CBGC - ch94.2

     "This junior is escorting our Ancestor Duan's great grandnephew in Jinxiu City. Since we have encountered a female demon who’s slaughtering the city, we must do all we can to help this ancestor to thoroughly eliminate the demon and avenge the death of those on the Righteous Path." Xu Zhaoliang is that Nascent Soul cultivator earlier, the one who was following the Luminous Moon Sect’s Duan Lingtian. He now comes out to look for a way to save himself.

     "Your brain spins fast."

     The incomer snorts coldly, "But there is no need to let the Luminous Moon Sect intervene. Don't you think so too?"

     He has sealed off the whole city, no one can get out, there is no need to spare the Luminous Moon Sect. That Duan Potian is a person who is afraid to die and clings to life, and he has a lot of offsprings. He doesn't believe that Duan Potian would even light a Soul Lamp for a mere great grandnephew.

     Thinking of this, he goes to swat the other with his palm, "Are you deliberately stalling for time, trying to cover up the whereabouts of that demon woman!"

     Xu Zhaoliang is only in the initial stage of Nascent Soul, how could he withstand the attack of an old monster in the late stage of Tribulation Transcendent? With just a slap, his meridians are severed and he bleeds from seven orifices, looking like he would not live. And the power from this palm spills to the surrounding people. Duan Lingtian, who’s still holding that painting scroll in his hand, is blown down by the palm wind. He is blown away, then falls straight into the city’s Qing River.

     Zhang Zhizi got injured earlier, he couldn't escape the attack of the Tribulation Transcendent at all. He merely feels a strong wind coming, and his internal organs are crushed. He is pressed into the ground, only feeling that it’s hard to breathe, and his soul is in severe pain.

     Is he dying?

     Zhang Zhizi's heart is burning with rage. Is he going to die here?

     He hates this. Hates himself for willingly becoming a lowly goon. He racked his brains to please them, but still got treated like a dog.

     He hates, hates that he wasn’t born with better prospects, and that he has no seniors to protect him. So he can only struggle at the bottom.

     He hates, hates that so-called big sister, who stood on a high platform and looked down on others. She heard his begging, but didn't even spare him a glance.

     He hates the unfairness of the heavens. He has clearly invested so much hardship, and with great difficulty, could finally curry favor with Duan Lingtian. He’s finally got a chance to enter the inner circle of the Luminous Moon Sect, but he will die here in vain.

     Extremely angry, the severe injury to his body makes him spit out a mouthful of dirty blood, splattering everywhere. By chance, the blood reaches the scroll that had just fallen to the ground.

     A cold wind blows, and the scroll slowly unfolds.

     Zhang Zhizi's vision is blurry, but he seems to see on the scroll — the white clothed woman that’s holding a snow-white feather fan winks playfully at him.

     ...

     "Jade Maiden, you have killed so many people in your life, and now, for this beautiful Jinxiu City to be buried with you, it would be worth it."

     After saying that, a magic weapon shaped like an upside-down bowl suddenly appears in the sky. As soon as this mysterious device appears, everyone feels an intense pressure.

     The old man, who stood up to speak on behalf of the Wang family earlier, trembles from head to toe. Before he can say anything, his entire body explodes, blood and flesh going everywhere. It looks extremely ghastly.

     Wang Ningxi's eyes go wide, her hands firmly clutching Bai Chengyu beside her. Her body can’t stop trembling, and from her mouth comes a low whimper similar to that of a small animal.

     Bai Chengyu doesn’t have time to take care of her, even if he’s using his spiritual energy to the extreme, there are a few very thin cracks on the jade umbrella. Although this talisman is an Immortal Device, he himself is not a Tribulation Transcendent. It’s no problem to protect himself alone, but now he has four more. There is also Xiao Budian in the Qi condensation period, so he has to use more energy in order to keep Xiao Budian safe. It is very strenuous.

     Su Tingyun is also very nervous. The ghastly death outside makes her heart go cold. But right now, that Xuan Qi clearly wants to destroy the entire Jinxiu City. What can someone in Foundation Establishment do?

     She can only do everything possible to protect her friends.

     Su Tingyun takes out Big Bai’s skin and spreads it open, covering everyone with the hide. At this time, Wang Ningxi suddenly says, "I want to go out!"

     "Thank you for your help, but my relatives and friends are all outside, so I have to go out." Wang Ningxi's cultivation base is just on Foundation Establishment as well, and she will definitely die if she goes out.

     Liu Feizhou starts. His hands have been holding Su Tingyun, but at that point, his nails dig into her flesh, drawing blood.

     He is someone who crawled out of a pile of corpses.

     That night years ago, he struggled to get up, the fishy stench and taste of blood was everywhere, and dead people were all around him.

     He burst out laughing over the pile of corpses, not because he was alive, but because they were all dead.

     Liu Feizhou has always been obsessed with cleanliness, because the smell of blood and rot has always lingered, hidden in his heart. And he can't get rid of it.
