Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"Oh? So it's the young Taoist priest."

Chi Jing remained silent, approached the older girl, and stared at her greedily.

Ling Ziling reached out and blocked Yan Pianpian's way: "You're bad people! Get out of here! Sister Coral will be back soon!"

"Go away!"

Chi Jing pushed Ling Ziling away and placed his hands on Yan Pianpian's body. A shrill scream was heard, and black scales appeared on Yan Pianpian's limbs.

In the blink of an eye, the scales peeled off Yan Pianpian's body and flew into Chi Jing's body, slowly healing the wound on his waist.

When the last scale was absorbed, thick scales appeared on Chijing's waist, resembling a suit of armor, tightly integrated into his flesh.

At this moment, a tremendous palm strike came from afar, imbued with the profound energy of Taoism.

Chi Jing abandoned Yan Pianpian, who was now covered in blood, and quickly left with Ning Yuan and Jia Ling.

Chapter 127 Peace has always been a luxury.

Just after Ningyuan, Chijing, and Jialing left, a figure with an air of otherworldly grace flew swiftly into Liudie Dreamland.

"Ling Ziling, how are you?!"

Ling Ziling burst into tears: "Azhen, quickly save Pianpian!"

The newcomer was dressed in a Taoist robe, carrying the Wuhuan Flute and the Qitian Sword on his back, and had an extremely handsome face.

It was Ren Yunzong, a master of innate cultivation who had ascended to the Dao Shore, and also Ling Ziling's junior disciple. He had been traveling the martial world for many days in search of her.

Seeing Yan Pianpian covered in blood, Ren Yunzong didn't have time to talk to Ling Ziling. He quickly probed Yan Pianpian's body, then gently flipped his palm and sent out a stream of Taiqing Xuanqi to suppress the scorching fire on Yan Pianpian's body.

Pianpian's cries of pain gradually subsided.

Ren Yunzong then asked, "Lingziling, who injured Pianpian?"

“There were three strangers, one of whom plucked the scales off Pianpian’s body.”

"Ok?"

Just then, the owner of Liudie Dreamland, Jishanhu, and his close friend Qinghaichao returned at the same time.

Seeing the garden in such a mess, with crimson stains all over the ground, he was shocked: "What is this?"

Ling Ziling recounted what had just happened: "That's the whole story... Ah Zhen is my junior apprentice."

Ji Shanhu hurriedly thanked Ren Yunzong for saving Yan Pianpian's life and introduced Qing Haichao. The three of them exchanged pleasantries.

Upon examining his surroundings, Ji Shanhu's expression changed drastically: "The aura here is exactly the same as the one I felt when I first passed through this place. Could it be that the demon from a thousand years ago is still alive?"

Qinghai Chao and Jishanhu had been separated for a long time, but recently they have reconnected.

Upon hearing this, he asked in surprise, "What kind of demon? I observe that this demonic energy is similar to that of the Fire House Buddhist Prison, but the Fire House Buddhist Prison was destroyed by Rahu and the righteous alliance in the Battle of the Desert Forest."

"It's a long story. A long time ago, Pianpian accidentally witnessed a monster shedding its skin and transforming here... Fortunately, I happened to pass by and saved her with my icy energy. I never expected that someone would come knocking on such a quiet place."

Qinghai Chao roared angrily, "There is no pure land in this world!"

Ren Yunzong suddenly recalled a recent rumor: "When I was searching for Ling Ziling in various places, I heard that the Ni Yu tribe, which had long secluded itself from the world, was wiped out overnight. All the tribe members died from a kind of evil fire. I wonder if it has anything to do with the Fire House Buddhist Prison?"

Qing Haichao's expression immediately changed: "The Rainbow Feather Clan? This is bad!"

"how was it?"

"Among the allied forces that attacked the Fire House Buddhist Prison that day were the Holy One Adoni of the Rainbow Feather Clan, and my younger sister. I need to inform Lue City as soon as possible."

"Then go and report this quickly."

"Farewell for now."

Qing Haichao left Liudie Dreamland and went to Luecheng to inform Lady Xi.

Ren Yunzong also left with Ling Ziling: "If there is anything you need, Fairy, you may come to the Ascending Shore. Thank you."

"Thank you, please."

Ji Shanhu picked up Yan Pianpian and found that her body had stabilized and she was fast asleep.

Weird!

The scales on Pianpian's body had plagued her for thousands of years, and had long since become one with her flesh and blood. If they were forcibly pulled out, it would endanger Pianpian's life.

It's unbelievable that someone could pull it out. Who is this person?

At this time, the Heartless Clinic had two more patients, one sitting and one lying down.

Sitting was Murong Qing, who was circulating her internal energy to resist the corrosive effects of the Moth Sky Evil Flame. Lying down was Jian Zhichu, his face pale, clearly seriously injured.

Chou Weiyang first examined Jian Zhichu's pulse by thread: "Jian Zhichu's arrow wound is right in his heart meridian, which is very serious."

He gathered the silk threads, flicked his fingers lightly, and inserted a set of Yunmeng Xuan Needles into the major acupoints of Jian Zhichu's body.

As soon as the sword was first drawn, wisps of black energy began to emanate from its seven orifices.

As the black aura slowly dissipated, Jian Zhichu's complexion regained a rosy hue.

Murong Qing's anger had subsided, and he hurriedly stood up: "My friend, how is Jian Zhichu's injury?"

"This arrow is fierce and domineering, but fortunately, the sword has a solid foundation from the beginning. As long as you take this pill and rest quietly for half a day, you should be fine. During this time, remember not to use your true strength."

Chou Weiyang took out a magic pill and handed it to Murong Qing.

Murong Qing helped Jian Zhichu up, fed him, and then felt relieved.

Chou Weiyang stared at Murong Qing for a moment, then frowned and asked, "The Evil Flame of the Moth Sky did not harm you. Could it be that you have activated the seal of Adoni within your body?"

"If it weren't for Adoni's power, I would have already died at the hands of the Demon Prince."

“However, once you use Adoni’s power, you will be unable to counter that person’s secret technique, and they will catch up soon.”

Murong Qing remained silent.

Sorrowful Weiyang sighed, "There's something else I have to tell you."

"Ok?"

"Wan Nian Chun was slaughtered by the Demon Prince, and Granny Ling escaped with Fei Lu. Unexpectedly, they were chased by a mysterious person on the way. Fei Lu was captured, and Granny Ling was already exhausted when she reached Feng Hui Xiao Yuan."

"what!"

“I checked all the way and didn’t find the group that kidnapped Feilu, but the traces of demonic fire left by Wan Nianchun are the same as the Evil Fire of Moth in your body. It must be the work of the Demon Prince.”

"The Demon Prince! How hateful!"

Murong Qing cried out in grief.

"Alas, my friend, the world is a dangerous place, and conflicts are hard to resolve. You and Jian Zhichu should retire into seclusion."

"I must avenge the grudge against the Rainbow Feather Clan!"

After Chou Weiyang left, Jian Zhichu opened his eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this."

"none of your business."

“My friend, I have wronged you, Sword Prince. I will settle this debt for you.”

"There is no need for apologies between us! Come with me to the eternal spring."

"Ah."

The two supported each other as they arrived at the quiet village, which had been reduced to ashes. Although several days had passed, the air was still filled with the smell of roasted meat.

"vomit!"

Murong Qing leaned against the tombstone, vomiting incessantly.

The tomb was built by Chou Weiyang. The remains, burned beyond recognition, could only be piled up in the same grave.

There is no pure land in this world; the cold wind howls.

Murong Qing knelt down.

During the ancient catastrophe, the first lord and his wife poured their power into Murong Qing to save him, which led to the extermination of the Ni Yu clan by the Baiyin Kingdom.

Young Murong Qing was overwhelmed and lost her memory.

Many years later, he regained his memories of Adoni, but dared not face his true identity. Ling Po came to see him several times, but Murong Qing never came to Wannianchun to see him.

Now that I have come, my people have been implicated and buried in the earth.

Endless guilt.

Endless regret.

"Adoni hereby swears: even if I go to hell, I will make the Demon Prince pay with his life!"

On a distant peak, a man gazed down at the Heavenly Azure Spring at the foot of the mountain for a long time.

Within the spiritual spring, a vast underground city can be vaguely seen, its eerie, cold light constantly floating about.

Unfortunately, with his abilities, he was unable to delve deep into the spirit spring, and the time was not yet ripe to open this underground city.

Just as Murong Qing released Adoni from her seal, the man turned around and glanced back, a cold smile on his face.

"People say that weary birds return to their nests, but there is one bird that is different. It insists on experiencing the pain of having its wings broken before it will turn back. Lone Feather, I have been looking for you for so many years. This time, you will not escape from my grasp."

"I pray to see the Emperor!"

A woman wearing a small white cap, kneeling behind this man, asked, "Chief Instructor, what are you saying?"

"there is nothing."

"After the Holy City is opened, will the Heavenly Emperor really be able to descend?"

"I pray for an audience with the Holy One! Do not doubt the power of the Heavenly Emperor."

Chapter 128 Major Infrastructure Construction in the Four Realms (Final Chapter of the Four Demons' Story)

Asura resumed his role as a contractor and took charge of major infrastructure projects across the four realms.

The length of time this project took to complete, the scale of the project, the difficulty of the construction, and the richness of its content are unprecedented in the history of the region.

The overall project is further divided into several sub-projects, which are, from top to bottom, as follows:

Four Tianyuan Line Upgrades: To express its support, Shiyi Tiancheng added three more Tianyuan pipelines, bringing the total number of pipelines to ten.
