Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

"The righteous energy of heaven and earth, the sun, moon, stars, and the radiant spirit pearl illuminate my path. Returning to the origin, I establish the Five Elements, swiftly!"

Instantly, five bright spots appeared on the map, corresponding to five locations:

Central Juntian Tenglong Valley.

Shepherd's Slope under the Eastern Azure Sky.

Western Azure Bodhi.

The Northern Mysterious Heavenly Floating Corridor Peak.

The last place, the scorching heat of the south, turned out to be the Ghost Pool of the Underworld.

Ren Yunzong was greatly surprised, but the matter was of utmost importance. All five places were indispensable, and they had to find a way to enter the Ghost Pool of the Underworld.

In addition, the floating corridor in the northern Xuantian seems to be inhabited, and one would need to borrow land from the inhabitants.

Ren Yunzong always faced difficulties first and then found things easier. He left Tiandu and headed to the Ghost Pool of the Underworld.

A tense atmosphere pervaded the Ghost Pool of the Underworld.

At this moment, the three young masters standing in the main hall—Red Stream Evil Young Master, Silver Feather Wind Young Master, and Purple Flame Demon Young Master—were all covered in blood.

This was the third time he had entered the Blood Dark Abyss, and like the previous two times, he had returned empty-handed.

The Empress Dowager flew into a rage: "Useless! You are all useless!"

The Black-Clad Swordsman's illness has become very serious. In recent days, he has been conscious for less than an hour each day. The Demon Queen is extremely anxious and is gradually losing her mind.

Zi Yan Demon Shao couldn't help but retort: ​​"The Blood Dark Abyss was opened up using special energy, and it cannot be passed by force alone. If the Demon Queen does not believe it, she can go and try it herself."

"How dare you talk back!"

Red Stream Evil Young Master hurriedly pulled Purple Flame Demon Young Master back. He had led the team three times in a row, and Red Stream Evil Young Master had suffered the most serious injuries.

He bowed his head to the Empress Dowager and begged for forgiveness: "It was my fault for failing in my duties. Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

Seeing this, the ethereal demon official suggested, "Demon Queen, the Blood Dark Abyss is impassable. Why not start from Rahu's side instead?"

"Rahu harbors great hostility towards me. How can I persuade him?"

"Hehe, although we can't do anything to Luo Hou, Tian Du has a large population, and there will always be times when someone gets lost."

A fierce glint flashed in the Demon Queen's eyes, and she immediately agreed: "Young Master Hongliu, I will give you another chance to redeem yourself."

Just then, Ren Yunzong arrived.

The Demon Queen coldly asked, "What brings you, a person who has ascended the path, here?"

Ren Yunzong glanced at the Void Spirit Demon Official and explained his purpose: "Demon Queen, the Dao Shore has been corrupted by demons and requires five days' worth of energy to reignite. The Fiery Qi is currently in the Ghost Pool of the Underworld. I beg the Demon Queen to make an exception."

"Hmph, I raise corpses, you catch ghosts; we are enemies by nature, so why should I help you?"

That's true. Dengdao'an is a branch of the Zhengyi Sect, specializing in talisman making and alchemy. Its disciples also serve as ghost catchers in various parts of the Bitter Realm, and are natural enemies of the Non-Corpse Stream.

The Demon Queen wished for the Heavenly Flame to be extinguished and the entire Taiqing Dao Realm to perish, so naturally she would not offer any assistance.

Ren Yunzong's trip was merely to test the waters. Seeing the Demon Queen's resolute stance, he knew there was no room for negotiation and was about to withdraw when the Void Spirit Demon Official stopped him.

"Master Ren, I've heard that you've been getting quite close to Tian Du Luo Hou lately?"

Ren Yunzong asked cautiously, "What do you mean?"

"If you can persuade Luo Hou to give us a pass to the Blood Dark Abyss, the Underworld Ghost Pool will give you the Blazing Heaven Qi."

"Impossible."

"Then lead your troops to take it. I wonder how many more days the fire that has reached the shore can wait."

"It was Ren Yunzong who disturbed you, please leave."

The unexpected turn of events greatly increased the Demon Queen's hope: "Can Ren Yunzong really persuade Luo Hou?"

The ethereal demon official said ominously, "We'll prepare for both possibilities. The Fiery Qi is a trade, and people can also be traded."

"I understand, Young Master Hongliu, capture them all, regardless of gender or age, as long as they are from Tiandu!"

"Yes!"

Hong Liu and his two companions left the main hall.

Ignoring their wounds, the three of them quickly led a large number of men and a horde of undead to Tiandu, where they lay in ambush a hundred miles away from the West Sea.

Just as the last rays of the setting sun disappeared, a man and a woman returned.

"Xiangling, let's go back quickly. If Wu Jun finds out that I secretly brought you out to play, it will be bad."

"Wu Jun is meddling too much. I am a guest, not a prisoner."

"The world is not peaceful now. It seems as if they all made a pact to appear in the world, such as Tianqiong, the Demon Queen, and the Demon City."

Xiangling was very unhappy: "What does that have to do with me? I'm just an ordinary little woman."

Nanfeng Bujing wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right. What do the affairs of the world have to do with you and me? Who cares who fights for the world or who becomes emperor?"

"I heard that Huang Quan and Cui Luohan have returned. I must go and ask my brother about his situation as soon as possible."

Just then, a blade slashed down, unleashing a surge of demonic energy.

Nanfeng Bujing saw a red-clad swordsman, followed by a purple-clad swordsman.

The two swords were powerful and heavy, and their perfect coordination allowed them to attack Nanfeng Bujing with earth-shattering speed.

"Who dares to be so audacious as to start a massacre outside the capital!"

Although Nanfeng Bujing was surprised, he remained calm and unperturbed. He unleashed a powerful palm strike, pressing down on his two opponents.

"Omen of divine destruction, drink!"

Just as Hongliu and Ziyan were struggling to defeat Nanfeng, Yinyu Fengshao's Azure Sky Bow was already aimed at Xiangling.

Caught off guard by the sudden attack, Xiangling panicked. With only a meager amount of sacrificial spiritual power, she couldn't help but scream.

Seeing this, Yin Yufeng Shao changed his target, spread his wings and drew his bow, transforming his true energy into a sharp arrow, which flew towards Nanfeng Bujing with immense force.

With two palms against two swords, Nanfeng Bujing was brave, but Hongliu and Ziyan were no ordinary masters either. In the midst of the entanglement, he had no time to dodge the sneak attack arrow.

Just when things were at their most critical, a spear flew from the west sea, crossing thousands of acres of waves, and struck the arrow.

boom!

The intense energy exploded in the Western Sea, splashing up hundreds of feet of waves.

"Born from the Abyss, with only the Yellow Springs as its name."

"Ok?"

Amidst the stares of the crowd, a handsome, dashing, and arrogant gunman appeared on the battlefield.

"You've come to Tiandu to cause trouble, you're asking for it!"

Chapter 147 Martial Arts Training and Romance: Both are Parts of Growth

Huang Quan had just returned to Tiandu yesterday, and today the enemy attacked, which made him very excited.

During this time, while stationed at the Tower of Compassion, the only people he saw were craftsmen, bricklayers, plumbers, and crow spirits as bored as he was.

Huang Quan was truly bored.

Because I was so bored, I drank a bit too much alcohol one night.

Because I drank too much alcohol, I went to the wrong room when I went to sleep.

And because they went to the wrong room, something that shouldn't have happened occurred.

Since what shouldn't have happened has already happened, Huang Quan simply let himself go and let such things happen a few more times.

Until Lady Xi and her family arrived.

Huang Quan completed the handover procedures as quickly as possible, and led Ya Hun and the heroine who had remained silent that night, letting the mistake happen, back to Tiandu.

When he stood before Luo Hou to recount this matter, he felt very aggrieved.

"I drank too much that night, she could have easily pushed me away..."

"...So, it's all Miss Cui's fault?"

"If she pushes me away, I will definitely stop."

"You drank too much the following night?"

"Hmph! You wouldn't understand even if I told you."

At this point, Huang Quan was very proud, after all, he was the one who did this, while Luo Hou had not.

Huang Quan grew anxious: "You don't believe me?"

"letter."

Your expression clearly shows disbelief.

"Don't worry, in this era, you are the unparalleled queen in Miss Cui's heart."

"Luo Hou, you've gone too far!"

At this moment, Luo Hou frowned: "Someone is coming."

Hong Liu Xie Shao never expected that the people from Tian Du, who were only a hundred miles away, would arrive so quickly.

Besides Huang Quan, there are Mo Dao Jue Chen, Wangu Chang Kong, and Xiao Ri Biao, as well as a towering figure.

Huang Quan didn't give Hong Liuxie Shao and the others a chance to speak. He drew his Silver Moon Spear, which was as proud as a dragon, and the shadow of the spear was everywhere.

Luo Hou sent the complete "Military Scriptures" to the Slaughter Island as a betrothal gift, and also made a copy for Huang Quan. Except for the "Wasteful Scroll" which he could not practice, he had mastered all the other scrolls.

With the support of the martial arts foundation, Huang Quan's strength has greatly increased, reaching the realm beyond the Innate level.

"The raging dragon spins!"

With one shot, three dragons roared, their momentum carrying thunder, and they attacked Red Stream Evil Young Master, Purple Flame Demon Young Master, and Silver Feather Wind Young Master respectively.

In an instant, the stars changed color, dark clouds obscured the moon, and the Western Sea churned with towering waves.

Luo Hou secretly admired Huang Quan's spear, which was indeed tough enough to withstand three opponents without showing any weakness.

With a sweeping motion, the Crimson Flow Evil Young Master unleashed a burst of crimson blade energy, carrying a heavy demonic power, as he slashed towards the Silver Dragon.
