Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

Qian Yuxie infiltrated the Bitter Realm under the orders of Yi Dongqing, and immediately reported:

"The thing the Black Queen cares about most is that Tai Sui has regained Tian Luo Zi's physical body, and the two of them are traveling the world and having a great time."

"really?"

The long-awaited news brought Yi Dongqing great joy.

"If the Black Queen does not believe it, she can go to the Bitter Realm herself and see for herself."

"No! This is not the time for us, mother and son, to meet. Continue, about Shensi?"

Qian Yuxie revealed a strange expression: "If my speculation is correct, Mu Lingshan, who opened the abyss pit at the summit of Yongxu, should be a puppet controlled by divine thought. But after observing him secretly for some time, Mu Lingshan is preaching in various parts of the Bitter Realm, and there is no trace of divine thought on him."

"You mean you've lost track of Shensi's thoughts?"

"Please allow Qianyuxie to investigate further."

What is the current status of the Daozhen lineage?

"The internal strife between the North and South of Daozhen is incessant. Not long ago, Yuan Wuxiang was injured by someone from the Fist Domain and asked a female swordsman named Po Rushuang to treat him. Now, this female swordsman is inseparable from Juan Shoutian, and it seems that they are on the verge of becoming Daoist partners."

"What did you say?!"

The Black Queen suddenly jumped up from her throne, and the black cat she was holding in her arms ran away with a "meow".

Qian Yuxie never expected the Black Queen to react so strongly.

He repeated, "Juan Shoutian seems to have found a Daoist partner. Should we eliminate him together?"

"Po Rushuang! I can't believe she's still alive! She actually? How dare she!"

"Ok?"

"Po Rushuang is my younger sister, and Juan Shoutian is the enemy who wiped out the Tianqiang tribe. How can she be with Juan Shoutian! Prime Minister, you lead the people to rebuild Zangtian Pass. I will personally oversee the Bitter Realm!"

"Qian Yuxie obeys the order."

At this moment, Po Rushuang and Juan Shoutian are facing each other with swords drawn at the ruins of the Tianqiang tribe.

The setting sun shines on the yellow earth, and the evening wind blows across the barren hills.

Row upon row of dilapidated graves, line upon line of blood and tears shed for the extermination of a clan.

Life and death, love and hatred, can only be settled with a sword in the end.

"Juan Shoutian, I'm giving you one last chance to take back your nonsense."

“Po Rushuang, I will not only defeat you in one move, but also erase all traces of the Tianqiang tribe from this world, because the Tianqiang tribe should have been wiped out in that battle long ago.”

"You're so tired of collecting things!"

"I'll kill you first, then your brother, and the Tianqiang tribe will be finished."

"boast!"

The Five Immortal Swords rise, shaking Yin and Yang, Heaven and Earth.

In an instant, the sword net closed in on him, but Juan Shoutian remained calm and unmoved.

"Suiren breaks through the darkness!"

Juan Shoutian drew his sword with a backhand motion, but suddenly stopped just before he could finish.

"You're so tired of collecting things!"

A sword pierced his heart, and blood rained down—a scene Po Rushuang could hardly believe.

“You saved Yuan Wuxiang’s life, and I will return this life to you. I hope that the feud between Daozhen and the Tianqiang tribe will end here.”

"No, I will never let you die! Nuwa repairs the wounds, drink!"

Po Rushuang used the healing technique from the Five Immortal Swords, channeling a surge of true energy into Juan Shoutian's body, gradually stopping the gushing blood flow.

"Walk."

Po Rushuang picked up Juan Shoutian and returned to the Lake and Sea Star Waves base.

"Juan Shoutian, your sword wound still needs the water essence from the drifting bird boy. I will go and ask for it now. You should rest well first."

"If you want to kill me, why save me?"

“Juan Shoutian, no matter what you think, I want to make it clear at this moment that you, Juan Shoutian, are deeply engraved in my heart. I will not only save you, but also heal your eyes so that you can see my face clearly, and heal your heart so that you can accept my heart.”

"you……"

"Wait for me."

A single lamp, dim as a bean, illuminates the tiny room.

Even though I couldn't see the sky, I could feel its warmth.

Suddenly, the door of the thatched hut was kicked open, and Chu Kuangshidi, disguised as a Fist Domain Strategist but actually Po Rushuang's elder brother, barged in.

"Juan Shoutian, you really are here! You executioner who wiped out your clan and family, how dare you enjoy my forgiveness!"

Chu Kuangshi grabbed Juan Shoutian and shook him violently, his boundless hatred surging forth.

"Do you still recognize Chu Kuangshidi, the man you cleaved in the face with your sword?"

"Do you still recognize Baili Dingshi, who trained his invincible body to kill you?"

"Can you still recognize the depth of your unrequited hatred beneath this molten face?"

"Though you are blind, Heaven has opened its eyes, finally allowing me to avenge my people with my own hands!"

After venting his anger, Chu Kuangshi raised his longsword and slashed down.

Just then, a sword aura flew in from outside the thatched hut, swiftly and fiercely piercing towards Chu Kuangshidi's throat.

"Little sister, ah!"

Along with the sword energy bursting in was Po Rushuang, who had just returned after obtaining the Water Element.

"Big brother? Big brother!"

Po Rushuang was filled with remorse and wept bitterly while holding her elder brother.

The sword in his hand fell sadly. Just an inch away from avenging his great enemy, Chu Kuangshi died with resentment.

"Juan Shoutian, you've won... Little sister, promise me, if you have any descendants, they absolutely cannot bear the surname Juan..."

"Brother, I'm sorry!"

Upon hearing this tragic scene of family tragedies, Juan Shoutian, who had fallen to the ground, was heartbroken and devastated.

Lakes and seas ripple with stars, waves roar mournfully.

Outside the Jade Heart Nest, the bitter wild flowers bloom in abundance.

Qian Yuxie, returning to Yuxinwo from the Black Sea Forest Prison, was surprised to see a figure standing under the Bitter Barbarian Flower Tree, with the little child Ruoye Ruying standing blankly to the side.

"Ru Ying? Who has come to visit Yu Xinwo?"

When Ye Ruying came to her senses, she ran back to his side: "Prime Minister, he said he is the Lord of Tiandu, named Luohou."

Qian Yuxie was suddenly startled: "The Heavenly Capital Martial Lord?"

"Of course."

The newcomer turned around, and what came into Qian Yuxie's eyes was a solemn face, seemingly both distant and near, as distant as a deity from beyond the heavens, and as near as a mountain beside her.

It is as deep and unfathomable as an abyss, and cannot be looked at directly.

"What brings you here, Lord Wu?"

Should I address you as Qian Yuxie or Crimson Hand Kuizhang?

"What did you say!"

“Speak what you and I both know.”

Qian Yuxie suppressed his fear and killing intent; he knew he could never shake the person before him.

"Ruying, quickly go and make some light bulb tea."

"Yes."

Ru Ying ran quickly back to the inner room, lit several palace lanterns, and then went to boil water.

"No need for the servants to work, the Jade Heart Nest in the night has a unique charm."

Qian Yuxie had come to her senses. Although her biggest secret had been discovered, Luo Hou's solo arrival must have provided an opportunity for a turnaround.

"Why shouldn't you speak frankly, Lord Wu?"

"I'm here for cooperation. You do two things for me, and I'll provide you with two pieces of information."

"That depends on what information Wu Jun provides and what Qian Yuxie is asked to do."

"These two pieces of information are about Gui Fang Chi Ming and about the Red Crown King's Ring."

"You actually know about Guifang Chiming and Wang Jie?"

"how?"

This is why Qian Yuxie has been an undercover agent in the Black Sea Forest Prison for so long. Despite his high position as prime minister and his close relationship with the Black Queen and several princes, he still hasn't been able to find out any useful clues.

Qian Yuxie's heart skipped a beat. If there was someone who knew information that he didn't, then there was only one possibility: that person was possessed by a divine mind.

There was no divine aura emanating from Luo Hou; perhaps he was concealing it using some kind of secret technique.

Since Qian Yuxie had made up his mind, he stopped asking questions. As long as his mind could give him the clues he wanted, he didn't care who he possessed.

"What does Lord Wu need me to do?"

"First, I will obtain the Heavenly Shrine from the Forest Prophet; second, I will persuade Ruoye Zhi Qiu of the Ruoye family to join Tiandu, and I will use his skillful hands to create something."

"Well..."

Qian Yuxie pondered for a long time. These two things were somewhat troublesome, but they were still manageable. Compared to the value of Gui Fang Chiming and the Red Crown King Ring, he was certainly in a better position.

However, the Ditian Shrine is a tool used to subdue Shensi. If Luo Hou is truly possessed by Shensi, what use would he have for the Ditian Shrine?

Is the intention to destroy it in advance so that no one can force him out in the future?

Qian Yuxie became more and more certain the more she thought about it.

At this moment, Ru Ying brought over tea: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, please have some tea."
