Chapter 342 Lotus Tower 1
It is already March in the Central Plains, but the places near the Tianshan Mountains are still freezing cold, freezing to the bone, and water freezes into ice.
The white snowflakes fell like goose feathers. After a while, they accumulated on the ground, forming a thick layer of white snow.
A woman with a fluffy fox fur scarf around her neck and a white cloak wrapped tightly around her body was walking in the snow. From a distance, she seemed to have merged into the entire snow-capped mountain and could not be distinguished.
Even though she was very light, the thick snow made a crunching sound when she stepped on it.
The silence all around made the sound of her footsteps on the snow particularly obvious.
From a distance, one could seem to hear the woman mumbling something.
When you get closer, you can clearly hear what she says.
"This damned Blood Domain Demon, why did you have to come to this freezing Tianshan Mountain instead of anywhere else? You made me travel thousands of miles to freeze in this icy and snowy place. If I find you, I will not be called Ling Xi unless I skin you alive."
Ling Xi was wrapped in a white cloak inlaid with fur, but in his heart he was cursing this Blood Domain Demon to his ancestors and even wanted to cut the old thing into pieces.
In this world, for some unknown reason, Ling Xi's body was in very poor condition when he was born, so weak that it was almost dying.
If it weren't for her crazy master passing by at that time, she might not have survived.
This also surprised Ling Xi. Her vitality was clearly still there, but it had no effect on her.
She had been nourishing her body with vitality for the past fifteen years, and as a result of practicing martial arts and cultivating her internal strength, her health had barely improved to about 80%.
The only problem I have is a cold body, which cannot be cured no matter what.
Look, with her strong inner strength, she can walk on the Tianshan Mountains as if it were flat ground. But because of her old illness of cold body, she has to wrap herself up like a bear, and even so, she still feels cold.
Thinking of this, Ling Xi sneezed again and reached out to wrap his cloak tighter.
Speaking of this Blood Domain Demon, he is extremely hateful.
It is rumored that this Blood Domain Demon is an ugly and disgusting old monster in his seventies or eighties. Over the years, he has been abducting young women from the outside world.
People outside said he was an old pervert, and some said he wanted to use young women to practice magic. In short, some of the news was not true.
Before this, she had been practicing martial arts with her master in the valley and rarely paid attention to things in the outside world.
It was not until she came out of the valley and traveled around the world for more than half a year that she noticed this Blood Domain Demon.
Therefore, she ran thousands of miles from the Central Plains to the Tianshan Mountains just to get rid of this immortal old man.
The lair of the Blood Domain Demon is in a hidden place halfway up the Tianshan Mountain. Ling Xi is extremely afraid of the cold, so he can only use this clumsy method to walk up from the foot of the mountain.
Even her lightness skill was less effective.
After walking for three days, Ling Xi finally arrived at the lair of the Blood Domain Demon.
Originally, she wanted to let herself be captured by the Blood Realm Demon and then attack from the inside.
But after wandering around the place where the Blood Domain Demon often moved for nearly half a month, the Blood Domain Demon did not appear.
Therefore, Ling Xi had no choice but to go to Tianshan Mountain.
The lair of the Blood Domain Demon is a series of caves, each of which is bottomless and nothing can be seen clearly from the outside.
Out of caution, Ling Xi took off his cloak.
As soon as the thick cloak was taken off, the biting cold wind from Tianshan Mountains roared towards Ling Xi. Almost in an instant, the coldness invaded Ling Xi's body and penetrated deep into his bones.
Ling Xi immediately shivered from the cold.
Ling Xi felt a little better only after he used his internal strength to resist the coldness that seemed to penetrate into his bones.
After secretly putting away her cape and scarf, Ling Xi held the sword in her hand, carefully used her Qinggong skills, and quickly slipped into the cave. Her Qinggong skills were very good, and in just a moment, Ling Xi's slender figure disappeared at the entrance of the cave.
After Ling Xi went in, two more people came to the entrance of the cave.
The visitors were two young men, one black and one white. The one in black looked a little older, while the one in white was unexpectedly young.
After the two men exchanged some unknown words, the younger man raised his sword, tapped his toes, and flew into the cave.
Another man stood guard outside, holding a sword.
Ling Xi didn't know all this.
After she entered the cave, she walked along the path inside.
Along the way, there were a few or a pile of bones scattered on the ground from time to time, which was extremely terrifying in the dark cave.
When Ling Xi saw these white bones, he hated the immortal Blood Domain Demon even more.
Along the way, Ling Xi also encountered many subordinates of the Blood Domain Demon.
Then, they all had their necks slashed by Ling Xi's sword.
The person who helps that old immortal is probably not a good person.
What's more, the blood energy on these people was so thick that it almost suffocated Ling Xi to death. She knew at a glance that these people had taken countless lives.
The road was smooth all the way until we reached the deepest part of the cave.
What surprised Ling Xi was that the deepest part of the cave was not the residence of the old monster, but a dark dungeon with no windows or candles, and not a single ray of sunlight could enter all year round.
There is only endless darkness.
Here, there is no sound at all, and it seems impossible to distinguish between day and night.
Ling Xi looked at all this and frowned slightly.
What does this old monster want to do by doing all this?
Living in a place like this, even a person who is not crazy will be driven crazy. Could it be that this Blood Domain Demon is not only an old monster, but also an old lunatic?
But think about it, anyone who can do so many bad things must be a madman.
Ling Xi tiptoed into the dungeon, unable to see anything in the pitch-black darkness.
However, Ling Xi keenly heard a few slight breathing sounds, very shallow, so shallow that they were almost negligible.
If you don't listen carefully, you won't notice it at all.
Ling Xi groped in the dark and lit the candle in the dungeon.
Soon, the entire dungeon became bright.
The bright candlelight illuminated the cave, allowing Ling Xi to see what the scene was like inside the dungeon.
In a cage, several women were lying on the ground, their hands were hung high above their heads with iron chains, blood kept flowing down their arms, and they looked extremely miserable.
His feet were also tied with iron chains.
The long hair of several people was scattered randomly, making it difficult to see their faces.
Their clothes were tattered and dirty, and Ling Xi could see countless scars on their bodies through the torn clothes.
There was almost no healthy flesh on his body, neck, wrists, and legs. In some places, the wounds had even opened and rotted, and in some places the skin had rolled up, looking particularly horrible.
Because so much blood had been shed, the clothes of several people had turned black due to being soaked in blood.
