Otherworldly Desert Dust

"Not bad for the Yin Pole Xuan Woman," Jiao Liecheng praised. "You make us feel ashamed."

Liu Mengying maintained a trace of serene tranquility, as if the magnificent act of obliteration she just performed was an everyday affair, exuding a detachment utterly unlike that of ordinary people.

However, Wu Hen, who was holding her small hand, could clearly feel the disarray in her meridians, nearly knocked unconscious by the rebounding force.

She was already at the end of her tether.

If these forces still harbored the intention to test her, she truly wouldn't be able to hold on much longer.

Fortunately, the strength that the Yin Pole Xuan Woman had just displayed did indeed lift the spirits of all the Human Clan forces. Even the mighty tyrant tiger armor appeared as mere reptiles before a true Netherworld Immortal of the highest order—easily wiped from existence!

Such a powerful being was something all other Human Clans aspired to. They all needed her protection and knew that to befriend such a person meant touching a higher dimensional world.

Thus, under the leadership of the Totem Sacred Sect's Jiao Liecheng and the Longevity Sect's Chu Zhi, the Human Clan forces began a major onslaught and finally arrived at the Red Palace Platform.

Inside the Red Palace Platform, a large number of tyrant tiger armors presented a formidable oppressive force. Any who were weaker than Heavenly Light and did not group together were practically instant kills.

"I can feel it," Liu Mengying breathed slowly.

The aura emitted by Death Omen Yuan You slowly nourished Liu Mengying's Netherworld Body, and her Divine Power, which had been on the verge of exhaustion, was gradually recovering.

Just being close to Death Omen Yuan You brought such miraculous effects.

This made Liu Mengying even more determined to seize Death Omen Yuan You.

Wu Hen remained lightly supporting Liu Mengying. To others, this Yin Pole Xuan Woman seemed supremely noble, always attended by someone, but only Wu Hen knew that without borrowing strength from him, she could collapse on the battlefield at any moment.

A frail Netherworld Immortal, without the support of the Yin Pole Heavenly Court, would still be brutally devoured by other humans no matter how noble her status.

Liu Mengying had to persevere until she obtained Death Omen Yuan You.

"With your condition, it will be hard to get to Death Omen Yuan You. There are at least a few hundred tyrant tiger armors above," Wu Hen said.

"I will crawl to it if I have to!" Liu Mengying declared.

"Miss, although those tyrant tiger armors guard Death Omen Yuan You, they dare not approach it carelessly. We don't necessarily have to kill all the tyrant tiger armors—just reaching that spot will do," the White Ghost Knight pointed to the empty area before Death Omen Yuan You.

There was nothing in that empty space.

Others didn't know, but Wu Hen was aware that it was the Purple Death Curtain.

Any living being that approached it would disintegrate, and the tyrant tiger armors were no exception.

Indeed, it was impossible to kill off all the Red Palace's tyrant tiger armors. Right now, they only needed to cut a bloody path to the Third Hall Platform.

The Yinji Netherworld Lotus that Liu Mengying had just deployed also had a strong deterrent effect. Those from the Red Zhe Clan no longer dared to form groups, lest they be caught in one fell swoop.

The dispersal of the Red Zhe also provided them with an opportunity for a surprise attack.

"Zhuo Dong, what do you think?" Liu Mengying asked.

"If we continue to move with the main force, we might have to fight another day and night. The best strategy is for the main force to launch a strong attack on the left side of the Red Palace, to paralyze the entire Red Zhe Clan. Then from our Human Clan, we select the most elite individuals and suddenly strike from the right side to the upmost platform. The number must not be large, but each one must be the strongest of our clans. Only then can we ensure the rate of breakthrough!" the White Ghost Knight proposed.

The White Ghost Knight had a point.

If we treat the human campaign as a thick stick, trying to penetrate deep into the swarm would meet great resistance as the entire Insect Race would adjust according to the formation of the humans, forming insect walls, or webs, or even surrounding them in turns.

However, if we select the strongest from each clan to form a small team and launch a surprise attack, it's like a short needle. With a strong push, there's a high chance of penetrating deeper and reaching the Purple Emperor Butterfly before the entire Insect Race can react.

Speed is of the essence in warfare. This group has strong mobility, and with top-level personal strength, they could definitely break out before the tyrant tiger armors and Red Zhe can react, especially since they are already very close to the Red Palace's platforms.

Liu Mengying found the idea sensible.

```

She found Chu Zhi immediately to discuss plans.

Convincing Chu Zhi meant they had essentially convinced Liang Shou as well.

Once Liang Shou agreed, Jiao Liecheng, who competed for the title of Red Port Hero, was not likely to show any weakness.

Jiao Liecheng had an excellent rapport with Mo Kun of the Exile Ship, and Mo Kun agreed to break out too, so at least they would not be surrounded by the endless army of the Insect Race.

Following that, Chu Zhi pulled in the wizard Li Ang from Magic Cube Star.

Li Ang borrowed the Gravity Crystal from the Hao Clan's Ark and insisted that they contribute as well.

With a strong figure taking the lead, other races would follow suit, since no one wanted to be bogged down here with the Red Zhe.

Thus, it wasn't long before a thirteen-person squad was formed, and it was evident that these individuals either had special means to save their lives or were very confident in their own strength!

"Fan Chen doesn't have to follow us, right?" It was then that the White Ghost Knight spoke up.

As the group consisted of the strongest from various human clans, there was naturally no need to bring along a burden.

"No, I can't cast some spells without him by my side," Liu Mengying refused outright.

Wu Hen hadn't even reacted yet.

It took him a while to realize that "Fan Chen" referred to himself.

He wasn't Wu Hen now, nor Cai Ting, but the officially designated Fan Chen of the Yin Pole Xuan Woman!

Why did it feel like the White Ghost Knight had a particularly strong dislike for him?

What's with all this resentment from a Yinji Follower towards the male protagonist?

Didn't he know that he and Liu Mengying were officially wed in the Underworld, a god-affirmed couple? Was this White Ghost Knight trying to advance his position through his strength?

What a plot—no wonder he was content to be a follower despite his outstanding abilities.

He was actually aiming for the lady protagonist!

What a joke!

Wu Hen hadn't forgotten that this was the guy who had told him to draw his sword and end himself when they were in peril earlier.

"I'll just follow Meng Ying. When we were in the mortal world, we were buried together, lying side by side in a narrow, golden-thread nanmu coffin, tightly embracing, dependent on each other in death..." Wu Hen, sensing the hostility from the White Ghost Knight, deliberately emphasized his relationship with Liu Mengying.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mengying, frail and slender, could barely stand steady.

Although Zhuo Dong wore a mask, it was clear his face must look extremely unsightly.

Even the other talented members of the Human Clan could tell that Wu Hen's words were a raw reminder of yin and yang...

"One must not mention things from before death!" Liu Mengying glared at Wu Hen.

Whatever this golden-thread nanmu coffin was, along with the intimate burial together, Liu Mengying herself was unaware, and she believed this guy was simply spouting nonsense.

After all, even if the funerary marriage had taken place, this guy was dead. How could he possibly know what the funeral was like?

For a Yin Pole Priest, "before death" was essentially equivalent to the mortal stage of an Immortal.

Immortals cut off karma with their mortal selves.

Yin Pole Priests typically had nothing to do with their mortal lives anymore.
