Bitter Realm: My Feet Step Through the Flames of War

It was late autumn, and the maple forest, which should have been vibrant with color, was now only bare withered branches and yellow leaves scattered on the ground. The four-cornered pavilion was completely empty.

The light gauze lost its color, left to flutter in the cold wind.

"Fengxiu~ Fengxiu, where are you?"

Xiangling called out repeatedly, searching step by step.

Yu Cixin walked into the back garden and saw a giant round stone.

"This is a celestial stone from the upper realm. The array in the garden has not been destroyed, and the wedge should be here."

Why isn't he responding to me?

Yu Cixin drew her sword, and suddenly, the bright sword light shook the heavens and the earth, cutting through all the formations in the garden.

The loud noise forced the people in the cave behind the mountain to come out.

A figure in purple slowly approached.

Xiangling rushed over: "Fengxiu, it's so good to see you."

"What brings you two here?"

After not seeing each other for many days, Fengxiu had become thinner and more distant. The feather fan could not dispel her loneliness, and her brows could not hide her indifference.

Xiangling stared blankly, this coldness and aloofness that kept people at arm's length freezing all her enthusiasm.

Yu Cixin was furious: "Prologue, the Fate-Breaking Woman has been exiled to a place of suffering for you for hundreds of years, and this is how you repay her?"

"who are you?"

“Yu Cixin, special envoy of King Jiwu, if you cannot cherish the woman who brings you destiny, I will take her back to Broken Island.”

Feng Xiu was taken aback. He looked closely at Yu Cixin's face, and a distant scene gradually surfaced in his mind.

That was the last time he watched the Four Realms Martial Arts Competition, where Ya Di Wang, who had won the title of Four Realms Martial Arts Champion for ten consecutive years, was participating again.

King Yadi did not come alone; a beautiful young woman accompanied him.

A constellation of stars, a gathering of masters.

In the thrilling competition, besides King Yadi's unparalleled charisma, it was the radiant young girl who left a deep impression on the prologue.

"It's you?"

"Do you know me?"

Fengxiu suddenly smiled: "King Yadi won the martial arts championship for the eleventh consecutive time with his unique skills in the 'Military Scripture of Armor and Martial Arts,' but he disappeared not long after. Do you know where King Yadi went?"

King Yadi defeated the Crown Prince of the Heavenly Realm with a single palm strike, winning the Martial Champion title for the second time, and then returned to the Shattered Island of Slaughter with Yu Cixin.

Not long after, King Yadi suddenly disappeared and his whereabouts have been unknown ever since.

Immediately following this, the Fire Prison invaded the Shattered Isles of Slaughter, and the Tower of Compassion deployed troops in the northern border.

In the face of imminent danger, the elders supported the ascension of King Jiwu, the son of King Shu, to the throne, making him the new king of the Shattered Island.

After that, King Jiwu waged war in the north and south, defeated the Lord of Curses, drove back the troops of the Buddha Prison, and expelled the Pagoda of Compassionate Light, which was trying to reap the benefits, from the Maha Barrier.

Hearing the hidden meaning in Fengxiu's words, Yu Cixin couldn't help but ask in a deep voice, "Where did King Yadi go?"

“I already hinted at this in the ‘Chronicles of Araki,’ and it was because of this hint that I was wanted by the Four Realms.”

"Speak frankly!"

"King Yadi was besieged and killed by the Fire House Buddhist Prison and the Tower of Compassionate Light. The mastermind behind this was none other than Master Wuyi."

Chapter 96 The Past of King Yadi

King Yadi was besieged and killed by the Fire Prison and the Tower of Compassion?

Not only did Yu Ci's heart change color, but Xiang Ling was even more terrified: "Why would they surround and kill Father?"

"Because King Yadi was too strong, an invincible opponent was a disaster for neighboring countries. Although King Yadi was besieged and killed, he did not die. He was then sent to the Heavenly Realm by the Tower of Compassionate Light and imprisoned in the Prison of Forbidden Flow."

"But Father, you have always been a defender of peace. Shattered Island has never invaded other realms. What reason does the Heavenly Realm have to imprison you?"

Maple Leaf sneered: "I don't know how the Tower of Compassion persuaded Poetic Heavenly City. I only know that peace is impossible in the Four Realms because the Four Heavenly Sources are finite."

"What does this mean?"

Fengyou ignored Xiangling and turned to Yu Cixin, saying, "Since you are the special envoy of King Jiwu, I will give you another secret. King Yadi and the woman of the Tower of Compassionate Light have a son named Jian Zhichu, who lives in the Bitter Realm."

"what!"

This news shocked Yu Cixin even more than the death of King Yadi.

"The Broken Island cannot marry a woman from outside the realm, and the bloodline of the King Tree cannot be defiled. How could King Yadi possibly agree?"

"Go back and tell your king that you will make the right choice."

Yu Cixin looked at Maple Leaf Master. She didn't know why Xiangling was infatuated with this person, but she knew that this person was definitely not the man Xiangling could entrust her life to.

"Prologue, what benefit do you hope to gain from telling me these secrets?"

"Me? Hahaha~"

Maple laughed loudly: "Let the truth be revealed, let peace return, let justice prevail—that is my interest."

Yu Cixin sneered: "Only the Fate-Summoning Woman would believe your words. If these secrets are exposed, the Four Realms will be thrown into chaos. However, I will tell King Jiwu that, as you wish, the truth will surely be revealed!"

"Maple and Pomelo await the maiden's good news."

Yu Cixin finally asked, "Do you know where the sword's origin is?"

"I've heard that the Heartless Pavilion has eleven superior rooms, all named after the 'Military Manual of War'. You may explore them on your own, young lady."

"Destiny-averting woman, let's go."

"special envoy……"

Ignoring Xiangling's objections, Yu Cixin pulled Xiangling away from Hanse Mountain House.

"Now all is but a dream from this life, left to the winds and frosts to dissipate into dust. Looking back, the clouds part and the maple leaves reflect their colors, but the deep purple robes of yesteryear are nowhere to be seen. Xiangling, our fate ends here."

"Maple Pomelo~ Maple Pomelo~"

Xiangling kept turning back, only to see the woman in purple enter the cave.

Moments later, a deafening roar erupted, and rocks collapsed, burying the cave entrance deep within.

"Maple pomelo..."

Upon returning to the Heartless Pavilion, Fu Changgui personally greeted her: "Miss Yu is back."

Is my room still available?

"Keep it for the young lady. Young Master Luo paid for three days' room before he left."

"Three days! He wants me to leave as soon as possible."

Fu Changgui, sensing her unpleasant tone, didn't dare ask any further questions and instead offered a forced smile as he escorted the two of them upstairs.

Upstairs are those eleven superior rooms.

Yu Cixin stopped and suddenly asked, "Manager, who lives in these superior rooms?"

"Miss Yu, I'm sorry, we cannot disclose information about our distinguished guests so casually."

"Which room is Jian Zhichu staying in?"

Fu Changgui was taken aback, then smiled and said, "There is no such name among our distinguished guests."

"is it?"

Yu Cixin walked slowly by.

Heaven and earth were destroyed, all living beings perished, the mind was torn apart, and tranquility ceased.

Left side: Heaven, Earth, Life, Tranquility, Purity.

Right side: God, Crack, Destruction, Spirit, Rest.

There's another room at the very back.

Yu Cixin stood at the door of the abandoned room. She clearly remembered the overwhelming killing intent that came when she spoke to Luo Hou.

Fu Changgui quickly stopped her: "Miss Yu, this room belongs to our master, and he doesn't like to be disturbed."

"I'll only take one look."

Yu Cixin placed one hand on her sword and the other on the door.

Just then, the door opened from the inside, and a handsome man with black hair and a brocade robe, who looked like a woman, appeared before Yu Cixin.

Holding a bird-teasing stick made of black jade, he stretched and casually recited:

"A heart without intention is also a heart, freely observing the truth; indifference is not affection, drinking in peace."

Fu Changgui bowed and apologized: "Master, this is Miss Yu. She has entered the wrong room."

"You failed in your duty; your salary for this month will be deducted."

"Yes Yes Yes."

It turned out to be the owner of the shop; Yu Cixin relaxed her hand on the sword.

Xiangling was completely bewildered: "Special envoy?"

"Go back to the house."

Yu Cixin brought Xiangling back to the Lingzi room and spoke to her sternly for the first time: "You must not go looking for Xiezi again. There are too many questions about him."

"Special Envoy, this is my own business."

"Xiangling, think about your brother. If he knows that the late king was murdered, he will definitely attack the Fire Prison and the Tower of Compassion. War is about to break out. Do you want him to be distracted by you?"

"I……"

"Rest well here and wait for me to come back after I finish my business."

"where are you going?"

"Desert forest".

The area of ​​the Moshalin base has expanded again.
