e it concerns the entire royal family's honor."Dugu Xiu said, "The betrothal ceremony has already been held. If the princess is kidnapped before the wedding, and this gets out, wouldn't the entire roy...As the holy beast Qilin, Meqi's intelligence is no less than that of humans. However, she lacks cunning and experience in scheming and intrigue.

If he seizes this opportunity to strike, he will surely be able to kill the Ghost Summoning Daoist in one fell swoop.

But his sudden rage, coupled with worry for Lan Bingyu's safety, prevented him from taking action.

The Soul Stealer, being cunning and crafty, immediately seized this opportunity. Realizing his strength was no match for the opponent, he vanished in a flash and appeared before Lan Bingyu, pressing a black short blade against her neck.

"Hey, don't come any closer, or I swear I'll kill her!"

"If you dare to touch her, I'll dismember you a thousand pieces!"

Mei Qi's eyes were bloodshot, her mouth roaring in fury, but her feet remained rooted to the spot, unable to take another step forward.

Xiaoqing didn't want to be controlled by others, but seeing his nervous look, she also stopped.

The Ghoul Daoist's heart, which had been hanging by a thread, finally settled. Since the other party cared so much about this woman, he was safe.

"Want me to let her go I can, but you have to do what the old man says."

Mei Qi hissed in a low voice, “What do you want to do”

"What are you doing You just broke my arm, now I'm going to break yours, or I'll cut her head off right now!"

In terms of strength, he was eighteen streets behind Meiqi. But if it came to scheming, Meiqi was a hundred thousand and eight thousand miles behind him. Little did she know that the old Daoist was testing her limits.

Lan Bingyu saw something was wrong and hurriedly called out, "Don't, you mustn't believe him!"

Meiling gritted her teeth: “Will you let her go if I cut off my own arm”

The Ghostly Taoist chuckled, "This is just the condition you proposed to me. Only after you forfeit an arm will I be in a good mood to continue our conversation."

Xiaqing hurriedly said, "Don't be foolish! I'll kill him now!"

"Don't worry about it, I'll handle this myself."

Meiqi reached out to stop Xiaoqing, then with a sudden movement of her right hand, she struck her left arm. With a sickening crack, the left arm was shattered in two.

A wave of intense pain washed over him, but he merely furrowed his brow, not uttering a single sound.

"You...are you an idiot Why would you do that"

Lan Bingyu let out a furious roar, tears streaming down her face once again. She didn't understand why this man, whom she had just met for the first time, would make such a huge sacrifice for her.

"Can she be released now"

Meiling's voice was low, filled with anger, but more so with worry for Lan Bingyu.

If he were in the Immortal Realm or the Chaotic Saint Realm, he could directly unleash his powerful aura, but he couldn't here.

Once he exerts even one tenth of his power, the space of Earth would collapse. Let alone the Ghost Summoning Daoist, even Blue Ice Feather wouldn't be able to withstand it.

Under immense pressure, he was forced to submit to others.

"Good, truly loyal and compassionate."

The Ghostly Daoist became increasingly pleased, it seemed he had completely grasped the other party's weakness. Since this was the case, there was no need to rush to escape. The more benefits he could reap, the better.

"I could let her go, but then how would you get revenge on me"

Meiqi immediately said, "I swear to heaven, if you let her go, I will leave immediately."

Though he hated the old Taoist before him, Blue Ice Feather's life was more important.

The old Daoist shook his head. "That won't do, I don't believe what you say. Here's how it is: You disable your own legs, then when I leave you won't be able to catch up, that way it'll be a guarantee."

Lan Bingyu immediately called out: "Fool, don't listen to him!"

Meiqi hesitated a little. At this moment, the Ghost Summoning Taoist's expression turned cold and grim, "Are you willing If you don't do as I say, I'll break this woman's legs right now!"

Meiqi gritted her teeth, grabbed an iron rod from the ground, and slammed it down on her own legs. With a sickening crack, both legs shattered into four pieces, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Fool! Madman! What are you doing!"

Lan Bingyu roared in anger, she couldn't understand for the life of her, this man could truly do anything. Such a huge sacrifice was all for her.

Meiqin sat on the ground, her eyes fiercely staring at the Ghost-Capturing Old Daoist: "Can you release him now"

"Well, he's quite the romantic, isn't he He'd do anything for a woman."

"The ghost-hunting Daoist let out a cold, sinister smile. 'Breaking your legs isn't enough, after all, you still have strength. Here's how it is: blind yourself with your own eyes, and I'll immediately release you and let you go.'"

"This is absolutely unacceptable!"

Xiaoqing immediately stood up in opposition, saying that Meqi was physically strong and could even recover quickly from broken arms and legs. It wasn't a big deal.

"Once your eyes are poked blind, even Big Bro wouldn't be able to heal them. This is serious business."

"My business is none of your concern!"

Mei Qi, however, seemed possessed as if, reaching out, she grabbed a short knife from beside her.

"No!"

Seeing that he was really going to follow what the Ghostly Daoist said, Lan Bingyu couldn't bear it anymore. She suddenly rushed forward and rammed her short knife against him.ve and incredibly fast, like a meteor crashing through the sky, unstoppable in its momentum.Cao Zhen had just regained his composure, but faced with this fierce onslaught, there was no time to dodge.A...
