Chapter 1354: Chapter 595: Ashi Luo’s Resurrection! The Destiny of Yin Ji!

Xie Li Khan kept encouraging himself, then his gaze firmed up, “Humble Near-Human Tribe, follow me into the demon’s den and rescue my son!”

This Centaur Khan was truly decisive, handing over the tribe’s affairs to his wife before immediately leaving the tribe with Lanling, heading to the demon’s den a thousand miles away to rescue his son, Xie Li the Second!

…

The time goes back two years!

Zhi Ning and Fang Qingzhuo’s ship, kept heading north, kept heading north!

The weather grew colder, and there was more and more floating ice on the sea.

The three children could no longer withstand such cold, so Zhi Ning took out the magical elixirs Die Wu had given, scraped a little, dissolved it in water, and had the children drink it.

Something miraculous happened, the three kids became flushed with heat, even sweating, eagerly playing with ice on the deck!

The ship was manned by Prince Ji Min’s soldiers and sailors, many of whom were not highly skilled in martial arts and also could not withstand such cold.

Zhi Ning took out Die Wu’s elixir, dissolved it in wine, and had the sailors and samurai consume it!

Suddenly, these people were also sweating profusely, feeling no hint of cold.

The big ship continued north, continued north.

The floating ice on the sea increased exponentially.

Everyone clearly felt the daylight getting shorter and the night getting longer.

Additionally, the distant glaciers to the north became clearly visible.

It seemed as if they had reached the continent’s end.

From the Dongli Kingdom waters to here, they had traveled far more than ten thousand miles, perhaps seventeen thousand.

Eventually, the big ship was incapable of moving forward.

Because the sea here had completely frozen over.

A few hundred miles ahead were towering glaciers, stretching endlessly, as if obstructing the entire world.

This was the world’s end.

“Your Highness Commandery Princess, we must return now; please take care!” the captain said to Zhi Ning.

Zhi Ning turned slightly to everyone, offering a half-bow, “Thank you for your care during the journey, these gifts are a small token of appreciation.”

Then, Zhi Ning produced a bag of gold coins, a bag of gems, and a few elixirs for warmth.

Next, Zhi Ning took out pen and paper, “Please write down your hometowns and names; if I can return to the human kingdom one day, I will surely repay you!”

Immediately, the sailors and samurai were very grateful and left their names.

The big ship headed back, while Zhi Ning held the baby, Fang Qingzhuo led the two daughters onto the Extreme Northern Glacier. Two dogs pulled a sled, on top of which lay the crystallized Ashi Liren, fire starters, clothes, food.

The group continued north, continued north, walking on the ice.

Like the proverbial “see the mountain, exhaust the horse,” the enormous glacier seemed close yet was very far indeed.

They walked for days and nights, covering more than seven hundred miles.

Finally, Zhi Ning and Fang Qingzhuo brought the children to the base of the glacier.

Fortunately, they had Die Wu’s elixirs; otherwise, the three children could never withstand the terrible cold here.

This immense glacier was over ten thousand meters tall, and its length seemed boundless, perhaps thousands, or tens of thousands of miles.

It was like a wall, bisecting the entire world.

Zhi Ning dug an ice cellar for them to stay in, awaiting the arrival of the eternal night!

Daylight grew shorter and shorter, ever shorter.

Half a month later!

Eventually, daylight vanished entirely, and they were engulfed in constant night, with the sun never rising again.

Zhi Ning and Fang Qingzhuo watched intently for the Aurora Gate.

Time slipped by, second by second…

Twenty-four hours later!

A stunning Aurora cascaded down from the sky, like a radiant galaxy, like the fingers of a god.

The aurora sprawled beneath the glacier, forming a beautiful archway.

Within the archway was darkness; upon closer inspection, energy fluctuations shimmered, like a mirage!

This was the Energy Gate created by the Divine Dragon, passing through could directly lead to the Southern Barbaric Lands!

Without hesitation, Zhi Ning held the baby, Fang Qingzhuo carried Ashi Liren and held their two daughters, and they resolutely walked into the Aurora Gate.

In the human kingdom, they had no place to stay anymore.

They were willing to walk through any door away from here, even into a worse world.

Thus, the three women and three children passed through the Aurora Gate, disappearing completely, leaving the human kingdom, entering an unknown world!

Zhi Ning’s goal was the Witch Kingdom in the ten-thousand-mile desert of the Southern Barbaric Lands!

For this was Ashi Liren’s realm, and only there could she be revived, to complete the final transformation into a demon.

…

The Headless Knight, Zhi Li, Yan Mo, and Lan Tu, the four Hell Knights, slaughtered through the Demonic Laboratory of the Zhi Du Sanctuary, stole Ashi Luo’s soul fragments, and fled thousands of miles into the Southwest Desert!

Ashi Luo’s body had been blown to pieces, completely untraceable.

Hence, they needed another body.

In the underground city of the Southwest Desert lay a Hell Knight’s corpse.

This was the fourth Hell Knight, who betrayed his mission and was executed on the spot by His Majesty the Demon Emperor from thousands of miles away.

Countless years later, a Sand Bandits leader accidentally found this corpse; perhaps pricked by its mummified fingernail, or maybe she intended to burn it.

In any case, coincidentally, her body unexpectedly received the demon blood within this Hell Knight, although only a small portion, it granted her immortality.
