A red light flashed, a curtain of red lines spread like clouds, rolling towards Zhu Caiwei and blocking her path. Behind her, Xia Xianning’s sword qi burst forth, directly pursuing her.
Under their joint attack, Zhu Caiwei felt her head was about to fall off her neck. Gritting her teeth, she revealed a dagger and used all her strength to slice through the red lines!
Even Zhu Caiwei didn’t expect that her all-out strike would create a gap in the encirclement. Luo Yingbai’s hand paused, and Zhu Caiwei seized the opportunity to escape.
Luo Yingbai’s face showed no sign of regret. After withdrawing his hand, he winked at Xia Xianning and said, “Shall we chase?”
Xia Xianning slightly nodded, and the two followed Zhu Caiwei from a not-too-near distance. Luo Yingbai was clearly deliberately letting her go because they both knew that in this place, if Zhu Caiwei wanted to survive, her only helper could be Ge Panming.
Moonlight spilled, the night like water, Udumbara flowers gradually bloomed on the ground, their petals bright red as blood, fragrance filling the chest. In the midst of the flower sea stood a solemn and magnificent palace.
The palace was built against a towering cliff, so high it seemed to reach the clouds. Zhu Caiwei rushed into the palace first.
Xia Xianning stopped, and Luo Yingbai ran up from behind, almost crashing into his back, and quickly braked, placing a hand on Xia Xianning’s shoulder: “What’s wrong?”
Xia Xianning felt a throbbing pain in his temples. The red flowers before his eyes seemed to hallucinate into a blood sea, slowly meandering and converging into a massive demonic claw reaching towards his feet.
Xia Xianning was suddenly startled, his first reaction was to push Luo Yingbai behind himself, then draw his sword.
The sword blade flashed, illuminating his elegant features. Luo Yingbai held his hand, speaking softly: “Xianning!”
Xia Xianning suddenly came to his senses, the blood-colored vision vanishing, returning to the brilliant flower sea. He turned his head; Luo Yingbai’s familiar face showed concern.
For some reason, Xia Xianning’s heart quietly relaxed, like a precious treasure thought to be lost was found safely nestled in his arms.
