Chapter 88: Chapter 88: Life Extended by Three Months

Next, the group went their separate ways.

The Ling Family bodyguards escorted the Heavenly Masters and the Adventure Supernatural Team members down the mountain.

Meanwhile, Qin Ruan and Ling Xiaoxuan retraced their steps, heading towards the undeveloped area of Qi Mountain.

They hadn’t been walking long, no more than fifteen minutes, when Qin Ruan’s shoes, caked with red mud, came to a stop.

Standing in the dense jungle, she pointed to a huge ancient tree not far to the left, so large that five or six adults could not hug it, and said to Ling Xiaoxuan, "Xiaoxuan, go stand over there. No matter what you see, don’t move and don’t make a sound. Can you do that?"

"Hmm——"

Ling Xiaoxuan simply replied, obediently walking over to stand beneath the ancient tree.

Hardly had she steadied herself when something seemed to happen over by Qin Ruan.

Qin Ruan’s slender hands moved in rapid flutters, forming beautiful hand signs, and her clear voice echoed with a deep, chilling undertone.

"King Yama taught me to kill ghosts, provided me holy prescriptions, with my murderous power, no god can resist, no ghost dares to confront, King Yama’s command is urgent as a law, banish the evil!"

The heavens and earth changed color, and the previously bright sky darkened in an instant.

From light to dark in a fraction of a second.

In the darkness, the roar of a wild beast sounded.

There were continuous angry howls, so many that Ling Xiaoxuan, standing beneath the ancient tree, could not help but tremble.

The fear in her heart made her want to flee uncontrollably from this place.

But she trusted Qin Ruan, believing that the latter would never let her get hurt.

This blind trust made her put her life in the hands of Qin Ruan.

Many demons and ghosts prowled Qi Mountain, over half of them tainted with evil blood Qi.

Since Qin Ruan had come to Qi Mountain and been targeted by these malevolent specters as prey, she had no intention of letting them go.

These mountain specters had low cultivation levels and the evil Qi they contained was nothing compared to Lingfeng’s hundreds of years of resentment, but they could still extend one’s lifespan.

Although a mosquito’s meat is small, it is still meat.

As long as her lifespan could be extended by even one more day, Qin Ruan wouldn’t refuse it.

Dense black Qi surged from all directions, rushing towards Qin Ruan.

The process was so fast that in just a few short seconds, everything was over.

The golden light in Qin Ruan’s cold eyes gradually faded, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowing, a solemn expression on her face.

Evil specters tainted with blood Qi scattered in the world, but she didn’t feel the slightest bit cheered up.

She dissolved the hand signs, pulled up her sleeve, and stared at the lifeline on the inside of her arm.

The Shatian Bridge, Song Banxian’s newly unearthed pendant’s evil Qi.

The Mountain Demon that Xiaoxuan provoked from Qi Mountain, soaked in life-taking blood Qi.

Lingfeng’s handkerchief tainted with hundreds of years of grudge Qi, as well as the uncountable evil spirits’ Qi from Qi Mountain.

Having absorbed so much evil Qi, Qin Ruan’s lifespan surprisingly only extended by three months.

Her current lifespan was only a bit more than a year.

At this moment, Qin Ruan could not shake the feeling as though the Underworld King was exploiting her. Despite the laborious absorption of so much evil Qi, her lifespan only increased by three months.

No matter how she calculated, she felt shortchanged by this deal.

Lingfeng’s hundreds of years of grudge Qi, she initially thought it could at least grant her an additional year of life, but it did not even reach half of that.

The disappointment she felt was similar to standing before a mountain of gold and silver, with life’s peak just within reach, yet unable to claim any of it.

Watching the gold and silver mountains bypassing you.

Though an exaggeration, the sense of loss was the same.

Ling Xiaoxuan was standing under the ancient tree, daring not to move.

Qin Ruan was standing not far away, her gaze fixed intently on the inside of her arm, her expression hidden from view.

Seeing no movement from her for quite some time, Ling Xiaoxuan looks slightly taken aback, growing anxious, "Qin Ruan, are you all right?"

"I’m fine, it’s all settled. Let’s go."

Qin Ruan lifted her head, giving a reassuring smile.

Her expression was gentle, without a hint of flaw.

Actually, inside, Qin Ruan was furious, but on her face, not a ripple was disturbed, not giving away any sign of her displeasure.
