Damn it! Let’s smash the darkness together!

Chapter 1470 - 210: Lotus Platform of Dui Ze

You are the mastermind of the Judgement Department, after all, and women understand women better. Help me take a look—Xu Shu.

She probably wasn’t lying; she was so scared she almost wet herself—Xiao Ya.

Crude. How about we check how deep the waters run in this branch of the White Lotus Sect? I think they’re hiding big secrets—Xu Shu.

Exactly my intention! I also find this White Lotus Sect very peculiar. We might even dig out the location of some treasure—Xiao Ya.

What’s the best way to deal with this Yang Su?—Xu Shu.

Emmm... In this world within the mystical realm, there aren’t really any rules to speak of. But in my opinion, even though she was forced to assist the White Lotus Sect, she ultimately indirectly caused the deaths of many people, and she wasn’t entirely unaware, which makes her an accomplice. Considering her honesty, she can be exempt from punishment in life, but death is unavoidable. Execute her on the spot—Xiao Ya.

Hiss! You’re actually using real-world laws to govern the residents of these ruins? Lord Ouyang sure has a lot of authority! But, we’ll do as you say—Xu Shu.

Eek, you actually didn’t have any other dubious thoughts? Alright, I was just kidding earlier; it’s not that serious. Death is exempt, but punishment in life is unavoidable. I think you should just let her serve you with her body to atone, and let’s leave it at that—Xiao Ya.

What serving... what nonsense are you spouting? I’m a noble gentleman, you perverted girl! Hmph, this woman previously attempted to exploit the kindness of this County Magistrate to commit evil, trying to manipulate me at her whim. She’s pitiful, yet her intentions are despicable~ Slurp~—Xu Shu.

Are you really kind?—Xiao Ya.

Enough with the nonsense—Xu Shu.

Eye contact ends.

Then, Xu Shu gave Yang Su a meaningful look and slowly said, "Do you have anything else to confess? If you have nothing more to say, I’ll proceed as agreed, to send you..."

"Ah?"

Yang Su was startled.

Even though County Magistrate Liu was vague, she was perceptive enough to sense what she was about to face.

Clearly, this was the pace to send her off to her death!

In an instant, the fear of death consumed her to the extreme.

Seeing Xu Shu raise his hand as if he would strike in the next moment, Yang Su suddenly had a flash of inspiration and quickly said, "Sir... I, I know something that the Guiding Envoys do not..."

"What? There’s still a hidden story?"

Xu Shu was taken aback and glared fiercely at Xiao Ya.

And you said she wasn’t lying?

And you said she had come clean?

Xiao Ya was instantly indignant, "I actually misjudged... I already said I’m not a lie detector."

"Hmph, you couldn’t even see this coming; you’re useless!"

Xu Shu didn’t banter with Xiao Ya anymore. Instead, he turned to Yang Su and said, "Cough, go ahead and tell us."

Yang Su bit her lip and said, "A mere girl... knows that the lord won’t spare me! Before I speak, I only have one request. I hope the lord can agree to it!"

Who said that? I originally decided to spare you, alright!

After all, I’m not some supreme arbiter with a vested interest in judging the inner affairs of you ruin residents. It’s you who wanted to leave yourself an out, which led to your own path of doom...

Xu Shu squinted at her and smirked, "Alright, as long as you truly confess this time and don’t play any more tricks, I can leave you a way out."

Hmph, attempting to threaten me with this; later, I’ll give you a way out, assuming you can survive a blow from me.

Anyway, the opportunity is given to you. If you can’t seize it, it’s not my fault!

Xu Shu thought maliciously.

At this moment, Yang Su shook her head and said, "No, this mere girl knows that she has caused the death of many innocents, and deserves to die countless times. I only ask that the lord find a good family to adopt Yue’er. She is still young and innocent. With that, I can die in peace..."

"..."

Ha, turns out there is a maternal glow after all... Fine, it seems your luck is good. I’ll let you off this time...

Xu Shu sighed unexpectedly and said, "Alright."

"Thank you, my lord."

Yang Su bowed and then staggered up from the slightly damp ground, "Please follow me, my lord."

Saying that, she led the way at the front, soon bringing Xu Shu and Xiao Ya to a secret chamber in the back.

The secret chamber was not large. Inside was an altar with a lotus pedestal, with just enough space for two yellow meditation cushions.

The altar enshrined a rather plump female deity, known as the "Mother of Non-Birth."

In her left hand, she held a jade bottle, and in her right, a stalk of wheat, presenting a direct image of "providing water and food to the Believers." This is characteristic of the folk sects that emerged from chaotic times.

"Please wait here, my lords."

After speaking, Yang Su knelt on the ground, clasped her hands together, and prayed, muttering the verbose mantras of the White Lotus Sect, mixed with some peculiar tongue-twisting sounds.

In less than half a minute, a strange thickness began to envelop the surroundings, starting to diffuse into the air.

Though she was clearly an ordinary person, through these means, she seemed to have stirred some kind of ripple and impression in the Extraordinary Domain.

Xu Shu and Xiao Ya exchanged a glance, both keeping a close watch.

Yang Su had been unpredictable on many occasions, perhaps she left some measures here too?

With this thought, Xu Shu became alert and moved behind Xiao Ya.

Xiao Ya’s eyes widened: ???

Xu Shu, feeling a bit embarrassed under her gaze, wrapped an arm around her waist, picking up the little lady barely over a meter tall and putting her outside the secret room, ensuring both of them were at a safe distance from the statue.

After completing this action, just a moment later, Yang Su suddenly opened her eyes widely and shouted sharply, "Mother, please show your power!"

Crash!

As soon as the words fell, the statue of the Mother of Non-Birth on the altar trembled violently.

The entire secret chamber was filled with roaring winds, a howling sound echoing endlessly, as if some peculiar and eerie presence had truly descended here, possessing the statue!
