The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

As for friends?

Of course, they are friends, friends who contribute the lifespan and blood essence of demons.

For Bai Qian, it's probably hard to imagine any other friend who could make her feel more affectionate than these friends who contributed both their lifespan and their blood essence to the demons.

The lion demon could only move its eyes. After hearing Bai Qian's words, its eyes twitched twice. Although it completely disagreed with what Bai Qian said, it could only suppress its frustration and dare not say a word at this moment.

There was a slight pause, but this seemingly stalemate was quickly interrupted by a woman in red who hurriedly walked out of the lotus altar.

The master of this lotus altar was also the person the lion demon initially relied on.

"Who are you?" The altar master hurriedly walked out of the lotus altar and the first thing he saw was the lion demon who had been separated into four limbs and was lying on the ground like a human stick, and Bai Qian squatting next to the lion demon.

She stopped and frowned as she looked at Bai Qian.

The situation was a bit strange. It wasn't that she didn't know the lion demon, but it was precisely because she knew this lion demon that she felt something was off.

When the lion demon saw the woman in red come out, a glimmer of expectation appeared in its beastly eyes.

In any case, as long as she comes out, that's fine. As long as she can connect with Lotus Mother and bring down a wisp of Lotus Mother's power, even if she can't defeat her, she can at least force her to retreat. Then everyone can survive.

You should quickly communicate with the deity of your sect.

At this moment, the lion demon looked at the woman in red with only one thought in mind.

It still vividly remembered what happened in the temple hall. This person was completely unreasonable; you couldn't reason with him.

Unfortunately, no matter what it wanted to express or what it wanted to tell the woman in red, she clearly didn't seem to be able to listen, especially since it couldn't speak at the moment.

The altar master didn't notice the lion demon's gaze, but instead focused on Bai Qian, pondering her origins.

She had no recollection of Bai Qian. There was definitely no such person in Taiheng City before. The sect had mentioned her, saying that there was someone in Changcheng Prefecture who needed to be watched. However, Changcheng Prefecture was quite far from Taiheng City. That person had always been active in Changcheng Prefecture, so it was unlikely that she would suddenly come to Taiheng City.

I didn't expect Bai Qian's identity, but I'm sure she's no pushover. The lion demon is, after all, a third-realm cultivator, even if he's the weakest one.

She was not much different from the lion demon, but this was the Lotus Altar, which was almost equivalent to the Lotus Mother's place of worship. In other words, as long as she stood here, she would not be afraid even if difficulties and tribulations came her way. Therefore, she did not feel any awe when facing Bai Qian.

"Although I don't know what grudge you have against it, it is a friend of our sect. If possible, could you please spare it for now? Whatever the grudge, I can help resolve it."

Bai Qian remained squatting, the hem of her white robes dangling on the ground, stained with blood. Upon hearing this, she turned to look at the woman in red.

“I can handle it myself,” she replied softly.

The woman in red was confused, but the lion demon lying next to her seemed to have realized something.

It suddenly raised its head, its mane standing on end like steel needles, and brownish-red smoke billowed from its seven orifices.

"Quiet," Bai Qian said calmly, watching the lion demon's panting movements, which resembled a cat's hiss.

When I placed my palm on its head, it immediately froze.

“I think you might want to think this over carefully before making a decision. If we’re talking about making friends, perhaps we could become friends,” the woman in red said, squinting her eyes. She was only going this far because the lion demon was indeed of some use to her.

If she hadn't been worried that taking action rashly would provoke Bai Qian into doing something even more extreme, she would have already acted.

Bai Qian glanced at her after hearing her words.

"it is good."

"I will think about it carefully." Bai Qian nodded in agreement.

The hand placed on the lion demon's head fell lightly, and the huge head first dented, then burst open like a water bag.

The lion demon's worries could be considered completely dispelled. After all, without a head, there were certainly no more worries or troubles. It is said that without worries and troubles, there is only happiness left.

Although the lion demon has lost its head, it has gained happiness, so all things considered, it's still a win.

This is what Bai Qian should do as a friend, especially since she received a friend's fee.

"I've thought it over." Bai Qian, her slender fingers dripping with blood, slipped into her pristine white sleeves. She stood up and looked at the woman in red, a few drops of blood still splattered on her cheek.

She looked at the woman in red opposite her, who was clearly stunned for a moment.

"If you want to make friends, please pay a friend fee."

With a light, gentle grasp, I hold the [candy].

The woman in red finally realized what was happening and took a step back. She clearly sensed that Bai Qian was acting strangely.

Squinting at Bai Qian, the woman in red noticed that one after another, alluring lotus flowers were blooming on her skin. These lotus flowers seemed to grow out of her skin, then forcefully emerged from it. They resembled some kind of living monster, revealing one sharp tooth after another.

Even so, the woman in red still felt somewhat unsafe. Just as she was about to try to contact the Lotus Mother and obtain a wisp of her power...

Bai Qian raised her hand, her slender white fingers grasping [Su Tang], and the longsword emitted a light and agile sword sound.

The woman in red stood frozen in place.

It wasn't that she didn't want to move, but because...

It sounded like some kind of mournful cry in my ear, not from any living creature, but from the sound of a building crumbling.

Right behind her, the tower-like lotus altar appeared to be sliced ​​in two like a cake, with the top half slowly sliding down.

Even the slightest remnant of the sharp sword energy made one feel as if their skin was about to be pierced.

That's not the scariest thing, actually.

The scariest thing is...

She could no longer contact Lotus Mother.

They were cut off from the world.

There's only one day left this month, but I still have about 30,000 to 40,000 words left to finish the bounty. I'm so sorry, I'm a useless author (kowtows). I'll try my best to finish the rest in the next two weeks.

Please read on and vote! Love you all!

Volume 1: 239. Let's see if you can revive faster or I can kill faster (3499)

The woman in red stood frozen in place, staring at the girl in moon-white opposite her, her body stiff and unable to move.

The world around her hadn't changed; the wind was still the wind, the land was still the same land, and the overcast sky was still the same.

Turn around and you might see the lotus altar gradually collapsing behind you.

But she was acutely aware that she was facing an enemy more terrifying than ever before.

Because she could no longer feel the connection with Lotus Mother.

The area near the lotus altar has long been subtly eroded into a different kind of incense offering place, where they can connect with the Lotus Mother to obtain her power whenever they want.

Without connecting with the Lotus Mother, these altar masters might only reach the level of the third realm [observation], but after connecting with the Lotus Mother, they can even reach the [difficult] realm.

But now, let alone colluding with one's own gods, it's even uncertain whether one is still in the underworld at all.

It's as if they've been banished to another world.

He stood stiffly, staring at Bai Qian, who was looking down at him. He moved his body a couple of times, but still didn't know what to do.

Bai Qian didn't even look at the woman in red; she was also somewhat puzzled by the current situation.

She was just trying out a method she had thought of before, because she had obtained information about the Four Realms from Lingxi, and she had been spacing out these past few days thinking about the Four Realms.

She wasn't very bright, and it was impossible for her to figure out how to advance to the fourth realm just by thinking about what Lingxi said. However, she still managed to come up with a solution, albeit with some difficulty.

Anyway, according to Lingxi, the key to the Four Realms is to find a way to turn the incense offerings from illusion to reality. Bai Qian doesn't have an incense offering, but if you want to say it's an illusory space, then it still exists.

Willow Shade Mansion is a derivative of [Earth Goddess Willow Fairy]. This space was created by the effect of [Furnace Heart]. But so far, Bai Qian has not seen any use for Willow Shade Mansion, or even that she has ever used this space.

But if you treat it as a place for offerings and prayers, then it's barely acceptable.

As for what Bai Qian is doing now, she doesn't know what she's doing. She's just relying on her intuition. Through the interaction of [Sugar Candy], [Furnace Core], and Willow Shade Mansion, she separates people from the world. This is done with the power of [Sugar Candy], and the power is maintained by [Furnace Core]. After separating people from the world, she puts them into Willow Shade Mansion.

It's the effect of combining three abilities together.

but......

Bai Qian looked around at the scene and frowned slightly.

It is said that people were put into the Willow Shade Mansion, but in reality, it is not very stable. It doesn't even show the most basic appearance of the Willow Shade Mansion. Apart from feeling disconnected from the world, there is nothing else.

There were neither mountains nor willow trees in sight.

It was as if they were wrapped in a thin veil, but this veil was so fragile that it would break at the slightest touch, and it was quite different from what Bai Qian had imagined.

But after all, it was my first time trying it, so it's okay if it's a little different from what I imagined.

This method can be further enhanced by upgrading the Willow Shade Mansion. Judging from the current situation, as long as the strength of the Willow Shade Mansion continues to be improved, it may be possible to successfully construct the Willow Shade Mansion in reality.

This is probably the key to advancing to the fourth realm?

As for how to construct the Willow Shade Mansion, a general idea had already been developed: let the [Furnace Core] continuously devour new bizarre incarnations, and then fill the Willow Shade Mansion with the things corresponding to these bizarre incarnations.

But simply filling it in doesn't seem to be very effective; we need to do something else.

Bai Qian stood there, lost in thought, completely ignoring the red-clad woman opposite her.

Although Bai Qian ignored the woman in red opposite her, the woman in red was already terrified. She was filled with nothing but anxiety.

After waiting for a long time, Bai Qian still hadn't done anything.

He couldn't understand Bai Qian's thoughts at all, but he knew that if he kept waiting like this, all he would get was death.

She dared not make a sound, for fear that if she did, she would attract Bai Qian's attention.

After all, the example of the Lion Demon is still fresh in everyone's mind.

To be honest, the lion demon hadn't even done anything before this guy slapped its head off.

She didn't think she was much stronger than that lion demon, or that she could expect him to give her any preferential treatment. The lion demon slapped her once, but would he slap her twice?

Is this considered preferential treatment?

Perhaps it is true that people can unleash their potential when their lives are in danger. This woman in red found that she seemed to have regained her connection with the lotus altar. This connection was not clear; she could only feel a faint connection. Compared with the connection in the past, it was so weak that it was almost imperceptible.

But it was already a lifesaver.

It was as if a drowning person had suddenly grabbed onto a lifeline.

Without hesitation, he focused all his strength on this newly formed connection.

From the collapsed ruins behind her, an object slowly flew out, resembling a drum. The yellow drum was painted with bright red patterns, as if lotus flowers were blooming on it. Even as it flew in mid-air, strange sounds could be heard emanating from it.

It sounded like a girl singing a lullaby in a hoarse voice, quiet and lingering. The lyrics were unclear, but one could feel one's heart beating slowly along with the drumbeats.

Seeing the drum fly over, the woman in red finally felt relieved.

Thankfully, the lotus-skin drum is still usable.

This is the instrument they use to communicate with the Lotus Mother. As long as this drum works, there will be no obstacle to communicating with the Lotus Mother.

Bai Qian, who was still thinking about how to build the Willow Shade Mansion, also noticed the red drum flying over, but she didn't care much about it.

Let's assume it was a deliberate flaw she left, allowing the woman in red to connect with external affairs.

This is a test of the current situation in Liuyin Prefecture.

Indeed, just as Bai Qian thought, the Liuyin Mansion was not stable at the moment, and it would not be easy to build a temple of worship that was completely independent of the outside world out of thin air.

Looking at the drum floating beside the woman in red, the noisy and chaotic sounds around him became more and more obvious, like the crying of a young girl, or perhaps like whispered murmurs.

The drumming grew louder and louder, as if an invisible hand was constantly slapping the drumhead, one beat after another ringing in my ears.

A figure gradually materialized behind the woman in red. It was also dressed in a blood-red robe and had the slender figure of a young girl, but beneath the red robe was a stark white skeleton.

A blood-red lotus flower floats slowly within the skeletal body, while the drum gradually enlarges and is held in its hand.

The girl's crying suddenly stopped, and a cold gaze quietly fell on Bai Qian.

Bai Qian held the [Sugar Candy] and looked up at the skeletal figure in her line of sight. The figure struck the drum twice, and a dull sound followed the skeletal figure's strikes.

An inexplicable fluctuation began to move through the air, and figures in red appeared. After they appeared, they silently watched Bai Qian, and a light and eerie song sang again, accompanied by the sound of drums.

His empty eye sockets stared at Bai Qian, blood flowing down the surface of his bones, staining the red robe that looked like a shroud.

The drumbeats grew louder and louder, as if they were pounding in sync with the heartbeats.

The woman in red felt a little calmer, knowing that she was safe for the time being.

The Lotus Skin Drum is a magical artifact specially crafted by the sect. It is made by peeling off the skin of 101 eligible girls. The drum, imbued with resentment and suffering, is almost equivalent to a living evil spirit, used to connect with the Lotus Mother Goddess and thus bear Her power.

Bai Qian tilted her head and glanced at them.

[Sugar Candy] Hold it out horizontally.
