The carriage jolted, and Lady Shifei exclaimed in surprise.
The horse, as if gone mad, dashed toward the Yin Yang Road.
At this moment, suddenly, the carriage shook, and the galloping vehicle came to a halt.
A pair of hands, remarkably conspicuous in the night, suddenly appeared.
Those hands weren’t large, rather slender, and as pale as moonlight.
Yet it was these hands that firmly grasped the reins, and with just a slight pull, the carriage came to a steady stop at the entrance of the road, just half a step from the Yin Yang Road.
The dark shadow, having thought it had successfully eliminated Lady Shifei, was taken aback.
Inside the carriage, Lady Shifei also looked utterly shaken.
"Lady Shifei, don’t be alarmed."
A sweet, melodious female voice echoed by her ear.
Lady Shifei mildly stunned, lifted her head, and saw the curtain being lifted; a face that made her breath slow two beats entered her gaze.
It was a young woman of extraordinary beauty.
She was very young, with crystal-clear skin and a pair of affectionate eyes, shimmering like water.
She smiled brightly at Lady Shifei.
Lady Shifei was startled, and before she could gather herself, the woman had already leaned out of the carriage.
The woman leaped lightly and landed on the ground.
"And who might you be?"
The dark shadow, upon seeing the woman’s face, also found his breath slightly stifled.
"Just a passerby. Seeing injustice on the road, a man like you bullying a weak woman, what kind of skill is that?"
The woman smiled, her eyes carrying a trace of mockery and sarcasm.
"Since that’s the case, accompany her on her journey then. It’s a pity, with your flower-like beauty."
The man clicked his tongue twice.
If it were in the past, he wouldn’t have let such a woman go.
However, faced with ambition and state affairs, beauty had to be temporarily set aside.
The man let out a soft whistle, emitting a sharp sound.
It was the sound that earlier summoned the Yin Sha.
Within the mist, groups of Yin Sha appeared once more.
"Miss, you must leave, don’t move backward, move forward. Don’t let me drag you down."
Lady Shifei also snapped back from her initial fright.
Naïve as she was, she really believed the woman in front of her was just a passerby.
She watched Master Fengxi getting swallowed by the Yin Yang Road in an attempt to save her, her heart filled with regret. Had she known, she would have heeded his advice and alighted the carriage.
"Lady Shifei, you must remember, to live in this world, always remember one thing, ’Don’t trust the words of a bad person.’"
The woman, as beautiful as the stars, curled her red lips, seemingly oblivious to the menacing Yin Sha.
The Yin Sha charged forward, and Xin Lin threw a punch.
The imposing Ghost God Fist, with one blow, shattered numerous Yin Sha to pieces.
The dark shadow was also slightly shocked.
That aura?
He sensed an indescribable power within the girl.
The Yin Sha that had previously been rushing over also seemed to be intimidated.
"What is the Corpse King to you?"
The dark shadow asked loudly.
The Corpse King, a presence that made the entire Eastern Continent tremble in fear, naturally, the dark shadow had heard of it.
"If you want to know the answer, you can come to find it yourself."
Xin Lin’s eyes flickered with a cold glint.
"I thought tonight it was just a matter of killing someone by chance, but unexpectedly, I caught a big fish. The Corpse King must be related to you, using you as a hostage might definitely exchange for the Fu Tian Pill."
The dark shadow suddenly began to laugh, and the night-black robe on his body responded by tearing apart.
