"It's okay, the mechanisms outside have already been disarmed by him."

Changsun Ming gestured to the young man and said in a deep voice, "You all just follow us, don't fall behind."

Before long, the hundreds of women in the dungeon were all brought out by Chen Tang and the other three.

Upon seeing this scene, Dugu Qingcheng's face turned frosty, and she said murderously, "I'm going to kill each and every one of those bastards in Wushan Village!"

"They should be waking up soon, there's no time."

Yuwen Heigou said gravely, "Find some clothes for them and set this place on fire, escort them to Bingzhou City."

"Alright."

The four of them split up to find some clothes from Wushan Village and placed them in front of the women.

Seeing the light of day again, some women gradually regained their senses, and there was a bit more clarity in their previously dull eyes.

Once the women were dressed, Chen Tang and the others escorted them down the mountain and then set Wushan Village ablaze!

The fire burned stronger and stronger, and with a gust of wind, it quickly spread from Wushan Village to the mountain forests. The Qimen Five Elements Array was consumed in this great fire.

"Farewell, heroes."

At the foot of the mountain, the young man cupped his hands to bid farewell to Chen Tang and the others.

Chen Tang did not let it go, pressing him, "Brother, you haven't said, what exactly is the secret of Wushan Village, what do you know?"

"That's right, since we are about to part, why not tell us about it."

Changsun Ming also said.

The young man hesitated slightly before slowly saying, "Have you ever heard of the legend of the Ghost Mother?"

"Ghost Mother?"

Yuwen Heigou frowned slightly, "I've only heard a bit; something about the Ghost Mother having ten children..."

At this point, Yuwen Heigou was taken aback, "You mean, behind the Ten Ghosts of Wushan, there is actually a Ghost Mother! The 'mother' they talk about is the Ghost Mother?"

"That's correct."

The young man nodded.

"Who is this Ghost Mother?"

Changsun Ming asked solemnly, "And how is it related to Profound Celestial Temple?"

The young man spoke astonishingly, "The Observatory Master of Profound Celestial Temple of Bingzhou City, Meng Qi, is the Ghost Mother!"

Chen Tang and the others were shocked.

Behind Wushan Village, it turns out to be the Observatory Master of Bingzhou City's Profound Celestial Temple!

Yuwen Heigou frowned and asked, "What does Ghost... Meng Qi want with these women who are about to give birth?"

"This is due to a cultivation technique she practices, called the Purple River Evil Technique."

The young man said, "Meng Qi originally came from Nanxia. She was discovered practicing this evil technique in Nanxia and was pursued and eventually ended up in Qian Country. Somehow, she became the Observatory Master of Profound Celestial Temple in Bingzhou City."

"Purple River Evil Technique?"

Chen Tang and the others frowned deeply.

The young man explained, "This Purple River Evil Technique has the effect of maintaining eternal youth, and one of the necessary items it requires is the Purple River Car!"

Chen Tang and the others felt a wave of nausea.

The Purple River Car refers to the placenta of pregnant women.

No one expected that Meng Qi would use the Purple River Car for cultivation!

The young man said, "It's said that this evil technique requires the freshest Purple River Car. If the woman is newly pregnant, the Purple River Car has not yet formed and can't be used for cultivation. Only when the woman is about to give birth can the Purple River Car be separated and used for this evil technique."

Chen Tang felt a shiver run down his spine.

No wonder Wushan Village comes down the mountain to abduct girls from time to time, even targeting some pregnant women.

"Such a demoness, devoid of humanity, truly fears no retribution from the heavens!"

Dugu Qingcheng couldn't help but curse.

She had heard some stories from the Jianghu through her parents, but since she was new to the martial world, she had never witnessed such cruelty and malice.

The young man laughed mockingly, "She's the Observatory Master of Profound Celestial Temple now; what does she have to fear from the heavens?"

Yuwen Heigou's face darkened as he asked, "And after the placenta is removed from the women about to give birth? What about the babies?"

"That, I don't know."

The young man shook his head slightly, "However, given her methods, she likely wouldn't let those women survive. Only the dead can keep secrets."

Dugu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, "I can't stand it; I must kill this demoness!"

"Don't be impulsive."

Yuwen Heigou said, "To become the Observatory Master of Bingzhou City's Profound Celestial Temple, she must be at least at the late Foundation Establishment stage, or perhaps even a Perfect Foundation Establishment Mage. With our abilities, confronting her would be seeking our own demise."

"So we're just going to let her get away with it?"

Changsun Ming clenched his spear, "Why not report this to the State Mansion or Cyan Dragon Bureau and let them handle it?"

"What are we going to say?"

Yuwen Heigou shook his head, "If the authorities inquire, we have no evidence, only our word? Without solid proof, neither the County Mansion nor the Cyan Dragon Bureau would want to touch the Profound Celestial Temple!"

Then, he glanced at the young man beside him.

To be precise, it was the young man's word.

In truth, Yuwen Heigou was already seventy to eighty percent convinced of what the young man said.

After all, fabricating such a story would be difficult to piece together without flaws.

This was the only possibility that matched the information they currently had.

Faced with Yuwen Heigou's skepticism, the young man merely smiled gently, cupped his hands, and said, "I've said all I can; farewell, and may we meet again if fate allows in the Jianghu."

With that, the young man turned and left, quickly disappearing into the night.

This time, Chen Tang and the others did not try to stop him.

Yuwen Heigou was silent for a moment, then said, "Listen to my advice, let this matter rest here. You can't afford to provoke the Profound Celestial Temple in Bingzhou City."

"Can't afford to, so what?"

Dugu Qingcheng retorted, "If we don't get rid of this demoness, even if we destroy Wushan Village, the Ten Ghosts will rise again in the future, endlessly!"

Changsun Ming looked at the pale-faced women nearby, who still appeared frightened even after escaping Wushan Village, and said softly, "I could have ignored it if I didn't know. But now, I know."

"I've learned these skills, and if even I turn a blind eye, can we expect ordinary people to step up?"

Yuwen Heigou remained silent for a while before sighing, "The Profound Celestial Sect's power in Qian Country is far stronger than you imagine, and the strength of the Profound Celestial Temple in Bingzhou City surpasses even your expectations."

"The Profound Celestial Temple undoubtedly has more than one Foundation Establishment Mage, more Alchemists, and there may even be Fifth Grade, Fourth Grade strong practitioners; lower-grade martial artists are even more numerous."

"Haitang, what do you think?"

Dugu Qingcheng, seeing Chen Tang remain silent, couldn't help but ask.

"First, let's confirm whether what that brother said is true."

Chen Tang licked his lips, a glint of ferocity flashing in his eyes, "If it is, then we indeed need to find a way to deal with this Observatory Master."

"We four have killed the Ten Ghosts of Wushan, and some bandits escaped from the village. It won't be long before this Observatory Master gets wind of it. Even if we don't seek her out, she won't let us go."

The enmity was already formed; there was no turning back.

As for killing any Observatory Master, Chen Tang didn't have the slightest psychological burden.

He'd personally taken down one!

The one in Bingzhou City was just of a higher cultivation realm.

As long as the opportunity arose to get close, he would chop her down just the same!
