"How could this happen..." Shen Shuoxia almost fainted.

Dugu Linqi quickly held her waist: "What's wrong?"

"That white light." Shen Shuoxia was already blind, but in the darkness, she could still see a dazzling white straight line dividing the darkness into two, "Don't look at it! That's the light of nuclear melting!"

"Nuclear melt?!" Dugu Linqi was shocked and turned pale.

How can there be nuclear meltdown in the south? Is Cang Yan using witchcraft again?

He quickly turned away, no longer looking at the white light, and planned to take Shen Shuoxia away from the place of right and wrong quickly.

Shen Shuoxia said: "The core melted and flew to the north."

"Someone is attacking the North with witchcraft?"

what happens?

Ever since he entered Hongwu Mountain, he felt that he was trapped in a huge conspiracy. There was a force hidden in the depths that was fueling the flames. Everything that happened in Hongwu Mountain was carefully arranged, including the appearance of the Blood Mountain God Jiao. , the warriors who came after hearing the news, and the tall tower that was revealed in vain.

"It seems so."

"It seems that the south is not to be outdone and has hired a wizard." Dugu Linqi thought, "We have to leave here. I heard Huangfu Qing say that the wizard who initiated the nuclear meltdown also suffered varying degrees of damage. This nuclear dissolution is so powerful that even the vicinity of Hongwu Mountain will be affected."

He had a complicated mood when he said this. He had traveled thousands of miles to come here just to see his hometown again, but now it was so far away that he couldn't see it again. No matter what, it was better to live than to become a walking zombie.

He stared at Duguyuan Mountain affectionately. The huge tower emitting dazzling white light was on the side of the mountain. Maybe he would have a chance to see his complete hometown after this nuclear meltdown was over.

"But it's a little strange... Since we are launching a nuclear meltdown, why didn't we see the troops sent by the royal family, but let these warriors enter the Red Mist Mountain..."

Dugu Linqi was confused.

Shen Shuoxia hesitated to speak. She moved her lips and then said with difficulty: "I have heard some rumors in the palace. It takes a lot of strength to activate powerful witchcraft."

"What do you mean by this..." Dugu Linqi suddenly realized, "These warriors are all sacrifices!"

"I'm afraid that's the case. If you ask me, it's very princess-like."

"Is Princess Qinglian really on this mountain?" Dugu Linqi stared blankly at the darkness in the distance.

The woman he killed at that time was not a princess. The real princess had already brought the wizard to the south. If we make a bold guess, the princess herself might be a wizard. She had lived in the north for a long time. It is not impossible to master witchcraft.

"The princess wants to take revenge on Cangyan." Shen Shuoxia said, "Cangyan ruined the princess's dynasty."

Dugu Linqi couldn't comment on the princess' behavior because he knew nothing about the situation there.

"Anyway, we have to leave as soon as possible." Dugu Linqi supported the blind Shen Shuoxia.

"What should Chen Jian and the others do?" Shen Shuoxia asked.

Dugu Linqi shook his head: "The purification potion can't stop the red mist. If we stay any longer, we will go crazy. Chen Jian is a smart man. He will definitely leave as soon as possible..."

For some reason, Dugu Linqi became less and less confident in speaking. He wanted to activate Wisdom Speech to guide him, but the red mist eroded his physical strength so obviously that he didn't even have much energy left to activate it. In order to prevent emergencies, he decided not to think anymore. Irrelevant things.

When the crowds were rushing towards the Tower of Babel, Dugu Linqi and Shen Shuoxia went in the opposite direction. They walked in the opposite direction and walked down the mountain. The Red Mist Mountain had been dyed hollow black by blood, and corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed everywhere. Piao Chu seems to be a reappearance of the massacre of the past, but it is more tragic than that massacre.

Dugu Linqi could feel that Shen Shuoxia's breathing became more and more rapid beside him. She must have recalled the massacre.

Having him by her side is a mental punishment for her.

Suddenly, a clear bird song passed through the sky.

Are there any animals here?

Dugu Linqi suddenly became alert, Shen Shuoxia also straightened her body, and she also noticed something strange at the same time.

Logically speaking, no animal can survive in Hongwu Mountain.

The birds chirp again.

Dugu Linqi looked around and saw a blurry carcass behind layers of thick fog, while the chirping bird was nowhere to be seen.

"It seems like someone is watching us." Dugu Linqi told Shen Shuoxia, "He blocked the way down the mountain."

"Dugu Linqi, that's right?"

It was a woman. Dugu Linqi could not think of anyone matching this voice.

"Who are you?"

She walked leisurely towards Dugu Linqi, stepping on the wet and bleeding soil with her bare feet, making a wet squeaking sound that made people feel terrified.

A fine dagger poked out from the red mist, as if passing a fan or a lighted lamp. The woman stretched out the dagger very slowly, making people feel no threat.

Dugu Linqi pulled Shen Shuoxia back half a step.

"Who are you?"

"You are also a member of the secret sect, right?" The other party's answer made him panic.

She gradually walked into the visual range. Dugu Linqi saw a strange-looking woman. She had a well-proportioned figure and regular facial features, but her skin was particularly terrifying. The skin had almost no color, only a faint milky white, and the skin was The blood vessels and internal organs are all clearly exposed. It seems that those organs are not fixed by muscles, but are tied together by invisible threads.

"Who are you……"

Dugu Linqi was convinced that he had never seen such a weirdo.

The woman smiled, opening her mouth like a skull: "It seems that you are not the Xuan Yue from before."

She knows about the secret religion.

Dugu Linqi calmly replied: "I have indeed succeeded the previous Xuan Yue."

"Where is he?"

"He disappeared, so Huaiyue asked me to become Xuanyue in his place."

"Huaiyue... I remember it's Huangfu Qing."

Dugu Linqi became more and more curious: How could she know so much about the personnel inside the secret sect?

He nodded and said, "It's Huangfu Qing."

"That's all." She said, "When the secret sect framed me, you were not one of them, and I have no intention of taking your life."

Dugu Linqi was in a daze for a moment. He hadn't heard the sound of Huangfu Qing's zither since just now, and the warriors who had killed each other because of the sound of the zither began to work together towards the Tower of Babel.

"You killed Huangfu Qing?"

The woman raised her eyebrows: "That's right."

"You...are taking revenge on the secret sect of the past? They made you look like this?"

"Ha," the woman laughed dryly, "You mean I have white skin?"

"...That's right."

"I've been like this since I was a child. But you are so leisurely and elegant that you are still chatting with me here."

"It's very safe here. The warriors are all heading towards the tower." Dugu Linqi gradually relaxed his vigilance.

This woman is indeed strange. She comes and goes without a trace. She may have mastered a secret technique that he doesn't know. However, she has no ill intentions towards him at all. She is like a passer-by who is far away from home. She talks about revenge, but her expression and tone are still different. There was no trace of anger in his breath, as if he was conveying these words to others.

Dugu Linqi had never heard of such a person in the world, and he wanted to know who this woman was.

"May I ask your name?"

"Dugu Linqi!" Shen Shuoxia warned him in a low voice not to approach the strange woman rashly.

"It's okay to tell you, my name is Bai Yao."

"Bai Yao..." Dugu Linqi felt that it sounded like a pseudonym, but no matter what, she was at least willing to give a name. "Are you planning to continue looking for people from the secret sect?"

"Huangfu Qing, Baoying, Zhang Huxi, Kui Liang, Hong Yan, Qian Xinghan. There are still a few left."

Dugu Linqi was frightened when he heard this. Baoying indeed had no means of self-defense. She relied entirely on her ability and intelligence to gain a place in the secret sect, but the remaining Huangfu Qing, Zhang Huxi, Hong Yan and Qian Xinghuan were all considered peerless masters. Huangfu Qing Needless to say, Zhang Huxi can suffocate those around him; Hong Yan's ability to manipulate stones is superb, and the emperor's assassination was his handiwork; Qian Xingxing is a pervert who pretends to be a beggar, and Dugu Linqi doesn't know his power, but he Its strength is obvious to all.

Bai Yao actually got rid of them all.

"There are still Zheng Duanfu, Jian Meng, Shen Ya, Ji Xiaoyu...Xique Yi."

"She doesn't know about Xiqueyi." Dugu Linqi said quickly, "She is of the same generation as me."

Bai Yao smiled and was noncommittal.

"And Shen Ya, she...has always regarded herself as a doctor." Dugu Linqi suddenly hesitated.

And he has never heard of other names, which are probably the real names of Xingyue, Tuyue and Xiangyue.

"Don't lie to yourself." Bai Yao said, "Shen Ya can heal wounds, and she can also make them aggravate and expand. As long as she uses a needle to make a small wound, she can cause the deceased to suffer as much pain as being cut by an axe. .As for Xique Yi, I want to confirm it myself." Having said this, Bai Yao suddenly looked to the sky, which was the direction of the tower.

"Looking at white light will make you blind." Dugu Linqi reminded her.

Bai Yao glanced at him and then at Shen Shuoxia: "I see, but it's not necessary."

"It's not necessary? How can I say this?"

Dugu Linqi couldn't think of anything to do with the previous conversation.

"You go away, while you can live a little longer."

"what for?"

He couldn't understand it more and more.

Bai Yao raised his head and stared at the white light in the sky with colorless eyes.

After a long time, she smiled.
