Chapter 730: Chapter 730 - 687: Do You Want to Destroy Wangwu Mountain?
As soon as Ji Youzhi spoke, Yun Kuo recklessly leaped off Xiaoqing’s back.
He fiercely thrust his sword towards the figure within the Black Mist.
However, the moment his sword touched the Black Mist, a great force sent him flying, instantaneously injuring his internal organs!
Ji Youzhi, seeing this, exclaimed in alarm, "Cousin!"
Xiaosuisui also cried out in alarm.
"Uncle Yun Kuo!"
Both large and small figures attacked the Black Mist simultaneously, yet they suffered the same fate as Yun Kuo; they were repulsed by a strong force that also injured their internal organs.
Both Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi had looks of terror in their eyes. Was this the power of a god? If even a puppet that hadn’t completely been possessed by the Witch God was so formidable, then what kind of existence would the Witch God, sealed by the Ancestor, be once it broke free from the seal? What could they, mere mortals, do then?
The secret his maternal grandfather had told him on his deathbed flashed through Ji Youzhi’s mind, and a wave of panic washed over him.
He struggled to his feet, gripping his longsword tightly. He fiercely gathered his Qi again and slashed at the Black Mist!
But the result was the same. He was thrown back again, violently spitting out a mouthful of blood, and could no longer get up.
Xiaosuisui, seeing this, quickly tossed him an Elixir and urged, "Seventh Uncle, quickly take the Elixir! We must leave here immediately!"
If they couldn’t win, they could only flee.
Although Xiaosuisui was still three months shy of her fifth birthday, she had encountered so many things recently that her intelligence was soaring.
She fed Elixirs to both Yun Kuo and Ji Youzhi, then shouted, "Xiaoqing, get us out of here quickly!" Xiaoqing acted at once, but it was already too late.
Mr. Wu’s sacrificial ritual was nearing its culmination.
"Trying to leave? You’re still too naive!"
At this point, the Black Mist around Mr. Wu was becoming thicker, denser, and more solid.
The solidified Black Mist instantly formed a large circle, creating a vast Black Mist dome that directly blocked Xiaoqing’s escape route with Xiaosuisui and the others.
"Princess of Great Han, favored one of the Celestial Dao! This venerable one expended so much effort yet failed to kill you.
"I never thought you’d walk right into my hands. Today, this place shall be your grave!"
At this point, Mr. Wu had now completely become a swirling mass of Black Mist, his voice echoing from all directions.
Even in broad daylight, they felt an eerie, terrifying chill.
"You claim you’ve always wanted my Suisui dead. This implies you’ve known of my Suisui’s existence for a long time.
"And you’ve continually tried to bring about my Suisui’s death. In that case, I have a few questions for you!"
Meanwhile, Xiaoqing was desperately ramming the dome Mr. Wu had created.
Ji Youzhi, wanting to buy her more time, took the chance to speak.
"What do you want to ask?
"I may not necessarily answer you!"
Mr. Wu had now completely transformed into a mass of Black Mist. This signified that the puppet’s body had been utterly sacrificed; the Black Mist was now a consciousness controlled by the Great Wizard from thousands of miles away.
"Six months ago, my Suisui was nearly beaten to death and buried alive! Was that your doing?"
The moment Ji Youzhi asked this, Xiaosuisui’s eyes flew wide open, and she stared at the Black Mist as if her gaze could set it ablaze!
"HA HA HA! I wondered what you were going to ask!
"So it’s about that.
"That matter is hardly a secret anymore."
"So it was you!"
Ji Youzhi gritted his teeth. After Suisui’s incident, his eldest brother, sister-in-law, and fourth brother had gone to inspect the mass grave.
It was said that after his eldest brother saw the full extent of the burial pit, he began to suspect that everything Suisui had suddenly suffered at the Li Family was premeditated.
Their subsequent investigations pointed everything towards this Great Wizard from Nanjiang. This suspicion—that someone from Nanjiang wanted Suisui dead—became all the more certain, especially after the incident where the Great Wizard from Nanjiang attempted to destroy the Dragon Vein of Great Han to channel its luck to Nanjiang.
However, hearing this confirmation from Mr. Wu’s own mouth, Ji Youzhi was truly incensed. A palpable killing intent erupted from him. He raised his sword, wanting to charge forward again, but his injuries were too severe; he couldn’t move an inch.
"Xiaosuisui is such a young child! What enmity or grievance could she possibly have with you people?"
