"Me?" Yun Jiuqing was startled.

"Yes!" The woman said anxiously, "Especially you, you absolutely can’t stay here. You need to leave now, go as far as you can!"

"Why?" Yun Jiuqing was puzzled, and then as if she realized something, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed, "Could it be... because I’m also a woman?"

The woman actually nodded, "That’s exactly why! You must not stay here. For women, this place is Purgatory!"

She swallowed hard, then explained, "Everyone in this village is female. Most are women of a young age, and those over the age of forty barely exist here."

"Because they won’t capture such old women. After all... women of such age are already hardly able to give birth. They capture only young women."

"What?" Yun Jiuqing exclaimed in shock, "You were captured and brought here, and all these women hanging here were captured too?"

The woman nodded, "I was captured two years ago. They brought us here and forced us to drink a strange medicine, and then we would become pregnant with terrifying demonic embryos!"

"I..." She looked down at her belly, which was at least four or five months along, her face filled with horror and despair, "This is already, already my second demon embryo. I already... gave birth to one for them a year ago."

"What demon embryo? And who are ’they’?" Yun Jiuqing calmed herself before continuing with concern, "You can take a moment before speaking."

The woman remained silent for quite a while, seemingly trying to organize the chaotic logic in her mind.

After a long time, she took a deep breath.

And divulged everything she knew.

Without holding anything back!

The woman was originally the young lady of a major household in the Great Yan Dynasty. Although this so-called major household had no cultivation heritage, their day-to-day life was quite good, at least much better than that of ordinary commoners.

But such pleasant days came to an abrupt end two years ago when she was abducted during an outing.

She didn’t know how she was taken, only remembered that she was out with two maids, when suddenly a strong wind rose, and then she felt the world spinning before her eyes.

Then she lost consciousness.

When she opened her eyes and regained consciousness, she found herself in an unfamiliar place, along with her two maids.

It was this village!

And they also saw a monster walk in. The woman didn’t know how to describe what the monster looked like. She only remembered that there was a layer of white mist swirling around the monster, and as it approached them, it felt like they had fallen into an ice pit, a deep chill pervading their entire bodies.

They were each forced to drink a bowl of strange medicine by that terrifying monster, and then they were thrown into this village to fend for themselves.

Luckily, there were other women in the village who had experienced the same fate, and after they were given some help by these women

they managed to find a place to live in this area and had just enough food to fill their stomachs.

Barely enough clothes to cover their bodies.

She also learned from the other women that the medicine they were forced to drink was called "Demon Embryo Medicine." Once this medicine was ingested, they would become pregnant with a demon embryo. On the day the demon embryo was born, the monsters that kidnapped them would reappear.

Not only would the monsters bring new Demon Embryo Medicine, but they would also take away the demon embryos they had given birth to.

They had effectively become breeding tools!

"I... I did think about running away. I even thought about aborting the demon embryo in my womb," the woman said in terror. "The two maids who were with me did just that. They wanted to escape from this place."

"But... but as they were about to leave the village, I heard them scream in the night. The screams were so horrifying, I didn’t even dare to go out."

"Not until the next day did I dare to go out and check. I saw them stripped bare and hanging from the trees."

"Their... their bellies were cut open, and the demon embryos inside were taken."

"They’re dead too!!"

Then, she looked toward a woman hanging from a nearby tree and continued, "I knew her. She was one of the more recent captives. She didn’t try to escape but wanted to abort the demon embryo she was carrying."

"We all persuaded her not to do it, but she didn’t listen to us and was very obstinate about aborting the embryo. Little did she know that by doing so, she would enrage those mysterious monsters."

"Then... then now she’s been hung up here by the monsters, she must have been killed last night."

"Others, whether they wanted to escape or abort their demon embryos... without exception,"

"they all failed."

"And they are all dead!"

Listening to the woman’s account, Yun Jiuqing and the others felt a chill run down their spines. Because such tales were indeed too horrifying for words.

"Have you seen what a demon embryo looks like?" At that moment, Xing Fengzi suddenly asked.
