From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

His face was full of helplessness.

But for some reason, she quite enjoyed the feeling of being hugged by her friends.

warmth!

Ignoring the two, Jiang Liu took the iron rod from his back, slung it over his shoulder, walked towards the woman in white, and asked, "Was it you who orchestrated the twisting of Xiaoqian's will and possession of the Fairy Lolita?"

Without the aid of the spiritual realm, the Black Mountain Demon cannot manifest its consciousness; at least it should not have had that ability before the upheaval in the Black Mountain.

Although the spiritual realm was His backup plan, He could not forcibly erase the self-awareness of the Black Woman and the White Woman before their consciousness and lives were completely erased.

unless--

Among the black-and-white ladies, some sided with Xiaoqian.

It can only be a white lady.

Without him.

Jiang Liu had learned about the woman's personality when they first met: she was naive and immature.

The White Lady's Words—

When Jiang Liu first met her, he was fighting Zheng Zha and was killed by him...

Therefore, he didn't know much about her.

And the young woman was also slightly surprised by the white woman's resurrection...

Therefore, the White Lady's resurrection is abnormal.

"Yes."

The woman in white took a step back, but then remembered that she had been controlled by Nie Xiaoqian before. She pursed her lips and told Jiang Liu the truth, "But she lied to me!"

After the White Lady's explanation, Jiang Liu finally understood that Ning Caichen had taken away the Qin King's Bone-Illuminating Mirror, preventing Nie Xiaoqian from going out, but he was still able to contact her through the spiritual realm within the White Lady's heart.

After that, she continued to stay in contact with the White Lady:

After Ning Caichen went to Daheishan with Shaoyao, he returned to the houses in the southern area... Shaoyao's "ascension"... Yan Chixia was able to sense the radiance of the spiritual realm and inscribe talisman beads, etc.

It was all because the White Lady secretly contacted and arranged things with Nie Xiaoqian. Otherwise, how could Yan Chixia, who was neither a Taoist nor a monk and knew nothing about talismans, have possibly comprehended anything through the spiritual realm of her and the Black Lady?

This is because Nie Xiaoqian once made a promise to Bai Nulang.

If the white woman agrees to help her gain freedom, she and the black woman will be given bodies that allow them to move freely in the outside world, and their independent consciousness and safety will be guaranteed.

"You agreed."

Jiang Liu tucked the iron rod back behind his back and stared directly at the woman in white.

“I have no choice… Daheishan is her true form. The reason she didn’t erase my and my sister’s consciousness is simply because it occupied Nie Luoli’s soul shell. The memories and emotions within it make it have a little bit of affection and patience for us.”

The woman in white trembled all over. Even though "Nie Xiaoqian" wasn't there at the moment, it still made her tremble, as if she was afraid that the other party would appear at any time and erase her.

After a long while, she calmed down slightly and asked Jiang Liu, "Will you kill me?"

"I'm your sister's friend!"

Jiang Liu smiled, making his stance clear: "If I kill you, we can no longer be friends."

"But because of me, her plan succeeded, and it caused the deaths of so many of your comrades." The woman in white lowered her head as she looked at the soldiers on the mountain of knives.

"Partners? No, you're overthinking it, they aren't."

"On the contrary, we are much more relieved now that they are dead."

Hearing Jiang Liu's words from not far away, Zhang Zhiwei's eyelids twitched, his lips twitched, and he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped himself.

After all, Jiang Liu was right!

Furthermore.

The 20,000 troops that led to the death of the smiling tiger—

It seems that Zhang Zhiwei was also involved?

# Chapter 390 The Way Out

Understand the cause and the effect.

Jiang Liu then asked the woman in white, "So, can you tell me how to leave this place now?"

"no way."

But the woman in white rejected the idea of ​​leaving on her own, saying, "If I had been sober before, I might have been able to take you away."

It sensed something the moment my sister and I were knocked back to our senses.

I can no longer sense any coordinates left in the outside world...

It blocked all exit routes and distorted the surrounding space.

This is also why Jiang Liu asked the White Lady.

Before this, it was possible to travel through the light spots in Lu Jin and Hong Guniang's ancestral apertures using the Qiankun Mo Nong technique.

However, the space within this "hell" is now severely distorted, and the aura is constantly shifting...

Although they have already lost their "past," so it doesn't matter how unpredictable the flow of energy is, the direction of the energy does indeed affect skills such as spatial teleportation.

Therefore, it is best to avoid teleportation if possible, otherwise there is a chance that the body will split or become distorted during the teleportation process.

However, the ability of "Tai Xu Huan Jing" can still be used, allowing for real-time communication with Lu Jin, Hong Gu Niang, and others.

Actually.

Jiang Liu has another way to get out.

That is, to let the Earth Goddess Houtu completely control this hell of knives and fire!

She is both the deity of the six internal organs sealed by Jiang Liu and the radiance of the spiritual realm of the earth. It is not difficult for her to regain control of "Hell". However, when the Earth Goddess Hou Tu forms a close connection with this place, it may cause her to be tainted by the five poisons, six desires and seven emotions left here.

As a last resort, Jiang Liu was unwilling to let another "self" take the risk.

"There are actually ways to get out."

Just when everyone was at a loss, the woman in black suddenly said, "And there are two of them."

"Which two?"

"The first method is to swim through fire and climb over mountains of knives to reach the top, where you can naturally get out."

The woman in black pointed to the sea of ​​fire and mountain of knives ahead and said, "As long as we keep going up, we'll eventually get out."

This is a stupid approach.

But it's worth mentioning.

However, Jiang Liu still wanted to hear about the second method first.

"The remaining method is to defeat my 'mother' once."

turn out to be--

Ever since Nie Xiaoqian used the radiance of the Earth's spiritual realm to replace the radiance of the Heaven's spiritual realm within the Black Mountain and took control of it, thus overthrowing the Black Mountain, she has been sitting in the Heavenly Palace. By using the effect of the radiance of the Heaven's spiritual realm, she has manifested the pure consciousness originally within the "Heavenly Palace" to the outside world, and by using the external yang and internal yin energy pattern of the outside world, she created this hell of knives and fire.

That's right!

This hell of knives and fire was temporarily created based on the natural energy of the area where Beiguo County is located.

Why go through all this trouble for nothing?

At the moment when Nanwu Temple overlapped with reality and Daheishan collapsed, Jiang Liu used the power of space to disrupt the universe of ghosts, causing the little girl whose soul was about to dissipate to sense the traces of the spiritual realm of the earth. Using the effect of the spiritual realm, she pulled it out, handed it to Jiang Liu, and told him how to control it.

If this unforeseen event had not occurred, when the ghost realm moved to this place where yang energy gives rise to yin energy, it could have even allowed the entire ghost realm to directly overlap with reality!

Furthermore, within the range of Qi, the beings in the Ghost Realm can also possess bodies indistinguishable from living people!

But human calculations... can't compare to the calculations of Heaven. Due to the disappearance of the spiritual realm's radiance, nearly a third of the ghost realm's accumulation over nearly a thousand years was lost, returning to the natural world.

Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian had to stay at the place where Yang gives rise to Yin, which is the top of Hell Mountain where Jiang Liu and the others are currently located.

By harnessing the radiance of the spiritual realm of heaven and combining it with the external energy field, the lingering yin energy, ghosts, and even the terrain are gathered to form this hell of knives and fire. Ghosts swim clockwise within the sea of ​​fire, pushing the magma to swirl around the mountain of knives. The resulting blood-red steam and mist surrounding the mountain of knives can nurture those swords, thus forming a special magnetic field that further gathers yin energy and spirits that have traveled to the Beiguo County area.

To this end, Nie Xiaoqian even changed the portal through which other living beings entered the Ghost Realm. Anyone who entered the Ghost Realm, or any other living being, would be transported to a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire. Before their bodies were completely burned, their souls could not escape and would suffer endless pain.

This ensures that the spirit is confused and will not possess much intelligence before finally falling into the sea of ​​fire and turning into a ghost.

Those with low intelligence will not think of escaping, but will only follow the other ghosts and monsters and keep swimming forward!

The scorching heat of the fire will not harm the souls of ghosts, but it can inflict unparalleled pain on them. Only by constantly moving can they alleviate the pain in their souls.

However, all of this requires Nie Xiaoqian's personal and constant control, and there can be no carelessness, otherwise the prosperity of the "Heavenly Palace" cannot be guaranteed.

and so!

If someone outside can defeat Nie Xiaoqian even once, causing her to malfunction, they will be able to seize that fleeting opportunity to escape "Hell".

"Then let's try this second method first."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Liu made the final decision. Using his spiritual light of sincerity, he contacted Lu Jin and Hong Guniang, informing them of their predicament: "We are currently trapped inside the Golden Bell of the Yellow-Eyebrowed King, unbearably hot and stuffy. We need your help!"

"Have you contacted Lu Jin?" Zhang Zhiwei marveled at the convenience of Jiang Liu's ability, but also asked, "Are you just waiting for Lu Jin and the others to come and rescue us?"

"Wait for them."

Jiang Liu reassured her, "Nie Xiaoqian, having taken over the soul shell, is not only ambitious and eager to establish a true Heavenly Court, but she also probably yearns for freedom."

He plotted for nearly a thousand years, yet he still ended up 'imprisoned'.

If freedom were unattainable, everything would be fine, but He had experienced freedom, and this can be analyzed by examining Nie Xiaoqian's various flamboyant, even playful, attitudes and behaviors during their battle with us on Black Mountain—

Either that's just his nature, humorous and quirky.

Or perhaps, after many years, He finally acquired a body suitable for roaming the Black Mountain, like a wild dog released from its cage, running wild with abandon.

Logically speaking, the Black Mountain Demon is certainly not someone who cultivates his mind and character, so Zhang Zhiwei tends to believe the second possibility mentioned by Jiang Liu.

However, judging from the behavior of the Black Woman and the White Woman, Zhang Zhiwei had a strange urge to lean towards the first possibility.

Therefore, Zhang Zhiwei chose to compromise between the two possibilities, but—

Are we just supposed to wait?
