The woman’s eyes are so cold, like she is not a human . She casts an emotionless glance at Lin Luoran and asks indifferently,
“Who is…Baojia?”
Lin feels that she just took a head-on blow .
Baojia went missing outside of the Bushman’s tribe . Lin and Wen forced Yakee, chief of the tribe, and Barney to be their guides . The four of them walked in the desert and were attacked by the scorpions . Then they were drawn into this underground world by drift sand . Lin later met Wen at the foxes’ cave and the two went through the danger of lava… Baojia is like a sister to Lin . Lin feels obliged to save her .
Now, Baojia is standing right in front of Lin, but she is acting like they are strangers . Lin feels cold all over her body .
Seeing that Lin Luoran is about to lose herself, Wen Guanjing, who has been in silence, pulls Lin’s sleeves .
“Sister Lin… This may not be the real Baojia . ” Wen says in a low voice but he doesn’t try to hide his voice . He has a feeling that this “Baojia” who came here on a beast is extremely powerful . As a bystander, Wen is actually able to think more calmly .
Qin Baojia’s level of cultivation was low . There is no chance that her power can feel like a deep sea . The woman in front of them is definitely not Sister Lin’s best friend!
After being reminded, Lin comes to her sense . She is usually composed and she was being surprised by “Baojia”’s sudden appearance . Lin steps back and checks on this woman . She is in a loose ancient costume and a ribbon is in her long hair — This woman looks nothing like Baojia except for her face .
Baojia never likes ancient costume . She always says that she can’t get the Tang costume Li Xi’er wears every day .
Before coming to Africa, Baojia cut her hair to cope with the hot weather . It has only been days since Lin last saw her… Her hair can’t grow so fast .
Baojia’s long eyes are always so glowing and the glow makes her look beautiful and elegant . If Lin Luoran can be compared to a gentle jade, Baojia will be a shining diamond .
Lin looks “Baojia” in the eye . Her eyes are blank and empty . The expressions in her eyes feel like the clouds in the sky, which is unreal .
This is not Baojia!

Without noticing, Lin clenches her fists .
She steps back . After coming here on a beast, the woman who looks like Baojia has said nothing after the question “who is Baojia” . It’s like that she doesn’t care about Lin and Wen at all .
The woman looks around . She seems to be satisfied by all the shivering animals on the ground . Suddenly, she turns around and asks Lin and Wen, “Why don’t you two kneel?”
Kneel—? Why should we kneel?
Wen asks .
Hearing Wen’s question, “Baojia with long hair” finally shows another expression except indifference… Is she slightly angry?
Yes . She is .
The woman flicks her sleeves and Wen falls back . To be more specific, Wen is blown away like a stone!
Of course, Lin won’t stand there and watch Wen get hurt . Rolling lava is right behind them . If Wen falls into the lava, he will be immediately melted . Therefore, in a flash, a vine rushes out of Lin’s palm and circles around Wen Guanjing . With wood Reiki, Lin Luoran has managed to help a seed of the iron thorn to grow up into a vine in one second .
“Bound!” Lin Luoran shouts . She tries to draw the vine and Wen back, but the momentum on Wen’s body is so strong that Lin is almost dragged into the lava . Lin’s feet are off the ground . She steps on the wall around the platform and her shoes are almost on fire . Luckily, she manages to land on the ground along with Wen Guanjing .
Lin gasps . She looks at the woman with long hair warily . Now Lin is sure that the woman in front of her is not Baojia — This woman only looks like Baojia . She tried to kill Wen with the first strike . How could she be Baojia?
Lin Luoran doesn’t want to think about the worst scenario . The worst case is that the woman here is Baojia, only being possessed…
The woman is more powerful than Lin and Wen . They don’t know what to do except for staring at the woman warily .

“You stupid Qi-trainers…are so reckless . ” The woman draws a conclusion on Lin and Wen . She doesn’t seem to want to kill Lin and Wen now, and she even stops to ask them to kneel .
The beast which has four burning hoofs and a horn on its head looks like a bull or a dear . It moos .
The woman seems to be able to understand what the beast is saying . She is surprised .
She stands up and looks at Lin’s feet . A cyan little fox is lying by Lin’s feet .
“It is you . Why are you hiding?” The woman smiles and waves her hand . The cyan little fox loses control of its own body and it flies to the woman reluctantly .
Lin worries that the woman may hurt the little fox . She moves her right hand . The next second, a ball of light hits Lin’s right hand . Lin feels a sharp pain .
The woman says coldly, “Silly Qi-trainer, don’t try again . If you do, don’t blame me, the saintess, for killing you instantly despite of the sacrifice . ”
Saintess? Sacrifice?
Lin and Wen are both confused . However, the saintess ignores them and gets on the back of the beast with the cyan little fox in her arms . In front of the eyes of Lin and Wen, the woman rises into the sky and disappears through the big huge on the roof of the sanctuary .
Lin looks at her right hand after the woman is gone .
The back of her hand is burnt and her fingers are still shivering because of the pain . The careless strike of the “saintess” almost disabled Lin’s hand .
Right hand means so much for cultivators .
Most people use their right hand to hold pens when they write and forks when they eat, so do the cultivators . Cultivators use their right hand to make gestures so that they can cast spells .

The saintess is so cold and mean . She is more like a witch rather than a saintess .
Now, Lin Luoran is finally sure that even if the woman is Baojia, she has lost her memory .
“Sister Lin, should we follow her?”
Wen didn’t say a word after Lin saved his life because he didn’t want to distract her . Now, seeing that Lin is in a daze, he can’t help reminding . Light pours down through the hole in the roof . Wen is tempted by the thought that the hole may be their way out of the underground world .
Lin would have followed the woman even if Wen didn’t bring it up .
What if the woman is Baojia who is possessed?
She will not give up as long as there is hope . Also, the cyan little fox was taken away by the woman . Lin has promised the white fox to take care of the little fox . She can’t just let it go .
The entire platform shakes when Lin and Wen is going up on the flying sword . For a moment, Lin Luoran thought that the sanctuary was about to collapse . Then she realizes that the platform is going up slowly .
Some animals standing at the edge fall down into the lava and are melted .
Being startled, Lin has to hold Wen’s hand in order to stand straight .
The platform is going up faster and faster . The hole in the roof expands . Light becomes brighter . There are over ten thousand of animals on the platform, yet the mysterious force lifts it up from the ground . Lin suddenly starts to have a bad feeling about the “sacrifice” the saintess talked about .
The animals scream while the platform gets higher .
Finally, the platform reaches the roof and it fits right in the hole .
This turns out to be an exquisite design!
Someone made this design based on the platform . Lin Luoran looks around while holding back her surprise .
Lin is sure that she has never seen so many animals in her life . The animals on the platform are all panicking .
Lin counts . There are eight platforms around and in the center of the platforms, there is a high terrace .
There are stairs made of jade . The saintess in her pale pink long dress is walking up . Lin can’t see the end of these stairs .
They are out of the underground world!
Lin suddenly notices that the platforms are surrounded by soft sand, and the stairs lead to twinkling stars .
The wind in the desert is dry and hot . However, compared with the underground world filled by lava, the desert is quite comfortable . Lin Luoran takes a deep breath . This must be the Kalahari Desert . She never expected that she could get out of the underground world so easily .
The saintess keeps going up on the stairs . She is disappearing into the night .
The saintess stops when Lin Luoran is wondering when she will stop . The Fire-hoof Beast runs down from the terrace . The saintess pats its head gently with kindness .
With her sharp eyes, Lin sees that the cyan little fox is on the back of the beast .
The saintess holds the fox in her arms . The fox jumps on the ground . The saintess wants to hold it again, but she can’t help being angry, “I was going to take you with me for our old time together . Since you don’t want to, you can become one of the sacrifices!”
Lin Luoran’s heart starts pounding . She casts the Wind-riding Spell and catches the cyan little fox . There are tears in its eyes . The little fox seems to be afraid of the saintess .
The saintess sneers and rises up to the sky on the Fire-hoof beast . Lin is alarmed by the “sacrifice” the saintess keeps talking about . She drags Wen along with her and runs to the edge of the platform .
A light wall rises . Wen’s sleeves are cut into pieces . Eight huge light beam cover the platforms .
Lin Luoran has a subtle feeling about how the sacrifice will begin .
