"Master, where is this Poison Hands Devil, Ouyang Lun, staying now?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"This person has enemies all over the world, and no one knows where he stays." Dongfang Minmie said, "However, I happen to know.
Furthermore, I saved his life once. "
"Poison Hands Devil is so powerful, and yet someone killed him?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"That person didn't kill him. He only tortured him to the point where he couldn't live or die."
Dongfang Niemie said, "He cut open all of Ouyang Lun's flesh and poured boiling lava into it. Then, he covered his body. After the lava solidified, it completely grew in his flesh.
Furthermore, he cut open his blood vessels and poured in the blood of the Fiery Berserk Snake before sewing his blood vessels back together.
You will never be able to imagine that a person could be tortured like this. This is even more perverted than the cruelest torture in the world. Just one look at him and you will have nightmares for the rest of your life. "
Immediately, Yang Dingtian shuddered when he heard this.
Poison Hands Devil was such a terrifying person, yet he was tortured so miserably.
"Master, who is this person? Why are his methods so evil and vicious?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"This person is the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood's Temple Master, Dugu Xiao," Dongfang Minmie said indifferently.
Instantly, Yang Dingtian's body shuddered.
Dugu Xiao was so evil and vicious. No wonder he gave birth to a daughter like Dugu Fengwu.
"Ouyang Lun was originally a handsome man, but when I saw him, he no longer looked human. His entire body was swollen and deformed, crawling forward like a black maggot. Because the fire poison was torturing him, he wanted to crawl to the Netherworld Swamp to lessen the pain.
However, he was still over a thousand miles away from the Netherworld Swamp, and he wouldn't be able to crawl there even if he died.
I saved his life and gave him an elixir before bringing him to the center of the Netherworld Swamp. After that, he was like a loach and lived in the swamp, "Dongfang Minmie said.
"Then he lives in the center of the Netherworld Swamp?" Yang Dingtian asked, "How far is that place from the Cloud Heaven City?"
Yang Dingtian knew about the Netherworld Swamp.
The entire swamp stretched for thousands of miles, and there were muddy ponds and puddles everywhere. Danger lurked everywhere.
The sky above the swamp was densely covered with toxic smog. Even during the day, there wasn't a hint of sunlight. It was as dark and gloomy as the night. It was basically a forbidden zone for life.
No one went there, not even animals or demonic beasts lived there. Only a monster like Poison Hands Devil could survive there.
This place was more than three thousand miles away from Cloud Sky City, at the end of the neutral zone's chaotic lands.
Beyond the Netherworld Swamp was the domain of Evil ways.
Therefore, this Netherworld Swamp also became a natural dividing line. No one could take half a step across the lightning pool.
If Yang Dingtian wanted to head to the Temple of Blood, he would have to pass through the Netherworld Swamp.
"Child, do you still want to go to the Temple of Blood?" Dongfang Minmie asked.
*****
Yang Dingtian went to see Madam Ximen.
"Madame, I need a drop of Martial Uncle Ximen's blood." Yang Dingtian said.
Madam Ximen was slightly startled before she nodded. "Okay, I'll go get it now."
Although she was a little surprised as to why Yang Dingtian wanted Ximen Wuya's blood, she didn't ask and just nodded.
Immediately after, she got someone to escort her to Cloud Sky City to get a drop of Ximen Wuya's blood.
Then, Yang Dingtian went to Ningning's room.
"Sister Ningning, let me see your Deep Sea Mystic Poison," Yang Dingtian said.
"What's there to see?" Ningning said with a red face.
Yang Dingtian said seriously, "Let me see."
Seeing Yang Dingtian's seriousness, Ningning rolled her eyes at him. "Okay, but don't shout."
Then, Ningning stood up with great effort and lifted her pants slightly.
"Ah …" Although he was mentally prepared, Yang Dingtian still cried out in surprise.
Her calves and most of her thighs were already a demonic green, like bamboo.
This was the Deep Sea Mystic Poison.
Moreover, the Deep Sea Mystic Poison was slowly rising.
Once it rose to the Sea of Qi, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Why didn't you tell me that the Deep Sea Mystic Poison was still rising and spreading?" Yang Dingtian said angrily.
Ningning said gently, "I'm sorry. It's my fault."
"How long more before it reaches the Sea of Qi?" Yang Dingtian asked.
"About ten days …" Ningning said.
"Once it reaches the Sea of Qi, what will happen?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Ximen Ningning shook her head. He didn't know if it was because she didn't know or because she didn't want to say.
Originally, Yang Dingtian was still a little hesitant about going to the Temple of Blood. Now, he didn't need to hesitate anymore. He had to go.
Not only did he have to save Yanyan, but he also had to save Ximen Ningning.
"Ningning, give me some blood with the Deep Sea Mystic Poison," Yang Dingtian said.
"Okay." Ningning took out a white jade straw and was about to prick her leg to take the blood.
"Don't take the blood from your leg," Yang Dingtian hurriedly said. "I want to give this to another man."
After saying that, Yang Dingtian felt embarrassed. Was he that possessive?
After Ningning heard that, her face turned red. She rolled her eyes at Yang Dingtian and sat down. She sucked a small tube of green blood from the soles of her feet.
After a little hesitation, she sucked another tube and placed it in a small ice jade box. She handed it to Yang Dingtian.
"Little Tian, can you tell me now what you want to do?" Ximen Ningning asked.
"I want to go to the Temple of Blood and enter the Blood Pool to break through," Yang Dingtian said.
Ningning was stunned. She revealed a horrified expression and said, "Little Tian, are you crazy … No, I won't let you go. I definitely won't let you go!"
Yang Dingtian didn't say anything. He just looked at her quietly, expressing his absolute will.
Ningning's face was sorrowful as tears fell.
The two of them fell into a deep silence.
Ningning raised her head and looked at Yang Dingtian. "Little Tian, you must go, right?
No one can stop you, right? "
Yang Dingtian nodded solemnly.
"But the Temple of Blood is the most evil place in the world. Dugu Xiao, that great devil, even Foster Father is afraid of him," Ningning said.
Yang Dingtian said, "I will first find Poison Hands Devil, Ouyang Lun. He once successfully entered the Blood Pool to cultivate. Moreover, he should have the Myriad Poison Devil Snake."
"You fool. Poison Hands Devil, that pervert, is also very dangerous," Ningning said.
Yang Dingtian fell into silence again.
"I will go with you," Ningning said.
"Not this time."
Yang Dingtian said, "I know you have been closing your eyes to regulate your breathing recently, suppressing the restless Deep Sea Xuan Poison.
If you travel with me, your life will be in danger.
Therefore, I must go alone this time. "
"Must?" Ningning asked with her eyes wide open.
"Must!" Yang Dingtian said.
Ningning fell into silence. She only lowered her head and shed tears, not saying a word.
She took a deep breath as if she had made a decision.
Then, she circulated her mystic qi and saw a snow-white mist seeping out from her fingertips. Then, something that made Yang Dingtian even more surprised happened.
A pendant slowly took shape on her chest. A beautiful pendant hung from a snow-white chain. It was a transparent tear-shaped gemstone. It was sparkling and translucent, pure and moving, and emitted a mysterious aura.
Ningning took the pendant off her neck and stared at it for a moment before putting it on Yang Dingtian's neck.
Then, under Yang Dingtian's astonished gaze, the pendant gradually turned invisible and disappeared into the air.
"Little Tian, once your life is in danger, extend your hand to touch the pendant and circulate your mystic qi to make the tear-shaped pendant appear. This way, whether it is Poison Hands Devil or Temple of Blood Master Dugu Xiao, they will most likely not kill you."
Ningning said gently, "However, you must only make it appear when your life is in danger. Otherwise, don't let anyone see it. Remember, anyone, including people we trust. Otherwise, it will bring us endless trouble. I'm afraid there won't be any place for the two of us to hide in this world."
Yang Dingtian immediately gasped in astonishment. What exactly was this pendant to have such power?
Instantly, Ximen Ningning's identity became even more mysterious in Yang Dingtian's eyes.
"Is this a teardrop?" Yang Dingtian asked.
Ningning nodded and said, "This is a gemstone condensed from a teardrop.
Once it appears, it will set off perilous waves in the world. Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, you must not let it appear. "
Yang Dingtian took a deep breath and said, "Can I not wear it?
This item must be very important to you. It's best that it doesn't leave your body. "
"No, you must wear it. Otherwise, let me go with you."
Ximen Ningning said gently but resolutely, "You can return it to me after you return safely."
"You said that I will return the Deep Sea Xuan Clothes to you after I successfully hunt for demon cores. However, I am still wearing it now," Yang Dingtian said.
"That's different." Ningning said, "I don't fight. The Deep Sea Xuan Clothes are useless to me."
Then, Ningning raised her voice and said, "Little Tian, remember, once your life is in danger, you must make the tear-shaped pendant appear.
I know that you will definitely say that you would rather die than use it. Let me tell you, if you die, regardless of whether this tear-shaped pendant appears or not, this world will be turned upside down. Do you understand?
When your life is in danger, you must use it. Don't let Big Sister worry about you. "
Yang Dingtian nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."
*****
Four hours later, Madam Ximen returned with a vial of Ximen Wuya's blood.
Yang Dingtian told Madam Ximen and Ximen Lie about his intentions. The two immediately tried to stop him, but Yang Dingtian was very firm. In the end, under Ximen Ningning's persuasion, the two reluctantly allowed Yang Dingtian to go find Poison Hands Devil. However, they were still very worried.
With Ningning's superb skills, Yang Dingtian disguised himself as a robust man. He did not resemble Yang Dingtian at all.
Then, he put on the Black Blood Cavalry's armor and mixed in with the troops, leaving Black Blood Castle.
Under the protection of ten Great Mystic Martial Master Black Blood Cavalry brothers, Yang Dingtian rode towards the Netherworld Swamp, towards the Temple of Ten Thousand Blood.
This trip might really be a dead end, a dead end with nine deaths and one life.
