"Yuan Ming?" Yuan Ming stopped and looked around. He could not believe who the person standing in front of him was. It had been a long ti since he had ever gotten in touch with soone from his past.
"Sister Rong?" he muttered in disbelief. The person standing before him was none other than Li Rong, the receptionist woman he t in the Golden Edge City.
He recalled how she helped him when he used to go to the Eternal Jade Guild. She would offer him advice and care about him. It was because of that she was his first crush.
Seeing her, all of those mories hit him all at once, making his eyes moistened. Ever since he fled from The Soaring Heaven Sect, he never thought he would see her again in his life.
But today…
"What are you doing here, Sister Rong?" Yuan Ming walked forward towards her.
"I…" Li Rong looked at Yuan Ming with a shocked expression. "I would like to ask you the sa question. Why are you in this place? No one is allowed here!"
Yuan Ming stopped in his tracks hearing the coldness in her voice. He could not believe the woman who was so gentle and caring to him, treating him like her enemy. Stay connected through empire
"Don't tell … you too…" he staggered back while muttering in disbelief. He did not want to believe the guess that ca to his mind. A thought that told him, the woman in front of him was no longer the sa woman he once fell in love with.
"They brainwashed you as well?!" Words choked his throat as he failed to comprehend the reality.
"Brainwash? No, they showed it to , the truth of the world." The look on Li Rong's face turned to that of a fanatical maniac. She looked at Yuan Ming and raised her hands. "Seeing as you are awake, you should have also seen, the limitations of this world. I am glad that you are here, we will finally be able to stay together and serve our lord."
But her elated expression turned into a frown seeing how Yuan Ming looked at her with wariness. "Sothing is wrong. Why is your energy cultivation still sealed?"
Yuan Ming backed away, seeing her getting suspicious. 'I need to get away from here! She cannot find out that I am not under the effect of that curse.'
As a look of realization dawned on Li Rong's face, she walked towards Yuan Ming and asked coldly, "Why are you here? How did you get up in the middle of the night?"
Yuan Ming could not help but curse his luck seeing that the woman was onto him. He looked around and saw that there was no way for him to escape. In front of him was Li Rong, while on the back it was lava that could kill him as soon as he touched it.
"Who allowed you to co here, Yuan Ming?" She raised her sword, aiming at the boy, and asked coldly. "Only those who are allowed by the captain can co to this place!"
The boy panicked and started to think of a way to get out of his predicant at a fast rate. He looked around in desperation.
*Splash!*
Yuan Ming staggered backward with a look of disbelief in his eyes. He looked down and saw Li Rong's sword piercing his chest. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words ca out.
The pain from his chest started to spread through his whole body, making him realize it was a reality, not a bad dream or an illusion.
"Everyone who stands in the way of our lord is our enemy." Li Rong's eyes, cold and emotionless, looked at Yuan Ming as if he did not an anything to her.
*Bang!*
*Splash!*
Pulling her sword back, she kicked him into the lava behind him. Li Rong did not show a shred of emotion seeing Yuan Ming's body catching fire and drowning in the lava. She turned around and sheathed her swords, "All the enemies will cease to exist!"
She disappeared into another tunnel right beside the one Yuan Ming used to enter this place.
*Plop!*
'Argh!' Yuan Ming gritted his teeth, feeling the lava burning on his skin, and scread in his mind. The pain from the wound on his chest did not make things easier for him. The lava started to burn his body from the inside out.
Even when his skin was almost burnt, he did not let go of the sword in his hands. The pain made him slowly lose consciousness; he failed to see the sword in his hands glowing before covering him with that energy.
'Just sleep, master, leave the rest to .' Yuan Ming failed to hear the voice of the sword as he had already lost consciousness.
The wounds on his body started to heal so fast that his skin started to appear at a very fast pace. His cultivation was unsealed instantly.
Even then, his body continued to drown in the deep sea without any intention of stopping.
'This is it.' Just as they approached the bed of the lava, the sword muttered, seeing a pear-shaped seed glowing there.
*Woosh!*
Pulling Yuan Ming's body, it rushed towards the seed. The sword did not stop even after coming close to the land and stabbed the seed in the center. The energy from the stone was sucked into the sword and moved to Yuan Ming.
Slowly, the energy from the sword that was stopping his body from burning started to fade away and left the boy exposed to the lava. But sothing magical happened the mont the lava touched his skin.
Even though the lava was burning him, it was not as fast as before. It had slowed exponentially and only got slower with ti.
'This Yang Seed has fully nourished his Yang Spirit roots and even helped him temper his body.' The sword thought in satisfaction, looking at Yuan Ming's body swaying in front of it. 'Now all that needs to be done is to use the elental qi in the stones to increase his cultivation, but the rest
