It was a teenager in a gray shirt who looked so ordinary that he was not noticeable if he stood amongst a crowd.
Besides that, there was a scar on his face, adding a tinge of hideousness to his ordinary looks.
Chou Qi narrowed his eyes.
That was the first human he had seen that day who did not have a black cloth on his face. It made him feel slightly odd.
However, that was the only thing he felt.


He was not foolish enough to ask teenager who he was because to him, when the teenager walked out, he was destined to be killed.
The teenager also did not speak and walked towards Chou Qi at a moderate speed.
Swoosh! The Blade of Death in Chou Qi’s hands flew and turned into gray clouds of smoke, traveling at a high speed such that they could not be seen by naked eyes.
Crack!
The gigantic tree that the teenager was hiding behind earlier on broke into half. The cut was clean and neat and a cloud of gray airwave surrounded it. The leaves of the gigantic tree also withered.
It was an extremely powerful strike.
However, Chou Qi’s expression changed.
That was because when the giant tree broke into half, it meant that his Blade of Death had been successfully dodged.
The Blade of Death that had once killed countless Godly State experts was dodged successfully by two humans consecutively. That was something that never happened before.
Moreover, the teenager in front of him looked like he was only 20 years old.


Chou Qi took a step back and cold sweat accumulated on his forehead because he felt as though he was facing the God of Death.
Of course, the pair of eyes which was staring into him was glowing with red light and had an extremely complicated blood-red figure in them.
Eight blood-red characters glowed in the figure. They each represented a different formation and an ancient mark.
The Blood Offering Illustration!

You… You are Nangong Hao?! No way, Nangong Hao is already dead, how… how can he be still alive?!
Chou Qi was drenched in cold sweat after he saw the Blood Offering Illustration in the teenager’s eyes.
Although he had lived in another dimension, he got familiar with the important events that happened in this world after he descended to this world.
Blood Offering Illustration, Nangong Hao, the descendant of Emperor Yan, how could he not know about these?

My name is Nangong Mu!
As the teenager spoke, a gigantic blood-red figure appeared on the top of his head. Meanwhile, two chains which were stained with blood shot out and chained Chou Qi up instantly.

Nangong Mu?! The useless brother of Nangong Hao…

…


On the cliff of the Sword Peak of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, Ping Yang carried Fang Zhengzhi and crawled down the cliff. After trying with all types of medicinal pills, she was determined to find someone who could save Fang Zhengzhi even if she revealed her identity.

Shameless brat, don’t die…


You are still young! You are only 18, you have a bright future…


Oh right, you still have me and Sister Yan. You have to stay strong, you are so powerful, nothing must happen to you, nothing!


…

Ping Yang kept yelling as she crawled down the cliff, hoping that Fang Zhengzhi could wake up after hearing her voice.
However, unfortunately, no matter how she yelled, Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes were still tightly shut with his head in her chest and had no signs of waking up.
The sky was grayish white.
The sun had slowly risen, implying that the night had passed. Time had passed from dawn and it was less than two hours to noon.
What should she do?


What exactly should she do?
Ping Yang kept asking herself. She suddenly realized how helpless and fearful she was when Fang Zhengzhi was
not around
.
However, Ping Yang did not know that Fang Zhengzhi was in another world, staring blankly at a lady who was dressed in a white dress standing in front of him.
It had been a while since he met the lady in the white dress in his dreams. Fang Zhengzhi was not sure if it was a good thing to see her again, but he knew that the lady was standing less than five feet away from him and he could see her features very clearly.
Seeing the lady in the white dress up close for the first time stunned Fang Zhengzhi because her appearance was way too surprising.
She looked extremely similar to Chi Guyan and she gave off a similar aura to that of a lotus that had emerged from the soil.
Yun Qingwu?
Chi Guyan?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know how to describe his thoughts.
However, that was not the main thing. The main thing was that there was an
eye
like a gemstone that flicked on the forehead of the lady in the white dress.


Demon?!
The lady in the white dress was a demon?!
That was the immediate thought that struck Fang Zhengzhi. However, he quickly negated this possibility because the pair of eyes was different from the Demon eyes.
It was neither an ordinary demon eye nor a scar like that on Chou Qi and the Space-splitting Demon God. It gave off a unique vibe that caused one’s heart to flutter.

Who exactly are you?
This was the umpteenth time Fang Zhengzhi had asked this question.

You should be more concerned with your life or death now.
The lady in the white dress took a look at Fang Zhengzhi and her cold tone made her seem like she did not belong to this world.

Life or death?


That’s right, follow me.
The lady in the white dress walked towards the front, stepping on the green grass with her fair-skinned bare feet.
The world in front of him was a patch of grass but with purple flowers blooming at the sides.
The flower petals were glistening like jade and the diamond-like pistils made each of the purple flowers look extremely vibrant.
When these purple flowers covered the entire world, the crystal-like purple made one immerse deeply in the scenery.

What flower is this?
Fang Zhengzhi had seen many exotic flowers before, especially in the Ling Yun Tower. However, he had never seen the purple flower before. In fact, the fragrance in the air made him feel floaty.

Have you heard of the Boundary Flower?


Boundary Flower?


Yes, the flower that bloomed at the boundary between the world of life and death.
The lady in the white dress nodded.

So this is the boundary between the world of life and death?
Fang Zhengzhi cautiously stretched his hand towards the flower beside him.
The lady in the white dress did not stop him. She looked extremely calm as Fang Zhengzhi touched the petal of the Boundary Flower.
Crack!
The Boundary Flower in front of Fang Zhengzhi cracked open and the crack quickly spread and in a second, the Boundary Flower had cracked completely, turned into purple dust and landed on the ground.
With a gentle breeze, the dust was blown away.

Let’s go.
The lady in the white dress did not look at the Boundary Flower at all. She turned and walked towards a distant place.

Where are we going again?
Fang Zhengzhi added the word
again
because he had already walked quite a bit with the lady.

To a place that you want to go to.


A place that I want to go to?
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to complain, ‘How do you know where I want to go?’ However, after some consideration, he did not say it out.

Of course I know where you want to go.
Just when Fang Zhengzhi was about to catch up with her, the voice of the lady in the white dress entered his ears again.

…
Fang Zhengzhi was stunned for a moment and looked at the lady in the white dress as if she was a monster.

I am a monster.


Ah?


But I am not the kind of monster that you know.


So what kind of monster are you? The Monster… in the legends?
Fang Zhengzhi knew that she could read his mind so he did not bother saying it out loud.

Your personality is really quite similar to him.


Him? Who is he?


Someone you do not know yet.
After finishing her sentence, the lady in the white dress had already taken fifteen steps and had no intention of slowing down.

Someone I do not know yet? Does that mean I will know him in the future?
Fang Zhengzhi was extremely confused but caught up with the lady.

Perhaps.
The lady continued walking without turning back.

Are you a monster who is imprisoned?
After a few steps, Fang Zhengzhi caught up with the lady and asked again.

…
The lady in the white dress did not reply him.

If that’s the case, I can consider releasing you as after all, you had helped me quite a lot. However, you need to tell me where are you imprisoned at?


…
The lady in the white dress remained silent.

You don’t know? Hold on, are you waiting for the moment to exchange your body with mine? You are a woman and I am a man, this is not appropriate, you should find a woman. Oh yeah, Dao Xin from the Yin Yang Hall is a good choice. She gives off a similar vibe as you and is very pretty as well. How about I kill her and you take over her body?
said Fang Zhengzhi after thinking for a while.

I do not need to take over her body.
The lady in the white dress finally spoke.

You don’t need to?
Fang Zhengzhi did not continue probing because his shock overpowered his curiosity.
‘Take over’!
This phrase did not belong to this world!
To put it frankly, according to Fang Zhengzhi’s understanding, there was no such concept as ‘taking over’, yet the lady in the white dress replied very naturally.
Strange, it was way too strange!
Was he overthinking? Was there the concept of ‘taking over’ in the ancient times? Or rather, did the lady standing in front of him not belong to this world too?
Fang Zhengzhi was unsure because he did not have any evidence to prove that. It would be too rash to assume things based on the historical books in the repository of the Heaven Dao Pavilion.
For example, the incident that took place on the Heaven Zen Mountain was not recorded in the books.
There were way too many unexplained mysteries in the world. For example, how did
Law of Dao
appear in this world? Why did this world have the same legends as the past world? Moreover, these legends actually existed.
15 minutes passed…
30 minutes passed…
…
Fang Zhengzhi did not know how long he followed the lady in the white dress for, but he knew that all the blooming purple Boundary Flower had disappeared.
A dry and cracked black land was in front of him. There were black mountains, black rocks, black soil and black mud.
Everything seemed to be black.
Was this the legendary
place of death
? Or was it the place called
hell
? If so, how many stories were there?
The legendary eighteen stories?
Fang Zhengzhi did not know and the lady in the white dress also did not bother explaining. She only continued to walk without stopping.
Soon, the black land had disappeared and the scene changed to one with magma. They seemed to have gone underground unknowingly as the heat radiated in the air and visible flames continuously rose in the sky, making cracking sounds.
Then, the lady in the white dress stopped on a long and narrow path in the middle of the magma and looked at the bright red waves in front of her silently.

Are we not continuing?
asked Fang Zhengzhi.

Hmm, we have already reached the first location.
The lady in the white dress nodded and turned gradually as she pointed at the magma in front of them.

The first location? Then what?
Fang Zhengzhi asked again.

Jump down.


Jump down?! Are you fcking kidding me?!


If you don’t want to die.
The lady in the white dress was not agitated because of Fang Zhengzhi’s tone. Instead, she replied calmly.

I don’t want to die but I will definitely die after jumping down. Moreover, why am I going to die? I am well alive, how would I possibly die?
Fang Zhengzhi could no longer hold in his curiosity.
He saw the lady in the white dress immediately after he reached this world. Then, she said that he would die. After meeting in a long while, why couldn’t she say something more auspicious?

Have you forgotten about the ‘Blade of Death’ that you blocked for Ping Yang?
reminded the lady in the white dress.

Blade of Death?
Fang Zhengzhi was astonished and he remembered the scene where he battled with Chou Qi on the cliff of the Sword Peak.
However, how did the lady in the white dress know about that event which took place in real life? Furthermore, how did she know that it was called the Blade of Death?
