Dozens of black clothed men gently descended from the sky, and instantly surrounded Hong Dan and the others, so close that even the wind wouldn't be able to pass through.

”Iron-blood, serve these delicate girls well. You have to see who the target is, even if you are a newborn calf.”

Ye Shishuang's eyes swept one round coldly, and formed a faintly discernable sneer, as he spoke indifferently.

Hearing that, the leading black clothed man's eyes turned cold, he raised his bright blade and slashed towards Hong Dan and the rest.

The sound of swords clanging could be heard in the dark cold palace. It was especially ear-piercing in the night.

Seeing this, Ye Shishuang held onto his chest that was stinging from the pain, and suddenly flew in the direction that Bai Zhixi disappeared to.

Today, she had to obtain the blood bead.

However, just as she was about to leave the ground, she was hit back by a strong gust of air, which slammed into the wall of the cold palace, and then fell back into the mud.

Only after a long while did she slowly wake up. What entered her eyes was the pitch-black night sky without her five fingers, and the ear-piercing sounds of swords and sabers beside her ears.

It was as if his body was being torn to shreds. Just a slight movement would cause a heart-wrenching pain.

Just now, she clearly felt that she had been hit by a palm. The biting cold killing intent was something she had never seen before.

She didn't even have the chance to see if that person was a man or a woman before she was knocked off her feet.

When did Bai Zhixi have such a powerful expert beside him?

This was not a good thing for her.

As he was thinking, his heart suddenly turned upside down. He spat out a mouthful of blood and then passed out.

Under the dim light of the candle, he could vaguely see an old woman standing at the door of the cold palace. Her back was hunched and her eyes emitted a bright light. She was expressionless as she watched everything that was happening in the courtyard.

When he saw Ye Shishuang unconscious on the ground, the corner of his mouth hooked up into a cold smile, and he disappeared into the pitch-black cold palace.

On Bai Zhixi's side, before he even reached the forest on the western side of the capital, the Plum Blossom bloomed.

However, she was extremely clear-headed at the moment. She summoned the Spirit Butterfly in her body, placed Bei Chu and Nangong Xuan into the encirclement of the Spirit Butterfly, and used a hand to summon them to the forest.

Not long later, Fu Lingtian was left several hundred li behind by them.

To the south of the capital, the pitch-black forest was known as the ”Forest of Death”. It was a forbidden area for the people of the world.

There were martial artists who didn't believe this person's words, so they headed towards the Forest of Death in droves in an attempt to break the prophecy passed down by their ancestors.

However, those people had never come out ever since they went in. In fact, a few years later, the descendants of the younger generation found large amounts of human bones outside the Forest of Death.

However, the people of the world did not give up on exploring because of this. Every year, there would be people entering, but not a single person would come out.

Tonight, Bai Zhixi was only concerned with escaping, and did not want to reveal her identity as the Phoenixis Maiden, so she ran into the Forest of Death in a daze.

”Miss, according to the general of this old man, the Black Forest is filled with man-eating demons. We are doomed this time.”

In the pitch-black forest, there was a pungent smell coming from everywhere. There was the smell of rotting trees, and there was also the smell of rotting corpses.

Gu Yinuo carefully followed behind Bai Zhixi. In front of him was pitch-black darkness, he fearfully pulled at Bai Zhixi's clothes.

”Yi, don't be afraid!” There are no ghosts in this world. The sky is full of light. We will definitely find our way back. ”

Bai Zhixi heavily patted her shoulder, his tone unwavering and unquestionable.

However, in her heart, she was extremely uncertain. Something that had never been accomplished by any previous generation of heroes, how could it be accomplished by just the same person?

The situation was pressing. Since she was already here, she didn't believe that the forest was that mysterious.

The deeper they went, the more humid it became. A dense wave of hot air sprayed over, giving off a warm feeling.

At this moment, the sky was starting to brighten up, and he could clearly see everything around him.

The previous wave of heat had come from right in front of them. Even though they were separated by the lush and verdant forest, they could still see the heat radiating from the trees.

Hot springs?

Bai Zhixi was overjoyed. He didn't care about the headache coming on in his body, as he pulled Gu Yinuo and ran towards that direction.

Northern Chuchu and Fan, who were walking behind, looked at each other. Doubt and fear could be seen in their eyes.

They entered the legendary Forest of Death. No one was in a good mood.

Of course, Bai Zhixi was an accident.

”Fan Yi, hurry and help your Crown Prince over. There's a hot spring here, it's perfect for him to bathe.”

The sky was bright, and one could clearly see the entire forest. It was unlike the dense fog in the rumors, the darkness was frightening.

Bai Zhixi laid comfortably in the hot spring.
