The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!

Lin Rushan was unaware of Gu Xin's unbearable suffering.

Because he himself had also fallen into a strange space.

The mountains and the sea are still there, but they look so fake. The landscape I saw before has changed, turning into ink, as if it were painted with splashed ink.

This is like trespassing into someone else's painting world! Lin Rushan's understanding is far superior to Gu Xin's, and he immediately retreated.

But he couldn't get out either.

While the art world didn't completely overwhelm and spread to the level of Gu Xin, it did have a different kind of limiting power over him.

The inky black seawater surged out from all sides like waves crashing in, causing the small hill in front of it to collapse completely, as if a giant were pouring down a whole bottle of ink.

It was completely surrounded by thick ink from all sides, leaving no room to break through.

Lin Rushan summoned a bone jade Law Treasure to protect himself, then chose a direction and rushed out.

The ink instantly darkened the light of his Law Treasure.

Surprisingly, there was no aggression, but rather a pulling motion.

It seemed to become incredibly heavy, pulling him and his Law Treasure artifact downwards, plunging him straight into the sea.

Lin Rushan was terrified, knowing that once he was really pulled in, he would be completely submerged, which would be equivalent to being suffocated to death by the art world, leaving no trace of his body!

He lived up to his reputation as a powerful being of the Radiant Sun, realizing that this realm was not a truly solidified and formed powerful plane. Although he could not break through this special feature, he could still tear it apart by brute force.

So he unleashed a Sleeve Arrow and spat out a mouthful of his own blood on it. Instantly, the sea of ink surged, and a powerful aura of bloodlust burst forth, tearing a small hole in the Sky Curtain.

Lin Rushan struggled to break through the encirclement, barely managing to stick half of his body out of the opening.

Breathing in the fresh air... and seeing the green mountains and clear waters outside, Lin Rushan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that you're out.

Then a little girl in green ran over, wielding a huge calligraphy brush bigger than herself, and slapped it across his face with a "whoosh": "Die!"

"Smack!"

The ink covered his face, blending with the ink of the painting world. The wound that Lin Rushan had finally managed to open was covered up, and he was pulled back into the painting world.

The thick ink on his face was impossible to remove, like Tarsal Bone Maggots, pressing him tightly into the sea of ink.

"Help... Ah..."

A scream was heard, then silence.

Li Qingjun stood on the mountaintop, completely dumbfounded.

She couldn't understand it at all. From her perspective, Lin Rushan first barged in, then ran around like a headless fly, followed by Gu Xin, who then desperately flew towards the mountain wall. She had no idea what he was doing.

Then, countless rays of blood inexplicably appeared on Gu Xin's body, leaving him covered in blood with not a single unscathed piece of flesh. Even his screams grew fainter and fainter until they were completely inaudible.

Lin Rushan wandered around for a long time, as if he were being chased and fled by something unseen. Then he suddenly passed through the leaves, and the little girl in green slapped ink all over his face. Lin Rushan screamed and was pulled to the bottom of the tree. His eyes rolled back as if he was suffocating, and he inexplicably fell silent.

It's like watching two madmen perform a one-man show, ultimately destroying themselves.

From the perspective of an uninformed bystander, and given that they could only see the mountain without directly viewing the paintings and calligraphy, this was even more mysterious than what they had seen in the Blood Nether Realm, and more sinister than any witchcraft.

Li Qingjun could sense that this was a strange form of isolation; the deaths of these two were so difficult for outsiders to predict that they were from another dimension. It was similar to how, within the Blood Nether Realm, even the many powerful figures outside couldn't perceive the situation inside.

To kill without a trace and without any repercussions is truly a terrifying method.

Turning to look at the woman, he saw that she remained quiet and serene, untouched by worldly concerns, exuding the air of a transcendent Fairy.

This extreme contrast...

Li Qingjun took a deep breath and whispered, "Senior..."

"Hmm?" Ju Yunxiu glanced at her sideways and said, "What, do you think I went too far?"

"No, that's not it..." Li Qingjun knew that if such a fierce-looking person barged in, ordinary Rogue Cultivator would be killed here and have nowhere to seek justice. They would have dug their own way into someone else's "array" and deserved to die. Besides, this was a life-saving grace, which was very satisfying. She would not be like Gu Xin, who was ungrateful.

However... this person was too strong and unpredictable, so she did become a little wary. Logically speaking, there was no reason for such a person to save Qin Yi so kindly. She was really afraid that this person was hiding some unpredictable thoughts.

Li Qingjun hesitated for a moment, then said, "I will forever be grateful for your kindness in saving me, Qing Jun... Now that my Husband is safe and sound, I intend to take him back to Sword Pavilion to recuperate..."

"My Husband..." Upon hearing these words, Ju Yunxiu's eyes involuntarily flashed with murderous intent.

Li Qingjun was on high alert.

"Ahem." Ju Yunxiu coughed twice, turning her head away from her. "You'd better not move him, otherwise it might aggravate his injuries. Just let him lie there peacefully. You can leave on your own... ahem, you're actually quite tired too. If you don't mind the simple place, you can stay here... Don't look at me with that wary expression. If I wanted to harm you, would you be able to hide?"

Li Qingjun knew that the gap between her and the other party was quite large; if the other party really wanted to harm her, she would have been finished long ago. So she simply calmed down, cupped her hands, and said, "Then I'll trouble you."

A little girl in green turned around and timidly tugged at her sleeve. "Elder Sister, over here."

Seeing the little girl's adorable appearance, Li Qingjun felt a little more relaxed. She followed her around the corner and saw a guest room.

Strange, there were no guest rooms before, it was just a standalone wooden house, how did it suddenly get an expansion?

This place is truly eerie in every way.

She tentatively asked the little girl, "What is your master's name?"

The little girl blinked her big eyes. "Last night she said if she stayed up late again she'd be a pig. And then she stayed up late again."

Li Qingjun was stunned for a moment. "Are you saying your master is a pig?"

You're doomed, little sister.

Just as I was thinking this, I saw the little girl being grabbed by an unseen giant hand. Soon after, the sound of the little girl being beaten and the woman's curses could be heard from the main house, "You talk nonsense to everyone you meet, nonsense, nonsense!"

"I don't know how to say your name!"

"Then don't say anything! Go and dispose of those two bastard corpses outside, make it clean."

Li Qingjun: "..."

Li Qingjun entered the guest room weakly and lay down on the hard couch. She was extremely exhausted but could not close her eyes. Her mind was in turmoil.

This place gave her a very strange feeling; it seemed both gentle and harmless, yet also eerie and dangerous. It seemed to have goodwill, but also a strange hostility and rejection, all of which were inexplicable.

Thinking that Qin Yi was still in the main house, lying on this person's bed, the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt. Was he still lacking in experience in the martial arts world and too trusting of others?

After tossing and turning for most of the day, I finally couldn't stay in bed any longer and got up to go to the main house.

Over there Ju Yunxiu reprimanded Qing Cha and sent her to make tea. She then sat down next to Qin Yi and gently touched the wound on his chest.

That was the wound inflicted by Qiongqi's claw; the Myriad Demons Magic Robe had been ripped open and was currently healing itself, albeit slowly. Looking through the hole, a clear purplish-blue bruise with dark red tinged was visible on Qin Yi's chest. This showed that Qin Yi's Bone Forging Realm cultivation was quite advanced; otherwise, his bones might have been broken.

This was Qin Yi's most serious injury. Without protective clothing, he could have truly died, which angered Cheng Cheng.

The protective magic robe and his own strong Martial Cultivation physique saved his life, but they also exhausted his last bit of potential, which was the main reason for his current coma. However, at the last moment Qin Yi took the most suitable medicine, which is already taking effect, and there's not much else anyone can do but recuperate.

Otherwise, Ju Yunxiu's knowledge in this area might not be much better than Li Qingjun's; she simply has a superior understanding and insight in cultivation...

The injury has been treated and is not serious, but it still pains her to see it.

"Always so hardworking, always working so hard for everyone... You're such an idiot." Ju Yunxiu muttered to herself, "I was just trying to avoid you for a bit, but with two vixens with you, how could I possibly see you! It's just a little hiding! Do you really want me to never see you again?"

He paused for a moment, then sighed softly, "I can't blame you... This journey has made me realize how dangerous the world is, and even I have become much more ruthless... Many times, you have no choice but to take risks... let alone someone like you..."

"You risked your life just like that for me back then."

As she spoke, looking at Qin Yi's familiar sleeping face, Ju Yunxiu became even more aroused and couldn't help but lower her head and kiss him.

Their lips barely touched, then the door creaked open, and Li Qingjun pushed it open, her eyes wide. "Senior! What are you doing?!"
