“Okay.” Fire Qilin nodded as it stamped its massive claws against the ground, sending the clouds billowing. Complicated markings started to appear around Baili Jia Jue and Helian Wei Wei, and those markings took the shape of a pentagon star with Helian Wei Wei standing right in the middle of it.

As dawn broke, the first slither of early light peeked over the skyline and struck on Helian Wei Wei. The light converged at a speed which was clearly visible even to the naked eye. It had Helian Wei Wei wrapped within it like a cocoon before losing its glow and warmth gradually.

Only God knew how many hours had slipped by the time Helian Wei Wei opened her eyes abruptly.

The scene before her had changed completely, and she felt nothing but harsh and piercing cold.

Ordinary was the last thing Helian Wei Wei had expected from the place that she was heading to. But she had never seen anything like this before, especially when she and another two young girls were being held in the mouth of a magical beast right now!

That is a truly unpleasant feeling.

Echoes of gusting wind drummed in her ears as they surged through the plunges and spikes.

Just as Helian Wei Wei was trying to figure her way out, the young girl beside her curled her lips in disgust and said, “His Highness hates timid humans the most. I have no idea why the hell the birds picked you up halfway. You’re just slightly fairer, that’s it.”

Helian Wei Wei kept her mouth shut. Keeping absolute silence had always been her way of tackling any unfamiliar situation.

Moreover, she came with a specific intention this time.

“Mind your words, Xiao Kui.” Another young girl tugged at her sleeve. With her little face lifted up and facing Helian Wei Wei, she asked, “You don’t look like one of us from the Exorcist Temple. Where are you from? Why are you beside the altar?”

Helian Wei Wei spoke in a flat tone, “I don’t remember. It turned out like this when I woke up.”

“You must have knocked your head when you fell down the mountain.” The young girl in purple looked at her with mercy in her eyes.

Pressing her forehead unhurriedly, Helian Wei Wei shook her head for a while and said, “I guess so.”

“What a pity.” The young girl in purple expressed her sympathy as if she could not bear it, “No worries, I will take care of you once we reach the Pandemonium.”

For a second Helian Wei Wei’s fingers jerked. Pandemonium?

“Sister Ni, why don’t just let her be?” The young girl in pink lifted her chin with a scornful expression across her pretty face. “It is His Highness who asks you to come over this time. This woman just came out of nowhere, she is just a nobody!”

The young girl in purple shot her a warning look. “Xiao Kui, since His Highness is looking for me this time, that’s why I can’t let others get into trouble. You know well about his hidden ruthlessness. As graceful as he may look like most of the time, nobody knows what he will do in the next second.”

“But he treats you differently, Sister Ni.” Xiao Kui’s eyes flashed with a tinge of envy, “He really treats you well.”

The young girl in purple stretched her soft lips into a faint smile at first, but obscure shades of dejection seemed to be lingering on her face.

Helian Wei Wei listened to their conversation in a quiet manner while keeping the dagger under her long sleeve well-hidden…

According to what Fire Qilin mentioned, it would send her to where Baili Jia Jue was located.

And since she ended up here, was she going to meet Baili Jia Jue soon if she just followed their plan?

Casting her eyes into the distance, Helian Wei Wei decided to wait for a little bit longer.

Amid the heavy mist were myriad of high-rise rooftops hidden behind the dark clouds sprawling across the sky. It was a prosperous yet gloomy view.

And there it was, a massive holy palace standing tall at the foot of a volcano, meandering all the way down to the Solo River. The entire place was beyond the reach of sunlight due to the heavy fog.

Helian Wei Wei could hardly have a clear view of the whole building. What came into her sight was a sea of blooming flowers, flaring like fire across the dark black river that merged into a breathtaking scene.

Furthermore, there were some souls who were unable to go for ascension, hence they were drifting on the river like the rising clouds. At that moment, Helian Wei Wei could not take her eyes off this spectacular phenomenon for she was totally in awe.

Xiao Kui gave a scornful laugh upon seeing this, “Look, Sister Ni, she is such a rube! She hasn’t even seen the Styx River before.”

The Styx River? Helian Wei Wei narrowed her eyes dangerously. Those eyes were deep, like a fathomless old well. She had read about it from an old book before.

There was a river in this world with countless equinox flowers growing along its bank.

People used to say that it was a symbol of misfortune and despair.

Nevertheless, this never hindered people from yearning for it.

The place with the most souls was where it grew. Indistinct singing could be heard as the breeze blew.

Those were the singing of the mermaids sleeping under the riverbed, summoning the souls.

These mermaids were not as beautiful as one may think.

Of course, they were indeed extremely charming creatures with the most crystal clear voice and purest features in the world.

One could hardly reject their pleas when they looked into one’s eyes.

However once that person agrees, they would reveal their razor sharp teeth and drag them into the deepest part of the water in the blink of an eye. They would be ripped apart and every piece of them would be their feast.

The list of the myths regarding the Styx River were endless.

But the major concern of Helian Wei Wei was that this river could only be seen in two places, which were the devildom and hell.

Clearly, this is not hell…

Since it’s not hell, this place must be the devildom with absolute freedom!

She actually came to the devildom!

Helian Wei Wei was trying hard to resist the urge of putting her hand to her forehead. A beam of light sparked across her long, narrow phoenix eyes upon looking at the approaching great hall.

The Pandemonium was well-illuminated with lights and it shone bright like a diamond.

Despite its magnificence, it could never be in the shower of sunlight.

All these gleams were merely illusions created from intensive magic.

Numerous flames bloomed into giant fireworks with the crowds cheering and whooping as palpable jubilation buzzed through the atmosphere. Flapping its raven black feathers, the gigantic bird soared across the fireworks and gave out a high-pitched squeak with its head lifted up. It was celebrating in its own way as well.

Fiery sparks intensified gradually with brilliant inks of light bursting into a canvas of stars.

From the sky to the earth underneath the 81 miles lies the bed of equinox flowers. This was what came to Helian Wei Wei’s mind as she witnessed this awe-inspiring sight.

Bang!

All of a sudden she was being tossed to the ground like a parcel by the magical beast.

Fortunately the ground was covered with wine red carpet which was velvety enough to cushion even the slightest bit of pain upon falling down.

But of course she was not the only one being forced to kiss the ground, so were the two other young girls.

The expression on the face of the young girl in purple was indescribable.

On the other hand, Xiao Kui looked extremely excited. The smile on her face was too obvious to be ignored.

Crossing her arms, she threw a condescending glance at Helian Wei Wei, who was still on the ground. She twisted her lips into a mocking smirk and said, “Look at her, Sister Ni. Was it the fall or the fear that turned her into an idiot?”

“Xiao Kui!” The young girl in purple turned around and threw her another shot of a warning look. However, she did not really mean it as Helian Wei Wei was just a mere stranger to her after all. As long as she offered her some help whenever she could, that was more than enough.

Helian Wei Wei knew exactly what was playing on their minds. These girls were definitely born with a silver spoon in their mouth. Though one was slightly well-mannered and the other one was the opposite, that made no difference at all.

For she might be nothing but a low-born coward in their eyes…
