She was the top alchemist from a prominent ancient martial arts family in the 21st century. With one transmigration, she found herself in the body of the discarded eldest daughter of a general'...
With that, Li Mobai knelt down on the ground with a thud: "Please, young heroes, save my sister..."
Ji Jiuying's expression turned cold: "You've repeatedly gone back on your word, do you think I'd still help your sister?"
“Young lady, I did not mean to hide this from you, but I can assure you of one thing: the white tiger egg is indeed in my sister’s spiritual sea.”
At this moment, a little girl with bright red hair appeared beside Ji Jiuying. Xiao Huang'er stepped forward, took Li Moning's hand, and closed her eyes to sense something.
"Mother, there really is a white tiger egg."
Li Mobai glanced at the exaggeratedly beautiful little girl in surprise. This little girl was amazing. She could sense the white tiger egg in her sister's mind just by touching her hand. At the same time, he was also glad that he had good judgment and chose her in the vast sea of people.
Upon hearing this, Ji Jiuying took hold of Li Moning's wrist and released her spiritual power to probe her body. After a while, she frowned and probed again unwillingly, while releasing a wisp of soul power.
After a while.
"I'm sorry, I can't save her."
Li Mobai's face paled as he looked at the girl in his arms with heartache. Ji Jiuying then said, "Humans have three souls and seven spirits, but she only has two souls and six spirits."
She can't save a lost soul unless she can find it.
Li Mobai, realizing something, said painfully, "It must be because of that pyramid. My sister's soul is very likely inside the pyramid..."
"Young heroes, are you here in the Wilderness City to enter the pyramids? Could you please bring along...?"
"cannot!"
Ji Jiuying refused without hesitation, without even thinking about it.
“Girl, I can force my way into her mind and take out the white tiger egg,” Hei Xiangling said as she stepped forward.
Ji Jiuying glanced at her. If she forcibly entered Li Moning's spiritual sea, Li Moning would definitely not be able to withstand her power and would explode and die. She had killed many people, but those people deserved their fate. What had this girl in front of her done wrong?
Feeling guilty under Ji Jiuying's gaze, Hei Xiangling trembled and hid behind Xiao Yichen.
Ji Jiuying channeled a wisp of soul power into Li Moning's brow: "I left a trace of soul power on your sister. When we enter the pyramid, I will help you search for your sister's soul. If I cannot find it, I will fulfill my promise... I will take out the White Tiger Egg while ensuring her survival."
Li Mobai glanced at the girl in his arms and sighed softly.
"good--"
Li Mobai watched the group of people gradually walk away, his eyes lowered slightly, and he smiled bitterly, muttering, "But to this day, not a single person who went into the pyramid has come out alive..."
——
Hua Li had her own things to do, so she parted ways with Ji Jiuying and the others.
The group quickly arrived at the pyramid. Up close, the pyramid was much more magnificent than it had appeared from afar. The pyramid in front of them was about thirty stories high and the size of two sports fields. It was surrounded by people, and the killing was going on at the same time. Scattered limbs and broken bodies were being eroded by sand and stones, but these people seemed to be used to it and their faces were expressionless.
"Why are so many people still here at these pyramids, despite their numerous dangers?"
Qingling asked in confusion.
“Some of these people are here to watch, and some are here to lie in wait. Once someone comes out, these people will definitely surround that person, rob them, and kill them,” Xiao Yichen said.
At this moment, Ji Jiuying felt as if a pair of eyes were watching her from the shadows. She frowned slightly and glanced around with her cool eyes, but did not find anyone suspicious.
"Xiao Jiu".
A gentle voice came from behind.
The group looked toward the source of the voice and saw Ye Qingchen appear in the crowd. His smile was like a spring breeze, and his clear eyes were like a peerless god under the lone smoke of the desert. His innate nobility and elegance attracted the attention of everyone around him.
Shadow Moon's cold, dark eyes held a chilling glint as she warily watched the newcomer.
Ji Jiuying's eyes flickered slightly. The two of them had not seen each other since that day, and she did not believe that this was just a coincidence.
"Qing Chen".
"Xiao Jiu, I knew you were coming back, so I waited here for you." Ye Qingchen said with a smile, his face showing little emotion, making it impossible to guess his thoughts.
Noticing the hint of doubt in Ji Jiuying's eyes, Ye Qingchen added, "This pyramid is fraught with danger. My subordinate, A Si, has also entered the pyramid. Why don't we go together and keep each other company?"
"Okay, let's go in together then."
When the people surrounding the pyramid heard Ji Jiuying and her group say they wanted to enter, all eyes turned to them. Some were surprised, some disdainful, some mocking, and some puzzled...
But they didn't care what these people thought, and soon arrived at the so-called entrance. Although the pyramid was tall, the entrance was extremely small, only allowing one person to enter at a time.
The dark entrance seemed so inviting that one would be drawn in at first glance, making it impossible to look directly at.
"I'll go first!"
Hei Xiangling stepped forward, but Xiao Yichen pulled her back: "There's no reason for a girl to be at the forefront."
Si Yu raised an eyebrow and looked at him thoughtfully.
Hei Xiangling pouted and muttered under her breath, "Don't ask me to save you later!"
Led by Xiao Yichen, they entered the pyramid first, and their figures were quickly swallowed up by the endless darkness and disappeared from everyone's sight.
"A few more are coming to their deaths, what a pity!"
"Yes, those girls were incredibly beautiful, and it's such a pity that they're about to die... It's truly a shame."
"I don't think so. Those who went in just now are all extraordinary."
"What do you mean by that, fellow Daoist?"
Everyone looked at the man who had spoken and asked him in confusion.
"The man in white is the Rain God of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, the man in black is Dean Xiao Yichen of Blue Star, the boy in black is the Shadow Moon Envoy of the Nine Heavens Divine Palace, and the one beside him is even more extraordinary—that's the Demon Lord Qingling who stirred up several continents not long ago. You must have heard of the woman in red; she is Ji Jiuying. If I'm not mistaken, the little girl and the woman in black beside her are her spirit beasts. As for the man later..."
The man paused, then said softly, "I heard that man was a god, but I don't know the specifics..."
Upon hearing the man's words, everyone suddenly realized that they were mostly villains trapped in the desolate city, and could only learn about what was happening outside from people outside.
When they learned about the origins of the group, their faces were filled with shock. However, this did not stop some people from looking down on them. After all, the pyramid had a mysterious origin, and in just a few years, countless geniuses had entered, but none of them had ever come out.
In the crowd, Li Mobai lowered his eyes and sighed softly. Now, she was the only one who could save his sister, and he had no choice but to trust her...
