Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 241: Counterkill

Lu Zechuan’s words had just fallen, and the moss suddenly seemed to have gained life, spreading across the ground like green waves and seeping behind the walls...

Moments later, a scream suddenly came from behind the left wall!

The walls, which were closing up, stopped slowly.

Sun Xiao showed a trace of hatred on his face, turned around, and rushed toward the left back of the wall.

In the left rear position, there was no trace of a door, but Sun Xiao didn’t care, raised his fist, and violently punched towards the position where the scream had come from.

As Sun Xiao smashed the wall with blow after blow, a large hole was carved out on the wall.

Behind that wall was a secret chamber.

In the secret chamber, Qin Cui was wrapped layer by layer from bottom to top by the moss. The moss was creeping upwards, threatening to cover Qin Cui’s mouth and nose.

Not far behind Qin Cui, a dense mass of people lay scattered on the floor, only one stubbornly sitting against the wall.

That person had been beaten black and blue, looking like a pig’s head, but one could vaguely make out the shadow of the Great Elder of the Divine Clan.

Qin Cui’s struggle noise woke the drowsy Great Elder with a jolt, and upon opening his eyes, he saw two familiar figures in the chamber.

The Great Elder, his eyes swollen so badly he could barely open them, tried hard to widen them upon seeing Xia Mian, his eyes ablaze with dazzling light, brimming with tears, "Miss!"

The shout for "Miss" was exceedingly loud, as if seeing a family member!

Xia Mian furrowed her brow. Upon hearing the term "Miss," she finally confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed the Great Elder of the Divine Clan.

Upon seeing Xia Mian, the Great Elder felt a backbone to rely on, immediately becoming arrogant, standing up and kicking the Divine Clan guards on his left and right, cursing aloud, "Get up! Miss is here to take us home!"

Amid the Great Elder’s ranting, those unconscious Divine Clan guards slowly woke up one by one. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

However, they seemed to have been affected by some magic, awakening but still appearing absent-minded, seemingly drained of energy.

"Miss, we were caught off guard and schemed against by these Heavenly Maiden women!" the Great Elder said angrily, and talking about this matter made him feel indignant.

These women from the Heavenly Maiden Clan were truly full of guile!

They feigned submission and ingratiated themselves openly, only to turn around and call for reinforcements and plot against them!

Xia Mian looked at the Great Elder disdainfully, "Being fooled by a bunch of women, you still have the nerve to talk!"

This Great Elder seemed smart enough, how come his head was only filled with water?

The Great Elder’s face burned with embarrassment, but fortunately, his face was swollen beyond recognition, so no one could notice his awkwardness.

"Mmm... mmm..." The moss crawled onto Qin Cui’s mouth and nose, causing Qin Cui to emit desperate whimpers.

"Wretched woman, you’ve come to this!" The Great Elder spat, attempted to stand beside Xia Mian, but his legs weakened, stumbling forward instead.

With a thud, the Great Elder fell hard on the ground, seeing stars.

Xia Mian looked down at the Great Elder, unable to hide the disgust in her eyes.

How did this Great Elder ever become the Great Elder of the Divine Clan?

The Great Elder, seeing stars, shook his head, lifted it again, only to see multiple images of Xia Mian.

"Miss, you can perform the Clone Technique?" The Great Elder squinted hard, but Xia Mian’s image still overlapped in his eyes.

Xia Mian sighed softly, "The Great Elder is unaware of being affected by magic?"

The Great Elder propped himself on the ground, sitting up slowly, "I didn’t know. When I woke up, I was already here."

Moreover, his whole body ached, and he had no clue what those women from the Heavenly Maiden Clan did to him, but his skin and flesh felt separated, a discomfort!

Now, even standing was exhausting.

"Ooo... ooo..." Qin Cui struggled and crawled towards Xia Mian, reaching out for help.

Unfortunately, the sticky moss clung to Qin Cui’s face like super glue, making her breathing increasingly difficult, her consciousness grew fuzzy, and the hand stretched out mid-air eventually dropped, unable to rise again.

Sun Xiao stared blankly at the scene, although he had anticipated Qin Cui’s fate long ago, seeing Qin Cui indeed die in front of him still left Sun Xiao somewhat unwilling to accept.

"Grand Ancestor, is she dead?" Sun Xiao carefully swallowed a mouthful of saliva, hesitantly asked.

Xia Mian didn’t speak, responding instead was Lu Zechuan, "Dead."

Moss already filled Qin Cui’s mouth and nose, and if cultivators don’t breathe over time, their organs will deteriorate rapidly.

Sun Xiao’s head drooped, his complexion slightly pale.

He indeed bore no affection for Qin Cui, who previously plotted against him, and he harbored hatred towards Qin Cui.

But facing her death, his feelings became quite complicated.

"Miss, what’s happened to us?" Those awakened Divine Clan guards all wore confused expressions.

Their bodies were weak, vital energy dispersed, as if drained entirely.

In this state, they couldn’t walk out of the secret chamber by themselves, even with help, they couldn’t make it far.

Xia Mian’s gaze slowly swept over these individuals, and faintly visible wisps of black aura lingered around them.

Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed unconsciously, "Among the Hundred Families of the Mystic Sect, which ones practice evil techniques?"

As Xia Mian spoke, Sun Xiao responded immediately, "Grand Ancestor, those practicing evil techniques, apart from the Dead Cultivators of Chaotic Burial Mountain, are those monsters of the Soul-devouring Clan!"

Dead Cultivators... Soul-devouring Clan...

Xia Mian narrowed her eyes gently. These two sects sounded somewhat familiar!

Recalling that these sects had previously caused trouble for her and Lu Zechuan in this world, Xia Mian had an unfavorable view of these sects.

Just anything could be included in the Hundred Families of the Mystic Sect?

"Looking at their state, they seem to have been touched by the Soul-devouring Clan, but perhaps the Divine Soul of the Divine Clan members was too strong, so they only suffered soul trauma, not body possession," Sun Xiao said thoughtfully after examining the Divine Clan members.

After Sun Xiao spoke, Xia Mian narrowed her eyes gently.

Previously, when Mrs. Wu was controlled by the Soul-devouring Clan, not sane, relentlessly pursuing them, that scene slowly emerged in her mind.

Were these Divine Clan members truly possessing strong soul defense not to be taken over by the Soul-devouring Clan, or were they possessed already, waiting for her rescue, and sneak back to the Divine Clan without anyone knowing to stage a fatal attack?

Xia Mian squinted her eyes, her gaze slowly sweeping over the Divine Clan members, and the guards shivering instinctively under her gaze.
