The Terrifying Path of Immortal Cultivation

"I saved your life, how will you repay me?"

The young lady had a faint smile at the corner of her mouth, looking at the handsome man in front of her, her beautiful eyes flowing with a hint of charm.

The man raised his eyebrows at her words, "Miss, I will never forget the favor of saving my life."

"But I have a request, I won't hesitate to go through fire and water."

The young lady lightly covered her mouth with her right hand and smiled, "Haha, forget it, seeing you like this, there's nothing you can do to repay me."

"First, let's heal your wounds, and in an hour we will arrive at Dragon Path City."

Upon hearing this, the man's expression suddenly changed.

"Miss, how long ago was it when you saved me?"

The young lady glanced at him, "Just about fifteen minutes ago."

The man's face changed drastically, "Miss, I must leave immediately, or it will bring trouble to you all."

Saying this, he struggled to get up, his internal organs were in agony, and he was filled with intense pain.

The young maid beside him quickly held him down, "You are all injured, please don't move recklessly."

But the man hurriedly said, "Miss, I am being pursued by enemies, and soon they will catch up to me."

"The pursuer is a ghost cultivator from the Wheel Hall, if he catches up, all of you will die."

Upon hearing this, the young lady's expression slightly condensed.

"The Wheel Hall? One of the Ten Ghost Halls? How did they come to the North Continent?"

Upon hearing the young lady's words, the man gave a bitter smile and said, "I don't know either, I just happened to stumble upon one of their conspiracies."

"They were massacring a village, and I was unfortunate enough to pass by nearby and discovered their conspiracy, so I was pursued."

The young lady's expression turned serious, "We must accelerate our pace immediately."

Just then, a cry suddenly came from outside.

"Who are you!"

"Ah!" A piercing scream, and the thick smell of blood instantly filled the surroundings.

The man's face changed drastically, and the young lady's expression also became serious, while the maid's face turned pale with a hint of fear.

The young lady produced a jade talisman in her hand, grabbed the maid and the man, and at the same time crushed the jade talisman in her hand.

A mysterious light instantly enveloped the three of them, and the next moment they disappeared from there.

At the same time, a huge black palm slapped down from a strange mist.

Boom!

The terrifying force directly shattered the entire carriage, and a figure walked out from it.

It was the mysterious cultivator from earlier, and at this moment, a fierce ghostly hand had grown on his back, the very hand that had launched the attack.

Looking at the empty carriage and sensing the strange fluctuations in the air, he furrowed his brow.

"Hmm, this seems to be the spell of the Yin-Yang Sect - 'Yin-Yang Divine Void Escape'."

A hint of gloom appeared on his face, he knew the power of this escape technique.

Once cast, it could move freely within a radius of a hundred miles, and it was already too late to chase after them.

"Hmph, you're lucky."

Turning around, he disappeared into the thick mist, and the black smoke headed towards a distance.

Li Qing's shadow paper figure emerged from the nearby shadow, with a hint of contemplation on his face.

"It seems that as long as I appear there, it will inevitably cause trouble, big or small."

"Take note, in the future, I must not meddle in any affairs, and leave immediately if in danger."

"I must not give the world any chance to fix the bug."

Li Qing further realized his dangerous situation and became even more vigilant for the future.

"But this person seems extraordinary, actually able to turn bad luck into good. Clearly heavily injured, although he has broken through the Human Tribulation realm, without this woman's help, he should have been doomed."

At this point, all four guards of the carriage had been dismembered and turned into pieces of mutilated and desiccated bodies.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Qing's shadow paper figure disappeared from there.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, Li Qing cautiously concealed his true self, while the shadow paper figure shuttled under the Tai River, searching for any problematic areas.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't found any issues.

However, he discovered some other things that piqued his interest.

In the Tai River, one could occasionally see the figures of shrimp soldiers and crab generals.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were all monsters, but most of them had incomplete transformations, mostly retaining large parts of animal limbs, exuding a barbaric aura.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were different from those in the Dragon Palace, their equipment was very shabby, lacking complete armor and wielding ordinary weapons.

Their Essence Qi fluctuations were not strong, and they couldn't perceive the presence of the shadow paper figure.

Li Qing had been observing them for two days and had roughly figured out that these shrimp soldiers and crab generals seemed to be the roaming monsters of this section of the river.

These shrimp soldiers and crab generals were very cautious, mostly roaming the riverbed and not venturing to the surface, apparently constrained by some kind of restriction.

Li Qing possessed a shadow paper figure and silently followed a group of shrimp soldiers, heading in the direction they came from.

The river water was very dim, the Tai River was deep, reaching tens of meters, very profound, so its light transmission was not strong.

Following this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they had advanced about ten miles, and a vague shadow appeared ahead.

The shadow covered an area of at least thirty meters in diameter, and upon closer inspection, it was the outline of a building.

As the shrimp soldiers approached, Li Qing saw clearly what it was.

It was a water mansion, entirely constructed of rocks, not particularly magnificent, and even somewhat dilapidated.

But one could see groups of shrimp soldiers and crab generals coming in and out of the palace.

"Is this the Dragon Palace of the Tai River? Can't be, it's so poor?"

After some thought, Li Qing controlled the paper figure and quietly approached the palace.

The palace was adorned with many bright night pearls, providing a faint light source, and shadows were everywhere, making it very convenient for him to sneak in.

There were no prohibitions inside the palace, it was completely defenseless to him.

There were many shrimp soldiers and crab generals, and even some fish swimming in these palaces, looking very strange.

The deeper he went, the more he frowned, "It seems that this is not the Dragon Palace, it's likely the palace of water demons."

"But, can't the Dragon Palace of the Tai River control the entire Tai River?"

Li Qing's mind flashed with various speculations, and soon he arrived outside a huge palace.

His gaze fell on the top of the palace, where there was a plaque - "General Fenbo's Mansion".

"So it's the Fenbo General of the Tai River."

Inside, there was a sound of singing and dancing, and at the entrance of the palace, one could see the separation of water and air.

A strange light pervaded the grand hall, keeping all the water out.

Seeing this scene, Li Qing's eyes brightened slightly, "It seems that this is the main hall."

Hiding in a shadow, he looked into the grand hall. Inside, many bright night pearls were embedded, and a group of shell maidens were singing and dancing.
