Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

One hour ago. The Gu Family Villa.

Just as Lan Yao left to get into his car, Gu Chen came out.

Seeing Wu Zhao frowning as he stared at his phone, he asked, "What happened? Is it something troublesome?"

“Hmm…” Wu Zhao remained noncommittal, only saying, “This Nie Wu from the Nie family is quite interesting. I need to confirm something.”

Are she the same person as the skeleton that appeared in Shen Jiaojiao's hospital room?

Looking up at Gu Chen, Wu Zhao said, "I have to go out for a bit and will probably be back a little late. Um... you don't have to wait for me to eat, I'll be back as soon as possible."

After saying that, Wu Zhao was about to leave when Gu Chen grabbed her arm.

"What's wrong?" Wu Zhao turned to look at him in surprise.

Gu Chen's hand slowly slid down and then grasped Wu Zhao's hand.

Sensing the aura emanating from him, Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and remained silent.

How did this person develop such a sense of being a tool so quickly?

"Since we've agreed, then... Zhao Zhao, would you like to try to recover your strength even faster?" Gu Chen asked softly, a noticeable smile curving his thin lips.

On his handsome face, an emotion that was hard to ignore surfaced in his deep eyes.

Wu Zhao's gaze involuntarily fell on his lips, as if she were bewitched.

She raised her hand and grabbed Gu Chen's collar, pulling him down.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Her slightly cool lips pressed against his warm, soft lips.

The next second, Wu Zhao was tightly hugged by him, and she uncontrollably fell into his arms.

The scorching heat hit us.

Wu Zhao stared wide-eyed: How dare you, mortal! You're too presumptuous!

……

Wu Zhao, trapped in the cold prison, shook his head, trying to shake off the out-of-control kiss from before.

If it weren't for the fact that Gu Chen gave her so much purple energy that could briefly summon Han Yu to the mortal world, she wouldn't have been so easily subdued by him!

Turning the ring on his hand, Wu Zhao then remembered that there were two unlucky little devils behind him.

“Phoenix, take these two with you!” she said, raising her hand.

A clear bird song came from outside the door, followed by a red shadow that flashed by and then disappeared.

Wu Xingyun and Wu Nini, who were already somewhat numb from the cold, disappeared from the spot.

Wu Zhao looked at Wu Liufeng in the center and sighed: "It seems that this generation of the Wu family's Grand Master of Fate... is somewhat unworthy of the title."

Wu Liufeng, who was also frozen in place by the ice, seemed to sense something and bit his lip hard.

The blood was instantly absorbed by Piccolo, and the crimson color flowed across Piccolo's body.

The next second, a mysterious flute melody resounded in the cold prison.

Before Nie Wu could react after breaking free of the ice, she discovered that her witchcraft had suddenly stopped working.

The connection between the four puppets and her was suddenly severed, and they all turned around and pounced on her at the same time!

"Heh, you want to kill me? Don't even think about it!" Nie Wu's face darkened, and she clenched her fists. "Uncontrollable trash doesn't deserve to exist!"

The finger bones in her hand emitted a dark light, and the four puppets exploded on the spot before they could even touch her.

Splattered chunks of flesh and blood stained her face, making it look especially horrifying.

Wu Liufeng took a breath and put down the short flute in his hand.

His face was very pale, and his voice was somewhat hoarse.

“Miss Nie, I respect that you were once a member of the Nie family and that you are related to my Nini... but you tricked her into coming here, wanting to undermine her. I'm sorry, I won't let that happen.”

Nie Wu sneered, her expression filled with madness: "Your Wu family has kept the fact that Wu Nini has the Resurrection Bone a secret so well! No wonder you don't let her learn mystical arts, you're afraid that her Resurrection Bone will be coveted, right?"

“If the White Envoy hadn’t told me about this, I wouldn’t have been able to think of a way to resurrect Eric. Now, the key to my lover’s resurrection lies here, and I absolutely cannot let this opportunity slip away!”

Wu Nini actually possesses the Resurrection Bone? Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised. She had seen Wu Nini so many times, how come she had never sensed the aura of the Resurrection Bone from her?

"...Nini's matter is a secret of the Wu family. How did you know?" Wu Liufeng's face was extremely grim. He could only think that there was a traitor within the Wu family. "The seal on the Resurrection Bone was inherited from the ancestral shrine. It was used by the Wu family's ancestor, the Divine Witch, and there's absolutely no way anyone could have discovered it!"

Her sealing technique? Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow. It seems the Wu family ancestral shrine holds many secrets...

Nie Wu smiled sinisterly and said, "The Holy Envoy knows far more than you imagine. I won't be tricked into revealing anything! Even if I don't get the Resurrection Bone today... you know very well what will happen to your Wu family once this news gets out, right?"

"Give me the Resurrection Bone, or fight against everyone who wants it. That should be an easy choice, right?"

Her expression was smug, as if she was certain that Wu Liufeng wouldn't offend the entire mystical arts circle because of one person.

Wu Zhao stared at Nie Wu and finally understood why she had returned to China.

...Indeed, it was for her lover.

The reborn bone... rebirth, rebirth, it's more like a resurrection.

Those who possess this bone are essentially given a second life. As long as the spine remains intact, they can be resurrected from the brink of death.

It is a blessing bestowed by Heaven, hidden within the spine.

“It seems that Junwu… still protected the Wu family after all…” Wu Zhao’s eyes darkened. “I didn’t guard the gate for nothing…”

She sighed.

She was imprisoned in the underworld for three thousand years, but then the witch family was blessed with a resurrection.

Is this a case of giving a slap on the wrist and then offering a sweet treat?

Despite the chilling environment, Nie Wu refused to give up, protected by the black light emanating from her finger bones.

“Wu Liufeng, I don’t care where you found your helpers. Even if you trap me here, I still have a way to get the news about the Resurrection Bone out.”

"She's just a younger sister. You don't want to drag the whole family down with you, do you?"

Wu Liufeng clenched his fists in silence, and Wu Zhao could feel him trembling.

She waited quietly for something, and even the falling snowflakes began to slow down.

“Nie Wu, the Rebirth Bone was bestowed upon the Wu family by the Heavenly Dao.” Wu Liufeng took a breath. “Apart from the Wu family’s bloodline, even if outsiders obtain the Rebirth Bone, it will not have the original effect.”

He looked up at Nie Wu and said, "However, even if it has that effect, I would never agree to give Ni Ni to you."

"The Wu family motto states that those who betray the family are not worthy of being called members of the Wu family."

Wu Zhao curled her lips into a smile.

A hurricane suddenly swept through the silent space, and the ice and snow became increasingly violent as the wind blew.

As if the entire space had been frozen, cracks appeared around Nie Wu.

Several black figures crashed to the ground as the crack opened.

Nie Wu stared wide-eyed in disbelief as all the puppets she had hidden in her spatial dimension were pulled out.

"Are they the ones you mentioned who deliver messages?" Wu Zhao asked, beckoning with her raised hand.

The ice and snow instantly enveloped the black puppets, then shattered into pieces of ice flowers under Nie Wu's gaze.

Knowing her purpose, Wu Zhao no longer wanted to deal with her.

"I forgot to mention, this is hell. Even if you were a puppet, your messages wouldn't get out here."

"Don't bring out that skeleton of yours and embarrass yourself."

Wu Zhao's voice was firm and resounding, filled with indifference and disdain.

"In this hell, I'm the one who calls the shots!"
