Wan was overjoyed and asked, "Where is he?!"

Luo Qingcheng turned around and called out, "Mu Zi'en, what are you dawdling for? Hurry up and come over here!"

Mu Zi'en?

Upon hearing the name, Mu Ziyuan looked over and said with some dissatisfaction, "This name sounds just like mine."

Standing behind her, Mu Shiyi had a complicated expression. She stepped forward and said softly, "Miss, this name seems to be the name of the son of the previous head of the family."

In their generation, both the main family and the branch family belonged to the "Zi" generation.

Mu Ziyuan asked in surprise, "Wasn't the entire family of the previous head of the family wiped out?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Zi'en couldn't help but glare at Mu Ziyuan with hatred.

His entire family was wiped out thanks to this ambitious and greedy branch of the family!

Mu Shiyi gripped the jade flute tightly, her whole body tense, carefully observing his every move.

Mu Zi'en gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Luo Qingcheng is clearly in cahoots with them; I must be crazy to take action when nothing is in my favor.

He lowered his head.

Mu Ziyuan, on the contrary, became interested in him.

She leaned closer and said, "Could you really be my cousin?"

If that's true, why have we been completely out of touch for so many years?

Her father had been sending people to search for the family members who had escaped the great disaster.

Mu Zi'en's voice was hoarse, "I don't deserve it."

Seeing that he didn't even look up, Mu Ziyuan felt embarrassed: "Hmph, this is boring."

It was as if she was rushing to go up and recognize her relatives.

She wouldn't deign to.

Luo Qingcheng ignored the resentment in Mu Zien's body.

After they finished speaking, she pointed at Uncle Ma and said, "Senior Sister Wan, the one he's carrying on his back is Uncle Ma."

Wan was somewhat surprised. She was skilled in both alchemy and poison and could tell at a glance that Uncle Ma's life force was weak, almost like that of a dead man. "Who did this?"

Could it be that she really misunderstood Uncle Ma?

Luo Qingcheng said embarrassedly, "I did it."

Wanqing stared wide-eyed. When did Junior Sister Luo become so ruthless?

However, she didn't necessarily think that Luo Qingcheng was indiscriminately killing innocent people, but she was very curious about the reason.

"why?"

"He and Mu Zi'en hid in this underground palace and drew up an unknown array."

"what!"

It's an array!

Wanqing, who had come with a mission, immediately thought of the sea tribe's formation.

Her beautiful eyes sparkled.

The acting sect leader has probably miscalculated. The person connected to the mastermind may not be among the core disciples of each sect, but rather someone else!

Mu Zi'en, who initially thought there was no evidence, remained calm and collected.

After all, if he didn't say what the formation was for, and insisted it was a spirit-gathering formation or some other kind of formation, they couldn't do anything about it.

Unless he kills him like he killed Uncle Ma, he still has time as long as they want to know the truth from him.

He wasn't afraid of dying at all!

The inextinguishable fire that year, while taking away all his relatives, also left his soul in the Mu family's old mansion. Now, as long as he can get revenge, there is nothing he cannot give up, including himself.

Originally, I only wanted to give my life to save Luo Qingcheng from being trapped and dying in this underground palace, but I didn't expect to have an unexpected gain.

Mu Ziyuan, right?

Back then, that little girl who could barely walk and only drooled was the most favored little girl after the family split up.

He planned to use Mu Ziyuan's blood to pay tribute to the souls of those who died tragically before he could formally take revenge!

While Mu Zi'en was conceiving how to do it in his mind.

Wanqing took out the jade bottle.

Without the slightest hesitation, he pulled out the stopper from the jade bottle.

A wisp of smoke, mixed with golden light and resembling demonic energy, drifted out of the jade bottle.

The smoke drifted in the air for a moment, as if hesitating and searching for something.

Wanqing's eyes were fixed on the plume of smoke.

The smoke remained motionless for a long time, leaving her feeling both disappointed and pleased.

Perhaps she's just mistaken.

Just as Wanqing was about to breathe a sigh of relief, the smoke suddenly split into five parts of different sizes.

Apart from Wan Qingchu herself and Xue Zhao, who was lying unconscious on the ground, everyone else present was entangled in the smoke.

The largest plume of smoke went straight toward Luo Qingcheng!

Wan clearly: !!!

Luo Qingcheng reacted quickly. In fact, having witnessed firsthand how Wan Qingchu had unknowingly poisoned the crow man in the secret realm, she had secretly taken precautions against Wan Qingchu's various actions.

So as soon as she saw her take out the jade bottle and remove the jade stopper, Luo Qingcheng quickly used his spiritual power to create a protective shield around himself.

She was the only one present who still had the spiritual power to do this.

The spiritual energy of the others was almost completely depleted.

So they were caught off guard and inhaled the smoke without any resistance.

Wanqing had goosebumps all over her body.

She naturally had no doubt about the investigation results.

Upon seeing that everyone except himself and Xue Zhao was guided by smoke, he quickly took out the poison pill he had hidden on his person and crushed it.

The powder spread silently.

Luo Qingcheng shouted, "Senior Sister Wan, what are you doing?"

Mu Ziyuan's eyes widened as well, "Wanqing, what are you doing?!"

Mu Shiyi knelt on one knee. In order to protect Mu Ziyuan, he did not hesitate to burn his own essence to obtain a meager amount of spiritual power to create a protective shield, which caused the poison to take effect even faster. He spat out blood that was red and black from his mouth. "What does Fairy Wan mean by this?"

Mu Zien suddenly noticed a wisp of smoke heading towards him from behind, and his heart skipped a beat.

Ignoring everyone else, he quickly put Uncle Ma off his back.

After a careful examination, it was discovered that Uncle Ma was still breathing!

He looked at Luo Qingcheng with a complicated expression.

Luo Qingcheng was puzzled.

"Senior Sister Wan, what's the point of that smoke? Why did you suddenly want to kill us?"

Wan clearly knew that five kinds of poison pills had been released in succession. Even though she had taken the antidote pill in advance, she still felt slightly feverish and her cheeks turned red because her body could not withstand such a high dose of poison in a short period of time.

Ever since she saw the largest wisp of smoke pointing towards Luo Qingcheng, she deliberately kept her distance from him.

Upon hearing Luo Qingcheng's question, Wan Qingchu sneered.

She had initially intended to trust Luo Qingcheng, but she never expected him to be so well-hidden.

Half disappointed and half heartless, she said, "What are you pretending for? This Demon-Attracting Charm can be marked with strands according to the amount of demonic power in a person's body. Judging from your appearance, you must be closely related to demons!"

Luo Qingcheng: ? ? ?

She, a demon?

I recognize each word individually, but when they're put together, it's so incomprehensible!

"Senior Sister Wan, are you sure there's nothing wrong with your so-called Demon-Attracting Incantation?"

"This Demon-Attracting Spell was personally crafted by my master using a wisp of demonic energy provided by the Sea Clan Chief. Do you think there's a problem with that?"

Luo Qingcheng: "...Don't you think your winning rate is too high?"

She looked around; the rest of the people had all been poisoned by Wan Chuan. "There are seven people here in total, and five of them have problems?"

Wanqing said firmly, "Who knows if you all agreed to meet here in this underground palace?"

Yes, that makes a lot of sense. If Luo Qingcheng hadn't truly known that she was innocent, she would have been convinced.

"Is it possible that you released the Demon-Attracting Spell because I told you that Uncle Ma and Mu Zi'en's behavior was unusual?"
