#537 - Cliff of Death

Jun Wuxie was indeed a little surprised.

The Soul Daughter of the Soul Hunting Hall, her identity and status are equivalent to the Holy Maiden of other forces.

This woman actually came to him alone, swaggering in front of him.

A cold light flashed in Jun Wuxie's eyes. He stretched out his hand, so fast that it was impossible to see clearly, and locked the Soul Daughter's snow-white neck.

He lifted the Soul Daughter up, looked at her coldly, and said nothing.

The Soul Daughter's neck was locked, and looking at his calm and indifferent eyes, an unspeakable psychological pressure quietly grew.

She knew that this man was waiting for her to speak.

She adjusted her mentality and tried her best to make a sound from her throat: "One-armed… one-armed woman…"

With a bang!

Jun Wuxie spread out his palm, his tiger's mouth stuck on the Soul Daughter's chin, and with a twist of his wrist, he heavily pressed her to the ground, shaking the mountain a few times.

The Soul Daughter's veil fell off, revealing her fair and beautiful face.

She was very beautiful, but her complexion was slightly pale, giving people a sense of coldness.

"How is she?"

Jun Wuxie finally spoke, his tone was森冷, with a strong killing intent!

"Her life and death are uncertain. I came here to tell you about her experience…" Saying this, she felt Jun Wuxie's killing intent instantly become extremely intense, and immediately said: "It wasn't us who did it…"

Jun Wuxie looked down at her indifferently, looked at her for a long time, and then slowly released his palm.

He was very uneasy in his heart, so much so that his heart trembled slightly a few times.

"Young Master Jun, come with me."

The Soul Daughter got up, rubbed her red neck, and jumped down the mountain.

Jun Wuxie and Yan Qingcheng followed down the mountain and came to a huge rock, a relatively hidden location.

"Some time ago, she was besieged by the Sea Clan while picking demon spirit fruits. She killed many Sea Clan experts, and she herself was injured."

The Soul Daughter opened her mouth before he could ask.

She was a little afraid of this man. The pressure he gave her was too great. Facing him, she felt a sense of suffocation that was hard to breathe, as if a mountain was pressing on her heart.

"Are you saying that the person picking the demon spirit fruit was her?"

Jun Wuxie and Yan Qingcheng were both a little surprised.

"Yes, I was hiding in the nearby area at the time and witnessed the whole process…" The Soul Daughter said here, her cold eyes had some fluctuations: "That small mountain, only a few hundred meters high, was difficult to walk on. The demon power above was vast, gathering into wind blades, strangling everyone who climbed the mountain. Young Master Jun, do you know how she climbed to the top of the mountain?"

Jun Wuxie's heart contracted, and his lips trembled.

The Soul Daughter looked at the back of her hand. The woman's tears fell on her hand when she left, and the slight coolness was still in her heart, "She endured the strangulation of the wind blades, her whole body was covered in blood, and she climbed to the top of the mountain step by step with her left hand."

"Later, she picked two demon spirit fruits. The vast demon power on the mountain became silent, and the Sea Clan's experts began to hunt her down. I killed two Sea Clan creatures chasing in the front and used the Void Concealment to save her."

"You saved her?"

Jun Wuxie's heart suddenly relaxed when he heard that the one-armed woman had been rescued, but at the same time, he became more vigilant. The Soul Daughter of the Soul Hunting Hall actually took action to save people instead of snatching the demon spirit fruit?

"Yes, I saved her."

"What is your purpose?"

"Because I know you shouldn't want to see her die. I want you to owe me this favor. I have something I need your help with."

Jun Wuxie analyzed how credible the Soul Daughter's words were in his heart, and at the same time guessed her real purpose, but his expression was calm, and he said: "What is it?"

The Soul Daughter shook her head and said: "I will talk about asking you for help later, anyway, it is not urgent."

"Where did she go later?"

Jun Wuxie did not ask what the Soul Daughter wanted him to help with. He only wanted to know the situation of the one-armed woman now.

"She left. I only temporarily helped her escape the pursuit when I saved her at that time, but she killed many Sea Clan creatures, and there will be special Sea Clan aura remaining on her body, which will be difficult to erase within a few days."

Jun Wuxie's heart tightened when he heard this.

"When she left, she had a sentence for me to convey to you."

"What did she say?"

"She said, I'm sorry, but if she could do it again, she would still do it that day."

Jun Wuxie's body trembled, and his heart ached fiercely.

"There is also something she wanted to give you, but she foolishly let me deceive you, let me say that it was me who wanted to express my sincerity and gave it to you myself."

As the Soul Daughter spoke, she took out a purple fruit that glowed with red light, the size of an apricot, like a beautiful gem, filled with fragrance and rich demon spirit energy.

Jun Wuxie looked at the fruit in front of him. He knew that this was the demon spirit fruit that she had picked at a huge price.

"She actually didn't want to believe me, but she finally gave me a demon spirit fruit and asked me to send it to you. Perhaps, she felt that it would be difficult for her to escape the Sea Clan's pursuit, and only in this way would there be a glimmer of hope to help you improve your talent and growth intensity."

The Soul Daughter sighed: "I once asked her, is it worth doing this? But she said, there are many things in the world, what is worth it or not, only willingness or unwillingness, she is really a foolish woman…"

Jun Wuxie lowered his head and looked at the purple-red fruit flowing in his palm, the size of an apricot, but it gave him a sense of heaviness that was difficult to bear.

"Is there any news about her recently?"

His voice had very strong emotional fluctuations, which made Yan Qingcheng feel surprised. Who exactly was that one-armed woman?

"Yes." The Soul Daughter looked at Jun Wuxie, then turned her face to the side and looked at the clear lake water in the distance, and said: "Six days ago, she was driven to a desperate situation by the Sea Clan's pursuit. In order not to fall into the hands of the Sea Clan, she jumped off the Cliff of Extinction."

"That Cliff of Extinction is a very terrifying and ominous place in this demon clan secret land. People from our Soul Hunting Hall know it, and the Sea Clan people also know it. Its ominous name has been widely spread since ancient times."

"Where is the Cliff of Extinction? Do you know?"

Jun Wuxie frowned tightly. He was very uneasy in his heart. If that woman died, he would never be at ease in his life and would live in guilt.

Before he came to Binhai, he would never have thought that when he saw her again, things would have changed.

Her changes made him feel very guilty and uncomfortable.

The Soul Daughter nodded: "If Young Master Jun wants to go, Chen Yu can show you the way."

"Wuxie…"

Yan Qingcheng still didn't dare to trust the woman in front of her. After all, she was the Soul Daughter of the Soul Hunting Hall. How could such an identity allow people to trust her?

What if she was playing tricks and deliberately led Jun Wuxie into a dangerous place?

"Qingcheng, leave the secret land immediately, return to Binhai Ancient Town, and wait for me there!"

"No, if you must go, Qingcheng will go with you."

She hugged his arm and didn't want to let go.

"Be obedient and go back to Binhai Ancient Town to wait for me to return."

"But…"

"Be obedient."

Jun Wuxie stared at her.

"Then you have to take care and don't worry me."

Yan Qingcheng sighed in her heart and reluctantly let go of her hand.

She knew that if she insisted any longer, he would definitely be angry.

"Be sure to return to Binhai to wait for me, and don't stay in the secret land alone. You haven't reached the Legendary Realm yet, so I'm not at ease. Because you are not from the same era as these people, those Half-Saints may attack you!"

After he finished speaking, he put two Thunder Tribulation Fruits in her hand, and summoned the Primordial Incarnation, saying: "My incarnation will escort you out of the secret land!"

Yan Qingcheng was speechless and looked at him very resentfully.

This man was determined to let her leave the secret land. Summoning the incarnation was to prevent him from secretly staying.

"Let's go."

Jun Wuxie said.

"You have to take care!"

Yan Qingcheng stood on tiptoe and kissed him fiercely on the mouth, then turned and left.

With a thought in Jun Wuxie's mind, the incarnation followed behind, neither too close nor too far, under his will control, all the way to escort her.

"Young Master Jun, let's go."

The Soul Daughter flew into the air.

Jun Wuxie instantly caught up with her, covering her with golden blood energy, turning it into a circle, enveloping himself and the Soul Daughter, and said: "Your speed is too slow, show me the way, I will take you with me."

Under the guidance of the Soul Daughter, he flew at more than a thousand times the speed of sound, passing through plains, crossing high mountains and deep valleys, all the way south.

"Young Master Jun, there may be an ambush set up in front of the Cliff of Extinction, you have to be careful."

The Soul Daughter told him about seeing the Holy Gate prodigy whispering with the Three Kings of the Sea Clan not long ago.

She vaguely heard them mention the words "one-armed woman" at that time, and she was worried that if she didn't tell him about this, once he encountered an ambush, Jun Wuxie might suspect that she was colluding with the Sea Clan and deliberately leading him into the trap.

Jun Wuxie didn't speak, but his aura was abnormally cold, causing the Soul Daughter to shiver involuntarily.

This secret land was extremely vast, containing inner space, far more than the simple mountain range seen from the outside.

They flew at high speed for a whole half day, tens of millions of miles, before approaching the destination.

There was a vast mountain range here, and the depths of the mountain range were shrouded in mist and hazy smoke.

"Go in from here, keep walking, and you will see a cliff. In front of the cliff is a gray sea of clouds, and below is the Cliff of Extinction."

According to the Soul Daughter's guidance, Jun Wuxie entered the mountain range.

The mist here was very thick and somewhat strange. It could affect people's pupil techniques, making it impossible to see too far.

Before long, he saw the cliff. There were still traces of battles left here, and occasionally he could even see some broken ice.

"It's here. I saw her jump down from here with my own eyes at that time."

The Soul Daughter said this. She looked around. The Three Kings of the Sea Clan didn't bring anyone to ambush here?

But soon, she reacted.

The Three Kings of the Sea Clan and others were probably still on their way. Their speed was naturally far inferior to Jun Wuxie's.

Jun Wuxie looked at the surging gray sea of clouds in front of the cliff. What kind of scene was below was completely invisible. The Primordial True Eye could not see through it, and the divine sense could not sense it.

“Soul Maiden.”

He turned to look at the Soul Maiden.

“Young Master Jun, my name is Yue Chenyu. I hope you and she can both survive and come back up. When that time comes, Chenyu will seek you out to discuss matters. Chenyu believes that Young Master will definitely be interested.”

“Yue Chenyu, I hope you haven't deceived me!”

Jun Wuxie took a deep look at Yue Chenyu, whose temperament was cold and whose eyes carried a hint of ruthlessness, before leaping off the cliff.

Yue Chenyu rushed to the edge of the cliff and looked down. A trace of worry couldn't help but appear between her cold brows:

“Young Master Jun, you must return alive, otherwise my freedom will be a distant dream…”

She took a deep breath. How much courage did it take to make such a decision?

Since ancient times, no one has dared to betray the Soul Hunting Hall, but she is about to pioneer the unprecedented.

She is unwilling to have her fate dictated by others, not even the Soul Hunting Hall!

As the Soul Maiden of the Soul Hunting Hall, her status seems to be revered, but in reality, the fate of each generation of Soul Maidens is very tragic.

Soul Maidens are prepared for the Soul Sons. Before the Soul Son cultivates to the Saint Realm, the Soul Maiden's status is no lower than the Soul Son's. Once the Soul Son becomes a Saint, the Soul Maiden will be forced to become the Soul Son's plaything, obeying all of the Soul Son's commands.

She stood silently in front of the cliff for a moment, then disappeared into the void, vanishing without a trace.

… …

The gray sea of clouds was heavy, giving people a suffocating sense of oppression.

The cliff was very deep, with no bottom in sight.

On the steep cliff face, a figure dressed in moon-white clothes clung to the protruding rocks on the cliff wall, climbing downwards.

“What on earth is this place?”

Jun Wuxie felt a sense of unease.

He had jumped down earlier, but as soon as he passed through the gray clouds, his body was instantly sucked onto the cliff face.

This cliff face seemed unremarkable, but it possessed a terrifying suction force.

This suction force was also very strange. When a person was stuck to the cliff face, the suction force would weaken significantly. Once a person left the cliff face, that force would instantly increase tenfold, a hundredfold!

This forced him to climb downwards in this manner.

He estimated that he had already climbed downwards for tens of thousands of meters, but it was still bottomless.

The space below seemed to be its own world, very dim, with mysterious forces flowing, making it impossible to see very far with eyesight alone. The pupil technique had almost completely lost its effect.

A strong baleful aura faintly emanated from below the cliff. The further down he climbed, the more terrifying the baleful aura became.

He even faintly heard sounds of fighting and killing. The sound was like a million soldiers charging, occasionally accompanied by the sound of weapons clashing, almost tearing people's eardrums, and like war drums pounding people's hearts.

Continuing downwards in this manner, after climbing for hundreds of thousands of meters, he finally saw the ground.

It was a dark red, pitted and uneven land, scattered with decayed and unrecognizable armor and weapons, as well as broken and rotten bones.

The strong baleful aura rose from the earth like a faint, blood-red mist.

“This is an ancient battlefield?”

Witnessing such a scene, Jun Wuxie had a guess in his heart.

When he was only a hundred meters away from the ground, the suction force of the cliff face suddenly disappeared.

He leaped down and landed on the hard ground.

This was at least a corner of a battlefield from countless years ago, but there was still a faint smell of blood in the soil.

“These bones…”

He observed his surroundings and found that some of the bones were quite special.

Their color actually shimmered with a jade-like luster!

They were significantly different from the other bones.

After all, the years here were incomparably ancient, but why were some bones still well preserved, not decaying with time?

Could it be that they were all extremely powerful experts in life?

But if that were really the case, how could they have been killed by those decayed bones?

Filled with deep doubts, he came to a jade-like skeleton and squatted down to observe it carefully.

“No, it doesn't seem to contain too much energy inside…”

He reached out and touched it. The bone was very smooth, and then his expression froze.

He only felt that the traces of energy remaining in the bone actually produced a very strong repulsive force with the energy in his body.

A strange feeling arose in his heart involuntarily.

That feeling was like the two poles of a magnet, like ice and fire, two extremes that were incompatible.

“How could there be such energy that is so repulsive…”

He was shocked. All kinds of energy in the world can be fused. Even ice and fire can be fused in one furnace through certain methods.

Moreover, he cultivates blood energy, and with the Primordial Gold Body Art, any energy can be transformed. There shouldn't be such a repulsive phenomenon!

There is a problem with these jade-like bones. Who were they in life and what is their origin?
