The Healer Demands Payment!

Chapter 90

Meng Qi was ready when she turned around. She hadn't gotten off the cliff yet, but the silver medical knife was already in her hand. For cultivators, the distance between her and Ji Wujiong's cliffs was not wide. It was an easy pass in normal circumstances, unless the fissure was filled with devil aura waves attacking anyone who tried to cross.

Seemingly perceiving Meng Qi's intention, the waves intensified in their rage. One after another, they slammed into the cliff frantically. The earth-shaking momentum seemed to be about to knock down the entire cliff at any moment.

Meng Qi stopped on the edge of the cliff. She now had more than ten times more aura in her body. With a thought of her mind, a sliver of aura flown out via the tip of her silver knife as she drew an array on the ground. Meng Qi had already clasping a handful of spirit stones in her left hand. Once she finished drawing, a flick of her fingers sent eight ninth-grade spirit stones to fly toward the array without delay.

In the blink of an eye, the array activated.

Amidst the soft light, a group of ghost puppets emerged from the ground. The little white figures received Meng Qi's order and rushed towards the cliff.

The ghost puppets overlapped each other. In an instant, they formed a bridge connecting the cliff on Meng Qi's side with Ji Wujiong's.

"Huh?" The woman's gentle voice rang again, "You actually..." She seemed to sigh softly: "Why do you do this?"

Meng Qi did not reply. As soon as the ghost puppets began to form the bridge, she had already rushed forward and stood on the edge of the cliff. She was only one step away from the bridge made from dozens of small ghost puppets. It looked narrow and flimsy. Even if only one person crossed, the bridge looked very dangerous.

More and more ghost puppets emerged from the ground. Some began to climb onto Meng Qi, protecting her body like a makeshift armor.

Unlike previous times with the stones or the box Meng Qi threw, the huge waves from the black sea didn't attack the bridge at all. On the contrary, the devil aura seemed to be gentle towards the ghost puppets. After Meng Qi summoned them, the huge waves that were hitting the cliff suddenly became quieter.

Meng Qi took a deep breath. She was actually making a bet here. In the beginning, she had no idea what kind of devil aura filled the sea. But the Senior's words made her realize that this should be Ji Wujiong's heart demon. Those devil aura would swallow everything, but they might treat those of the same origin kindly.

Meng Qi decided to use Ji Wujiong's array and summoned these ghost puppets. Sure enough, her bet was paid off. Those devil aura didn't attack the ghost puppets.

Meng Qi took a deep breath and tightened the grip on her knife.

"Young Daoist." The woman's voice called again, "If you don't cross, the cliff is the only safe place. Once you leave it, the devil aura will gain a chance to break through the barrier around the cliff." She paused and then continued: "At that time, you will end up accompanying him to perish here."

"Thank you, Senior." Meng Qi bowed respectfully once again. She then turned her gaze to the opposite cliff, where the black-robed young man was lying motionless. Meng Qi herself was actually not sure whether the choice she made at this time was correct or not. However, she knew one thing for sure: even given a hundred chances, she would still refuse to leave alone.

Therefore, there was no need to hesitate!

Meng Qi clenched her knife tightly and began to sprint. The little ghost puppets protected her layer by layer, while a rickety narrow bridge was the only support under her feet.
