Woo woo …
The mournful cries echoed throughout the mountains and plains, making anyone who heard them cry.
They saw a woman dressed as a man kneeling on the ground, crying in despair.
There were two people standing next to the woman, and they couldn't bear to see her in such pain.
"Miss, don't be like this. The Hegemon is already here. He will bring us back soon," Ryoei comforted her.
He hadn't thought that Ling Xiao would save Lie Ruyu at the last moment. This changed his impression of Ling Xiao. He sighed inwardly, "God is jealous of such a talent!"
"Uncle Yong, I want to take revenge. I want to take revenge for him. I want to kill all the members of the Bloodthirsty Roving Bandits. No … I want to kill all the Roving Bandits in the Chaotic Ridge. I want them all to die with him!" Lie Ruyu screamed with grief and indignation.
Ever since she was a child, she had never been so sad. She had never felt such heartache.
She was a flower in a greenhouse. She had to be protected at all times, allowing her to bloom beautifully.
However, after entering the Chaotic Ridge with Ling Xiao, she was taught a harsh lesson by Ling Xiao. From there, she learned more things. She knew that she couldn't act selfishly. She also needed to respect and cherish others.
These were things she had never experienced before. Moreover, he was the first person who dared to disobey her. He was also the first man who grabbed her breasts and spanked her butt.
In the beginning, she hated that he couldn't die. But now that he was dead, she hated that she couldn't die and let him live.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, he had left an indelible impression in her heart.
He was like a perverted thief. His eyes were always lecherous. He also acted like a rich young master, scaring people. But when he fought, he was super strong and had an evil charm.
She couldn't deny that she had a good impression of him. At the very least, he was the most independent man she had ever met.
However, he had blocked a fatal blow for her. She knew that her heart had been completely occupied by him.
"Miss, don't worry. This time, the old man is alarmed. No one here can live!" Ryoei guaranteed.
"I want to go back, I want to find his corpse!" Lie Ruyu stood up and summoned the Fire Phoenix, intending to return to where they came from.
Ryoei hurriedly stopped her and said, "Miss, don't be like this. If you go back now, you will die!"
"He can die for me, and I can die for him too!" Lie Ruyu said firmly.
Lie Xi said from the side, "Miss, that's true, but if you die, who will take revenge for him? We can't convince the Alliance Master!"
When Lie Ruyu heard this, she stopped moving. Her face was still covered in tears.
At this time, Lie Wudi and the people he brought with him finally arrived.
"Yu 'er, are you alright?" Lie Wudi saw his daughter from afar and immediately called out.
The next moment, he was already in front of Lie Ruyu.
When Lie Ruyu saw her father appear, she plunged into his arms and cried bitterly.
Lie Wudi patted his daughter's back with heartache and said, "Alright, alright. It's all over now. Let's go back!"
"Father, quickly bring people over and wipe out all the Roving Bandits here to take revenge for Ling Xiao. He was killed to save me!" Lie Ruyu said to her father.
"Don't worry, those people have already been killed!" Lie Wudi said.
"No … Father, I want to kill all the Roving Bandits here. I want them all to be buried with Ling Xiao!" Lie Ruyu said angrily.
Lie Wudi looked at his grieving daughter and sighed in his heart. He lightly patted the back of her neck and knocked her out.
It was not easy to kill all the Roving Bandits here. Although the Blazing Flame Merchants were powerful, it was not easy to do this. Moreover, the terrain here was very steep. Even if they could kill all the Roving Bandits, they would have to pay a huge price.
Lie Wudi would not make such a decision based on his daughter's selfishness.
"Alliance Leader, I suspect that there is a traitor in our merchant group!" Ryoei stepped forward and said to Lie Wudi.
Lie Wudi looked at Ryoei in surprise and immediately said with a stern look, "Mm, we'll talk about this when we get back. I will make them die without a burial place."
Immediately after, the Blazing Flame Merchants and the others left the Chaotic Ridge.
… …
On the shore of the surging river, a small boat bobbed up and down on the stormy water.
However, this kind of water, which was difficult for any martial artist below the Heavenly Venerable Stage to withstand, could not do anything to this small boat.
On the boat, there was a boatman wearing a cloak. He stood on the bow of the boat, constantly crashing against the waves.
However, just as the waves were about to hit him, there was an invisible force isolating the waves, preventing them from wetting his body or destroying the boat.
In the cabin behind the boatman, there was a slender figure. It was an extremely beautiful girl.
The girl looked to be only 18 or 19 years old. She had a delicate face, large eyes, and eyelashes that seemed to speak when they blinked. Her nose was bright and translucent, and her lips were sexy. Her facial features were a perfect match for a beauty. She was dressed plainly, but it still could not hide her natural beauty.
The girl caressed her hair and lightly opened her red lips to hum an unknown tune, adding a unique charm to the river.
"Hmm …" A muffled sound rang out in the cabin.
The girl stopped humming and exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa, come quickly, he … he actually woke up!"
The man wearing the cloak standing at the bow didn't move. He only responded softly, "Mm, when we reach the shore, send him up!"
"Grandpa, how can you be so heartless? He just woke up!" The girl rolled her eyes at the man in the cloak and said coquettishly.
"It's not that Grandpa is heartless, it's that you are too kind. We have already saved his life, so he is already very lucky!" The man replied.
"Hmph, be a good person to the end. We must wait for his injuries to heal before sending him ashore!" The girl pouted her sexy lips.
The man in the cloak sighed helplessly, but in his heart, he was thinking, This girl is too kind. I don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing!
The man lying in the cabin heard these words in his daze.
He wanted to open his eyes and sit up, but he found that he didn't have the slightest bit of strength, and there was a sharp pain in his head.
The man's hair was messy, and his clothes were wrinkled. He looked very down and out. He was Ling Xiao, who had just escaped death.
Now wasn't the time to think about where he was, but to find a way to find out where his worst injury was and heal it as soon as possible.
Ling Xiao wanted to operate his Dantian, but he was powerless. He couldn't feel it at all. He thought, "Oh no, could it be that my Dantian is broken?"
Ling Xiao was secretly anxious, but he immediately forced himself to calm down. He tried to sense the existence of his Divine Soul, only to find that his Divine Soul was extremely weak. It was almost destroyed, just like his physical body.
The Divine Soul and the Dantian depended on each other for survival. If the Divine Soul was destroyed, the person would die, but if the Dantian was destroyed, the person would be crippled. However, the Divine Soul and the Dantian formed a bridge of power, which was called the Divine Bridge, which could make him a Divine King!
Ling Xiao knew that only by repairing his Divine Soul would he be able to circulate his Dantian again, so he immediately relaxed.
If an ordinary person didn't have a miraculous pill to repair their soul, then it would be a big problem. Not only would their cultivation level drop, they might also become delirious, or even die.
However, Ling Xiao had the Soul Controlling Art, so he could use the Restoration Art to recover his Divine Soul.
At this moment, Ling Xiao suddenly felt his head being lifted up and placed on a soft place. A burst of fragrance assailed his nose, making him feel much more comfortable.
Immediately after, Ling Xiao heard a sleep-talking voice, "You're seriously injured. I'll feed you some spring water. I hope you can get better soon."
His mouth was gently opened, and a stream of clear spring water fell into his mouth. A vigorous life force began to nourish his body.
If it was in the past, Ling Xiao would definitely use this power to immediately repair his body.
However, his Dantian was unable to circulate, and his divine arts were equivalent to being crippled. He was unable to absorb this energy as much as he wanted, and could only allow it to slowly repair his body's muscles.
After a while, Ling Xiao felt much better, but from time to time, he would feel a sharp pain in his head.
If it wasn't for the fact that he had cultivated a divine art to protect his body and the Tree of Immortality in his consciousness, he would have died a long time ago. He was also rejoicing that he was lucky.
Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes and discovered that a pair of round and plump "Holy Maiden Peaks" were blocking his line of sight, and his high nose seemed to be only a line away from the "Holy Maiden Peaks".
He realized that he was in the arms of a woman, and his head was resting on her jade legs. No wonder there was a burst of intoxicating fragrance.
A pure, flawless, and enchanting face appeared in front of him. A pair of big eyes blinked non-stop as she looked at him and said, "You're awake. Do you feel better?"
Her voice was like the lingering of the heavens, and also like the low cry of a morning bird.
This kind of ethereal feeling made Ling Xiao feel unprecedentedly comfortable and carefree.
He grinned and said, "I … I'm much better. Many thanks … Many thanks to Miss for saving my life!"
"Hehe, it's nothing. You don't look like a bad person, so I saved you!" The young girl said with a faint smile.
Ling Xiao only felt that this girl's smile was like a hundred flowers blooming at the same time. It was incomparably beautiful, and he suddenly became dazed.
The young girl sensed Ling Xiao's abnormality, and a rosy color appeared on her pure white face. Only then did she remember that Ling Xiao was resting on her legs, and she hurriedly put him down.
Just like this, her body was slightly bent, and her full body was slightly pressed against Ling Xiao's face.
This kind of warm, fragrant, and soft feeling made Ling Xiao's heart and mind go into a mess.
However, he didn't dare to move recklessly. The girl in front of him was his benefactor, so how could he blaspheme her?
"May I ask where I am right now?" Ling Xiao avoided the young girl's gaze and asked.
"We are now on the boat. Me and grandfather are rushing back to the village. In one day, we can go ashore!" The young girl explained.
