I aimed my last words purely as sarcasm towards Zhu Ziyan.

As the old saying goes, "A whore is heartless, an actor is unrighteous," meaning that those who work in those professions, seeing so many people come and go, eventually lose track of who is being sincere and who is being fake.

Actors pledge eternal love in one play today and act intimately with someone else in another tomorrow, making it difficult for them to distinguish whether they are in character or not.

Zhu Ziyan gritted her teeth and said, "Li Po, you've said so much, just wanting me to go out. I won't fall for your tricks. I've remembered today's events. You just wait."

As Zhu Ziyan spoke, Ye Yang silently gripped the hilt of his sword.

I gently pressed down on Ye Yang's wrist and shook my head. Ye Yang inexplicably lowered Cold Flame and looked at my face.

After waiting for a while, I confirmed that Zhu Ziyan had left before saying, "Even if you attacked, you wouldn't be able to kill her."

"Since Zhu Ziyan and the others see us as enemies, they will be wary of your Sword of Soul Sending. Even if you attacked, you wouldn't be able to hurt her."

"However, if you don't attack, I might be able to plant poison in Zhu Ziyan's heart."

"Lao Liu, Ling, and I analyzed Zhu Zining and Zhu Ziyan together, and the conclusion we reached was similar to what I just said."

"I know we won't be able to catch Zhu Ziyan this time. So, I want to try and provoke a conflict between her and the Reincarnation Division. I've already planted the seed. Whether it sprouts or not is up to fate!"

"Let's go out and find Lao Liu and Black Night Owl!"

Qin Xin said, "Are you really not going to care about Ying Gou's corpse?"

"I always feel that the way to activate Ying Gou's corpse is not to directly enter the Underworld Sea." I looked at the floating coffin and said, "Let's wait until we uncover the next secret."

As the few of us hurried out of the tunnel, Lao Liu and Black Night Owl had already launched another attack on the mountain.

This time, Lao Liu stopped making probing attacks and directly ordered a full-scale assault on the mountain.

Even Black Night Owl was surprised by Lao Liu's sudden decision.

Lao Liu himself said, "We've waited long enough. If we don't respond to the Lord soon, something might change."

The Second Village had no experts guarding it and was quickly taken over by Black Night Owl. When the Hou Qing Guards attacked the third village, they encountered fierce resistance.

The rolling logs and boulders that were knocked down from the top of the mountain were difficult to withstand, even for the Hou Qing Guards. As soon as the two sides clashed, the Hou Qing Guards suffered casualties.

Black Night Owl stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the distant city wall, "Order the guards to continue attacking the mountain!"

Thirty zombies from the Hou Qing Guards waved their battle axes and charged wildly along the mountain path. Their speed was comparable to galloping horses, and the sound of their combat boots striking the ground was like a war drum, each beat shaking the soul.

Just as the Hou Qing Guards had charged halfway up the mountain path, millstone-sized rocks came crashing down from the mountaintop. The roughly hewn stones rolled down the mountain with even greater force and would not be stopped by the terrain along the way.

As the overwhelming boulders rained down with powerful gusts of wind, the Hou Qing Guards turned and ran back down the mountain.

Before Lao Liu could figure out what was happening, he saw Black Night Owl grab a corpse with one hand and soar into the air. Like a bat, he dodged the rocks in the air and rushed towards the top of the city wall.

In just a few seconds, five boulders seemed to lock onto Black Night Owl and smashed down on him simultaneously.

Not only did Black Night Owl not change his course, but he even raised his hand in the air and slapped down on the boulders. The boulders, weighing hundreds of pounds, were sent flying in all directions by Black Night Owl's single palm strike, crashing to the bottom of the mountain with a deafening roar. Black Night Owl, however, carried the corpse and stepped onto the city wall.

Black Night Owl's feet barely touched the city wall. After using the momentum to stop, he flung the corpse in his hand over the city wall with a wave of his right hand.

After the corpse drew an arc in the air, it was struck by some force and exploded into a rain of blood.

Without stopping for a moment, Black Night Owl flipped upside down, jumped off the wall, and leapt back to his original position, using the rocks all over the mountain as footholds. Facing the city wall, he raised his voice and shouted, "Within one incense stick's time, everyone come out and surrender, or you will be exterminated."

Black Night Owl's voice was like the roar of a god. The sound waves suppressed ghosts and gods, and Da Meng Village seemed to tremble under the roar of the ghosts. Even Lao Liu felt the ground shaking.

When Lao Liu looked at Black Night Owl, a visible blood aura had already risen from his body, turning into strands of fine lines like small snakes that slithered towards the village.

A moment later, blood-curdling screams came from the village, growing louder and louder. The previously tightly closed city gates were broken open from the inside in less than a few minutes.

The moment the city fell, a large amount of blood poured down from the gate like a flood. The villagers who were not yet dead struggled to escape down the blood-soaked mountain path, "Stop... we surrender, we surrender!"
