Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Gu Chen is right, Wu Zhao was indeed deliberately taken away by Bai Youran.

Because when she got close to Bai Youran, she sensed the faint power of the teleportation talisman on that skeletal arm.

So she deliberately approached Bai Youran to provoke her, but unexpectedly, Bai Youran actually fell for it.

And they took Wu Zhao away.

The only slight difference was that Wu Zhao was not taken to the territory of the Witch Saint Cult.

After the teleportation was completed, Wu Zhao found that he and Bai Youran had returned to the mass grave where they had previously attended the auction.

"You've come all the way back here, could it be that your Witch Saint Cult is located in this graveyard?" Wu Zhao asked calmly, while also taking a closer look at the dilapidated building that looked like it was about to collapse in the distance.

Bai Youran waved the severed skeletal arm and placed her palm on the ground of the mass grave.

A dense aura of yin energy and death flowed into her body through her arm.

Seeing her fluctuating expression, Wu Zhao chuckled, "So it's not the place of the Witch Saint Cult, it's your place..."

Bai Youran, I don't know where she learned this evil magic from, actually used her skeletal arm as a medium to absorb the yin energy here to strengthen her own power.

Unfortunately, this kind of unorthodox method cannot store power in the body for a long time, just like Wu Zhao cannot absorb too much of Gu Chen's purple energy at once.

So she ran back to regain her strength?

After waiting for a while, Bai Youran stood up, her skeletal arm making a crackling sound.

"Wu Zhao, you will die here today. Since you appeared, you have ruined many things for my lord. Although my lord has not said it, I know that my lord will not let you live!"

"Today, I will take your head to my lord, and he will surely be very pleased!"

A fanatical smile graced Bai Youran's face, and greed gleamed in her eyes as she looked at Wu Zhao.

“It’s not impossible for you to take me to see your so-called master now,” Wu Zhao said casually. “I won’t resist.”

After laughing twice, Bai Youran's expression changed: "Shut up! I will not let you see my master alive!"

It seems there's no point in trying to reason with him... Wu Zhao lowered his eyes in disappointment.

"I thought I could play with you a little longer, but it seems that opportunity is gone." She glanced at Bai Youran coldly. "Useless things have no value to me."

After waiting for so long, Wu Zhao was already feeling a chill.

"Phoenix, take care of her." With that, Wu Zhao turned and walked down the mountain.

Behind her, amidst the towering flames, the screams and wails gradually subsided.

She heard the wind whistling past her ears as a fiery red bird spread its wings and flew over her head.

"Master, let's go home."

……

The sky broke.

Wu Zhao appeared on the terrace outside Gu Chen's room.

The French windows were half-open, and a gentle breeze blew open the curtains, revealing warm-colored lights inside.

"You're back?" Gu Chen's slightly hoarse voice came through.

Wu Zhao paused for a moment, then went inside: "Hmm, nothing to show for it."

Noticing the bloody smell emanating from her, Gu Chen, sitting on the sofa, looked helpless.

"You killed someone, Zhao Zhao."

He was speaking in a declarative sentence.

Wu Zhao suddenly felt a little nervous, but then calmly asked, "Was the person I killed really a human?"

The evil spirits surrounding Bai Youran were so dark they almost enveloped her; she had merely eliminated one menace.

Moreover, even if she didn't make a move, the thick yin energy and death energy would still kill Bai Youran.

“Zhao Zhao…” Gu Chen pressed his temples, and finally said only, “Go back and rest.”

Hearing a hint of weariness in his voice, Wu Zhao's eyes widened: "What are you trying to say? That I'll suffer the consequences of my indiscriminate killing, or that I shouldn't have killed and brought trouble upon you?!"

For some reason, she suddenly felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

"That's not what I meant." Gu Chen stood up and walked to her side, trying to take her hand and calm her down.

Wu Zhao slapped his hand away and said coldly, "So what if I kill her? If Mr. Gu can't stand it, I'll just leave."

Watching her storm off in a huff, Gu Chen's expression was a mixture of helplessness and disappointment.

A few faint rumbles of thunder echoed in the dimly lit sky at dawn.

He gave it a cold glance, and then the thunder subsided.

Gu Chen said, "Get lost."

Heavenly Punishment: ...

After daybreak, Gu Chen did not see Wu Zhao.

I was only slightly relieved when Lan Yao told me that she was still inside. "After she got up, she told me that I... wanted to have a good talk with her."

Perhaps sensing something, Lan Yao asked somewhat nervously, "Patriarch, did you and Miss have a fight?"

"No," Gu Chen replied quickly, "it's just a misunderstanding."

He clenched his fist.

"Miss's temper flares up quickly, but it subsides just as fast. Perhaps she'll be fine after a good night's sleep," Lan Yao said softly. "Master, you..."

Gu Chen seemed to know what she was going to say, "I know, nothing will happen."

He was just too worried about Wu Zhao, that's why he said that...

Ji Weiyu and Helan Jue both knew that Wu Zhao had returned, but Lan Yao said that it might be inconvenient for the time being.

So the two of them stayed obediently in their own rooms, and even though they lived very close by, they never went out to see each other.

Wu Zhao locked himself in his room and fell into some kind of nightmare.

Amidst the raging flames, she watched as an outsider saw a familiar figure raise a hand and unleash countless enormous and malevolent demons.

Humanity struggled under the oppressive power of the demon god, only to be crushed and devoured.

Blood red stained the earth, and in the desolate landscape, only that dark figure walked.

Thunderclouds and lightning churned in the sky, carrying the power to destroy everything.

"Those who break the rules shall die!"

"Those who defy the Way of Heaven shall die!"

"Dead! Die! Die!"

Who is it...who is that...?

Wu Zhao felt a splitting headache, and his eyes were almost bleeding.

Everything seemed so familiar, yet utterly strange.

The terrifying thundercloud seemed to have noticed her as an outsider, and locked onto her in an instant.

"die--!"

A thunderclap exploded.

"Zhaozhao, wake up!"

"Well!"

Wu Zhao suddenly opened his eyes.

Before him were Gu Chen's dark eyes, which now seemed to shimmer with a faint golden light.

Unable to resist, he reached out and touched it, then murmured, "Junwu..."

"Zhaozhao, did you have a nightmare?" Gu Chen's voice rang in my ears.

Coming to his senses, Wu Zhao frowned: "I...had a nightmare?"

She closed her eyes, but found that she couldn't remember what dream she had just had.

"I can't remember." Wu Zhao shook his head. "How did you get in?"

Gu Chen pointed to the time: "You slept for too long, I knocked on the door but there was no response."

It's already 3 PM? Wu Zhao looked at the time. "No wonder I feel so hungry."

"Get up and eat. It's all your favorite food." Gu Chen straightened her collar, which had been askew from sleeping, and his fingertips traced Wu Zhao's collarbone.

Then Wu Zhao heard Gu Chen say, "I'm sorry, Zhao Zhao, I apologize to you."

what?

Wu Zhao was still a little sleepy. She looked up at him and asked, "What are you apologizing for?"

Lan Yao and Qing Yao, who were eavesdropping outside the door: ...
