Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

During this time, Little Fox had enough to talk about, telling Little Rabbit about his experience that night hundreds of times, and Little Rabbit exclaimed in surprise hundreds of times.

"That night, it was snowing heavily. I was worried about the safety of Tiandu, so I decided to go out and patrol..."

Luo Hou interrupted him: "Get to the point."

"Right in the snow, I heard a strange noise, and this fox spirit decided to go and investigate..."

"Ok?"

The little fox swallowed hard and said the last sentence: "Red Eyes crawled out of the graveyard."

Luo Hou moved swiftly and arrived at the place where Chi Jing was originally buried. Sure enough, the grave had been dug up, with traces of digging from the inside out.

He crouched down.

A faint, malevolent flame still lingered in the pit, a familiar scent from my nightmares.

The people from Tiandu followed and asked one after another, "Martial Lord, how could Chi Jing, who was struck by the Fallen Star Slaying Technique, be resurrected?"

As fears proved true, Xie Tianyu, the destined rival, has reappeared.

I don't know if this is my own misfortune, or the misfortune of Xie Tianyuwu, or even the entire Fire House Buddhist Prison.

Luo Hou said calmly, "The Fire Prison has been completely eradicated. Even if Xie Tianyuwu is resurrected, he is nothing more than a wisp of a soul wandering on the land of suffering. There is no need to panic."

Aside from this incident, Yu Bufan sent another message, saying that the Holy Chronicles of the End Times had opened a demon city and released a demon coffin.

While everyone was discussing the strange coffin, the young master of Luecheng, Chizi Xin, rushed to Tiandu with even more unfortunate news: "Martial Lord, my father is dead!"

"How could the Lord of Ghost Valley City know this?"

The opening of the Heavenly Demon City and the emergence of the Demon-Slaying Heavenly Coffin were all within expectations.

But the Kingdom of the Dead never invaded, and Xiao Ri Biao was perfectly fine in Tian Du, not going crazy and stabbing people randomly. How could Gui Gu Cang Long have died?

"There are spies from the Niyu tribe in Lue City. They've blamed Father for the massacre of the Niyu tribe years ago. Here are the details..."

Du Xiaonian, a descendant of the Niyu clan, worked with the undercover agent Jie Sui to kill Guigu Canglong.

Although the two were quickly captured by Lady Xi, Guigu Canglong turned into a zombie and wandered around aimlessly all day.

Lady Xi sent Chi Zi Xin to inform her that she had discovered the place where the Ghost Valley Hidden Dragon lived, which seemed to be a demon's stronghold.

"Wu Jun, my mother tracked down the ghost pool in the underworld and was almost killed. She asks you to go and check on her."

"I understand. Please accept my deepest condolences to your mother."

Chi Zixin continued, "Also, Uncle discovered demonic energy in Liudie Dreamland, which seems to originate from the Fire House Buddhist Prison. Uncle is worried that the Demon Prince will bring new variables."

"Leaving behind the dreamland of butterflies, where flames flutter."

"Wu Jun, you know about this too? Yan Pianpian's demonic scales were plucked off, and Uncle suspects it was the Demon Prince who did it."

"Young Master Guigu, please make a trip to Tuisongyan and convey these two matters to Su Huanzhen. I will handle the matter of the Demon Prince personally."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

The Demon Prince is related to Xie Tianyuwu, and this feud cannot be entrusted to others. As for other matters, Su Laojian should handle them. He cannot be allowed to remain idle.

However, some people's trajectories have changed, while others' fates remain the same. Since Guigu Canglong has turned into a corpse, the Demon Queen and the Evil Lord Dao may emerge in response.

With the addition of Hao Tianqiong and Tianyan Demon City, the Bitter Realm has entered another period of calamity.

There truly are endless demons and evil spirits in this world, and there are truly endless mediocre people to laugh at. How pathetic! How pathetic!

Recalling a famous quote from Yi Ye Shu, Luo Hou, who was originally preparing for his wedding in peace, felt a weight on his shoulders.

But before one wave subsided, another arose.

Just as Chi Zixin left Tiandu, another stranger came to visit. He was a melancholy man with disabilities in both legs who moved by leaning on a stone seat.

"Lord Wu, I apologize for disturbing you. I am Chou Weiyang, and I have come here regarding Murong Qing."

"Murong Qing, how is he?"

"To seek revenge, Murong Qing made a deal with the Doomsday Holy Chronicle, opening the Heavenly Yama Demon City, and so on..."

Chou Weiyang recounted in detail how Murong Qing twice sought revenge against the Demon Prince, only to be humiliated instead.

He added, "At the beginning of the sword fight, he was first wounded by the Martial Lord's sword, and then by the arrow from the Tower of Compassion. Before his body had fully recovered, he forcibly used his true power to save Murong Qing, which resulted in a backlash. Now he is half crippled."

"I am very sorry."

"The Heaven and Earth Sword Technique is not the responsibility of the Martial Lord. However, Murong Qing has gone missing in Tianyan Demon City. After discussing with me, Jian Zhichu wants to ask the Martial Lord for help to rescue Murong Qing."

Luo Hou pondered. He had just instructed Chi Zi Xin to inform Su Huanzhen that he did not wish to get involved in the matter of Tianyan Demon City.

Seeing that Luo Hou remained silent, Chou Weiyang was extremely anxious and immediately revealed the decision he and Jian Zhichu had made: "Wu Jun, Jian Zhichu is willing to exchange ten volumes of the 'Military Manual of Armor and Martial Arts' for your help in saving Murong Qing."

"Ok?"

"Hundreds of years ago, Murong Qing established the Heartless Pavilion to collect information on the 'Military Scripture of Armor and Martial Arts.' Now, except for the final Scroll of Life, the other ten scrolls have been obtained. However, only the royal lineage of the Shattered Island can master the Scroll of Waste."

The "Military Manual" is indeed a good thing. If King Jiwu were to learn the whole set, her foundation would be further strengthened.

What troubled him was that this martial arts manual was written by King Yadi, and according to the right of succession, it should rightfully belong to his son. Moreover, the ten volumes that were scattered were all collected by Jian Zhichu.

As a man, Luo Houshi did not want his wife to have any further involvement with Jian Zhichu, nor did he want her to benefit from anyone, even if it was just a set of martial arts.

She would pluck stars and the moon for her, but no other man would give her even a single foxtail grass.

But now, not only did Jian Zhichu come to him for help, but Murong Qing also suffered the Demon Prince's revenge for assisting him in suppressing the greedy and evil Fumu.

If we trace the cause, the wheel of the Niyu Clan's extinction began turning the moment I stepped into the Heartless Pavilion.

This is his cause and effect.

"Mr. Chou, please tell Jian Zhichu that I will rescue Murong Qing."

"Thank you, Lord Wu."

Chou Weiyang felt relieved for the moment and then took her leave: "I still need to find Su Huanzhen and tell him the secret of the Doomsday Holy Transmission. This place is ostensibly a religious organization, but in reality, it is utterly depraved and traffics people for huge profits."

Luo Hou strongly supports this view, believing that Su Huanzhen must intervene to deal with the cult.

This is called fighting poison with poison.

"Mr. Chou has worked hard."

"Please."

After Chou Weiyang left, Luo Hou instructed Nanfeng Bujing: "Go to Xiangyue Residence and bring Xiangling to Tiandu. Chijing is not dead, and the Demon Prince will surely harm her."

Nanfeng was both excited and apprehensive: "She might not want to come with me."

"Knock him out and carry him here."

"Yes!"

With the wedding approaching, my sister-in-law absolutely cannot have anything happen to her in this difficult situation.

After dealing with these matters, Luo Hou inquired about everyone's progress in practicing the Scroll of Life. He was relieved to learn that they had all mastered it.

"Manlu, I am getting married in three months. Please take all the ladies and help me prepare for the wedding."

These words were like a thunderbolt from the sky, leaving everyone in Tiandu utterly stunned.

"A grand wedding?"

Who is the bride?

"What exactly happened to Wu Jun in the Four Realms?"

Luo Hou smiled and said, "Bride, we'll find out on the wedding day. Start preparing now."

Ling Shuixian asked, "How can I prepare the wedding dress size if I don't know who the bride is?"

As Luo Hou recalled, he gestured with his hands: "His height was up to my ear, and his waist was about this size, very thin."

"Hehehe~"

Seeing everyone covering their mouths and snickering, Luo Hou realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Wu Jun is very familiar with the bride's measurements."

"..."

This good news swept away the previous worries about Chi Jing's resurrection, Guigu Canglong's corpse transformation, and Murong Qing's capture, and everyone in Tiandu immediately threw themselves into new busy work.

No matter how the outside world changes, nothing is more important than the marriage of the King of Wu.

Luo Hou had no time to rest and rushed to Yanliu Village.

Murong Qing is not in mortal danger in Tianyan Demon City, but the Demon Prince is like a high-energy nuclear bomb that could explode at any moment. Luo Hou is not at ease until he sees it with his own eyes.

Yanliu Village was originally a peaceful and tranquil village with about 300 people. The villagers were simple and honest, working at sunrise and resting at sunset.

Unexpectedly, a few days ago, Chi Jing arrived with the Demon Prince and Jia Ling, shattering the peace of this place.

Luo Hou entered the village but did not see the tall statue of the Demon Prince. However, the entire village had become a high-temperature, enclosed space.

There was no trace of the Demon Prince in the village, only bones scattered everywhere, and dozens of people gasping for breath in the sweltering heat.

Jialing gripped his spear tightly, watching Luohou warily.

Luo Hou struck out with his palm, breaking the seal and slowly releasing a refreshing mountain breeze.

The villagers immediately swarmed over, greedily breathing in the fresh air.

Luo Hou asked, "What happened here?"

Jialing hesitated, as if he wanted to speak.

Several villagers cried out, "Help us, hero! That monster has dug out magma from deep underground, and we're going to die from the heat!"

"Hero, please help us! Let us out!"

Yanliu Village was originally built on a volcanic crater, with active, fiery lava flowing deep underground.

After Chi Jing was resurrected, although he absorbed the demonic scales from Yan Pianpian's body, he was still not in his prime. He went to Yanliu Village to use the underground magma there to strengthen the Flame Dragon Demon Body.

Having figured out the reason, Luo Hou's eyes sharpened, and he asked Jia Ling again, "Where did he go?"

"I don't know. The Demon Prince only instructed me to guard these villagers."

The villagers cried out, "We used to have more than 300 people, but now only a few dozen are left. They either fell into the lava or were eaten by that monster."

"Hero, please save us!"
