Semua Bab A Mortal's Journey to Immortality: Bab 241 - Bab 250

Dusk was falling; the last light of the day touched the Sword Pavilion Village. The trees and houses were dyed in shimmering gold, making the Sunshine Orphanage truly living up to its name. The children were playing in the sunset, their laughter was bright and crisp. Clunk clunk clunk... Ge Ming banged against a basin he was holding to, shouting, "Time to eat! Let's eat!" The children swarmed towards the canteen. A newcomer boy fell down and started wailing out loud. Li Xiaoyu stood beside the little boy, speaking in a mature manner, "You're a boy, you have to get up by yourself after falling down. But if you give me 50 cents, I can help you up." "I have no money, boohoo..." the little boy wailed even louder. "The most painful thing in the world is to be penniless," Li Xiaoyu shook her head and walked away. From afar, Ning Tao was watching as he smiled wryly and shook his head. He could

In the Sword Pavilion Cave. Qing Zhui was curled up in Ning Tao's arms, incessantly shivering. Her face was pale not only because of the oppressive aura of Sky Clinic, but also thanks to the fright caused by that "blood-red tide of insects." In fact, she was not the only one. Both Yin Molan and Bai Jing were still in trepidation. Those blood-red insects resembling spiders with dragonfly's wings had caused terror in the depths of their souls. Ning Tao's cultivation was the lowest of the four, yet he was the first one to recover. He clasped Qing Zhui tightly in his arms, consoling her and using his special spiritual power to help her recover. "It's all over now, it's all over. Don't worry." Qing Zhui buried her face in his chest, like a child suffering a great fright. "What are those insects?" Bai Jing finally came to herself. She was now rather polite to Yin Molan. "Do you know, Senior Yin?" Yin Molan

Dense, sultry air was in the forest. The river by the hot spring was flowing in the direction of a precipice. By the river, the mosses which were spiritual materials were still there and not yet destroyed. In the near distance, the "floral field" bearing several dozen Flowers of the Night was also there. They had not been uprooted yet. These armed men were obviously not here for spiritual materials. They were here for the Feminine-moon City under the precipice. From his earlier observations, there were no demons or practitioners among these men, but they were well-trained mercenaries. They obviously had not realized the spiritual value of these Flowers of the Night or mosses by the river. Ning Tao soon came to the edge of the precipice. An armed man was at the precipice, holding an M16 assault rifle. He poked out his head and glanced down the precipice. A rope was tethered to a tree trunk by his side. The rope was taut and someone was fastened to it.

As for if Tang Zixian came from the Tang family, Ning Tao really didn't have an answer in his heart. He was just speculating and Yin Molan hadn't offered enough evidence to support his guess. Therefore, in such a case, he couldn't let her die. Furthermore, Tang Zixian and Tu Wenjin had risked their lives to cover him while he was trying to save others. Even if Tang Zixian really was from the Tang family and would become his opponent in the future, he would rather face her in broad daylight and defeat her in one blow. It shouldn't be like this. To watch her die would be like burning the bridge after crossing it, and he was never that type of person. "Grab the rope and follow me." Ning Tao's voice rang out from the dark. Tang Zixian and Tu Wenjin picked themselves up from the ground, grabbed the rope, and walked into the dark. "Doctor Ning, where are you?" Tu Wenjin asked nervously. It was dark in the cave and he couldn't see Nin

"There's light ahead! We've reached the end. We've finally found the exit!" Tu Wenjin dashed forward agitatedly. Whoosh— The sound of something coursing through the air. A dark shadow whizzed in! Ning Tao shoved Tu Wenjin away with his palms. A rock hit his chest like a missile. Under the protection of the air sac of spiritual power, his body flew away to a distance of a few dozen meters, before crashing down. His flashlight had been shattered by the blow. The tunnel instantly lapsed into darkness. Tang Zixian suddenly prone herself to the ground. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The noise of whizzing rocks caused the stone wall to shudder. "Doctor Ning?" Tu Wenjin called out. Ning Tao did not respond. He was lying on the ground, motionless. Other than some minor pain, he felt nothing at all. But he was wondering how Tang Zixian would react if she had thought him dead
