Chapter 5329
She subconsciously straightened her clothes, and a trace of unspeakable embarrassment flashed across her brow.
She had been inseparable from Kai these days, and the indulgence she had indulged when her love was deep was now turning into a faint numbness and swelling in her waist, reminding her of the tenderness and madness of last night.
Kai had already noticed her strangeness. His fingertips gently brushed the loose hair on her forehead, and his voice was so gentle that it could drip water: “I will return immediately after I finish dealing with the matter in the Black Wind Mountains.”
“Rest here peacefully and don’t let your mind wander. I’ll come back and help you clear up that blockage.”
Before she finished speaking, two red clouds appeared on Ling Xue’s cheeks, and even her ears were stained with the color of rouge.
She knew that her cultivation was still shallow and that she would only be a burden if she followed them. She could only suppress her reluctance and nodded, her eyes slightly reddened and her voice choked with sobs: “You…must return safely.”
“Don’t worry.” Kai smiled and rubbed her head. When he turned around, the tenderness in his eyes instantly turned into a sharp edge.
Hu Mazi had been waiting outside the courtyard for a long time. When he saw Kai coming out, he grinned and said, “Let’s go. If we’re any later, those old ghosts in the Evil Dao Hall will have a hard time breathing.”
The two men looked at each other, and the spiritual power around them suddenly burst out. They used the air-control technique under their feet to the extreme, and their figures turned into two streams of light that soared into the sky and rushed towards the Black Wind Mountains on the border of the fifth heaven.
Ling Xue stood in the corridor, watching their backs gradually disappearing. She raised her hand to touch her still hot cheeks, and silently repeated the word “safe” in her heart until the two figures completely disappeared into the sky.
The Black Wind Mountains are located in the desolate area at the edge of the Fifth Heaven. They are shrouded in dark green miasma all year round. Monsters and beasts roam rampant in the depths of the mountains. Even cultivators with decent cultivation dare not set foot in them easily.
Kai and Hu Mazi sped along at lightning speed, pushing their flying skills to the limit. The wind whistled in their ears, and the towns and forests below quickly retreated. In just three days, they had reached the outskirts of the Black Wind Mountains.
Before entering the mountain range, a strong and indissoluble smell of blood hit me in the face, mixed with the stench of rotting flesh and the fishy smell of grass and trees, forming a disgusting smell.
The air was filled with a faint gray-black mist, which contained wisps of cold and evil energy, the unique aura of the monks of the Evil Dao Hall.
Hu Mazi frowned and quickly made a cleansing gesture with his hands. A light golden talisman appeared in his palms and instantly turned into a light shield that enveloped the two of them, isolating the evil spirits that tried to invade.
“Goodness, this place is much more sinister than the last time I came here.” He smacked his lips, a serious look flashing in his eyes. “It seems that You Wuxie has been making a lot of trouble here. I’m afraid he really has done something famous.”
Kai’s eyes turned cold, and his right hand moved slightly. The Dragon-Slaying Sword at his waist seemed to sense something, and made a clear humming sound. Then it automatically came out of its sheath and hovered beside him.
A faint golden light shone through the sword, as if a golden dragon was swimming within it. “The more this is the case, the more it proves they are guilty.”
His voice was calm, yet filled with unquestionable authority. “Master Hu, let’s split up and explore. You go to the valley on the left, and I’ll go to the dense forest on the right. We’ll meet here in half an hour.”
“Okay.”
Hu Mazi responded, and his figure flashed, with three yellow talismans in his hand. The talismans were painted with complicated runes in cinnabar, emitting a faint spiritual light.
He threw the talisman into the air and muttered something. The talisman instantly turned into three yellow streams of light, dragging long tails of flames and rushing into the miasma-filled mountains. He followed closely behind, and his figure soon disappeared in the thick fog.
Kai took a deep breath, and the power of the dragon in his body quietly began to circulate. Golden scales began to spread from his wrists and soon covered his arms. A faint golden halo surrounded his body, forcing the surrounding miasma back three feet.
