Chapter 640 Heading Towards the Voodoo Cult's Headquarters
Seeing his men bowing respectfully to the golden phantom, Yang Mushan's face turned ashen, and he shouted sternly.
"Get up, all of you! How dare you bow to an imposter? Do you even respect the Queen Bee?"
"Elder Yang, you're wrong! Is there anything wrong with us kneeling before Lord Gu Zi?"
The sea clan chief slowly straightened up and looked at Yang Mushan with a calm expression.
"What kind of Gu poison? This is just a fake..."
Su Ling Shuang interrupted the other person before they could finish speaking.
"Yang Mushan, didn't you just test it with the Lustful Heart Gu? The facts are right in front of you, do you still want to deny it?"
Yang Mushan was so choked by the other party that he felt a lump in his throat, his face flushed red. Then he suddenly flung his sleeves and roared at his men around him, his voice fierce but his heart weak.
"Now that the ceremony is over, what are you all standing around for?! If you delay the appointed time and the sect leader blames you, who among you can bear the consequences?"
After saying this, the other party gestured for everyone to dismount and walk with him, while the Sea Clan Chief stepped forward and pointed at Bai Yue, suggesting something to him.
"Elder Yang, it's best to keep this woman locked up in the carriage and not let her see anyone."
"why?"
Just as Yang Mushan was about to refuse, the Sea Clan Chief leaned forward and whispered something.
"After all, she carries a Gu poison. If she shows it to the followers on the way back to the main altar, it might shake their morale."
The sea clan chief made this suggestion entirely because he couldn't bear to let everyone see Bai Yue wearing shackles. Yang Mushan looked at the airtight space and suddenly chuckled.
“That’s right, that’s right. How can we let such a demon show her face in public and bewitch people? I will personally escort her away…”
Before Yang Mushan could utter the word "she," Su Lingshuang preemptively gave instructions to Yuwen Yi and Lu Wangyou.
"You two are responsible for taking this woman upstairs, and you must keep a close watch on her!"
"Yes!"
This suggestion suited their tastes perfectly, so they immediately stepped forward, each grabbing Bai Yue from either side, and escorted her onto the carriage.
Yang Mushan wanted to follow, but Hua Muan and Ling Xuzi sat on the carriage shaft, blocking the carriage door.
"Elder Yang, the sect leader's task for you should be to safely deliver us to her, right? If that's the case, what are you waiting for? Lead the way!"
Ruoxu naturally saw through Yang Mushan's little schemes, so he put on the airs of a young sect leader and said in a deep voice.
"let's go!"
Faced with the obstruction of the crowd, Yang Mushan could only snort in resentment. Then the team set off again, heading deeper into the headquarters of the Voodoo Cult.
Inside the carriage, Yuwen Yi was holding Bai Yue's hand, the one that had just touched the "Lustful Heart Gu," and asked urgently in a low voice.
"Wife! Did that damned 'Lustful Heart Gu' really not harm you? If you were really affected, and you need... well, you know... to get the antidote, I'll be there anytime..."
Before he could even utter a word, he received a solid slap on the head from Yuwen Ze!
"Hey, Tianle's still here, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Yuwen Ze glared at him irritably, then pointed at Yuwen Tianle, who was looking at them curiously.
Yuwen Yi then realized that he had almost spoken recklessly in front of the child in his haste, and he shut his mouth in embarrassment, but still held Bai Yue's hand and gently stroked it.
"Alright, stop touching me, let's get down to business!"
Yuwen Ze slapped Yuwen Yi's hand away, then whispered to Bai Yue, "I'm going to introduce you to Bai Yue."
"Goddess, now that we're here, let me give you a brief introduction to the specific environment of the Voodoo Cult."
He paused and continued.
"This outer area may look like an ordinary forest, but it is actually full of dangers. The Voodoo Cult has cultivated and released countless spiders, centipedes, scorpions, snakes and other venomous creatures here. If an intruder does not carry a specially made sachet, he will be attacked immediately."
"Uh, poison..."
Yuwen Yi subconsciously moved closer to Bai Yue, as if it would make him feel safer, while Yuwen Ze glanced at him before continuing his introduction.
"After passing through this 'forest of poisonous creatures,' further in, you will pass through a vast 'swamp,' where poisonous miasma constantly rises. If you are exposed to it for too long, you will experience dizziness, vomiting, and diarrhea at best, and at worst, your lungs and internal organs will be corroded, your whole body will rot, and you will die."
"so smart?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Wangyou frowned and then looked at Yuwen Ze and asked.
"Then how did you escape from a place like this back then?"
When the past was mentioned, Yuwen Ze's eyes suddenly dimmed, and deep pain and self-blame appeared on his face.
“Aino knew the terrain like the back of her hand. She led me, avoiding all the patrols and traps, until we reached the relatively safe outskirts. At that point, I begged Aino to come with me, but she drugged me and left a letter…”
The other person stopped talking after that point, and after a long while, they looked up and spoke in a dry voice.
“Aino said in her letter that she is a saint, and her people and responsibilities are here. If she leaves with me, the Queen Bee's wrath will fall on our children…”
As Yuwen Ze spoke, he patted Yuwen Tianle's head, then said with a look of melancholy.
"I knew I couldn't rescue Ayino on my own, so I rushed back to Feiyun Manor to ask my parents for help. But all I said was that I had a child outside, and my mother beat me half to death..."
As soon as the other person finished speaking, Yuwen Yi nodded.
"Yes, if my father and I hadn't stopped her, my mother would have crippled my older brother's martial arts. Later, my older brother said that the child's mother was a saintess of the Voodoo Cult, so my mother locked him up in confinement. No matter how much my father and I pleaded, she wouldn't let my older brother out!"
After Yuwen Yi finished speaking, the carriage fell silent. Yuwen Tianle tugged at Yuwen Ze's sleeve with her small hand and called out softly.
"Father, does Grandma really hate Mother that much?"
"No, Tianle, Grandma just can't accept what Father did for the time being. If she didn't like your mother, why would she allow Father to come and pick her up?"
Yuwen Ze smiled and explained to Yuwen Tianle, then looked at Bai Yue with pleading in his eyes.
"Goddess, Aino has sacrificed so much for me and for Tianle. This time, please, no matter what, rescue her!"
"Brother, don't worry, my wife is a goddess descended from heaven, she will definitely be able to rescue my sister-in-law."
As soon as Yuwen Yi finished speaking, a chilling rustling and hissing sound rang out all around.
