"Cousin, since you think I've walked straight into a trap, and killing me would be as easy as crushing an ant, why are you so agitated?" I clenched my fist and cast my cold, indifferent gaze towards Su Qiang.
My mother was completely shocked, standing still as if she were a wooden chicken, "Wanwan... is it really Wanwan?"
I gave her a reassuring look.
Instantly, tears welled up in my mother's eyes.
"Sister, is that Miss Wan whose cell phone rang?" A Lin Family disciple stepped forward and asked my mother.
The other Lin Family disciples all looked on with a probing gaze, waiting for my mother's answer.
Just as my mother was about to reply, a female disciple murmured hesitantly, "I've seen Miss Wan in Spring Wind Town; it's definitely her. But how could she possibly be in the Pill Room? The Pill Room is so small, we've been staying there for four days and have never seen her. Could she have transformed herself into someone else?"
Su Qiang sneered coldly, regaining her composure, "Even if you sneaked into the Pill Room early on, you'll still be refined by the Thousand Corpses Formation! Su Wan, don't try to act tougher than you are. Since you're here, it saves me the trouble of having to bring you to the Lin Family."
"Oh? The Thousand Corpses Formation, are you sure it still exists?" I teased Su Qiang with a taunting look.
Su Qiang's face darkened, "Stop acting pretentious. You've been in the Pill Room all along; you couldn't possibly have broken the Thousand Corpses Formation."
"Who told you I've been in the Pill Room the whole time? I only entered the Pill Room a moment ago, and I can even tell you that the heart of the formation is in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall." I don't like keeping people in suspense, so I succinctly pierced through Su Qiang's illusion.
The moment Su Qiang heard that the formation's heart was in the Lin Family Ancestral Hall, her complexion turned completely purple, she clutched her stomach and furrowed her brows, "You... you even knew about the formation's heart. You surely couldn't have... for the sake of breaking the formation, you couldn't have killed Lin Xintang... could you? With your overly sympathetic dog-like nature, I know you too well, you couldn't bear to do it, you couldn't possibly have done it..."
As Su Qiang continued, she became more and more certain, eventually bursting into a loud, deranged laugh. Follow current novels on NoveIꜰire.net
I looked at Su Qiang with cold eyes, lips pursed, too lazy to waste my breath on her.
At this moment, in this place, Su Qiang was like a turtle in a jar—there was no need for me to argue about anything with her.
"Someone, come here, activate the Thousand Corpses Formation now!I want Su Wan dead!! I want her and the monstrosity in her belly to die this instant."
Having lost her composure, Su Qiang's eyes reddened, her fingernails deeply embedded in the armrest, she stubbornly ordered her subordinates to activate the Thousand Corpses Formation.
There were numerous foxes lurking nearby, and at Su Qiang's command,
They scattered instantly to activate the Thousand Corpses Formation.
Lin Yan and the others immediately panicked, "If you activate the Thousand Corpses Formation now, we don't have protective inscriptions on our bodies, we'll be refined as well."
"Drag them away. You are mere cannon fodder; being refined into nourishment for Lord Xuanjing is a privilege for you."
Su Qiang was as emotionally unstable and irritable as the first time I met her, single-mindedly wishing for my quick death and the demise of the Lin Family's main line.
She had no time to care about the fate of those traitorous Lin Family disciples and uncontrolledly ordered the refinement of everyone.
For a moment, Lin Yan and the others, powerless against the powerfully magical foxes, were pushed back without any ability to resist,
Maintaining a distance of more than a yard from Su Qiang.
This left them dumbfounded.
The Lin Family disciples who hadn't rebelled sneered and mocked them in their looks.
Not long after, the foxes sent to activate the formation came running back in a panic,
"Re… Lady Fox Immortal, the formation... the formation has been sabotaged; we can't activate it."
Relieved, Lin Yan and the others exhaled but were also shocked as they glanced at me and Lin Huan, fearing reprisal from the Lin Family come autumn.
Now, they were truly in a no-win situation.
The other Lin Family disciples, however, had gleaming eyes, intently focused on me.
I still stood in place, silent.
Clutching her stomach, which seemed to be in severe pain, Su Qiang bent over with much of her weight lowered, her breathing heavily labored, "Fine! Su Wan, you're seeking death. Even without the Thousand Corpses Formation, I still have... String Killer. You will be executed by lingchi tonight."
