"What are you blanking out for?"

The man at her side pulled her aside with one hand and held her in his embrace.

At the same time, dozens of men in black holding swords jumped out from the shrine.

Xiao Yi and Xiao Er who were guarding outside led the other Dark Guard s and rushed into the hall.

In an instant, the silent and dignified shrine began to move.

Qu Ling regained his senses and subconsciously raised his head to look.

When she saw the corpses hanging on the beams of the hall, her face suddenly paled.

Seven or eight corpses dressed in Miao Xiu's clothes were quietly hanging there. The only thing that remained was the corpse that she had been kneeling on. Blood constantly dripped from the corpses, gradually dyeing the ash-gray ground red.

These people of the Miao Family were most likely the people who were guarding the Serpent God Hall.

When they came up, they didn't see anyone along the way. Presumably, it was because these assassins had come early to kill them and hung themselves on the beams of the main hall.

The "chik" sound just now should have been the sound of the assassin stabbing a hidden weapon into the flesh of the corpse.

It was unknown who was so mischievous as to pick the corpse on top of her head!

Qu Ling secretly cursed at the assassin, and frowned at the people who were fighting so fiercely that they couldn't leave.

Not a single one of them noticed that so many people were hiding in the shrine.

Obviously, these people had come prepared.

These assassins were much stronger than the group of people they met on the way to Miao Boundary. They were all ruthless and wanted to kill them.

On the other hand, Xiao Jingyue's side, including Xiao Yi and the Xiao Er, only had twelve Dark Guard s.

If this carried on, they would all be in trouble.

"Protect yourself well!"

Xiao Jingyue suddenly pushed Qu Ling towards Qu Ci's direction and jumped into the battle.

Qu Ling turned to look at Xiao Jingyue, grinded his teeth, and ran towards his grandma and the others.

"Ah Ling, stop!" Qu Ci suddenly shouted.

Qu Ling was stunned, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

In the next instant, a cold beam of sword light ruthlessly hacked down on her.

The sword light brushed past her, and she went a little further, afraid that she was already split in half.

Qu Ling was so scared that her face turned pale and she subconsciously wanted to retreat, but her legs suddenly went soft.

A powerful arm scooped her up before she could hit the ground.

The man kicked the assassin away and scolded him softly, "What are you running around for?"

Qu Ling held onto his arm to stabilize his body, he looked up in shock, and just as he was about to speak, two assassins raised their swords and pounced on Qu Ci and Ah Xin.

Her pupils suddenly contracted. "Grandma!"

Qu Ci wasn't as nervous as she was, as he calmly pulled Ah Xin two steps back.

When Xiao Yi, who was the closest to them, saw this, he immediately moved and forced the two assassins to retreat, protecting the two of them.

More and more assassins poured into the hall, and the number rose from twenty to thirty.

Seeing that, the Xiao Er shouted: "Let's go!"

These thirty or so black-clothed assassins seemed to be well-trained, and they didn't care about killing people. They seemed to be willing to sacrifice their lives to achieve their goal. It was extremely likely that they were a group of deathsworn.

With such a large sum of money, the people who sent them were clearly here to kill them.

Xiao Jingyue did not continue to fight, he hugged Qu Ling and fought his way out.

Xiao Yi protected Qu Ci and Ah Xin tightly as he followed Xiao Jingyue to retreat while they fought.

Blood splattered everywhere, and a battle was clearly taking place in front of the exalted deity.

Within the span of a few breaths, scarlet blood and broken limbs were scattered all over the place, turning the solemn and dignified shrine into a hell on earth.

Qu Ci looked at the mess in the hall, and his eyes suddenly turned red.

This was the shrine that they worshipped for generations, the faith that they inherited through generations!

How could the land of faith be tainted!

She suddenly stopped and threw Ah Xin to Xiao Yi, then stepped forward to stop Xiao Jingyue. Staring intently at him, she shouted sternly, "You can't leave until you've sworn your oath!"

"Grandma?" Qu Ling didn't understand why she was so stubborn. At a time like this, was an oath more important than one's life?

Xiao Jingyue frowned, he looked calmly at the stubborn old lady in front of him.

Behind them, the Xiao Er and the remaining surviving Dark Guard were defending the last line of defense with their lives, not allowing the Death Soldiers to get close to them.

Therefore, the young general didn't remain silent for too long and opened his mouth to speak.

The man's deep voice pierced the sound of swords colliding with each other, and clearly travelled into the ears of everyone else, "In my life, Xiao Jingyue doesn't believe in gods or buddhas, nor ghosts or people. I believe in people, and only the girl Qu Ling is the only one I want to believe in, and in this life, I'll only believe in her. Are you satisfied? "

Qu Ling suddenly raised his head, and looked at him as if he was a stranger.

This person, he must have gone mad …

After being stunned for a short moment, Qu Ci looked deeply at Xiao Jingyue, took out an envelope from his sleeves, and stuffed it into Qu Ling's embrace without explanation. At the same time, he took something out from his waist, rushed back into the divine hall, and shouted coldly without looking back: "Take Ah Ling and Ah Xin away!"

The few of them turned their heads in surprise and saw the stubborn old lady running towards the statue of Chi You. With her back facing the statue, she was holding her flute and blowing on it with her ears.

The sharp and ear-piercing sound of a flute pierced the horizon, and a strange aura came surging in from all directions.

The faces of all the Death Soldiers present changed. One of them shouted, "Quick, stop her!"

This was the bug controlling technique of the Five Holy Sects of the past!

The sound of the flute could be heard by all the Gu worms in a radius of several miles.

They didn't have anything to expel the insect from their bodies. If she really lured the insect Gu over to them, no one would be able to escape.

As Xiao Jingyue listened to the flute music, he suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart.

This was the sign that the Gu Worm was about to awaken!

His expression changed slightly, and he quickly pressed on some of the acupuncture points on his body, blocking all of the senses, and while the group of death warriors was surrounding Qu Ci, he picked up Qu Ling without saying a word, and rushed out of the hall with his lightness skill, and continuously left.

"Grandma!"

Ah Xin struggled to get back. Xiao Yi immediately pulled her and dragged her away.

A few Death Soldiers charged out from Dark Guard's encirclement and chased after them. Xiao Jingyue and Xiao Yi had no choice but to stop their fight with the Death Soldiers.

Qu Ling ran over to Ah Xin's side and lowered his voice: "Go back to the village and call for people, tell them something has happened in the divine hall."

"Elder sister, I'm not …"

Before Ah Xin could finish, Qu Ling suddenly pushed her and urged her: "Go!"

Facing Qu Ling's resolute gaze, Ah Xin gritted his teeth, and ran frantically back to the village.

After walking away for a little girl who didn't matter, the soldiers didn't pay any attention to her.

Xiao Jingyue said as he returned to Qu Ling's side and protected her tightly.

With Xiao Yi's departure, the four Death Soldiers immediately attacked Xiao Jingyue.

In a situation where he was completely unarmed and carried a powerless Qu Ling, no matter how strong Xiao Jingyue's martial arts were, it was impossible for him to fight against four people at once.

Not long after, Xiao Jingyue was at a disadvantage, his arm had a long cut.

"Xiao Jingyue!"

Qu Ling gasped, and anxiously said: "You should put me down."

At this moment, she suddenly hated that she didn't have anything with her. Otherwise, she might have been able to help him. She didn't need to be so passive and become a burden to him.

Xiao Jingyue acted as if he didn't hear her, his left hand tightly hugging her waist, tightly holding her in his embrace.

Not long after, another wound appeared on his shoulder.

Qu Ling stared at the piece of clothes that had instantly been dyed red, and started to panic, "Can you let me down, I can find a place to hide myself, what a pity about my life."

However, Xiao Jingyue said: "Is there anywhere safer than this general's embrace?"

"…" Qu Ling really wanted to beat him to death.

She wanted to continue persuading him, but just at this moment, the clear sound of a horse's hooves could be heard in the distance.
