Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 768 The King of Liang Arrives

Song Ruozhen frowned. She knew that these spells were banned because they were far too cruel.

Using a child's life to enhance one's own spiritual power is despised by many and is often done by those who prefer crooked and evil ways.

In fact, Song Ruozhen didn't care about the distinction between righteous and evil paths. No matter what method it was, it was beneficial as long as it could improve cultivation. However, it was too despicable to take the lives of innocent people.

Yunyang and the others were all people who had seen life and death before, but after listening to Song Ruozhen recount the whole incident, they were all filled with righteous indignation.

On the battlefield, men fight to protect women and children.

However, here, someone used such a vicious method to torture and kill children, and the women of the entire Mingyue Village suffered even more.

Their existence is like that of a breeding machine; their value is only realized by giving birth to children. The fate of women who cannot have children is predictable.

Even if a woman is able to have children, if she is chosen by the mountain god, she will suffer the pain of separation from her child. If she is not chosen, she will be looked down upon by her husband's family.

Regardless of the type, it is destined to be unbearable pain.

"Because more and more children have been sacrificed in recent years, many girls have secretly run away after they grow up. So many of the women who marry into Mingyue Village later were tricked into it."

Yunyang took the opportunity to investigate today. These women who were tricked into coming here were even more pitiful. Of course, some of them were gradually assimilated and became like Aunt Zhao...

Li Xiu'e, who was standing nearby, overheard their conversation and realized that it wasn't the mountain god at all, but someone who had deliberately done all of this.

She was horrified. Every villager in Mingyue Village spoke of the mountain god with heartfelt worship; that was the deity in their hearts!

If everything was fake, wouldn't that mean that everything before was just about buying the child's life with money?

"Girls, you'll help me save my children, they'll definitely be alright, right?"

"Don't worry, I definitely will."

Song Ruozhen patted Li Xiue, signaling her to calm down. Looking at the two helpless children on the platform, she could understand Li Xiue's anxiety.

However... the most important thing right now is to find out who is behind this!

Otherwise, if this guy gets away, there will be a second and a third Bright Moon Village.

Guard Yang and Yun Yang kept a close watch on their surroundings; once this person appeared, they had to capture him.

Suddenly, Chu Junting's gaze locked onto one of the directions. "There's movement over there."

Upon hearing this, the others all looked in the direction Chu Junting indicated, but when they saw it, they found it empty and completely silent.

Yunyang glanced at the two people beside him and quietly moved closer to the direction his lord had indicated.

The prince is highly skilled in martial arts. Since he said there was movement, he must be right. It's just that the person was very good at hiding.

"This person is quite strong, so be prepared," Chu Junting said in a deep voice.

As Yunyang and his companions gradually approached the location, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly echoed from the foot of the mountain.

"Guards, arrest them all!"

The King of Liang and the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, along with a large entourage of officials, surrounded the villagers on the mountain.

"Why did they come?"

When Chu Junting saw the crowd below, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that many officials were also searching on the mountaintop, and the commotion completely overshadowed the mastermind behind the scenes.

"Yunyang, arrest him!"

Chu Junting shouted angrily, "These guys aren't here to help, they're clearly here to cause trouble!"

Yunyang also realized something was wrong. This guy clearly didn't come with the main group; he must be the mastermind behind it all!

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review and Prince Xiao came with Prince Liang. The reason they came was twofold: firstly, Master Qingfeng had calculated that the cause was in Mingyue Village; secondly, they had learned that Prince Chu had also gone to Mingyue Village.

After witnessing Master Qingfeng's so-called "abilities," they didn't believe him at all. However, after learning that the King of Chu and his wife had also gone to Mingyue Village, they had no choice but to believe him.

This surprised them greatly. They had thought that Master Qingfeng was just a good-for-nothing, but they never expected that he could actually calculate some things.

Not only that, King Liang also said that the villagers of Mingyue were fierce and he was worried that King Chu and his group would be in danger, so the group rushed over in a hurry.

They had been somewhat worried because they hadn't seen the King of Chu and his entourage, but upon hearing the commotion coming from the mountain, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really here!"

Upon seeing that the King of Chu had sent men to arrest people, the King of Liang hurriedly said, "Did you hear that? Why aren't you going to help?"

When Liang Wang's men saw this, they rushed to help, but visibility was poor in the darkness, not to mention that the surrounding area was all mountains and forests, making it no easy task to find someone.

At this moment, a group of people appeared in the mountains and forests, but not only did they find it difficult to catch their target, they also wasted time because they mistook one person for another.

"Guard Yang, take good care of the Princess." Chu Junting instructed, patted Song Ruozhen's hand, and then followed after her.

Song Ruozhen's eyes darkened slightly as she looked down at the benevolent Prince Liang, a knowing glimmer of understanding crossing her mind.

She had said that it was strange for Prince Liang to interfere in the affairs of Tianci Nunnery for no apparent reason, and after seeing his actions today, she knew the answer.

It seems that the mastermind behind Mingyue Village is actually connected to King Liang.

"No wonder she's a ruthless viper; all the people she trains are just as heartless!"

Qi Qingyi was quite pleased with herself at this moment. "I knew Master Qingfeng was capable, but cultivators have many limitations. She said the root of the problem was in Mingyue Village, and she was right!"

Tang Xuening looked on with admiration, "Master Qingfeng is truly talented. I never imagined that a sacrifice was taking place here. Could those remains be those children?"

Song Ruozhen glanced at the two of them. Even though she didn't know what had happened while they were gone, it wasn't hard to guess that Prince Liang must have invited someone with real skills.

"Princess Consort of Chu, please come down quickly, don't stay up there any longer," Qi Qingyi said.

Song Ruozhen followed Guard Yang and his group to the altar. At this moment, all the villagers of Mingyue Village looked terrified.

"Why are the government officials here? Who leaked the information?"

The village chief was furious, his face turning ashen. His gaze swept over everyone, and the moment he saw Song Ruozhen, he glared fiercely at Zhao Daliang.

As expected, that unreliable bastard!

Zhao Daliang's eyes widened in shock as he pointed at Song Ruozhen, "You... how could you be here?"
