Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C171
Mu Xiaoling watched from the side as the entire mansion was destroyed.
He couldn’t say much, but he could only say that it wasn’t that he didn’t want to report. The time had yet to come.
She turned around and left, but for a moment, she didn’t know where she was going. Her entire body was like a rootless duckweed, swaying in the wind. She walked here and there, watching the flowers bloom and fall, the world become cold and warm.
In the blink of an eye, five years had passed and she had grown up from a little girl to a big girl.
The old Daoist held the wine gourd in his hand and drank as he sang. When he saw Mu Xiaoling, he was startled and burst into laughter. “This isn’t your world. Why, are you reluctant to leave?”
These words were like a sledgehammer chopping into Mu Xiaoling’s head. He felt as though his entire body had relaxed as all of his memories returned to him.
Mu Xiaoling was completely enlightened as she pulled out her sword and pierced it through her heart. She didn’t want to risk her life to come back to life, so there was no need for her to feel nostalgic.
When he woke up, he felt like he had just awoken from a great dream.
At this moment, she was still in the stone chamber of the eighth gate of the trial ground’s fifth trial. Her surroundings were completely empty except for the worried gazes of Gu Xiu Hu and the others.
“I’m …”
As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that something was wrong.
Previously, her body was only fourteen years old, and her voice was somewhat immature, but now, her voice was abnormally mature and didn’t seem like that of a little girl’s.
Xue Qing held her chin in her hand as her eyes filled with interest. She took out a mirror and passed it to Mu Xiaoling.
Mu Xiaoling caught it and looked at herself in the mirror. She realized that her face had grown and she had grown taller. She looked like a twenty-year-old girl. She couldn’t help but be startled. “What is going on?”
Gu Xiu said, “You’ve already been sitting here for six days. Every day, your bones will age by one year.”
Jiang Feng said, “Master’s current age is twenty years old.”
Skysea Flame flew over and circled around Mu Xiaoling a few times, seemingly quite curious.
At this time, the mechanical voice spoke again: “The fifth test is to insert the trial-taker’s soul into another world fragment, until the trial-taker returns. The time you enter into this world is a bit different from the time in this world, and that year is only one day here.
After knowing the cause and effect, Mu Xiaoling wasn’t too panicked. She was already over 20 years old before she teleported to this world. However, her current body was just right for her. “I passed?”
The voice said, “Yes, the fifth test has a perfect score of 100 points. Congratulations on passing.”
Mu Xiaoling asked, “What’s the prize?”
This is a chance to enter the shrine.” “As the voice finished speaking, a black wooden box appeared in front of Mu Xiaoling. It opened on its own, revealing a white jade token with a dragon pattern.
When Gu Xiu heard this, he was surprised, “That place really exists?”
Mu Xiaoling took out the token and turned to look at Gu Xiu Hu. “Where?”
Gu Xiu said, “No one knows who built this shrine, and no one knows where it will appear. However, to enter the shrine, one must have white jade tokens. Every time three white jade tokens appear, a bloody rain will be caused in the Three Realms.”
Jiang Feng had been quietly staring at the token. He only felt that he had heard of the words of Gu Xiu Hu before. Suddenly, a splitting headache came over him. A tyrannical aura seeped out from the bottom of his heart, and in the blink of an eye, it covered his entire heart.
She immediately felt the change in Jiang Feng’s state. She turned around and saw that Jiang Feng’s eyes were blood-red and two fangs had grown out of his mouth. His fingernails had grown three inches and were suffused with a black luster.
With a roar, it rushed towards Xue Qing, who was the closest to it.
Xue Qing was caught off guard and had dodged in an extremely sorry state. However, Jiang Feng’s speed was just too fast. He was like a wild beast, and in the blink of an eye, his long nails were about to pierce Xue Qing’s chest.
At this critical moment, Xue Qing turned into a streak of light and flew back into the beast driving space.
Jiang Feng lost his target. With a roar, he aimed at Gu Xiu Hu.
Mu Xiaoling shouted, “Quickly go back!”
“No way!” Gu Xiu Hu gritted his teeth and refused. If he also left, what would Mu Xiaoling do?
Mu Xiaoling gritted her teeth and forced Gu Xiuhu and Skysea Flame back.
She was the only one left on the spot. Strangely, Jiang Feng was still struggling, as if he didn’t want to meet her at all.
At this time, that voice appeared again, “I didn’t expect that there would still be ten thousand year old demon corpses in this world.”
Mu Xiaoling hurriedly asked, “Senior, do you know what’s wrong with him?”
“The demon corpse was originally born from the devil aura, so no matter how good its performance was, it was nothing more than a big evil being. It was just stimulated to remove its vicious nature, and then poured its true essence into the Baihui acupoint, waking it up.”
However, with Jiang Feng like this, who would be able to approach him?
He gritted his teeth as he flew up to Mu Xiaoling and immediately blocked her attack. However, his movements were slow and sluggish as he was forced to take half of the attack. It seemed like he didn’t want to hurt Mu Xiaoling.
Jiang Feng’s body trembled as the blood color in his eyes gradually disappeared. The fangs retreated and his long nails turned to ash, vanishing just like that.
Knowing that, he looked at Mu Xiaoling in shock, “I …” “What’s going on?”
Mu Xiaoling’s face was pale as a sheet as she replied with a slight smile, “It’s nothing. You just fainted.”
Jiang Feng furrowed his brow in thought, but his memory was completely blank. He couldn’t think of anything, but the feeling in his heart was extremely strange, as if he had done something unforgivable.
At this time, the voice sounded again, “You can leave.”
“Leave?” Mu Xiaoling sneered. “Did you think I was joking when I said I would drag you out of here?”
The voice was silent.
Mu Xiaoling carefully examined the stone room and found that the target was a wall.
If one took a closer look, one would find that this wall had some thin lines on it. However, on this wall, there were a few small lines that were slightly damaged. It was obvious that this wall had moved about frequently.
She walked over and knocked on the wall. It was indeed empty. She gently pushed the wall open, but the things inside were simply shocking.
Four thick chains wound themselves around his four limbs. His heart was empty, and blood kept dripping from his wounds onto the ground. Some of the blood had already turned black and transparent, and it was unknown just how many years it had existed for.
“Congratulations to the trial-taker for discovering the hidden checkpoint. As long as the trial-taker continues to live for over an incense stick of time, he will pass.”
After the voice had finished, the door behind him closed. The stone room was pitch black, and he could not see anything.
