C11 The Thirteenth Body

If it was a coincidence, they would definitely not believe it. What was the relationship between the Hu family and the corpse under the water?

"Where is Hu Shisan?" Tonghua asked.

Caiang's face turned pale. The intense pain she felt when she was in a state of grief was like a hammer smashing into her chest, making it difficult for her to breathe. The cold air entered her throat and made her feel pain in her heart and lungs. "Follow Yan Tine and find them first."

Jiang Louyue stood at the side and reached out her hand to support Caiang, who was about to fall. Just as her fingers touched Caiang's elbow, Caiang was stunned and dodged it. She gritted her teeth and straightened her back. Other than her pale face, there was no pain at all.

The noisy drum beats suddenly stopped. The people around them seemed to have received an order, and they all looked in the direction of the few people.

There were more than a thousand people on the two sides of the Qujiang River. Their eyes were staring at Caiang and the others. Caiang felt her heart sink when she was being stared at by these people. A heavy pressure was pressing down on her shoulders.

Thousand Faces, who was standing on the palanquin, waved the sword in his hand and pointed it at Caiang and the others.

The people on the Qujiang River seemed to have received the order and rushed towards Caiang and the others.

"It's bad. Retreat!" Tonghua was shocked. This thing was too quick-witted to actually dare to use the people of the Qujiang River. How could they not hit it? What if they hurt the innocent?

Jiang Louyue flashed in front of Caisang and slashed at the chest of the first person who had attacked.

Tonghua's expression changed. That was an innocent commoner.

However, no one expected that the blood would not spurt out. That person silently laid on the ground, from his right shoulder to his left armpit. Looking carefully, it was just a paper shell.

Caisang's face was also filled with shock. Looking at the back of the person in front of him, the night wind blew Jiang Louyue's hair, and it landed on Caisang's face. Those light hair made Caisang's face go numb.

Jiang Louyue had recognized that the person in front of him was not a human, but a Thousand Faces? Or did he not care whether the person in front of him was a human or a ghost? His killing intent was actually so strong?

Caisang did not have time to think. Jiang Louyue had already recovered. He grabbed Caisang's waist with one hand and retreated, "Capture the king first before capturing the Thousand Faces on the palanquin."

"Leave it to me." Tonghua nodded and formed a seal with his hand. Previously, he had already used some tricks on these Thousand Faces to deal with the situation in front of him.

The net of the heavens descended, and the Thousand Faces on the palanquine was tightly bound. Its body trembled and struggled, and it was actually competing with Tonghua in terms of Spiritual Force.

In the blink of an eye, those people had already arrived in front of Caisang and the others.

Caisang raised his foot and kicked away two of them. He waved his short knife towards the left, and the feeling of the knife cutting into flesh was different. Caisang hurriedly pulled out his knife and retreated. The blade was stained with a glaring amount of blood.

"What a cunning thing! How do you tell when you control the people and the Thousand Faces to attack together?"

Jiang Louyue suddenly grabbed Caisang and retreated into the river. The controlled people didn't stop and directly rushed towards the river. They were like puppets without Spiritual Sense, sinking into the river wave after wave.

Jiang Louyue held a long sword in one hand and grabbed Caisang's arm with the other. "Even if the Thousand Faces has a Spiritual Sense, no matter how similar it is to humans, it is still difficult to distinguish them. There are ways to distinguish them. The people who sink into the water are all flesh and blood, and those who float on the water are all dead."

"Then what about the people in the water? We don't care anymore?" Caisang looked at the ripples on the surface of the river and felt her heart sink.

"We can't do anything about this situation. Those who are near the river know how to swim. I just hope that they can regain their consciousness after being shocked by the cold water and float up on their own."

Jiang Louyue's voice was calm, and the expression on his face did not change at all. It was as if the lives of these thousands of people were no different from ants in his heart.

Caisang did not speak for a long time. Her lips were pressed into a line, and she suddenly broke away from her opponent's grip. She took two steps back and said coldly, "When you woke up, I felt that something was wrong with you. The lightning that happened half a month ago actually made your good and evil thoughts disappear completely?!"

"Jiang Louyue, you really disappoint me!"

Every word was loud and clear.

Caisang's eyebrows were vertical. Jiang Louyue was forced to look straight into her eyes, afraid that she would see her own despicable reflection in her eyes.

"The bone formation is underwater. This formation just happens to suppress you. If I go down, you won't be able to resist these Thousand Faces. If you go down, you will only be attacked by the killing formation. I don't care about good or evil. I don't care about the people of Qujiang. I only care about you. If you go down, you won't be able to save the people of Qujiang. You will lose your life inside!"

Cai Sang glanced at him and turned her head into the river.

In an instant, her entire body felt cold.

She couldn't tell if the cold from her heart had spread to her limbs or if the cold from her limbs had spread to her heart. She only felt her hands and feet trembling, and she was unable to calm down.

She had been married to Jiang family for three months, and her relationship with Jiang Louyue was not good. In the past three months, the two of them had not spoken much.

No matter how much she disliked Jiang Louyue, she could not deny that Jiang Louyue was the most outstanding person in the younger generation.

In the past, Jiang Louyue was honest and straightforward. He had repaired evil and brought justice. He had his own character.

But now that she woke up, she was really a different person.

Jiang Louyue also wanted to go down to find her, but the Thousand Faces had already come over. They were like a group of flies that smelled sweetness. They repelled one wave, and then another wave came over.

Jiang Louyue looked at the small round barrier that lit up under the water.

Caisang had stuffed the Water Repelling Talisman into the clothes of the commoners. This way, even if they were underwater, they could still breathe.

However, how many Water Repelling Talismans did she have in her hands? How many could she save if these people kept jumping into the water?

The longer she stayed in the water, the more dangerous Caisang would be.

A few wrinkles appeared on Jiang Louyue's forehead. He swept his sword across and stepped on a Thousand Faces. He then jumped into the crowd.

The commoners jumped into the water like puppets with broken strings. They could not get orders from others and could only stay in the water. They could not breathe. Without the Water Repelling Talisman, these people would die in less than ten minutes.

After Caisang finished distributing the Water Repelling Talismans in her hands, she realized that there were no more commoners jumping into the water.

She raised her head and looked up. The water was sparkling and there was not a single shadow on the surface. It must be Jiang Louyue who had attracted the Thousand Faces to somewhere else.

Caisang was about to bring the commoners out of the water when the iron chains suddenly came out of the mud like a soft snake and wrapped around Caisang's ankles, dragging her back.

Caisang was shocked and hurriedly pulled out her knife to stab into the mud. The mud was too soft and could not stop her body.

The iron chains seemed to have sensed that she wanted to struggle, so they wrapped around her tighter.

"Crack."

The sound of bones being crushed came out. Caisang opened her mouth and the bones in her calf were crushed in an instant. The sharp pain made her brain go blank. She screamed for a long time before she finally came out.

"Ahhh!"

The iron chain swung and threw Caisang into the center of the formation.

Countless bones stretched out their hands and grabbed Caisang's limbs, pulling her down fiercely.

The iron chain wrapped her tightly and threw her into the mud, becoming one of the many white bones in the center.

Caisang wanted to scream, but the bones blocked her mouth, ears, and eyes, sealing off her senses.

She could not see or hear anything, as if she was going to remain in the darkness forever.
