The miasma blocked the sun, the sky and the earth were dark, there was no grass growing anywhere, and there were jagged rocks. Only a river flowing westward stretched before her eyes.
Crossing this river would lead to the legendary Fengdu City.
Zhao Shining swallowed the blood rising in her throat and looked back breathlessly.
No one was chasing her, and no one noticed her escape.
The biting cold wind blew her long hair away, and the black hair scattered on her shoulders merged into the endless darkness. She bit the jade hairpin that bound her hair in her mouth, and the sweat on her forehead slowly fell down her temples, but her body was trembling with extreme excitement. As long as
she crossed the Bitter Water River, she would reach the territory of the Demon Lord Qi Bumian, and she could completely get rid of the control of her master.
The Bitter River is bottomless, and the sound of the wind is rolling up the waves, making them sob. It is said that countless souls who died in vain are buried in the Bitter River. Their hatred is too heavy, and they cannot cross the river, so they cannot reach Fengdu City to reincarnate.
Zhao Shining took a tentative step towards the river bank. The faint sobbing sound suddenly became harsh, as if the wronged souls hiding at the bottom of the river could not wait to claim her life.
She screamed and steadied her steps in fear, but the jade hairpin in her mouth fell into the turbid river water.
Before the hairpin touched the water surface, it was instantly turned into powder.
Fortunately, it was a hairpin that fell down. If it was a living person like her...
She shuddered and her legs went weak.
Even so, Zhao Shining had no way out. If she returned to Changliu Mountain, her master would stab her to death with a sword if he knew she had escaped.
Just like in a dream.
Zhao Shining walked along the river bank for a long time without giving up. When she looked up, she could see a faint fire floating on the wide river.
As the fire got closer, she finally saw the boat sailing steadily on the water. The boatman was wearing a bamboo hat and rowing slowly. The raging waves were rolling with the roar of the wronged souls, which could annihilate everything in the world, but could not shake the boat at all.
"Guests going to the underworld, why don't you get on the boat quickly?"
Zhao Shining had no time to think about it and jumped on the boat docked on the shore.
After she sat down completely, she realized it later and felt a chill on her back.
Guests...?
Wasn't she the only one on the shore just now? Where did the "people" come from?
Is there something else on the boat now? ! It would
have been fine if she didn't think about it at first, but now she thought about it and felt a gloomy and sticky feeling behind her, as if something was staring at him covetously.
Zhao Shining tried hard to control her fear. She could only curl up her numb body as much as possible and said to the boatman.
"Boatman, can you row faster? I'm in a hurry."
She was in a hurry to find the Demon Lord to surrender, and then betray the world of immortal cultivation with a bang, and from then on she would become a free and evil demon cultivator.
After Zhao Shining finished speaking, she didn't know if it was an illusion, but the boatman seemed to glance at her.
The air around her condensed inch by inch, as if it had condensed into a ball of ice.
"...living...people."
A hoarse and gloomy voice suddenly sounded behind her. With the dim light on the bow, Zhao Shining could see the shadow reflected on the boat.
It was not hers, but the other "guests" who were on the same boat with her.
The monster's neck stretched to an incredible length, like a winding snake body, with a human head on top that kept making "giggle" laughter, and it got closer and closer to Zhao Shining.
The stench of blood hit her face, and she almost vomited. The instinct for survival forced her to keep fleeing, and finally she had no way to retreat and bumped into the boatman's body.
The stench dissipated a little, and she faintly smelled the fragrance of Ye Tan. She immediately grabbed the boatman's clothes tightly and never let go, tears in her eyes.
"You should take care of your guests, they want to eat me!"
She was just a useless person in the Qi Refining Period. In the nearly ten years in Changliu, let alone the skills of exorcising demons and demons, she didn't even learn to fly with a sword. The dignity and pride of a cultivator were all gone in Zhao Shining, and her master had never taught her these.
"Let go."
His voice was cold and hard, and the moment he spoke, he also shocked the monster that was spying on her.
Zhao Shining also saw the scene on the boat clearly. In addition to the long-necked monster, there were three or four "people" sitting behind her.
The waves in the middle of the river gradually subsided, replaced by thick fog, and a vast expanse of white enveloped the boat.
She sensed that the boatman's cultivation was unfathomable, so she became more determined to hide behind him, and simply pulled the corner of his clothes tighter.
"I won't let go. If I let go, I will be eaten immediately. As long as we can reach the shore, it will be fine."
"There is no living thing in Fengdu City. Even if you get ashore, you will not survive."
The boatman sneered and pinched the long-necked monster's neck with his bare hands. With a light pinch, the flesh and blood burst instantly, like a bloody rain, and also dyed the surrounding white mist red.
"Noisy." He said in a light voice.
The other ghosts on the boat all trembled.
There was no need for him to reprimand her. Zhao Shining took the initiative to loosen the corner of his clothes, and she also saw his murderous intention towards her.
As expected, the next moment, Zhao Shining was also mercilessly strangled by his magic energy. The thick magic energy wrapped around her neck, getting tighter and tighter.
Her tears rolled down from her eyes. The pain of difficulty breathing made her unable to speak, and she could only squeeze out a few words intermittently.
"You...can't kill me...my master...is...Xie Linzhuo..."
As soon as the voice fell, the boatman suddenly let go of her, lifted his bamboo hat, revealing a young and handsome face.
I thought he was an old man, but I didn't expect him to be a young man who looked only sixteen or seventeen years old.
The suffocating force suddenly dissipated. Zhao Shining covered her chest and coughed continuously, and a few drops of blood were dotted on her fair skin.
With the dim light, Zhao Shining saw his golden animal eyes.
"You...are Wanshu?"
She asked tentatively in a hoarse voice.
Wan Shu didn't expect that she recognized him, but he didn't admit it directly, but asked back: "You just said you are Xie Linzhuo's apprentice?"
His pair of golden eyes locked tightly on her, looking a little scary in the dark, she couldn't help but think of Wan Shu's true identity... like a ferocious black tiger.
Wan Shu is the black tiger raised by the Demon Lord Qi Bumian, and is also Qi Bumian's most trusted subordinate. At a young age, he commands millions of demon soldiers in the demon world, and his ferocious reputation spreads throughout the fairy world.
Zhao Shining was afraid and a little regretful. If she had known that she would encounter such a demon, she would not have run away.
At least Xie Linzhuo didn't have the habit of pinching people with his bare hands.
"Yes, I am indeed Xie Linzhuo's apprentice. I have a restriction imposed by him. You can find out once you explore."
Zhao Shining wiped the blood with his sleeves, still a little frightened.
Wan Shu saw her timidity and couldn't help wondering how Xie Linzhuo could have such a useless disciple. With this suspicion, he reached out and gently touched her forehead.
A ball of white light slowly jumped out from Zhao Shining's forehead, emitting a chilly frost and a strong sword intent.
Wan Shu wanted to crush the ball of white light, but unexpectedly the white light suddenly became brighter and emitted a sharp sword sound. He was actually bounced back several steps, and a bone-piercing wound was cut on his palm, and bright red blood gushed out.
Zhao Shining's heart skipped a beat. She didn't expect her master to be so strong that he could even hurt Wan Shu.
This is her future boss. What if she offends Tiger? How can she survive in the demon world in the future?
"My Lord, are you okay?"
Her concern was somewhat genuine. Even though she just sat there and did nothing, her expression seemed particularly painful and regretful.
In comparison, Wan Shu's anger was more genuine. When he was angry, his golden animal eyes were stained with flames, like jumping flames.
"You are really Xie Linzhuo's apprentice. Your master and apprentice are really interesting. Your master came here during the day and injured my master, and you came to seek death at night."
Zhao Shining then realized that Xie Linzhuo said he was going on a long journey to fight Qi Bumian in Fengdu City. No wonder the barrier of Wuji Pavilion loosened for a moment, which gave her the opportunity to sneak out. Xie Linzhuo must have been injured.
"Since you want to die, I'll grant your wish."
Wan Shu was about to attack again, but the woman who was timid just now rushed to his side and hugged his... legs.
"What are you doing? Men and women should not touch each other, don't you cultivators understand?" He almost gritted his teeth and said this.
"Sir, who told you to kill me for a disagreement? I'm not here to provoke you this time, I'm here to surrender!"
"I have admired you since I was a child. I have heard a lot of your deeds. I hope that one day I can become a capable general of Lord Demon Lord like you! Add some strength to the expansion of the demon clan!"
Zhao Shining's speech made his blood boil and he almost cried.
Wan Shu finally broke free from her and took a step back in disgust.
"The Demon Realm does not accept traitors, you'd better die."
"But I know my master's weakness! If the Demon Realm can take me in, I can help the Demon Realm deal with Xie Linzhuo. Lord Wan Shu, do you really want to let go of this opportunity? Why don't you take me to see the Demon Lord? Maybe he will be interested.''
Zhao Shining thought of the woman lying in the ice room of Wuji Pavilion, and the excruciating pain of Xie Linzhuo piercing her heart with a sword in her dream. Hatred kept surging in her heart.
This nightmare that has tormented her every night since she was fifteen years old will eventually be torn apart by her own hands.
"Lord Wanshu, I hate Xie Linzhuo, more than you. As long as I can become stronger, I will kill him by any means necessary."
Wanshu was still hesitating. He always felt that the woman in front of him was cunning and a liar who lied at will. Keeping such a traitor without bottom line would be a disaster.
Zhao Shining saw that Wanshu was obviously getting irritated. If his tail was still there, I'm afraid it would have been swinging back and forth.
His tail must be furry.
She thought a little distractedly.
Just when Wanshu was still struggling, he heard the voice from his master.
"Bring her here."
