Chapter 587: Chapter 294: The Sunset and the Lonely Bird Fly Together

To ascend to Sanctum with the Heaven Desolation Killing, even with Jiang Shouzhong wielding the Zodiac Map as an aid, still caused a massive sensation across Jianghu.

The last person to achieve this was Shi Luoxia from Huoyun Mountain.

That is to say, Li Nanshuang’s master.

After violently tearing off Tian Duanjiang’s head, Jiang Shouzhong finally couldn’t hold on any longer and collapsed to the ground.

The side effects of the Zodiac Map’s demonic power began to surge back in rebellion, like a torrent flowing in reverse, corroding Jiang Shouzhong’s body, causing his insides to churn erratically, the pain unbearable.

"Damn it!"

Li Nanshuang held the man in her arms.

Jiang Shouzhong rested his forehead helplessly on the girl’s shoulder.

He wanted to say something, but the slicing pain from the Demon Energy coursing through his body caused his face to twitch several times, and he eventually passed out.

"Damn it..."

Li Nanshuang cupped the man’s cheek, full of self-reproach.

If she had known this would happen, she would have broken through her body’s restraints to fight it out.

Moments later, Qu Hongling came back, dragging her heavily injured body.

When she saw Tian Duanjiang’s corpse on the ground and the Jiang Shouzhong covered in blood, she couldn’t help but be shocked: "Jiang, what happened to you?"

Li Nanshuang recounted the events that had occurred.

After hearing this, Qu Hongling felt extremely vexed and hated Bai Feiqing and the Myriad Phenomena God Sect to the extreme.

She silently vowed that as soon as they returned to the Demon Clan, she would surely lead the Sky Demon Sect to lay siege upon the Myriad Phenomena God Sect!

Qu Hongling took hold of Jiang Shouzhong’s arm, felt the fierce Demon Energy running rampant within his body, and asked Li Nanshuang in surprise, "Has Jiang previously absorbed any of the Zodiac Map’s Demon Energy?"

Li Nanshuang nodded her little head, "He must have."

"The Demon Energy from the Zodiac Map is the True Yuan Demon Energy inside a demon’s body; ordinary people would explode and die if they absorbed even a little, and the fact that Jiang didn’t die after absorbing so much is already a miracle," Qu Hongling said softly.

Li Nanshuang showed guilt, "He insisted on absorbing the Demon Energy; if I had known, I would have stopped him."

Qu Hongling didn’t say anything else, brought her red lips to Jiang Shouzhong’s, and slowly sucked. Strands of dark red Demon Energy flowed out from the man’s mouth, absorbed by the girl.

As the Demon Energy was continuously released, the originally pained expression on Jiang Shouzhong’s face gradually eased.

Just then, sensing a disturbance in the air, Li Nanshuang’s brows shot up. She looked toward the distant sky and said solemnly, "Someone’s coming."

Qu Hongling decisively said, "Nan Shuang, you take Jiang and leave first."

Li Nanshuang looked at her, "What about you?"

Qu Hongling’s pale cheeks showed a smile, "Don’t worry, I’ll catch up with you soon. I plan to lay a trap here, to delay them as long as possible."

"Why don’t I stay, and you take him away."

Li Nanshuang was worried about her.

Qu Hongling urged anxiously, "Nan Shuang, don’t dilly-dally at times like this. With my current state, I can’t practice Sword Control, so how far could I take Jiang? At least I can run away alone."

Li Nanshuang hesitated for a moment, then carried Jiang Shouzhong on her back and left with her sword in hand.

"Nan Shuang sister!"

A sudden call from the girl came from behind.

Li Nanshuang turned her head to look.

Qu Hongling bit her lip, saying, "If Jiang doesn’t want to wait for me, you guys go ahead to the Capital."

Li Nanshuang was stunned for a moment, then nodded lightly.

Qu Hongling watched the two of them leaving and exhaled softly into the air.

The Demon Energy she had just absorbed from Jiang Shouzhong’s body condensed into a cluster of black and red mist, then transformed into a giant, half-transparent phoenix, flying into the sky.

Qu Hongling took out a leaf and flicked it with her finger.

As the air around her fluctuated, her figure vanished from the spot.

Seconds later, a streak of light zoomed across the sky like a shooting star chased by the moon, hurtling toward them.

With a "boom," the streak of light was blocked by the phoenix.

Then, a charming and graceful figure gracefully descended from the sky... it was a beautiful woman in purple attire.

Just as the toes of the woman in purple touched the ground, suddenly, an intense sword light appeared out of nowhere, as if calculated exactly where she would land.

The sword light pierced through the woman’s body.

However, despite the sword light piercing through the body of the woman in purple, there wasn’t the expected splatter of blood.

Instead, the woman’s body suddenly vanished into nothingness.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a cloud of fine sand, dancing gracefully in the wind, scattering a golden hue on the ground.

Qu Hongling’s nerves tensed, a sense of alertness surged, and she sprang up from among the sand. However, upon closer inspection, there was a wound on her calf, oozing with blood.

In the spot where Qu Hongling had been hiding, the sand and gravel seemed to have a life of their own, slowly wriggling.

Eventually, the gathering and forming sand and gravel unexpectedly morphed into the shape of a woman in purple attire.

"The Peak Master of the Third Peak of the Myriad Phenomena God Sect, Sha Nv?"

Qu Hongling stared intently at the woman in purple.

This woman, named Sha Nv, although her cultivation was around the level of Heaven Desolation Boundary, her illusions were incredibly potent, no less difficult to deal with than the previously encountered Tian Duanjiang.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have secured the position of the third Peak Master.

The woman’s greatest pastime was Dual Cultivation, and she kept quite a few favorites.

The woman in purple laughed lightly, "Does Mr. Qu think I’m as foolish as those two, unable to see through your trap?"

Qu Hongling sneered, "Being from the same sect, you’ve been hiding and watching coldly, doing nothing to help... Madam Sha Nv, aren’t you afraid of being punished by the Sect Leader?"

The woman in purple chuckled, patting her chest:

"A woman like me can’t handle fighting and killing. I only know some tricks in bed. Besides, with your prowess, Mr. Qu, how dare I make a move against you.

I also had no choice but to show up just now. If I just watched you all leave, I really wouldn’t be able to explain myself to the Sect Leader. I hope Mr. Qu can be generous, come back with me obediently, and let me complete my task, okay?"
