Chapter 138 Deser (2/2)

It seemed that Shen Lian did not find it strange and instead lowers his body to wipe off the little girl’s tears, with a gentle voice, he said, ”Sure.” He reached out to gently wipe away the tears off the girl’s face.

He then stood up and reach out for the peach. Once he touches the peach, the fruit exploded with oozing black slime. It was terrifying.

Anyone would be disgusted by black slime splashed to their body.

Shen Lian did not realized that the little girl by his side suddenly wrapped on his calf and start munching into it. The leaves on the peach tree turned into faces of grimace as the sun vanished and the sky turned into a chilling cold night.

Compared to the scorching heat earlier, this was the cold winter night.

The leaves of the entire forest of peach trees turned into faces of grimace with ghostly voices.

The tree trunk was like a snake, wrapped around Shen Lian’s waist and arms.

The black slime from the peaches covered the entire body of Shen Lian.

The little girl opened her mouth and it was a mouthful of blood in it as she tightly held on and bite Shen Lian’s calf.

Shen Lian was not shaken neither bothered by the wrapped body. Suddenly, a Qi of Dao Sword gushed towards him and slipped passed Shen Lian by a hairline. The sword aura was extremely stunning and it produced a pounding sound.

Like a burst bubble, the sky turned bright again with a hint of sunset. The little girl turned into a pile of bones while the peach forest turn into a field of dead poplar trees.

Shen Lian’s hand paused at the spot where the sword aura poke through the air buble.

Accompanying the sword aura was a swordsman in pale green, but his sword was kept in the sheath. He had equal eyebrows and looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old.

He looked at Shen Lian and said, ”I am Song Qingyi from Xuantian sect. Friend, you almost fell for the illusion created by the Mirage Demon. Fortunately the Mirage Demon king here was diminished by brother Chen of Qing Xuan. It could have costed your life if you accidentally swayed into the desert.

Shen Lian retrieved his hand without leaving a trace. Song Qingyi did not noticed that Shen Lian’s finger was pointing at the spot where his sword aura destroyed the Mirage Demon.

”Thank you Dao Master Song,” Shen Lian thank Song Qingyi as he squat down to create a hole and buried the pile of bones.

Song Qingyi sighed, ”There was originally a small tribe here. It was the Mirage Demon who engulfed the spirit fountain here and turned the land within a hundred miles radius into a desert. You would came across a stream of water when you walked in here and that stream was the afterimage of the spirit fountain. But I believe the afterimage will soon vanish.” Song Qingyi felt pitiful as spirit fountains were considered precious. Smaller schools of cultivation depend on spirit fountains to provide a base for their disciples to wash off the impurities on the flesh and blood.

He initially started off from a small family of cultivators and joined one of the big four Dao schools, the Xuan Tian sect and took a leap to learn the methods of Dao.

The pile of bones Shen Lian buried most probably belonged to a little girl from the tribe. The Mirage Demon’s mana was attached to the bones, creating an illusion of a little girl that looked like Ruoxi with the purpose of causing confusion for Shen Lian.

Now that the Mirage Demon was diminished by Song Qingyi, the pile of bones had lost the mana of the Mirage Demon. Shen Lian wanted to bury her so she could rest in peace.

Even if the little girl did not looked like Ruoxi, he would have done the same for any pile of bones, just so that he did not lose touch with humanity that much.

Song Qingyi sighed once more, ”Friend, you are a kind hearted person. You looked like someone who cultivates. It will be hard for to survive in this world if you’re not firm and decisive.”

He advised Shen Lian earnestly. Only people like Chen Jianmei who were highly skilled with supernatural powers could do it. His sword was one mean to defend from thousands of means of attack. Although he was not capable of doing it, his heart longed for it.

Shen Lian smiled and replied, ”I heard Xuantian sect is one of the best school of Celestialism. I didn’t expect a fellow Dao brother to be so peaceful and humble. That sure is a the charisma of a Dao practitioner.”
