Letian glanced at Cui Yiyi and saw that his face was pale and his beautiful eyes were full of worry and fear. He felt a pain in his heart and said, "Don't worry, Miss, we will definitely get you to Shady City safely!" ""
""Uncle Lotte, I'm fine. ""
Cui Yiyi raised her face and smiled, but the smile was a little forced. After all, she was just an eleven or twelve-year-old girl. To encounter such a sudden change was like going through a life and death. How could she not be afraid in her heart.
After a while, she said again: "Brother Cheng, it's not an option for you to carry Sister Qingyi on your back all the time. There is a lot of space on my chariot, so why not let her lie in it." ""
Cheng Ling hesitated for a while and finally agreed.
After Qingyi was placed, Lecai ordered sternly: "" Without further ado, let's set off! ""
The next moment, everyone took advantage of the bloody night to run quickly.
Along the way, everyone in the team's attitude towards Cheng Ling quietly changed. They no longer rejected and ignored him, but truly regarded him as a member of their side.
Think about it, that is the famous assassin Phantom in the Netherworld. If it were not for Cheng Ling this time, the young lady would probably be doomed.
Of course, no one would believe that Cheng Ling was strong enough to avoid Phantom's assassination, but regarded it as a kind of luck. After all, they all clearly realized that Cheng Ling's strength was about the same as them.
""Why not choose to fly in the air? ""
Cheng Ling noticed the change in everyone's attitude towards him, so he took the initiative to inquire.
""This is the Bloody Basin, a ferocious place in the Netherworld. The heaven and earth here are densely covered with countless small void turbulences, which are extremely difficult to detect. Once involved, the consequences will be disastrous. ""
A guard patiently answered: "Not only that, it is rumored that the Bloody Basin is a place where ghosts gather. The aura is so fierce that ordinary creatures rarely dare to step into it. If it is not to avoid being chased this time, We will not choose to travel here."
Cheng Ling suddenly realized and suddenly asked: "If I want to go to the Netherworld, how should I get there?"
The guard was startled, with a strange look on his face, and said, "We are going to the Netherworld. All you have to do is follow us."
"Haha, lucky boy, you are with the right person this time. An ordinary person, no matter how powerful he is, would not be able to get even half a step closer to the Netherworld." Another guard suddenly laughed.
Cheng Ling said in surprise: "Are you all from the underworld?"
The guard seemed to realize something, and immediately shut up. He glanced at Letian with some anxiety. Seeing that the other party did not mean to blame, he was secretly relieved, but he did not dare to talk nonsense anymore.
When Cheng Ling saw this, he couldn't help but touch his nose and asked no more questions.
"Brother Cheng, don't be angry. Uncle Letian and the others are all trying to protect me."
Cui Yiyi opened the curtain of the bronze chariot and revealed a childish little face, "Perhaps you don't know yet, but I am a descendant of the Cui family in the underworld of the underworld. Some changes happened in my family, so I had to hide many things. Please forgive me."
Cheng Ling asked in confusion: "Cui family?"
Cui Yiyi nodded and said: "Yes, it is the Cui family who is in charge of the Criminal Law Department of the Netherworld."
Cheng Ling was stunned, thinking of the rumored "Judge Cui" from another world, and murmured in his heart, it couldn't be such a coincidence! However, he was keenly aware that when Cui Yiyi reported this name, the eyes of all the guards, including Letian, were all focused on him, as if to see how he would react.
This is really strange. Does the Criminal Law Department play a decisive role in the Netherworld just like the Six Dao Department?
His reaction was calm with a hint of doubt, and everyone seemed to relax a lot when they saw this.
"Then...who is chasing you?" Cheng Ling asked.
Cui Huayi was stunned, and her expression suddenly turned dark, with a hint of melancholy and pain that could not be concealed.
Seeing this, Cheng Ling quickly comforted him: "Okay, don't be sad, I won't ask."
Cui Yiyi shook his head and said, "You will know sooner or later."
She took a deep breath and her expression became much calmer, "The people who are chasing me this time are our Cui family members. They don't want to let me go back and are afraid that I will take over my father's position, so they obstructed me in every possible way along the way and even sent out Many forces want to kill me on the road."
"However, they don't know at all. I have never thought about taking over any position. If they are willing, I can even give it up. As long as everyone does not kill each other and can live in harmony, I will be happy."
When Cheng Ling heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. It was another intrigue and intrigue within the family. This kind of strife seemed to be happening everywhere.
For the sake of power, wealth, and status, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to become enemies and relatives to turn against each other. Although examples like Cui Yiyi are very common, they are not uncommon.
Cheng Ling pondered for a long time and then said seriously to Cui Yiyi, "Miss Cui, blind hesitation and weakness will only make things worse. If you can't bear to see everyone fighting with each other, you must first become stronger yourself until everyone Everyone needs to look up to you, and then this kind of dispute will be eliminated."
Cui Yiyi was in a daze for a long time, shook her head and said: "Unfortunately, it's too late..." After saying that, she lowered the curtain and sat alone in the bronze chariot.
Seeing this, Cheng Ling couldn't help but feel pity for this kind and innocent girl. At such a young age, she was involved in a deceitful and bloody family battle. Facing those relatives and friends who turned against each other, she felt certain in her heart. Is it painful?
"Brother Cheng, after arriving at Shady City, you should leave."
At this time, Letian leaned over again and said in a deep voice, "This muddy water is too dangerous. If you are with us, you are bound to encounter too many disturbances."
The voice was low and sincere, clearly speaking from the heart.
Cheng Ling pondered for a while, then shrugged and said helplessly: "I have offended that phantom, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape again, so I'd better follow you."
Letian was startled and didn't know what to say. Finally he sighed and said, "I'm really sorry. It's us who have dragged you down."
"It doesn't matter. I'm lost here and don't know where to go. I'd rather face the threat of the phantom." Cheng Ling said calmly.
Seeing this, Letian couldn't help but sigh again.
In this way, Cheng Ling followed them for more than half a month. During this period, Qingyi's condition gradually improved, but she still couldn't wake up.
Cheng Ling secretly worried that if he fell into a coma like this, he didn't know when he would end. Moreover, when he entered the Blood Dry Basin, it would be more difficult to absorb the power of life. Without enough vitality, Qingyi's condition would deteriorate again.
Cui Yiyi saw the scene in front of her and said, "Brother Cheng, it seems that Sister Qingyi was not only injured physically, but her soul must have also been injured."
Cheng Ling was silent, Ji Xuan once said that Qingyi's soul was missing, but he didn't know what the situation was.
Cui Yiyi said: "It seems that you insist on going to Shady City because of sister Qingyi. Maybe only the magic doctor with ghost hands can save her."
Cheng Ling's heart moved and he asked, "The magic doctor with ghost hands?"
"Yes, he is the most powerful doctor in the Netherworld, but he has a very weird temper. As long as he comes to seek medical treatment, he will ignore him unless he can bring out a treasure that impresses him."
Cheng Ling took a deep breath. If it was said that he went to the Netherworld just to find a way back to the fairy world, now, there is another reason. Shady City must be entered!
After advancing for more than ten days, the scenery in front of us changed. This is a plain, the earth is all scorched earth, blood red, endless as far as the eye can see.
It was dusk at this time, and the dim purple sun was quietly submerged in the clouds. Only the cold and cold wind howled in the bloody wasteland, and there was a dead silence.
Lotte looked at the sky and ordered to set up camp and rest in place. The guards began to move in an orderly manner. Cheng Ling came to the chariot and began to meditate cross-legged.
No one spoke, and the atmosphere seemed a bit dull.
This situation has been going on for nearly a month. Since the last time she was assassinated by the Phantom, Cui Yiyi has been staying on the bronze chariot. Except for occasionally speaking a few words with Cheng Ling, she has never come down again.
After Lotte tried to persuade Cheng Ling to leave several times to no avail, he stopped trying and started trekking on his way.
What puzzled them was that they encountered no blockers or sneak attacks along the way. Those who were chasing them seemed to have evaporated out of thin air, which looked extremely strange.
However, Lotte knows very well that its opponents will definitely not give up. Perhaps the opponent's forbearance was just to choose the best time to completely wipe out his group!
"We have reached the edge of the Bloody Basin. In three days, we can enter the Shady City. If those damn things want to take action, they will probably choose these days, right?"
Letian frowned and pondered for a long time, and his heart became heavier. He glanced at everyone and said in a deep voice: "Everyone should be more vigilant tonight. If anything happens, remember to protect the young lady as soon as possible."
The other guards also understood the importance and nodded solemnly.
Only Cheng Ling, as calm as a sculpture, seizes the time to practice.
"This kid doesn't miss any time to practice. Unfortunately, his level is too low after all, and he is still too weak no matter how hard he practices..." Letian glanced at Cheng Ling and sighed secretly in his heart.
He knew very well that the reason why Cheng Ling refused to leave again and again may be because he also wanted to go to the Netherworld, but the most important thing was because of the woman in the carriage, or to help them.
He was very grateful for Cheng Ling's intention. After all, people like Cheng Ling were too rare in today's world.
But Letian also knew very well that Cheng Ling was still too young and his cultivation level was too low. It was a good thing to act chivalrously, but he was not strong enough. Not only could he not be of much help, but he would become a burden to himself and others.
Just imagine, if he were in danger, would you save him or not?
The answer is obvious, we must be saved!
Just look at the last time he saved the young lady's life from the Phantom. Even though it was just luck, it was still enough to make him grateful. If something unexpected happened to him, how could he not save her?
"If we can reach Shady City safely, we must give this boy a generous gift so that he can help him seek help from the ghost-hand doctor to treat the woman's injuries."
Letian secretly made a decision in his heart. In his opinion, Cheng Ling is still very young, full of passion and justice. Although such a person may seem stupid to most people, he is the most worthy of respect.
