Reborn as a Hatrack in the Mystical Land-Chapter 876 - 126: Death Array

How powerful a Peak Holy Beast Demon Beast truly is, Yue Jinghua temporarily did not know. As Qing Pu released her and let her see what was in front of her again, she was already standing in the Sky Witch Feeding place.

After Lie Changgong was sent away, Yue Jinghua had Qian Luo set up an array outside the Sky Witch Feeding to strictly prevent anyone from entering.

"Are my big brother and the others really safe? Who saved them? And where are they now?" Yue Jinghua shuddered as she recalled Dream Mo’s terrifying skills and the ability to make people fall into a dream state at any moment.

A Peak Holy Beast was already close to the Body Seizing Realm, tens of times more powerful than the likes of Long Ao.

"Whom are you asking about? If you’re talking about your big brother and the members of the July Mercenary Team, then they were indeed rescued by someone. And you can rest assured, the person who saved them is someone you know very well, your good friend Shalman," Qing Pu put Yue Jinghua down, standing where he was, seemingly pondering something.

"Shalman?! She didn’t die, that’s great, but how could she..." Qing Pu usually didn’t talk much, but whenever he spoke, every word was precise. If he said Shalman didn’t die, she must be alive.

After learning that her friend was not dead, Yue Jinghua relaxed a little, even smiled. But then she wondered, how did Shalman avoid Wu Mo and survive in Zhuqiu?

She was just a delicate and weak woman, and she didn’t even have her Beast Taming Ring, her only means of survival, by her side.

"She received the inheritance of the Sky Witch Beast Witch Yu," in fact, upon entering Zhuqiu and noticing changes in the array and mechanisms, Qing Pu had guessed that someone had entered the core area of Zhuqiu.

The only ones who could enter the core of Zhuqiu must be those who had received the Sky Witch inheritance.

Only the thirteen Sky Witches of the past and their tamed Witch Beasts, Wu Mo, could enter that area.

Shalman happened to enter Zhuqiu during that time, and due to her identity as a Beastmaster, Qing Pu naturally associated her with the former Sky Witch Master Beast Witch Yu.

It was very likely that after Yue Jinghua and the others fell into Wu Mo’s ambush, Shalman discovered that her comrades and friends had entered Zhuqiu, so she lay in ambush nearby. Taking advantage of Wu Mo being affected by the seductive fragrance, she first rescued Yue Minzhi and the others from the outskirts. She was planning to enter Wu Mo’s deep sleep area to find Yue Jinghua’s whereabouts when Yue Jinghua and Qing Pu shattered Dream Mo’s dream bubble, awakening Wu Mo.

"She has good luck. Beast Witch Yu is the most easygoing among all Sky Witches. Coincidentally, his background is quite similar to Shalman’s, both being overlooked family bastards. It seems Shalman’s identity and experiences won his appreciation, so he gave her his Sky Witch inheritance," Qing Pu squinted his eyes, not telling Yue Jinghua the whole truth.

Actually, Qing Pu also suspected that with Beast Witch Yu’s help, Shalman not only received the Sky Witch inheritance.

"You just said, my big brother and the people of the July Mercenary Team—Shalman’s character is much like mine, a typical revenge-seeking type. She would naturally save her comrades and my big brother, but what about the others... Fa Xiaoyi? No, I mean Liao?" Yue Jinghua felt a chill in her heart.

Shalman had always thought of Fa Xiaoyi as a heartless scoundrel. Plus, when Yue Jinghua reconciled with Liao, Shalman was in Zhuqiu, unaware that the current Fa Xiaoyi was not the same as the Prince Fa of the past.

There’s no way Shalman would save him, leaving Liao to face that Peak Demon Beast alone?

Yue Jinghua moved to rush out of the Sky Witch Feeding but was grabbed by Qing Pu.

At this moment, the sky above the Divine Ruins echoed with the loud blare of a horn, short once and then thrice long, sharp as if piercing through one’s eardrums.

"It’s the Four Symbols City’s war horn," Yue Jinghua might not have stayed long in the Four Symbols City, but she knew this kind of war horn was only used when the Four Symbols City was in the most critical situation.

"Demon Clan invasion," Qing Pu’s expression turned icy; he finally understood why other continents hadn’t shown up at the Divine Ruins recently. News of the Demon Clan’s invasion must have reached other continents and some fugitives here and there.

Only the members of the Four Symbols Team, sent in like cannon fodder into the Divine Ruins, were completely unaware.

"I can’t leave Liao behind, he’s my comrade," Yue Jinghua fumed, pulling away from Qing Pu’s hand.

Unexpectedly, the other party grabbed and hoisted her up. His broad witch robe immediately wrapped Yue Jinghua tightly, rendering her unable to move.

Yue Jinghua felt like she was wrapped by a cocoon of silk, unable to move anything except her head and mouth.

Qing Pu carried her like a sack over his shoulder, shouting hoarsely, "Shut up, and stop acting on impulse. If we don’t leave, both you and I will die here."

Finished speaking, Qing Pu jumped onto the high walls of the Sky Witch Feeding with Yue Jinghua on his shoulder.

Just as Yue Jinghua was about to retort, the scene before her left her speechless.

The higher up, the further one could see.

The Sky Witch Feeding was built on high ground in the village; from there, one could clearly see the surroundings.

The four directions of the Sky Witch Ancient Village, where the Four Symbols Transmission Arrays should have been, had completely changed.

The transmission arrays spun rapidly, like blades on a spinning wheel, swiftly moving through the ancient village.

These blades were incredibly sharp, mowing everything in their path—houses, grass, Demon Beasts, fugitives—all were cut down.

In mere moments, the previously preserved Sky Witch Ancient Village was devastated by those four bladed wheels.

Yue Jinghua gasped in cold air.

"Transmission array? Could it be that City Lord Changsun planned it from the start, leaving us with no way out?" Yue Jinghua shuddered.

With the transmission arrays gone, their retreat was cut off, leaving them stranded.

Now that the Witch Beast was awake, unless they could leave the village, death was inevitable.

Either devoured by the Witch Beast or butchered by the four spinning blades.

"The Holy Beast Clan truly harbors wolfish ambitions. This is no transmission array; from the day it was set, it was a death array. Anyone attempting to leave the Divine Ruins through it was doomed to die," Qing Pu’s eyes were cold as he spoke words that chilled Yue Jinghua to her core.

A death array?

The very day she and her brother Yue Minzhi sent Long Rui and their grandfather Lie Changgong through a transmission array, they had sent them to a death array?
