My reborn husband and son are thinking about how to kill me every day.

He even predicted that he would come to stop Minister Yan and Emperor Zhou Gong's conspiracy and would investigate his whereabouts...

Thus, a trap was set here early on.

So, is his perception shared with both the priestess and the male insect? Or is he actually one of the priestess or the male insect?

She didn't kill it before?

Ji Yunshuang exhaled a breath of stale air.

Whether they were killed or not doesn't matter.

If she couldn't kill him before, she can just kill him again now.

She used her telekinesis to observe the room's layout, then instantly poured gasoline all over the room and simultaneously set it ablaze.

Because the gasoline spraying and ignition occur almost simultaneously, there is almost no time for the other party to react.

In an instant, everything in the room burst into flames.

This includes men, as well as snakes coiled in circles.

The snakes hissed terrifyingly as they were burned by the fire, but they remained within the formation and did not attempt to escape.

Seeing the snake and the man suddenly engulfed in flames, Qiu Yuan instantly became excited and shouted, "It's His Majesty the Divine Lord! His Majesty the Divine Lord is punishing him!"

The fact that Ji Yunshuang was unharmed and was still dealing with men gave everyone confidence.

Those following Qiu Yuan also rallied, repeatedly saying, "Yes, yes, it's His Majesty, we don't know him."

"His Majesty has made a move! Let us all rouse ourselves and not back down!"

"Yes, yes, we won't be cowards. We won't disgrace His Majesty, let's all attack together!"

……

The crowd, weapons in hand, surrounded them again.

Ji Yunshuang in the space did not rest either.

She had just burned the man and the strange array he had drawn, but the man didn't panic at all.

Ignoring his burning clothes, he used the bone sword in his hand to cut his wrist again, just like before, and then used the bone sword to draw talismans on his blood.

Soon, the fire on his body went out.

This time, his face looked even paler than before. He took out the insects from the porcelain bottle again, hoping to use the same method to heal his wound.

At that moment, Ji Yunshuang emerged from the space, her weapon aimed at him and the worm in his hand.

The man seemed unsurprised by Ji Yunshuang's sudden appearance, as if he had been waiting for her. A wicked smile appeared on his face. "You think that burning the array I drew will render it useless?"

"What? You also have nine lives? Like the witch, you can be resurrected in someone else's body after you die?" Ji Yunshuang's sword was firmly inserted into the other party's heart, and the worm in his hand was also cut in half by Ji Yunshuang.

The man coughed up blood, a wicked smile playing on his lips: "Next time... the next time we meet won't be so easy. Watch out!"

After saying that, he collapsed to the ground with a thud, bursting into flames along with the surrounding fire.

With the man dead, the snakes no longer stubbornly hid within the formation. Some began to flee, while others were killed by the guards brought by Qiu Yuan.

Ji Yunshuang ignored the snakes; what she valued more was the bone sword in the man's hand.

Today, this same bone sword almost injured me.

She even had a feeling that her mental energy was being drained by that strange bone sword.

After the man died, her first thought was to pick up the bone sword and study it.

But to her surprise, as soon as the man died, the runes on the bone sword instantly disappeared, and in just a moment, it turned from a bone sword full of evil energy into a black, seemingly useless piece of broken bone.

"His Majesty!"

Qiu Yuan and his men finally stormed in, only to find that Ji Yunshuang had already killed everyone. But Ji Yunshuang stood motionless in the sea of ​​fire, staring at a dark, unidentifiable object on the ground, a thoughtful expression on her face.

He lowered his voice unconsciously and said with concern, "If you don't go outside, the fire here is getting bigger and bigger."

While Qiu Yuan was speaking, the bone sword gradually shattered from its black color and finally turned into powder, completely extinguishing Ji Yunshuang's desire to take it to be tested to see what kind of bone it was made of.

She used her telekinesis to manipulate the water in the space and extinguish the fire to prevent it from getting too big and spreading to other houses on the street.

Outside the crowd, Minister Yan stood with his legs as heavy as lead, staring blankly as the rain suddenly fell from the sky and extinguished the fire.

Although the rain only fell in a limited area, reaching only around the burning houses, it was still powerful enough to summon wind and rain!

He once again came to the reality.

Ji Yunshuang is indeed a goddess...

He paid no heed to the few remaining sparks or the haphazardly hacked snake carcasses scattered across the ground.

He immediately knelt before Ji Yunshuang and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty! I truly did not know that Qiu Jin had set a trap here to harm you. I am guilty; I misjudged people. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Previously, he had acted like a subject in front of Ji Yunshuang, but now he dared not do so anymore.

"I truly had no idea he would plot against His Majesty, and even drag me into his scheme..."

He felt a chill run down his spine as he recalled the whole incident.

He had always been arrogant, believing that everything was under his control, but he never expected that this person had approached him for Ji Yunshuang's sake. The planning had begun long ago.

He didn't suspect a thing...

Ji Yunshuang recalled the man's words before he died. Clearly, he was just testing her this time.

She looked at Minister Yan and said, "Get up! Let's find a place where you can tell us everything that happened between you."

This person is from the Witch Clan. The plague and monsters that caused such a stir before were all the work of the Witch Clan's Holy Maiden.

"I have already slain the priestesses, but it is clear that they are not yet dead and wish to continue wreaking havoc on the world."

Minister Yan, sweating profusely, shakily got up from the ground.

He had always thought that the witch of the Wu tribe was just a pretext, all for her reputation, but now it seems that he was very wrong.

He kept wiping the sweat from his forehead as he walked out of the messy house with Ji Yunshuang.

Ji Yunshuang hadn't gone far either.

After she walked into the courtyard, she moved a table and two chairs out of her spatial storage and said to Minister Yan, "Sit down! Let's have a good talk."

Minister Yan dared not sit down.

He stared in shock at the suddenly appearing tables and chairs. He dared not hide anything and recounted exactly how he met the man.

The way the two met was really cliché.

Just like the way the shrine maiden met people before, this time Minister Yan encountered danger unexpectedly while traveling and was then rescued by a man.

Minister Yan was grateful to the man for saving him. Later, he unexpectedly learned that the man was a martial arts practitioner with a unique skill. He then befriended the man and made him work for him.

After finishing his words, Minister Yan felt a pang of regret. Who could have imagined that his acquaintance with the man was just a trap?

At first, he did have his suspicions, wondering if someone was deliberately getting close to him. However, after having someone investigate the circumstances of his ordeal and confirming that it was his adversary's doing and had nothing to do with the man, he completely trusted him.

After listening to his story, Ji Yunshuang focused her attention on the enemy who had caused his danger.

"How are the families who caused your danger back then doing now?"

Minister Yan said somewhat awkwardly, "My family has already been raided for embezzlement and bribery."

"All dead?"

Minister Yan said, "They are not all dead, but they are all in prison."

Ji Yunshuang took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from her spatial storage and said to him, "Give me a list of those people."

Minister Yan hurriedly took the paper and pen and began to write.

After finishing writing, he cautiously asked, "Does Your Majesty suspect... that person might be resurrected among these people?"

He also heard what the man said to Ji Yunshuang before he died.

Although I found their conversation strange, thinking about the rumors I had heard before, I had to admit that the world is full of wonders.

He had been too narrow-minded before, to the point that he didn't believe the witches and monsters were real. But now, he had witnessed so many amazing things with his own eyes…

Ji Yunshuang photographed the list he gave her, kept one copy, and put the other in a letterbox, sending it by carrier pigeon to the people in the capital for investigation. Then she said to Minister Yan, "It's still uncertain. However, I have been tracking down the whereabouts of the Witch Clan. If you have any clues, you can tell me."

Minister Yan hurriedly lowered his head and agreed.

By now, the fire has been extinguished.

Qiu Yuan and his men also gathered the snake and the man's corpse together.

Previously, everything related to the plague had to be burned and disinfected.

However, they were still unsure how to handle these matters, so they gathered them all together and awaited Ji Yunshuang's instructions.

Ji Yunshuang looked at the man's corpse again.

The man's corpse was different from the bodies that had been infested by insects, but it was also different from the corpse of a normal person after death.

In that short time, the man's corpse did not smell bad, but it was changing rapidly, just like the bone sword.

His flesh and bones first turned black, and then gradually began to turn into powder.

None of them had ever seen anything like this before, and they all looked surprised.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty! How could his body be like this?"

Ji Yunshuang did not answer.

Because she couldn't answer.

Many things were beyond her comprehension.

The Witch Clan has always been shrouded in mystery.

She said, "She is a member of the witch clan, so she must have used some methods. You all heard what he said just now; he has a backup plan. You should always be vigilant, but don't tell the people about today's news to avoid causing them to panic."

"Yes!" everyone replied in unison.

Seeing that no clues could be found from the man's body, Ji Yunshuang didn't waste any more time and burned it all.
