Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 119 - 118 Huan River

After leaving White Deer Peak, Tie Dan carried Zhen Baiyu and flew northward, then dived into the bottom of Huan River, stealthily swimming away to escape.

Previously, while cultivating by the Gen River, he secretly planned to, upon completing his task, use the Ice River Escape technique to speed southeast along the Gen River, getting as far away as possible. fгeewёbnoѵel_cσm

But plans couldn’t keep up with changes; bringing an extra person significantly increased the consumption of energy. He feared that within two days, his True Qi would be exhausted. If they were caught or encountered unforeseen circumstances, they wouldn’t have the power to resist and could only surrender.

So, Tie Dan decisively changed his plan, turned north, swam along the Huan River, then veered northeast into the territory of Kan Country.

The north was a place of fierce warfare and impending doom, full of deadly peril. Perhaps the Xuanji Monster, fearing calamity, even if able to track them, would not pursue them into the north, getting entangled in other deadly encounters.

Furthermore, Tie Dan, familiar with the northern terrain, thought it better to detour through Shuofang, cross over Yin Mountain, and circle back to Cloud Platform Peak through Kan Country.

Zhen Baiyu expressed indifference, having no home to return to in the vast world. As long as she could stay by Tie Dan’s side, she was content.

"Brother Tie, the antler soup is ready, have a taste."

"You made it?"

After three days of flight without seeing Xuanji Monster in pursuit, and after three consecutive Holy Grail divinations confirming safety, Tie Dan surfaced from the river to take a short break in an abandoned fishing village.

After checking the village for danger, he returned to find Zhen Baiyu had prepared a medicinal dish.

She had sliced the remaining antler, added some wild mushrooms and millet, and found dried fish in the house to stew it together.

"Of course, I made it. Ever since I acquired the Blood Jade, I’ve been dreaming of that shadow. She taught me to make it, and the cooking is just right."

Zhen Baiyu tasted a bit, full of confidence, and served a bowl to Tie Dan.

Tie Dan looked skeptical, yet the Kun leaped out and licked it, giving its approval.

Zhen Baiyu, pleased, reached out to stroke the Kun’s head,

"See, even the Kun likes it. Drink more, and grow into a great Peng soon."

The Kun responded with "Tons tons tons!"

A great Peng? Tie Dan flipped through the Daoist Collection, used his Divine Sense, and inhaled sharply in surprise.

Realizing this creature is that Kun of the Kunpeng! How astounding! Fish truly cannot be judged by appearance... but wait, isn’t that even worse? The size of the Kun is unknown for thousands of miles, and this little guy is so tiny now. When will it ever transform into a Peng?

Oh right, didn’t the Pao Pao Ancestor mention it? It has forty-eight thousand years before reaching maturity, so never mind...

So Tie Dan ignored the Kun, drank some of the antler soup, and indeed felt a warm flow soothing his lungs and stomach, spreading through his meridians, dispelling the fatigue from these days, warming him as if filled with fire, eliminating the dampness from being underwater for days. With this superior Heavenly Material Treasure, his combat power returned to its peak.

The Demon Sect Saintess’s methods are indeed formidable; just a few days ago she was a sheltered lady who never lifted a finger, yet after a few days of sound sleep, she mastered a cooking skill.

Having been on the run underwater for days, the two were also very hungry and finished the antler soup, changed into clean clothes, intending to have a good night’s rest.

At least Tie Dan truly wanted a good night’s rest, but once settled, with bodies close together, Zhen Baiyu couldn’t restrain herself.

She tossed and turned all night, her body burning like fire, constantly sticking close to ’Shuang’er’, finally unable to hold back, the medicinal effects fully activating, leading her into a daze as she forcibly pounced!

Tie Dan found the nightly assault of Zhen Baiyu exasperating, but fortunately, the Demon Sect Saintess was also subjected to the Heavenly Dao’s restrictions. With one punch from Tie Dan, she was knocked unconscious, allowing him a moment of peace. Well, just a moment, as she snored like thunder, unbelievably loud after being knocked out.

Having rested a short night, on the fourth day of the escape, Tie Dan had recovered his Qi power, with the added support of the antler, fully charged his Turbo Technique twice.

Zhen Baiyu, however, was unable to release her pent-up frustration, with bloodshot eyes glaring at Tie Dan as if he had been possessed by a demon with her despairing gaze...

Alas, such peaceful times are always fleeting; that Xuanji Monster was always near, ready to silence them at any moment, so the two certainly couldn’t stay long in the fishing village.

Moreover, Tie Dan being a Heavenly Evil Star, and Zhen Baiyu a femme fatale, what could two Broom Stars together result in anyway? Soon, new trouble inevitably found them, or rather, they blundered into trouble.

Resuming their eastward journey along the Huan River, in less than half a day’s travel, the plan to swim along the river quickly became unfeasible.

The river ahead was literally blocked by a mountain of corpses.

This was perhaps the result of the prior battle between Kan and Gen, where defeated soldiers were driven into the water, slaughtered several tens of thousands, their bodies floating in the river, turning the water blood red. The stench attracted demons and beasts downstream, competing to devour the bodies, blocking the river with floating corpses and monster fish.

Thus, Tie Dan and Zhen Baiyu had to come ashore again to avoid demons, but soon they encountered a field of corpses, seemingly another battlefield where the enemies were routed northward.

The entire area was filled with dismembered bodies, a blood-soaked morass resembling a muddy swamp.

The slaughtered Gen Army graveyard, headless bodies skewered on spear tips, standing as a dense forest, decapitated heads piled into a mound to display military achievements. Demons and wild dogs roamed freely between corpse hills, feasting to their hearts’ content.

And those Left Dao Demon Cultivators gathered there, with Demon Qi pervasive and Demon Light soaring into the sky, retreating here to cultivate various Evil Techniques in this endless mountain of corpses and sea of blood.

"Ji Ji! Where did these little ladies come from? Offering yourselves on a silver platter! I’ll take them with pleasure!"

In this sea of blood, they had hardly advanced a few steps when a tattooed monk burst out laughing, raising a stinking wind, tossing a sack toward them.

You know, this sack was quite professional, highly functional, expanding with the wind to cover the sky, first blowing a blinding gust, then unleashing immobilization talismans like cockroaches to smother them, two ropes shot out to bind them, and finally, the bag enveloped them, capturing the ’little ladies’.

Moreover, the sack was densely inscribed with scriptures, seemingly some kind of Enchanting Spell, leaving ordinary people dizzy and dazed upon seeing it, losing their spirits, enchanted by the spell. Even a cultivator could be caught if unwary.

But such Left Dao sorcery was useless against the Primordial Spirit Secret Talisman of the Upper God Sect...

Zhen Baiyu was shocked, "’Shuang’er’! What do we do! We’ve been captured again!"

Tie Dan was speechless, "What are you panicking for, if someone can take us a few steps further, isn’t that better? I’d rather be passed around multiple times, so that old monster can’t track us."

Though saying this, caution was still a priority, so Tie Dan removed a talisman from the back of his head, spat out the Taibai Sword Embryo, merged it between his hands at his wrist, then closed his eyes, pretending to have fainted.

Zhen Baiyu, seeing him so steady, had no choice but to hold her breath, clinging tightly to ’Shuang’er’s’ arm, not daring to make a sound.

They didn’t wait long before the demon monk removed the talisman, releasing them from the bag, loudly shouting,

"Let’s drink heartily today! Thanks to all my brothers! Here! The newly captured tender lambs, enjoy, brothers!"

Tie Dan rolled to his feet, quickly scanned around, finding himself in a cave abode, seeing the tattooed monk and three other evil people feasting and drinking.

These four were all mixed cultivators of Core Formation, but the tattooed monk appeared the most normal-looking. Despite his brutish face, he was at least vaguely recognizable as human. The other three – one with a black face and tattoos, seemingly inhuman; one with protruding fangs, ghostlike; and another simply with a tiger head, evidently a monster not fully transformed.

The stone table at the feast was laden with delicacies of pan-fried human hearts, braised ribs, and brains in salads. Below the table lay severed limbs, countless carcasses, the entire place a demonic Purgatory.

Zhen Baiyu had never seen such a scene, and collapsed to the ground, almost fainting from the sight.

This reaction was normal, but ’Shuang’er’ still standing with a cold face was quite memorable.

Thus, the black-faced monster laughed heartily, stretching out an arm until a giant hand emerged, seizing ’Shuang’er’ tightly!

"Isn’t this a Xuanji Sect disciple! Haha! Great! I like the spicy ones! Chew with gusto!"

The black-faced monster laughed, keeping ’the little lady’ locked effortlessly with his long arm, then opened his maw revealing yellow teeth, spitting a smoky vapor at ’Shuang’er’.

Seeing him so eager, ’Shuang’er’ smiled gently, and with a smooth motion, the Taibai Sword Embryo was sent into its mouth, a flash of golden light, piercing into its Divine Court.

Then the turbo revved up! Burst through the hide! Shooting out of the orifice and into the air! Landing on its head with a pressing hand, "Poof!" the black head burst open, yanking out the sword embryo smeared with brains! One demon slain!

"Big brother, why do you always rush, making such a bloody mess..."

The remaining three demons, drunk with feasting, didn’t immediately react to the big brother exploding, bleary-eyed, mistaken that he squeezed too hard, spurting out the little lady’s flesh.

So Tie Dan wasted no time, waved his right hand, Xuanjian Treasure Sword’s green blade sharply cleaving through demon heads. The left hand gestured, Gold Star Taibai’s shining light, flying blades severed ghostly necks.

Three demons instantly slain!

The tattooed monk sobered up in terror, shouted, and fully unleashed his Bursting Qi!, leaping toward the cave exit!

But with his mere mixed cultivator ability, how could he escape from Tie Dan?

In the blink of an eye, green light flourished, sword winds dancing wildly, Tie Dan stepped forward, swiftly slashing the monk, severing his limbs, slicing the nasty odor-filled body to shreds, soil scattered with the tattoo pattern like a broken jigsaw.

Once Zhen Baiyu recovered her senses, she saw within the cave four demons, one with a pierced skull, one with a split face, another decapitated, and the last diced by chaotic swords, wailing on the ground, all annihilated...

However, having been holding back for too long, Tie Dan felt unsatisfied, grabbed the monk’s scalp, and with a sword gouged out an eye, saying,

"Scream again, summon your nearby buddies to join the feast."
