Chapter 285
Ji Liang pulled out a pill from somewhere and handed it to Ying Ning, though he seemed a little reluctant to do so.
"Wind-avoiding pill".
"If I can conceal your presence, these Heart-Refining Fireflies will not be able to detect your existence."
When the two stepped into the Blackwater Firefly Pool again, the Heart-Refining Firefly followed the movement and found them. After a short while, the Heart-Refining Firefly flew away again as if it had never been there.
But when Ji Liang turned his head again:
"I knew I'd mentioned the Wind-Avoiding Pill..."
"Huh?"
There was no one around him anymore, and only his own reflection could be seen in the upside-down mirror lake.
......
The black water was heavy and silent, its pungent odor comparable to a pool full of blood, but once someone stepped into this place, it still stirred up a ripple.
And within this, in the unfathomably dark pool, something seems to be watching the person in the water.
Yingning looked up at her reflection in Mirror Lake, and to her surprise, the reflection showed forty-nine bolts of heavenly tribulation striking her. She wept with sorrow and cursed in hatred.
"I use the River of Oblivion as my curse."
"May you never have your wishes fulfilled in any of your future lives, and may you be forever condemned to the deepest hell!"
But her body was still thrown down from the boundary gate.
When it fell into the River of Oblivion, it was already in a terrible state.
The hole ripped directly into her chest was horrifying, but she could only remain motionless, watching her spirit and flesh be swallowed by the waters of the River of Oblivion.
Every day, her spirit would dissipate a little.
Sometimes, the wandering ghosts and evil spirits of the River of Oblivion are attracted by flesh and blood, so she can only watch helplessly as the evil spirits devour her body, unable to do anything about it.
How long exactly?
The reflections in the mirror-like lake change scene by scene.
From her broken and battered body, she eventually turned into a pile of white bones.
Finally, her skull was devoured by a demon and crushed into countless dust particles.
......
When that figure in indigo saw the scene in Mirror Lake, his brows furrowed slightly, and his eyes showed an uncontrollable heartache.
As Meng Aning's body slowly disappeared from the screen...
The voyeur thinks this is all there is to it.
The upside-down Mirror Lake was suddenly thrown into turmoil again, as an overwhelming raging inferno burned the entire lake surface, and a phoenix's cry echoed through the heavens.
She was a female immortal cultivator with phoenix eyes.
She was said to be a celestial cultivator, but half of her body already possessed demonic energy. The phoenix-eyed woman, bathed in blood amidst karmic flames, faced the immortals who were slaying demons. She picked up her longsword and forced herself to stand up.
With a single sword, he blocked the endless stream of immortal cultivators.
She wiped away the dirt from the corners of her eyes, but the blood on the side of her lips could not be wiped away completely.
until...
The sword, which had been suspended in mid-air, pierced through her chest.
The woman with phoenix eyes looked down in disbelief and saw the long sword that had taken all her life. She collapsed to the ground, her last words a barely audible, helpless, and bitter sound:
"Master..."
"Master..."
Those are Feng Yingning's memories.
These horrific scenes were witnessed by one man. His gaze lingered on the raging flames on Mirror Lake until he saw the phoenix-eyed girl slowly fall from the flames.
The man in indigo looked shocked, and his fingertips trembled uncontrollably.
Because he recognized her.

In the hidden corner of the Sword Sect, the Seeking Shadow Lamp suddenly lit up.
The snow-white figure coughed violently.
The crimson blood finally settled on his immortal robe.
Now, Li Ziqing's body has lost most of his immortal soul and spirit, and even the death energy brought by the Ghost Realm has entangled him, trying to find an opportunity to take over his body.
Li Ziqing didn't even glance at the blood. After noticing the abnormality of the Shadow-Seeking Lamp, he immediately interrupted his healing technique.
“A-Ning.”
He saw the direction of the searchlight, and it turned out to be...
The secret realm of eternal life.
Li Ziqing channeled spiritual energy once more, and the direction guided by the Shadow-Seeking Lamp still pointed towards the Sword Sect's Myriad Life Secret Realm.
He stood there for a very long time.
It took a while for him to gradually regain a little strength from his stiff body.
A soft chuckle escaped from the side of his lips.
But his voice was filled with bitterness:
“A-Ning.”
"I've found you."

The Heartless Sea.
Yingning slowly made her way through the flowing black water, step by step, when 0067 peeked out with a cute little voice:
"Master, what should we do if Wei Jue discovers about Meng Ling's affairs?" 0067 hadn't expected Wei Jue's mental strength to be so high, actually seeing through the dream in the third dream.
This Dream Spirit is a reward from the main system.
"As an ancient god, it's normal that the artifacts couldn't be hidden from him."
“Now, Jue still has half a Pure Lotus on him,” Ying Ning said softly. “I remember in the storyline, he only put half a divine artifact into the original owner’s body in the end.”
0067's voice was clear and crisp: "That's right, Master, that artifact is the Purifying Lotus."
Now, all three artifacts are inside Yingning's body.
The ethereal body carries the power of the divine artifact.
Yingning smiled, "The things in the Underworld Palace can't stop Jue, he'll probably be out soon."
"If I don't come out, how can I open the gate with my body?"
Ying Ning already understood that the boundary gate that Wei Jue had forcibly opened using the original owner's body was probably the long-lost ruins of the God Realm. She just didn't know what he was trying to do.
The black water splashed.
The Heartbreak Firefly showed no unusual behavior.
Yingning pretended not to know and continued walking step by step in the water. The black water flowed quietly around her waist, and the fiery brocade on her long hair was also soaked.
The person whose figure disappeared had ankle-length hair spread out in the water.
The man watched Ying Ning's figure and kept moving forward.
It was as if he was leaving.
He had only been gone for two days, but he could already clearly sense the death aura emanating from her, which was much stronger than it had been two days before.
But the anger that had been building up in his chest suddenly dissipated when he saw something at Mirror Lake.
The reason is that Blackwater Mirror Lake can reflect the seven emotions and six desires.
And, memories etched into the very marrow.
It cannot be faked.
His narrow eyes followed her every step closely.
He forcefully suppressed the trembling in his fingertips, and Si Baixue suddenly quickened his pace, running behind Ying Ning, even though his violent movements attracted a large number of Heart-Refining Fireflies.
He still hugged her.
The man was tall and slender, and he had to bend down to snuggle against Yingning's neck.
Si Baixue said softly:
"I'm here."
“You know.”
With the power of the contract present, she could naturally sense her own presence.
"Little Snow Slave, you ran away." Yingning saw Si Baixue's long hair in the black water, and she looked up to see her reflection in the Mirror Lake.
"Yes, they ran away."
The strangely flamboyant man buried his face in the crook of her neck.
Si Baixue was furious that she didn't care about her own life or death, but whenever he saw her, he would think of her gradually weakening life force within the power of the contract.
He didn't want to see her again, nor did he want to see her life end.
"Because I ran away, I won't have to see any malicious people."
