"The whole process will last three days. Aside from bringing the living sacrifice, don't disturb me." He even specifically emphasized this, probably because he didn't understand.

The two were still talking when they heard a crisp sound of glass breaking, and then shards of glass spread into the sky, to the point that they were almost invisible.

"This is...?" Huang Nan hesitated for a moment.

"The evil tide has arrived too." Old Man Bai Feng glanced at the sky, which was now shrouded in black and red mist, with a faint hint of deep purple.

"It would be best to capture those two girls surnamed Bai before then. They are sure to be attractive to Lady Bai Feng."

The moment the old man Bai Feng turned around, he seemed to dissipate as lightly as a wisp of smoke.

His figure seemed to vanish right before Huang Nan's eyes.

Huang Nan was left standing alone in the temple, gazing at the statue of Bai Feng Niangniang, his expression shifting between anger and uncertainty.

These chapters are just a transition; after that, it'll be all about killing! I'll try to update four chapters a day for the next few days. If you have any suggestions about the plot, please feel free to let me know! QWQ

I'm so sleepy by the last chapter every day, I feel like I need to control my time.

Volume 1: Chapter 80, Passing By

Pei Huan sat in the room, her long hair slightly disheveled.

She was a little anxious, mainly because of the current situation in Bai Fengcheng.

She likes to play the fool, but in the current situation, she's finding it hard to calm down.

The raging tide is coming.

This term, which only exists in horror stories or legends, was something she had heard her elders mention when she was little, and they even used it to scare her.

At that time, she was young and didn't pay much attention to what her elders said. But as she got older, started going out with the caravan, and even started to be in charge of a caravan on her own, she realized just how scary this thing really was.

For ordinary people, a violent tide is basically an unsolvable problem; there is no way to deal with it except to escape.

withstand?

How to resist it? It's like a plague; you don't know when you'll get infected, and then it manifests within a few days, which basically means death.

When ordinary people face a raging tide, there is only one way to escape: to flee. There is no other way.

The evil tide will arrive the day after tomorrow, but this arrival refers to the monsters that have been infected.

She wanted to run away, but the family's convoy was stuck here and couldn't get out at all.

I can't just run away by myself, can I?

More than these things, Pei Huan was curious about what the Bai Fengcheng government was thinking. Surely they weren't really hoping that their Bai Feng Niangniang would come to their rescue?

Pei Huan knew that this Lady Bai Feng hadn't appeared for many years, most likely because the temple's incense offerings had indeed declined.

She had to find a way to get the convoy out of the city...

There's also Bai Qian and the others. Pei Huan is very confident in Bai Qian's strength, but the evil tide can't be dealt with by force alone. This kind of invisible thing is like a plague, and it's not something that humans can solve.

Frustrated, Pei Huan scratched his hair a couple of times, unable to think of any solution. These corrupt officials were completely clueless about what they were supposed to do; no wonder so many people were saying that the Great Liang was doomed.

There was a careful knock on the door twice, and a woman wearing a cloth skirt walked in.

"Miss, it seems there's been some trouble with the convoy. Would you like to go take a look?" the woman said softly after entering.

Pei Huan smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll go right away. What's the problem?"

"I'm not sure, Master Ma just sent someone over to tell me," the woman replied, shaking her head.

"Okay, I'll head over there." Pei Huan tidied her hair and nodded.

The caravan was stationed on an open space east of Baifeng City, which was inside the city walls. However, there were few people living there. She had previously discovered that there were many open spaces and abandoned areas in Baifeng City. In fact, this place was relatively close to Bai Qian and the others' residence.

Pei Huan paused, gazing at the scene before her, her delicate brows furrowing unconsciously.

This convoy is delivering jade. The jade from Huiwu will be transported to the county town. These jade pieces are very delicate and must be handled carefully to prevent them from being accidentally dropped or damaged.

In sight, jade stones were scattered all over the ground, and the thugs from the convoy were also lying haphazardly on the ground.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Lin quickly went over and touched it a few times, then breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"They're alright, they just fainted," he shouted to Pei Huan.

Pei Huan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

"Is anyone still awake? Ask them what happened here." That's what Pei Huan wanted to do.

But as two figures stepped down from the carriage, she stopped speaking.

Three figures dressed in white stepped down from the carriage.

Two of them were wearing white phoenix masks that Pei Huan was very familiar with, and the other had a slightly gloomy face with triangular eyes that gave people an uncomfortable feeling. He was holding a small flag in his hand.

Pei Huan immediately realized it was someone from the Huang family. She had been on guard against this all along, after all, they had lost someone here.

Zhao Lin stepped forward to protect the two of them.

Pei Huan looked at the three people opposite him, opened her mouth as if to say something.

She caught a glimpse of a dark red rising in the sky, an eerie blackish-red that almost completely obscured the sun and reflected the scene beside the convoy.

Suddenly, a gray-clad figure came into view, slowly standing up.

Pei Huan knew him; he was also a thug in the caravan, surnamed Cui, and seemed to have a penchant for gambling.

Once the first figure appeared, a second one followed.

Three figures stood up from the ground in succession.

Two of the figures walked towards the three members of the Huang family opposite them, while the remaining person walked towards Pei Huan.

Their steps were unsteady, as if they were drunk.

Pei Huan was taken aback when she saw this scene.

I initially thought it was the Huang family who did it, but then I immediately realized what had happened.

It is a wicked tide, or perhaps it should now be called a delusional person.

"Uncle Zhao, let's go." Without even considering why they had arrived so quickly, she made the decision almost instantly and said to Zhao Lin.

He tried to run away by pulling on the woman in the cloth dress next to him, but found that the woman's hand was as if it were made of iron and wouldn't budge.

Pei Huan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the woman opposite him who was in charge of his daily life.

All I could see were those empty, lifeless eyes.

She held Pei Huan's hand, and Pei Huan felt as if she were pulling a mountain; he couldn't move at all.

Beneath the woman's skin, it looked as if insects were crawling indistinctly, moving slowly.

Slowly tearing open the woman's skin, twisting her body.

Pei Huan felt a chill run down her spine, and a nameless fear seeped into her heart.

She looked at Pei Huan and gripped his hand tightly.

Zhao Lin seemed to sense what was happening behind him and struck out with his palm.

He knocked the woman to the ground.

Just as Zhao Lin was about to call Pei Huan to leave, two figures in gray rushed forward.

Upon seeing this, Pei Huan pursed her lips slightly and looked around in slight panic.

As a result, they found that they had no solutions.

The thugs from the convoy were all lying on the ground, and even if they were still alive, they would most likely be useless.

Subconsciously, he thought of leaving this place first, since it was relatively close to where Bai Qian and the others lived, and he might be able to make it in time.

When I turned around, intending to run in that direction...

On the street, the black-haired girl stood quietly, the dark red light illuminating her delicate face and white clothes.

He was intently eating a sesame seed cake, holding a paper bag of sesame seed cakes in his hand.

As if noticing Pei Huan's gaze, she tilted her head and turned around, her deep eyes looking at Pei Huan.

He ate the remaining half of the sesame seed cake in small bites, then licked the oil stains off his fair and translucent fingers.

She and Pei Huan exchanged a glance, then she took out a sesame seed cake from the paper bag, as if to hand it to Pei Huan. But after thinking for a moment, she took it back, took another bite, and continued eating.

Pei Huan stopped in her tracks, ignoring the approaching footsteps behind her.

My heart immediately sank.

Volume 1: Chapter 81, I'm glad I have it.

Bai Qian originally planned to go straight back, but Bai Yao asked her to buy some food to eat at home. After eating, she would go to Pei Huan to discuss what to do next.

Although a bad tide was coming, the city was not affected. Rice shops and noodle shops remained open as usual, probably because ordinary people had no concept of what a bad tide was.

Furthermore, the news was contained, so it probably didn't spread.

While Bai Qian was on her way, she was thinking about whether she should go back and buy some more sesame cakes.

She had been eating as she walked, and of the more than ten sesame cakes she bought, only five remained. There was still some distance to go before she got home, and if she continued walking, she would probably only have two left by the time she got back.

It just so happens that I and Bai Yao each have a sesame seed cake.

However, Bai Yao didn't have enough copper coins for him. Even if he wanted to buy something, he should go home and get some more money first.

Then, when I got to this side, I came across this scene.

Looking at the scene over the convoy, he first glanced at the two white-clad people, and then noticed three people who were clearly not quite right.

It was a coincidence, but I had noticed something was off about the atmosphere here when I was on the way.

Pei Huan paused for a moment as the figure behind her lunged at her.

The woman's skin had been solidified into a dark red, gelatinous substance, and her body had swelled to about half its original size.

Pei Huan could clearly sense the chilling malice emanating from the figure behind her.

She didn't look back.

Bai Qian had appeared in front of her without her noticing. She glanced at Pei Huan quietly and placed the paper bag she was carrying into her arms.

He walked towards the woman's figure.

A slender, white palm touched out.

The black and red figure stopped in its tracks, its body stiffening for a moment.

Bai Qian blocked the outstretched hand with her oily fingers, and the black and red things seemed to be alive, crawling towards Bai Qian.

The aura of malice surged straight towards Bai Qian.

Bai Qian glanced at these things quietly, without even making a move, but the next second they all exploded.

The dark red figure slumped down.

Bai Qian turned around, her figure pausing.

She furrowed her brows slightly, sensing a sudden surge of irritation that had inexplicably risen in her heart, but it didn't seem to bother her much.

[Defeat [Delusion (D)] to obtain a wisp of delusional thought.]

The message that came through made Bai Qian raise her eyebrows slightly.

Delusional objects and delusional thoughts? This is information I've never heard of before, so it means these things are neither eerie nor demonic?

The woman's figure fell to the ground.

Bai Qian was still pondering what this delusion was for.

The two figures that were walking towards the three people turned around at the same time as the woman fell.

Look towards Bai Qian.

At this moment, just like the woman from before, the blackish-red gelatinous substance on their bodies slowly oozed from their flesh and blood, adorning their forms.

Bai Qian glanced at them, took a step forward, and walked up to the two of them.

He casually waved his sleeve twice.
