Chapter 111: The Obsessive Ning Tou and the Great Escape



As Qi Yuan spoke, everyone's gaze fell upon the bloody sphere.

"Skyheart Palace Pavilion Master, what explanation do you have now? How is he not the Blood Demon?"

The seven Supreme Beings looked at Qi Yuan, but they didn't sense the terrifying aura on him.

They also knew that the Blood Demon had not yet fully formed and was not worth their concern.

Ning Tou turned around and looked at Qi Yuan behind her, her eyes filled with resentment, "You finally decided to come and see me."

Qi Yuan looked at Ning Tou's injuries, his emotions complex.

"You can just leave me behind."

After all, this bloody sphere is not Qi Yuan's true body."

Even if it's damaged, it won't affect him in the slightest.

Ning Tou raised her head, her eyes stubborn, "I won't disappear like someone else for decades or even centuries."

She turned around again, looking at the seven Supreme Beings surrounding them, "I said, no one can hurt you, so no one can hurt you!"

The aura of Primordial Energy enveloped Ning Tou, and she seemed to merge with the world.

Upon seeing this, the seven Supreme Beings' faces turned cold, and they too merged with the world.

Qi Yuan remained calm and said, "You will die... Why do this? We barely know each other and have only exchanged a few words."

Qi Yuan couldn't quite understand Ning Tou's thoughts.

In his eyes, Ning Tou was like an obsessive child.

"Hmph," Ning Tou scoffed.

She didn't feel like explaining herself to Qi Yuan.

How could he, a mere man, understand her thoughts and feelings?

"I never thought that the Skyheart Palace Pavilion Master would be bewitched by the Blood Demon and fall into the realm of love!" one of the Supreme Beings laughed.

"Haha... Demoness... Love..." The other female Supreme Being's smile was even more mocking.

Everyone knew that demonesses were cursed by heaven and earth, and anyone who laid eyes on them would feel disgust, considering them the ugliest beings in the world.

The idea of a demoness having love was the most laughable thing in the world.

How could anyone fall in love with a demoness?

"Have you laughed enough?" Ning Tou's face turned cold, "Either get lost or... die!"

This was the first time Qi Yuan had seen such a cold side of Ning Tou.

She was like a stray cat, wary of the world, showing her most aggressive side to face the world.

"It seems like the Skyheart Palace Pavilion Master wants to die here with this Blood Demon today," the female Supreme Being wasn't bothered and instead smiled radiantly.

At this moment, Ning Tou's voice transmission entered Qi Yuan's ear, "I have good news. When the fight begins, I'll release your restraints. You can run as far as you can."

Hearing this, Qi Yuan said, "Actually, I've already left."

This bloody sphere was not Qi Yuan's true body; it was just the flesh and blood he had once inhabited.

Ning Tou fell silent for a moment, then said, "Actually... I knew."

Qi Yuan smiled.

"Even if I had reached the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment, I wouldn't be a match for a siege by seven Supreme Beings."

Ning Tou wasn't surprised.

In her eyes, Qi Yuan was just an ordinary Supreme Being.

Especially since he was from another realm and restricted by the world's rules, he couldn't fully display his power as a Supreme Being.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been trapped by her so easily.

"You just need to leave and not drag me down," Ning Tou said with disdain.

"I can't leave," Qi Yuan said seriously, "They're framing me as the Blood Demon and want me to die here. Auntie can bear it, but Uncle can't!"

"What do you mean?" Ning Tou was puzzled.

"I want to borrow your power to kill them."

"Tsk, you, a foreigner, know more about the Primordial Energy of Windflow Realm than we, the Supreme Beings of this realm, do?"

The Primordial Energy is different in every world.

In the Canglan Realm, the strong cultivators who control the Primordial Energy are known as the Purple Mansion Cultivators.

But if they were to come to the Windflow Realm, they would only be considered half a Supreme Being.

Because the Primordial Energy is different here.

"You underestimate me!" Qi Yuan said proudly, "I know this realm's Primordial Energy better than anyone!"

Qi Yuan had once fought against nearly a hundred old men in Earth's End.

Those old men all used the Primordial Energy of the Windflow Realm.

Qi Yuan had been injured by various Primordial Energies in this realm, and he remembered them all too well.

"Kill!" The seven Supreme Beings launched their attacks.

As soon as they made their move, they unleashed their legendary Primordial Divine Abilities.

Seven Primordial Divine Abilities surged towards Ning Tou.

Even someone as powerful as Ning Tou seemed thin and powerless against these seven Primordial Divine Abilities.

She couldn't block them all at once and had to endure a few of them.

Just then, Qi Yuan's voice transmission reached her, "Gather the power of man and demon in your dantian, disperse it through your palms, and let it flow in the void..."

Qi Yuan's words were rapid, entering Ning Tou's ears.

Ning Tou was a bit surprised but followed his instructions.

She was like a carp in the vast ocean, rolling and dodging the Primordial Divine Abilities that attacked from different directions and levels.

She completely blocked all seven Primordial Divine Abilities!

Ning Tou's face showed surprise, "How did you do that?"

The seven Supreme Beings were even more shocked than Ning Tou.

Ning Tou's dodging of their Primordial Divine Abilities showed an extreme understanding of their techniques, as if they were facing their own abilities.

This was impossible!

Because they would never reveal their most powerful techniques to others.

"What kind of method did you use? How did you know?"

"Hmph, why should I tell you?"

Qi Yuan's assistance delighted Ning Tou, but the danger wasn't over yet, so she couldn't let her guard down.

She hid within the sky, her long whip dancing as thunderous sounds echoed in the heavens.

The seven Supreme Beings' faces turned solemn, "We must kill her!"

Their Primordial Divine Abilities had been seen through, and if this knowledge spread, they would be the weakest among their peers when facing opponents of the same level.

"Capture her while she's heavily injured!" the female Supreme Being commanded.

The seven Supreme Beings held nothing back, unleashing their Primordial Divine Abilities.

Qi Yuan stood nearby, speaking rapidly and continuously transmitting instructions to Ning Tou.

It was thanks to Qi Yuan's guidance that Ning Tou could truly withstand the seven Supreme Beings.

Otherwise, how could the heavily injured Ning Tou be a match for them?

Half a day later, in a desolate desert.

Ning Tou fell from the sky like a broken kite, her face pale, her black skirt now stained red with blood.

"Cough... I escaped..."

With the danger gone, Ning Tou seemed to become more carefree.

"Husband does care about me after all. I never thought that husband would understand their Primordial Divine Abilities so well?"

Ning Tou's voice was low, sounding weak.

"What happened, and why are they saying I'm the Blood Demon?" Qi Yuan inquired.

He had only been gone for a decade or so.

Ning Tou had imprisoned the Blood Orb within an underground palace, and in theory, aside from Ning Tou, no one should have known about the Blood Orb's existence.

Ning Tou's exquisite face turned cold, "Nine years ago, for some unknown reason, news of the Blood Demon's presence in my Skyheart Palace suddenly spread throughout the Northern Lands."

Later, several Supreme Beings came to visit my Skyheart Palace as guests, and they suddenly attacked me.

After that... your identity was exposed."

Ning Tou continued, expressing her helplessness, "I was relentlessly pursued by over a dozen Supreme Beings, constantly fleeing for my life."

Ning Tou was certain that she had never revealed Qi Yuan's existence.

Even the Supreme Beings of Skyheart Palace were unaware of Qi Yuan's presence.

As a result, the news of the Blood Demon in Skyheart Palace emerged out of nowhere.

It was as if someone was targeting Ning Tou, deliberately spreading false rumors, only to suddenly discover that the fake news was true.

"You should have let me go," Qi Yuan said.

Due to the Blood Demon's involvement, Ning Tou had been hunted by over a dozen Supreme Beings for nearly a decade, suffering severe injuries.

If I had let you go, none of this would have happened.

"Husband, are you feeling sorry for me?" Ning Tou looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes gleaming with a proud smile, "I've told you, I won't abandon you."

Qi Yuan gazed at Ning Tou's half-revealed exquisite face, and he couldn't help but ask, "I'm curious about demons, can I see the other half of your face?"

While at Nine Coils Mountain, he hadn't heard that the character 'demon' was engraved on the face of a demoness.

Even the Great Demon, or the Buddha, the demoness he was with, didn't have the 'engraved' character on her face.

What did the word 'demon' truly mean?

Why were they so despised by the world?

He wanted to see the true face behind the veil.

"No!" Ning Tou's reaction was a bit exaggerated, her eyes glanced at Qi Yuan, "I won't let you see it."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yuan didn't insist.

"You should heal first." Qi Yuan fell silent, his emotions towards Ning Tou were complex.

In ancient times, Zhao Zilong escorted Liu Shan seven times in and out, riding alone for a thousand miles.

Today, Ning Tou leads him in a great escape across the Northern Lands.

Ning Tou didn't say anything further and began to focus on healing her injuries.

As night fell, Qi Yuan didn't leave the Blood Orb to go to No Return City.

He remained by Ning Tou's side.

At this moment, Ning Tou was asleep with her eyes closed, her severe injuries plunging her into a deep slumber. The healing technique was still in motion, gradually mending her petite body.

She frowned, her body curled to the side, revealing slender jade-like feet beneath her dress, and her five delicate toes were curled up, even as a Supreme Being a Supreme Being, she still exuded a sense of extreme insecurity.

Qi Yuan gazed at Ning Tou's face, his expression unreadable, as if deep in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, a voice, tinged with the sound of crying, echoed.

"Am I very ugly now, why haven't you come to see me yet?"

The voice belonged to Ning Tou, her eyes brimming with tears, "I've been waiting for you."

Her body and toes were curled up, and her face showed helplessness.

Her eyes, which had been closed, now opened, and she stared at Qi Yuan, a hint of surprise in her eyes, "You didn't leave?"

"You're talking in your sleep again," Qi Yuan said, this being the third time he heard Ning Tou speaking in her sleep, "I didn't expect a Supreme Being to talk in their sleep."

The content of her sleep talking was the same as the previous two times.

"I didn't!" Ning Tou thought of something, her half-revealed face blushed, her peach-like face even more alluring, "Even if I talk in my sleep, it has nothing to do with you!"

"I didn't say it had anything to do with you," Qi Yuan said calmly.

"Hmph!" Ning Tou turned away, unwilling to look at Qi Yuan.

However, she tightly gripped the chain that bound Qi Yuan, her grip strong.

"Are you really the Blood Demon? If not, how could you see the flaws in their Primordial Divine Abilities?" After a long while, Ning Tou's slightly cold voice sounded, "Is that why everyone wants to kill the Blood Demon?"

Ning Tou had a guess in her heart.

She never believed that the Blood Demon was a calamity to the world.

After all, the 'demoness' represented disaster.

"I'm not that damn Blood Demon!" Qi Yuan didn't think he was the Blood Demon.

Even at Nine Coils Mountain, he was known as the Blood Lord.

The Golden Canary also called him Blood Droplet, what did that have to do with the Blood Demon?

"But everyone in the world will think you're the Blood Demon, so you might as well be the Blood Demon," Ning Tou said, a hint of worry flashed in her eyes, and then she laughed, "The demoness and the Blood Demon are a match made in heaven."

"If I say I'm not the Blood Demon, will you believe me?"

"I believe you," Ning Tou said after a few breaths, her voice soft.

The second half of her sentence was left unspoken, 'I believe you, but the world needs to believe it.'

"That dog-piss Supreme Being, insisting that I'm the Blood Demon, if I meet him, I'll give him a good beating."

"I'll beat him up with you, husband," Ning Tou smiled.

"With your small frame, it's better to focus on healing, if we're pursued again, even with my help, it'll be hard to survive," Qi Yuan spoke truthfully.

His help to Ning Tou was significant, but it couldn't change her current situation.

There were so many Supreme Beings in the Northern Lands, and they were unharmed, not like the old man in Earth's End.

If Ning Tou wanted to change the situation, the only way was to abandon Qi Yuan.

"I'm used to being pursued," Ning Tou smiled, "In the past, I was alone, but now... I have you by my side, what's there to fear?"

...

Decades passed in the blink of an eye.

Over these decades, Ning Tou and Qi Yuan faced countless sieges and pursuits, and Qi Yuan encountered over a hundred different Supreme Beings.

With Qi Yuan's guidance and help, Ning Tou narrowly escaped many dangers.

However, her injuries inevitably became more severe.

Qi Yuan didn't stay by Ning Tou's side all the time; he often returned to No Return City, exterminating demonic beasts, and his strength continued to grow.

Qi Yuan's strength had reached level 109, only 11 levels away from level 120, the level of this world's Supreme Beings.

In a clear pool, Ning Tou, wearing a black dress, revealed her white, tender feet, and she slowly entered the water.

The pool instantly turned red, and then the red disappeared.

"Back then, it was by this pool that I first heard your voice," Ning Tou's face showed a hint of reminiscence.

In the past, the young her was pursued by many.

It was here that she heard Qi Yuan's voice.

Her dull life began to change.

The cold water enveloped her skin, but she felt a sense of weariness.

Over the past few decades, the relentless battles have still injured her Primordial Energy.

Her life force was precarious, and she could fall at any moment.

Ning Tou looked at Qi Yuan with an indescribable expression. "Husband, can I see what you really look like? I'm truly curious."

"I'm also very curious about your other face. If you let me see it, I'll show you my true appearance." Qi Yuan naturally wouldn't let his true body appear before Ning Tou. "Don't even think about tricking me with a video if you don't send a photo."

The obsessive Ning Tou might lock him up here.

"Forget it." Her exquisite head half-submerged in the water, Ning Tou gently blew on the surface, rippling the water. "It's better not to let Husband see. Otherwise, Husband might end up like those others, fighting and killing me."

She would never let Qi Yuan see half of her face.

She didn't want the only person she still cared about in this world to hate her.

However, Ning Tou seemed not to give up: "Why does Husband hold such a fixation on that half of my face? Anyway, it's late, Husband can pretend I'm someone else. I can even wear black stockings, and let you do whatever you want. I'm very pure, don't tempt me." Qi Yuan refused.

Although the Sin Origin's lust had influenced Qi Yuan, he didn't want to be a slave to pure desire.

When emotions were at their peak, everything would naturally fall into place.

The two didn't speak, and Ning Tou quietly soaked in the water.

After about a quarter of an hour, Qi Yuan suddenly asked, "Do you know the strength of the Supreme Being and the White Emperor?"

He was now level 109, still a minor player in the north-south conflict.

He wanted to understand the strength of the Supreme Being and the White Emperor to grasp the upper limit of the combat power in this world.

"The Supreme Being and the White Emperor..." Ning Tou's eyes showed a serious expression, "If they wanted to, they could kill me with a single finger."

"So strong?" Qi Yuan was somewhat surprised.

Ning Tou wasn't weak among the Supremes.

A single finger could kill her.

Translated to the Canglan Realm, would that be a Yin Deity?

Thinking of the power of a Yin Deity, Qi Yuan felt immense pressure.

Even the incomplete Yin Deity of the Great Sun had been a great challenge for him, let alone having two full-fledged Yin Deities in this world.

"Looks like I still need to be low-key and not expose myself too early to the big bosses," Qi Yuan thought.

Recently, a handsome young man came to No Return City, claiming to be a disciple of the White Emperor.

The handsome young man had even invited Qi Yuan to the White Emperor's Palace.

Go to hell!

At least he needed to reach level 99999 before he had the confidence to meet the White Emperor.

Thinking of the real world, he faced the Bright Palace, which might have a Yin Deity-level combatant.

Qi Yuan frowned, "Ning Tou, do you think a powerful Overlord has a chance to kill the Supreme Being?"

An Overlord was equivalent to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Canglan Realm.

Ning Tou couldn't help but smile, "Husband, you're being too fanciful."

"If an Overlord won't do, what about a powerful Guardian?"

In the real world, he was still below the Guardian level, only at the Core Formation stage.

Ning Tou continued to laugh, "Even the most powerful Guardian can't do it."

A Guardian-level combatant could be killed with a single breath from Ning Tou.

"What if the Guardian was as big as Ultraman?" Ning Tou was the strongest being Qi Yuan had met who could have a proper conversation, and as a late-stage Supreme, he naturally had to ask more.

If it gave him some insights, he could use them against the Bright Palace.

To deal with the Bright Palace, Qi Yuan needed Yin Deity-level combat power to sleep well at night.

Otherwise, he would be restless and uneasy.

"I don't know how big Ultraman is, but if Ultraman were as big as the Windflow Realm, perhaps this Guardian could really kill the Supreme Being."

"A Guardian as big as the Windflow Realm?"

Qi Yuan was startled, a flash of inspiration lighting up his mind.

Ning Tou had a point.

If... he could form a Golden Core as big as the Windflow Realm, wouldn't dropping that Golden Core directly crush the Bright Palace?

Such a Golden Core would be incredibly powerful and awe-inspiring.

Whoever he didn't like, he could just drop the Golden Core on them.

This was far more powerful than the Golden Core formed from the Sin Origin he had previously imagined.

Qi Yuan became more and more excited, "Ning Tou, you're really smart, even smarter than my wise brain."

However, after some thought, Qi Yuan felt quite helpless.

Such a large Golden Core... where would he get it?

Even if he had an excavator and could dig the Windflow Realm as he pleased, he would never be able to dig it out and turn it into his Golden Core, even if he dug until the seas dried up and the rocks crumbled.

Thinking about this, Qi Yuan felt both hopeful and hopeless.

He stopped thinking about Immortal Golden Cores. An Immortal Golden Core couldn't compare to... turning an entire world into a Golden Core.

Such a Golden Core would truly be worthy of the Heavenly Dao Foundation Establishment!

Ning Tou didn't say anything more and continued to soak in the water.

Qi Yuan, using his clever brain, pondered the feasibility of turning the Windflow Realm or another world into his Golden Core.

The Great Sun was truly a genius!

Qi Yuan felt that the Daydreaming Scripture was becoming more and more suitable for him.

An unknown amount of time passed.

"Husband..." Ning Tou's voice became soft and sweet, just like the first time Qi Yuan heard it.

Qi Yuan stopped thinking and looked over. The water rippled, and Ning Tou's eyes were filled with anticipation.

"If I'm gone, can you show me your true appearance?"

"Don't set yourself up for failure." Qi Yuan said, his voice filled with regret, "If you had let me go earlier, everything would have been fine. Now you've offended the entire Northern Land. Even if you let me go now, it won't make a difference."

Ning Tou's strength was formidable.

Over the past few decades, she had killed six Supremes.

Currently, in the Northern Land, the number one wanted criminal was the Blood Demon, and the second was Ning Tou.

"I said I wouldn't let you go, and I won't."

"I'm not as heartless as Husband, abandoning me and leaving me alone and miserable." Ning Tou's voice was soft and seemed to carry a hint of crying.

Qi Yuan didn't take it entirely seriously.

How much of what Ning Tou said was true?

But her words touched him deeply.

He needed to level up quickly, to level 120, to enhance his strength.

He wanted to return to Nine Coils Mountain.

Each time, he had left without a proper farewell.

He asked Ning Tou, "Have I ever left you?"

They had never met, so how could it be considered leaving?
