It was slowly stabbing towards Zhu'er's heart, the sharp tip of the knife almost touching Zhu'er's clothes.
At this critical moment, when life hung by a thread,
With a "whoosh," a dark shadow darted out from under the bed like lightning.
It turned out to be a young man whose body was covered in strange runes.
The talismans shimmered eerily in the dim light.
Without hesitation, he rushed towards Sister Qing, moving so fast that no one had time to react.
To everyone's astonishment, he suddenly stretched out his bare hands and tightly grasped the sharp blade of the dagger.
Blood gushed from his palm instantly, dripping onto the cold, hard ground and splashing up crimson flowers.
However, there was no pain or fear in his eyes, but rather a firm and resolute determination to die for his cause.
Wei Changxuan's eyes widened instantly, his face filled with shock and disbelief. He blurted out:
"How is this possible? Who is this?"
What shocked everyone even more was...
The moment the young man raised his head, a mysterious power flickered deep within his eyes—it was clearly the golden light unique to the dragon race.
Dazzling and captivating, like the most brilliant star in the darkness. Yunshang couldn't help but exclaim softly in surprise:
"That's the blood of the North Sea Dragon?" The voice was filled with shock and doubt...
Chapter 174 The Underwater World, the White Jade Pagoda!
Wei Changxuan was about to open his mouth and ask Yunshang what the deeper meaning of "interconnected fate" was,
Before he could even utter a word, the once hard and smooth blue bricks beneath his feet suddenly cracked without warning.
Immediately afterwards, countless cracks, like wildly growing vines or a rapidly spreading spider web, covered the surface of the blue bricks in the blink of an eye.
At the same time, the jade bracelet on Yunshang's wrist, which was originally as warm and smooth as jade and flawless, also made a slight but heartbreaking cracking sound.
With that sound, the jade bracelet instantly turned into a pile of jade fragments, which fell from her slender, fair wrist, splashing softly on the ground.
However, what happened next was even more astonishing.
The scattered jade fragments on the ground underwent a strange transformation to everyone's astonishment.
They shimmered with a faint light, and after a moment, they transformed into dozens of lively little fish.
These little fish seemed to have been given life, or perhaps they had received some kind of mysterious command.
Wiggle its small tail, and swam swiftly towards the southeast.
Her movements were light and fluid, and she quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
"This is a sea sacrifice formation!" Yunshang's expression changed drastically upon seeing this.
She hurriedly reached out and tore off the silk ribbon around her waist, which was already stained with mottled blood.
With a flick of her arm, she forcefully tossed the incredibly soft ribbon through the air.
In an instant, the ribbon unfurled in the wind, as if pulled by an invisible force, and quickly expanded to a width of three zhang (approximately 10 meters).
At the same time, a shocking image began to appear on the ribbon:
The footage shows an unnamed fishing village in the East China Sea facing annihilation.
The wind howled, stirring up towering waves. Beneath the waves, countless enormous shellfish appeared and disappeared, rising and falling in the water.
Inside each seashell lay an unconscious girl, her face as pale as paper, devoid of any color, as if drained of all life force, trapped in endless pain and despair.
At this moment, the young leader of the canal gang, who had been standing quietly to the side, suddenly began to tremble violently.
He pressed his hands tightly to his chest, a look of pain on his face, and his knees buckled, causing him to collapse to his knees with a thud.
Within the brocade robe he wore, several strange, reverse-scale patterns gradually emerged.
The textures radiated a mysterious luster, as if telling untold secrets.
With trembling hands, he painstakingly groped his way out of his robes and pulled out an ancient and elegant blood-red jade pendant.
"Our canal wharf is just... about thirty miles away."
His voice was weak and hoarse. Before he could finish speaking, he lost consciousness due to exhaustion.
At this very moment, the large character "天" (heaven) inlaid on the front of the jade plaque, soaked with freshly dripped blood,
It stood out conspicuously, as if warning of an impending crisis.
Asking for flowers
Wei Changxuan gripped his longsword tightly, and with a slight flick of the tip, touched a piece of cold iron armor.
In an instant, the metal clanged together, producing a slight tremor that was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Then, a chilling scene unfolded.
The hard metal surface was as if it had been splashed with strong acid, rapidly corroding and emitting wisps of fine, pungent blue smoke.
Wisps of smoke rose, and an indescribable fishy smell filled the air.
The stench, like a mixture of rotting flesh and deep-sea creatures, filled my nostrils.
It made my heart skip a beat, and I couldn't help but feel nauseous.
Zhu'er stood to the side, her once clear eyes now filled with pain.
She suddenly covered her right eye with both hands, and a pale golden liquid seeped out from between her fingers, shimmering eerily in the moonlight.
Her body trembled slightly, as if she were enduring some indescribable pain, and even her voice trembled:
"I saw it..." She took a deep breath, trying to calm her rapid breathing, but she still couldn't hide the fear and panic in her voice.
"There is a white jade pagoda submerged in the deep sea, with seven glass lamps hanging from its spire. The light is soft and mysterious, like countless stars gathered in one place."
Her description seemed to transport everyone to a mysterious and unpredictable underwater world.
The white jade tower glowed faintly in the dark depths of the sea, both alluring and exuding an aura of danger…
Chapter 175 Heavenly Sect's Holy Son—Li Lingsu!
While Wei Changxuan and the others were immersed in pondering the unknown road ahead,
A faint breeze gently swept by, causing the candlelight to flicker and the light and shadow to dance freely on the wall.
As everyone's gaze unconsciously followed the shifting light and shadow,
Only then did they realize that a remarkably handsome young man was already sitting at the round table.
The man was dressed in a black robe, with gold and silver threads meticulously embroidered.
The 610 Office shone with a luxurious yet blinding light in the flickering candlelight, a light that seemed to carry a tangible sense of oppression.
It is so striking that its presence cannot be ignored.
The young man noticed the gazes directed at him by Wei Changxuan and the others.
In an instant, with a "thump," he knelt down on both knees, his whole body hitting the ground heavily, his movements hurried and chaotic.
Immediately afterwards, a pleading voice, trembling with sobs, suddenly rang out in the silent space:
"Young master, please save me! I am truly desperate and have nowhere else to turn!"
The voice was filled with despair and helplessness; every word seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of the soul.
Seeing this, Mu Nanzhi's delicate brows furrowed slightly. Always perceptive, she softly reminded him:
"Young master, this person's behavior before and after is completely different."
They seem like completely different people; one must be wary. Could they be harboring ulterior motives, plotting something sinister?
Jiang Fang, who was listening nearby, wholeheartedly agreed and nodded in agreement.
“Miss Nan Zhi is absolutely right. Young master, you must be careful and not trust him too easily.”
Janet, however, looked on with curiosity, tilting her head to one side and widening her eyes.
He stared unflinchingly at Li Lingsu, who was kneeling on the ground, muttering to himself:
"Looking at his pitiful appearance, it doesn't seem like he's faking it."
Yan Lingji gently waved the fan in her hand, a charming smile playing on her lips, and said leisurely:
"Whether it's true or false, let's hear him finish speaking first."
With the young master here, even if he dares to play any tricks, he won't be able to cause any real trouble.
Jing Ni remained silent, her hand always firmly gripping the hilt of her sword.
His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, were fixed on Li Lingsu with vigilance, not missing a single subtle movement or expression.
Wei Changxuan remained calm, taking a step forward imperceptibly, bending down and extending his hand.
With gentle yet steady movements, he helped the young man up and asked softly:
"Get up first, don't panic so much. Tell me slowly, what happened that made you look so disheveled?"
The young man stood up and straightened his clothes, which had become slightly disheveled from kneeling.
He took a deep breath, as if to calm the turbulent emotions within him, and then slowly spoke:
"To be honest, I am Li Lingsu, the Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect." "The Holy Son of the Heavenly Sect?"
Wei Changxuan's heart jolted, and the image of Li Miaozhen flashed into his mind like lightning.
Almost instinctively, he blurted out, "Are you Li Miaozhen's senior or junior brother?"
Li Lingsu paused slightly upon hearing the question, seemingly surprised by the name.
But he quickly realized what she meant and said, "Li Miaozhen? Is she the Holy Maiden of the Heavenly Sect?"
If that's the case, then I'm her senior brother.
Li Lingsu paused, a complex expression appearing on her face, and then said:
"I previously traveled to Donghai County, where I met the Dongfang sisters, who are the First and Second Palace Masters of the Donghai Dragon Palace. 4."
I thought it was a beautiful and wonderful fate, but I...
He was momentarily blinded by greed and made a grave mistake, committing a heartless and unfaithful act.
