Go Save Me, Sang Ying

Sang Ying crawled out of the ruins after the stone pillar collapsed. Below the platform, Ji Fucang and the others had already activated the Sword Qi Ball they had previously thrown under the seats when Sang Ying made her move.

This was created by the Sword Qi of Sang Ying and Fu Shuangjiang. After it exploded, it was not only extremely powerful, but it could also instantly freeze those cultivators who came into contact with the Sword Qi.

While their Sword Qi Ball wouldn't necessarily kill those people, they could at least temporarily disable them.

Those who escaped were immediately attacked by Sword Frost Cliff and Star-Forging Sect. They already knew about Sang Ying and the others' plan, so they hid from their seats when the Sword Qi Ball exploded.

"Ji Min! Are you determined to betray the Black Tortoise Realm and protect that outsider girl?!" Sect Master Wu was about to step forward again to deliver a fatal blow to Sang Ying.

Unexpectedly, Sect Master Ji suddenly appeared and stood in front of him.

The two exchanged blows several times, but neither could gain the upper hand. Originally, Sect Master Wu's cultivation was higher, but the attack from the Dragon Abyss Sword injured his internal organs, resulting in him now Sect Master Ji to a draw.

Sect Master Ji's eyes were cold as he stood firmly in front of him, blocking his path. "I'm not betraying the Black Tortoise Realm, I'm saving Black Tortoise Realm! Do you really think the disappearance of this beast tide has nothing to do with Sang Ying? If you really kill Sang Ying, then our Black Tortoise Realm is truly doomed!"

Others may not know, but he knows it very well.

The Black Tortoise Realm once committed atrocities in the Hidden Moon Forest, slaughtering numerous innocent Demon Beast, all in an effort to clear out the Hidden Moon Forest so they could search for the treasure that fell from the sky.

However, the treasure was not found, and the Hidden Moon Forest was turned into a sea of blood.

The cultivators didn't care about the lives of the Demon Beast and simply dumped the corpses of millions of Demon Beast in the forest. But strangely, after only a few days, the densely packed Demon Beast corpses in the forest suddenly disappeared!

At that time, everyone thought that the Hidden Moon Forest was devouring the corpses to nourish itself.

Who could have imagined that those innocent Demon Beast, slaughtered without cause, would reappear in another form hundreds of years later?

Sect Master Ji was fully aware of the massacre, but he did not intervene because he dared not confront the numerous sects. Therefore, when he realized the origin of the beast tide, his heart was consumed by guilt.

He knew very well that it was Sang Ying's appearance that dispelled the resentment of those Demon Beasts and eliminated the Demonic Qi that had been deliberately thrown into the Hidden Moon Forest. This Black Tortoise Realm was saved by her.

However, Sect Master Wu would never believe Sect Master Ji's words; in his view, it was just an excuse Sect Master Ji made for himself.

"Ha, how ridiculous! Are you trying to tell me that the life and death of the Black Tortoise Realm are already intertwined with that female cultivator?" If these words were to get out, not only Sect Master Wu, but probably all cultivators would find it laughable, and would also think that Sect Master Ji said these words, had gone mad.

Sect Master Ji said helplessly, "I know I can't persuade you, so I'm going to beat you into submission!"

"Subdue me?" Sect Master Wu scoffed. "I'm afraid you don't have that ability!"

Sect Master Wu lunged at Sect Master Ji again, but Sect Master Ji seemed oblivious to his fierce aura, silently drawing a long sword from his wide sleeve.

The dark longsword seemed to have no edge or blade; though called a sword, it looked more like a wooden stick with a handle.

But as soon as this seemingly ridiculous sword appeared, Sect Master Wu immediately tensed up, because he realized that Sect Master Ji was really going to get serious.

After all, who in the entire Black Tortoise Realm doesn't know that Ji Min, the sect master of Sword Frost Cliff, wields a black sword without an edge and has never been defeated in challenges against opponents of higher levels!

Sang Ying didn't care about the fight between the two. At this moment, she spat out the blood in her mouth and, taking advantage of the fact that no one came to attack, cut off one of the chains on Jiang Zhuoxue's feet.

"You don't actually need to do these things for me. I have a way to leave." Looking at Sang Ying's blood-stained dress, Jiang Zhuoxue tasted regret for the first time.

He should take the initiative to contact Sang Ying, even if it would expose his biggest secret, because Sang Ying wouldn't harm him.

But by the time Jiang Zhuoxue realized all this, it was already too late.

As they were talking, the last chain was broken, and Sang Ying immediately raised her sword and cut off the knife above her head.

The greatsword, sharp enough to sever Dragon Race's neck, shattered into small pieces under the power of the Dragon Abyss Sword.

This was the signal they had agreed upon beforehand; as soon as the blade shattered, Ji Fucang and the others would arrive at Sang Ying's side immediately.

But now, the signal has been sent out, and Sang Ying hasn't seen anyone coming this way.

She quickly realized from the chaotic scene that Dong Fuzhu and the other two had been captured by several powerful figures. Ji Fucang wanted to turn back to save his junior brothers and sisters, but he was unable to break free from the siege of a group of the Limitless Sect disciples.

Not only him, but also Jimo Qing and Fang Chi were trapped!

The ice and snow inside the Sword Qi Ball had already melted.

Jiang Zhuoxue followed Sang Ying's gaze and instantly understood their intentions. "You want to use the Teleportation Array to take me away? It's useless. I'm not Cang Lian, and this isn't a grand gathering of the Gong Household. Wu Renyao is too clever; he's gathered too many people. We can't escape, not even with the Teleportation Array."

"I said yes!" She turned to look at Jiang Zhuoxue, her gaze intense. "I don't believe in that nonsense about not being able to escape. I know I'm still alive, and they're still alive. So there must be a way to escape!"

Jiang Zhuoxue was stunned for a moment, feeling as if he had heard those words somewhere before.

Before he could retrieve the relevant images from his distant memories, someone appeared and interrupted his thoughts.

"Oh dear, it's been a long time! The little girl is still as stubborn as ever."

Two figures stepped onto the Dragon-Slaying Platform without anyone noticing, and Sang Ying immediately raised the Dragon Abyss Sword and aimed it at them.

"Oh dear, we're old friends, why are we turning against each other!" A handsome face was revealed beneath the wide black robe. Si Jing smiled warmly at Sang Ying, as if the more than ten years that had passed between them were but a fleeting moment.

The masked man who came with him completely ignored his antics, directly throwing out more than a dozen treasures from his sleeve, and then raising his hand to form a hand seal.

"Hurry up, don't dawdle!" the masked man urged.

Si Jing could only nod helplessly to Jiang Zhuoxue, and then did the same as his companion.

Dozens of mysterious treasures from various small worlds gathered together, frantically merging under the constantly changing hand gestures of the two. When Sang Ying blinked and looked again, a dark blue hole as tall as a person had appeared out of thin air in front of them.

"Master, hurry and go in! We can't hold out much longer!" Si Jing said in a low voice almost as soon as the hole was formed.

The veins on their bodies were bulging, as if they were under immense pressure.

Sang Ying didn't understand what they were talking about and was surprised by how Si Jing addressed Jiang Zhuoxue. So, was this also a powerful Teleportation Array? She couldn't guess.

The powerful figures below also realized Jiang Zhuoxue's intentions. They no longer had the mind to pay attention to Ji Fucang and the others. They immediately released the young cultivator they were holding and hurriedly flew towards the high platform.

Dozens of powerful figures rushed over. Seeing their murderous intent, Sang Ying gritted her teeth and held her sword horizontally in front of her.

"Sang Ying, do you know my past?" Jiang Zhuoxue's voice sounded somewhat ethereal at this moment.

Sang Ying was momentarily dazed by his words. Before she could figure out what he meant, her head was once again covered by that huge dragon tail.

"Sang Ying, go see the old me, go save the old me!"

Sang Ying's vision went black; she felt as if someone had pulled and pushed her. In front of her was the spectacular scene of powerful beings besieging the black dragon, and behind her was a deep and endless tunnel.

She blinked slowly, trying to get a closer look at Jiang Zhuoxue, who was bursting with power. However, the colorful Spiritual Qi filling the sky and his fully revealed black true form had already captured Sang Ying's attention.

The tunnel closed in front of her, and behind her lay a world from ten thousand years ago.

What Jiang Zhuoxue didn't tell Sang Ying was that Si Jing and the other person were both his clones. They traveled around searching for treasures in order to activate the formation that would take them back to the past and allow Jiang Zhuoxue to be redeemed from the source.

However, this plan changed completely the moment he met Sang Ying.
