He discovered that her carriage emitted a burst of light, and then the space was sealed off; he couldn't even break through the void.
There's something wrong with this carriage.
"Is it okay to come over now?"
The Princess Consort of Huainan had a radiant smile and captivating charm; anyone without the protection of the "Meditation Mantra" would absolutely not be able to withstand her beauty.
"Your Highness, I am getting old and my virility is failing. Perhaps it is better not to."
The gourd couldn't break through the space, and it retreated while talking, clearly having slipped away.
"I called you here." The Princess of Huainan was completely enraged. She roared, "You're being ungrateful for my polite words!"
"Your Highness, please have some self-respect."
The wine gourd turned and ran.
Using his ultimate footwork, the ground instantly receded, its size shrinking infinitely beneath his feet, becoming inch by inch.
Take a step forward.
In an instant, they were hundreds of miles away.
"What a powerful technique, shrinking the distance to an inch. My spatial confinement range isn't that large. Go and kill him." The Princess of Huainan looked at the black-clad maid in front of her.
The maid in black made her move.
She leaped up, shattering space itself, and went to hunt down the wine gourd.
The Princess Consort of Huainan withdrew her gaze and pretended to doze off.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn has passed, the sound of footsteps can be heard, and one slowly opens their eyes.
The maid in black has returned.
"how?"
"Your Highness, the wine gourd is dead," said the maidservant in the dark.
"Alright, let's go, to the altar." The Princess of Huainan said coldly, and the carriage continued on its way.
...
Barren mountains, a thousand miles away.
There was a pool of blood on the ground and a mangled corpse. The body was broken into many pieces and was unrecognizable as a person.
Sudden.
The shattered corpse moved, began to writhe, and soon blood flowed back, and flesh and blood began to regenerate.
It made a clicking sound.
In no time, the gourd came back to life.
To be precise, the wine gourd didn't die; it just faked its death.
Before dying, he would smash his flesh and dismember himself, making it appear as if the other party had blown him up.
This is a method of escape.
He had used it many times when he was young and was very skilled at it, but he stopped using it after he became famous. Unexpectedly, it saved his life at a critical moment.
"If a mere maid is this terrifying, just who is the Princess Consort of Huainan? And that carriage of hers, it's beyond the reach of this era."
The wine gourd muttered to itself and took a sip of wine.
Suddenly, she remembered something else. The two maids had been carrying two wooden boxes, and the contents inside might be related to her coming to the desolate mountains.
"I want to see what she's going to do." The wine gourd didn't rush to leave, but followed her at a distance.
A woman who drank blood aroused his curiosity.
Of course, it's not a man's curiosity about women.
They were curious about her identity.
...
On a desolate mountain, Wu Xiao is engaged in battle.
The ground was turbulent just now, and monsters emerged one after another. The monsters were huge, brown in color, and their bodies were covered in purple flames.
She annihilated all the monsters with her fists, and the bodies piled up on the ground to form a small mountain.
They probably killed several thousand.
Blood flowed like rivers on the ground.
However, even several thousand of them take less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
"Why is the ground still shaking?" Wu Xiao found it strange that the ground was still shaking after an incense stick had burned for so long.
"Don't worry, I'm looking for the epicenter."
Li Ming kept sliding, searching carefully. The tremor just now was not caused by these monsters with flames blooming all over their bodies, but by a strong earthquake that shook these monsters out.
“Found it. Move towards the direction of Si Shi (9-11 AM), about 300,000 li away. That is the real epicenter.”
Li Ming finally pinpointed the epicenter, but finding the location through the Boundless Bowl was incredibly difficult. If he were actually there, he could simply spread his divine sense and find it within half an incense stick's time.
"Three hundred thousand li, that must be the very heart of the desolate mountains."
"More or less," Li Ming replied.
Without further ado, Wu Xiao soared into the sky and crossed the river using his powerful physique.
Time flies by, piercing through the void.
After waiting for a while, Wu Xiao appeared more than 300,000 miles away.
Her black hair flew wildly as she slowly descended to the ground.
The ground was shaking violently, and you could clearly feel something turning over on the ground. With a rumbling sound, it was as if the ground was about to be overturned.
"Quickly retreat 100 kilometers."
Suddenly, text transmitted by Li Ming appeared before Wu Xiao's eyes.
Without any hesitation, she moved and stepped back.
In the blink of an eye, a 100-kilometer-long scratch appeared on the ground.
"What exactly happened?" Wu Xiao was very curious as to why Li Ming had told her to retreat so far away.
"Damn it."
Li Ming, the black dog opened its mouth wide.
I witnessed the most stunning scene I've ever seen.
In the area spanning 300,000 li in length and several hundred li in width from the black stone tablet Wu Xiao had just seen to the epicenter, all the flowers, plants, and trees were directly enveloped by the pillar of light and turned into dust.
A smooth path appeared on the ground.
The passage runs straight through the black stone tablet to the epicenter, exuding an eerie atmosphere.
At this moment, dark clouds covered the sky, and the world became gloomy.
The black stone tablet slowly sank to the ground, and a gate made of bronze slowly appeared at the epicenter, standing between heaven and earth.
A bronze gate that stands tall in the world.
It is full of mystery and the unknown.
It's as if there's a vast world inside, slowly unfolding.
Immediately following was the sound of orderly footsteps.
An exit appeared where the black stone tablet had sunk, from which emerged soldiers clad in armor, their eyes lifeless, their bodies radiating an aura of death, yet their movements were perfectly synchronized.
Soldiers poured out in an orderly fashion, marching toward the bronze gate at the epicenter.
Gradually, the number of soldiers increased to an immeasurable amount.
The sight of them marching in unison toward the bronze gate was astonishing.
“They are ghost soldiers.” The black dog slowly uttered three words, his eyes wide open like copper bells.
But it hasn't stopped yet.
Soldiers clad in armor and exuding an aura of death continued to pour out of the exit.
Suddenly, a white horse of rank eight slowly stepped out from the exit, mysterious and eerie.
"This is the Princess Consort of Huainan. How come she's mingling with the ghost soldiers?"
