"Princess!"
In a tall building, a petite figure stood at the edge of the window, looking at the city below. No one knew what she was thinking. Suddenly, a voice sounded behind her.
"You're back?"
A crisp voice sounded in the air. At the same time, the figure turned around and looked at the person who came with her beautiful eyes.
This girl seemed to be around 13 years old. She was wearing an exquisite floral dress. Her long hair fluttered in the wind. Coupled with her beautiful face, she exuded a faint aura that made people fall in love with her.
"I've successfully stolen the item that the other party left behind. Now, it's condensed in this small bottle. It's enough to track the other party's aura."
A woman covered in black clothes stood behind her. Only a pair of eyes that resembled the girl's could be seen. She held a small jade porcelain bottle firmly in front of her.
"Very good. Then you'll hold it. Take it out when you need it." The girl's expression did not change as she spoke slowly.
"Yes, Your Highness. I'll take my leave first. I'll wait for your final decision." The woman said to the girl.
As soon as she finished speaking, the woman's body disappeared from the air.
The girl's figure turned to the window again. Looking at the distant sky, there was a trace of worry between her brows.
Creak.
As the door behind her was pushed open, a person dressed as a maid walked in gently and said to the girl in front of her.
"Your Highness, General Lei has returned."
"I know. I'll go down now." The girl nodded slightly, indicating that she understood.
The maid did not say anything else. She gently closed the door and left.
After a long time, the girl sighed. It seemed that she had not made a decision. She then came out of the room and walked down.
Soon, she walked into a spacious hall.
"Your Highness."
After seeing her, the people around her all greeted her.
"Everyone, if there's anything, please come back tomorrow." A person dressed as a general saw this and instructed the people below.
The people below naturally understood what was going on. They all left one after another.
"Xiang Xiang, are you here to ask about your father this time?" After the people left, the general above asked.
"Yes, General Lei. Please tell me. Father's health has always been very good. Why did he fall ill this time? Especially when the outside world is in chaos. Could it be that someone deliberately wants to lead us into this mess?" Xiang Xiang asked directly.
"You know that there are some things that can't be said. Your father's illness isn't serious. He just wants to avoid the outside world. You also know that your father and uncle are doing something. If they succeed, then the four seas will rightfully belong to us, not just in name." General Lei thought for a moment before slowly speaking.
"But my father's condition is so serious this time. What can't I say? I'm his daughter too." Xiang Xiang bit her lower lip, looking a little aggrieved, but still said.
"I'm no longer a child. I know everything. I've been training hard all these years. My cultivation base is no longer what it used to be. But, why are you still hiding this from me?" Xiang Xiang suddenly lost control of her emotions and shouted at General Lei. Then, she left angrily.
General Lei stretched out his hand, wanting to stop her, but in the end, he put it down and sighed heavily.
"Sigh, I hope she doesn't do anything stupid. It's better to keep an eye on her." General Lei sighed and muttered to himself.
Half a month later, in Xiang Xiang's boudoir.
At this time, she was already under house arrest outside. Basically, she couldn't even leave this door. There were people guarding her at all times. Even if her cultivation had reached the early Jin Xian stage, she was still very weak to them.
"Your Highness, have you thought it through this time? Your father is only a body outside. In fact, many years ago, he was already in a very dangerous place. I can guarantee that as long as you go over, you will be able to greatly alleviate your father's difficulties. Moreover, you will be able to return very quickly."
A familiar figure once again appeared from behind the countryside, but no one on the outside noticed her. Even the well-hidden alarm array could not sense her presence.
"I've decided to let you out. But before that, I want to find my brother and ask him to help me. I don't trust you." Xiang xiang xiang xiang turned her head and stared at the other party carefully.
"It's okay. I am you, and you are me. Since I failed to snatch the body, let me return to the original place. Let me return to my place." The woman smiled and took off the veil on her face, revealing a face that was identical to Xiang xiang xiang's.
It was Blackgod, who had wanted to snatch Xiang xiang xiang's body in the beginning. In the end, although she was completely refined by General Lei, she had once entered Xiang xiang xiang's body. In addition to the thing that Gu Zheng had left for Xiang xiang xiang, Xiang xiang had deliberately preserved it. In the end, she came back from the dead with the help of that thing.
However, the only difference was that she couldn't snatch Xiang xiang xiang's body because she was born by relying on her. She was like a host, and if Xiang xiang died, she would die with her.
"You've told me many times about the original place. Where is that place?" Xiang xiang looked at the other party and asked again. Although she knew everything about the other party, she couldn't control or kill the other party. The other party was hidden in her body, and even General Lei couldn't sense it. However, at least she knew that the other party couldn't hurt her now.
"I can't tell you. Think about it. Why did your father put you here? Why did you give birth to me? Even if you saved your father, it was to get rid of me. Otherwise, you would have been like this forever." The woman smiled, as if she was sure that Xiang xiang xiang couldn't refuse.
Xiang xiang knew that the other party wasn't lying, so she made up her mind and wanted to leave this place even more.
"Of course, if you don't go, I can guarantee that your father will be trapped there forever. Some of your uncles might stay there forever. You don't have to do much. You just have to go and help your father open a mechanism. Under my protection, you won't be in too much danger." The woman said again.
"Alright, then in three days, you will take me away from here." Xiang Xiang's face revealed a determined expression as she said to her.
"No problem. This time is enough to leave behind an illusion. When the other party finds out, they won't be able to find us!"
The woman lowered her head, and a strange smile appeared on her face. When she looked up again, it disappeared.
Xiang xiang, who was worried about her father, couldn't tell the difference under the other party's deliberate actions.
.....
Under the silver sky, many figures were sitting together on the flat and smooth ground. To them, this was a world without any hope of survival.
Even if they survived, they were like walking corpses.
Chaos was the foundation of this place. There were conflicts happening every moment. Every once in a while, some Demon Souls would disappear completely.
However, no one cared about whether they lived or died, because there was an endless stream of wandering souls coming here. There were also Demon Souls condensed here. To them, their numbers didn't decrease at all. Instead, there were more and more of them.
"Come, come. Hurry up and come here. I've tolerated you for a long time. "
Noises could be heard from afar once again. Other than the people who were close by, they only glanced in that direction and then no longer paid attention to it. Those who were close by even moved their bodies away to avoid being implicated. That would be extremely unlucky.
The people here varied in strength. In this vast open space, there were at least thousands of them. Moreover, there were many Demon Souls that were transported here every once in a while.
Most of the people who came in fell into despair when they realized their situation. Those who didn't know also fell into despair when they found out about this place.
Most of the Demonic Souls here were lost in despair. They would also raise their heads and look up, as if they were hesitating about something.
Some people who were unwilling to give up rushed to a tall memorial archway. The dark red memorial archway looked incomparably strange. Even if you looked at it for a long time, you would feel a chill from the bottom of your heart. It was as if there was an irresistible power looking at you.
Behind the decorated archway, there was still a long flight of stairs in the air. Looking up, there was still a huge platform. There was nothing below, as if it was floating in the air. Only the flight of stairs was connected to it. There was still a dark red decorated archway above, which was exactly the same as the one below.
Behind the memorial archway was another staircase. However, it was already hidden in the air. The people below were unable to see what was behind it.
However, they could see that there were many people on the platform. As for how many there were, they didn't know.
Year after year, day after day, these people would either wait until their bodies completely collapsed, or take a gamble and charge up.
BANG!
On a very ordinary day, a figure fell from the edge and landed heavily on the ground.
Originally, everyone thought that it was just an ordinary person who was thrown in. However, at a glance, they found that something was wrong.
Not to mention that the person was lying unconscious on the ground with bloodstains all over his body. The other party's solid body and aura seemed to be incompatible with them.
Immediately, it attracted the attention of some nearby demons. They curiously pointed at the figure and began to discuss.
"It's a human!"
After a while, the other party guessed the identity of the underground figure. In fact, there was no need to guess, because many of them were also humans when they were alive.
Everyone was even more surprised because they had never seen a human being able to enter this place. This was because a small portion of them had only come here after the death of the Great Desolate Era. There were even some souls that had been wandering in the Underworld that had also come here. As for the specifics, no one knew.
However, they just surrounded and watched from the side. They didn't go forward to check.
"What's going on?"
The abnormality here also attracted the attention of the people outside. One of the powerful demon souls walked over. However, he was different from the other demon souls. There was a dark blue gem on his waist. It was very bright.
"Lord Zhou, I'm afraid that an unlucky person also came in. Maybe there's something special about it that attracted them to watch." Beside him, there was a demon soul with a leopard head and a human body. At this time, he heard the words and said to him.
Because there were not only humans below, as long as there was life in the Untainted Land, it was possible to appear here. Therefore, very strange creatures that had never been seen before had appeared here. Every time, it would arouse the curiosity of everyone.
"Oh? Then let's take a look. To be honest, I haven't seen many. "Lord Zhou smiled and walked over.
"Hurry up and get out of the way. Don't you see people coming from above?" Hearing this, the leopard head immediately opened the way and shouted at the person in front of him.
Not only him, but there were also a few people beside Lord Zhou. They were all working very hard to walk forward and help him open the way.
It was no wonder that they were working so hard. One had to know that everyone above knew that it wasn't like below, where one had to bring a teammate. However, the teammate above had to be on the lower level to be a substitute.
This Lord Zhou had passed through the first floor's archway not long ago and came to the second floor. This time, he came down to find a suitable substitute.
Leopard head and the others were candidates. They hadn't completely chosen who to be, so everyone was working hard. They wanted to be chosen by the other party. Even if it was more dangerous above, they had already completely lost the opportunity to challenge. This was the only path they could take.
As they squeezed in, they also found the unconscious human on the ground. At this time, the human's waist was flowing with blood. There was a faint smell of blood in the air.
"Human?"
Lord Zhou was very surprised. He really didn't expect to see a human here.
"Lord Zhou, so what if the other party is a human? Could it be that they can kill us? I'll go see if the other party is dead or not. "Leopard head said indifferently.
It was true that on this platform, no matter what your cultivation base was, you could only exert the cultivation base of an early-stage Celestial Immortal. But on the upper level, you could exert the cultivation base of an early-stage Golden Immortal. In other words, Lord Zhou could sweep away everyone on the lower level.
Lord Zhou didn't say anything. However, silence was a tacit agreement. Leopard head had made up his mind. His side couldn't hold on for much longer. The three chances were already used up. If there were no more chances, then they could only wait for death.
Thinking of this, Leopard head directly walked up. Under everyone's gaze, he approached the human figure. Of course, he didn't want to heal the other party. Instead, he stretched out his leg and stepped on the other party's body. Then, he shook the other party with all his strength.
"Clang! Clang!"
Following his movements, the body of the human figure on the ground also shook. From the side of his waist, a small bottle fell from his body and rolled to the side.
Everyone's gaze subconsciously looked over there. Suddenly, most of their eyes lit up as they looked at the ground.
However, no one rushed to snatch it. Even if they were regretful in their hearts, they would have directly gone up. However, now that Lord Zhou was here, even if they snatched it, what was the use? Unless the other party wanted it, if they dared to refuse, only death would await them.
"Dragon soul!"
Lord Zhou was also stunned. Then, he looked over with the same fervent gaze and muttered to himself.
"Haha, I didn't expect good luck to fall from the sky. When luck comes, nothing can stop it." Lord Zhou immediately laughed. His expression was filled with surprise.
Because in this place, if there was a powerful soul, it could completely replace oneself at a critical moment. If one encountered a dangerous situation, one could throw out the refined soul and the ghost that the other party was chasing would definitely escape with it. It could be said to be an absolute life-saving item.
However, how could the majority of people who came here have such an item? Especially in this place, there was no such thing as a soul. They were all inadvertently brought along with them from the outside world. It could be said that they were only passed down.
Although they were also a type of monster soul, their three spiritual and seven physical souls did not exist at all. Refining the same kind of soul did not have any effect at all. The only effect was that it could slightly improve one's cultivation, which was equivalent to purifying it. However, the effect was negligible. When they were here, everything in their body would be transformed into a special kind of pure energy.
"Good luck, Lord. I will help Lord pick it up." Seeing this, Leopard Head did not say anything and directly stepped over the body on the ground. He walked over to the bottle and smoothly picked it up.
However, just as he picked it up, he suddenly heard a group of people behind him cry out in alarm. Then, he suspiciously turned around and found that the unconscious human on the ground had already woken up. At this moment, he was standing in the same place with a cold expression. Ignoring the fact that his body was still dripping with blood, he was staring straight at him.
"Give it to me!"
Gu Zheng looked at the monster soul in front of him and said with a cold expression. Even though his body was feeling waves of exhaustion that made him want to faint, he still looked at the person in front of him.
From the moment he was attacked until now, he did not expect to wake up in this damned place. Although he did not know where he was, he was definitely in Wen Tianhou's world.
However, as soon as he woke up, he found that he was being watched like a monkey. Moreover, most of the people around him looked like humans. It felt somewhat similar to the monster soul on Wen Tianhou's side, but it also felt a little different.
However, in the blink of an eye, he found that the bottle that contained Sheng Shanlong had fallen from his injured waist. Of course, he could not let them take it away.
"Impossible. I now declare that I have already returned to Lord Zhou. If you know what's good for you, you can still live for two more days. Otherwise, today will be the day you die." Leopard Head was not afraid of the human in front of him at all. Instead, he said proudly. At the same time, he glanced at Lord Zhou. Seeing that the other party was looking at him with a satisfied expression, he became even more excited.
"I will say it one last time. Give me my things. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite." Gu Zheng looked at Leopard Head and said calmly, as if he did not care about the surroundings.
"You still want to fight? Do you believe that …" Spearhead looked at the other party's emotionless eyes and felt a chill in his heart. He subconsciously wanted to hand over the bottle in his hand. However, he quickly reacted and shouted at Gu Zheng.
However, before he could finish his words, he saw that Gu Zheng had already raised his arm and slapped his face.
"Bang!"
Leopard Head did not expect that the other party's temper would be so fiery. In front of so many people, he actually dared to attack him. He simply did not expect that the other party would not hesitate to slap him on the face. His whole body flew to the side.
However, even so, he did not let go of the bottle in his hand. His body just happened to land in front of Lord Zhou.
Gu Zheng slightly frowned. He looked at his palm and then quickly checked his body. He found that his cultivation was actually suppressed to the early stage of Sky Immortal.
It was no wonder that he felt that something was wrong. Originally, he wanted to send the other party flying and leave the bottle that contained the Sheng Shanlong in his hand. In the end, he found that something was wrong with the other party.
