Reincarnated as a Mosquito, the School Beauty I Sucked to Tears is a Reborn Empress

Chu Sheng also looked toward the portrait.

The portrait depicted a twisted, semi-humanoid figure. After staring at it for just a few seconds, countless frantic whispers seemed to echo in his mind.

”GIBBER, GIBBER.”

Most people who heard such whispers would likely be corrupted by them.

But Chu Sheng was... a little speechless.

’What the hell is this gibberish? And what’s with this demonic-looking scribble? Looks like it was painted with blood?’

Gu Yuexi glanced at Chu Sheng. Seeing that he was unaffected, she spoke.

”This is... the Evil God.”

”It’s a god worshipped by the Alien Race.”

In her previous life, Gu Yuexi had never directly faced the so-called ”Evil God,” but she had heard of its deeds!

In her previous life, the Evil God had appeared in a small country and annihilated it completely. Later, an expert at the Emperor Realm had to pay a tremendous price just to seal it away.

To think that in this life, it would actually appear in Sui Ming Province!

Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng walked inside and got a clear look at the entire ancestral hall.

Rather than an ancestral hall...

It was more like a sacrificial altar!

Chen Ming, who had just vanished, was now sitting cross-legged in the center of the altar, his back to them, facing the portrait.

His hands were formed in a bizarre seal technique. Wisps of eerie energy surged from beneath the altar and out of the portrait, continuously flowing into his body!

His severed left arm was actually regrowing at a rapid pace, and his aura began to climb once more!

But what was even more chilling was...

Below the altar, dozens of elderly men and women sat packed together, cross-legged! They all looked gaunt and withered, their faces ashen.

A stream of dark red energy was being drawn from the crown of each of their heads, slowly flowing toward the malevolent portrait.

Holy crap!

’What’s going on here?’

Chu Sheng was dumbfounded, a deep sense of unease rising within him.

’These people... they can’t all be members of the Chen Family, can they?’

”A sacrifice.”

Gu Yuexi’s eyes were icy as she slowly uttered two words.

She glanced around and continued,

”Clearly, the Chen Family has gone insane.”

”To resurrect Chen Ming, the Chen Family must have obtained this vile sacrificial method from somewhere. They managed to summon a sliver of the Alien Race’s Evil God’s Will to descend upon Chen Ming’s corpse.”

”That’s why Chen Ming was ’resurrected.’”

”But he hasn’t truly been resurrected. It’s just the descended Evil God’s Will, fused with some of his lingering memories.”

’Huh?’

’Sacrificing their entire clan just to resurrect one Chen Ming?’

’This whole family is fucking insane.’

”The greater the power of the sacrifice, the more Energy Chen Ming can absorb. At the same time, a greater portion of the Evil God’s Will can descend.”

”The Chen Family deserved to die from the start.”

”And now, their deaths are an absolute necessity!”

Gu Yuexi spoke coldly as she walked toward the center of the altar.

With her current strength, it would be impossible for her to resist the Alien Race’s Evil God.

However, the Evil God should have only sent down a minuscule sliver of its will for now. There was still time!

She had to execute Chen Ming immediately and sever his connection to the otherworldly Evil God!

Gu Yuexi didn’t usually meddle in others’ business, but this was something she had to stop!

However, just as she and Chu Sheng were about to act—

Below the altar, among the Chen Clan Members sitting cross-legged like mummified corpses, an old, white-haired woman in relatively fine clothes suddenly snapped her eyes open!

Her eyes held no spark of life, only bone-deep resentment and madness.

She glared fixedly at Gu Yuexi, her voice hoarse and piercing.

”Gu Yuexi... You... you already killed my grandson once... Do you intend to kill him a second time?”

”I bet you didn’t expect this! The heir of my Chen Family will never be extinguished!”

”Since you’re here, you might as well stay and become sacrifices for our clan’s resurgence!”

The moment her voice fell, all the withered Chen Clan Members seated below the altar raised their heads in unison, fixing Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi with the same, incredibly venomous gazes.

One by one, they rose to their feet, just like zombies...

”BZZZT? What the hell?”

’Are these people dead or alive?’

Watching this scene, Chu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine. This feeling was completely different from facing a powerful Demon Beast.

Gu Yuexi’s eyes were frigid. ”They’re alive, but they might as well be dead!”

Suddenly, a piercing shriek echoed from the altar—it was the old woman. The next second...

Dozens of Chen Clan Members charged madly toward Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi!

...

Facing the dozens of Chen Clan Members charging at them like walking corpses, Gu Yuexi’s expression didn’t waver in the slightest.

”Courting death.”

She formed a sword with her fingers, and her Mental Power condensed into a volley of sharp Flying Swords that she sent slashing forward.

The first few members of the Chen Family to reach them, despite their seemingly weak Life Force, suddenly burst forward with astonishing speed and power!

Their eyes were blood-red, and they seemed to have lost all reason. Under the altar’s influence, their combat prowess was unnaturally high.

Clearly!

They had all seemingly been empowered by the Evil God. The strength of these Chen Clan Members was actually all at the Fifth-Grade or higher, and there were even a few at the Seventh-Grade Early Stage.

”BZZZZ! (Holy shit! Are they on steroids or something?)”

Chu Sheng also found the situation tricky. These people felt no pain and had no fear of death; they were simply using their lives to stall for time!

He vibrated his wings, once again unleashing a sky full of Soul-Bursting Flame Feathers. Although the attached Divine Path Purifying Flame was effective against these people and caused them immense pain, they were completely frenzied. Even if you chopped off their legs, they would still crawl toward you!

Everything, it seemed, was a tactic to stall for time.

To buy time for Chen Ming, in the center of the altar, to absorb the Evil God’s power.

Under the frenzied assault of these Chen Clan Members, even Chu Sheng, going at Fifth Gear, was pinned down.

Gu Yuexi’s face was grim as she looked toward the center of the altar.

The dark red light enveloping Chen Ming was growing ever brighter, and the blood-red portrait seemed to come alive, constantly twisting and squirming.

Moreover, the malevolent pressure emanating from Chen Ming was steadily increasing!

’We can’t delay any longer!’

”Damned mosquito! Ignore them and go stop Chen Ming!”

”BZZZT! (Fine, but you’ll have to hold them off on your own!)”

As soon as he responded, Chu Sheng’s figure flickered and vanished into thin air.

The next second, he appeared above Chen Ming’s head. At the same time, a massive Soul-Bursting Flame Feather had already taken shape.

”NO!!!”

Seeing this, the old woman in the lead let out a piercing shriek.

Then, she suddenly shot out a hand, grabbed one of the Chen Clan Members beside her, and crushed his heart!

At the same time, all the other Chen Clan Members stopped their attack. They all reached out and plunged their hands into their own chests.

’A sacrifice?’

A bizarre scene unfolded!

With the deaths of these Chen Clan Members...

VMMMM—!

A burst of red Energy erupted from the center of the altar, violently flinging Chu Sheng away.

The next second.

Chen Ming’s body slowly turned around. His closed eyes gradually opened, revealing eyes that were entirely scarlet red.

It was an impossibly deep, rich scarlet.

His eyes glanced at Chu Sheng, then shifted to Gu Yuexi.

The corners of his mouth slowly curled upward, his face twisting into an incredibly sinister smile.
