In the land of western Hunan, an old farmer was carrying a little girl on his back, walking on a trail with no end in sight.
The old farmer's face was already covered with sweat, and he was panting heavily, but he still didn't dare to take any pause.
"Grandpa, where have we been? It's so cold."
The little girl behind the old farmer was about seven or eight years old. Her face was a little pale, and her eyes that should have been beautiful and innocent looked very dim, and she couldn't even open them.
She huddled up behind the old farmer. Although their clothes were washed very clean, they still looked a bit shabby.
"Yinyin, dear, we will arrive at the hospital soon. Just hold on a little longer."
The old farmer had a look of distress on his face, and his pace quickened a lot again.
The two of them came from a small village in the mountainous area. There were not many people in the village. Originally, the scenery here was beautiful and they lived leisurely. But a few days ago, a black fog enveloped the world.
Then, people in the village got strange diseases one after another, and then died.
Some people survived, but most people suffered.
Among them was this little girl that the old farmer was carrying. There were no doctors with high medical skills in the mountains, so the old farmer carried the little girl to the county town overnight for treatment.
The old farmer was running so fast that he was almost exhausted, but he didn't dare to stop.
The sky was getting dark now, and the road underfoot was a little difficult to walk, but there was still more than ten miles to go from the county hospital.
The old farmer noticed the gradually weakening breath of his granddaughter behind him, and almost felt despair.
I haven’t shed tears in decades, and now my tears are falling like rain.
He gritted his teeth and said this to the little girl, preventing her from falling asleep while running quickly forward.
And when the sun was setting and the stars were setting, he also ran to a fork in the road.
He was very familiar with these two forks in the road. One was a shortcut that could save seven or eight miles of distance, while the other was a long detour.
Originally, when he went to the county town, he always took a shortcut, but about two or three years ago, this place seemed to have become a dead place. All the life inside was extinct, and only a lot of bones were left.
There are rumors in the village that there are undead people inside, but no one has seen it. However, a few brave people went in, but none of them came out alive.
Since then, this place has become a restricted area for everyone. They would rather take the long way to gain peace of mind than take the shortcut into this dead land and cross over.
Before, the old farmer could choose the long way without hesitation, but now, he hesitated at this intersection.
The condition of the granddaughter behind him cannot be delayed any longer, otherwise it may be too late.
The little girl's parents passed away early, and the grandfather and grandson depended on each other for life. If he couldn't save his granddaughter, then there would be no point in his life.
When he thought of this, the old farmer gritted his teeth and his eyes were moist: "Yin Yin, I will definitely let you live,"
After saying that, he resolutely rushed into the chilling shortcut.
The old farmer clearly felt that it was originally the dog days of summer outside, but when he entered here, he felt a bone-chilling chill.
He tucked up the clothes of the little girl behind him, and then walked quickly towards the depths without stopping.
The further inside, the more dead silence there is, not even the sound of insects.
There was only a flock of crows cawing on the dead branches.
There were phosphorus fires fluttering in the distance. The old man continued to move forward. Under the dim moonlight, he saw bones all over the ground.
He was so frightened that his calves were trembling, but he still didn't take a step back.
When he reached the depths, suddenly, the old farmer saw a figure in front of him.
He looked overjoyed and called out loudly, but the figure ignored him and continued to walk towards him.
Only then did the old farmer realize that something was wrong. It was already night, and this was a forbidden area in the village. It was dozens of miles in radius. They were the only one in the village, and there could be no one there.
Could it be...
The old man swallowed hard and felt a chill on his back.
This person may be the immortal person that has been rumored in the village.
When the old farmer thought of this, he was so frightened that he almost collapsed to the ground.
But it didn't matter if he died here, his granddaughter was still waiting for him to save, so he endured the fear and ran away.
However, at this time, a majestic and faint voice came from behind.
"Damnable humans, dare to come to my emperor's territory. If so, then stay and contribute your vitality to my emperor."
When the dark clouds that blocked the moonlight dissipated, the old farmer turned around and finally saw the figure of the man.
He is tall, wearing a golden dragon robe, and has a majestic face.
Although he is no different from ordinary people, his pair of dark and empty pupils look particularly strange.
Moreover, there is a golden sword stuck in his chest.
This long sword pierced it.
But he is still alive.
The person in front of me is none other than the Corpse Emperor.
The golden sword inserted in his chest was the Immortal Killing Sword that Yang Tian left on him.
The old farmer looked frightened, feeling like he was bound by an energy and unable to escape.
He knelt down directly to the Corpse Emperor and cried for mercy: "Sir, we didn't mean to disturb you. It's really my poor granddaughter who is seriously ill that's why she took this path. If you want to kill me, kill me. I just ask you to let her go."
Live my granddaughter."
"snort!"
The Corpse Emperor snorted coldly and said in a cold tone: "A mere ant is qualified to negotiate terms with me?"
Back in Tianfu, after he was seriously injured by Yang Tian, he became disgusted with the entire human race. Before, he would have been too lazy to pay attention to these two ordinary people based on his status.
However, the power of the fairy sword continued to consume his vitality,
Although he has an immortal body, the torture he endured for more than a month is unbearable for ordinary people.
He needs strong vitality to replenish the vitality consumed by the fairy sword.
The corpses on the ground are all people he captured, absorbing their vitality to make up for his own consumption.
Since these two people came to his door, he naturally would not let them go.
The Corpse King stretched out his hand, and strands of black light appeared in his palm. The old farmer was enveloped by the black light and felt desperate. However, at this moment, a sword energy as bright as day pierced the night and cut off the black light.
"Corpse Emperor, you attack ordinary people. You are really getting better and better as you live."
When a clear voice came, the corpse emperor's face became completely distorted.
"Yang Tian, I know it's you, get out of here."
His voice was earth-shattering, and the anger contained in it made even the old farmer feel scared and desperate.
At this moment, following the voice of the Corpse Emperor, a figure floated down from the sky.
The figure is dressed in white, with long silver hair that moves in a windless manner, slanting handsome eyebrows, slender and sharp black eyes, thin and lightly pursed lips, and sharp outlines.
He is like an eagle in the dark night, cold, aloof and solemn, yet powerful, and his loneliness exudes a strength that arrogantly dominates the world.
The young man landed on the ground, his whole body shrouded in immortal energy, like a banished immortal who had landed in the mortal world.
"Grandpa, is that elder brother an immortal?"
At this time, the little girl opened her eyes weakly and saw Yang Tian falling from the sky, with a look of curiosity on her face.
"this……"
The old farmer also had cold sweat on his face. He was just an ordinary person, but everything that happened today was beyond his imagination.
He didn't know the origin of this young man.
But at this moment, the young man was standing in front of them, confronting the Corpse King, and he had saved them just now, so he shouldn't be a bad guy.
After Yang Tian heard the weak voice, he looked towards the little girl.
After the little girl's slightly curious eyes met the young man's, she was so frightened that she shrank directly behind the old farmer.
The young man frowned slightly, then looked at the old farmer.
"How dare you bring her here with the corpse gas inside your body, risking your life?"
When the old farmer saw Yang Tian, he could tell at a glance that the little girl was sick. His expression was overjoyed. He knelt down on the ground and said with tears: "Please save my granddaughter, I will repay you even if I work as a cow or a horse in this life and the next."
The kindness of the immortal."
"stand up,"
The young man helped the old farmer up, and then used a ray of immortal energy to penetrate into the little girl's body.
The little girl's face turned rosy at a speed that was visible to the naked eye, and her big, bright and energetic black eyes looked at Yang Tian with even greater curiosity.
