The phantom figure, dressed in a black, gilded phoenix robe, sat atop a massive black bronze coffin.
The bronze coffin was carried by hundreds of prisoners with heavy shackles around their necks and shackles on their feet.
Behind her stretched an endless line of soldiers clad in ancient armor, their figures upright, wielding sharp blades, ready to go through fire and water for her at any moment.
What shocked me even more was that beneath her gilded phoenix robe was also a black snake tail.
Perhaps sensing my gaze, the phantom suddenly turned its head, its cold eyes looking at me.
There was no emotion in his eyes, only endless stillness.
I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, and I even had an urge to worship.
"Smack!"
Another crisp slap snapped me out of my shock.
When I looked at the woman again, I found that the phantom behind her had disappeared, but her powerful aura was still there.
"Why do you not kneel before me!" the woman's voice rang out, cold and authoritative.
“You…you are…”
Fifth Master wanted to say something, but dared not.
"Smack!"
Another resounding slap landed on Fifth Master's face.
"I ask you, why don't you kneel before me!" The woman's voice grew colder, as if it could freeze the air.
"Smack!"
Kneel down!
The woman raised her hand and slammed it hard on Fifth Master's crown.
With a "crack," Fifth Master's head was smashed directly into his chest, and his body collapsed to the ground like a lump of mud, never to move again.
"All done, call it a day!"
The woman clapped her hands lightly, and her innocent smile returned to her face.
She affectionately took the man's arm, swayed his hand, and said coquettishly, "Daddy, where are we going to eat? Xue'er wants to eat Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles!"
No way!?
My eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
The woman who was so domineering and powerful just a moment ago is now acting like a little girl.
And their IQ doesn't seem to be very high either.
What exactly is going on?
Not only me, but Luo Tianhe was also completely bewildered, his mouth agape wide enough to fit an egg.
Only Jin Ye managed to maintain his strength and bow slightly to the man and woman.
Simply put your hands together, left hand on the outside, right hand on the inside, thumbs precisely interlocked, forming a Tai Chi symbol.
This is the "Midnight-Noon Seal" hand gesture, often used when paying respects to a highly respected person or when addressing an admirable elder.
The man returned the greeting, then turned to look at the woman beside him, his eyes filled with doting affection.
He gently stroked the woman's hair, his voice incredibly tender: "Alright, since Xue'er wants to eat, then let's go eat rice noodles."
After he finished speaking, he walked towards me.
With a flick of his wrist, a pale green bead rested quietly on his palm.
"For me?"
I was a little stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
They saved me, and now they want to give me something?
If I remember correctly, this bead was taken from Fifth Master's body by that woman named Xue'er after she killed him, right?
Is it—a demon core?
Or is it snake pills?
"Take it!"
He handed me the snake pill: "Eat it later, it will do you good."
After saying that, he turned and strode away.
As the two walked further and further away, I couldn't help but shout at his retreating figure, "Who are you?"
He waved at me without turning his head.
At the same time, I heard a faint sound.
"Sometimes, what you see with your eyes isn't necessarily the truth. Those who want to harm you may not actually do so, and those who help you may not genuinely want to help you! Remember this! Remember this!"
I shuddered and instinctively turned to look at Master Jin and Luo Tianhe, only to find that they seemed not to have heard me.
Am I the only one who can hear this?
Even if a fierce wind rises from the ground, I will ride the wind and travel ten thousand miles!
The man's voice came again.
"Kid, someone once gave me this saying, and now I'm passing it on to you!"
I put my hands to my mouth and shouted in the direction he left, "Hey, what's your name?! Will we ever see each other again?"
There was no response until he completely disappeared into the darkness.
