After being skinned, the first thing they did was forcibly control Jiu Ci.

Because, from the very beginning, Tigu and the others created the illusion that the Four Ghost Gods had to occupy the bodies of living people to survive. Bopi directly controlling Jiu Ci was to reinforce that illusion, making me believe it without a doubt.

At that time, I even thought that the Four Ghost Gods must have been severely injured at some point, forcing them to rely on living people to heal.

I deliberately poisoned Jiu Ci to verify this idea!

Bopi's move made me believe in my judgment.

Then, they made their second move.

The paper figures holding lamps in the forest were actually controlled by the three Ghost Gods. Everything there was a performance for me.

The four of them acted so realistically, not only playing out Bopi's true colors but also abandoning the dignity of Ghost Gods to kneel before the forbidden ground's gate.

The kneeling of the three Ghost Gods not only dispelled my initial doubts but also brought psychological pressure.

Because I didn't know what kind of existence was in the forbidden ground that could make the Ghost Gods submit.

More importantly, I knew nothing about the forbidden ground. At that time, although I appeared calm on the surface, I didn't have any confidence in my heart.

I felt that I was able to knock on the door of the forbidden ground by chance. Once the paper figures discovered that I had no connection with the forbidden ground, they would directly drive me out. At that time, I only had one path: to fight the three Ghost Gods to the death.

I knew very well that I was no match for them. The only thing I could do was to seek a chance of survival in the forbidden ground. Bopi took advantage of this mentality of mine and led me into a trap.

I suffered a loss, justly and unjustly.

That time, I finally understood one thing: Ghost Gods who can survive in a place like a hunting ground are not simple characters, and they no longer blindly believe in absolute power. Compared to ordinary ghosts, they are more intelligent and better at using their brains.

Once I understood this, I calmed down.

My master once said that I have a characteristic: the closer I get to life and death, the easier it is for me to calm down.

Perhaps I still had a chance of survival, and that chance lay with Mo Caiwei. It's just...

When I looked at Mo Caiwei holding me, tears were streaming down her cheeks. Fortunately, the water droplets constantly dripping from her hair concealed her tears, and Tigu mistook her for a tomb-guarding ghost spirit, so she wasn't exposed on the spot.

Mo Caiwei held me and transmitted her voice: "Li Po, what should I do?"

Mo Caiwei immediately added, "Don't worry, we are in the paper bridge formation. They can't hear us."

I breathed a sigh of relief, "How much inheritance did you get?"

"I can't get in!" Mo Caiwei said, "My blood can't open the secret realm. Getting here is already my limit."

"There is a very terrifying existence in the secret realm. He was talking to me just now. He said that I have Mo family blood in my body, but the bloodline is too thin and I don't have the right to inherit the blood-soaked paper puppet."

"However, he can lend me strength because of the connection between me and the Mo family. As for what I do, he won't interfere."

"I can't think of any other way, so I can only change my appearance to save you first. But I don't know what to do next?"

"The power that person lent me won't last long. Hurry up and think of a way!"

Mo Caiwei's answer made my heart sink again. I originally thought she had received the inheritance in the secret realm, but now it seems that the person in the secret realm only gave her a portion of their power.

The person in the secret realm won't help her too much. This bit of goodwill isn't even enough for them to take action.

As my mind was racing, Tigu said again, "Mo Caiwei, I'll give you three breaths. If you don't come out, I'll break your master's arm first."

"I know that you and your master have depended on each other for many years, and your relationship is like father and daughter. If possible, I don't want to be so extreme. But when it comes to life and death, I can only resort to this."

Tigu paused here and whispered to Bopi, "Should you use your ability to predict good and bad luck? I always feel uneasy."

Bopi smiled and said, "You've been living in peace for too long, haven't you? I can stand here, which means nothing will happen."

Gerou, who hadn't spoken, said coldly, "You said that last time too! As a result, the three of us were sealed into the Yellow Springs Mouth with that Zhi Nan, but you ran away."

"That's because you're stupid!" Bopi said coldly, "Didn't I remind you last time?"

"You..." Gerou was about to say something else, but Tigu stopped him, "Gerou, shut up, we are old friends reunited, don't make it so tense."

Tigu paused for a moment before saying sternly, "Mo Caiwei, do you not care about your master's life or death? Then I'm going to kill someone."

As Mo Caiwei slowly clenched her hands, I also transmitted my voice: "Tell him you need to consider it."

Mo Caiwei immediately used the Thousand Mile Voice Transmission technique, letting her voice echo in the air: "Wait a moment, I need to consider it."

Tigu on the shore couldn't help but frown.
