The Unruly Immortals

Looking at Record of Appearance, who had collapsed on the ground, Li Huowang's face was showing an exceptionally ugly expression.

Li Huowang remembered that Record of Appearance had said, when the male Heart Turbidity is dead and the female Heart Turbidity is still alive, if the two of them come together, even Zhuge Yuan would not be able to handle the situation.

Li Huowang did not know how powerful Zhuge Yuan was; all he knew was that he was really in trouble now.

"Huowang, what's wrong with this eunuch?" Bai Lingmiao, who was on guard looking around, obviously did not realize the seriousness of the situation.

Looking at her profile, Li Huowang took a deep breath to suppress the strong unease in his heart. His own life and death didn't matter, but it was absolutely unacceptable for Bai Lingmiao to get involved!

Li Huowang quickly stepped forward, helped Record of Appearance off the ground, and asked anxiously, "Lord Record of Appearance! Don't lose heart! It's not over yet! Think about it, how did the others inside escape when they encountered this situation?"

Hearing this, Record of Appearance looked at Li Huowang with deep despair on his face, saying, "You don't understand anything at all, there are no survivors when it comes to this kind of incident!"

Just as Li Huowang was about to say something more, the gazes shooting from all directions made him grip the handle of his sword tightly with caution.

Gradually, a group of people emerged slowly from the woods, a group that looked exactly like the thing Li Huowang had caught.

They were hunched over, crouching at a distance, with bulging bellies, and their protruding goldfish eyes staring fixedly at Li Huowang and his companion.

"Newcomers again? Great, great!"

"That little girl looks quite nice. Hehe…"

"Yeah, she's got a big butt too."

Their whispering voices made Li Huowang's expression turn ferocious. He swung the Copper Coin Sword in his hand swiftly, and with a tug on the red thread, it struck out at these things like a whip.

However, facing Li Huowang's attack, these things didn't even try to dodge, directly intercepting it with their frail and gaunt bodies.

The sharp Copper Coin sliced through their bodies like cutting tofu, but those severed into pieces did not take any action, lying on the ground and writhing while speaking something.

"Don't rush, we won't do anything, we will just keep waiting."

"Wait one year, two years, three years, until you become just like us."

The words of these people instilled a chilling fear in Li Huowang, who had always been fearless.

They were no longer human long ago; these people, hidden away and forgotten by Heart Turbidity, had already morphed into monsters over the long years.

Li Huowang cursed fiercely in his heart, no longer caring about the things surrounding him; he turned his head and picked Record of Appearance back up.

"Lord Record of Appearance, what is it, we're just trapped, right? Think hard! Think about those people outside waiting for you to return!"

Hearing Li Huowang's words, it seemed like Record of Appearance remembered something, the panic and despair in his eyes rapidly diminishing.

"Right, she's still at home waiting for me! I want to take her back to the village! I quit!"

Seeing this, Li Huowang breathed a sigh of relief and asked calmly, "Lord Record of Appearance, think carefully, what method is there that can get us out?"

The barely revitalized Record of Appearance patted his face with force, thought calmly for a moment, and then raised his head to speak to the others, "Now that Heart Turbidity is one alive and one dead, their karmic obstacles have just become a balance of yin and yang. With yin and yang conjoined, we surely can't escape. To break the situation, the only way is to find the living female Heart Turbidity."

Record of Appearance spoke more and more steadily, and his speech speed also increased.

"Yes, that's right, find the female Heart Turbidity! If we make her into a dead person, perhaps there's still a chance for life!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly put aside their concerns, dodging out of the way and rushing into the forest to search for the so-called Heart Turbidity.

As one tree after another receded before them, Li Huowang led Bai Lingmiao on a relentless search through the woods.

"Huowang, I don't know what the hell is wrong with this place, it can't get any response from the Immortal Sects." Bai Lingmiao, who had been drumming for a while, spoke to Li Huowang with an obviously irritated expression.

Li Huowang had already anticipated this; in such circumstances, how could the small fry from the Immortal Sects be of any use?

"Blind searching is useless. It seems we'll have to resort to divination with talismans." Li Huowang reached out for the ginger yellow paper, only to find that his own stock had long since been burnt to ashes.

"Do you have any yellow paper?" Li Huowang asked Bai Lingmiao.

Bai Lingmiao thought for a moment, then pulled a small paper horse folded from yellow paper from her bosom. "I use this for jumping god rituals, see if you can make use of it."

Li Huowang took it and quickly unfolded it, glanced around, then charged towards a man stealthily peeking from behind a tree. Shortly after, he returned with a bloody skull in his hand and began the divination.

After observing the divinatory symbols on it, Li Huowang tossed the skull aside and continued the search.

Yet the divination that was once infallibly effective strangely proved useless this time; no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the lines indicated by the divinatory symbols.

After a day and a night, it was ultimately Tuoba Danqing who found them. "Hurry, Hong Da has been found!"

Ignoring the deep fatigue in their bodies, the three of them returned the way they had come.

Soon after they arrived back, they just caught Tuoba Danqing viciously decapitate the Heart Turbidity woman's head and toss it onto the ground.

Li Huowang's heart clenched instantly upon seeing this, and he nervously surveyed the pitch-black surroundings.

However, after a long time, nothing changed around them; not one of those who were hidden had gone missing.

"What's going on?" Li Huowang couldn't help but ask.

At that moment, the Heart Turbidity woman's head on the ground slowly moved toward her body. Her eyes were devoid of light, but she was undeniably still alive.

Upon seeing their actions, an extremely grating laughter echoed from around them.

"Hahaha! You actually think you can kill her? Don't you know that no one can die in this place?"

"Do you think we don't want to die? We've longed for death! Do you know what's more terrifying than dying? It's living forever like this!"

Those words sent a chill through the hearts of everyone present. To break the situation, they needed to kill the Heart Turbidity, but inside this place, she simply couldn't die!

The next moment, Bai Lingmiao drew out the Purple Tassel Sword from Li Huowang's body and forcefully slashed at Hong Da's neck.

Seeing that Hong Da, whose blood was flowing unchecked, showed no sign of dying, everyone instantly understood their current predicament.

It almost formed an unsolvable dead knot.

The face of the Record of Appearance, which had instantly fallen, was about to say something when a fist viciously struck his face.

"You damn eunuch! All of this mess is your doing! If it weren't for you dragging us here to catch some goddamn Heart Turbidity, we wouldn't have ended up in this mess!"

It was Tuoba Danqing, who had departed from his usual affable demeanor and completely ignored the hierarchy, furiously rushing up to Record of Appearance and began pummeling his former superior with a storm of punches and kicks.
