, was even more severe.

In Zhou An’s eyes, a deep murderous aura was revealed, and a sense of coldness, spread across his body.

The air began to flow, over and over again, flushing the surroundings.

He felt that the Black Jade just now, seemed to be aggrieved.

Whoever aggravated the black jade, he would split whoever into pieces, and then turn them into flying ash.

“Entering the psychic space, before coming out …… I felt a particularly familiar aura.”

Black Jade rubbed his face against Zhou An’s chest and said, “It appeared very quickly, but disappeared very quickly as well, that aura, which made me feel familiar, also made me feel sad.”

“It’s like an acquaintance that I haven’t seen for a long time, appearing in front of me all of a sudden, but this acquaintance, again, quickly disappeared.”

“I haven’t slowed down yet.”

Zhou An listened to Black Jade’s narration and operated the air in his body.

The golden eight trigrams slowly floated from nothing to something in front of Zhou An’s eyes, spinning continuously.

Zhou An began to utilize the Eight Trigrams of Arithmetic to start projecting based on what happened in the psychic space this time.

A silk thread connected to the black jade, ready to spread in one direction.

But the spread only just went out, and then it turned to disappear in an instant, as if the silk thread had never appeared.

“Can’t calculate?”

Zhou An frowned slightly.

This situation represented that the cause and effect could not be counted, and it also indicated that the cause and effect of this matter was beyond the scope of the Bagua Arithmetic’s measurement.

“Let’s go to the Psychic Space once.”

Zhou An patted Black Jade’s back, “Let’s see what exactly is inside.”

Since the matter appeared in the Psychic Space, then Zhou An thought of making another trip back to the Psychic Space to see what was going on.

If there was something, then it would be resolved, not to mention the matter of the Black Jade, that had to be resolved.

Who knew that after Zhou An said this, Black Jade shook her head.

“It’s useless, that aura disappeared, I can feel it, it will never appear again.”

Zhou An gently stroked the top of Black Jade’s head, “Are you sure, it won’t appear again?”

Black Jade hmmm’d, “That was a kind of nebulous sensation, but that sensation told me that everything was right.”

Speaking of this, Black Jade’s mood became much better due to confiding in Zhou An, and her eyes had their previous color.

Zhou An pondered for a moment and nodded, “I’ll help you with it, as long as there’s no danger, it’s just a secret that can be discovered sooner or later.”

Since Black Jade had spoken to such an extent, and there were indeed no clues at the moment, Zhou An temporarily planned to shelve it.

Putting it aside did not mean giving up.

When the skills became stronger, or if there was a clue someday, Zhou An would want to see what it was that made Black Jade’s mood change for the worse.

If it was a bad one, then just cut it down and get it over with.

“Honestly, for the first time you’re talking so much, it’s very smart.”

Zhou An thought of another problem, narrowed his eyes, held Black Jade’s chin, and lifted Black Jade’s face up, “In the past, it was all about playing dumb, right?”

Black Jade was directly dumbfounded.

She was held by Zhou An’s chin like this, and that look changed once again, as if she had changed from a Border Herd to a Husky.

“I’m stupid, not smart at all.”

“Talking is very organized.”

Zhou An cheerfully said, “It seems that during this period of time, the Holy Spirit Demon Body has made you smarter and smarter, don’t play dumb.”

During this recent period of time, Zhou An also didn’t care that Black Jade was subjected to the Holy Spirit Demon Body’s screaming and crazy liver.

This also resulted in the Holy Spirit Demonic Body rising at the same time, Black Jade seemed to be becoming more and more like a person.

Black Jade tilted his head with stupid eyes, just not answering Zhou An’s question positively.

Zhou An helplessly said, “Alright, alright, if you like it, whatever.”

Whether Black Jade was smart or not, it didn’t matter to Zhou An.

In the beginning, because of the Guile Rally, the two had been linked together, and there was basically no possibility of division.

Even if the Trickster Rally wanted to split, they would have to be severely injured, and would even be in danger of dying completely.

Moreover, the two had been together for so long that Zhou An had long since gotten used to it.

Regardless of whether one was smart or stupid, as long as the person was Black Jade, there was no difference.

“Go on.” Zhou An hemmed and hawed, and then intended to continue with the Liver Holy Spirit Demon Body.

Black Jade immediately retracted his hand, covered his collar, and pretended to be shivering, “Don’t ah ……”

The corners of Zhou An’s mouth twitched, ignoring this playwright and flinging out the Holy Spirit Demonic Body’s light.

The next moment, Black Jade hummed softly.

Inside the room, the atmosphere was a bit off.

Time was gradually passing.

The Great Cleansing was still continuing, Emperor Xingwu seemed to be determined, wanting to eliminate all the assholes.

Those from the previous dynasty, died and hid, for a time, the situation became extremely serious.

For this matter, the Huaixi Capital’s Zhen Gui Si, also draw a large number of manpower, began to cooperate with the great cleaning.

In this regard, Zhou An would go to the Zhen Gui Division every day to understand the latest situation.

The time for the Hunting Guile and the Great Yue Kingdom to send troops is getting closer and closer, before that, the Great Cleansing must have an effect, and it is enough to see Emperor Xingwu’s determination.

The good thing is that apart from going to the Zhen Gui Division every day to hang around for a bit, the speed of Zhou An’s Liver Holy Spirit Demon Body has not slowed down.

Every day for an hour in the psychic space, after coming out, he went to the Zhen Gui Si to take a look, then went back to continue to liver.

The Holy Spirit Demonic Body’s proficiency was also gradually rising at a rate visible to the naked eye.

It was worth mentioning that after entering the psychic space again, indeed, what happened last time didn’t happen either, and the black jade once again regained its usual vigor.

In this regard, although Zhou An had nothing on the surface, he had already kept it in his heart.

He even went to the Zhen Gui Si to look through the information, and there was not the slightest clue.

However, Zhou An had already decided that in the future, if he had the opportunity, he would definitely dig out this thing that had turned Black Jade’s mood for the worse, completely.

Today, it was another uneventful day.

Zhou An came out of the psychic space, stretched and patted the black jade’s back, “Go out to eat.”

This was the daily routine, after eating, he would head to the Zhen Gui Si to see the progress of the Great Cleansing.

Black Jade’s agreed, and beautifully pulled Zhou An’s arm, and went out the door with Zhou An.

After the two of them went out, they went to the stalls outside and had a small meal before arriving at the Zhen Gui Division.

Within the Zhen Gui Division, the personnel was much less than before, most of the people, had traveled to cooperate with the Great Cleansing, leaving only a portion of the people, who were able to make the Zhen Gui Division function properly.

“Good day, Lord Zhou.”

The passing members of the Zhen Gui Division greeted respectfully.

Zhou An nodded, then went to his room.

As soon as he sat down, He Sheng came into the room with a folded book.

“Speak.” Zhou An waved his sleeve and poured himself a cup of tea, taking a light sip.

He Sheng opened the folded document and said seriously, “Today, two more jianghu forces have been discovered with traces of the former dynasty, and have been cooperating with the Yamen as well as the Supervision Department to cleanse these two jianghu forces.”

“Currently, the entire Huaixi Jing, including the counties that it belongs to, has been cleansed of a total of four hundred and thirty-eight former dynasty forces, and the results have been quite fruitful.”

Inside the room, He Sheng spoke slowly, trying his best to explain every detail, one by one.

This was a daily routine.

After finishing everything, He Sheng put the folders on the table.

Zhou An turned over the folders on the table, corresponding with He Sheng’s report, and only after making sure that there were no omissions did he nod his head and say, “Very well, if there are things that cannot be dealt with, let me know in the first instance.”

“Yes!”

He Sheng nodded in agreement.

The matter was almost finished, so Zhou An was ready to leave the Zhen Gui Si and go back to continue with the Liver Spirit Demon Body.

However, it did not occur to him that He Sheng did not have the intention to leave, and was still standing in place without moving.

Seeing this, Zhou An frowned and said, “There is something that cannot be dealt with?”

This was the first time he had seen this situation, so Zhou An guessed that He Sheng had encountered something that he could not handle and needed to step in himself.

He Sheng nodded and said, “My lord, it’s not a matter of a great purge, but as the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival has recently approached, I’m afraid that something will arise.”

Ancestor Sacrifice Festival?

Zhou An stroked his chin and searched for impressions in his mind, and quickly searched for something about the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival.

The so-called Ancestor Sacrifice Festival was somewhat similar to the Qingming Festival in his previous life, as the name suggested, it was about honoring one’s ancestors.

Zhou An frowned, “Ancestor Sacrifice Festival, what kind of incidents will arise?”

He Sheng said, “Whenever an ancestor is sacrificed, grievances are bound to grow, and weirdness is bound to arise, and things are bound to happen.”

Afterwards, He Sheng explained everything about the Ancestor Sacrifice.

After He Sheng explained everything clearly, Zhou An had already understood what had happened.

The so-called ancestor sacrifice would breed weirdness, but it was actually still related to grievances.

In this world, there were people who were doing well, then there were people who were not doing well.

Those who were doing well were fine, but those who were not doing well would have grievances in their hearts.

Ancestor worship should be a serious process, but once those who are not doing well go to worship their ancestors, there will be problems.

In itself, it is to pay homage to dead ancestors, and if one carries resentment in oneself, then it is easy for those ancestors to come to life.

This kind of coming alive was naturally not a person, but a dead person.

Zhou An thought for a moment and said, “This Huai Xi Jing has a large number of people, and the ancestral graves are extremely widely distributed, even if there is no great cleansing, I’m afraid that even if the entire Zhen Gui Si is mobilized, it won’t be able to cover all of them.”

In this world, there aren’t any cemeteries or anything like that, and the buried graves are distributed everywhere.

If it was really like He Sheng’s statement, then even if all the Zhen Gui Si divisions in Huai Xi Jing were to be mobilized, I’m afraid that they wouldn’t be able to solve this matter.

After all, even if there were more people in the line of work, there was no point where they could cover all of them.

He Sheng nodded his head and said, “Indeed, but we do have a way, there is a lineage amongst the miscellaneous sects called the Sacrifice Master.”

“The ability of a Sacrifice Master is to invite the residual power of their ancestors into their bodies through sacrifices, which is also their method of combat.”

“And aside from being used for combat, they also have an ability to take the residual power of those graves and unify and centralize it.”

“This is only for the graves, previously our plan was to divide a large number of areas and have the Sacrifice Masters centralize in that area, and we’ll deal with it together.”

The problem with the weirdness of the Ancestor Festival was that the graves were scattered.

And thanks to the ritualists, it was possible to centralize these graves that could turn out to be spooky and deal with them together, as well as solving the situation that was beyond the power of the town’s spooky division.

This was a very good method and an excellent solution.

Zhou An frowned, “In that case, then do as you say, why the hard look?”

He Sheng said awkwardly, “The largest sacrificial master power in Huaixi Jing is called the Sacrifice Sect, but recently, the Sacrifice Sect’s Sect Master said that their cultivation had accidentally gone into the wrong zone, causing the entire Sacrifice Sect to be incapable of dealing with the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival this time around.”

“Missteps?”

Zhou An laughed coldly, “Or the entire force has gone into the wrong zone, it’s a bit too coincidental, you directly state the reason, what exactly is the situation, don’t swallow your words.”

He could sort of see that this so-called Sacrificial Sect, should not want to cooperate with this operation, so they found a reason to excuse themselves.

He Sheng pondered for a moment, and after organizing his words, this is when he told the story.

“In fact, this matter, is also related to Lord Zhou ……”

“Related to me?”

Zhou An raised an eyebrow, “I don’t remember that I had a connection with the Sacrifice Sect.”

This power, he hadn’t even heard of it, how could it be related to him.

Those who had a grudge against him had long since gone to accompany his aunt, not a single living person could be seen, so how could Zhou An let a Sacrifice Sect live.

“Does Lord Zhou ever remember that not too long ago, you went to the Qin family and resolved Lord Yu’s matter?” He Sheng asked tentatively.

Zhou An stroked his chin, “Indeed, what, this Sacrificial Sect has collusion with the Qin Family?”

He Sheng nodded, “The Sacrifice Sect was originally in Lihuang Capital, but when it was in Lihuang Capital, it offended a major power, and was forced to relocate from Lihuang Capital to Huaixi Capital this time, and the Qin Family gave a great deal of help during the relocation process.”

“After the Qin Family’s accident, we also took advantage of this great purge and investigated the Sacrificial Sect, but there were no major problems.”

“My subordinate guessed whether the Sacrifice Sect had a grudge because of Lord Zhou’s extermination of the Qin Family.”

“But this is only a guess after all, the Sacrifice Sect does not recognize it, and we have no way to start, and now that the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival is approaching, I’m afraid that it’s just beyond our strength to look for the same forces again.”

The Ancestor Sacrifice Festival was already fast approaching, and even if we were to go to a similar capital-level city, it would be too late in time.

Zhou An pondered for a moment and said, “Where is the Sacrifice Gate?”

He Sheng took out a map, placed it on the table, and pointed to a location, “Right here, my lord, are you thinking of traveling to the Sacrifice Gate?”

“Just because you guys can’t find out doesn’t mean I can’t.”

Zhou An stood up, “If there is really a problem with the cultivation, then it’s fine, we’ll think of other ways, but if it’s specifically to disgust me with the lives of the people, then this Sacrificial Gate, there is no need for it to exist.”

“You and remember, when I go to the Sacrifice Gate, I have to be responsible for not letting Huaixi Jing be in chaos.”

He was a person who never provoked anyone.

But if someone came to provoke him, then they should be prepared to die.

In this world, no one liked to keep their enemies and let them develop in silence.

If there was truly a problem, then one would just slaughter it.

He Sheng respectfully said, “Yes, my lord, do we need my subordinates to dispatch members to accompany us on this trip?”

Zhou An shook his head, “No need.”

After saying that, he took Black Jade’s hand and had already left the gate of the Zhen Gui Si.

After arriving at the cold and clear streets outside, Zhou An operated the air in his body and performed the Flying Dragon Body Technique, rushing up into the sky, and in an instant, he had already disappeared into the sky.

The location of the Sacrificial Gate was located on a high mountain in the northern part of Huai Xi Jing.

This mountain, named Qingdu Mountain, although it was not a famous mountain, the scenery here was unique.

The place of birds and flowers, the place of abundant forests and grasses, a piece of natural beauty, set off this mountain with infinite beauty.

Magnificent tall building complex, is located on top of the mountain peaks, and the surrounding beautiful scenery into one, looks particularly harmonious.

At the entrance, there was a huge plaque with the word “Sacrifice Gate”.

If one got closer, one would feel that the interior of this complex was not as beautiful as Qingdu Mountain.

Inside the gate, there was a wide and boundless courtyard, and in the courtyard, there was a single spirit seat, standing on both sides.

Densely packed, as if a paradise for the dead, it made one’s scalp numb.

The Sacrifice Sect Master, whose surname was Lu, was currently sitting in the largest room, drinking tea with a leisurely look.

Behind Sect Master Lu, was a maid wearing a light veil, hammering his shoulders.

And below, a Sacrificial Sect Elder, was reporting the news.

“Sect Master, if we do this, are we really not afraid that Zhou An will personally come?” The Sacrificial Sect Elder was slightly worried.

This power of theirs was only a first-class power, and even Sect Master Lu was only at the Tongling realm.

To be honest, if it wasn’t for their unique role, perhaps the Huaixi Capital’s Zhen Gui Division wouldn’t even look at them.

But recently, the Sect Master had given an order to push the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival aside for an extremely odd reason.

In the past, the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival was all about the Sacrifice Sect, and the relationship with the Zhen Gui Si was still fine.

But this time, the sect master’s order had already caused quite a few disciples to carry fear in their hearts.

Offending the Zhen Gui Si was just a matter of concern, but now, there was still a Zhou An in Huai Xi Jing.

They all knew that Zhou An had annihilated the Qin Family, and had already imagined Zhou An as a terminally ferocious man.

Even the Sacrificial Sect Elder couldn’t figure out what kind of reason would make Sect Master Lu dare to do such a thing.

The experts of the Tongling Realm, those who had been cultivating for an extremely long time, it could be said that without a little bit of brains, it would be impossible to reach this realm.

Behavior like this seeking death, if it happened to a minor character, it was fine, but if it happened to a Passing Spirit realm expert, it was something that was never possible.

The Sacrificial Sect Elder’s hair was turning white with worry these past few days, and he was even thinking about whether or not he should simply run away.

Otherwise, when Zhou An came and killed him, he was afraid that there would be no way to live.

Hearing what the Sacrificial Sect Elder said, Lu Sect Master put down the tea cup in his hand and waved his hand at the maid behind him.

The maid immediately excused herself and quickly left.

Soon, only the Sacrificial Sect Elder and Sect Master Lu were left here.

“When have I ever done such damaging things?”

Sect Master Lu slowly said, “Now the world has rumored that my Sacrifice Sect deliberately went against Zhou An because of the Qin Family, but the Qin Family is the most deserving.”

“No matter how strong the Sacrifice Sect is, it is still a power of the Great Chu Kingdom, who would dare to go against the Great Chu Kingdom, let alone Zhou An, who is now in the midst of his fierce reputation?”

The Sacrifice Sect Elder froze slightly, “Then why …… would you still intentionally not go to the ancestor sacrifice?”

He was completely baffled by these few words of the Sect Master.

He was truly confused as to why the Sect Master could see everything clearly, yet still did so.

The Sacrificial Sect Elder wanted to open his mouth, but he saw Sect Master Lu wave his hand.

“Go down, I have my own way.” Sect Master Lu was disinterested.

The Sacrifice Sect Elder sighed as he heard this, and then left the room.

Even before leaving, the Sacrificial Sect Elder was still worried.

When the Sacrificial Sect Elder left, only Sect Master Lu was left here.

Not long after, a figure flashed by, and a voluptuous woman in a black robe stood in front of Sect Master Lu.

“Zhou An is coming soon?” The voluptuous woman frowned.

Sect Master Lu respectfully said, “Yes, County Lord Fu Ling.”

The corners of the mouth of the voluptuous woman named County Lord Fu Ling rose, “Very well, just wait until the top and bottom of the Sacrificial Sect, are decimated by Zhou An, then no one will be able to deal with the Ancestor Sacrifice Festival, and a lot of people will die, and this is a lesson for Zhou An.”

“Yes!” Sect Master Lu bowed his head and said.

Not long ago, this County Lord of the former dynasty had suddenly approached him and had asked him to submit to the former dynasty, and even stayed at this Sacrifice Gate.

And County Lord Fuling’s plan was actually very simple, that was to use the Sacrificial Sect to offend Zhou An, and then have Zhou An kill the entire Sacrificial Sect, so that the Ancestral Festival could not be preserved, and a large number of people died.

And the purpose of the plan was just to get back at Zhou An for going against the Sacrifice Sect.

Sect Master Lu agreed, because this County Lord of the former dynasty was simply too powerful.

“I hope that you, County Lord, can take me away.” Sect Master Lu continued.

County Lord Fu Ling nodded her head and said, “Don’t worry, you only need to provoke Zhou An after he arrives, at that time, I will naturally take you away.”

“After all, what we are going to do, is to restore the former dynasty, your Sacrifice Master, who is also talented, will leave you roots.”

“And don’t you ask, what exactly is the method I have to take you away.”

Sect Master Lu respectfully said, “Yes!”

“Go prepare.” County Lord Fu Ling waved her hand and said impatiently.

The way she looked at Sect Master Lu carried a hint of contempt, but Sect Master Lu did not notice.

Take him away?

This was something that was simply impossible, unless she was sick in the head.

This time, she was such a simple purpose.

At first, the former dynasty had never offended Zhou An because in their opinion, Zhou An was a talented person.

And when they seized the Great Chu Kingdom and regained the power of the former dynasty, for Zhou An, they were bound to be extremely reused as well.

However, they never expected that Zhou An would erase the Qin family, which they had worked so hard to set up, and they didn’t know how much painstaking work they had gone through.

Subsequently, they dispatched the Bamboo Swordsman, wanting to give Zhou An a wake-up call, using this to knock Zhou An around.

However, they still miscalculated.

Zhou An was very decisive, and directly killed the Bamboo Swordsman, without the slightest bit of procrastination.

This one approach had completely enraged them.

And the arrival of County Lord Fu Ling was to use the people of Huai Xi Jing to give Zhou An a profound lesson.

As long as the Sacrificial Gate was destroyed by Zhou An’s own hands, then the people of Huaixi Capital would surely die in large numbers, and Zhou An, on the contrary, would be the main culprit in this matter.

At that time, I’m afraid that the Emperor would not be able to handle it.

As for the lives of the people, in the eyes of County Head Fu Ling, it was nothing more than that.

The previous dynasty had not valued these ordinary people, let alone now.

“Emperor Xingwu values the people, and the massive deaths of the people are because of Zhou An, Zhou An, I’ll see how you, this time, can get by.”

County Lord Fu Ling sneered in her heart.

“And this Lu Sect Master, still really think I will take you away?”

“Wouldn’t it be nice to wait until I see Zhou An kill all the people from the Sacrifice Sect and leave alone?”

Thinking of this, County Lord Fuling’s heart was slightly free, as if she had already thought of what would happen to Zhou An.

And while she was thinking this, at that moment, a loud wind sound had surfaced from outside.

Accompanying the sound of the wind, there was also the sound of a cry of alarm, carrying the flavor of fear.

“Coming?”

County Lord Fu Ling could feel a powerful aura that was spreading through the sacrificial gate.

She stretched out her hand and made a point into the void, and in an instant, a smooth mirror, surfaced in mid-air.

Daoist Sect Spell – Manifestation Mirror.

Countess Fu Ling was a person from the Dao Sect, and was a pivotal figure in the Dao Sect of the previous dynasty.

The Shadow Mirror was just a small spell that allowed one to observe the situation outside, and for Sheriff Fu Ling, waving her hand could do it.

At this moment, in the courtyard where a large number of spirit seats stood, Zhou An, holding Black Jade, had already arrived at the front courtyard, while the elders of the Sacrificial Sect, were coyly smiling in small voices.

Through this mirror, after Sheriff Fu Ling saw Zhou An’s appearance, her brows turned cold and a hint of killing intent was revealed in her eyes.

“Arrogant enough, today is just an appetizer, there’s more behind, enough for you to drink a pot.”

With this thought in mind, County Head Fu Ling quietly waited for Sect Master Lu to appear.

Through the Manifestation Mirror, County Lord Fu Ling waited for half a pillar of incense before she finally waited for Sect Master Lu’s figure.

“Coming.”

County Lord Fu Ling sneered.

“Let me see if Zhou An can overthrow the Sacrificial Sect, just provoke him to the limit.”

In the Manifestation Mirror, after Sect Master Lu appeared, he immediately looked around with a calm demeanor.

County Lord Fu Ling had thought that Sect Master Lu would find a way to make Zhou An angry.

However, the next scene made County Lord Fu Ling dumbfounded.

Only to see Sect Master Lu fall to his knees in a very silky smooth manner, and then kowtow at Zhou An.

This action was incomparably familiar, as if it had been rehearsed countless times in his mind, so skillful that it was heartbreaking.

After kowtowing, Sect Master Lu said loudly, “Lord Zhou, there is a former county princess inside, it’s all because she forced me to, she put the Dao Gate Curse on me, I’ve already stabilized her, so please Lord Zhou, cut her down and save me in the meantime.”

County Lord Fu Ling froze, her entire body seemed to be frozen.

This was completely different from what she thought, ah!

Why was this situation occurring?

This Lu Sect Master, however, had been placed under the most vicious curse of the Dao Sect, and would instantly turn into pus and blood just by casting a Dao spell from her side.

How did he dare?

Thinking about this, Countess Fu Ling’s face became even colder, and she was ready to cast a Dao spell to make Sect Master Lu completely die.

But at that moment, Zhou An waved his sleeve, and the light of the Holy Spirit Demon Body enveloped Sect Master Lu.

Curse?

It was just a negative status, it was nothing.

The Holy Spirit Demonic Body was even able to cure Black Jade’s problem, not to mention that it had now reached the eighth level and would soon see a qualitative change.

A curse of this level was merely a matter of dispelling it.

After the Holy Spirit Demonic Body’s light fell, County Lord Fu Ling felt as if her curse had instantly lost its effect.

As for Sect Master Lu at this moment, he let out a long breath, the tension on his face completely disappearing.

This was a bet, a bet on whether Zhou An could undo the curse.

Just like the Sacrificial Sect Elder said, if the Lu Sect Master could cultivate to the Psychic Realm, then he was not a fool and would not go against Zhou An.

If this time, Zhou An could undo the curse, he himself could live, and so could the Sacrifice Sect.

If he could not undo it, although he himself could not live, the rest of the Sacrificial Sect could live.

As for the bullshit that County Lord Fu Ling had said, he rightly ignored it.

Even if they did take him away, everything he had worked so hard for would go down the drain.

The Sacrificial Sect was his heart and soul, something he had taken over from his own old ancestor, and it was more important than his life.

If the Sacrificial Sect was gone, it would be better to die.

Thus, this wave, Sect Master Lu felt that he had made the right bet.

“Stupid thing, these days, isn’t it better to follow the Great Chu Kingdom than your former dynasty?”

“What’s more, you want to run after offending Zhou An? Isn’t that just asking for trouble for yourself?”

Sect Master Lu thought darkly in his heart.

All in all, it was Shabi who followed the former dynasty.

Sect Master Lu thought to himself that he was not a Shabi.

Outside, Zhou An looked at the prostrate Lu Sect Master and revealed a smile.

He carried his black long knife, his hand naturally dropping down, allowing the long knife to slice through the ground, making a long knife mark.

Then, Zhou An’s long knife, pointed directly at the house in front of him and sneered.

“County Lord? I’ve never killed a royal relative before, so I wonder if the blood is different from others when it’s spilled.”
