The two young girls, although the weaker party, continued to curse defiantly even after being pushed into the pit: "Wu Yunlan, you have betrayed the Witch God, you have harmed your own kind, you are the true traitor!"
"Miss is wronged, we won’t let you off even as ghosts!"
However, the two young girls didn’t rant for long. Beneath the pit, there were already countless Gu insects waiting for them. They were severely injured, and their Lifebound Gu couldn’t protect them for much longer. In a short while, the poisonous worms in the Insect Pool had crawled all over their bodies.
The biting, the endless transfer of venom, soon their skin was festering and bleeding, completely losing human shape.
"Weren’t you just cursing very happily? Continue," Wu Yunlan mocked.
But the two girls could only keep their mouths shut in the face of the poisonous worms, as they would crawl into their mouths as soon as they opened them.
Wu Yunlan looked on with satisfaction as they struggled and life slowly drained from them.
"Don’t worry, it will soon be your master’s turn."
Having said that, Wu Yunlan led the others to continue up the Hill.
At this moment, a man in a blue robe caught up.
"Saintess Yun Lan, please wait."
Wu Yunlan looked back. The man was from the Divine Temple, and her brows couldn’t help but twitch.
"The Gu Master invites you," the man in the blue robe replied, bowing at a leisurely pace.
"The Gu Master?" Wu Yunlan was somewhat surprised: "Has that old man finished his seclusion?"
"Yes, the Gu Master is summoning the 16 Saintesses, please report immediately."
Although Wu Yunlan was surprised, she didn’t show it on her face and nodded calmly as she continued down, then turned back to command her Maids: "You don’t need to follow me, go about your business."
Implicit in her words was an order to urgently take care of Wu Nuan. How could these four confidants of Wu Yunlan not understand her intentions? They bowed to take orders and watched Wu Yunlan leave the Hill before continuing upwards.
When the area became quiet again, Bai Junjun gracefully leaped down to the ground.
By this time, in the enormous pit, snakes, insects, rats, and ants had formed two small Hills. And who could tell that these Hills had been two living people? They would be mistaken for two burial mounds.
Bai Junjun casually threw a tree branch down, which instantly grew upon hitting the ground, rolling the snakes, insects, rats, and ants underneath its leaves and absorbing them into its body.
As the insects gradually were exterminated, the outlines of the two young girls became more apparent. However, the young maidens who were like flowers just a moment ago, now had festering skin, with many areas eroded so severely that bones and internal organs were visible.
Even Bai Junjun, who was used to hordes of Zombies, couldn’t help but frown.
After all, those Zombies didn’t have pain nerves, but these two maidens were still living people. They could still feel the pain, and one could vaguely see their muscles constantly twitching.
Taking out the Water of Flora, Bai Junjun poured it over the two girls. The moment it touched their skin, they let out screams of agony, but after a while, the Water of Flora started to have an effect, and the skin of the young maidens began to heal.
It was as if they were dreaming. One second they were undergoing inhuman torture, and the next, they were being rescued.
But right now they were too weak to care for themselves, just feebly saying to Bai Junjun: "Hurry, go save the Saintess, before Wu Yunlan gets there... You must bring the Saintess back, or else, or else..."
Bai Junjun interrupted them: "If you want to save her then drink up this water quickly and lead the way."
"?" The two girls, already dizzy in their minds, were now completely befuddled.
