Chapter 517: Lady Calico’s Dilemma
Flames engulfed the land, burning fiercely.
Amid a scene that resembled a great catastrophe of heaven and earth, a swallow flew low. It constantly changed direction, weaving through the inferno as if entirely unaffected by the scorching flames.
Meanwhile, Lady Calico had taken on her human form. It was riding atop the jujube-red horse, galloping swiftly while following the swallow’s flight path.
Yet, even as she rode, she couldn't resist glancing back.
Through the haze of fire and smoke, she could faintly make out the figure of the Daoist soaring with the wind. Compared to the towering willow tree and the ancient parasol tree, he was nothing more than a tiny speck, narrowly avoiding the willow branches that lashed down at him.
However, just as he ascended into the sky, an immense force crushed him back to the ground.
“...!”
The calico cat’s heart clenched.
But there was no time to watch any longer.
Even though Song You had cleared a path for them in advance, summoning divine flames to cover the ground, demons and ghosts still emerged from the shadows to block their way.
These creatures were frenzied and bloodthirsty—where they had been hiding before was unclear. But now, upon seeing outsiders, they charged forward without hesitation. Some even fought recklessly, showing no fear of death.
