This middle-aged man was none other than Zimu Qi, the current head of the Zimu clan!
Elder Luo said, "Reporting to the patriarch, I have found a person with a strong will who can resist the corruption of the demon on the fourth floor."
"The second young lady is neglected, so we thought of sending him over, which might be of some use."
Upon hearing this, Zi Muqi was surprised and said, "Can it resist the corruption of the demons on the fourth floor? Bring it up!"
Elder Luo waved his hand, and Li Lan stepped into the main hall. Zi Muqi scrutinized Li Lan for a few moments, while Luo Jiufang had already given Li Lan a detailed account of his information.
"To possess such a temperament in a mere mortal body... well, good!"
Zi Muqi immediately said, "Perfect timing. My second brother invited the temple priest Qi to help Jie'er exorcise evil spirits. Since you are not afraid of the evil spirits, you can go with him."
Li Lan said, "Yes, sir."
"The temple keeper, Qi, has arrived!"
At that moment, a voice rang out, and Zi Muqi immediately went out to greet it. He saw Zi Mushan, the second master of the Zi Mu clan, walking over with an old man.
The old man was dressed in golden robes, exuding an aura of holiness. He held a white banner, which shone with a faint light of faith, giving him an air of otherworldly grace.
"Master Qi, you've finally arrived—"
Zi Muqi stepped forward and spoke quite politely.
The Zimu family also controls two temples, each with its own temple keepers. However, the Zimu family's power is not great, and the temple keepers of those two small temples are also quite ordinary in strength. They had often asked them to help suppress the malice emanating from the Second Miss, but to no avail.
This time, Duanmu Shan personally went to another family—the Qingyun family—and invited the temple keeper.
The strongest member of the Purple Wood Clan is only at the "Life Wood" level, but the Azure Cloud Clan has reached the "Divine Fire" level.
"Where is the Second Miss?"
The temple priest, Qi, spoke directly, saying, "I want to see just what kind of malice could have allowed her to tormented for so many years!"
He was quite confident, and immediately, Zi Muqi led the way, taking everyone with him.
The group entered a secluded courtyard. While other places were full of flowers, this place was desolate with fallen yellow leaves. The two maids guarding outside had gloomy faces and looked very unwell.
"How have you been these past few days, Miss?"
Zi Muqi asked a question.
"Reporting to the patriarch, Miss is still the same as before, working tirelessly without sleep, and occasionally having epileptic seizures, wanting to kill and thirsting for blood..."
"A maidservant said."
Zi Muqi nodded, sighed, and said, "Principal Qi, please wait a moment. I will go and bring my daughter out."
He looked at Li Lan beside him and said, "Wu Heng, since you are not afraid of malicious interference, go in and invite the young lady out!"
Li Lan's heart stirred, and he immediately nodded.
"Wait a minute—"
But the temple priest, Qi, spoke up, smiling, "The three of you, each take one of these pills, and your lives will be safe—"
He took out three vermilion pills, and the two maids thanked him profusely and hurriedly took them. Li Lan glanced at them, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything and swallowed them as well.
Two maids followed him and pushed open the door.
Upon entering the room, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the air. Li Lan glanced around and saw that this place should have been a young lady's boudoir, but it was now extremely messy, with some spirit beast corpses still lying around.
"The young lady has to devour fresh flesh and blood every day..."
A maid spoke in a low voice.
The curtain fluttered in front of them, and both women trembled. "If we're killed, we'll eat them too..."
The temperature around them had dropped a few degrees, but Li Lan remained calm. He walked over step by step and lifted the curtain!
"Roar--"
A roar suddenly rang out, and Li Lan instantly saw a girl dressed in bright red on the ground, tearing at the flesh of a spirit beast. She suddenly turned around, looking at Li Lan with a ferocious and eerie expression, and pounced on him!
……
"Brother, are you really going to let these three servants feed Jie'er properly?"
In the courtyard, Zi Mushan calmly asked a question.
He knew Zi Mujie's condition very well and was keenly aware that Zi Mujie could only control her mania under one specific circumstance...
That is... when you're full.
"Don't be afraid. These three have taken my Tranquilizing and Demon-Dispelling Pill. After the Second Miss takes it, she will naturally be controlled by the drug's effects..."
Qi, the temple keeper, smiled, stroked his beard, and looked very confident!
Upon hearing this, Elder Luo Jiufang, standing beside Zi Muqi, slightly changed his expression.
He originally intended to send Li Lan to serve as a servant to the Second Miss, but now she's been turned into a sacrificial offering...
But he only sighed softly, saying that this was Li Lan's own fate.
Zi Muqi also took a deep breath and said, "Please, Temple Priest Qi, set up the altar!"
Qi, the temple priest, nodded and waved his hand. His two disciples took out the altar and other items from their storage bags and set it up in the courtyard. Incense and candles were lit on the altar, and Qi, the temple priest, took out a small clay statue and placed it in the center.
"Fellow Daoists, please stand on my left and right to assist me. I will draw upon the sacred energy to cleanse the Second Miss shortly!"
The temple priest then looked at the other two.
The two men, dressed similarly to the temple keeper Qi, were the temple keepers of the two temples of the Zimu family. The one who was on the heavier side was named Zimu Xiu, and the one who was as thin as a bamboo pole was named Zimu Chi.
The second young lady, Zi Mujie, held a very high position. Since they were exorcising evil spirits for her, the two of them naturally had to come and assist her.
Immediately, the altar for the three was set up, and from inside the room, Zi Mujie's roars continued...
Soon, the room became quiet.
"It seems Xiaojie has eaten her fill. I'll go and take her out."
Zimushan smiled and strode forward.
But, the next moment, the door was suddenly opened—
A young man helped the girl in red out, and two maids followed behind him, looking nervous.
Everyone was shocked to see this!
These three people are still alive?
