You'll Regret It Sooner or Later

Sang Ying's wicker basket was very sturdy, and coupled with her current strength, she pulled Yue Tianze out in no time.

Upon being rescued, Yue Tianze collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.

Sang Ying originally wanted to take him back to the cabin first, since it wasn't safe outside.

But Yue Tianze waved his hand at her, panting heavily, "I can't go on, I can't walk anymore, I can't even talk."

Although Sang Ying's wicker basket was very sturdy, Yue Tianze still subconsciously gripped the wicker rope tightly, using up all the last bit of strength he had.

"I can tell you're no ordinary person to have made it this far, so why are you so weak?" Sang Ying looked the man up and down, finding him increasingly strange.

He was wrapped in thick animal hides, with no part of his wrists or ankles exposed. Even though he was covered in mud from falling into the trap, he showed no intention of removing the dirty hides, even though it was only summer in this world and the weather was still hot.

Yue Tianze gave her a weak smile, "This is a long story. Why don't we talk about it at your place after I've rested?"

Sang Ying could tell that this person had come for her sake, but she didn't understand his purpose.

Fortunately, Yue Tianze wasn't really a cripple. After catching his breath, he got up and slowly followed Sang Ying back to the wooden house.

However, he had a difficult journey, panting heavily, which made Sang Ying worry that he might faint on the spot when they got back to the wooden house.

Fortunately, Yue Tianze simply plopped down at the wooden table in the courtyard and rested for a while.

"I wonder who you are, and where you come from? What brings you here today?" Sang Ying poured the man a glass of warm water.

She no longer had Storage Bag, and even the cups for serving guests were made of bamboo.

Yue Tianze didn't care about these things. Having been in this world for so long, he knew that the resources here were not abundant.

Yue Tianze took a sip of water, finally recovering. "I came to this world before you. Before that, I lived with the Beastmen of the Ming Deer Clan. A couple of days ago, wasn't there a little girl who kept coming to look for you? That was from the Ming Deer Clan; she's the one who found you."

He avoided Sang Ying's question and steered the conversation in a casual manner.

"I came to this world by accident, and I've stayed here for a long time. I'm also certain that there's no way to leave. If you want to leave, I think you're going to be disappointed," Yue Tianze continued tentatively.

Sang Ying frowned; she hadn't expected Yue Tianze to be so blunt.

She pursed her lips. "I understand. If there's nothing else, please leave, fellow Daoist."

Yue Tianze didn't move. "Have you ever thought about joining the Calling Deer Tribe? You may not know, but the climate in this world is very strange. Sometimes it's scorching hot one day, and the next day it might be snowing heavily and blocking the mountains. At that time, if you're alone in the outside world without a tribe, you'll encounter many dangers, and you might not even survive."

That's how he was at first. He wanted to survive on his own, but firstly, his health was completely ruined, and secondly, the climate here was so abnormal that it could freeze a person to death in the winter.

Yue Tianze was caught off guard, but just then the Ming Deer Clan extended an olive branch to him, Yue Tianze immediately accepted, and that's how he has lived with the Ming Deer Clan ever since.

Sang Ying was unaware of his past experiences and didn't pay much attention to his mention of the climate. "You don't need to worry about that, fellow Daoist. Although the Spiritual Qi here is insufficient, I can still absorb some."

Upon hearing this, Yue Tianze suddenly looked up, his eyes brighter than ever before.

Sang Ying was puzzled by his gaze and wondered if she had said something wrong that offended him.

Is something wrong?

Yue Tianze asked nervously, "Is there Spiritual Qi here?"

Even more nervous than him was Sang Ying: "Can't you feel it?"

"Fellow Daoist, you don't know, I'm not a cultivator." He smiled apologetically at Sang Ying, "You might not believe it, but I was once a celestial being."

Sang Ying paused, then immediately scrutinized Yue Tianze's face carefully, even circling around him.

After staring at it for a long time, until Yue Tianze himself began to have doubts and wondered if something was wrong with him, she finally sat back down with a complicated expression on her face.

"You... you, are you the Child of the Heavenly Dao of the God Race?" Sang Ying licked her lips, and finally changed her form of address.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she said this, Yue Tianze's expression changed.

Upon seeing his constricted pupils, Sang Ying knew she had guessed correctly.

So, were all those so-called Child of Heavenly Destiny ultimately brought them into this world?

The Cultivation World.

The rebuilt Flowing Light Sword Sect was shrouded in a thick layer of Demonic Qi. All the flowers and plants in the vicinity withered, and even the Demon Beast and spirits living on the surrounding immortal mountains fled within a few days.

Within the dense Demonic Qi, the newly built main hall of the peak has been transformed into the Demon Lord's Hall. At this moment, outside the Demon Lord's Hall, those powerful figures who could easily stir up the entire Cultivation World if released, are neatly locked to the stone pillars outside the hall's gate.

Among them, Sang Zheng, with his full head of silver hair, was the most tightly locked up. His meridians had been sealed by Qi Yaoji's Demonic Power, and at this moment he was not even as strong as a mortal.

His entire body was filled with Demonic Qi and Spiritual Qi, as if his whole body was being used as a battlefield by these two forces, causing him immense pain.

Even in such pain, he gritted his teeth and never showed the slightest sign of giving in.

Besides Sang Zheng, other sect leaders from other prestigious sects, as well as Helian Mo, the head of the Jimo Household, and others are also locked up here.

Almost everyone in the Cultivation World who could be called a name had been captured and locked up here by Qi Yaoji.

She didn't spare the others either. Anyone related to Sang Ying, except for those who were locked up, was kept by her side as servants.

These cultivators, defying the heavens to survive, were naturally all people of unwavering character. Those who refused to submit, Qi Yaoji spared their lives, instead capturing those they cared about and torturing them to death in front of them!

After doing this a few times, no one dared to disobey her wishes anymore.

Qi Yaoji was overjoyed for a long time. She felt that even though she hadn't been able to kill Sang Ying, she had still trampled her underfoot.

However, this joy was greatly diminished when she met Gu Huaiwei eyes.

When Qi Yaoji was ignored by Gu Huaiwei once again, she finally couldn't help but pinch the other's chin and look at her. "Why are you so cold to me? Sang Ying is dead, all your schemes have come to nothing. Do you think she can come back? Don't be silly!"

After a moment of silence, Gu Huaiwei spoke coldly as if startled from a dream, "You think she died so easily? You're so naive. You'll regret it when she comes back."

A smile suddenly appeared on his lips, but Qi Yaoji was horrified.

She abruptly shook off Gu Huaiwei and strode away from the Demon Lord's Palace. Only Gu Huaiwei behind her.
