Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 222 The Truth of Distorted Time and Space

We were pulled through the woods, and the view suddenly opened up before us.

The wooden houses scattered along both sides of the road looked quite old, and people dressed in animal skins and linen clothes like Nunu looked at the strangely dressed Wu Zhao with curiosity.

"Nunu, who is this?"

"She's so beautiful, and her clothes are so unique. Is she from another village?"

"Did you come here to participate in the sacrificial ceremony?"

Hearing occasional soft noises, Wu Zhao subtly turned his gaze away from these people.

It's a very peaceful village; you can't sense any malice at all.

The cleanliness made her feel quite uneasy...

Nunu led her quickly to an open square, which was somewhat messy, with some neatly cut stones and firewood scattered around.

Wu Zhao's gaze was drawn to the tall, slender figure in the center of the square.

The man had his back to Wu Zhao, with long silver hair cascading over his shoulders, the ends of which were tied with a black rope, from which two golden-red beads dangled.

He wore a long, dark robe that shimmered with a faint golden sheen in the sunlight. He looked completely out of place among those around him.

Even from just a glimpse of his back, Wu Zhao recognized who it was.

“Junwu…”

Nunu also saw the figure, and her eyes lit up with excitement.

"Master High Priest!"

Her clear and energetic voice attracted the attention of the busy people in the square.

The silver-haired figure also turned around.

On that familiar face, a pair of golden eyes were beautiful yet filled with endless coldness.

However, that indifference rippled slightly when it touched Nunu.

When his gaze fell upon Wu Zhao, a hint of surprise appeared in his golden eyes.

...It really is Junwu.

Seeing those eyes and that face, Wu Zhao could hardly believe it.

But this Junwu seemed somewhat different from the Junwu she remembered...

This Junwu is more like the cold incarnation of the majesty of Heaven.

There was no emotion or fluctuation whatsoever.

"High Priest, this outsider has come to participate in the village's sacrificial ceremony!"

"She looks very special. Could she be from the same place as the High Priest?"

Nunu pushed Wu Zhao in front of her and asked with a smile.

Her gaze toward Junwu was filled with admiration and curiosity, and a hint of deep fascination was also visible.

"Who are you?"

The high priest's voice was deep and magnetic, and his gaze toward Wu Zhao held a hint of doubt.

He seemed somewhat incredulous at the sudden appearance of Wu Zhao, and was fidgeting with his fingers as if calculating something.

Wu Zhao thought for a moment, “A… passerby who stumbled upon this place.”

"I have long admired the illustrious reputation of High Priest Junwu and have come here specifically to witness the ceremony."

Passerby?

Accidental entry?

"Guests are welcome. Since you wish to attend the sacrificial ceremony, please stay in the village for now."

Junwu's eyes flickered when he heard Wu Zhao call his name.

His fingers twitched slightly, avoiding Wu Zhao's scrutinizing gaze.

Nunu glanced at Junwu and then at Wuzhao, her eyes darting around.

"In that case, let this older sister stay at my house!"

She grabbed Wu Zhao and looked at her with blinking eyes.

"can."

Junwu nodded, agreeing with her suggestion.

Wu Zhao chuckled softly.

Looking at her arm that was being held, she said, "In that case... I'll take my leave."

really interesting.

The great formation actually sent her to an ancient village from an unknown time ago, where she encountered the Heavenly Dao incarnation that had just taken human form.

Nice to meet you, Junwu...

Please advise.

Wu Zhao curled his lips into a smile.

"Hehe, tell me what it's like outside the village, sister?"

"The village chief is very strict; he doesn't allow us to leave the village before we reach adulthood."

Nunu asked, holding onto Wu Zhao's arm.

"There's nothing much outside...."

Wu Zhao thought for a moment, "Don't any outsiders come into your village?"

"Including you, only a few people have come over these past few years... but none of them stayed in the village, only one couple stayed."

"They're still a bit strange. The High Priest only lets them live on the edge of the village... and they rarely come out."

A couple?

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow, but remained silent.

Nunu led her to a wooden house.

"We're here! This is where I live!"

She pointed to one of the small rooms and said, "Sister, you can stay here for now."

The wooden house looks clean and tidy; it's a nice place.

"Thank you."

Wu Zhao touched Nunu's hair and smiled.

……

The loud crowing of roosters at dawn awakened the sleeping crowd.

Wu Xingyun stretched and crawled out of his sleeping bag.

He noticed that Wei Wenxue's spot on the mat next to him was empty.

Rubbing his eyes, Wu Xingyun left the tent.

The Xu brothers were boiling water in the courtyard.

Wei Wenxue and Hu Datian were both in the courtyard, but they didn't see Huo Weiwei and the other girls, nor Professor Wu and his wife.

"Brother Xingyun, you're up."

Seeing him, Wei Wenxue waved and stuffed a slightly hot egg into his hand.

"Luckily, Da Tian was well-prepared and brought some eggs and bread with him. We ate them first to fill our stomachs, since they were freshly cooked."

Wu Xingyun held the egg and looked at Hu Datian with some surprise.

This chubby guy is quite well-prepared.

The three of them huddled together, peeling eggs and chatting.

A moment later, Huo Weiwei's voice suddenly became urgent and tearful as she called out, "Wenwen, Wenwen, what's wrong?"

"Wu Xingyun, come quickly!"

Hearing her exclamation, Wu Xingyun nearly threw away the peeled egg.

I rushed over and saw Huo Weiwei rushing out in a panic.

"Something's wrong! We can't wake Wenwen up no matter what we do, and strange black patterns have suddenly appeared on her face!"

She gripped Wu Xingyun's hand tightly, her face showing great panic.

Before Wu Xingyun could speak, Zhao Lan also walked out of the other room quickly, looking somewhat nervous.

"The teacher and his wife couldn't wake her up either; her condition was exactly the same as Wenwen's."

She looked very nervous and somewhat lost as she glanced at Wei Wenxue and Hu Datian, who were walking up from behind.

"what happened?"

Wei Wenxue put the eggs in Zhao Lan's hand and patted her shoulder to comfort her.

"Don't worry, I'll go check on the teacher and his wife."

As he spoke, he gave Hu Datian a wink.

Then they quickly headed towards the house where Professor Wu and his wife lived.

Huo Weiwei nervously grabbed Wu Xingyun's arm.

"The talisman... has turned black."

She spoke in a very low voice.

Wu Xingyun looked down at the talisman in her hand, which had turned black.

He was also quite uncertain, mainly because he hadn't seen Phoenix's bird yet.

Could something have happened and he ran away on his own?

"Oh dear, what's wrong with you gentlemen?"

“I forgot that no one has lived here for a long time and there are no cooking utensils. That’s why I specially brought some breakfast over.”

Ye Zhao's hoarse voice sounded from outside the door. He pushed the wooden door but it wouldn't budge.

"You've really done a great job repairing this door. Could you please open it for me, sir?"

He had a smile on his face, but that smile had an eerie quality to it.

Hu Datian, who was standing on the far side, was momentarily blank-faced. He then raised his hand and took two steps.

He seemed somewhat dazed.

"stop."

A cold and unfamiliar voice came from nowhere, as if a thunderclap had sounded at the same time.

"Where did this evil spirit come from, daring to use illusions to bewitch humans?"

"That's really courageous."
