Chapter 146: Flame Palace
In front of the gate of Yanhuo Palace, at the foot of the jade-white steps, seven or eight third-level wind-chasing wolves were brutally gnawing on a dozen corpses.
The blood flowing from the corpse dyed the Wind-Chasing Wolf's mouth red, and even its sharp teeth were dyed red. The excess blood dripped onto the ground, gathering into a bright red stream, flowing in the direction of Lin Xia and Ling Cang.
The number of corpses was far greater than the number of Wind-Chasing Wolves, so these Wind-Chasing Wolves did not fight each other because of uneven distribution or not being able to eat.
However, under the stimulation of blood, the ferocity of the Wind-Chasing Wolf has been fully aroused.
Sensitively smelling a scent different from that of human monks' blood, seven or eight Wind-Chasing Wolves raised their heads at the same time and turned towards the direction where Lin Xia and Ling Cang were standing, with red murderous light in their eyes, looking visibly terrifying and hideous.
Lin Xia was so shocked by this extremely bloody scene that she almost vomited, and Ling Cang's expression became extremely ugly.
At this moment, Lin Xia truly realized the cruelty that Senior Chen had mentioned. These cultivators from other continents were truly cruel and even inhumane.
There is no doubt that these dozen monks must have died at the hands of monks from other continents.
Knowing that piling up the corpses of these monks in front of the gate of Yanhuo Palace would attract bloodthirsty monsters, he still did it so unscrupulously. It was obvious that he did it to establish his authority and to scare other monks away from entering Yanhuo Palace.
Just when Lin Xia was extremely angry, a wind-chasing wolf that was obviously stronger and more powerful gave up the confrontation with Lin Xia and Ling Cang. While the spiritual power of the cultivator had not yet dissipated, it lowered its head and continued to gnaw on the corpse of the cultivator at its feet. The head of the corpse was pushed towards Lin Xia by the wind-chasing wolf's front paws, and it turned to be a familiar face.
Lin Xia still remembered how brilliant that face had once been, showing the greatest kindness to her, but now it was ashen and faded, allowing the monsters to devour it at will.
She was a female cultivator named Ji. She had visited Lin Xia's stall many times and bought several bottles of elixirs. She also reminded Lin Xia to be careful of the tidal whirlpools in the eastern sea area when the tide was high.
Seeing this, Lin Xia couldn't bear it any longer. He took out his magic sword and rushed out. He killed a Wind-Chasing Wolf in three or five strokes. The other Wind-Chasing Wolves didn't care about eating the corpses on the ground anymore and rushed towards Lin Xia together.
Two of them were chopped to death by Lin Xia, and the rest were pierced through the bodies by Ling Cang's ice blades.
Even without the annoying Wind-Chasing Wolf, the scene in front of him was still very bloody. Lin Xia couldn't bear to watch it any longer, so he simply used his spiritual power, set a fire, and turned everything into ashes.
This is better than suffering an innocent death and being tortured by monsters.
……
The commotion outside the Yanhuo Palace was quite loud, but no cultivator came out to check. I don’t know if it was because they were too confident or for something else.
The gate was open, but it was foggy and the scene inside the palace was vague and almost nothing could be seen clearly. However, there seemed to be something very attractive deep in the palace, which made people want to step into the palace and find out.
The spiritual sense could not penetrate, but no danger was sensed either. Lin Xia took Ling Cang and stepped directly onto the jade-white steps, and entered the Yanhuo Palace smoothly.
As soon as one foot stepped over the threshold, Lin Xia couldn't help but widen her eyes.
The scene inside the hall was something Lin Xia had never expected.
The entire Yanhuo Palace is almost a large illusion array, composed of many small illusion arrays, one inside another. Stepping in is equivalent to entering the large array. Lin Xia looked back and saw a mist behind him. Ling Cang's figure had disappeared.
And those cultivators from other continents who were originally seen by other cultivators as showing off their power and killing innocent people have all fallen into the illusion created by the magic array.
In the small illusion array closest to Lin Xia, there was a male cultivator trapped. No one knew what he was going through. Because of Lin Xia's entry, he was momentarily sober, but soon fell into it again. The male cultivator's face looked very ugly, but he could not escape the current situation.
Lin Xia tried to call Ling Cang in her spiritual consciousness, but received no response. It seemed that this illusion array was not ordinary and would even restrict the spiritual consciousness of the cultivators. After all, back in Bilan City, in the formation forest in the backyard of the headquarters of the Qianyuan Continent Formation Master Association, Lin Xia could still communicate with Xiaochu and the others in the Qinglin space through her spiritual consciousness.
However, before Lin Xia had time to think too much, her head sank and she fell into an illusion.
In a small courtyard in Tai'an City.
Lin Xia rubbed her swollen head and sat up. Her body had become heavier in recent days. The little guy was making a lot of noise in her belly, and she guessed that he was anxious to come out.
Sensing movement inside the room, the door was gently pushed open, and Ruyi walked in with a bright smile, "Madam, are you awake? Are you feeling better?"
Without waiting for Lin Xia's response, Ruyi stared at Lin Xia's belly again and spoke to herself, "Daddy's dear baby, don't bother your mother anymore, otherwise, when you come out, daddy will beat you up."
Lin Xia couldn't help but force a laugh. Is this how her husband usually laughs? She felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. "Husband, don't talk nonsense. Be careful, the child won't be close to you in the future."
The pregnancy period passed quickly with Ruyi's meticulous care and Lin Xia's practice, and soon it was the day for Lin Xia to give birth.
Monks have spiritual power to protect their bodies, so childbirth will not be too painful. However, if the little one in the belly has too good aptitude for cultivation, it will cause great harm to the mother, especially at the time of birth, as the little one will absorb all of the mother's spiritual power to replenish its own spiritual roots.
Fortunately, the little one in her belly seemed to be very considerate of Lin Xia and was born peacefully on a rainy day without causing much torture to Lin Xia.
Looking at Ruyi in the room with her daughter in her arms, who seemed to be doing fine, Lin Xia felt uncomfortable no matter how she looked at her. She didn't know why.
Just as Lin Xia was lost in thought, Ruyi's cheerful voice came over, "How about we just call her Ruzhu? It's like a pearl, like a treasure."
Wait, why was her daughter called "Ruzhu"? It was like a bolt of lightning struck Lin Xia's head. Lin Xia immediately woke up and put a wake-up talisman on her body.
This illusion array is so powerful that it can even confuse the cultivator's cognition. He almost got tricked.
Lin Xia shook her head, trying to get rid of the messy illusion in her head, but she couldn't help laughing. Ruyi, with her extraordinary temperament, was it possible for her to act like the one in the illusion. She felt so guilty for bringing trouble to Ruyi.
Calming down, Lin Xia quickly found the center of this small illusion array and successfully entered the next illusion array.
Yes, the next illusion, after this illusion, there are other illusions.
After passing through nine small illusion arrays in a row, Lin Xia finally saw the entire palace clearly.
In the center of the palace, a golden suona was suspended in the air, expressing its sorrow with its unique, rough and very sad tone.
