As more and more cultivators passed by the mound, Yan Ji knew that she couldn't stay here any longer. If she continued to stay here, she would be discovered sooner or later.
After taking out a simple appearance-changing mask and putting it on, Yan Ji carefully took away the Concealment Array Disc. She knew that the grade of her Concealment Mask was too low, and people with higher cultivation would definitely be able to recognise it.
Yan Ji had just taken away the Concealment Array Disc and hadn't even brought out a flight-type weapon when a black light suddenly shot towards her. Yan Ji had always been on the move, so she was extremely vigilant, not to mention that she was currently a wanted fugitive.
The moment the black light shot towards Yan Ji, Yan Ji immediately sensed it and immediately brought out a defensive shield.
"Bang ….." The black light slammed into Yan Ji's defensive shield, and the powerful celestial essence backlash caused Yan Ji, who was already seriously injured, to spit out another mouthful of blood.
Yan Ji's vigilance and quick actions allowed her to temporarily escape the attack. At this moment, she finally saw who the person who attacked her was. It was a male cultivator in the late-stage Undead Realm.
"Hehe, I already guessed that you would be around here. Looks like I, Si Long, have a great opportunity ….." As the male cultivator spoke, he raised his hands, and a large net with a radius of several feet came crashing down.
This large net completely locked the surrounding space. If Yan Ji hadn't suffered any injuries, she might have been able to escape from this weapon's encirclement. It's just that Yan Ji suffered serious injuries, which made it extremely difficult for her to escape from this large net.
Yan Ji knew that if she couldn't escape from this large net, she might as well die. If this person caught her, she definitely wouldn't end up well.
However, Yan Ji quickly fell into despair. She grabbed her weapon, the Thousand Mountains Diagram, but she couldn't bring out the Thousand Mountains Diagram. Her spiritual consciousness and celestial essence had consumed too much, and her injuries were also too severe.
Seeing that the large net was about to cover her completely, Yan Ji raised her hand to pat her glabella.
At this moment, the male cultivator attacking Yan Ji suddenly let out a shrill scream. His body fell from the sky and landed in the middle of the swamp, causing a series of bubbles to appear.
The large net, which had lost control, suddenly lost its imposing aura and also lost the space-locking pressure. Yan Ji easily avoided the falling net. The net instantly shrank and fell in front of Yan Ji.
A female cultivator wearing a grey robe appeared in front of Yan Ji. She raised her hand and grasped it. An ordinary-looking bamboo arrow carrying a ring flew out of the swamp and fell into her palm. She then put it away.
Only at this moment did Yan Ji realise that this grey-robed woman had used an arrow to kill the male cultivator who wanted to capture her. Although she did not know the purpose of this grey-robed woman, she still spoke up, "Many thanks for saving me."
At this moment, a few more flight-type weapons flew over from a distance, and the grey-robed woman suddenly spoke up to Yan Ji, "If you continue to stay in the Thorn Tooth Lake, you will die. Plus, Orchid Counter Star is also locked down. There's no way to get out. "
"You know who I am?" Yan Ji stared at the female cultivator in front of her in confusion. If she knew who she was, then why would she help her? He should be the first to capture her and exchange her for the reward, right? Although Yan Ji did not know how much the reward for capturing her would be, but she was sure that it would not be too low.
How could the wealth of a Celestial River King be simple? Compared to the wealth of a Celestial River King, her life might not even be worth mentioning.
The grey-robed woman nodded, "I know, and I'm the only one here who can save you. There is a place in the Thorn Tooth Lake that even Shangguan Xiang, who has a grudge against you, can't find. "
"How do you know that I have a grudge against Shangguan Xiang?" Yan Ji stared at the grey-robed woman in front of her with even more vigilance. She believed that even if Shangguan Xiang wanted to capture her, he would not say that Shangguan Xiang wanted to capture her.
The grey-robed woman spoke up calmly, "Because I've been cultivating in the Thorn Tooth Lake. I saw you kill Shangguan Man 'er. I'm just giving you a suggestion. If you don't want to come with me, then I'll leave first. "
Yan Ji remained silent for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, I'll go with you."
She knew that even if she didn't go with this grey-robed woman, she could not escape. If the other party wanted to kill her, there was no need to go through so much trouble.
The grey-robed woman seemed to know that Yan Ji would agree. She stepped forward, grabbed Yan Ji's hand, and said, "Don't move. I have a Transfer Talisman that can teleport the two of us away immediately."
Sure enough, after she finished speaking, she took out a jade-like Transfer Talisman. After the Transfer Talisman activated, it immediately turned into a white light that swept the two of them away.
Not long after the two of them left, several more figures appeared in this place. These cultivators did not have high cultivations and did not notice anything that had happened here.
… …
After a brief moment of dizziness, Yan Ji felt something solid under her feet, and she landed on the ground. As soon as her feet touched the ground, Yan Ji began to look around.
This place looked like a basement. No, it should be called a basement. Yan Ji's Spiritual Consciousness could see that these basements were connected by some stone walls. The entire basement was illuminated by some Bright Light Array Formations, giving off a dim light.
Her gaze then fell on the basement she was in. There was only a stone bed, a stone table, two stone stools, and a praying mat. This was the simplest cultivation cave. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"Where is this?" Yan Ji asked subconsciously.
The grey-robed woman took out two cups and filled them with spiritual tea. She handed one to Yan Ji and said, "This is still the middle of Thorn Tooth Lake. No one could have found this place. Your injuries aren't light. Drink a cup of spiritual tea first. "
Yan Ji didn't hesitate. She picked up the cup and drank the spiritual tea in one gulp. She then put down the cup and asked, "You should be in Striking Order Starry Sky. How did you come to Nine Jewels Starry Sky?"
"Do you know who I am?" The grey-robed woman looked at Yan Ji in surprise.
Yan Ji raised her hand and took off her mask before speaking calmly, "I didn't know before. But when you held my hand, I knew."
She not only knew who this woman was, but she also knew that the two of them had a lot of connections. Both of them came from the Le Continent, and both were heaven's proud daughters. Not only that, but they were also known as the Le Continent's Twin Lotus Flowers. But the truth was that the two of them didn't have any friendship at all. Instead, there was a gap between them.
If the two of them had a complete falling out, it was all because of Ning Cheng.
When the grey-robed woman heard Yan Ji's words, she sighed and also took off her mask. This was a pretty face that didn't lose out to Yan Ji. If not for Yan Ji's pale face, these two women would have looked like two lotuses blooming together.
She was Nalan Ruxue, who came from Le Continent with Yan Ji.
"Nalan Ruxue, why did you save me? If I remember correctly, you should hate me. "Yan Ji's expression was calm, as she calmly looked at Nalan Ruxue and spoke.
"Yan Ji, do you think I'm a person who bites the hand that feeds me?" Nalan Ruxue spoke with a depressed tone.
Yan Ji remained silent. She did think that Nalan Ruxue was a person who bites the hand that feeds her. It's just that Nalan Ruxue had saved her just now. She wasn't that kind of person.
"Why are you in Night Essence Celestial River?" After a long silence, Yan Ji didn't directly answer Nalan Ruxue's question. Instead, she changed the topic. Obviously, in her opinion, Nalan Ruxue was a person who bites the hand that feeds her. As for why Nalan Ruxue saved her, she also didn't know.
Nalan Ruxue took in a deep breath and slowly spoke, "Do you know which sect I joined in the Tian Continent?"
Without waiting for Yan Ji to answer, Nalan Ruxue took the initiative to speak, "It's the Battle Devil Hall."
At this point, she spoke with a self-deprecating tone, "Haha, I came from the Le Continent's Thoughtless Academy, but I joined the Tian Continent's devil sect's Battle Devil Hall."
"Do you want to join a devil sect because he's a devil cultivator? To alleviate the guilt in your heart? "Yan Ji suddenly interjected.
Nalan Ruxue seemed to be answering Yan Ji's words, but also seemed to be talking to herself, "I don't know. Devil cultivators are considered sinful in the eyes of everyone in Le Continent, and they need to be uprooted. But he's a devil cultivator, and he's wanted because of me. Maybe I almost killed him ….. "
Yan Ji spoke up with a cold tone, "You didn't just harm him here. Did you know that when you entered the Law's Way, he almost died because of you? That Hang Jiaojiao teamed up with him, and he told Hang Jiaojiao to fuck off. But you stood up for Hang Jiaojiao, almost causing him to be killed by Que Penghai.
At that time, anyone could have stood up for the injustice, but you couldn't. If not for you, would he have been targeted by Hang Jiaojiao? He saved you from the hands of Hang Jiaojiao and Sikong Kai, but you, in order to help your enemy, almost let someone kill him. "
Nalan Ruxue lowered her head, completely silent. What Yan Ji said was right, if Yan Ji had not stood up at that time, Ning Cheng, who had turned into Cheng Xiaoning, would have already been killed by Que Penghai. As for the reason, of course, it was because she had stood up for the injustice.
After coming out of the Law's Way, she had already suspected that Ning Cheng might be her savior, yet she still used Ning Cheng as a shield. In the end, it was because Ning Cheng was just a grassroots, as such she did not care about his life or death.
The Thoughtless Academy was a prestigious and upright academy, and her master had taught her that strength was everything. As long as one had formidable strength, they would not have to worry about the small details. Only by strengthening one's own strength, was the most important thing. What's more, Ning Cheng's kindness to her was only a possibility, not a fact. What was more, it was a fact that Ning Cheng might have had an ulterior motive towards her, which she had discovered.
It was not until later, when she was influenced by Meng Jingxiu and Yue Ying's words, plus after coming to the Tian Continent, she saw that Ning Cheng was not worse than others just because he was a grassroots. On the contrary, there were so many geniuses in the Le Continent, yet none of them had the achievements of Ning Cheng. She began to reflect on her own actions.
Growing up under the influence of her master, she hated the Devil Sects and Devil Cultivators to the extreme. Ning Cheng carried Devil Qi, coupled with the fact that he secretly had an ulterior motive towards her, naturally made him the target of her disgust. Because she finally learned the truth, it led to a huge psychological gap. That kind of guilt made her choose to join the Devil Sects.
However, the Tian Continent and the Le Continent were different, the Tian Continent did not exterminate the Devil Sects. After Nalan Ruxue joined the Devil Sects, her temperament began to become independent, no longer following the crowd. She believed in Yue Ying's words, sometimes even if you saw it with your own eyes, it might not necessarily be the truth.
After so many years of independent tempering, she gradually put down the knot in her heart. Because she was a Devil Cultivator, she decided to head to the Devil Domain Grand Starry Sky. When she passed through the Night Essence Celestial River, she inadvertently came to this place. This place would be of great help to her cultivation, so she decided to stay here.
