After listening to her finish, Xue Ruoyun was both angry and resentful. These people were simply inhumane; they were truly wicked beyond redemption.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely rescue you out. I'll definitely report their matter to the Emperor, and I won't let you down."

"Thank you, Envoy." The Holy Maiden kowtowed again.

"There's just one problem, I don't understand." Xue Ruyun frowned.

"Envoy, speak."

"Since you've obtained the medicine and controlled the followers, why do they still want to keep you locked up and not kill you? "Also, what do they want us to do if they catch us here and don't let us work?" After thinking it over carefully, Xue Ruoyun still felt that this Holy Maiden's words had many flaws.

"The reason why I stayed behind was because every time I took a drop of blood, the Holy Maiden would have to recite the sutras herself. Only then would the medicinal effects be real, otherwise no matter how they refine it, it would be useless."

"As for why I want to keep you guys here, this …" The Holy Maiden was somewhat hesitant.

"Speak, are you lying? Are you trying to trick me?" Xue Ruyun stood up.

"No. Actually, I'm keeping you here. Yes, I'm going to use you to sacrifice to the heavens." The Holy Maiden helplessly said it out.

"Men, they caught them working. As for the women, they were assigned to do the menial work. And the beautiful ones first took the blood of a virgin to refine pills, and then they killed the gods … " The Holy Maiden whispered.

"Ah, so unlucky!" Xue Ruyun was so scared that he almost couldn't sit still. No wonder the Holy Maiden hadn't said it.

"Envoy, you don't have to worry. Since the Heavenly Mother sent you to save everyone, you must have a way." The Holy Maiden was still very confident in Xue Luoyun.

"I'm about to be sacrificed to the heavens, how can I save everyone?" Xue Luoyun was helpless, he didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

"It's only the middle of the month, there are still a few days until the next sacrificial ceremony. During this time, you can completely think of a way. Envoy, since the Heavenly Mother has sent you, you cannot abandon us all. " The Holy Maiden looked pleadingly at Xue Ruyun.

Xue Ruyun sighed. "I'll think of something."

"Oh right, how did you get them to let me in here to talk to you? How could they agree? "

"Because every time a new girl comes, they let me choose one so they can accompany me to call on everyone and calm their minds."

"Why the new girl?"

"Because the new girl doesn't know anything about it. Otherwise, they would be afraid that the girl would help me tell everyone the secret."

"Oh, then why have we summoned everyone?"

"Every month, our medicinal properties will fail to work. At this time, we will need to give everyone another pill to consume. This was because this medicine was refined to protect the Holy Maiden. Those who consumed it would only obey the Holy Maiden's orders, and only if the Holy Maiden gave power to the next person in front of them, would they listen to that person's orders. So every month they force me to meet them outside. "

"Then who does this right usually go to?"

"Hand over the order."

"Who's the big order?"

"They are the chief protectors of our sect. When the Holy Maiden has problems, let them temporarily act as the representative and take charge of everyone. However, this person is not the real leader of our sect. The real leader has already been killed by them.

"Too cunning."

"Every time when I hand over power, I need someone by my side to help me point the mark of my sect on his forehead. And you, are this person."

"So that's how it is. Have you ever thought about refusing to hand over the authority to meet with everyone and telling everyone this secret?"

"This won't do. Do you think I've never tried it before? I've done it before, and it ended up harming everyone here." The Holy Maiden cried out in grief.

"At that time, I refused to hand over the authority and wanted to tell everyone the secret. I didn't expect that after just one sentence, I would be forcefully taken away by them." When I came back, I found that all the chambermaids beside me had their tongues cut off and were being cut off.

When the Holy Maiden thought of that scene, she truly could not bear to look at it. It was bloody to the extreme.

"These heartless bastards!" Xue Ruyun fiercely pounded the table in hatred.

"We're all warning me to be honest, so I had to do this for everyone. After all, those under control were temporarily under control and there was a possibility of liberation in the future. And once these maids are killed, there will be no chance for them to survive. " The Holy Maiden was wholeheartedly thinking for everyone's sake. She repeatedly calculated in her heart, but she was still forced to do so.

"What?! They actually have the chance to wake up?" When Xue Ruyun heard her words, he immediately became happy. He had originally thought that after these people became zombies, they would all die. He didn't expect that they would still be able to wake up after seeing hope again.

"That's right. Every single medicine has poison, and every single medicine has an antidote. Our secret medicine is only meant to punish people, not to kill them. Therefore, there's an antidote, but I didn't tell them at that time that they don't need an antidote either. "

"When will you wake up after taking the medicine?"

"Every half a month after taking the medicine, everyone will wake up."

"Really? That's great. You can wake up even without the antidote?"

"You can wake up, but if you don't continue taking the medicine, you will feel drowsy, and in the next few days, you will gradually wake up. However, there were Gu worms in their bodies, and they were not nourished with medicine. They would continue to torture them, causing their complexions to turn yellow and their muscles to thin, until they lost their lives. Only after taking this antidote will they truly wake up and be free. "

"Great!" When Xue Ruyun heard this news, he was simply too excited.

If they could rescue everyone and fill up the gap in the underground lake, they would be able to return to their previous blissful lives. As Xue Luoyun imagined all these things, his heart was incomparably happy, and he also gained strength.

"But I sneaked in because I have a weak influence, even though there are people helping me outside. However, looking at it now, there are so many among them. Even if I were to release the news, I'm afraid that it would be difficult for me to contend against them with my own strength. " Xue Ruyun frowned, deeply worried.

"It seems that I can only think of a way to wake up the people inside first so that I can go against them. "At the moment, I can only enter the pharmacy and use the place where he refines the medicine to make the antidote …" Xue Ruyun began to calculate with his fingers.

"Envoy, you don't have to worry about this. As long as you can save me, I am the Holy Maiden. Our followers are everywhere, and with my order, everyone will come to save us." The Holy Maiden said.

"But everyone needs time to gather everyone. Moreover, once the Holy Maiden runs away, they will definitely be on alert. What if they kill some of the disciples in the cave to vent their anger?" Xue Luoyun considered everything.

"How about this, we first think of a way to sneak into the pharmacy and change the poison into an antidote, but when everyone is awake, as long as you take this medicine, you can wake up immediately and escape by yourself, or you can save me." After I go out, I'll recruit believers and then I can fight them and not be afraid of them. " The Holy Maiden came up with an excellent plan based on Xue Luoyun's thoughts.

"It can be, but with just the two of us here, it'll be difficult for us to get in and concoct the antidote." Xue Luoyun looked at the tightly locked up him and the Holy Maiden, feeling absolutely helpless.

"We'll think about it slowly." The two of them continued to discuss until dawn arrived.

On this side, Mu Sheng and the others had been assigned to the pharmacy. The two of them were responsible for cutting the medicine and brewing the medicine. The few ghost-masked men on the side had been keeping an eye on them, they didn't have any time to rest, the other undeads wouldn't feel tired anyway.

They had to keep working.

It was only until the night time when the Ghost-Masked Man told them to stand at their original spot that they went back to rest.

Mu Sheng and the others had spent an entire day concocting medicine, so they were able to understand the environment and the process. Every time the medicine was made, they would take it out and feed it to the newly captured young man. After the young man finished eating, he indeed became dull and stiff. The group of ghost-masked men once again marked their necks for identification.

The two of them roughly understood the size and distribution of the interior. However, the most important thing was that they still hadn't found Xue Ruoyun. They didn't know where she had gone to.

"Your Highness, from the looks of it, they should be relying on these medicines to control others." Wei Ming said.

"Since they're relying on this medicine to control others, let's disrupt the materials. This way, we won't be able to control the youngsters if the effects of the medicine are unknown." Mu Sheng laid on the ground with his hands behind his head.

The next day, when the two of them wanted to make the wood, they bumped into each other and the herbs fell to the ground.

"What are you doing? Pick it up quickly!" As the Ghost-Masked Man spoke, he lashed out with his whip.

Mu Sheng and the others quickly bent down to pick up the medicine packs. By this time, the herbs in their hands had already been exchanged. This way, the medicinal properties of each medicinal herb would be different.

After doing it for a while, the Ghost-Masked Man requested for everyone to gather.

Mu Sheng and the others were pushed to the bottom of the great hall.

At this moment, two young girls appeared in the distant building. They walked out under the 'protection' of the two black-masked men from the left and right.

"Long live the Holy Maiden!" Even though they had taken the medicine, everyone still remained stiff and stiff as they saluted. Mu Ying and the others followed suit and started kowtowing as well.

After he finished kowtowing, Mu Ying raised his head and peeked at the so-called Holy Maiden. When he saw his, he was so frightened that he almost couldn't stand straight and revealed his secret.

It turned out that there was actually a white-clothed female beside this woman. She had an extraordinary appearance. The woman with this sort of appearance was none other than Xue Ruyun.

"How did she get into that place? She's really amazing." Mu Sheng admired him from the bottom of his heart.

Having finally seen Xue Ruyun for so long, Mu Rong Hao felt incredibly happy in her heart. For the past few days, she had been worrying about Xue Ruyun, and now that she saw that she was safe and sound, she was finally able to relax.

However, she was stiff and stiff, her gaze dull and lifeless, probably controlled by the Ghost-Masked Man. However, Mu Ying was absolutely confident in this. With Xue Ruyun's intelligence, he definitely wouldn't be controlled. She had to be pretending. "Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu … Mu …"
