Wan Shu no longer hesitated, picked up Zhao Shining's collar with one hand, flew up, and stepped through the void.
Zhao Shining was like a cat with fate strangled by the neck, unable to break free. In the blink of an eye, the world around her had changed.
The boat that was originally swaying in the thick fog disappeared, and in front of her was replaced by a solemn and majestic palace. Ghost soldiers wearing black helmets and heavy armor were guarding in front of the palace with long spears. Zhao Shining finally stood firm, looked down, and felt dizzy again. There were
thousands of steps carved from white jade. Demonic and ghostly auras were diffused on this long step that was like a ladder to heaven. With Zhao Shining's cultivation, she could only see the thick black fog, and it seemed that something unspeakable was hidden in the fog.
She opened her eyes wide and saw an extremely terrifying scene. The scene in front of her gradually became blurred, as if countless blood-stained tentacles emerged from the black fog and rushed towards her at a very fast speed, as if to drag her into the abyss.
Wan Shu patted her shoulder heavily and said unhappily, "Your cultivation is so low, just watch if you are not afraid of death."
The horrifying scene receded like a tide, and Zhao Shining suddenly woke up, silently took a step back, raised his hand to rub his painful shoulder, and complained in a low voice, "Can't you be gentler?"
Wan Shu's eyes were sharper than a knife. He glanced at Zhao Shining coldly, sneered, and pushed the door open.
"Go in quickly, the master wants to see you."
Zhao Shining did not move immediately after hearing this, but kept pacing at the door, hesitating whether to go in. It was one thing for her to go to the Demon Lord in Changliu Mountain, and it was another thing to really see Qi Bumian now.
It was rumored that Qi Bumian was an evil soul that crawled out of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Cave in hell, and swallowed tens of thousands of evil ghosts in the eighteen layers of hell. The ghost body formed by countless grievances looked extremely terrifying.
Not only that, his character is even more terrifying. Qi Bumian killed the original Fengdu Emperor and replaced him. After being in power for less than a hundred years, he turned to attack the demons and suppressed the rebellious demons with thunder. It is said that the corpses in the demon world piled up into mountains and blood flowed into rivers. To this day, the blood river has not dried up.
Zhao Shining couldn't help but feel a chill on her back when she thought of this. Who knows if she accidentally said something wrong... Will she be killed by Qi Bumian.
But Wan Shu did not give Zhao Shining a chance to hesitate. He just snapped his fingers lightly, and Zhao Shining's legs had already stepped uncontrollably and walked quickly into the palace.
"Want to escape? There is no way." The young man hugged his hands in front of his chest, with a look of gloating.
"Wan Shu, you don't have martial ethics!"
Zhao Shining wailed, cursing Wan Shu countless times in his heart. "Born."
As soon as she stepped into the palace, she felt a huge pressure, which caused her heart to beat like thunder, and her eyes went black. She was almost suppressed by this power and couldn't breathe.
As the fragrance of Yetan became stronger, Zhao Shining's uncontrollable steps finally stopped.
The hall was empty, with no one in sight.
Zhao Shining took a deep breath, looked around the luxurious decorations in the hall with some curiosity, and finally set his eyes on the glittering throne in the center of the hall.
"Emperor Fengdu"
Zhao Shining smacked these words, and couldn't help but think of the scene in her dream. If Xie Linzhuo and Qi Bumian really fought to the death for the woman lying in the ice coffin, she, Zhao Shining, might not be able to benefit from it.
The abacus beads in her heart were clacking, and the previous fear disappeared completely.
"Fight to the death for a woman? You benefit from it?"
The low and hoarse male voice was like a gust of cold wind, pouring into her ears, cold and freezing Zhao Shining's bones and joints.
Zhao Shining fell to the ground with a thump. She slowly turned her head and saw the black hem of the clothes embroidered with complicated patterns, and the black hair that almost reached her feet.
She raised her head tremblingly, and what she saw was a pale and tired face, but his lips seemed to be stained with blood, so gorgeous that it was soul-stirring. Looking up, she saw his green eyes, as if the color of ghost fire, which frightened Zhao Shining so much that she even forgot to breathe.
Qi Bumian lowered his eyes and glanced at her lightly, waiting for her answer.
"... Can you... read minds?"
After a long while, Zhao Shining found her voice and asked stutteringly.
Qi Bumian yawned lazily and walked towards the throne. "Yes, it's a talent unique to the ghost clan."
He threw away his wide and gorgeous sleeves, leaned against the chair, and tapped the armrest lightly with his pale fingers, one by one.
Every time she knocked, Zhao Shining seemed to hear countless locked evil spirits roaring, as if they would eat her alive in the next moment.
Zhao Shining raised her hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat on the tip of her nose, and squeezed out a flattering smile: "Master Demon is really powerful, hehe."
Qi Bumian yawned again, as if he was extremely tired, "Little waste, come here."
Zhao Shining silently bit her back teeth when she heard it. She hated being called a waste the most, although she was indeed very useless...
Over the years, Xie Linzhuo did not stop her from practicing, but Zhao Shining's spiritual roots were turbid and she was not suitable for cultivating immortals at all. She could not bear the severe pain of marrow washing. She still remembered that she was only ten years old when she first washed her marrow. She fainted immediately after getting off the marrow washing pool. She was covered in blood, but her spiritual roots were not washed much. Since then, she has realized that she is not the material for cultivating immortals, so that she is still a Qi Refiner after more than ten years in Changliu.
Her master was the only sword master who had ascended to immortality in Changliu for hundreds of years, while she was a well-known loser in Changliu...
If she hadn't had frequent dreams three years ago, dreaming that her master had stabbed her through, she would probably still be a street urchin who walks cats and dogs all day in Changliu.
That's why Zhao Shining wanted to defect. Her spiritual roots were not suitable for cultivating immortals, so she would become a demon cultivator, and being a demon cultivator didn't require spiritual roots.
When she returns after cultivating, she will definitely kill people in Changliu and make Xie Linzhuo look good!
Thinking of this, Zhao Shining's panic was a little less, and she limped to Qi Bumian. When she got closer, she smelled a faint smell of blood from the rich night incense.
She suddenly remembered what Wanshu said on the boat, that Xie Linzhuo had injured Qi Bumian, and this evil ghost would not eat her tonic to heal her wounds and avenge Xie Linzhuo's sword.
Zhao Shining's fingers kept tugging at the corners of her green clothes, her face turned from green to white, and she kept wailing and screaming in her heart.
"You disturbed me."
Qi Bumian coughed heavily, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and locked his eyes with her.
"Your master's injury is no less serious than mine. You hate him so much, why not take this opportunity to... kill him..."
Hearing this, Zhao Shining waved his hands and said with a bitter face: "Master Demon, what are you kidding? How can a waste of Qi Refining Stage like me kill an immortal... Besides, killing an immortal will be punished by heaven."
Qi Bumian was too lazy to listen to her. He had already made up his mind to make this woman into a puppet to hold his power. As long as she could enter Wuji Pavilion, she would be able to injure Xie Linzhuo again.
He slowly condensed a black mist in his palm, intending to extract all of Zhao Shining's soul.
But just as Qi Bumian was about to move, Zhao Shining grabbed his hand and said with a flattering smile, "Sir, you can actually revive the woman in the ice room in the basement of Wuji Pavilion. Xie Linzhuo practices the ruthless way. Once the woman wakes up, she will definitely disturb his mind. When his cultivation is greatly reduced, you can kill him with one blow. Isn't it wonderful?"
Qi Bumian's eyelids slightly lifted and fell on Zhao Shining's pretty face. She looked pretty, with a nose and eyes.
"You are right. In this case, the important task of destroying your master's mind will be entrusted to you."
Zhao Shining's smile froze, and he slowly let go of his hand, "Sir Demon Lord, are you kidding me? How can there be a chance between me and my master?"
Zhao Shining was very afraid of Xie Linzhuo since she was a child. Seeing him was like a mouse seeing a cat. If she had to seduce Xie Linzhuo, it would be better to let her go with...
Her eyes fell on Qi Bumian, blinked, and her expression was a little resentful.
Qi Bumian clenched his fists, his joints creaking, and his voice was rarely angry: "Please stop your dirty talk."
Before Zhao Shining could speak, the palace she was in was slowly disappearing, and the surrounding environment changed again, becoming an endless sea of suffering, with huge salty waves rolling.
In the sea of suffering, there were several naked people struggling constantly, trying to swim to the shore, and behind them were several huge strange fish that kept following them. When these people swam to exhaustion, the strange fish opened their bloody mouths and tore them into pieces. The
wailing sound continued and slowly disappeared, but in the blink of an eye, the people instantly returned to their original state, continued to swim forward wailing, and were torn into pieces by the monsters again, over and over again, without stopping.
Zhao Shining finally understood that she had arrived in hell, a real "hell".
"These people committed adultery, killed their wives and raped their daughters during their lifetime. They were extremely evil. After their death, their souls fell into the sea of suffering and hell, where they will suffer pain for eternity and cannot be freed."
Qi Bumian patted Zhao Shining's shoulder gently, his voice like a ghost: "If you dare to have lust for me again next time, I will definitely throw you into this sea of suffering and let you taste this feeling."
"It will take half a month. If Xie Linzhuo's Taoism heart is destroyed, the door to my demon world will be open for you. If Xie Linzhuo is safe and sound..."
Qi Bumian didn't need to say the rest, Zhao Shining already understood it completely.
She nodded hurriedly, wanting to pull his sleeve but not daring to touch him, for fear that he would really throw her down.
The door of the palace was already closed.
Zhao Shining slumped on the ground in front of the palace, his face pale and his lips trembling. He had not yet recovered from the tragic scene of hell.
Wan Shu half-knelt in front of her, staring at her strangely, "Hey, the master asked me to send you back to Changliu. What's wrong with you? Why do you look like you're going to die?"
Zhao Shining's body softened and she fell directly into Wan Shu's arms.
Wan Shu's hair exploded instantly, and he wanted to push Zhao Shining away without thinking, but the person in his arms tightly held his waist and refused to let go.
"Master Wan Shu, I don't have any strength. You hold me... Let's go back to Changliu."
Zhao Shining smelled the faint scent of nightshade on him, her eyelashes trembled slightly, a tear slowly rolled down from the corner of her eye, and she hugged him tighter. Wan
Shu stared at the tear marks in the corner of her eyes in confusion. He had never cried since he was a child, but today he had only met this woman twice, and she had already cried many times.
He touched the tears in the corner of her eyes with his fingertips and tasted them in his mouth.
They were bitter.
Wan Shu frowned.
His strong arms steadily held Zhao Shining, and his tall body made the girl in his arms look even smaller.
Zhao Shining curled the corners of her lips.
She couldn't deceive the evil ghost that had lived for thousands of years.
But she could at least deceive this little tiger that was still wet behind the ears.
