I woke up to find myself as the villain's older sister.

In just a short while, most of the eerie and terrifying atmosphere around them disappeared.

Suddenly, a man with a rather strange build fell from the sky, looking at Yun Qingyi with a sinister gaze.

Yun Qingyi glanced at him indifferently and flicked the Thunder Whip in her hand. "It seems that you are the spirit of this Three-Sided Valley."

"You! You all! How dare you disturb my peace! I will not let you get away with this!" The man lay prostrate on the ground, a thick, black, blood-like liquid dripping from the corner of his mouth.

"Oh? Us?" Upon hearing this, Yun Qingyi raised an eyebrow, a thought flashing through her mind: "It seems you've already met the other two people in this Three-Sided Valley."

And it seems they haven't gained anything from it.

"Cough!...Cough cough!" The man coughed up a mouthful of blood in anger. "You...you, don't think you can get out of here just because you hurt me. I'm telling you, it's impossible!"

Even if I die, I will leave you all to be crushed to ashes in Three-Sided Valley!

The man stared intently at Yun Qingyi, his expression grim and terrifying. His limbs were in a strange state, as if they had been forcibly broken and bent.

Yun Qingyi frowned, thinking that this should not have been done by Yun Qingrou or Ji Zhaoze. Ji Zhaoze would never do such a thing, and Yun Qingrou would disdain doing such a thing.

After thinking for a moment, she ignored the man's threatening words and said to him, "Was your body deliberately broken?"

Upon hearing this, the man was clearly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Yun Qingyi to ask such a question. He then sneered a few times: "Don't even think about getting close to me. Let me tell you, no matter what you say, I won't let you out!"

"Then stay and be buried with me!"

Yun Qingyi: "..."

She glanced at him indifferently. "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess the gist of it. It was broken by your clansmen during the sacrifice, right? Even if you died and became a spirit, the appearance of this body, along with your soul, will remain forever."

"You...you actually know about sacrifices?!" The man's eyes widened in shock. "These things are only known to us Li people. You are clearly not my people...unless..."

The man seemed to have realized something, his face showing disbelief: "Did those spirits in front of me tell you that?"

After saying that, he muttered to himself, "That's it...that's it...if it's not them, then who is it...the other clansmen are no longer in this ancient sea territory."

The only people who knew about the Li people's sacrificial practices were those who, like him, were forced to participate in the sacrifices.

Thinking of this, he suddenly burst into laughter, his laughter tinged with a strange sadness: "I never imagined that I would be betrayed by my own people until my death."

Yun Qingyi: "..."

After laughing for a while, the man looked at Yun Qingyi with icy eyes, his chilling gaze like that of a venomous snake ready to strike at any moment: "So what if you know? I won't let you leave. If I'm not having a good time, neither will you!"

During my lifetime, because of my low social status and taciturn nature, I was disliked by my clansmen and was therefore chosen by them to be sacrificed, thus separating me from my wife and children.

Do you know how they treated me?! Do you know?!

Yun Qingyi: "..."

The man didn't expect Yun Qingyi to speak; he started talking to himself, his expression shifting between madness and tenderness, as if he were reminiscing about something.

"I have a daughter who is smart, clever and lovable, and a wife who is a very gentle person who always encourages me."

Although my family has a low status among the Li people and often has to be mindful of others' feelings, I don't find living with them difficult. On the contrary, my heart is filled with happiness.

But one day, when the people of my tribe were to perform a sacrificial ceremony to the sea god, they chose me…

"You know what? When I heard the news, I was actually quite happy, after all, they chose me, not one of my wife or daughter."

"If I had chosen them, I think I would have gone crazy, but thankfully, they chose me." Seemingly immersed in the joy of that moment, a smile appeared on the man's festering face.
