Lin Luoran feels that something is tied on her waist . She feels pain all over her so she can only lower her head a little and take a look . It is a dirty rag . With the help of the rag, Lin Luoran is put on the sand and she barely dodges a bullet .
She has never known that there will be fog in the desert . The rag slips back . It is dark and foggy . Lin Luoran cannot see clearly, nor can she figure out the one that saved her .
She hears Wen Guanjing’s grunt from the air . Wen Guanjing wanted to save Lin Luoran but he was late and was attacked by the injured Fire-hoof Beast . He is about to fall on the light wall and the rag appears again and catches him . The rag puts Wen Guanjing near Lin Luoran and disappears again .
This sudden attack has hurt Wen Guanjing badly . There is blood at the corner of his mouth and he passes out . The cyan fox shakes him and gets furious: Why is this male cultivator always passing out?
After saving people twice, the rag finally catches the saintess’ attention .
The light walls stop shrinking for now . Some of the animals get to narrowly escape death . However, those who have already dead cannot come to life again . Their flesh and blood have painted the eight light walls and becomes energy that Lin Luoran doesn’t understand . The energy is being delivered to the jade stairs .
“Stop hiding, you coward…” The saintess stops and looks at Lin Luoran’s direction . The dirty rag comes from the fog .
A burst of laughter comes from the fog as well . It is a man’s voice,
“Reaching the sky on dead bodies… After all these years, you haven’t changed at all, my saintess . ”
Lin Luoran checks Wen Guanjing . She is at ease after she makes sure that Wen Guanjing only passed out because his vital energy and blood was quaked . Now she knows that the mysterious people who saved them is a man . However, why does his laughter sounds crazy?
Different from her, the saintess looks very unhappy .
“After all these years… So which one of my old fellows is joking with me?”
Thinking that this one may be a people from her past, the saintess is unhappy . In her memory, she has no “old friend” at all, only enemies .

The man stops hiding and comes out of the fog .
The one who saved Lin Luoran is not “Prince Charming” for sure . It is a Taoist in a dirty rob . There is dirt all over his face and he ties his hair with a little stick . He seems to be fifty years old, but he looks older than he actually is because he looks very untidy .
Lin Luoran feels this outlook is familiar, but she is sure that she has never seen someone likes him .
The saintess feels the same way . She doesn’t know this untidy man at all, so how can he be an old fellow… However, how does he know that she is reaching the sky?
“The longer I live, the less brave I am…” The saintess talks to herself and turns around .
The Taoist seems to be mad . He ignores Lin Luoran and claps his hands, laughing, “Who is the most miserable one in the world? The Yellow Emperor is the most miserable one . He doesn’t know that his daughter is not his daughter . Who is the most miserable one in the world? Chiyou is the most miserable one… The so-called saintess of the Jiuli Tribe is fake . That is so hilarious . ”
Lin Luoran cannot understand his words at all . She only knows about “The Yellow Emperor”, “Chiyou” and “the Jiuli Tribe” from legends .
Many people may not know about “the Jiuli Tribe”, but they know about the Battle of Zhuolu and Chiyou was the leader of the Jiuli Tribe . Lin Luoran thinks about the legend stories of Huaxia and she assumes that the saintess has something to do with all those characters from the legend stories . However, Lin Luoran only knows that the daughter of the Yellow Emperor is called “Ba” and she has no idea about the “saintess of the Jiuli Tribe” .
What is it? Is this crazy Taoist talking nonsense, or are the legend stories changed how they really are during all those years?
Hearing his words, the saintess is shocked . Suspicions and coldness appear in her beautiful eyes .
“Whoever you are, you are going to die today . ”
She flies down on her Fire-hoof Beast . Being provoked by the crazy Taoist, the saintess comes down from the jade stairs that she has been going up for a long time and lands on the desert .
She looks extremely glamorous as she is not far from Lin Luoran at the moment . If Lin Luoran ignores her cold eyes, she is identical to Baojia… Thinking about Baojia, something strikes Lin Luoran . She looks at the crazy and untidy Taoist and finally she knows why he is familiar .

The crazy Taoist . She has heard about him so many times from Commander Qin . How can she not know him?
Indeed, no one other than this crazy Taoist who is a blood kin to Baojia will come to save them!
He is still alive…
Lin Luoran suddenly realizes that this person is elder than Commander Qin’s grandmother . Cultivators at the level of Laying Foundation can live up to 200 years old . Therefore, this one is at least at the level of Bearing Essence .
There are really cultivators at the level of Bearing Essence on the earth!
Lin Luoran’s pupils constrict . If the saintess has something to do with legend stories, it is not strange at all that there are cultivators at the level of Bearing Essence in this world .
The saintess attacks the crazy Taoist, not with magic, not with sword spells, but with spirit power . Lin Luoran feels headache . The Fire-hoof Beast comes to Lin Luoran as it wants to bully this “weak one” .
Lin Luoran has been angry about this “superior” saintess . Seeing that the beast is coming to her, she chops the beast with the Sword of Bright without mercy .
As he is moving, the crazy Taoist cannot hide anymore . Lin Luoran feels that he is indeed more than just a cultivator at the level of Laying Foundation . He looks far less mysterious than the saintess, but he is not afraid of the spirit attack from her .
“Who on earth are you!” Failing to attack him, the saintess gets angry .
The crazy Taoist avoids the attack and laughs, “The one who sends you away… However, you have to leave that body here . ”
The saintess stops attacking and smiles beautifully,
“It is her privilege to go with me . The earth today is far worse than my destination . ”

Her voice is very quiet and her smile looks elegant . At this moment, she looks exactly like a “saintess” . Looking at her, Lin Luoran finds herself agreeing with her . If the body belongs to Baojia, it is a good choice for her to go with the saintess .
Seeing that Lin Luoran is absentminded, the Fire-hoof Beast shouts loudly and wakes Lin Luoran up . However, she is already hurt .
The crazy Taoist shouts, “You treacherous Kui Cattle! She only gave you three feet and you forget where you belong!” The Taoist is very angry . Clearly, he is not puzzled by the saintess . After cursing the Kui Cattle, he turns to the saintess,
“I’m crazy, but I’m not stupid! What better place? This body can only be torn apart by the space crack . This body is useless for you . Give it back . If you give it back to me, I’ll let you go…”
Lin Luoran is confused . All she knows is that the legend stories she knows are all turned upside down tonight .
She knows about the Kui Cattle . It is said that under the instruction of The Goddess of the Empyrean, the Yellow Emperor caught the Kui Cattle from the Liubo Island in the East Sea . The Kui Cattle looks like a cattle but it only has one foot . Once it enters or gets out of the water, there will be wind and rain . Its eyes are like the sun and the moon and its sound is like the sound of thunder . The Yellow Emperor caught it to peel its skin and made the skin into a drum, with which he coped Chiyou .
This one in front of her looks like a cattle . It has a loud sound and one horn . It is extremely powerful but it has four feet . It looks like the one in the legend story, but there are differences as well .
Lin Luoran doesn’t care about “treacherous”, nor does she care about the saintess or the beast . She just knows that the body belongs to Baojia… Is Baojia still alive?
She has no idea .
However, even Baojia is not alive, Lin Luoran cannot let her body torn apart by the space crack . Lin Luoran clenches her fists tightly . She wants to tear this saintess to shreds .
The saintess stares at the crazy Taoist, “The spell is completed . I can give up this body now… However, who do you think you are? How dare you come and ask me to do anything?”
Suddenly, she laughs in a crazy way,
“You stupid rabbles . How dare you all come and command me? The Yellow Emperor, Chiyou, and even you, stupid Qi-trainers, how can you be so arrogant? After all these years, you have already forgotten how powerful I am!”
Lin Luoran doesn’t know why she calls them “rabbles” . However, after the saintess gets mad and waves her hands, Lin Luoran feels that the sand underneath her is becoming hotter .
The sand moves away . Lava comes out of the ground . The crazy Taoist doesn’t move, but Lin Luoran takes the cyan fox and Wen Guanjing with her .
Lin Luoran is familiar with the legend stories of Huaxia . The desert, the lava, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou… With all the information, she knows for sure who this saintess really is .
However, if she is “Ba”, daughter of the Yellow Emperor, why does she call them “rabbles?”
Lin Luoran looks at the Kui Cattle defensively as it still wants to attack her . Seeing that the lava is coming closer, she has to prepare to go away at any time .
Two people and one beast are standing on the sand . With lava spreading around, the crazy Taoist is not afraid at all . Lin Luoran doesn’t know why he is so emboldened .
Soon, Lin Luoran knows why .
A slight sound of cracking comes from the jade stairs . Lin Luoran is surprised and the saintess is shocked: While the crazy Taoist is clapping his hands, the “hard” jade stairs are shaking . And then—
The jade stairs collapse!
The jade stairs collapse down and the light walls disappear . The alive animals are standing in the blood . They can’t believe that they escape from death just like this .
With a sound of crankshaft moving, the plain sinks . A moment later, there is nothing more than several people, the lava and scattered jade in the desert .
The road that is paved by thousands of dead bodies towards the sky is ruined .
The saintess cannot bear it anymore . She yells to the sky and gets extremely furious . Lava is rolling around .
