When the Corpse Sect learned that Ruan Zhiyin was being hunted by the Ghost-Faced Man, their expressions suddenly became stern, especially the Sect Leader Xu Qingxiao. The silver hook with a cold glow slashed down, and the stone table beside him was instantly split in two.

"Why did Meng Huali want to kill you?" A clear voice filled Ruan Zhiyin's ears, far less frightening than his left hand. She stared blankly at the silver arc, the more she looked at it, the more it resembled Captain Hook, and her heart began to beat rapidly.

"No... I don't know." It turned out that the person who wanted to kill her was Meng Huali, the Lord of the Ghost Realm!

The sects she encountered today had names that either contained "ghost" or "corpse". One wanted to kill her, and the other wanted to capture her. What the hell!

"Do you know the consequences of deceiving this sect leader?" Xu Qingxiao's tone darkened, and he was quite dissatisfied with this answer.

"It's true! I was dining with two friends at Wanchun Tower, and before we could even take a bite, the ghost-faced men attacked us. One of my friends was stabbed, and the other jumped into the pond. Their lives remain unknown. I was rescued when I jumped out of the window, so I escaped. But those ghost-faced men were too numerous and powerful, so I had no choice but to flee here." Ruan Chuyin roughly recounted what happened. She was already in such a miserable state, so why would she lie?

"Who are you that can make Meng Huali take action personally?" Xu Qingxiao continued to ask.

They've already forced her into the sect, and now she's asking? Ruan Chuyin suddenly felt that the people of the Corpse Sect were quite willful. She quickly weighed which identity to use.

"If you dare to hide anything, I will kill you." Xu Qingxiao knew from her expression that this woman wanted to deceive him, so he said the ugly words in advance.

"My disciple, you are already a member of the Corpse Sect. If you lie in front of the Sect Master, even your master cannot save you! Think carefully." After all, he was the one who rescued her and even performed the ceremony of becoming her disciple. Ge Yinghan could not bear to watch her being executed.

A group of disciples headed by Miao Changyu became excited again and began to put pressure on them, fearing that the junior sister would die before she even had time to warm up.

This... Ruan Chuyin was torn. Telling them everything was dangerous. But if she didn't, the risk seemed even greater!

Cautiously testing the waters, he asked, "If I tell you, will you hand me over?"

"How is that possible! The Ghost Realm and our Corpse Sect are incompatible. Meng Huali wants to kill you, and the Sect Master will definitely protect you to the end." Ge Yinghan gave his disciple a reassurance.

If that's the case, then... there's nothing I can't say. Just as I was about to open my mouth, I heard my cheap master say, "Come on, don't hide anything. Tell it all. Once you join the Corpse Sect, you're a member of the sect in life and a ghost in death."

Xu Qingxiao nodded slightly, his face expression unclear under his cloak.

Ruan Chuyin swallowed hard as she listened to her master's unusually serious tone.

"I... was an orphan. I was homeless and wandering around. Later, someone saved me, and I married him."

"Are you married?" The Corpse Sect was shocked again and looked at the little clay figure in front of them again.

"So, who is your husband?" Xu Qingxiao asked the key question.

"Prince of Zhenbei."

Xu Qingxiao was stunned, surprised that this girl was actually a widow. But why would Meng Huali mobilize so many troops to kill a widow? Or was his target actually the Zhenbei Palace?

Thinking of this, he waved his hand.

Ruan Chuyin felt that the atmosphere seemed to become a little heavy, but she was still very happy in her heart because the sect leader was finally fine.

It started raining again, but this time, the only sounds in my ears were no longer just the sounds of wind and rain.
