Mortal: I really didn't want to be reborn as Zi Ling!

Watching her mother's departing figure, Zi Ling gripped the slingshot tightly in her hand.

This slingshot is exquisitely crafted, with the bow body made of thousand-year-old ironwood and the bowstring made of the sinew of a level-six demonic python. A faint buzzing sound can be heard when it is drawn.

There were still more than a dozen Thunderbolts in the storage bag.

Three of them were the Heavenly Thunder Pearls of the Blazing Fire, which his father had purchased at a high price; they were the kind that could severely injure a Core Formation cultivator.

But these things are only suitable for surprise attacks.

In a direct confrontation, she, a cultivator who had just established her foundation, wouldn't even have the chance to get close to the battlefield.

Zi Ling's gaze swept across the entire Demon Suppression Platform.

A crimson light barrier had risen at some point, enveloping the entire building.

A dense red aura flowed down from the light shield, like an overturned bowl of blood, trapping everyone on the Demon-Suppressing Platform.

"Jin Kui was right after all."

Zi Ling murmured to herself, her voice carrying an indescribable bitterness.

"Without strength, no matter how much scheming you do, when faced with the overwhelming trend, it will all be in vain."

In the distance, Wang Heng and Zhou Yuan had already met up.

The two stood back to back, the sounds of the jade flute and pipa intertwining to create streaks of spiritual light, blocking the attacks from Wu Chou and Elder Gu.

Combination attack technique.

The results of the couple's years of hard work day and night were finally coming in handy.

With perfect understanding, the two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending.

Although Wu Chou's attacks were fierce, he was not only unable to defeat the couple for a time, but was even suppressed by them.

Zi Ling gritted her teeth as she watched this scene.

The parents are safe for the time being.

But Feng hope hasn't made a move yet.

Once that level eight transformed demon makes its move, even a Core Formation cultivator would be nothing more than a slightly larger ant in its presence.

The Sixth Elder doesn't know when he will arrive.

Perhaps I won't be able to come.

Perhaps when they arrive, they'll only have time to collect the bodies.

"Hopefully, Feng hope won't attack human cultivators recklessly before his dreams are shattered!"

Zi Ling took a deep breath and looked down at the golden bracelet on her wrist.

Teleportation bracelet.

It was a life-saving item given to her by her parents.

She looked up and took one last look at the battlefield.

Zhou Yuan seemed to sense her daughter's gaze and took a moment to glance at her during a break in their fight.

That look in his eyes was very complicated.

There was reluctance, pride, worry, and a mother's deepest blessing for her child—

I have to go.

Zi Ling gritted her teeth.

She knew very well that Wu Chou was now at a disadvantage, and if she stayed any longer, she would only become a burden.

In a battle between cultivators at the early Foundation Establishment stage and those at the mid-Core Formation stage, one wouldn't even qualify as cannon fodder.

But we just left like that—

She gripped the slingshot tightly, her knuckles turning white, eager to fire.

In the distance, Wu Chou's black aura suddenly surged, engulfing Wang Heng and his wife, and then his gaze actually turned to the viewing platform.

Zi Ling stared at Wu Chou expressionlessly.

Just as she made up her mind and was about to take action, her movements suddenly froze.

As if remembering something, despite her reluctance, she released the slingshot and turned the golden bracelet.

"Next time, I will kill you! Even the most extreme Yin energy won't save you!"

A sudden dizziness.

Zi Ling felt as if she had been thrown into a whirlpool, the surrounding scenery distorted into blurry light and shadow, and the sounds around her were drawn out and strange.

My stomach was churning and my throat felt tight.

Damn it—

Even after experiencing random teleportation countless times, I still find it hard to get used to!

When her vision finally returned to normal, Zi Ling was shocked to find herself being embraced.

Princess hug.

Before she could even process what was happening, the scenery around her was rushing past. The buildings on either side seemed to be pushed backward by something, and the wind whistled in her ears.

Behind me, I could faintly hear the sounds of fierce fighting.

Zi Ling raised her head blankly.

What came into view was an ordinary-looking face.

"Holy crap! It's Han Li!"

Zi Ling shuddered, every pore on her body protesting.

How did I end up in his arms?

Didn't he run away a long time ago?

Why haven't they slipped out yet?

wrong--

None of that matters!

I'm a grown man!

Being held by another man, in this position, must feel incredibly awkward!

Zi Ling began to struggle desperately.

Han Li felt the person in his arms squirming, his brows furrowed, and he shouted sharply:

"Behave yourself, or I'll throw you away. It's not safe here!"

Zi Ling opened her mouth to curse, but after glancing at Han Li's solemn expression, she swallowed her words.

The other person is only concerned about themselves.

However, she really didn't dare to struggle anymore.

However, she remembered this grudge.

The kind of thing that no magic pill can counteract!

-

Han Li was unaware of the little girl's inner thoughts.

He was flying at full speed toward the edge of the Demon-Suppressing Platform, stepping on a blue flying sword, his escape light kept low, skimming close to the rooftop.

Behind them, several black streaks of light relentlessly pursued them.

Those were Foundation Establishment cultivators from Jiyin Island, Wu Chou's subordinates.

Han Li's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers twitched slightly inside his sleeve.

A red thread flew out from the sleeve, silent and swift as lightning.

Red Thread Escape Needle

The cultivator from Jiyin Island who was chasing in the lead didn't even have time to react before a tiny bloodstain appeared between his eyebrows.

The escape light veered off course, and the person plummeted from mid-air.

Han Li didn't even glance at it and continued forward.

He could actually just throw away the person in his arms.

Even though she had reached the Foundation Establishment stage, for a young girl like her, having another person on her during this escape would only be an added burden.

But for some reason, he couldn't bear to throw it away.

It wasn't just because the other person was his savior; the most important thing was that every time he saw the other person, he couldn't help but think of a familiar face from his memory.

That's why he stepped in to save the other person when they fell from mid-air.

You should know that he is not safe right now; the people from Jiyin Island are hot on his heels!

Once Zi Ling calmed down, she turned her head to look at the pursuers behind her and Zhang Tie, who was blocking them, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness I'm a girl now!"

If a little boy fell from the sky, Zi Ling wouldn't believe Han Li's reaction.

Given the other party's nature, even if they don't act immediately, they might stand by and watch, or even stay far away.

If one encounters this group of vicious and ruthless disciples of the Extreme Yin Island while in a state of dizziness, one can basically imagine what will happen to them.

"The exit is a dead end. You're like a headless fly; they'll catch up with you sooner or later."

"What do you mean? You have a way to leave?" Han Li frowned deeply when he found that the area in front of him was blocked by a blood-red shield again.

He knew, of course, that these people had been plotting for a long time and would certainly not let them leave easily.

(Many people are concerned about the protagonist's growth, so don't worry, there is a cheat system. It appears in Chapter 17. To better introduce the subsequent plot, the cheat system comes from the Immortal Realm (I absolutely refuse to admit that I didn't initially plan for a cheat system. Well—it's mainly because everyone is so supportive, and Zi Ling simply wants to rely on her special physique to keep up with Han Li, which is too difficult, so I had to rack my brains to design one). The cheat system was damaged during the Immortal Realm War, is related to the Spirit King of the Spirit Realm, and was later brought to the mortal realm by the Demon Ancestor. It is the key to introducing the underground Demon Palace ruins in the Chaotic Star Sea, the Fallen Demon Valley, and the Kunwu Mountain dungeon... As for what happens next, well—we'll have to wait until I sign the contract before we slowly sort it out.)
