"Wait, let me take a breath. Don't be impatient, you almost strangled me to death just now." Xingzai gasped heavily, stroking his neck as he spoke, as if he could still feel the pain of being strangled just now.

He thought to himself that he had to delay time no matter what. This way he could not only wait for Wu Dehui's arrival, but also maybe prevent She Qing from doing other things.

However, Sheqing is not so easily fooled. Although it is no longer human, but a terrifying monster, its intelligence is quite high.

"Are you delaying time?" She Qing's voice suddenly sounded in Xingzai's ears with a hint of coldness.

Xingzai's heart tightened. He didn't expect Sheqing to see through his intentions so quickly.

Before Xingzai could react, Sheqing appeared in front of him again like a ghost, and one hand tightly grasped his neck like an iron clamp, lifting him up.

Xingzai felt difficulty breathing and his vision went dark. He struggled desperately, but found that his strength was insignificant in front of Sheqing.

At this time, She Qing's previous light and ethereal voice was completely gone. Instead, there was a sinister sound, like the sound of knives rubbing against each other, which was creepy.

"This is your last chance. Either you decide to die or not." She Qing's voice was cold and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.

Xingzi knew full well that if he continued to delay, the consequences would be disastrous. Sheqing was completely enraged, like a wild beast out of control, completely bereft of reason. Facing such a monster, neither human nor ghost, there was no point in reasoning, let alone predicting its next deranged move.

At this critical moment, Xingzai hurriedly shouted: "Your sister told me that it was her fault for running around everywhere."

These words seemed to have some kind of magical power, and Sheqing's hand that was pinching Xingzi suddenly loosened. Xingzi was caught off guard and fell straight to the ground like a kite with a broken string. He ignored the pain and immediately took the opportunity to breathe deeply. The feeling of being pinched by Sheqing's neck was so uncomfortable that he felt like he was suffocating.

At this moment, Sheqing seemed frozen in place, motionless. Its previously stable azure light began to flicker abnormally, completely different from its previous state. Seeing this, Xingzi was secretly delighted, realizing that his words seemed to have worked, successfully catching Sheqing's attention.

Sheqing was obviously very excited now, and her emotions seemed to be completely influenced by Xingzai's words. This just met Xingzai's purpose of delaying time.

After a while, Sheqing's figure, like a ghost, slowly drifted back to the central altar. Its steps seemed unsteady, as if it were carrying a heavy burden. Finally, like Xingzi, it slumped down on the altar, its body trembling slightly.

Sheqing was mumbling something inaudible. Listening carefully, I realized it was repeating, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. Sister, you're not wrong, you're not wrong. I've hurt you..." Its voice was filled with pain and self-blame, as if it were in deep regret.

However, this self-blame did not last long. Suddenly, as if driven by a powerful force, She Qing stood up suddenly, and then flashed in front of Xingzi again at an astonishing speed.

This time, Sheqing's hands gripped Xingzai's shoulders tightly, so tightly that Xingzai couldn't help but frown. His eyes widened, revealing a sense of panic and anxiety, and he shouted incoherently: "Hurry up, tell me, what else did my sister say? Tell me!"

Xingzai was startled by Sheqing's sudden action, but he quickly calmed down. He looked at the extremely agitated Sheqing in front of him, and couldn't help but feel pity. So, he took a deep breath and continued, "Your sister said that she asked you to go find her because she was running around. It was at this time that you were kidnapped by those bad guys. If she hadn't been running around, you wouldn't have gone to find her, and you wouldn't have been kidnapped, and you wouldn't have suffered so much torture. Your sister blames herself very much, she thinks it's all her fault. But she no longer has the ability to say sorry to you in person..."

At the moment when Sheqing suddenly floated into the air, a powerful force seemed to burst out from its body, accompanied by a deafening roar, and the entire space trembled. This roar seemed to be the release of the pain and despair deep in Sheqing's heart, which made people shudder.

Then, like lightning, Sheqing flashed back to the central altar, its figure leaving a blurry afterimage in the air. Xingzai and Huadi witnessed this scene, and their doubts were finally confirmed - Sheqing could not leave the altar for too long.

Sheqing slumped heavily on the central altar, its body trembling slightly, as if it had lost all strength. Its eyes were empty and lifeless, and it kept muttering, "I'm sorry, sister. I'm sorry, sister..." Its voice was filled with endless regret and self-blame, which made people feel pity.

Seeing Sheqing in such pain, Xingzi couldn't help but feel an urge to get closer to it and see if he could help. He took a cautious step and tentatively walked towards the central altar.

When Xingzai took two steps, Sheqing didn't react at all. It was still immersed in its own world and didn't notice Xingzai's approach. Seeing this, Xingzai gradually grew bolder and continued to move forward.

However, when Xingzai was five meters away from the central altar, the situation suddenly changed. Sheqing, as if startled by something, suddenly raised his head, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Before Xingzai could react, Sheqing flashed in front of him like a ghost. Its speed was as fast as lightning, leaving no time for anyone to dodge. Sheqing stretched out a hand, tightly grasped Xingzai's neck like an iron clamp, and then swung it violently, throwing Xingzai out.

Xingzai's body flew through the air like a kite with a broken string, and finally fell heavily to the ground with a dull thud. He groaned in pain, feeling as if his body was falling apart.

After throwing Xingzai out, Sheqing did not continue to attack. Instead, he flashed back to the central altar and sat there slumped, muttering to himself, "I'm sorry, sister..."

Xingzi struggled to get up from the ground, his body swaying slightly, but his gaze remained firmly fixed on the central altar. He took a deep breath and stepped forward again, approaching the mysterious central altar step by step.

However, Sheqing still did not react, standing there like a silent statue. Xingzi couldn't help but feel a little doubtful, but he did not stop and continued to walk forward firmly.

When Xingzai was five meters away from the central altar, a dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of him like lightning. Before Xingzai could react, he felt a powerful force throw him out.

Xingzai fell heavily to the ground, his body hitting the ground with a dull thud. He felt a sharp pain, but fortunately, he was not seriously injured. This made him realize that Sheqing had been lenient with him. After all, if Sheqing had used all his strength, he might not just fall down, but might have suffered more serious injuries.

Xingzi struggled to get up from the ground, rubbed the injured part, and looked towards the central altar again. He decided to try again to see if he could break through the five-meter limit.

So, Xingzi once again cautiously walked towards the central altar. When he was five meters away from the central altar, as expected, Sheqing appeared in front of him in an instant, just like before, and threw him out again without mercy.

Xingzai tried twice, with the same result. Each time he got within five meters of the central altar, Sheqing would suddenly appear and throw him out. Xingzai began to ponder the reason, suspecting that the five-meter range was a limit, and that Sheqing seemed to be under some kind of restriction, destroying any creature within five meters of the central altar.

However, Xingzai also knew in his heart that the reason why he was not killed directly by Sheqing like other creatures was probably because he knew Sheqing's sister's last words, which made it show mercy to Xingzai.

After falling twice, Xingzai still walked towards the central altar, but he stopped more than five meters away from the central altar. As expected, Sheqing did not move at all, and still sat slumped on the central altar and muttered to himself.
