Venerated Venomous Consort

Since the rest of them could not be contacted, Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi could only concern themselves with breaking out of this place first. Hopefully, the three of them were already outside.

Gu Xijiu followed Di Fuyi into the air as he used his spiritual power to help them fly. No matter what he encountered along the way, he held Gu Xijiu’s hand tightly with no intention of letting go.

This feeling gave Gu Xijiu some peace of mind. She somehow remembered her last moment in the Upper Bound, where a disaster had struck her, and all the immortals that were with her had fled away. She was alone at the time and finally fell into a whirlpool. She then found herself in the Shura World with no memories of herself.

This landslide somehow reminded her of that calamity. The main difference was that she had Di Fuyi by her side this time. They would face the challenge together. This feeling was so good!

She looked at the flaming rocks that fell from the sky like rain. Was this the meteorite rain that she had heard of?! It looked so beautiful, but it was also deadly! There seemed to be a woman’s laughter in the air again; she sounded like a person who had lost her mind.

Gu Xijiu frowned as the loud screams made her eardrums uncomfortable. “Is Yun Qingluo still alive? Has she turned into a devil?”

“No, she is dead. She can’t be alive. However, she had probably attached her soul to this swamp. Therefore, when she died, the swamp also turned into a state of chaos. This voice is probably her leftover resentment on this land. Don’t be afraid.”

“Don’t worry, Di Fuyi. Even if she is alive, I am not afraid of her.” Gu Xijiu laughed. “If it were not because of you, I would not have paid any attention to her.”

Di Fuyi held her little hand as he responded, “Baby, I know that you are a strong girl; there is nothing that can knock you down.” At such a critical moment, this guy still had the mood to sweet talk.

Gu Xijiu pulled him together with her and teleported away. “Let’s continue this conversation once we escape. For now, please obediently follow me.”

Gu Xijiu’s teleportation technique was truly remarkable. Each time she used it, she could travel about 30 miles. Furthermore, her sense of direction was top notch. Therefore, although she was not sure where she as at the moment, she could tell that the width of the swamp was probably about 400 miles. Hence, if she continued traveling in one direction, she could break out from here in about 15 teleportations.

Unfortunately, even after she had teleported more than 20 times, she found herself still stuck in the crux of the swamp. The meteorite rain still poured down heavily, and the devil-like whistling sound continued to spook the place.

Had they hit a ghost wall? Or was this something more complicated? With Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi’s abilities, a ghost wall could not actually trap them. They could easily break through any barrier of that sort in a matter of minutes. Yet, this time, they were stuck.

Because of the earthquake and the constant bombardment of the flaming meteorites, there were very few places where they could actually settle down to think at this swamp. Not to mention that there was rolling magma everywhere and occasional herds of beasts rampaging the land together.

It was the end of the world for most of them. The air was heating up so badly that Gu Xijiu began to hold her breath. Whenever she took a breath, she felt like she was inhaling a mouthful of dust. It burnt her throat badly as well.

Di Fuyi’s eyes darkened at their current predicament. It appears that he had underestimated Yun Qingluo’s insanity. It seemed that when she threatened to bury everyone with her, she really meant it. At the same time, it could be said that the person behind all this madness must be someone very mighty!

“Little Cang, do you recognize this sorcery? Is there any way to break it?” Gu Xijiu asked the Firmament Stone on her wrist for help. However, it seemed dead and unresponsive.
