Although the little apprentice sister is weak, she can fight

Su Tingyu watched Zhang Qiyan grimace in shock as Wang You's spiritual power struck him, and he hurried over to support him, "Immortal Venerable, what's going on..."

"Those bugs have been released." Wang You said to Shen Qiao.

Tao Yao stood up straight after hearing this, "Are you really going to release bugs tonight?"

Zhang Qiyan rubbed the back of his neck which was hurt by the beating. He always felt something sticky in the palm of his hand. He took his hand in front of him and opened his palm to take a look. He almost vomited because of nausea.

Su Tingyu took a look and found that it was a thumb-sized insect corpse shaped like a fly. Because it had just been crushed by Zhang Qiyan, its shape could no longer be recognized, but it had made Zhang Qiyan's hand sticky with black mucus.

So the Immortal Venerable was swatting insects just now?

Su Tingyu silently glanced at the red mark on the back of her neck, cleared his throat, and politely brought the conversation back to the point, "We misunderstood the Immortal Venerable. But now that the poisonous insect has been released, in your opinion, can we still try to save it?"

Wang You narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you need my help? You still have one chance to ask me for help last time."

Shen Qiao chuckled, "You have a pretty good memory. But I can't bear to use such a precious opportunity here."

"I have to save up a big amount for you before I sell it to you, so that I won't lose out."

Wang You was silent for a long time, and finally said, "It's up to you."

So...what is this master and disciple talking about?

Zhang Qiyan couldn't help but think about it, and he and Su Tingyu looked at each other at the same time.

Tao Yao understood the meaning behind it, "You mean... you have a way to break the impasse?"

Shen Qiao smiled and said, "Yes."

"Is this true?!"

Upon hearing that there was hope, Si Huangzhao, who was sitting on the throne, quickly stood up. He didn't care that he was still dizzy because his soul had just returned to his body. He staggered down from the throne and walked straight to the group of people. He bowed directly, his eyes full of hope, "If the immortal can really save the people of my capital from danger, I, Si Huangzhao, am willing to offer everything!"

"Including your throne?" Shen Qiao suddenly added.

Everyone saw that Si Huangzhao seemed to be slightly startled, but then he smiled and lowered his head even deeper, "Why not trade the throne for the peace of the people?"

Shen Qiao smiled when she heard this. She put Zui Bugui away and walked out the door. "Remember your words, be a good emperor."

She passed by Wang You, and as she walked, the azure spiritual energy around her began to condense crazily again.

Zhang Qiyan felt this familiar spiritual power and his pupils gradually widened, "You..."

By the time he walked out the door, Shen Qiao had turned back into his original demigod form.

"In this case, I won't be at a loss tonight."

Zhang Qiyan couldn't help wanting to follow him out, but Su Tingyu stopped him and shook his head.

After going out, Shen Qiao took a deep breath, turned around and jumped onto the roof of the hall. After standing still, he opened his arms and began to recite.

"The Luoshen Curse?!" Tao Yao was shocked and hurried to the door and looked up.

"I remember that the conditions for activating this spell are very harsh. It even requires the caster's own spirit bones to be placed in the formation..."

She turned around abruptly and looked at Wang You. "She's going to sacrifice herself!? Aren't you going to stop her?"

Wang You was still standing with his back to them. In response to Tao Yao's question, he did not turn around or answer.

Zhang Qiyan couldn't stand it anymore and was about to go out immediately, "I'm going to bring her back! At worst, everyone in the capital will be bitten and we can treat them later! If she fights like this, there's no hope of saving her!"

"Seven words!" Su Tingyu pulled her back directly.

Zhang Qiyan shook off Su Tingyu's hand fiercely and said angrily, "You can't just let us watch her die like this!"

Su Tingyu hurriedly grabbed the man again. He frowned and hesitated to speak. He glanced in the direction of Wang You and saw that although Wang You was standing there without moving, he did not look too nervous or worried.

He sighed and guessed, "I think... Fellow Daoist Shen might have other preparations."

Zhang Qiyan couldn't think of anything else now. His eyes were red with anxiety. "What can I prepare? She's just a skeleton! I can't expect her to possess a piece of wood after being sacrificed like this!!!"

"She has her own plans."

Seeing that Su Tingyu was about to lose control of the person, Wang You spoke slowly.

"No one else needs to intervene."

Tao Yao had been watching as a bystander, so her mind was more flexible. She suddenly remembered that before entering the palace, Shen Qiao seemed to have given Si Huangjing a bottle of powder-like substance.

"What she gave Si Huangjing before...was it a preparation for what's happening now?"

Wang You turned around and responded.

Zhang Qiyan calmed down a little after hearing this. Her voice was hoarse and she even forgot to wipe away her tears. "What do you mean by this? Doesn't she have to die?"

"It's rumored that the Luoshen Curse's greatest power is to dispel evil spirits and purify everything. Because this spell was created by Luoshen, the caster must possess a water spirit root of the highest quality and highest yin in order for it to be effective. Furthermore, because this spell consumes a great deal of energy, an ordinary cultivator can only cast it once in their lifetime."

Tao Yao was confused again as she spoke, "Actually, I don't understand the powder either. Why does it mean she doesn't have to die if she has it?"

After Wang You turned his gaze, he kept looking outside the hall. The chanting had reached the critical point, but it was only halfway through.

"That bottle of powder is her corpse from her previous life."

Everyone in the hall was stunned.

This time Su Tingyu reacted and asked quickly, "You mean... that belongs to Senior Chi Musheng..."

Wang You's expression was indifferent, but his hands under his sleeves tightened unconsciously.

"Other people may only be able to use this technique once."

"But for her, it's an exception."

"Really?" Zhang Qiyan finally felt relieved and relaxed his strength as he looked at Su Tingyu, "Shen Qiao doesn't have to die anymore?"

Su Tingyu nodded soothingly.

"How did she learn this ancient spell?" Tao Yao asked puzzledly.

"I remember that these ancient techniques were lost long ago. Even if she has memories of her past life, she's not old enough, right?"

This time Wang You didn't answer.

The hall suddenly became quiet, and the brisk and melodious chanting echoed in the hall. The sacred feeling made people gradually calm down their irritable mood. Those who were tied up and thrown into the corner of the hall were also awakened by the sound, and their eyes became clear.

"What, what is that sound?"

"I haven't heard such a pleasant sound in a long time..."

Si Huangzhao also listened quietly, feeling that his soul, which was originally not in harmony with his body, was also being healed bit by bit. All the discomfort was swept away, leaving only a refreshing feeling.

Suddenly, there was a dripping sound outside, and raindrops gradually fell from the chaotic sky.

Tao Yao looked at the raindrops outside and murmured to herself, "Here it comes... the climax of the Luoshen Curse..."
