Chapter 195 - The Saintess and the Sacrifice (2/2)

Lin and Wen are both confused. However, the saintess ignores them and gets on the back of the beast with the cyan little fox in her arms. In front of the eyes of Lin and Wen, the woman rises into the sky and disappears through the big huge on the roof of the sanctuary.

Lin looks at her right hand after the woman is gone.

The back of her hand is burnt and her fingers are still s.h.i.+vering because of the pain. The careless strike of the “saintess” almost disabled Lin’s hand.

Right hand means so much for cultivators.

Most people use their right hand to hold pens when they write and forks when they eat, so do the cultivators. Cultivators use their right hand to make gestures so that they can cast spells.

The saintess is so cold and mean. She is more like a witch rather than a saintess.

Now, Lin Luoran is finally sure that even if the woman is Baojia, she has lost her memory.

“Sister Lin, should we follow her?”

Wen didn’t say a word after Lin saved his life because he didn’t want to distract her. Now, seeing that Lin is in a daze, he can’t help reminding. Light pours down through the hole in the roof. Wen is tempted by the thought that the hole may be their way out of the underground world.

Lin would have followed the woman even if Wen didn’t bring it up.

What if the woman is Baojia who is possessed?

She will not give up as long as there is hope. Also, the cyan little fox was taken away by the woman. Lin has promised the white fox to take care of the little fox. She can’t just let it go.

The entire platform shakes when Lin and Wen is going up on the flying sword. For a moment, Lin Luoran thought that the sanctuary was about to collapse. Then she realizes that the platform is going up slowly.

Some animals standing at the edge fall down into the lava and are melted.

Being startled, Lin has to hold Wen’s hand in order to stand straight.

The platform is going up faster and faster. The hole in the roof expands. Light becomes brighter. There are over ten thousand of animals on the platform, yet the mysterious force lifts it up from the ground. Lin suddenly starts to have a bad feeling about the “sacrifice” the saintess talked about.

The animals scream while the platform gets higher.

Finally, the platform reaches the roof and it fits right in the hole.

This turns out to be an exquisite design!

Someone made this design based on the platform. Lin Luoran looks around while holding back her surprise.

Lin is sure that she has never seen so many animals in her life. The animals on the platform are all panicking.

Lin counts. There are eight platforms around and in the center of the platforms, there is a high terrace.

There are stairs made of jade. The saintess in her pale pink long dress is walking up. Lin can’t see the end of these stairs.

They are out of the underground world!

Lin suddenly notices that the platforms are surrounded by soft sand, and the stairs lead to twinkling stars.

The wind in the desert is dry and hot. However, compared with the underground world filled by lava, the desert is quite comfortable. Lin Luoran takes a deep breath. This must be the Kalahari Desert. She never expected that she could get out of the underground world so easily.

The saintess keeps going up on the stairs. She is disappearing into the night.

The saintess stops when Lin Luoran is wondering when she will stop. The Fire-hoof Beast runs down from the terrace. The saintess pats its head gently with kindness.

With her sharp eyes, Lin sees that the cyan little fox is on the back of the beast.

The saintess holds the fox in her arms. The fox jumps on the ground. The saintess wants to hold it again, but she can’t help being angry, “I was going to take you with me for our old time together. Since you don’t want to, you can become one of the sacrifices!”

Lin Luoran’s heart starts pounding. She casts the Wind-riding Spell and catches the cyan little fox. There are tears in its eyes. The little fox seems to be afraid of the saintess.

The saintess sneers and rises up to the sky on the Fire-hoof beast. Lin is alarmed by the “sacrifice” the saintess keeps talking about. She drags Wen along with her and runs to the edge of the platform.

A light wall rises. Wen’s sleeves are cut into pieces. Eight huge light beam cover the platforms.

Lin Luoran has a subtle feeling about how the sacrifice will begin.
