It was a bloody space, about a hundred miles wide. Down below was a sea of blood, and above in the sky hung clusters of blood-red clouds. Just the sight of it would send one's mind reeling and render the soul unstable. Between the sea and the clouds was suspended a huge folding chair of bones, and on it sat a bloody fiend. He was surrounded by dozens of naked girls, all of whom were dancing sexily, posing in all kinds of poses that would make one blush and have one's heart race.
Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le focused their minds and stared quietly at the fiend. Little Que'er had closed her eyes, and her body was protected by a ring of crimson flame that was as clear and pure as glass. No fiend could pass through this ring of flame and harm her divine soul. It was a well-known True Flame of the phoenix, the 'Nanming Flame', and it came with a variety of magical effects. Guarding the divine soul was just one of the effects.
