The night was as dark as ink, cold and murderous.
Suddenly, two rays of light streaked across the darkness, rapidly approaching from afar. However, from afar, the rays of light seemed to tremble faintly, showing signs of instability.
On the ground, Luan Xiaoqi was pacing back and forth anxiously. Behind her were the remaining disciples. At a rough glance, there were about 20 to 30 people, all of them looking at the path they had come from with fear.
The ordinary Emei disciples were already restless, but Luan Xiaoqi looked at the two figures flying over, and her anxious expression became even more serious.
When the light came close, it stopped. Nun Jinghui suddenly woke up. Everyone shouted " Sect Master, Master ". Unexpectedly, before everyone could gather around her, Nun Jinghui's face turned pale. She spat out a large mouthful of blood and dyed her clothes red.
Everyone was shocked.
Luan Xiaoqi rushed forward and supported Nun Jinghui. She felt cold to the touch and felt that Nun Jinghui's entire body was ice-cold. It was very unusual. Moreover, under her clothes, her body was actually trembling slightly. She could not help but turn pale with fright.
Luan Xiaoqi felt the shock of Nun Jinghui. She looked around and saw that the disciples under her were also frightened. She knew that these people were already frightened and the morale of the army was in chaos. If she could not hold on, she would immediately be a dragon without a leader.
She immediately braced herself and suppressed the churning blood in her chest. She said loudly,"You don't need to panic. I just forced out the blood clots in my body by myself.”
Usually, Priestess Jinghui was like a god in the hearts of the Emei Sect disciples. Now that she had said this, it had some effect. Many disciples 'expressions relaxed a little, and they were clearly much more at ease.?
However, even though Nun Jinghui said so, her complexion was really terrible. She was as white as paper, and her left side was covered in blood. Even the sleeve on her right arm had disappeared. Her arm was like a lotus root that had been dug out of the mud. It was very white and tender, and it was exposed. Fortunately, it was late at night and the night was dark. Otherwise, if it was daytime, many gazes would immediately see that she was already at the end of her rope.
Luan Xiaoqi frowned and turned to the disciples of Longevity Hall.""Master is fine. You guys go to the side and rest first. We'll make plans after dawn!”
Everyone followed her instructions and gradually dispersed. When the Emei Sect disciples had walked a little further away, Luan Xiaoqi suddenly felt Nun Jinghui's body sink. She quickly supported her and looked at Nun Jinghui. Her heart almost jumped out of her chest.?
Nun Jinghui's beautiful face was pale and she was panting heavily. If she did not support her, she would have almost collapsed.
Luan Xiaoqi quickly helped Nun Jinghui sit down. Nun Jinghui sat on the ground and slowly exhaled. After a long while, her breathing gradually calmed down and her expression looked better.
Luan Xiaoqi had been standing beside Nun Jinghui the whole time. She looked nervous and worried as she kept looking around.
It was dark around them. Other than the small bonfire that Emei Sect's disciples had made nearby, it was pitch black everywhere.?
The night was ferocious, and it seemed to be peeping at Emei Sect, which was in a precarious situation.?
Nun Jinghui slowly opened her eyes.
"Master, are you alright?" Luan Xiaoqi immediately asked in a low voice.”
Nun Jinghui smiled bitterly. In her eyes, she naturally could not compare Luan Xiaoqi with those ordinary disciples. She sighed slightly and said,"I was attacked by those brats from the Demon Cult just now, and I used up a lot of my vitality. I was forced to use Emei Sect's treasure, the Flower Dance Formation, but I didn't expect Divine Sword Leaning on the Heaven to break out of my body and injure my meridians…"
Luan Xiaoqi's expression changed drastically and she said in surprise,""Master!"
Nun Jinghui said hatefully," It's not just that. I fought several people, and at least three or four of them were extraordinarily talented. In the end, I could only perform the 'Flower Dance Array' in reverse meridians to kill them. Otherwise, it would have been unthinkable tonight!”
Luan Xiaoqi's expression changed again and again.'Flower Dance Array' was a famous True Spell Immortal Curse of Emei Sect. It was able to increase one's cultivation base through the principles of all things in the world, but the backlash was extremely terrifying. Needless to say, one's cultivation base would be greatly damaged, and one's lifespan might even be reduced.?
After a moment of shock, Luan Xiaoqi came back to her senses and said to Nun Jinghui,"Master, what are our plans now?”
Priestess Jinghui's expression was solemn. After a moment of silence, she said hatefully,"Now that the arrow is on the bowstring, we have to leave the Dead Swamp and search for treasures in Tuman!”
Luan Xiaoqi's expression changed drastically and she could not help but say,""Master, your body…"
Nun Jinghui waved her hand to block Luan Xiaoqi's words. She sighed and said,"I know what you want to say, but now that we've left the Death Swamp, we'll die at the hands of the other Demonic Sects. If we go back, we'll be laughed at by our fellow disciples.”
Luan Xiaoqi stared at Nun Jinghui in a daze. Seeing that the viciousness on her pale face had become even more intense, she knew that she could not persuade her anymore. She could only stand up slowly and look up at the sky, sighing in her heart.
This place was located in the Swamp of Death in the Divine Lands. It was hundreds of miles in radius and was unending. The first was the Outer Swamp, which was where everyone was now. It was the outer part of the Dead Swamp and took up 70 - 80% of the land. There were many bottomless mud pits and poisonous insects, but for cultivators, they didn't care. As long as they were careful not to step on the wrong place, it was not a big deal.
In the deepest part of the Dead Swamp was the center of the Duman Forest. There was a mysterious place that was surrounded by poisonous gas all year round. No one knew what it looked like. Even if there were occasionally cultivators who went in to explore, there would be no signs of life. Therefore, both the righteous and evil paths were generally unwilling to enter rashly.
These days, countless people had been searching for treasures in the Dead Swamp, but there had been no news. Nun Jinghui had long expected that the treasure was in the center of the most dangerous and unpredictable Duman. If it were any other day, Nun Jinghui might have to worry about it, or at least prepare carefully for a few days. But now, the situation was pressing, and she was like a gambler who had gambled too hard. She could not care about anything else.
The night wind blew.
Most of the Emei Sect members who had been busy fighting for the entire day had fallen asleep. The fire on the ground was gradually extinguished. Nun Jinghui was still meditating. Luan Xiaoqi, who had been standing beside her just now, had probably gone to the disciples 'side.?
Suddenly, Nun Jinghui opened her phoenix eyes. Her gaze was fierce, but there seemed to be a trace of fear as she looked around.
The night was deep and dark.
Her entire body suddenly tensed up and she slowly stood up.
He reached out his right hand and grabbed the handle of the Green Cloud Immortal Sword.
The cold wind penetrated her bones and blew on her body, as if it had reached her heart.
In the depths of the darkness, footsteps gradually sounded.
Pa…"
Sha…"
Whoosh…"
The voices seemed to have different rhythms. At the same time, light but orderly footsteps came from two directions, and they gathered toward Emei Sect.?
For the first time, a trace of despair appeared on Priestess Jinghui's face. She suddenly shouted,"Bastard, get out here!"
The loud shout was sharp, but there was a faint lack of energy in it. However, it still spread far and wide in the swamp, and it immediately jolted the Emei Sect disciples in the distance from their sleep. As they cried out in alarm, they hurriedly got up and quickly gathered together.?
Nun Jinghui's expression was uncertain, and her heart sank. She turned around and was suddenly stunned. She said loudly,"Where is Luan Xiaoqi?”
The people from Emei Sect looked at each other, but no one answered after a long while. It was obvious that they did not know.?
Nun Jinghui was so angry that she felt dizzy and almost spat out another mouthful of blood.
At this moment, a gentle male voice came from the darkness.""Sect Master Jinghui, are you looking for this person?”
With a thud, an object flew out from the darkness in front of Emei Sect. It drew an arc and landed in front of Priestess Jinghui and the Emei Sect disciples. It rolled a few times.?
Someone had already lit a torch beside them. Under the light of the torch, they suddenly exclaimed. It was Luan Xiaoqi, who had been standing here talking to everyone the night before. Her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, but there was a look of fear in them. There was no longer a trace of her clothes on her body. It was obvious that she had been tied up and stripped naked.
Nun Jinghui took a deep breath and looked away from her beloved disciple. She stared ahead and said coldly,"Yuan Se?"
A young man slowly walked out. His face was slightly pale, but there was a gentle smile on his face. He smiled and said,"Uncle-Master's vision is indeed extraordinary. You can actually recognize me even though I'm standing in the dark.”
Nun Jinghui's expression was as ugly as it could be. She said coldly,"Fine, you're ruthless. However, your Shaolin Sect treats fellow disciples of the Seven Sects like this. Isn't your master, Liao Kong, afraid that he will be banished to the underworld by the Buddha of the Western Paradise after he dies?”
Yuan Se pressed her hand to her chest and pretended to be frightened. However, she smiled calmly and did not look scared at all. She turned to the other side and said,"Lin Feng, our Shaolin Sect doesn't dare to shoulder such a huge crime. Are you still not coming out?”
Nun Jinghui's expression changed drastically. She turned her head abruptly and saw a graceful man slowly walking out from the darkness on her left. His eyes were filled with evil. In the dark night, the moment he walked out, it seemed to brighten up a little.
"Lin Feng!"
Nun Jinghui seemed to be gnashing her teeth as she uttered these three words.
Lin Feng smiled." Martial Uncle, I'll leave quietly tonight. How are you now?"”
This greeting was even more vicious than the most vicious curse. Nun Jinghui stared at her and said coldly,"Emei Sect and Wudang Sect have always lived in peace and supported each other. Why did you join Shaolin Temple in kicking us when we were down?”
Lin Feng smiled. "A few days ago, I mentioned to you that I adored Luan Xiaoqi, but you were worried that Wudang Sect would secretly learn Emei Sect's martial arts. Is that true?”
Nun Jinghui's expression changed and she cried out involuntarily,"" How could you…" She stopped halfway.
Yuan Se smiled and said," Brother Lin, don't say that. It's my honor to be able to share this family with you."”
At this moment, Nun Jinghui had no time to worry about her thoughts."The current situation is full of danger. Although these two people are young, they haven't shown themselves in recent years. However, they are not easy to deal with. I'm afraid that tonight's situation is really grim.”
"You two aren't Yuan Se and Lin Feng!" Nun Jinghui suddenly realized something.
"Haha…I've been seen through.”Yuan Se and Lin Feng suddenly turned into two unfamiliar young men!
