"I've heard that the lady has the countenance of a flower and the countenance of the moon. She is an outstanding beauty that is not the slightest bit inferior to the pearls of Holy City."
"The most shocking thing is that this woman seems to be the descendant of a true immortal. Even though it is already extremely rare, she is still the descendant of a true immortal!"
"Otherwise, Lord Flowerless wouldn't have taken a fancy to her. Poor girl."
Inside the bar, everyone was discussing, which made Ling Xian frown. Then, he arrived before them.
The Master of Ji Clan was his comrade-in-arms in the same camp, and had personally entrusted him to take care of Ji Huang, how could he possibly stand by and watch?
Therefore, without a second word, Ling Xian walked up to them and asked, "Can you tell me more about this?"
Hearing this, the few of them were stunned for a moment. They had no intention of replying.
"I'm rather curious about this matter. Please enlighten me."
Ling Xian faintly grinned. Waving his hand, a treasure that he didn't think much of appeared. Though there was no light, everyone's eyes brightened.
This treasure was worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. No one would be unwilling to exchange it for a piece of information that everyone knew.
At that moment, the few of them started talking at once.
After some time, Ling Xian understood and his face darkened.
Lord Flowerless was one of the top geniuses of Sacred City and was as famous as the 12th Sword. He cultivated a demonic technique that allowed him to pluck women to strengthen himself.
The higher the woman's cultivation, the better her talent, and the stronger the effect.
Not long ago, Lord Flowerless met Ji Huang. At first sight, he immediately had evil thoughts.
No matter what, Ji Huang was the descendant of a True Immortal, and there was no need to doubt her innate talent. She was also devastatingly beautiful, so naturally, this person's heart was moved.
Therefore, Sir Wuhua attacked Ji Huang. After a great battle, Ji Huang lost but she wasn't captured either.
She was the top prodigy of the Big Dipper after all. Although she was slightly inferior to Lord Flowerless, it was not a problem for her to escape.
However, in addition to his extraordinary strength, Lord Flowerless also had a strong background. He was the successor of Heaven Trampling Mountain, which was as famous as the Sword Sect.
Because of that, Ji Huang was wanted by the Trampling Mountain, and was eventually blocked in the Demonic Mist Forest.
Although he hadn't been caught yet, it was only a matter of time before he was caught.
"Treading Mountain, Lord Flowerless …"
Ling Xian's expression darkened as his killer's intent rose.
He wasn't familiar with Ji Huang, but Ji Clan's Clan Master was on the same side as him, and had gifted him many spiritual items, so he naturally couldn't just stand by and watch.
Ling Xian asked in a low voice, "Where is the Enchanted Mist Forest?"
"Not far, just three thousand li to the east."
A middle-aged man opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Young Master is really generous. You used a magic weapon worth hundreds of thousands of spirit stones in exchange for a piece of information that everyone knows. You are really extravagant."
"Now, this item is yours."
It was merely a few hundred thousand spiritual stones. To him, it was not even a drop in the bucket.
"Thank you very much."
The middle-aged man was grinning from ear to ear. That was hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Even if it was divided equally among the few of them, he would still get quite a lot.
"Another question. The people who are after Ji Huang, how capable are they?" Ling Xian's eyes were full of coldness.
"According to the news a few days ago, there are three of them. One is Lord Flowerless, an early-stage eighth realm cultivator, and the other two are mid-stage eighth realm cultivators."
"As for whether there are others, I'm not sure." The middle-aged man shook his head.
"Two mid-stage, one early-stage …"
Ling Xian's expression turned cold, making the middle-aged man's heart skip a beat, "You are not planning on saving that woman, are you?"
"What, can't I?" Ling Xian glared at him.
"No, no, no. I just want to advise you to act according to your capabilities."
The middle-aged man hesitated. But because of the spiritual stones, he decided to warn Ling Xian, "Lord Flowerless is extremely capable. Though he is only at the early stage of the eighth realm, his capabilities are comparable to those of the advanced stage."
"I also want to advise you to watch your mouth and not speak of this to anyone."
Ling Xian's expression did not change. He really didn't think much of this man's capabilities.
In a flash, he left the bar and headed straight for the Enchanted Mist Forest.
…..
The Enchanted Mist Forest was a famous and dangerous place in the City of Holiness.
The reason why it was named the Enchanted Mist Forest was because this place was shrouded in fog all year round. Not only was it impossible to get rid of the fog, it was also filled with poison.
Normal cultivators who entered this place would turn into a skeleton within a few seconds. Even cultivators of the eighth level, without special techniques, cannot stay in this forest for more than a few minutes.
The reason why Ji Huang was able to survive for three days was because she had a treasure that could counter poison. But right now, she could not hold on much longer.
The poison of the mist was far too dominating. It had already penetrated into her organs. Before long, her soul will be destroyed.
"I cannot believe I will die here."
Ji Huang smiled bitterly. Leaning against the ancient tree, she tried her best to block out the poison.
However, she was still struggling to survive. With her current condition, it would be God's mercy if she could last for an hour.
"Oh well, rather than dying in the hands of that bastard, I would rather die without humiliation."
Ji Huang softly sighed. Not only her body, but her face was also turning black. It was obvious that the poison had entered her lungs.
"Tsk tsk, a great beauty has actually become like this. What a pity."
Mocking laughter arose. Then, a man wearing a green robe walked out of the forest. He was handsome and gentle like the clouds.
However, his eyes were long, narrow, and cold, ruining his elegant demeanor.
It was Sir Flowerless, who was famous in the City of Holiness and hated by all women.
Seeing this person, Ji Huang's expression changed. It wasn't that she was afraid of death, it was that she was afraid of being humiliated.
"What a pity. If you weren't poisoned, you would have lost all color. But look at yourself. Even beggars would not be interested in you."
Sir Flowerless looked disgusted and his words were vicious.
Especially to a woman, it was the most vicious language in the world.
Therefore, Ji Huang was shaking from anger. If it weren't for the fact that she was poisoned and couldn't use her Qi, she would've rushed up and fought him.
"This is what you get for defying me."
Sir Flowerless snickered. "How nice would it be to submit to me. Though the final result is death, the process is wonderful."
"You deserve to die!" Ji Huang clenched her teeth, wanting to skin Sir Flowerless alive.
"Too many people want me dead, especially women. But I am still living well."
Flowerless smiled playfully and said, "I'll give you one last chance. If you serve me well, I'll detoxify you."
"In your dreams!"
Ji Huang was furious. "I can't kill you in this life, but in my next life, I will tear you into pieces!"
"You don't know what's good for you."
Flowerless's expression turned cold as he said, "I won't let you die immediately. Although your face is ruined, your cultivation blood is a great tonic."
Hearing this, Ji Huang's body trembled. She realized what Sir Flowerless was going to do.
But she was powerless to resist.
"Become a stepping stone on my path to becoming the strongest." Black light appeared in Sir Flowerless's eyes and instantly enveloped Ji Huang.
In the next instant, Ji Huang's blood was drawn out. She smiled sadly and felt hopeless.
Sir Flowerless's eyes were filled with passion.
But at that moment, the black light suddenly disappeared and the blood returned to Ji Huang's body.
Then, a cold voice resounded and murderous intent shot into the sky.
"You really deserve to die."
