Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

In the blink of an eye, the turbulent seawater corroded his feet, leaving them covered in blood.

"Shuang'er, come here."

"Brother Bufan, where is Sister Jieyu? Did Young Master Ya go to rescue Sister Jieyu?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll carry you."

Ignoring the excruciating pain, Yu Bufan carried Shuang'er on his back, put away his bamboo fan, and used his finger as a brush to write the character "stone".

Countless rocks fell like rain.

Yu Bufan used his hands to protect Shuang'er's head, and his feet kept stepping on the falling rocks to help him fly back to the shore.

"Brother Bufan, your foot is injured, and your head has been smashed by a rock!"

"It's alright, let's go meet up with Ya Shao."

Yu Bufan carried Shuang'er on his back and hurried towards the place he had agreed to meet with Ya Shao.

He was filled with doubts. The matter of the Tianxia Fengdao Prison had not yet been investigated, and now Ya Shao was in trouble. Who was secretly causing trouble?

They were running hurriedly, for a storm was brewing.

Chapter 17 The Leaping Stone, the Pioneer of the Burning Buddhist Prison

Not long after Yu Bufan carried Shuang'er to the agreed location, Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun also rescued Jie Yu.

"Sister Jieyu!"

"Shuang'er!"

When the two met, it was as if they had been reunited after a lifetime. Thinking of the red card player who had been skinned alive, the two embraced and wept bitterly.

Looking at the frenzied Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun, Yu Bufan asked, "Young Master Ya, what exactly is going on?"

“A long time ago, my good friend Qiu Zhao discovered someone’s conspiracy, but that person killed Qiu Zhao instead. I avenged my friend by killing that person.”

"and after?"

“Just a few days ago, the person I killed reappeared.”

Yu Bufan was shocked: "Is resurrection from the dead a popular trend now?"

"I didn't know that the person sent me my old sword. So I told Hongpai, Jieyu and Shuang'er to retire. I never expected that Hongpai would still be killed."

Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun's tone was full of hatred.

"who's that person?"

"His name was Bai Lixingji. I personally nailed him to the opposite peak wall, but his body mysteriously disappeared later. According to a friend, Bai Lixingji was not from the Bitter Realm, but came from a mysterious place, and his resurrection may be related to this."

Yu Bufan pondered for a moment and said, "Jieyu and Shuang'er have been rescued safely, but that person will definitely not give up. The most urgent thing now is to get Shuang'er and Shuang'er to a safe place."

"None of my residences are safe."

"Even sealing off the world with swords is not safe."

Yu Bufan told Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun about the disappearances of the famous sword Yin Yue and the assassin Ci Xue Lan.

"Is this really true? Could it be that Dao Wuji is deceiving us?"

"It's not certain yet; I'm currently tracking down the whereabouts of the escaped criminals."

"The Bitter Realm is so vast that there is not a single safe place that can accommodate Jieyu and Shuang'er."

Yu Bufan hesitated and said, "There is a very safe place, but I'm afraid that if I tell you, it will offend Young Master Ya."

“Speak, you are my friend and you saved Shuang’er, how could I blame you for being offensive?”

"This place is Tiandu."

"Ok?"

Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun never expected that Yu Bufan would mention Tian Du, and was immediately displeased: "It was Dao Wuji who sent Jun Manlu to Tian Du, which is why Wuxin committed suicide. I went to Tian Du to challenge Luo Hou for Wuxin's sake, so how could I send Jie Yu Shuang'er there now?"

"I'm sorry, it was my oversight."

In order to rescue Jun Manlu for his friend Dao Wuxin, Tian Dao risked his life to fight Luo Hou. If he were to send Jieyu and Shuang'er to Tiandu now, it would be tantamount to betraying the deceased Dao Wuxin.

Yu Bufan said self-deprecatingly, "My little sister also died because of Luo Hou, yet now I regard him as a savior. How ridiculous."

Seeing that the two of them had fallen silent, Jieyu said, "Young Master Ya, please take Shuang'er and me to Tiandu."

"why?"

"Only in this way can Ya Shao be free from any worries and wholeheartedly avenge the red card."

"Understand!"

Jieyu pulled Shuang'er down to kneel gracefully: "Young Master Ya, I've heard that Jun Manlu is living a good life in Tiandu. I suppose Luo Hou isn't a difficult person to get along with. Besides, Jun Manlu is Young Master Ya's friend, so she will take care of us."

"this?"

Yu Bufan thought to himself, no wonder among the three confidantes, Ya Shao liked Jieyu the most. She was indeed kind-hearted and quick-witted.

People all admire the flower that understands words, but they don't know for whom the flower understands words.

The living are ultimately more important than the dead. After much struggle, Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun finally agreed to send Jie Yu and Shuang Er to Tian Du.

"Bufan, are you sure Luo Hou will take them in?"

"I trust my instincts."

When Yu Bufan and his companions arrived in Tiandu to request an audience, not only were Jun Manlu and Huang Quan surprised, but Luo Hou also seemed to be deep in thought.

On that day, he directed Yu Bufan to Cangfeng Palace, thus changing the fate of one person, and subsequently changing the fate of a group of people.

One star lights up another, and the sky becomes a sky full of stars.

How wonderful.

After several days of renovation, Tiandu has a brand-new look. In addition to the palace, the streets are well-connected and many guest rooms have been added.

"Please feel free to stay anywhere."

"Thank you, Lord Wu. I will come to fetch them after I have avenged them."

"It doesn't matter."

Yu Bufan couldn't help but recount what had happened in the Shenwu Peak prison: "May I ask, Lord Wu, who would rescue these assassins?"

"Those who need them."

"Is it the person behind them?"

"Since they are assassins, they will reappear sooner or later."

Thorn Orchid is one of Dao Wuji's hidden forces, known as the Five Kill Formation. In terms of danger, she is far less dangerous than another female subordinate.

Naturally, these hidden powers await Yu Bufan's gradual discovery.

Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun recounted his grudge against Bai Li Xing Ji, then asked in bewilderment, "This person is clearly no match for me, so why does he still want to provoke me?"

Traces of countless tortures.

Luo Hou thought to himself, "I didn't expect that the pioneers of the Fire House Buddhist Prison would appear so soon."

"Perhaps you have something he wants."

"Things? Could it be that stone..."

Yu Bufan asked curiously, "What kind of stone?"

"Back then, my friend Qiu Zhao, in his quest for victory, pondered the sword mark I left on the opposite peak wall and unexpectedly discovered a secret hidden behind it. That stone was the one he picked up from the opposite peak wall."

"Where is that stone?"

Tian Dao smiled wryly: "That stone looked ordinary. I casually threw it on the ancient mountainside and I don't know where it rolled off to."

"Did Qiu Zhao reveal the secret of the Peak Wall?"

Tian Dao shook his head: "He only said there was a secret behind the mountain wall. After I avenged him, I searched for a long time but found nothing. It was clearly just a solid mountain wall."

Yu Bufan then asked Luo Hou, "What does Wu Jun think?"

"If you find that stone, bring it to Tiandu, and I'll see what wonders it has."

"Yes, thank you for taking in Jieyu and Shuang'er, Wu Jun. Xiao Jian Dun has been bothering us for a long time. Farewell."

"I'll be going with Ya Shao, please."

Yu Bufan stood up and bowed to Luo Hou and the others in farewell.

"please."

Jun Manlu handed Shao Hao to Xu Jiao, then stood up and said, "Martial Lord, I'll go see off Young Master Ya and the Left Protector."

"Go."

The setting sun casts its slanting rays, its afterglow gentle and tender.

Jun Manlu bid farewell to Yu Bufan and Tian Dao Xiao Jian Dun, saying, "Take good care of yourselves, both of you."

Tian Dao asked, "Are you alright here?"

Jun Manlu smiled and said, "Very good."

None of the three mentioned Dao Wuxin's name, but they all silently kept the name in their hearts.

Soon, Jun Manlu returned, took Jieyu and Shuang'er and left the main hall to their respective rooms.

Huang Quan stared intently at Luo Hou.

"Does my face fascinate you so much?"

"You've been repairing all day long, did you anticipate they'd be moving in?"

"I am not a god."

"So, you're preparing a harem for yourself?"

"You think too much……"

Huang Quan, however, did not believe it and sneered a few times: "Gentle Jieyu and innocent Shuang'er, it's really hard to choose between them."

"To be honest, all I did was rebuild the heavens to recruit soldiers and horses, so that heroes could vie for supremacy, and winter was coming."
