Mu Sheng felt a splitting headache coming on. In his mind, he unceasingly recalled the scene where Xue Ruoyun had been assassinated that day behind the entrance to the cave. She was already suffering from the backlash and was also surrounded and attacked by the group of Ghost-Masked Man, and now she was being tortured in the cave by all sorts of Ghost-Masked Men.

Thinking about how this person who he could not bear to hurt a single bit of, this person who was at the apex of his heart, was being trampled on by others, Mu Sheng felt that this was more painful than being cut by a blade.

The more Mu Ying thought about this, the more blood he lost. His steps became unsteady and he started to walk left and right. The blood that flowed out from his body had already drawn a long arc on the ground.

"Your highness, your highness …" The two Godly Doctors chased him to the door, but there was already no trace of Mu Ying. At this time, a powerful troop of soldiers and horses had arrived at the entrance of the county magistrate court, blocking their path.

He saw that the one giving the order was a female general. She waved her hand, and the army stopped. She did not carry a sword with her, but she lightly waved a folding fan. Her demeanor was graceful.

The two genius doctors were blocked by the soldiers and just as they were about to dodge, they didn't expect that this general would walk in front of them in a few steps.

"Godly doctors, long time no see." The two of them clasped their hands and bowed.

"Ah, so it's General Liang." The two genius doctors reacted and quickly returned the greeting.

When Xue Duan Sheng heard the two of them address her, and looked at her attire, she immediately understood her official title. She hurriedly saluted and said, "This subject is Qing Shui County's magistrate, Xue Duan Sheng greets the general."

"You're County Magistrate Xue Duan Sheng?" "Get up. The Emperor has sent me to investigate the situation in Qing Shui County." Leng Yue glanced at Xue Duan Sheng, not smiling.

"That's great, the Emperor has finally sent someone." Xue Duan Sheng stood up with incomparable happiness.

"What are you guys doing?" Leng Yue saw that the two genius doctors were in a state of panic and could not help but look into the distance, so she asked in confusion.

"Aiya, it's the prince. The prince is in trouble." The two genius doctors anxiously said.

"Ah, has something happened to the prince? This time, I am here for the prince and the others. "Something's wrong."

"General, today we were in danger of losing control of ourselves. Your highness and my daughter are on the verge of death, please quickly go and save them." Xue Duan Sheng knelt down and requested.

"Your highness must be heading towards the underground city now to save Miss Xue. Their lives are in danger now. General Liang, come with us to save them." He didn't have much time to explain.

"Ah, good, mount! "Let's talk on the way." Although Leng Yue had just arrived and didn't know anything yet, when she heard that Xue Ruoyun and the others were in danger, she quickly ordered, and as she spoke, she turned around and mounted the horse.

"Alright." Godly Doctor, Xue Duan Sheng and the others mounted their horses.

Along the way, Xue Duan Sheng told them everything he knew.

"This Ghost-Masked Man is so arrogant, I'm sure he has a powerful backing. So the Emperor only knows this much in the palace, but this place is already so presumptuous." Leng Yue said angrily as she whipped her horse.

"Right now, the Holy Maiden has already led people to attack the underground city first. However, they only have physical strength, and they don't have any cannon power. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on for long." Xue Duan Sheng held his horse tightly and hurriedly caught up to Duan Ling Tian as he spoke in a worried voice.

"Lord Xue, no matter what, you are still a high-ranking official. Why would you wait for the underground organization to act so arrogantly before discovering it?" What Leng Yue said wasn't unreasonable. If Xue Duan Sheng had noticed this earlier and reported it to the Imperial Court, he wouldn't have reached this stage.

"This official knows his wrongs." Xue Duan Sheng lowered his eyebrows. Since his arrival here, he had been in constant trouble. Not only was the fate of his two daughters unknown, the prince had also suffered such heavy injuries. Xue Duan Sheng knew that his crimes this time were unforgivable.

Inside the underground city, the ceremony was still going on nervously. The Holy Maiden and the others had already slowly infiltrated the cave, killing off the guards one by one without anyone noticing.

Now that most of them had gone to the altar, many things had stopped. No matter what, the Holy Maiden and the others had spent many years in this cave. They were relatively familiar with the environment of the opposite side, so they slowly walked towards the direction of the altar, as if they were very familiar with it.

"Hurry up, don't dilly-dally, you've delayed for quite some time." A few nannies urged from the side.

Xue Luoyun and the others had already been prepared for a while now was their only chance to escape.

"What are you rushing me for, you black-hearted old dog?" Xue Ruyun stood in the middle of the pool and suddenly began to fiercely beat up the two mama.

"Aiyo, you little bastard. You're going to die soon, yet you still want to receive a beating from me right?" When the mama saw Xue Lao Yun humiliating her like this, she became even angrier. She rolled up her sleeves and stuck her waist in, then began to wildly curse at Xue Lao Yun.

"Hehe, if you dare to touch me, why am I still as carefree and carefree as before? You only feel that you're a manager, but I've never thought that in my heart, you're just a lowly slave serving us!"

Xue Luoyun crossed his arms in front of his chest, mocking and ridiculing the mama.

"Aiya, you dare to scold me?" This wet nurse had never received such humiliation before. Her face was red with anger, and she couldn't care less. She was so angry that she wanted to come to the pool and beat up Xue Luoyun.

The other mama quickly pulled her back. "Right now, it's a critical moment. This girl has the most foresight. Who knows, she might be purposely provoking you. Calm down and don't fall for her tricks, she's tricked you."

It seemed that these mama were quite calm.

Xue Ruyun just sneered, "I'm scolding you? "Sorry, you are not qualified. I scolded all of you. All of you are old dogs!"

This time, the few mama who were previously unconcerned with their own matters were immediately angered. This Xue Luoyun was too arrogant, and they had already endured enough for a few days. It was time for them to give her a good beating.

"Sisters, did you see that? This girl's mouth is so cheap. Today, we must tear that sharp mouth to shreds." A mama shouted, and a few people jumped into the water.

Seeing them walk over with their long fangs and brandishing their claws, not only was he not afraid, he even became more arrogant.

The few mama were so angry that they lost all reason. They only had eyes for Xue Ruoyun and completely forgot about their surroundings. Those imperial ladies all came from behind with a belt in their hands.

Just as the mama was about to take care of Xue Ruyun, the usually soul-loving and lifeless emperors wrapped the belt around her neck, and the two of them pulled back one by one.

"Ah, you guys …" Only then did the mama realize that she had fallen into his trap, her hand covering her neck. Struggling to untie his belt. However, these emperors didn't give them any chance at all. They fiercely clung onto her, not giving her any chance at all.

A few of the mama struggled for a while, their faces gradually turning purple in color, but they were still struggling. They were all broad and fat, and their strength was great. The emperors were bleeding every day, and their strength was inferior to theirs.

Seeing that he was about to be pulled out of their grasp, Xue Luoyun suddenly shouted, "Drag him into the water!"

After the emperors heard this, they tried their best to restrain them, forcing their heads into the water at the same time. As expected, after a few of the mama flapped their wings for a while, they stopped moving.

"Ah, you, you are …" At this time, Xue Lian came out to change his clothes. When he saw this scene, he was so frightened that he retreated.

"Painting Xue Lian, you're the one who caused us to fall into today's situation. Since we're going to die, we'll deal with you first." An empress slowly walked over while shaking the belt in her hand.

"Ah, no, no, I'm sorry, I was confused at the time, I didn't dare to do that." Xue Lianfeng promptly kneeled down and begged for mercy.

"Fine, I'll let you off this time. If you dare to snitch again, they will be your role models." The empress pointed at the mama and threatened. Actually, they were just scaring Xue Lian and Painting away.

What Xue Lian said was indeed the truth. It wasn't that she didn't dare to reveal herself, but that she had already seen through the Ghost-Masked Man and they wouldn't let her out. At this critical moment, it would be better to escape with these emperors.

After these emperors said this, they quickly sneaked out. There were only a few ghost-masked men guarding outside the door. They were waiting to escort the Ancestor's daughter away.

"What should I do?" One of the emperors asked.

"I have an idea." As he spoke, Xue Ruyun picked up a rock and threw it into the distance. The few bronze masked men heard the sound and immediately went to check the situation. After they left, Xue Ruoyun followed everyone else and quickly slipped out.

On this side, the Holy Maiden and the others had already stealthily made their way to the outer circle of the altar. They used the cover of the mountain rocks to secretly observe the situation inside.

On top of the altar, there was the dancing of Heaven's Sacrifice Dance. A group of undeads were reverently watching from below.

At this time, the few undeads outside turned around and found the Holy Maiden.

"Oh no, we've been discovered!" The Holy Maiden cried out in alarm. Once this undead discovered her, they would run over to worship her. This way, they would definitely be discovered.

"What should we do?" Wei Ming looked at her and saw that the undeads were getting closer.

"I think we can only kill them." Wei Ming drew his sword.

"No, they are our followers. As long as we take the medicine, we can wake up and not kill them." The Holy Maiden affirmed.

As the two of them were discussing, it was already too late.

"Paying respects..." The undead shouted.

Fortunately, before they could finish, a few Protectors pounced on them, covered their mouths, and forcibly stuffed a pill in. And then they were dragged behind the rocks and hidden,

"Thank goodness you guys were quick. Just now, I was in danger." The Holy Maiden patted her chest, looking at the altar. The drums were heavy, so they probably didn't notice this small sound.

"It's almost too late, let's split up." When the Holy Maiden heard the rhythm of the drum, she knew that it would soon end. It was time for her to offer the next offering.

They split up into two groups. On the way, they were led by Wei Ming to the back of the altar. They took advantage of the time before the offerings to rescue Xue Ruyun and the others.

As for the other path, the Holy Maiden and the others would secretly give them the antidote from the outside, letting them consume it obediently.

"Be careful." After saying this, Wei Ming led a few followers away.

However, before he could go far, he slowly raised his sword and retreated. The Holy Maiden and the others were also surrounded by the Ghost-Masked Man.
