Transmigrated into a heretical cultivator, leading all the villains to ascension.

Chapter 217 A Chill Deep Within the Soul

When Gao Huohuo slowly woke up, he found himself lying comfortably on the broad back of the giant python.

She was placed in the very center, surrounded by what seemed to be an invisible protective layer.

But in this gloomy Tianyou Ridge, a chill followed her like a shadow, causing her to shiver involuntarily.

She subconsciously tugged at her clothes, trying to ward off the chill, and at the same time opened all the names on the system at once.

I had hoped to use the system's power to dispel the chill, but the feeling of being cold did not diminish at all.

"Alas, it turns out that the soul was only separated and not damaged. The system cannot transfer this feeling of weakness."

Gao Huohuo sighed inwardly, feeling utterly helpless.

Gao Huohuo thought she had disguised herself perfectly, but little did she know that from the moment she woke up, the other five people had been secretly watching her every move.

Every subtle movement she made did not escape the watchful eyes of the crowd.

A short while later, Zhao Feiyue took out two cloaks.

She first draped one over herself, then handed the other to Gao Huohuo.

With a warm smile on his face, he said, "Junior Sister, don't you feel a sudden chill in here?"

I happen to have two cloaks here; let's put them on to keep out the chill.

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo's face flashed with surprise, and she asked in confusion:

"Sixth Senior Sister, are you cold too?"

Zhao Feiyue, with a natural expression, asked in return:

"Don't you think? The sun is completely blocked here, so it's natural to feel cold."

Gao Huohuo thought to himself, "Really? Even cultivators feel cold? Doesn't that make them no different from ordinary people?"

Sixth Senior Sister must have sensed something, which is why she deliberately played along with this act.

Just then, Gao Huohuo suddenly realized: "Where did my clone go?"

She quickly circulated her spiritual power, carefully sensing the surroundings.

Only then did they realize that Princess Huohuo was speeding towards the passage back to the human race.

"Senior Brother, the clone I created is heading back to the human realm through the passage. We need to hurry and set off too!"

Gao Huohuo hurriedly shouted.

So the six of them quickly jumped off the giant python's back and unleashed their sword-wielding techniques.

As for Tianyou Ridge, we'll have to explore it another time; for now, we need to focus on the important matters.

"How about we team up in pairs? Fourth Senior Brother, I need to talk to you about something. Why don't you team up with me?"

Zhao Feiyue was the first to make the suggestion.

However, Mu Hanxing quickly interrupted, "Sixth Junior Sister, you should come with me. Senior Brother is taking Fourth Junior Brother with him."

The three of us are all sword cultivators, so our sword-wielding speed is even faster.

Before Gao Huohuo could even draw his Cold Light Sword, Zhong Hanshang pulled him onto his Amazing Swan Sword.

This is the first time the Jinghong Sword has been wielded by someone else. You must know that Zhong Hanshang, as a sword cultivator, possesses many spiritual swords.

But the Jinghong Sword was like his natal magic weapon, holding an extraordinary status, and he rarely showed it to others.

He would only draw this sword when he was in dire straits, had no other choice, or was unable to defeat his opponent.

"Gao Huohuo, this Jinghong Sword is like ours, a semi-divine artifact."

Back in the cultivation world, that was a renowned top-tier weapon; I just wonder if its spirit has awakened yet?

Zi Ying's voice echoed softly in Gao Huohuo's mind.

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo couldn't help but look down at the Jinghong Sword at his feet.

The sword gleamed with a cold light, its sword energy overflowing, its sharpness fully revealed, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

She secretly wondered:

"Was this semi-divine artifact bestowed upon him by the Qingyun Sect, or did he find it by chance while traveling, like I did?"

The Jinghong Sword has a crystal-clear protective shield that steadily protects the two people on the sword and keeps out the howling cold wind outside.

However, Gao Huohuo's coldness originated from the depths of her soul. Even with a cloak on, the chill lingered like a leech, and she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

In order to avoid Zhong Hanshang noticing anything amiss, Gao Huohuo quickly hid her hands inside her cloak.

She quietly took out the warm jade that Dongfang Han had given her and held it tightly in her palm.

"If only the demons had Jade Stream Flowers, I would definitely go and pick some," she thought to herself.

Zhong Hanshang, who had been closely monitoring Gao Huohuo, quickly noticed her unusual behavior.

He felt heartbroken and immediately channeled his spiritual energy into her, trying to make her feel better.

"Senior Brother Zhong, you don't need to transfer spiritual energy to me. I might need your help later. Save your spiritual energy."

I'm just... a little afraid of heights.

Gao Huohuo quickly said.

Zhong Hanshang knew perfectly well that what she said was just an excuse, but he still cooperated and gently suggested:

"Then why don't you turn around and look at me, but don't look down there, maybe that will make things better."

Upon hearing this, Gao Huohuo inwardly groaned:

Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing? And that pose is just too weird!

"It's okay, you'll get used to it."

Gao Huohuo forced a calm demeanor and responded to Zhong Hanshang with a slightly stiff smile.

But she knew very well that she was in such a weak state.

The idea of ​​keeping it a secret indefinitely is simply wishful thinking; everyone will find out the truth sooner or later.

After all, Sixth Senior Sister Zhao Feiyue and Senior Brother Zhong have already become suspicious. Based on this, it can be inferred that Eldest Senior Brother Chu Lingchuan and the others will likely discover the clues soon as well.

She sighed inwardly and silently made a decision:

"Forget it, I'll just explain everything once I've successfully sent Princess Huo Huo away."

They were quite lucky this time; the fusion-level demonic cultivator who had relentlessly pursued them last time was not nearby.

Looking around, the highest cultivation level among the surrounding enemies was only at the Void Refinement stage, and their strength was still not to be underestimated.

Gao Huohuo couldn't help but worry, as Zhong Hanshang was only at the first level of the Nascent Soul stage.

Faced with such a formidable opponent, it remains to be seen whether he can withstand this attack.

Now that he only has Foundation Establishment cultivation left, if he were to be exposed, his true situation would likely be discovered by the enemy in an instant, plunging him into an abyss of no return.

Just as he was pondering, a graceful Nascent Soul female cultivator walked towards Gao Huohuo with light steps.

She wore a face mask, completely covering her face.

Gao Huohuo recognized it at a glance—this was the second clone she had created—Princess Huohuo.

The other five people beside Gao Huohuo exchanged knowing glances, all understanding the reason behind it.

Without the slightest hesitation, Gao Huohuo raised his hand and handed Princess Huohuo a storage ring.

He then handed over all the precious items he had painstakingly won in the demon realm to her.

He solemnly instructed, "We'll be responsible for drawing away the enemies outside. You must seize the opportunity to return to the human race."

Princess Huo Huo nodded solemnly without saying a word.

He exuded a resolute aura, as if declaring to everyone that he would not fail in his mission.

Gao Huohuo turned around, ready to assign tasks to everyone, only to find that Zhong Hanshang had already arranged everything.

She couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Zhong, what should I do?"

Zhong Hanshang frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes.

"You stay here and keep watch for us. If you spot that Nascent Soul cultivator, warn us immediately."

His tone left no room for doubt, as if he had already weighed the options in his mind.

Placing Gao Huohuo in a relatively safe rear area is currently the best option.

Gao Huohuo felt somewhat unwilling, but looking at Zhong Hanshang's determined eyes, she knew that arguing at this moment would be futile.
