"No," Wei Mother stood up, shaking her head. "Ning'er is my child, carried for ten months and raised with care. You may choose not to go, but I cannot. I am her mother, so no matter what, I must try."
Wei Xian Gui replied coldly, "Did you not hear me say 'no'?"
Wei Mother did not back down at all. "I must go today; if I don't, Ning'er will resent me for a lifetime."
Wei Xian Gui's voice grew colder, chilling enough to make one shiver. "If I go, Ning'er will be under my care. What do you have to worry about?"
Wei Mother retorted sharply, "It is precisely because it is you that I worry!"
Wei Xian Gui laughed without anger. "Very well then, today I shall end your life. It would be no more than crushing an ant. If you dare, come forward."
"Come forward? I will!" Wei Mother lifted her chin defiantly and strode ahead.
At that moment, Maid Granny hurriedly grabbed Wei Mother's arm and whispered, "A wise person does not rush into danger. You won't save Ning'er this way; instead, you might lose your life for nothing. This Old Ghost is capable of anything! We should think of a plan once we return. With this old rogue nearby to look after things, Wei Ning should be fine. Although this old rogue is ruthless, he is still part of the Wei Family. Wei Ning is the only bloodline left; how could he let her fall into someone else's hands?"
Wei Mother smiled sadly and said, "What if he deceives us?"
Maid Granny fell silent. At that moment, several sisters-in-law came over to persuade Wei Mother as well. Deep down, Wei Mother understood their current predicament and sighed. "I hope you can keep your word. I'm counting on you." Suddenly, her tone shifted as she said sternly, "If you deceive me, I will scour the Three Mountains and Five Peaks in search of something to kill you. Though I may not be able to kill you myself, I believe there are things in this world that can. Do you truly believe you can shield yourself from everything?"
Wei Xian Gui's eyes showed a hint of confusion as he murmured, "Are there truly things in this world that can kill me? If only there were..." He suddenly sighed deeply. "How wonderful that would be."
After a long pause, Wei Xian Gui waved his hand abruptly and said, "Go back now; I've taken Ning'er for three years. After three years, I will return her to you. You need not search for her."
Wei Mother was taken aback once more; when she turned around, Wei Xian Gui had already vanished without a trace.
"Accept it; this is our fate. We have no power to stop him..." Maid Granny patted Wei Mother's shoulder in comfort.
Wei Mother cried out, "Is my Ning'er's life to be controlled by this beast?"
"You are not an outsider; how can you not understand our Wei Family's fate? With such a monster among us... Why don't our ancestors show themselves and take this Evil Spirit away..." Maid Granny grew increasingly agitated and eventually embraced Wei Mother, unable to hold back her own tears as well.
"Not necessarily. He might return to us in three years."
Wei Mother, still reeling from her earlier sorrow, had not fully grasped the implications of Wei Xian Gui's words until now. Suddenly, she shuddered and exclaimed, "In three years, Wei Ning will be seven! You mean..."
"Ah, let's hope so. I hope this monster will show mercy because Wei Ning is the only bloodline of our Wei Family."
"That's all we can do..."
A heavy silence fell over the group. They had grown accustomed to their fate, living under the formidable shadow of Wei Xian Gui. After all, they were just women. When faced with helplessness, they felt like a flock of sheep awaiting slaughter, forced to believe in a higher power and destiny. Yet, they did not realize that although they were extraordinary, they felt weak and fearful when confronted with an enemy as powerful as Wei Xian Gui. This was only natural; they were merely women, and it would be unfair to hold them to too high a standard. However, they should understand that in this world, there are some things that may be too powerful to conquer, but at least they fought back, expressed themselves, and resisted—even if it meant facing death.
Wei Ning hung suspended in mid-air. The slightest movement sent waves of pain coursing through her body. Li Xin slowly stepped out from the crowd and looked at Wei Ning with undisguised smugness. "So, how's the air up there? Fresh enough?"
Wei Ning glared down at Li Xin and spat a mouthful of blood at his face. Coldly, she replied, "Not bad—just wish I could be higher up."
"You..." Li Xin wiped the blood from his face and punched Wei Ning hard in the abdomen. The pain from her muscles nearly caused her to faint; she let out a muffled groan but remained defiant.
"The chairman instructed us to treat him well. Aren't you being a bit excessive?" Lin Lingsu approached from behind and spoke slowly.
Wei Ning glanced at Lin Lingsu, a bitter expression crossing her face. "Is this what you wanted?"
"Wake up! Even now, you're still thinking about love and romance? What a romantic fool you are—truly admirable," Li Xin mocked while clapping his hands.
"Li Xin, watch your mouth or I'll cut out your tongue."
Li Xin looked at Lin Lingsu with a flash of resentment in his eyes but quickly masked it with a smile. "Yes, yes! You're the team leader; I'm just a subordinate. I'll listen to whatever you say—how's that?"
At that moment, surrounded by a group of vice presidents, Ning Suwen—the current leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain—floated in gracefully. She glanced at the nearly lifeless Wei Ning hanging in mid-air and nodded approvingly. "Lin, Li, you both did very well this time. I'm pleased."
Lin Lingsu and Li Xin quickly replied, "It was all thanks to the chairman's planning; we merely followed his arrangements and did our part. We wouldn't dare take credit."
Ning Suwen nodded, clearly satisfied with the responses from the two disciples. She turned to a vice director and asked, "Is everything prepared?"
"Everything is in place, just waiting for him," Wan pointed at Wei Ning.
Ning Suwen gazed at Wei Ning for a long moment before slowly saying, "The Wei Family's Blood Corpse, the Unrivaled Blood Corpse. I never expected that my Dragon Tiger Mountain would ultimately refine the fifteenth Blood Corpse, and it would be an Unrivaled Blood Corpse. Have you found the Corpse Raising Ground?"
A vice director replied, "We have searched for a full ten years. Three years ago, we finally found an excellent Corpse Raising Ground in a perilous area of Lushan. I can guarantee that this is the place with the heaviest Evil Energy among all Corpse Raising Grounds in China, ensuring we can refine an Unrivaled Blood Corpse."
Ning Suwen nodded, "That's very good, very good."
"What are they planning? Are they going to turn themselves into Zombies?" Wei Ning thought desperately. "No, absolutely not. I can die; I can forgo the Undying Bone, but I cannot become a Zombie—a mindless creature that only knows how to drink human blood and is controlled by others. No way…"
At that moment, an object on Wei Ning's chest began to emit light, growing brighter until it shone like the sun, blinding everyone present. In that instant, it seemed as if a shadow flashed by, and then the light dimmed. It was as if nothing had happened.
"What just happened? Did anyone see what occurred?" Because the light had been so intense, everyone instinctively closed their eyes for a moment. Thus, while they all seemed to have seen a dark figure of some sort, no one could clearly make it out.
"Quickly go check if something has happened to that boy," Ning Suwen urged anxiously.
Xu Suwen hurried over and touched Wei Ning's body. Suddenly, she exclaimed in shock, "Oh no! This boy only has six pieces of bone!"
