The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

This is a pool filled with blood.

Luo Qingcheng climbed up; the blood pool was ridiculously large, and the pool she had fallen into earlier was very deep.

I wonder how many people's blood it would take to fill this blood pool to this extent.

Luo Qingcheng's storage bag is missing, and she can't even change her clothes now, so she can only wander around covered in blood.

Within a few steps, countless corpses could be seen floating on the pool of blood.

And one of the four ghosts we just saw was particularly conspicuous.

Luo Qingcheng's feelings were very complicated at this moment.

Is this an illusion or something real?

Before she could figure it out, a voice brought her back to her senses, "Little sister!"

It is Hu Muyu.

Luo Qingcheng was pleasantly surprised. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hu Muyu running towards her with a sword in his hand.

Very fast.

The reunion is certainly exciting, but is it really necessary to rush it?

Until Luo Qingcheng saw the... thing behind Senior Sister Hu.

As they got closer, Luo Qingcheng heard clearly that Hu Muyu said, "Girl! Run!"

Luo Qingcheng immediately started running in the opposite direction.

She knew it!

In this world, puzzle-solving isn't the main focus; chase sequences are!

On the huge mass of flesh were faces screaming in pain, their hands and feet flailing wildly in longing, seemingly eager to make the two of them members of the mass of flesh family.

Luo Qingcheng quickly told Hu Muyu to run after her.

Hu Muyu had no idea how long he had been chased by this thing. Despite being a cultivator, he was still sweating profusely from the chase.

"Senior sister, come with me, let's get out of this underground!"

Unexpectedly, Hu Muyu rejected her.

She gasped for breath and cried out, "Girl, if you know the way out, go! I can't take this thing out there and harm people!"

Their village had suffered from demonic calamity in the past, and Hu Muyu knew that even a demon at the Qi Refining stage could bring annihilation to mortals.

That despair of being powerless against demons still occasionally wakes her up in her dreams, even after so many years.

A senior brother from the Sword Inquiry Sect saved her back then, and she made up her mind to become a good person like that senior brother, protecting others.

Even though she is currently weak, she cannot allow this demon, which has clearly devoured millions of people, to harm the world!

Luo Qingcheng nodded, indicating that he understood.

Hu Muyu smiled with relief, thinking that Luo Qingcheng would leave first on his own.

If she had known the girl was in this location, she wouldn't have brought this disgusting lump of flesh here. Now, it's the best outcome that the girl has left and hasn't been implicated by her.

Unexpectedly, Luo Qingcheng, who was running ahead of him, suddenly stopped.

In a short time, Luo Qingcheng understood that Hu Muyu intended to sacrifice herself.

After all, even if Senior Sister Hu takes this thing around, she can't do it forever; there will always come a time when her spiritual power runs out.

If Senior Sister Hu can't defeat this lump of flesh, won't she be given away for nothing?

Let's just wipe out this lump of flesh.

Anyway, she's Feng Aotian, she won't die.

Having made up his mind, Luo Qingcheng reached for his sword, only to find nothing.

She paused for a moment, forgetting that the storage bag had been missing since she woke up.

Seeing Luo Qingcheng standing still, Hu Muyu became extremely anxious and shouted, "What are you doing, sister? Run!"

Luo Qingcheng looked in her direction and saw that Hu Muyu's storage bag was still hanging properly on her waist. He quickly called out, "Senior Sister, can I borrow a sword?"

As everyone knows, a sword is equivalent to a sword cultivator's Daoist partner.

Luo Qingcheng's act of asking to borrow someone else's Daoist partner without any hesitation was truly quite inconsiderate.

Fortunately, Hu Muyu wasn't one to hold grudges. Not knowing what Luo Qingcheng wanted the sword for, she still took out her second favorite Daoist partner from her storage bag and tossed it to Luo Qingcheng.

"Get it!"

"Hey!"

Luo Qingcheng beamed with joy after receiving the sword, and turned to rush towards the lump of flesh.

Hu Muyu was getting increasingly anxious about her unpredictable junior sister. She slammed on the brakes and chased after Luo Qingcheng, yelling at the top of her lungs, "Girl, what are you doing! Don't do anything rash!"

Luo Qingcheng's gaze was firm. "Senior sister, although I don't understand why you would rather sacrifice yourself to leave this monster underground, I said before we came to the illusion that I would protect you!"

Hu Muyu was stunned for a moment.

She initially thought Luo Qingcheng was just being polite, since he had told her before that she was born without spiritual roots.

Without spiritual roots, no matter how much Luo Qingcheng practices her swordsmanship or how skilled she becomes, she is still just a mortal.

How can a mortal body possibly fight against such a demon?!

Even though Hu Muyu witnessed Luo Qingcheng's journey to third place in the outer sect advancement tournament, it was ultimately not a legitimate achievement.

Therefore, Hu Muyu did not have high expectations for Luo Qingcheng's strength.

When Luo Qingcheng invited her to participate in the inner sect assessment, Hu Muyu assumed that the inner sect elders were dissatisfied with Luo Qingcheng's performance and were just looking for an excuse to make Luo Qingcheng give up his inner sect spot.

Before setting off, she made up her mind that she must protect her sister.

But she didn't know that Luo Qingcheng would deliberately seek death!

Just moments ago, the wind howled and the Yi River was cold. Hu Muyu, filled with righteous indignation, was on the verge of tears. He had thought he could survive until his spiritual power was exhausted, but now it seemed that was no longer possible.

How come I didn't notice before that besides being stubborn, this girl is also a bit dim-witted?

Perhaps this is Yu'er's fate.

Hu Muyu sighed softly, drew her sword, and turned to chase after Luo Qingcheng towards the demon.

Humans and demons are running towards each other; isn't that another kind of two-way journey?

In the midst of her busy schedule, Hu Muyu tried to change Luo Qingcheng's mind about actively seeking death.

She shouted at the top of her lungs, "Sister, come back quickly! I can't handle this alone!"

However, Luo Qingcheng ignored him, pretending that he hadn't heard anything, and kept charging at the demon while carrying his senior sister's second wife.

In just a few dozen seconds, the demon and Luo Qingcheng clashed.

Hu Muyu couldn't even make a sound.

That's too late!

She closed her eyes slightly, unable to bear watching Luo Qingcheng being devoured by demons and becoming a part of them.

A "plop" sound echoed in the empty underground space.

Hu Muyu felt a pang of regret and self-reproach as she thought about how a living person had died right before her eyes, and how she was clearly there but could do nothing about it.

If she hadn't brought the demon to the girl, how could the girl have been devoured by the demon?

A wave of bittersweetness washed over Hu Muyu, and she felt a tightness in her chest. A tear immediately slid down her cheek from the corner of her eye, which she had covered with her hand.

A voice brought her back to her senses. Luo Qingcheng asked cheekily, "Senior Sister, what are you standing there for?"

what?

Hu Muyu quickly moved her hand away.

Through teary eyes, Luo Qingcheng saw the unsightly demon's head, resembling a snail's tentacles, pierced by Luo Qingcheng's sword. Before the tentacles even fell to the ground, they turned into blood mist and disappeared.

The sword was tightly gripped by the fleshy mass and could not be pulled out. Luo Qingcheng, unwilling to let go in order to take responsibility for Hu Muyu's second wife, had no choice but to kick the huge fleshy mass for leverage while trying to pull it out with both hands.

She gritted her teeth and spat out a few words, "Senior sister, come quickly and save your wife!"
