"Since you are here, leave your life behind!"
Lu Nanzhi's eyes became fierce, and the air around her instantly dropped to freezing point. She swept her sword across, and the air melted layer by layer.
The roar was surging and rolling forward like waves of pine trees in a valley!
The remaining five people were shocked and hurriedly formed an Earthly Evil Formation with the remaining female corpse as the leader. They absorbed the bloody evil energy around them and gathered it on the female corpse, then waved their sharp claws fiercely at the icy waves.
A sneer appeared on Lu Nanzhi's lips. The ice layer was broken, and a huge force like a mountain torrent suddenly exploded. The female corpse cultivator was caught off guard and was swallowed by the torrent.
Lu Nanzhi simply waved his hand, and the torrent melted the ice again, freezing the female corpse inside, and shattered it with a loud bang.
Jiang Yuebai watched Lu Nanzhi from afar as she handled the situation with ease. She could switch between ice and water as easily as with her own arms. Her sword moves were as soft as water and as hard as ice, just like the surging undercurrent beneath a glacier. In the midst of extreme stillness there was extreme movement, and her sword moves were ever-changing, making it hard to guard against.
Anan has grown so much over the years, which makes Jiang Yuebai eager to try his hand with her.
In the ice crystal blood mist, Lu Nanzhi swung the sword again, and the ice wave split into four and rolled towards the remaining four ghost cultivators at the same time.
Learning from the previous experience of the female corpse cultivator, the four ghost cultivators quickly retreated and did not dare to confront head-on. They moved in unison and activated the Earthly Evil Formation. Streams of bloody evil energy gathered in the formation and instantly transformed into countless blood-red evil ghosts. They crushed the ice waves with their own bodies and rushed towards Lu Nanzhi one after another.
The ice waves were exhausted, but the bloody evil spirits were still coming in an endless stream, so Jiang Yuebai rushed forward to help.
When the bloody evil spirits gathered together from all directions, Lu Nanzhi stood up with his sword, his figure was light and graceful, snowflakes were flying around him, and the sound of ice crystals colliding was made.
Before Jiang Yuebai arrived, he saw hundreds of dark blue ice crystal skylarks appearing around Lu Nanzhi. The birds' eyes were black and condensed with Lu Nanzhi's own evil spirit, and they chirped and bumped into the bloody evil spirits.
When the two met, there was a thunderous explosion. The powerful airflow carried the icy demonic power and crushed the evil ghost and the blood evil formation inch by inch. The four ghost cultivators were unable to resist and were blown away.
Lu Nanzhi raised his eyes and was about to rush out when he suddenly felt something strange behind him.
"Skylark is the sign. You must have missed me a lot, right?"
Lu Nanzhi's whole body trembled, his eyes suddenly opened wide, then turned hot and wet and red, and the corners of his cold and hard lips gradually softened.
"Bah! How shameless!"
Jiang Yuebai's eyes were full of smiles, revealing his figure and true appearance.
"Take a break, and leave the rest to me!"
Jiang Yuebai and Xiaolu rushed out from mid-air, and white vines flew, carrying the evil fire that specifically burns souls, and instantly entangled the bodies of the four ghost cultivators.
Sharp screams echoed throughout the dry forest, and the four ghost cultivators’ bodies became increasingly faint as they were burned.
Jiang Yuebai increased the output of the Earth Evil Fire, released the Blood Evil Long Tongue Ghost that had just advanced to the general level, and four other ordinary Yin ghosts, captured three of the ghost cultivators, and rushed towards Fu Qing alone.
Fu Qing was very slippery, and the black water flowing out of his body temporarily suppressed the Earth Evil Fire and corroded the white vine bit by bit.
Jiang Yuebai was in a rage, and the other three ghost cultivators were all suppressed by the Earthly Evil Fire, so Fu Qing turned around and fled.
"Little Green, catch him. I want to see how he knew Anan's whereabouts!"
Xiaolu shot out with a beam of green light and headed straight for Fuqing.
At this time, a female ghost cultivator in the late Jindan stage rushed out from the withered forest, raised her hand to form a claw, and pierced Fu Qing's head with one claw, shattering his soul.
Xiaolu was furious, and the entire lantern turned fiery red. The Earthly Evil Fire rushed towards the female ghost cultivator with great momentum.
“Wait!”
Lu Nanzhi swung his sword, and instantly a three-foot ice wall formed in front of Xiaolu.
Xiaolu continued to charge forward and crashed through the ice wall. The evil fire burned in front of the female ghost cultivator, and she opened her eyes in horror and stepped back.
"Little Green!"
As soon as Jiang Yuebai spoke, the fire in Xiaolu's body was extinguished as if by a basin of water. Xiaolu stopped just in front of the female ghost cultivator. The red light from the lantern illuminated the charming face of the female ghost cultivator.
Lu Nanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "She is Miaoyin Zhenren, a senior of Tianyan Sect."
"Miaoyin?!"
Jiang Yuebai broke into tears, opened his eyes wide in disbelief, and stared at Miaoyin's pale face.
Well, she is indeed a stunning beauty that makes me feel pity for her. No wonder True Lord Canghuo bullied Lord Guanghan Jian for so many years because of her.
"The Midnight Blood Evil Aura will permeate the entire Blood Pond Prison. We should not stay here for long. Come with me first. Senior Miaoyin, you can come too."
Lu Nanzhi grabbed Jiang Yuebai's arm, and Jiang Yuebai ordered Xiaolu to imprison the three ghost cultivators who were burned to the point of having only their breath left in its lantern. Then, he was dragged by Lu Nanzhi into the deeper part of the ghost stele forest.
Zhenren Miaoyin has also become a ghost cultivator. Jiang Yuebai thought of what Shen Huaixi said to her and became alert.
Lu Nanzhi pulled Jiang Yuebai and went into a tomb with a burial chamber. She froze the coffin inside into icicles and used them to block the door. The eternal lamp in the tomb chamber emitted a green light, and it was filled with an eerie atmosphere.
"Why are you here? Did something happen?" Lu Nanzhi asked Jiang Yuebai anxiously, and pulled Jiang Yuebai's hair again, "What's wrong with your hair?"
Jiang Yuebai looked at Miaoyin who was following behind him. Miaoyin immediately smiled gently, "It seems that you are the Xiaobai that Yuanxin often mentioned. You two can reminisce about the past while I go out to keep watch."
After saying that, Miaoyin looked at Jiang Yuebai deeply. Jiang Yuebai didn't know if it was an illusion, but she always felt that Miaoyin seemed to know her. It was not the kind of acquaintance that she had heard from others. Jiang Yuebai couldn't explain it, it was just intuition.
Miaoyin came out through the wall. Jiang Yuebai secretly glanced at Xiaolu, but Xiaolu disappeared.
"Have you changed your name to Yuanxin? It doesn't sound good. Nanzhi sounds better."
Lu Nanzhi glanced in the direction where Xiaolu disappeared and said, "You don't have to be on guard against Senior Miaoyin. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have survived all these years. What happened? Tell me quickly."
The two of them sat on the stone platform where the coffin was originally placed. Jiang Yuebai looked at Lu Nanzhi carefully. Her body was covered with faint marks from serious injuries.
In the past, Lu Nanzhi was like a well-off lady from a wealthy family, but now she is like a village girl who worked in the fields all day in the hot summer and fell on the way home.
"You've suffered a lot these years, right? You've become tough and thick-skinned."
Jiang Yuebai pinched Lu Nanzhi's hand and found that she had a good level of physical training. Her body was very cold, and she looked like a dummy carved out of ten thousand years of black ice. She didn't have any warmth of a living person at all.
However, Lu Nanzhi must be very hardworking. His cultivation level was lower than hers before, but now he is in the middle stage of the Golden Core, the same as her.
After taking a breath, Jiang Yuebai told Lu Nanzhi about Xie Jingshan.
After hearing this, Lu Nanzhi immediately clenched the hilt of his sword and stood up, "Are you sure he is in Blood Sea City?"
Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "I'm not sure, but the orchids at the border of the Blood Pond Prison do have the characteristics of Arisaema."
Lu Nanzhi frowned and thought, "About five years ago, a group of people came to Xuehai City, and then those blood orchids grew around the Blood Pool Prison. The defenses around Xuehai City also became strict. That's why I hid here on purpose, hoping to use the defenses of Xuehai City to contain the ghost cultivators who were chasing me."
"The timings are almost right. Anan, do you have a way to get into Blood Sea City?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
Lu Nanzhi thought for a moment and said, "Senior Miaoyin should have a solution."
