A sound of pleasure
"During those terrifying days, didn't we secretly swear that we would live a life without having to worry about our lives all the time? Ever since Cha Suxun found us, we realized that we actually had such a good life. He treated us so gently and so well. There is no one better than him in this world. Only he, when he saw us in such a miserable state, treated us as living beings, not just supplements or food. I like him, I want to stay by his side forever, and no one can take my Axun away! I want to be his first wife."
"no!"
"Why not! I don't want the stars or the moon, and I don't want to harm the world. I just want to be with him forever."
"You can't just do it for your own selfish desires..."
Before Yuanli could finish her words, she interrupted her and said, "It's you and me who love him. What's the difference between us? If you get him, wouldn't that satisfy your own selfish desires? Oh, I forgot to remind you how I erased all traces of my existence and your love for Cha Suxun."
As soon as he finished speaking, another tightly wrapped man in black emerged from the darkness. He said impatiently, "Enough! Are you done yet? Why are you talking so much? If she doesn't want to, then knock her out and throw her back into the body. She's not awake, so what can I say to you?"
She asked, "Who are you?"
"The one who helped you. If I hadn't trapped her here and made her near death, leaving her soul outside her body, how could you have woken up?"
She stood in front of Yuanli, protecting her behind her, and bravely asked, "I don't believe you would help me for no reason. What do you want from me?"
The man in black didn't answer her. Instead, he picked up a bead and flicked it at Yuanli's forehead, knocking her unconscious. The next moment, he cast a spell, throwing them back into his body, and fell into an uncontrolled sleep.
It wasn't until she heard Cha Suxun's call that she slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the face she hadn't seen for so long, Yuanli's eyes were filled with tenderness. She raised her hand and touched his cheek. She felt the warmth from her fingertips, and she watched the hand moving so casually before her, overwhelmed with joy.
"Ari, what's wrong with you?"
She had so much to say to him, but she was afraid of arousing his suspicion, so she had to calm down, suppress the extreme joy in her heart, and said, "It's okay."
"It's good that you're alright, we'll be out soon."
After saying this, Cha Suxun raised his head and looked at the golden sand peak above him. Then, he squatted down, placed his palm on the ground, gathered the power of the underworld in his palm, and transformed it into a spirit butterfly that flew towards the ground.
Soon, a subtle vibration echoed from the ground, and golden sand bubbled up like boiling water, turning the ground upside down. Kashi's sarcophagus and spirit vanished, and a tall, translucent man emerged from the ground. He was dressed in a black robe and a tall hat adorned with red beads. He bowed respectfully toward them.
However, when he raised his head and saw the two of them clearly, the man's expression was full of confusion and a little fear.
"Where's Bi Bong?"
"The old patriarch passed away three hundred years ago. I am the new patriarch, and my name is Bi Qi."
"Once Bi Feng is gone, you Huangquan people are so bold as to imprison ghosts?"
Cha Suxun's words were light, plain and calm, but they made Bi Qi's eyes full of fear and tremble.
"Reporting to the Underworld King, our Huangquan clan is a law-abiding clan. We have always followed the rules left by you and our ancestors. We would never dare to do such a thing as to hinder the cycle of life and death. There must be a hidden truth behind this. I hope that the Underworld King will show mercy and give us a chance to find out the truth."
"But they are indeed trapped in the territory of your Huangquan Clan, and my wife and I are also trapped here by you. Explanations are useless. I only want to hear the truth and the consequences. In three days, I will summon you again, bringing the culprit and the truth to you for an account. Do you understand my rules?"
"Know."
"Okay. Take us back to the temple."
Upon receiving the order, Bi Qi immediately cracked the Huangquan clan's secret spell and brought the two of them back to the temple. While investigating the remaining immortal energy left by the other three people in the temple, Bi Qi felt a chill run down his spine.
Cha Suxun originally wanted to let the Huangquan tribe send them out of Huanian Village directly, but after thinking about it carefully, he was afraid that other creatures would notice that they were with the people of the Huangquan tribe, so he asked Bi Qi to leave quickly.
Before the chanting and blessing ceremony began, the women from Huamian Village returned to Huamian Village to place the paintings given to them by Yuanli. Tianshu and Heqi immediately noticed their movements and roughly determined their location.
In order to ensure that he could quickly determine the location when leaving, Tianshu waited for a while after the woman from Huamian Village left before approaching and burying a piece of his clothes.
With this information, they quickly found their location, but they couldn't open the entrance to Huamian Village. The endless golden sand desert offered no shelter, leaving them with nowhere to hide. They had no choice but to change their plans.
The chanting and blessing ceremony was almost over, and the six of them hadn't found a way to open the exit. Tianshu said anxiously, "Ali, don't you still have a hidden wing? Take it out and lead the way."
When she recalled Yuanli's memories, she had seen her use the Hidden Wings. Therefore, she deliberately slowed down her movements, trying to hide her unfamiliarity with the technique.
As the eagle flew forward, before the six people could take a few more steps with it, there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of it, blocking its way and knocking it to the ground.
The roosting wing slowed down, shook its wings, and took off again. This time, it didn't rush forward, but instead tested the wall's position, finally stopping about ten meters to the left in front of them.
It seemed to have found a landing spot, and it rested on the invisible wall. Heqi reached out to touch the spot next to Yinchi, but found nothing.
Seeing this, the others also reached out to touch it. However, except for Heqi, they could all feel that there was indeed something invisible in front of them.
Heqi reached out and tried again, but still couldn't touch it.
"What's going on? Why can't I touch it?"
"Of course you can't. You stole my Kashi's treasure and you expect to get away with it? That doesn't make sense."
The six people turned around following the sound and saw the high priest standing behind them. The so-called high priest looked exactly like the proprietress of the Huangquan Inn.
The high priest was exceptionally relaxed, calm and gentle, and was not anxious about the loss of the treasure.
"Why are you looking at me so fiercely? It's as if I'm the thief who stole something. What a joke. I don't want to kill, but it's not worth it to ruin my practice for you guys. You are not a recognized subject of Kasi, so you can't take away Kasi's treasures."
He Qi immediately summoned Bing Po, and twelve frost swords stood behind him, deployed in an orderly manner. A biting cold air enveloped the golden sand beneath his feet, covered with a thin layer of frost.
Seeing this, the high priest's expression changed.
"I must take Bingpo away. You alone cannot stop me. They may still be hesitant to kill you, but I am a demon, I have no scruples. How dare a scum like you threaten me? You are courting death."
"You can use Ice Soul. What is your relationship with the Demon Lord?"
"none of your business."
With that, He Qi urged his Ice Soul to stab the High Priest. He stood still, and without even exerting any strength, the Ice Soul struck the High Priest, leaving him unable to defend himself. The High Priest was quickly defeated, and several wounds appeared on his body.
As Heqi became more familiar with Bingpo, his attacks became more and more brutal, almost killing him with every move. But Heqi was still not satisfied. If his sister used Bingpo, she could turn the high priest into a hedgehog with one move.
Heng Jin said, "He Qi, spare his life."
He Qi said angrily, "Shut up! Are you annoying me? Are you going to show off your compassionate heart again? Get out of here, it's none of your business."
Heng Jin patiently explained, "The reason the Kasi Kingdom hasn't completely disappeared is entirely because of his spiritual power. The entrances and exits between Kasi Kingdom and the outside world were also created by him. If you kill him, his spiritual power will disappear, and we will all be trapped here. Killing him is useless. If you don't stop, he will die soon."
Upon hearing this, Heqi immediately retracted Bingpo.
The high priest knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, his body covered in blood. He could no longer hold on and spat out a mouthful of blood. The blood fell onto the sand, and instantly a patch of grass grew, with a few small wildflowers blooming on it.
"You are not a mountain spirit transformed from Ganoderma lucidum, you were once a mountain god?"
"So what? It's just an empty name. Yuemang Mountain has long been out of my control. It's shrouded in miasma year-round, no spiritual herbs can grow there, and it's overgrown with dead trees. You can't see the scenery outside the mountain at all. Yuemang Mountain is located at the very edge of the Great Wilderness, and the living environment is extremely harsh. Who would want to come here? Over time, who in your six realms will even remember the existence of Yuemang Mountain?"
When she heard people mention Yuemang Mountain again, the memory of Yuemang Mountain was still vivid in her mind, replaying over and over again. Her heart was beating wildly in her throat, and an intense sense of fear surged in her heart, as if she was in a cold cellar.
Feeling that her palms were sweaty, Cha Suxun took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off her palms and asked in her ear with concern, "What's wrong?"
She didn't dare let Cha Suxun know about her past in Yuemang Mountain, so she could only force a smile and replied to him, "It's okay, I'm just a little scared that I can't get out."
"Don't be afraid, it's okay, we will definitely get home safely. Hold my hand tightly, and you won't be afraid anymore, just like before."
"good."
Heng Jin glanced at Yuan Li and continued to ask, "If you are a mountain god, why did you leave Yuemang Mountain?"
"Am I going to die if I don't leave Yuemang Mountain? Initially, Yuemang Mountain was just filled with more miasma. The withered trees blocked the sunlight, causing constant darkness and making it impossible for many plants to grow. Although the conditions were harsh, it was the mountain I protected. I spent some energy to maintain some vitality. But later, Yuemang Mountain became a purgatory! Even my body, a mountain god, absorbed too much miasma and resentment. I was almost dead there! And now you blame me, but who from the Six Realms intervened back then? Why couldn't I find a way to survive for myself?"
