"Girl, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, I just used up too much soul power, I just need to rest for a bit."
Ji Jiuying stood up, her face pale, took out the pills, ate them herself, and then fed them to Lan Xi.
A moment later, Lanxi let out a muffled groan! She raised her hand to cover her head, and slowly opened her eyes, revealing a pair of clear pupils.
"cousin?"
"Ouch—what happened? My head hurts so much!"
Lanxi sat up, looking at the group with a puzzled expression. When her gaze fell on the pile of bones, she screamed in fright and immediately clung to Ji Jiuying.
Looking at Lan Xi who had woken up, Li Moning, who was in mid-air, now completely believed Ji Jiuying's words. It turned out that the person had really lied to her. If the price of becoming normal was to kill another innocent person, then she would rather live like this for the rest of her life. Besides, that person was not helping her, but harming her!
Ji Jiuying retracted the Immortal Binding Rope and said to Li Moning, "Your brother is still waiting for you outside. If you trust me, I can take you out."
Li Moning landed on the ground, her face filled with worry, and she gave a bitter smile: "Once you enter this place, you can't get out..."
"You don't need to worry about these things. But if you hesitate any longer, your soul will dissipate!"
"Stop, stop, stop..." Lan Xi stood up in disbelief, staring at the pile of white bones in front of her, instantly feeling a chill run down her spine: "Cousin, who are you talking to? What do you mean by 'soul dissipating'?! You, you're not trying to scare me, I'm easily frightened..."
Ji Jiuying turned around and looked at her, asking in surprise, "You...can't see her?"
Looking in the direction Ji Jiuying pointed, Lan Xi involuntarily took a few steps back: "W-what? There's just a pile of bones over there..."
Ji Jiuying cast a wisp of soul power on Lanxi's brow, and only then did Lanxi see Li Moning standing in front of her, her eyes widening in surprise.
"What is that?!"
"She is a wisp of a soul. When you were unconscious just now, she was controlling your body. You have no recollection of it at all?"
Lan Xi was startled again. Her body was being possessed and controlled by someone else? This was too terrifying. After regaining her senses and thinking carefully, she shook her head: "I have no recollection at all. Where is this? Why are there so many skeletons here?"
"This is the Savage City, inside the pyramids. How did you get here, little girl?" Si Yu asked as she stepped forward.
Lan Xi lowered her eyes and shook her head again: "I don't know..."
"It seems that old thief knocked her unconscious and kidnapped her."
“It could also be someone else…” Ji Jiuying recalled the gaze she had received outside earlier.
"By the way, do you know where that person is hiding?"
Li Moning nodded, and Ji Jiuying broke off a branch of the Soul Nourishing Tree and handed it to Li Moning: "Take this with you, and it will keep your soul from dissipating for a month."
Let's go.
With Li Moning leading the way, the ghosts inside the skeletons stopped appearing, and the group followed her through the pile of bones and continued forward.
Lan Xi was inevitably a little scared because it was her first time seeing such a scene, and she gripped Ji Jiu Ying's sleeves tightly with both hands.
After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Li Moning stopped: "There is a formation here, which I set up when I used her body."
Ji Jiuying glanced around and indeed found a very secret killing formation. If she accidentally went in and triggered the killing formation, she would probably have to fight another fierce battle. When Lan Xi heard that she was the one who set up the formation, she quickly popped out from behind Ji Jiuying and took a closer look.
"This really does seem to be my style of formation!"
As she spoke, Lanxi destroyed the array's core, and the invisible array vanished instantly.
The group continued walking forward, seemingly heading uphill.
Soon, they stopped in another stone chamber. Before they could even stand still, three ferocious-looking spirit beasts pounced on them. Ji Jiuying quickly pushed Lanxi towards Dongfang Yao: "Dongfang, Xiaohuang'er, Xiangling, you guys protect her."
Li Moning was a soul and couldn't offer much help, so she stayed by her side. She remembered that the spirit beasts here were in a dormant state before, so why were they awake now?
All three spirit beasts were at least Saint-level, and Ji Jiuying's eyes were filled with fighting spirit. This pyramid was undoubtedly a good opportunity for training. Ye Qingchen saw her thoughts and automatically stepped aside, letting her deal with one of the spirit beasts by herself.
Qingling and Yingyue faced off against one, while Xiao Yichen and Siyu faced off against one.
A gigantic spirit beast stood before them, its dark eyes fixed on Ji Jiuying, its gaze filled with chilling killing intent and disdain. This human was so presumptuous, daring to challenge a Saint-level spirit beast all by herself.
Ji Jiuying's cold gaze met those jet-black eyes. She gripped the Ice Crimson Twin Phoenix Sword tightly in her hand, showing no fear in the face of a Saint-level spirit beast with a higher cultivation level than her.
The ferocious spirit beast bared its fangs and let out a low roar, seemingly warning the human before it not to resist it, for resistance would only result in a more miserable death. However, Ji Jiuying remained unmoved, with only one thought in her mind: defeating this spirit beast would help her advance to the mid-stage of the Divine Realm.
However, Ji Jiuying's ignorance angered the Saint-level spirit beast. In an instant, the figures of the beast and the human intertwined in mid-air, engaging in a fierce battle.
The spirit beast's claws gleamed with a cold light, each attack carrying a chilling killing intent, seemingly intent on tearing Ji Jiuying to shreds. Ji Jiuying, however, dodged with the agility of a swallow, her icy crimson sword drawing arcs in the air as it clashed with the spirit beast's claws, producing a series of ear-piercing sounds.
Si Yu and Xiao Yichen quickly dealt with the spirit beasts. A short while later, Qingling and Yingyue worked together and also killed one of the spirit beasts.
Ji Jiuying's forehead was covered in fine beads of sweat as she focused on fighting the spirit beast before her. The spirit beast was also completely enraged by Ji Jiuying, and its attack speed became faster and faster, leaving afterimages in mid-air. For a moment, there were only roars and the sound of weapons clashing.
"Little beauty, you're using spirit beasts as stepping stones."
Si Yu watched the fierce battle in mid-air with great interest. Although it wasn't the first time she had heard about Si Yu's incredible cultivation speed, she was still amazed every time.
A loud bang caused the distance between the man and the beast to widen once again. The Saint-level soul roared and instantly merged the corpses of the two spirit beasts on the ground into its body, unleashing a powerful attack.
A fierce glint flashed in Ji Jiuying's eyes as she faced the overwhelming force head-on. She raised the Crimson Ice Sword with both hands and slashed down fiercely. The Crimson Ice Sword collided with the force, producing a deafening sound, and all the power was absorbed by Ji Jiuying.
Then, with a fierce push, a flash of light streaked past, and the Saint-level spirit beast was instantly split in two, its blood splattering everywhere!
