A sudden light appeared in front of my eyes, the rustling wind, the gurgling water, the earthy fragrance of green grass swimming on the tip of my nose... my five senses have never been so sharp and clear.

Zhang Zheng has passed the exit and appeared outside Xiaojie Mountain.

She looked back at Xiaojieshan, what a pity, it was not even close...

That’s all, it’s time to go to Xiaoyin Mountain to see it.

As soon as Zhang Zheng arrived at the location of Xiaoyin Mountain, he saw that there was nothing in front of him.

The mountain peaks that were so high as the clouds have disappeared, as if they have been completely moved away, leaving only the empty ground without any grass.

He sighed secretly and was about to turn around and leave when a slight movement suddenly came from not far away.

She immediately activated the invisibility charm, squatted motionless behind the thick tree trunk, and quietly opened her consciousness to explore the place where the movement came from.

Among the tall grass, a woman brushed aside the weeds and walked with heavy steps.

Cao Ran!

The familiar face almost made Zhang Zheng scream.

As a demon cultivator, how dare she step into Wanxuan Sect again!

Cao Ran didn't seem to have made much progress in these years. His cultivation level only increased by three levels, and he reached the twelfth level in the Qi Refining Period.

Due to the gap in cultivation, she was unable to detect Zhang Zheng's spiritual consciousness.

She was wearing the Qingzhu sect uniform of an outer disciple of Wanxuan Sect, with a gray storage bag and a broken disciple token around her waist.

It seems that he is still an ordinary outer disciple of Wanxuan Sect, rather than a demon cultivator who ambushed and killed his fellow disciples.

She walked to Xiaoyin Mountain, looked at the deserted open space, and stood there like a stone for a long time.

After a while, she brushed the storage bag at her waist and held a black stone token in her hand.

Zhang Zheng could see how hard she was holding her hand, and the veins on the back of her hand were popping up, but her eyes were calm and showed no emotion at all.

"Look, here I come."

Cao Ran suddenly spoke with a mocking look on his face.

She seemed to be saying what she wanted to hear, but also seemed to be saying what no one was listening to. "Who can blame me if I didn't get to see him for the last time."

The Black Stone Token drew an arc in the air, and when it was about to hit the ground, a spell penetrated the token, shattered into several pieces, and fell to the wasteland, stirring up dust.

Cao Ran looked solemnly at the token fragments on the ground for a while, then turned and left, his green bamboo skirt swaying in ripples.

The strange formation, the ominous black energy, the ferocious face of the demon cultivator...

Various images flashed by quickly, and finally stopped in the old woman's desperate pupils, and she could not stop wailing and screaming.

Zhang Zheng's heart ached and her eyes turned red.

Cao Ran...

Demon cultivator spy...

How could she let this evil man, who had killed so many innocent people, live free for the rest of his life with his sins in his hands?

The spiritual light transforms the network into a prison.

Cao Ran couldn't even react to fight back, he was already trapped in the spiritual prison.

The difference between foundation building and Qi training is like this, a world of difference.

Zhang Zheng released the hidden breathing talisman and walked to Cao Ran.

Her eyes were faintly red, showing her deep hatred for the people in the prison, "Why did you sneak into Wanxuanmen?"

The spiritual prison is very stable, and there is even a dazzling firelight flowing on it.

Cao Ran knew that he could not escape this disaster, so his dull expression became relaxed.

"The demonic cultivator sneaked into the righteous path, why should you do it?"

She didn't answer the question.

Without waiting for Zhang Zheng's answer, Cao Ran quietly destroyed the storage bag and glanced at her, half admiring and mocking, "I didn't expect you to survive... Why, you trapped me and...

Why don't you kill me quickly to avenge your fellow sect?"

Zhang Zheng was not moved by her, his eyes were fierce, and he stubbornly asked: "Who are you here for?"

"Ha ha……"

Cao Ran suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, and then looked at her with an unreasonably weird expression.

"Who am I here for?"

"If you ask today, I am here for an old friend."

She wrapped her hands around the ends of her hair, her movements were soft and delicate, and she looked up and down at Zhang Zheng mockingly, "If you ask about the past..."

His eyes flickered, and his spiky hair pointed straight at Zhang Zheng.

"Of course I'm here for you."

Being stared at by her strange eyes, Zhang Zheng felt inexplicably panicked, as if she was facing a piece of black cloth, and behind the black cloth was the most terrifying thing she didn't want to face.

Stop asking, don’t ask, kill her quickly...

The inner voice tried to dissuade her, not to lift the black cloth, not to face what was behind the black cloth.

Zhang Zheng heard his own voice tremble, "What do I have that is worthy of your plans?"

Cao Ran saw through the fear in her heart through her forced calm expression.

"Yeah, what do you have that is worthy of me?"

She mocked herself, her face became distorted, and she shouted: "You should ask yourself!"

She looked crazy, staring at Zhang Zheng with eyes filled with resentment. Strange black and red totems sprouted from her neck, spreading to her face like winding vines, and penetrated into her pupils.

The whites of his eyes were almost covered with black and red vines, as if they were stained with blood.

"What do you want to ask! What are you hiding from!"

"Haha...I know, let me tell you!"

Cao Ran's slender white fingers were trembling, and his nails scratched the flesh, drawing blood.

The dark pupils of her eyes could no longer be seen at all, and they were piercing straight towards Zhang Zheng.

"They all died for you! They died for you!"

"For your damn-"

Before he finished speaking, the shrill voice suddenly stopped.

Terrifying black and red vines penetrated the body, heart, and between the eyebrows... The vines burst out of the body, twisting like living creatures, bringing out bright red and dazzling blood.

Tick-tick, it fell to the ground.

The ground quickly turned into a pool of blood, Cao Ran's ferocious and stern face completely stopped, and his body was limp and drooping, like a boneless thing.

Zhang Zheng stood there in a daze, looking at the blood that was constantly accumulating on the ground, which was so red that it was dazzling and heart-piercing.

The blood mist in the sky seemed to appear before her eyes again, covering all her sight, leaving only a patch of blood red.

They all died for you!

They all died for me!

Her lips trembled and she murmured.

They had never met before. Before that, she didn't even know that there was a place called Zhangshui Prefecture and a town called Li Sijia Town in the world.

But...they all died because of her...

It's not her fault. Zhang Zheng's weak rationality tried to persuade her and try to gain the upper hand, but she failed every time.

If it weren't for her, the demon cultivators wouldn't use them as a trick;

If she had not destroyed the formation, they would not have died tragically within a breath;

If she...if she had died in the secret realm, if the demon cultivators had already gotten what they wanted from her...

A trace of blood flowed from Zhang Zheng's dull eyes, flowing down her cheeks and shattering in the wind.

The spiritual prison collapsed suddenly, turning into pure spiritual energy and overflowing.

Cao Ran's body was annihilated inch by inch, along with strange vines and a pool of blood on the ground.

Everything returns to nothingness.

Suddenly, an almost invisible line of black and red blood slowly emerged from the place where Cao Ran disappeared, swaying towards Zhang Zheng, piercing Zhang Zheng's skin and exploring his meridians as if it were nothing.

The blood line wandered through the meridians, all the way to the Dantian, but when it was about to enter the Dantian, it paused, as if it saw something that made it afraid, and turned back, shaking its head and tail.

Attached to the meridians, it disappears from existence.

Zhang Zheng knew nothing about this.

Her mind seemed to be divided into two factions, fighting with each other, trying to gain the upper hand and suppress the other party.

My head hurts so much that it feels like it's about to burst. My heart also hurts so much that I can't breathe.

"Awake!"

The roar was deafening.

Reason instantly took over, and all the bad thoughts receded. She arched her waist, dug her nails into her flesh, and gasped for air like a fish out of water.
