In the woods.
As the Sacred Girl's cold voice echoed, the surrounding air seemed to stagnate, and the temperature dropped several degrees instantly.
Eeveryone's body slightly trembled, holding their breath and not daring to make a sound, fearing the Sacred Girl's gaze upon them.
Swallowing hard, Elder Qing looked desperate and said hoarsely, "It was me who ruined the Sacred Girl's plan and the Holy Sect's plan. To atone for my sins, I am willing to offer my body as food for the insects and use my cultivation and Inner Strength to cultivate a Blood Jade Centipede for the Sacred Girl.
However, I ask that the Sacred Girl leave my clan and family out of this, as I alone bear the responsibility for my actions."
Hearing this statement, the Sacred Girl's expression softened somewhat, and she nodded, "Very well, as long as the sacred insect is cultivated successfully, I will not seek revenge on your family and tribe."
"Thank you, Sacred Girl."
