Started out getting scumbags, but then invested in the invincible Empress.

Chapter 110 Dugu Baitian

"You damned bald monk, don't let me see you again!"

From within the mountain stream came the mournful cries of the green-haired turtle.

"What exactly does the phrase 'slaying inner demons before the Buddha' mean...?"

Not far away, Li Wudao sighed, completely lost in thought.

next moment,

He seemed to realize something, and looking annoyed, he said, "Damn it, I should have asked the fat monk for a ride!"

The boy was somewhat frustrated, wondering how long it would take to escape the Sword Ruins if things continued like this.

However, there was nothing that could be done. Unexpectedly, Lianchen had no ill intentions and left in such a hurry that there was no time to think about it.

........

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The green-haired tortoise carried Li Wudao on his journey, overcoming many obstacles and crossing a vast desert.

"Damn it, I'm finally out of here! This godforsaken place made me question my existence!"

The green-haired turtle spat out the yellow sand in its mouth in frustration, cursing under its breath.

Behind us, yellow sand swirled endlessly, the dust and wind never ceasing, stretching as far as the eye could see. Just looking at it made my scalp tingle, and it was no easy feat to make it out.

Immediately, it turned to look at the boy, a look of doubt flashing in its eyes, "That's strange, how come you're still alive and well?"

"........"

Immediately, Li Wudao's forehead was covered in black lines, and he said in a deep voice, "If you can't speak properly, then shut your mouth. Are you sick? Why are you cursing me to die every other day?"

"Hehe, just kidding, just trying to lighten the mood."

The green-haired tortoise chuckled awkwardly, then sheepishly walked forward, muttering to itself, "Why isn't this kid dead yet? It's such a waste that he's wasting his pure Yang holy blood..."

Behind him, Li Wudao's lips twitched slightly. He couldn't hold back any longer and went up to perform a sliding tackle.

Damn it, does this bastard really think he can't hear?

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, the green-haired turtle launched itself like a ball, flying hundreds of meters away.

"Damn it, you little brat, how could you hit me so hard? It hurts like hell!"

In the distance, the green-haired turtle shouted loudly.

Li Wudao ignored it, glanced at it sideways, and walked forward.

"Wait a minute, wait for me."

The green-haired turtle realized it had said the wrong thing, rolled its eyes, and followed closely behind.

After walking a few steps, cracks appeared in the ground, from which a ghostly blue light shot out, like hellfire burning, which was quite eerie.

Li Wudao carefully avoided the gaps and slowly pushed forward.

After walking about three miles, a patch of black land appeared ahead, dry and cracked, barren of vegetation, giving a sense of desolation and desolation.

"Whoosh-"

Suddenly, a gust of cold wind swept by, and the temperature dropped sharply, sending chills down my spine.

"This is......"

Li Wudao frowned and looked over, his expression changing slightly.

Not far away, he saw dozens of skeletons scattered on the black rocky ground, exposed to the elements in the wilderness, eerie and desolate.

"How can there be so many corpses? Is this place also a place of great misfortune?"

Li Wudao sensed something was wrong.

Upon closer inspection, one can vaguely discern that these are all human bones, well-preserved, shimmering with silver light. They were all top-tier experts in life!

"Jie Jie!"

Just then, a shrill scream came from the depths of that black soil, the sound of which sent chills down one's spine.

"Should we go any deeper? I have a feeling there's something terrifying inside..."

Li Wudao was completely distraught and hesitated to proceed.

At this moment, even the green-haired turtle became unsettled, hesitating as if weighing its options.

"Let's keep going. If we turn back now, we'll have to go through that desert again. I'm really fed up with eating sand."

Thinking of his miserable experience in the desert, the green-haired turtle made a decision.

Its legs are already short, and it has to swallow a mouthful of yellow sand every few steps, which is too torturous.

"Don't worry, if there is any danger later, I will summon the Heaven-Slaying Coffin immediately."

Hearing what the green-haired turtle said, Li Wudao had no choice but to nod.

Now that things have come to this, there is no better way. The Sword Ruins are full of dangers, and a slight mistake could lead to death. It would be difficult for him to get out alive on his own.

"Did you hear shouts?"

At this moment, Li Wudao stopped in his tracks with some doubt.

He vaguely heard a voice calling to him, completely different from those shrill screams, and there was an indescribable sense of resonance.

No, you must have misheard me.

The green-haired turtle shook its head and continued on its way.

"probably."

Li Wudao nodded thoughtfully, probably because he was tense and was hallucinating for a moment.

"Come here... come here..."

Suddenly, a jarring sound rang out, coming intermittently from the depths of the black soil.

Although faint, this time, both the man and the turtle heard it clearly!

"There really is a voice calling out, and... it sounds like a human's voice!"

The green-haired turtle was shocked and somewhat incredulous.

"What?! Are you sure it's not some evil spirit in disguise?!"

Li Wudao was stern and unable to calm down.

This question stumped the green-haired turtle, and it dared not give a definite answer.

"Chichi!"

Just then, a cold wind blew in, and the sky visibly darkened.

Immediately, the earth trembled violently, and endless black mist surged forth, spreading out in the blink of an eye.

There seems to be something in the black fog!

Li Wudao's face turned pale, and he vaguely saw some kind of creature being born out of thin air.

"Jie Jie Jie!"

With a shrill roar, strange monsters suddenly burst forth from the black mist.

At first glance, it has a human-like appearance, with a pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, thin arms that drag on the ground, and a completely black body, somewhat resembling a gorilla.

However, it seemed to have no physical form, with a ferocious face and its body shrouded in black mist. As it moved, it would occasionally turn into a cloud of black fog, making it extremely strange and elusive.

"Oh no, it's the 'Soul Devouring Demons'! The shrill sound we just heard came from them!"

The green-haired turtle's eyes changed slightly, and it took off running.

"Is this thing difficult to deal with?"

Seeing this, Li Wudao didn't dare to stop and kept asking questions as he ran.

"It's not just troublesome; if a powerful expert at the Emperor Realm is tainted by this thing, their three souls and seven spirits will be drained in no time, leaving them as an empty shell!"

The green-haired turtle spoke solemnly.

"what?!"

Li Wudao's face turned pale instantly. He ran for his life, leaving the green-haired turtle several streets behind.

"Damn it, I knew I shouldn't have told this kid. He ran faster than a rabbit!"

The green-haired turtle was dumbfounded. Turning its head, it saw that the Soul-Eating Demons were getting closer and closer, and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Think of a way, or we'll be caught up sooner or later."

Li Wudao urged.

He tried to attack with pure Yang sword intent, but the Soul-Devouring Demons in the black mist kept emerging, so the effect was minimal.

"What can I do? I'm desperate too!"

Behind them came the mournful howl of the green-haired turtle. Its four legs were almost smoking as it ran, but it still couldn't shake off the Soul-Eating Demons.

"If all else fails, let's get into the coffin and hide for a while."

Ultimately, the man and the tortoise, having no other choice, decided to resort to this desperate measure.

"Come...come this way...it's safe here..."

Suddenly, that familiar voice rang out again, though faint, it was clearer than ever.

"Who are you? Why should I believe you?"

Li Wudao frowned. The other party clearly knew his situation and was probably not to be underestimated.

However, the voice came from the depths of the eerie black soil, and with his life in danger, he dared not trust a stranger.

"Zhongzhou, Dugu... defeated the heavens..."

A quarter of an hour later, the voice slowly rang out, sounding aged and weak. The few words seemed to have exhausted all its strength.

Upon hearing this, Li Wudao looked bewildered.

There doesn't seem to be such a place in the Eastern Wilderness, nor have I ever heard of this name.

"Zhongzhou...Dugu...Could it be...?"

Just then, the green-haired turtle trembled and said with surprise and uncertainty:

"You're from the Dugu family, the one in the Central Plains Imperial Continent, the family that produced two emperors?!"
