- Chapter 114 2 (2/2)

He put away the Eastern Ocean Bell while ignoring Xue Qing’s astonished look, raised his head and looked at the dark and damp sky.

“Why does this place have no rain…why…?”

His eyes looked puzzled. According to his inference, Que Shenzi should have obtained an even higher enlightenment in the third level that year.

Without the rain, how could one acquire the insight?

Or could it be that one could only attain enlightenment in the absence of rain?

Traces of moist intent settled over him. All of a sudden, he closed his eyes.

“Xue Qing, don’t disturb me…” After leaving a word, he shut all of his six senses.

The only thing that was left open was his spirit sense, the instinct that could keep a cultivator alive.

...

In the gloom, Ning Fan immersed himself in Dao Enlightenment, whereas Xue Qing was feeling numbness over his scalp.

The surrounding air was cold and gloomy. The land was scattered with white bones. Every single one of these bones made him nervous, reminding him of the woman’s face that was full of blood.

“Pill Devil… I don’t think Pill Devil will emerge now right…”

He smiled bitterly. Despite being an early Gold Core expert, dread was still plastered all over his face, making him no different than any junior.

“Hehe, what’s so scary about the Pill Devil…? There’s no need to be afraid… I will do the same thing as master, closing my eyes to attain enlightenment… But how do I do that without rain…?” Emboldened by a hollow laugh, he closed his eyes.

But in the next moment, he could clearly feel that a soft but icy cold hand was on his shoulder.

“I’m very hungry……” A voice of a miserable woman sounded behind him! Xue Qing was freaked out instantly.

Not good, this is Pill Devil! How strong is she? How could she approach him from behind unnoticeably?!

Xue Qing gritted his teeth and spun. He then saw a woman with dreadfully pale face that was full of blood, a strange smile and gloomy white teeth. As she looked at the elder, she was licking her long tongue as if she was looking at a delicious meal!

“Mas-master…” Xue Qing called out to Ning Fan.

“Don’t make a scene… Just play with her, and don’t disturb me…” After Ning Fan detected the ‘female ghost’ with his spirit sense, he withdrew his spirit sense and said no more.

“What? Me playing with… with her?! She will have me eaten!” Xue Qing showed a face of helplessness.

Even though experts should stay calm in any situation, this wasn’t a situation that an expert could stay calm at! “Pill Devil was just in front! Master, you can’t immerse yourself in Dao Enlightenment anymore, you have to save me!”
