Douluo Continent: Transmigrated into Tang San's Younger Sister and Became a God with Two Martia

Chapter 186 Mysterious Woman

In the blink of an eye, Tang Nian was suddenly enveloped in mist, and for a moment, Tang Nian's eyes seemed to be covered, and she could not see anything clearly.

A gentle breeze blew by, and Tang Nian smelled a ghostly fragrance. For some reason, Tang Nian could clearly feel the coldness of the ground beneath her feet, which revealed an eerie and silent atmosphere.

Tang Nian didn't know how much time had passed, but the fog gradually dissipated, and she saw a woman standing on the bridge. The woman was wearing a red business suit, and there was a strange black line on her face, running from the top of her head to the depths of her neck, hidden in her collar.

Tang Nian looked at the young woman who had suddenly appeared with a wary expression. In this unfamiliar place, she couldn't lower her guard.

She reached out her hand, but Tang Nian could clearly sense that she still couldn't release her soul skills. This was indeed a strange place. However, after Tang Hao's long period of special training, Tang Nian was no longer a simple soul master who could only rely on soul skills and soul power.

Even without being able to use his soul skills, Tang Nian was confident that he could give the woman in front of him a try.

As soon as Tang Nian's gaze fell on her, the woman's lips curled up in a strange way. In just a few moments, she was in front of Tang Nian, and Tang Nian didn't even see her move clearly.

By the time they realized what was happening, the woman was already right in front of them, and the ghostly fragrance emanating from her was even stronger.

The woman's lips curved into a perfect smile, and she said in a detached voice, "Please come with me."

Tang Nian's guard did not lessen in the slightest. She frowned and slowly asked, "Who are you? Isn't this the City of Slaughter?"

Tang Nian had barely finished speaking when the woman scoffed, saying, "The Slaughter City? That kind of place doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as us!"

After a pause, the woman's voice was very faint, as if it drifted from afar, and she said, "This is the Road to the Underworld, the Bridge of Helplessness."

Tang Nian's eyes widened slightly. Sure enough, she had guessed correctly. Indeed, the only place with so many spider lilies was this Road of Death.

The woman looked at Tang Nian stiffly and said, "Your only choice now is to come with me. No one who enters here can leave on their own. The only consequence of running around is that their bones are never recovered."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman waved her hand, and Tang Nian saw a scene appear in front of her. It was a middle-aged man who exuded a strange aura. Even though he wasn't in front of her, Tang Nian could still sense that this man was an extremely powerful being.

But in the next instant, the man fell into a patch of spider lilies. At first, he could be seen struggling to stand up, but gradually he was submerged by the spider lilies, with only his hands sticking out.

Perhaps the man sensed that danger was getting closer and closer, because he struggled more violently, but no matter how hard he struggled, it was all in vain.

He was quickly submerged and disappeared without a trace. The scene flashed by, and the red spider lilies bloomed even more enchantingly, with drops of bright red blood falling from the flowers.

Tang Nian instantly realized where the bright red blood came from; it was probably from the middle-aged man from earlier.

Tang Nian clearly understood that the woman was warning her. She currently had no soul power, and even if she could fight the woman with her own strength, she did not know the woman's true strength.

Without being 100% certain, Tang Nian didn't want to risk a lose-lose situation.

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle. Tang Nian nodded and ultimately chose to feign compliance. Seeing Tang Nian's appearance, the woman nodded in satisfaction, turned around and walked in front of Tang Nian, slowly saying, "Stay close to me."

After saying this, the woman began to walk slowly forward. She actually walked straight into the red spider lily bushes. Tang Nian had clearly seen what had just happened; the man had been swallowed up by the red spider lilies.

But when the woman stepped into the field of spider lilies, the flowers made way for her, ensuring that the two of them could pass through safely.

Tang Nian's expression gradually became serious. For some reason, she clearly felt that the spider lilies around her were very active, and at this moment, her second martial soul, the spider lily, seemed to be activated as well. If Tang Nian hadn't suppressed it, her martial soul would probably have run out on its own by now.

The woman turned around, glanced at the spider lilies beside her, and said inexplicably, "Feel the power they bring you."

This sentence left Tang Nian completely confused.

After walking for a long time, Tang Nian could no longer see the Yellow Springs Road and the Bridge of Helplessness behind her, but she saw a tall building instead.

The black castle stands on the barren plain, like an ancient behemoth, its body eroded by time, yet its majesty remains undiminished.

The castle is built of black stone, and in the sunlight, the surface of the stones reflects light like a mirror, making it difficult to look directly at.

The towering city walls are covered with moss, and tiny plants stubbornly grow out of the cracks in the stones. The castle gates are tightly closed, and intricate patterns are carved on them, with dragons and snakes coiled and mythical beasts vying for supremacy.

On either side of the city gate, stone guardian statues seem ready to rise from the dead at any moment, their cold gazes scrutinizing everyone who tries to approach the castle.

A chilly wind blew by, carrying fallen leaves that wandered in the shadows of the castle.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

The sky in the distance was overcast, and thick clouds lowered the horizon, as if a heavy rain was about to fall. In this atmosphere, the castle seemed even more mysterious and inviolable.

Suddenly, the silence was broken by the cawing of crows. Several crows took flight from the roof of the castle, flapping their black wings, and disappeared into the overcast sky.

The castle seemed to tremble as they flew away, as if some power had been awakened.

Occasionally, a faint red light would peek through the castle windows, illuminating the withered branches and fallen leaves beside it, adding an eerie and frightening touch to the desolate environment. As the red light flickered, it seemed as if a dark shadow would flit past behind the window, or as if a malevolent spirit was wandering in the night, searching for something.

Tang Nian stood behind the woman, and the eeriness of the place made her feel terrified.

The woman seemed completely unaffected by the strange building before her, and slowly walked over. The castle gate, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened as she entered.

Tang Nian frowned, but ultimately chose to follow the woman into the castle.

Inside the castle, somber light filters through the hanging iron chandeliers, casting dappled shadows.

The entire castle reeked of blood, a pungent, fishy smell that made Tang Nian feel nauseous.
