The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1374 - 1387: Evil King Pursues His Wife (6)

Chapter 1374: Chapter 1387: Evil King Pursues His Wife (6)

Fu Qianzhong held a strand of lifebound spiritual energy given by his master, specifically for communicating with the artifact spirit.

The Binding Immortal Rope at the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff belongs to the spiritual artifact of the founding ancestor, and it is said to have once subdued the Divine Dragon and Colorful Phoenix.

After the ancestor ascended to the Upper Realm, the Binding Immortal Rope was left behind, becoming the Beast Taming Sect’s treasured artifact. It served specifically to awe and protect the existence of the Beast Taming Sect.

Additionally, before the Heavenly Ladder broke, the artifact spirit could still communicate with the already ascended ancestor.

It is precisely because of this artifact that the Beast Taming Sect, known for not being adept at fighting, could remain as the last of the Four Great Sects on the Shen Zhou Continent without being pushed out.

It was after the mysterious emergence of a hurricane’s might at the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff that, for the sake of caution, the Binding Immortal Rope was placed to suppress it.

For countless years, nothing had ever gone wrong. Why today, however...?

Fu Qianzhong felt a vague anxiety, pinching a formula with his fingers, sweat pouring from his forehead.

No matter how many formulas he pinched to summon, there was no response from the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff.

Looking down, it was pitch black, seemingly bottomless.

Shui Linglong said, "Senior brother, have you noticed, it seems... it seems you can’t feel the hurricane at all..."

"Nothing will happen down there, will it?"

Prompted by Shui Linglong, Fu Qianzhong also noticed the issue.

Eighty years ago, it was he who personally sent Su Li to this place.

Recalling the scene from that day, it was vastly different from the current tranquility.

Although the hurricane was at the bottom of the cliff, it wouldn’t cause much harm to those on the cliff top. However, its great power could be felt from the scattered energy at the cliff edge, easily affecting disciples with low cultivation.

But now they had stood here for quite a while, and the bottom was silent, eerily tranquil...

Fu Qianzhong slapped his forehead and quickly pulled Shui Linglong back, "Not good, something must have gone wrong down there."

"Quickly notify the Sect Leader about this matter..."

Shui Linglong seemed worried and said, "What about Su Li?"

Su Li, who was irritated and exasperated by the procrastination above, stood up with a swish, kicked off with her toes, and flew straight upwards.

By the time they come down themselves, who knows how long it will take. After wasting so much time, she still had to take the initiative herself, so annoying.

"We should head back first. If the artifact spirit can’t be contacted, there must be a significant change that we can’t handle."

If he had come alone today, Fu Qianzhong felt he would have gone down to investigate.

But with Linglong here, he wouldn’t dare to take her down to risk anything.

That Yunli Mountain was able to keep Linglong safe and sound. He felt he shouldn’t do any worse than that.

Yet, Shui Linglong was unwilling to just leave like this. The string in her mind tensed, sending waves of numbness and unease fermenting rapidly in her heart.

That person always remained a thorn in her heart. The emotions that had been suppressed started to surface after hearing from her father that she turned out to be Shen Zhou Continent’s slim chance of survival, reaching their peak of fear now...

She suddenly regretted her earlier softness...

Lishan was right in saying that any threat should be nipped in the bud for true peace of mind.

At that time, she was simply proud, sneering at the lowly status of that person, disdaining any quarrels.

But now, she regretted not uprooting her completely then...

Thinking of this, a ruthless glint flashed in Shui Linglong’s eyes.

Now it’s too late to say these things... Who knows whether that woman is still alive.

She only feared that person might have gained some heavenly fortune amidst the peril, managing to escape with her life...

In recent years, the more she pocketed the fortunes meant for that person one by one, the more astonishing the person’s fortune seemed to her.

Luckily, she was rendered useless before she could emerge. Otherwise, with so much fortune, no wonder she could become the first mortal woman to ascend.

Luck is a mysterious thing, hard to articulate clearly.

Shui Linglong bit her lip, and with an unwilling glance towards the bottom of Lingfeng Mountain Cliff, she was about to nod in agreement.

"Since you’ve come, none of you shall leave."

A wind suddenly arose, conveying words laced with an evil aura into the ears of Fu Qianzhong and Shui Linglong.

A voice, ethereal and elusive, yet seemingly near, brought a hint of familiarity... For a moment, Fu Qianzhong and Shui Linglong couldn’t recall where they had heard it before.

Suddenly, Shui Linglong’s pupils shrank, her eyes widening to their fullest. Tremblingly, she whispered, "It’s, it’s her..."

In her past life, after dying tragically, Shui Linglong had witnessed this person’s entire life.

If initially, she had poured all her resentment upon her, filled with bitterness, it slowly transformed into fear and dread as that woman steadfastly and resolutely climbed through dangers, achieving supreme Great Power.

Simply because this woman was ruthless to others and even more ruthless to herself.

These emotions, buried deep in her heart, couldn’t be shaken off despite being reborn.

Even if she is still weak now... This was the real reason Shui Linglong avoided confronting this woman directly.

It wasn’t because she let go...

Lishan was right, she shouldn’t have been so weak.

Yet Yunli Mountain had once said: No worries, even if you always act this way, I’m here for you...

At the time, she found it sweet, but now, Shui Linglong almost wanted to slap herself to death for feeling that way then.

"Who, who is she?" Fu Qianzhong tensed all over, his sword drawn, ready for battle.

"Who might you be, this place is the forbidden ground of my Beast Taming Sect...."

As Fu Qianzhong spoke, he secretly pinched a spiritual formula, quickly transmitting the message.

He continued to guard against ambushes from hidden enemies, only relaxing a bit after the spiritual formula was successfully sent, feeling more confident as he spoke, "Senior, the Sect Leader will be here shortly. Trespassing our sect’s forbidden grounds, regardless of the reason, is utterly unacceptable without an explanation."

Shui Linglong couldn’t help but tug at Fu Qianzhong’s sleeve and shouted, "Stop talking, she is Su Li."

As soon as Shui Linglong’s words fell, a swirling rain of flower petals began to rise from the cliff bottom.

The pink petals floating in the air rendered the cliff top dreamlike and illusory.

Yet within this beauty lay hidden murderous intent.

A soft petal floated in front of Fu Qianzhong. Seemingly ordinary, it was overlooked until it landed on his shoulder, cutting a deep gash into his clothing.

The vestment robe he wore today was bestowed by the Sect Leader, made from silk spun by the Heavenly Silk Worm, incomparably tough and infused with spiritual resonance, capable of absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy for defense.

But such a precious robe was easily damaged by contact with a single petal, shocking Fu Qianzhong to the core.
