In the extreme darkness, the light shone in bit by bit.That was the slightly flickering candlelight.The light orange halo around the candlelight faded away like faint mist, enveloping the ordinary room. The room was made of wood and the dark brown wooden frame was somewhat old. The spider nets hung in the house were well cleaned. The dishes on the table were covered by the bamboo-made cover. A little girl who was seven or eight years old was leaning over the table, swinging her legs and discontentedly watching a boy sitting on the threshold and eating the fruit.Ning Changjiu immediately recognized that the boy was her younger brother.Whipping the bamboo mat by the door, her mother was talking to her brother while he was listening absent-mindedly.Her father was slashing the firewood. He looked quite strong without any old appearance.The family was not rich but supposedly, they lived a good life in the

When Ning Changjiu walked out of the room, the snow in this world started to melt.It was spring now. The snow was not real snow but the coldness in her heart.“Why do you want to kill me?”The splendor of spring shone through the increasingly thin snow. A voice came slowly through the snowstorm. It was hard to tell where the voice came from.That was the question asked by the seed of fox spirit.The inner demon tribulation was not about the realm but the heart, so the evil seed wanted to kill him when Ning Changjiu pointed at Ning Xiaoling between her eyebrows.However, it didn’t take action in the end.Because it only caught sight of the horrid darkness after searching into Ning Changjiu’s consciousness. All the conscious lights cast there were swallowed.It had never seen such a sea of consciousness, which didn’t seem like a sea anymore but the infinite starry sky.

The thunderous clouds as heavy as mountains roamed as if giving birth to a baby. Flashes of thunderous light just like balls or dragons and serpents kept striking, rendering the air around full of sizzling electricity.However, Ning Changjiu couldn’t hear anything. He was not sure whether his eardrums had been burst or all the sounds were blocked by something.Surprisingly, the dull and honest self of Ning Changjiu spoke first, “You must be kind to Xiaoling all the time.”Ning Changjiu, with his mouth half-opened, wanted to say something but he felt his throat was scratchy and just couldn’t utter any word.He suddenly realized that it was because two souls of his left the body that his body felt so light.The two souls had hidden in the depths of his consciousness. As a result, Ning Changjiu had three souls in his body mysteriously but this kind of situation was not allowed by the universe. Maybe this was the real reas

“My master Ning Qinshui brought me and Xiaoling to the imperial city to subdue demons. Unfortunately, due to inadequate skills, we underestimated how strong the demon was.”“At the critical juncture, Ning Qinshui used me and Xiaoling as the containers to forcibly seal the demon and then stuck two Purple Gold Divine Talismans onto us. Maybe the two talismans purified the ghosts in our bodies and then turned them into spiritual power. As to the memories of the ghosts, I’ve inherited some of them more or less so I know some rarely-met skills. It was the spiritual power that got me through the thunderbolt tribulation for Xiaoling.”“The spiritual power was gained by chance so it could not be renewed. Now I am only an ordinary Taoist priest, who hasn’t even reached the Profound Realm or even touched the threshold of cultivation. Your Highness, you don’t need to take precautions against me.”Ning Changjiu said that with his countenance unchanged. His

From the Immortal Forest to Lake Qifeng, Qiu Li walked along the path piled up with fallen leaves, followed by two armored guards dressed in black.Now, the ice and fire above Lake Qifeng had faded away. The calmness carried the unique bleakness of autumn. The imperial city that hadn’t been repaired was facing the lake, which appeared rather desolate to Qiu Li.Before yesterday, he was the chief disciple of the wizard patriarch of the Immortal Forest, who would inherit the ancient book and take over the throne of the wizard patriarch.Within one day, the world was turned upside down. The wizard patriarch who was regarded as a deity by him was dead without a full body. And he would be imprisoned shortly.How could he be reconciled?Qiu Li walked silently with his head lowered. More and more people came and went. He ambled through them quietly toward the imperial palace along the long street washed by the blood.
