“No, it’s just that the Lord asked me to ask for him.”

The voice still echoed in the cold and bloody hall. After keeping the Full Moon Blade, Chu Qi turned to walk to the stone door behind the hall. After she pressed the mechanism, a passage slowly opened on the floor, and a rotten smell immediately came to her nose.

Stone steps were leading down. The light was dim inside, and only a few flickering torches hung on the wall. Chu Qi stepped in and the clicking of shoes echoed slowly. The dungeon was very damp, with the sound of dripping water and the squeaking of mice.

The air was filled with a dark and moist rotting smell. There were about a dozen rooms in the dungeon on the first floor, each of which was filled with all sorts of torture tools. There was still half of an arm or a corpse hanging from these instruments. The corpses had long rotted, and the corners were filled with skeletons. The rotten flesh had long been gnawed clean by the rats.

“Tap… tap… tap…”

The sound of footsteps echoed out. Chu Qi found the passageway and headed directly toward the third floor. It was the darkest floor, and the sound of the wind could be heard. It was as if the ghosts who had died in this place were howling.

“Cough… Cough cough…”

Suddenly, a cough came from the innermost corner of the room. The sound was gloomy. If an ordinary person came to a place like this, he or she would be so scared that his or her legs would go weak. However, Chu Qi’s face was as calm as still water. She slowly walked into the room step by step.

“Cough… cough… cough…”

“Tap… tap… tap…”

The voices of the two were getting closer and closer. One of them was the weak cough, and the other was the clear and crisp sound of a woman’s heels. When Chu Qi came to the innermost corner, she saw a man with disheveled hair and a dirty face tied to the torture tools.

Two of the man’s fingers were cut off, one of his ears was cut off, and his scapulae were worn with iron hooks. Both his hands and feet were covered with scars, and his chest too. Obviously, he had been tortured. However, these scars seemed to have been added recently.

The man raised his head and looked at the fairy-looking woman in front of him. After suffering a terrible torment, he met such a woman. He swore that this was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He said slowly in a weak voice, “Fairy…”

It was obvious that he had been so tortured that he was a little unconscious.

“Clang! Clang!” Two crisp clanging sounds resounded. With a flash of lightning, Chu Qi cut off the chain that bound him. The man fell to the ground. Chu Qi placed two fingers together and infused True Energy into the man’s body. She said placidly, “Follow me.” With that, she turned around and walked away.

“Fairy… Fairy, are you here to save me?” With the support of True Energy from Chu Qi, the man with the fluffy hair immediately got up from the ground and chased after her.

However, Chu Qi did not speak. When they returned to the hall, they saw the blood and broken corpses all over the place. The man with a fluffy head was so frightened that his eyes were wide open, his heart was jumping and his whole body was trembling. He tiptoed carefully and was scared out of his wits at once when he occasionally touched a rolling head.

“Fairy, they… Why are they all dead…”

Chu Qi was still silent. When they walked outside, the rain had stopped, but lightning flashed across the sky once in a while. The two walked forward for a while, and the unkempt man took a deep breath of the air outside as if he had returned from hell to the human world.

“Wait!” Chu Qi stretched out his hand and suddenly said.

“Fairy… what’s wrong?” The unkempt man immediately stopped. He turned his head and looked around, looking quite nervous.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning flashed past, and seven figures stood on the roofs on both sides of the alley. There were three on the left and four on the right. Everyone stood in different ways. Judging from their postures, they should be women.

“Follow closely…” The eyes of Chu Qi were as sharp as blades. Swiftly, the Full Moon Blade was drawn out and slowly split into two.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!” With a burst of wind, the seven shadows attacked at the same time like ghosts. “Clang! Clang! Clang!” Sparks flew in all directions, and the unkempt man could not see them clearly. He was so frightened that he shouted, “What… what the hell!”

“Clang!” A sharp sound rang out. Chu Qi was sent flying several feet away by the impact. She held the Full Moon Blade in her hand and stood in front of the unkempt man. Her gaze remained incomparably sharp.

“Tap, tap, tap…”

Footsteps slowly sounded, and the seven women slowly walked to the front. Under the faint light, they could then see the appearance of the seven people. They were all extremely beautiful women, but there was a murderous aura hidden between their eyebrows. This hidden murderous aura was no less than that of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon.

Their code name was Seven-Night Queens.

“Leave him here, and you can take your life with you.” The leading woman slowly said. Her voice was extremely cold, especially on this cold night. It made people shudder.

As soon as the voice fell, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky. The unkempt finally had a clear look at the appearance of the seven people. They must have come to take him away. Although he did not know what these people were going to do, it was better to follow the person who had just saved him.

“You can’t take the person away from me, nor can you leave my life here.” The cold glint in the eyes of Chu Qi gradually intensified. As soon as she finished speaking, the Full Moon Blade in her hand was instantly divided into seven parts. They spun rapidly in the air, making constant fiendish wind noises.

“Swoosh!” With the sound of the wind, a cold blade was sent to her. Chu Qi leaped and did a reverse somersault. The cold blade flew between her legs, but the wind brought by the cold blade left a shallow blood mark on her leg.

Before she could land on the ground, another six cold blades flew from the opposite side. Chu Qi slammed her hands on the ground and pushed her body a few feet high. At the same time, she waved her two arms and the seven Full Moon Blade also flew toward the seven people.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!” The seven women immediately blocked with their sabers. Chu Qi used offense as a means of defense. In an instant, she rushed forth and slammed a palm on a person’s chest, sending the person flying a few feet away. At the same time, she jumped up and kicked the other person out as well.

Chu Qi now could no longer be compared to that Chu Qi, who just came to the Wastelands with Xiao Chen. Now, her body movements were even faster, and her attacks were even swifter and fiercer. The two strikes just now happened almost in the blink of an eye.

However, the other seven women were not slow, either. Two of them immediately swung their sabers at her neck. Chu Qi leaned back to avoid the deadly attacks of the two blades. However, a wisp of her hair was sliced off by the wind blades.

“Poom! Poom!” Two quick explosions resounded. It was the palm strike launched by Chu Qi that hit the stomachs of the two women. The two women groaned and flew backward. Simultaneously, the five women from behind attacked again. The five of them joined forces to strike at Chu Qi. “Poom!” There was a loud explosion. The palm force that hit Chu Qi sent her flying.

“Swoosh, swoosh!” Before she could steady herself, another two streaks of cold light chopped at her. Chu Qi tilted her head to avoid the two streaks of cold light attack, but two shallow bloodstains were left by the wind blades on her shoulder.

She took a few steps back and steadied herself. Chu Qi gave a muffled snort as blood trickled down from the corner of her mouth. The joined palm attack by the five women had been too much for her to handle.

The man with a fluffy head was already scared out of his wits. Seeing that she was injured, he asked in a trembling voice, “Fairy, you… are you okay…”

“Stay away,” said Chu Qi coldly. She wiped off the blood at the corner of her mouth and retrieved her Full Moon Blade. Then, she leaped into the air and bellowed, “Twelve shadows—Illusion Kill!”

“Shah, shah, shah!”

Suddenly, a cold wind blew in all directions, and eleven more figures appeared in the air. The figures gradually became solid, and they were of the looks of Qingluan, Ziyun’er, and the rest. Together with Chu Qi, the twelve figures instantly surrounded Seven-Night Queens.

The seven women held the cold blades in their hands, and their expressions instantly became solemn. They had never seen such a cultivation method before.

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

In mid-air, the 12 shadows attacked the seven people from different directions, respectively. With the ultimate skill of the Levitating Dark Fragrance, the Twelve-Shadow Final Kill was used to launch a deadly attack on a single enemy. The power of the attack was strong, and the Twelve-Shadow Illusion Kill was used to attack many enemies. Though the speed of the attack was very fast, it was not as strong as the Final Kill.

“Clang! Clang! Clang!” Suddenly, the sound of weapons colliding rang in their ears. Sparks flew in all directions, and the air was gradually filled with a layer of blood.

The seven women in the Seven-Night Queens were surrounded by the twelve shadows of the Hidden Fragrance Wafting around them. On their arms and shoulders, several bloody wounds were immediately cut open. The leading woman’s brows were tightly knitted together as she shouted, “Seven-Night——Shadow Sacrifice!”

As her voice fell, the seven people left their residual shadows where they were, and their bodies seemed to become one in an instant. The next moment, the seven people’s residual shadows were killed by the twelve figures of Levitating Dark Fragrance. However, the bodies of the seven people had already broken away from the encirclement and appeared more than 10 feet away.

At this moment, the seven people seemed to be joined together, and there was a formation between them. Then the seven people raised their hands, and a huge blood-red Killing Formation suddenly appeared in the air and quickly covered the twelve people on the ground.

“Shah, shah, shah!”

The strong wind kept blowing. The Blood-red Killing Formation enveloped the twelve silhouettes of Hidden Fragrance Wafting in the air. The eleven phantoms immediately dispersed. Chu Qi seemed to be seriously injured as she retreated while clutching her chest. A mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.

Seeing this, the leading woman cried again. Another huge Blood-red Killing Formation flew at Chu Qi and shrouded over her. At this time, they suddenly heard a deafening dragon roar coming from a distance.

“Boom!” With a loud noise, the buildings on both sides of the alley were turned into flying ash under the attack of the powerful force. It turned out that Xiao Chen and the others had arrived.

“Chu Qi!” Xiao Chen moved like lightning and instantly moved to the side of Chu Qi. He held her shoulders and quickly sent a force of True Energy into her body. Then, he looked coldly at the seven women in the air and asked, “Who are you? Who sent you here?”

Of course, he could recognize that these seven people were the seven ladies who had come to assassinate him that night during the Wastelands Sword Tryout. Now, he also understood that the Bluestone Hall was destroyed by these seven people. The most important clue in the Purple Wind Hall was left by them deliberately. They wanted to wait until he broke into the Bloodmoon Hall and dragged back a large number of masters and they would sit back and collect the benefits. Their aim was also Ren Yuntian, or rather, Ren Tianxing.

At this time, Yang Qing and the others also caught up. However, the four of them seemed to be injured, especially Yang Qing. His face was pale and his lips were dark. He probably had been shot by a poisonous arrow.

Yang Qing glanced at the unkempt hiding in the corner and said in a low voice, “The man has been rescued, and their men are catching up. It’s not safe to stay here for a long time. Brother Xiao, leave now!”

Xiao Chen glanced at the unkempt man and said coldly, “Chu Qi, bring him along. Let’s go!”
