Choice (I)
ng Qi was ready when she turned around. She hadn’t gotten off the cliff yet, but the silver dical knife was already in her hand. For cultivators, the distance between her and Ji Wujiong’s cliffs was not wide. It was an easy pass in normal circumstances, unless the fissure was filled with devil aura waves attacking anyone who tried to cross.
Seemingly perceiving ng Qi’s intention, the waves intensified in their rage. One after another, they slamd into the cliff frantically. The earth-shaking montum seed to be about to knock down the entire cliff at any mont.
ng Qi stopped on the edge of the cliff. She now had more than ten tis more aura in her body. With a thought of her mind, a sliver of aura flown out via the tip of her silver knife as she drew an array on the ground. ng Qi had already clasping a handful of spirit stones in her left hand. Once she finished drawing, a flick of her fingers sent eight ninth-grade spirit stones to fly toward the array without delay.
In the blink of an eye, the array activated.
Amidst the soft light, a group of ghost puppets erged from the ground. The little white figures received ng Qi’s order and rushed towards the cliff.
The ghost puppets overlapped each other. In an instant, they ford a bridge connecting the cliff on ng Qi’s side with Ji Wujiong’s.
“Huh?” The woman’s gentle voice rang again, “You actually…” She seed to sigh softly: “Why do you do this?”
ng Qi did not reply. As soon as the ghost puppets began to form the bridge, she had already rushed forward and stood on the edge of the cliff. She was only one step away from the bridge made from dozens of small ghost puppets. It looked narrow and flimsy. Even if only one person crossed, the bridge looked very dangerous.
More and more ghost puppets erged from the ground. So began to climb onto ng Qi, protecting her body like a makeshift armor.
Unlike previous tis with the stones or the box ng Qi threw, the huge waves from the black sea didn’t attack the bridge at all. On the contrary, the devil aura seed to be gentle towards the ghost puppets. After ng Qi summoned them, the huge waves that were hitting the cliff suddenly beca quieter.
ng Qi took a deep breath. She was actually making a bet here. In the beginning, she had no idea what kind of devil aura filled the sea. But the Senior’s words made her realize that this should be Ji Wujiong’s heart demon1. Those devil aura would swallow everything, but they might treat those of the sa origin kindly.
ng Qi decided to use Ji Wujiong’s array and summoned these ghost puppets. Sure enough, her bet was paid off. Those devil aura didn’t attack the ghost puppets.
ng Qi took a deep breath and tightened the grip on her knife.
“Young Daoist.” The woman’s voice called again, “If you don’t cross, the cliff is the only safe place. Once you leave it, the devil aura will gain a chance to break through the barrier around the cliff.” She paused and then continued: “At that ti, you will end up accompanying him to perish here.”
“Thank you, Senior.” ng Qi bowed respectfully once again. She then turned her gaze to the opposite cliff, where the black-robed young man was lying motionless. ng Qi herself was actually not sure whether the choice she made at this ti was correct or not. However, she knew one thing for sure: even given a hundred chances, she would still refuse to leave alone.
Therefore, there was no need to hesitate!
ng Qi clenched her knife tightly and began to sprint. The little ghost puppets protected her layer by layer, while a rickety narrow bridge was the only support under her feet.
The mont ng Qi stepped out of the cliff, the sea of devil aura suddenly regained their fierceness and beca frantic again. The huge waves were beating against the sky. The gloomy wind roared, making a sharp and piercing sound. Even the black clouds in the sky were spinning up quickly, as if about to smash down the next mont.
There was another peculiar movent in the middle of the black sea, just about to gush out to the surface. A huge ancient fierce beast seed to be hiding there, and the entire sea of devil aura was stirred around it.
As the sea rose higher and higher, the black devil aura finally saw through the cover and imdiately rushed towards ng Qi. The ghost puppets guarding ng Qi were instantly lted by the devil aura and turned into light smoke clouds before disappearing completely.
ng Qi held her breath and hid her aura as much as possible as she kept dashing forward. The distance between the two cliffs was originally not long, and her speed had improved much after breaking through into the Golden Core stage. In just a few steps, ng Qi would arrive on Ji Wujiong’s side of the cliff.
A wave of devil aura suddenly swept up, touching the small bridge ford from ng Qi’s ghost puppets. The ghost puppets imdiately lted. They were replaced by black devil aura, and the entire bridge shook violently.
The wave of devil aura turned its head and directly rushed towards ng Qi.
ng Qi had her silver knife ready in her hand. She had briefly practiced the Yinyue Sword Technique, but was still not familiar with it. At this mont, however, she had no other choice. The silver dical knife drew a cross in the air and attacked the incoming devil aura.
A red light flashed on the pitch-black aura — it seed that ng Qi’s attack had successfully hard it. The devil aura retreated suddenly, almost falling back into the black sea below. But in the next instant, it rushed out again, this ti with even greater montum. It quickly rolled upwards and pulled the silver dical knife in ng Qi’s hand.
“Ah——” She shouted.Heart demon(心魔 xīnmó) sotis translated as ‘internal demon’ is cultivators’ negative emotions and other ntal barriers which hinder their training/cultivation. In so cases, heart demon can even attack the cultivators from the inside, and failure to adequately resist them may result in Qi Deviation
