Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

The child's face had some black stains that looked like mud.

What a special child.

There was a familiar aura about him that made Wu Zhao feel very comfortable.

Seemingly sensing Wu Zhao's gaze, he shrank back and hid behind Tao Yueran.

"what happened?"

Sensing the commotion behind her, Tao Yueran turned around.

She smiled slightly upon seeing the little boy.

Tao Yueran raised her hand to wipe the dirt off his face and opened a new bottle of mineral water.

"Xiao Xuan, drink some water first, drink slowly, okay?"

She's been locked up with these children for the past few days and hasn't eaten much.

Every two days, someone would bring them food, but the amount of steamed buns and water was far from enough for so many people.

Over the past two weeks, Tao Yueran has only managed to drink a little water.

The rest was left to the children and the two injured teachers.

But it's ultimately a drop in the ocean.

If Wu Zhao hadn't come to their rescue today, Tao Yueran was afraid the children wouldn't have been able to hold on.

The children were very well-behaved, quietly sipping their water.

Wu Xingyun felt a little reluctant and took out a soft cake.

I carefully tore it open and fed them a little.

"Don't eat too much."

Tao Yueran offered a reminder.

The child hasn't eaten for many days, and their stomach is very sensitive.

She was very worried that the children would have health problems.

Wu Xingyun naturally understood, and he nodded.

"Go back to the courtyard in a little while, there's some hot porridge that's been cooked."

"Let's go back first; there shouldn't be anyone else here."

Wu Zhao withdrew his gaze and turned to speak.

A gentle breeze brushed past her ear.

"Master, there's a mass grave behind the cowshed..."

Upon hearing Barbatos's voice, Wu Zhao's eyes darkened.

"how many people?"

She lowered her voice, avoiding Tao Yueran and the children around her.

Seeing her movements, Wu Xingyun stood up and shouted something.

"Alright, now that everything's alright, I'll take you back first."

Tao Yueran also drank some water and ate a piece of bread, and then gave some food to another female teacher next to her.

Feeling that she had regained some of her strength, she stood up.

"Okay, let's get out of here quickly."

The other female teacher nodded quickly as well.

"Yes, let's get out of here quickly. We can't stand this awful place any longer..."

She held the hands of two children and followed closely behind Wu Xingyun.

After they left, Wu Zhao allowed Barbatos to appear.

"how?"

Barbatos shook his head.

"There are too many to tell in a short time."

Even he, a demon god, couldn't help but gasp at the sight of the mass grave.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that anyone could be a mass grave.

Moreover, the bones inside were scattered in pieces, some with blood, flesh, and hair, making it look quite horrifying.

"Did you find anything else?"

Since the Witch Saint Cult could send a skeleton to appear here, they probably have some other plans.

Barbatos frowned and thought for a moment.

"Nothing else was found, but... there's no yin energy in this mass grave."

This puzzled Barbatos greatly.

Logically speaking, such a large burial pit should have a considerable amount of resentment and yin energy.

But when he went over just now, if it weren't for the smell attracting him...

It was so clean there that it was almost unnoticeable.

"I'm still too late..."

Wu Zhao spoke in a deep voice.

It seems those people discovered it beforehand and then eliminated or took away the yin energy and resentment.

The skeleton is probably just staying here to buy time.

"Leave first, and hand it over to the garrison when we get back to the capital."

Since there is no more yin energy or resentment, it is best to hand it over to the garrison.

"Yes, my lord."

Barbatos followed behind her, and the two of them returned to the courtyard one after the other.

The courtyard is quite lively right now.

Because two more wounded soldiers and a bunch of children arrived, the four bodyguards had no choice but to set up the tent in the courtyard instead of the main room.

After cleaning the room a bit, I laid out a few soft air mattresses.

The children, who had been living in fear and barely had any rest, quickly huddled together on their mattresses and fell asleep.

Tao Yueran and another female teacher named Li Yan, who were watching over the child, also fell asleep shortly afterward.

After carefully covering them with blankets, Huo Weiwei and Zhao Lan tiptoed out.

Inside a tent in the courtyard, two bodyguards were bandaging the wounds of an injured person.

Fortunately, they were all former soldiers, so they remained calm and composed even when dealing with such a frightening wound.

The other two bodyguards were watching the food cooking in the pot by the fire, while Phoenix was perched on the fence, observing his surroundings.

Upon seeing Wu Zhao return, he quickly flapped his wings and flew over.

"Master, you are back!"

He nuzzled Wu Zhao's neck with his furry head.

Wu Zhao hummed in agreement.

"How are those people?"

She inquired about the injured person.

Phoenix replied in a relaxed tone, "Although they lost a lot of blood, they have survived for now, but... both of them have broken bones, and it may be difficult for them to fully recover."

"The female teacher said that one of the two people was the driver and the other was arranged by the principal to accompany them. If it weren't for these two people, they probably wouldn't have been able to wait for us."

Wu Zhao naturally knew that the two men were probably injured by the villagers while protecting them.

"We'll go back as soon as their injuries stabilize."

Wu Zhao said.

"Then we'll have to wait a few days."

Phoenix thought about it.

"My bones have just been set, so I can't move them much right now. Also, the journey through Shanghai has been quite bumpy, so it's not good to walk on the injured area right now."

Wu Zhao took out his phone and looked at it. The signal was intermittent, making it difficult to communicate with the outside world.

She thought about it.

"Fine, if that's the case, we'll just wait a few days."

She had inadvertently summoned too many demons, and the Heavenly Tribulation had already targeted her.

If I were to randomly open up space and travel through it at this moment, the lightning would probably strike me down the moment I made my move.

"My lord, if you are worried, you may allow me to take the men and leave first."

Barbatos spoke behind her.

"No need, Phoenix."

Wu Zhao patted Phoenix's head.

"Go back first and tell Gu Chen for me..."

Phoenix was terrified of Gu Chen, but he could not disobey Wu Zhao's orders.

I had no choice but to suppress my fear and agree.

"Good host."

He looked up at Wu Zhao: "What message does Master want me to take back?"

Ok……

Wu Zhao hesitated for a moment before organizing his thoughts.

She was a little worried about Gu Chen's thoughts, but she didn't want to make a decision on her own.

Although this is her own business, it's better to talk to him about it.

"Could you ask Gu Chen for me?"

"Just tell me, is he willing or not..."

"What about raising a child?"

"And me."
