Chapter 3249 Xiaoman
(He was a substitute) Now, that hope has been thrown into hell by that woman in red.
He didn't care about anything else; all he wanted was to rush in and find his son, even if it was just his remains.
"Homeowner!"
"No!"
The elders of the Ghost Clan were shocked and tried to stop them, but it was too late.
Mei Zhentian's figure, like a moth drawn to a flame, disappeared without hesitation into the deep darkness.
Hu Xiaoman watched this scene without any change in her expression.
Her already pale face, set against the backdrop of the dense ghostly aura behind her, revealed a breathtakingly fragmented beauty.
She stood straight, like a red lotus blooming in purgatory, fragile yet possessing a heart-stopping resilience.
She slowly raised her eyes, her icy gaze sweeping across the chaotic battlefield and landing on the Ghost Ancestor.
“Old man,” she said weakly, yet each word was as cold as ice.
"Your grandson and your son are both inside now."
"I wonder how long those two can hold out."
"Won't it soon turn into a pile of bones?"
"However, there are still safe places inside. For example, my master set up a formation inside."
"If they had gone to the formation set up by my master, they might not have died."
"If you want your grandson and son to live, then go inside and rescue my master."
"Otherwise, we can just wait to collect their corpses."
"Oh, no, maybe you won't even be able to collect the corpse."
Hu Xiaoman's words were like the sharpest knife, slowly torturing the nerves of the Ghost Ancestor.
The Ghost Ancestor's body trembled violently. In his single eye, resentment, killing intent, anger, fear... all sorts of emotions intertwined, ultimately turning into boundless helplessness.
He knew that what the woman in front of him was true.
He could feel the terrifying aura emanating from inside the Blood Demon Cave, an aura that posed a serious threat to his life.
He could also sense that after the ancient formation collapsed, the entire space was in an extremely unstable state.
Grandson...son...
His only bloodline, the future hope of his ghost clan, is all contained within it!
However, even if he goes in, he will surely face a near-death experience!
Hu Xiaoman looked at the distorted face of the Ghost Ancestor, still a little hesitant, and spoke again, her voice devoid of any warmth.
"Oh no, I think I heard Mei Qianxiao scream..."
"How pitiful, at such an old age, she still has to lose her son and grandson!"
The Ghost Ancestor stared intently at Hu Xiaoman, his eyes filled with a desire to devour her alive.
After a long while, he squeezed out a roar from deep in his throat, filled with endless killing intent and humiliation.
"You...you just wait!"
Having said that, he no longer hesitated.
A brilliant golden light shone from his body, and the tattered Vajra Shield reformed, firmly protecting him. He transformed into a golden streak of light, charging into the dark maw of the Blood Demon Cave with unwavering determination.
"Ancestor!"
Elder Ghost Eye, Elder Overlord Body, and Elder Serpent Scorpion exchanged glances, their faces filled with struggle.
But in the end, they gritted their teeth, activated their respective protective magic treasures, and rushed in, following closely behind the Ghost Ancestor.
The patriarch and the young master were both inside, and the patriarch had also gone in; they had no choice.
In the blink of an eye, the Ghost Clan's top combat force vanished into the Blood Demon Cave.
As Hu Xiaoman watched their disappearing figures, her body swayed, and another mouthful of blood welled up in her throat, which she forcibly swallowed back.
She slowly turned around, her cold eyes sweeping over the remaining cultivators from the Lei and Feng families, as well as other families.
Those cultivators from various families who had just been clamoring to kill her and were full of arrogance, felt a sudden chill the moment they met her gaze, and subconsciously took a half step back.
As they looked at the blood-soaked girl in red, at the abyss behind her that was constantly spewing ghostly energy, and at the terrifyingly calm eyes on her pale face, a thought simultaneously arose in their minds.
This woman is insane.
A madman who dared to use the heirs of the four great families as bargaining chips and who dared to drive the Ghost Ancestor into a desperate situation.
How dare she?
Lei Bao, the patriarch of the Lei family, a burly man with a fiery temper, also put away his amused expression, his brows furrowed and his expression solemn.
The Feng family patriarch continued to fan himself even without wind, but his movements were noticeably slower, and his effeminate eyes were filled with inquiry and apprehension.
“The seal on the Blood Demon Cave has been broken,” Hu Xiaoman’s voice was still weak, but it exuded an air of authority. “The ghosts inside could break out at any moment.”
She paused, her gaze lingering on Lei Bao and Wu Feng's faces.
"At that time, the border town of Ghost Domain will be transformed into a living hell, and your family and your relatives will not be able to escape."
Her voice wasn't loud, but it struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
The monks present looked at each other, their anger replaced by fear.
They weren't fools; they naturally understood that what Hu Xiaoman said was true.
The horror of the Blood Demon Cave is a fear etched into the very bones of every cultivator in the Ghost Realm's border cities.
Hu Xiaoman's gaze finally settled on Lei Bao and Wu Feng. "Why aren't you taking people here to set up a protective barrier to guard the cave entrance?"
"If my master is rescued, my master and I will naturally seal this formation."
"If my master dies, then let the entire Ghost Border City be buried with him!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Bao raised an eyebrow. He was known for his fiery temper, and being ordered around like this made him very unhappy.
He was about to say something when Wufeng gently nudged him with his fan.
Wu Feng shook his head slightly at him, then stepped forward, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to Hu Xiaoman, and showed a kind smile on his face.
“What this young lady says is absolutely right. It is our duty to protect the border city of the Ghost Realm.”
He turned to look at the crowd behind him, raising his voice slightly: "Everyone, this concerns the safety of the Ghost Domain Border City. I urge you to put aside past grievances and work together to set up a protective barrier here, just in case!"
Wu Feng is known as the strategist of the Ghost Domain Border City, and his words carry great weight.
Upon hearing this, everyone responded enthusiastically.
"Patriarch Feng is right!"
"Quickly, everyone, let's get started!"
Seeing this, Lei Bao snorted and said no more. He waved his hand and shouted, "Lei family disciples, listen to my command! Set up the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Formation!"
In an instant, spiritual light flickered in front of the Blood Demon Cave, and cultivators from various families unleashed their best skills, activating their spiritual power.
One after another, different colored restrictions rose from the ground, layer upon layer, and soon formed a thick light curtain at the cave entrance, temporarily suppressing the surging ghostly energy.
Hu Xiaoman nodded in satisfaction as she watched this scene.
She used everyone.
The Ghost Clan are the vanguard and the meat shield!
These people are substitutes!
She knew perfectly well that her master had entered the Blood Demon Cave to protect the small, dilapidated cave for the sake of the Ghost Domain Border City and the safety of the world.
But these people are ungrateful and actually think it's their due!
When it comes to saving their master, they naturally cannot remain unscathed.
