Chapter 73 Jiangcheng 31 Don't wake up again, Green Lamp
The night was already very dark, and the river was swift, with waves crashing one after another, and the bottom could not be seen at a glance.
Wen Li arrived at Tanhe River, where almost all the rivers in Jiangcheng converge and eventually flow into the sea.
Wen Li stood by the river, the water wetting her skirt, but she didn't care at all.
She was glad it wasn't winter yet, otherwise the water would have been so cold.
"Si Xiaxia, is there any way?"
Si Xiaxia was a little embarrassed: "I... I'm just a useless little good-for-nothing."
Wen Li was speechless. Now she knew she was a good-for-nothing!
Wen Li was having no other choice but to go for a swim when suddenly a voice came from behind her.
"Miss Wenli."
Wen Li turned around and saw a man who looked both young and old.
The man was dressed in a blue robe, with handsome and well-proportioned features. He looked to be no more than thirty years old, but his hair was completely white.
"you are?"
Before Wen Li could finish speaking, and before the man could even answer Si Xiaxia, she excitedly exclaimed, "It's Si Ming! It's Immortal Chi Qing!"
Wen Li pondered, "Is Immortal Chi Qing really that powerful? If a fight breaks out, will I have time to escape?"
"Who I am is not important, Miss Wenli, would you like to go into the river?"
Wen Li didn't answer him; instead, she looked at him warily.
Chi Qing smiled gently, stretched out his hand, and a pill appeared out of thin air in his palm.
"This elixir can help you go into the water."
Wen Li reached out to take it: "Why are you helping me?"
As soon as Wen Li asked the question, she wanted to hit herself. He wasn't helping her at all; he was clearly helping Shen Yingsi!
Chi Qing smiled but did not answer, instead saying, "Miss, please be careful on your journey this time."
After saying that, her whole body disappeared in a ball of blue light. If it weren't for the pill in Wen Li's hand, Wen Li would have doubted that what she just saw was just her imagination.
"This is an immortal! So charming! It's Immortal Chi Qing! In the book, he was Qingdeng's good friend!"
Wen Li swallowed the pill and jumped into the river.
The riverbank returned to calm. A gust of wind blew, the grass swayed, and another person stood by the river.
A gentle breeze ruffled his white hair, carrying away his sighs.
"What a tragic fate."

Before Shen Yingsi even stepped into Nijin Mountain, a cloud of black mist appeared before him.
The black mist dissipated, revealing a man dressed as a scholar. A moment later, a ginseng demon appeared behind him.
"Oh, Your Highness, it's been a long time."
Nightmare sized up Shen Yingsi, and in just one glance, he had already made up his mind, and the smile on his lips widened.
Shen Yingsi said calmly, "Let's find another place, so as not to scare others."
Nightmare asked in surprise, "Who are you scaring? If they come, they'll just be buried with His Highness the Crown Prince."
The ginseng demon also laughed and said, "That's right, that Wen Li is quite pretty. It just so happens that you'll have a beauty to accompany you on your journey to the Yellow Springs."
Shen Yingsi looked at the ginseng demon and thrust the Azure Cloud Spear in his hand at her.
The spear thrust forward too fast and too suddenly. The ginseng demon instinctively used its demonic power to form a protective barrier, but the spear pierced through the barrier and went straight through the ginseng demon's abdomen.
The ginseng demon spat out blood, then looked up and saw the spear back in Shen Yingsi's hand.
Nightmare also stopped smiling, his expression turned solemn, and he raised a hand, from which a ball of black energy gradually gathered.
Nightmare saw Shen Yingsi holding a spear and pointing it at him, thinking that he was going to use the divine power of the Azure Cloud Spear to hurt him. The black energy attacked Shen Yingsi, but unexpectedly, the Azure Cloud Spear in Shen Yingsi's hand disappeared.
Shen Yingsi took the blow head-on, and blood flowed from his mouth.
Nightmare was somewhat puzzled: "You know you're no match for me."
Shen Yingsi's expression remained unchanged: "I said let's change the location."
Nightmare suddenly felt much better: "We really should move to another place and slowly torture you, so those old men from Heaven won't come to rescue you again."
With a wave of his hand, Nightmare and Shen Yingsi disappeared into the Nijin Mountain.
Hearing the shouts of the people on the mountain, the ginseng demon quickly fled the area.
When Shen Yingsi opened his eyes, all he saw was boundless darkness.
Nightmare: "Aren't you going to ask where we are?"
Shen Yingsi remained motionless, simply watching him.
Nightmare didn't find it boring at all. Instead, he waved his hand, and countless demons of all sizes suddenly appeared behind him.
Nightmare exuded a demonic aura: "This space is a hell I specially set up for you."
Nightmare turned to the demons behind him and said, "This is the reincarnation of Qingdeng, who imprisoned us in Ghost Valley five hundred years ago. A full five hundred years! Everyone, the time for our revenge has come, the time for our revelry has come!"
Countless demons behind the nightmare began to revel! They began to scream! Their eyes flashed with murderous light!
A blue-faced, fanged demon roared, "Five hundred years! How many of our demon race members have died at his hands? I dream about killing him myself!"
Every demon present hated this god revered by thousands, and they were just waiting for Nightmare's command to rush up and tear him apart.
"Your Highness, are you afraid?"
Shen Yingsi looked at the group of demons he had never met but who hated him to the core, yet his heart remained calm. Suddenly, the Azure Cloud Spear appeared behind Shen Yingsi.
"I deserve to die, but do you all deserve to live?"
Nightmare's expression turned cold upon hearing this, but his voice was filled with excitement: "Time for revenge!"
Nightmare launched the first attack, sending countless wisps of black energy toward Shen Yingsi.
Shen Yingsi brandished his spear and defeated them one by one.
Countless demons swarmed up behind him, and Shen Yingsi gathered spiritual power in his hands, blue light shimmering around him.
The demons couldn't get close to him for a moment, and the Azure Cloud Spear behind Shen Yingsi unleashed divine power, striking the demons. All the demons took a step back.
Nightmare stood in front of the demons, and with a wave of his hand, black energy swept out in all directions towards Shen Yingsi. Shen Yingsi was powerless to retaliate and could only defend.
But he is no longer the omnipotent god; he is now just a human being with flesh and blood.
The blue light dissipated, and countless demons pounced on him.
There were far too many demons, so many that they almost overwhelmed him. These demons had traveled a long way, just to avenge this grudge that had lasted for hundreds of years.
Another demon pierced his body, and another sharp weapon pierced his heart.
Shen Yingsi gripped Qingyun tightly, struggling and resisting, but all to no avail.
He was knocked down once again, and Qingyun fell to the side, suppressed by a mass of black energy.
"Look, everyone! It's a god! It's the lofty and supreme god of the green lamp!"
A demon stepped on Shen Yingsi's face and shouted excitedly, "I'm going to perform a heart-ripping act with my bare hands!"
The demon grinned and reached straight into Shen Yingsi's chest, pulling out a heart and throwing it into the demon horde, where it was instantly crushed.
"what!"
Shen Yingsi's face was contorted with rage, his eyes wide open; for a moment, he was unaware of his own existence. This state lasted for several minutes.
"Is he dead?"
"How could that be? If it were that easy, he would have died a million times over."
Shen Yingsi also thought he was going to die, but his mind began to recover, his mouth and nose began to breathe heavily again, his wounds began to heal, and something new began to sprout in his empty heart.
He opened his eyes, feeling the excruciating pain; he was still alive.
With trembling hands, Shen Yingsi forcefully pulled the foot off his face and used his spiritual power to knock it down.
But the demon didn't care at all. He shouted, "He won't die! His wounds will heal on their own, and his hands and feet can't be cut off. But he'll still feel pain! His heart will grow back soon. Everyone, go and take his heart out again!"
"We might be able to pull out his internal organs too! Quick! Move aside, let me try, let me try!"
Shen Yingsi crawled, trying to grab Qingyun, while Qingyun's spear, sensing its master's call, struggled against the suppression of demonic power.
Just as Shen Yingsi was about to grab Qingyun, his hand was stepped on by the demon.
Countless sharp weapons pierced towards him, and the entire space was filled with his screams.
He wanted to die, but he couldn't.
“You all deserve to die! You all deserve to die.”
His eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was trembling. This immortality only ensured that his body would not die; he would suffer every wound and pain that was supposed to be inflicted.
He kept approaching death, but whenever he was about to die, his body would regain some strength, and he would be able to fight back again.
He pulled out the sharp weapon from his hand and stabbed it fiercely at the demon beside him.
As a result, many demons on the demon side were also injured.
After a while, the nightmare gets tiresome.
"Time is running out, it's time to start the next game. Otherwise, those old folks will come looking for us again."
Nightmare unleashed a powerful attack. The demons scattered, and Shen Yingsi coughed up another mouthful of blood, as if he were about to vomit his internal organs.
He lay motionless on the ground, his flesh mangled and bloody, and his eyes seemed unable to open.
Nightmare looked at him with pity, shook her head, and spoke with concern in her voice.
"You must be exhausted from relying on this last bit of strength to stay alive every time. Do you want to die? I can help you. If your body can't die, then we'll die in our dreams. Life is hard. Don't wake up again, Green Lamp."
Suddenly, a flute appeared in Nightmare's hand, and the other demons fled in panic.
Shen Yingsi was in so much pain. Being hurt hurts, and the wounds heal themselves hurt.
His consciousness was fading when he suddenly heard a soft sound of a flute.
