Chapter 2254: Don’t Know Where I Am
Upon hearing those words from the Immortal Venerable cultivator from Opulent Celestial Sect, the other Immortal Venerable cultivators glanced at each other and whispered a few words in low voices. They then said: "Then let's go back to our respective Sects first and report this matter to our Sect Masters. After which, we will decide if we will go to the Opulent Celestial Sect again!"
"Duan Ye, you should come back with us!" The Immortal Venerable Cultivator from the Opulent Celestial Sect looked at him and said.
"I have to make a trip to Heavenly Pill Tower in Hundred Rivers City." Duan Ye shook his head. Something had happened to Feng Jiu and he had to tell them.
Upon hearing this, the two Immortal Venerable cultivators didn't say anything other than to tell him that he had to be more careful and to keep an eye on his injuries.
Therefore, after the matter had been dealt with simply, they didn't stay for long but each returned to their Sect separately…
Duan Ye rested in the Lu Manor and prepared to leave town the next morning. As for Yi Xiuran, he also left shortly after those Immortal Venerable cultivators had left..
And on the other side.
After Feng Jiu had been sucked into the vortex and transported through the Dark Portal, she lay unconscious by a hillside. The surrounding area was pitch black and the breath in the air was grim. The roars of fierce beasts sounded high and low through the darkness and made one feel like shuddering when they heard it.
A night breeze blew past and the cold wind made her shiver instinctively. Before her eyes had opened, she heard the sound of a bell ringing softly.
When she heard the sound of the bell, her heart moved. Her eyes opened instantly and she turned her body over and leapt up. As her spirit intent regained clarity, the scene of her being sucked into the Dark Portal came into her mind. She couldn't help but glance at her surroundings. There was nothing but darkness. She could only feel gusts of cold wind blowing which made the hairs on her skin stand.
"Ring a ling ling."
The little purple bell that hung from her waist rang. Back then, her elder sworn sister Wanyan Qianhua had given her this string of ornaments and she had been wearing it ever since. Right now, she looked around and saw nothing. However, the bell kept ringing non-stop and the ghastly cold wind was even more biting.
She couldn't see anything but it felt like she was being surrounded by that invisible thing. She felt like she was being stared at and it felt extremely creepy.
She stabilized her mind and looked down at the bell and small gourd on her waist, then she stepped forward. In the night, there was still no appearance of anything. However, the bell on her waist shook in the wind and made subtle ringing sounds…
In the night, the moonlight was covered by dark clouds, and only a faint moonlight spilled through the night sky. On this unknown trail, a girl in a red dress with loose hair walked with light footsteps. From a distance, she really resembled a ghost.
Behind her, in the night, more than a dozen shadows that were floating in the night followed her from a distance, as if they had blended with the night and people were unable to see their existence…
Feng Jiu walked along the path, and even though she hadn't looked back, nor was she able to see the shadows around her, she knew that they were following her. But, what exactly was this place? What kind of place had that vortex sucked her into? Why was the air here so grim?
Back then, Wanyan Qianhua had told her that as long as she wore this purple bell and small gourd, no demons and spirits would dare approach her. She didn't know anything else, but she knew that nothing in this grim place dared to approach her.
