Chapter 24 Part 2: An Lan, Resisting and Welcoming at the Same Time (2)
Apart from the cold blue color on her toenails, she could not see any other colors anymore.
It appeared as if this was a flawless sculpture crafted from cold white jade, with no superfluous elements that would detract from its aesthetic beauty.
Clatter—
The sudden impact caused An Lan to turn around and flee.
She dared not stay any longer.
Whenever her gaze dropped even an inch, she felt as if she were plunging into an abyss of countless fathoms.
The same applied to looking up.
Neither up nor down, so the only option was to run, right?
“Master!”
Bai Lian shouted.
After a long while, she finally responded, “There has been some unusual activity in my cave; I need to return as soon as possible!”
“…”
Do you really think I would be fooled by such words?!
Bai Lian stooped down to pick up the bath towel.
When she stood up, she dried herself and looked down again.
It was truly flawless!
This body perfectly suited the surname Bai (White)—except for the hair and eyelashes, there was no black visible anywhere on the exterior.
Bathed in the cool moonlight, Bai Lian stepped out of the bath.
She casually hung the bath towel on the wall, then leisurely changed into a new outfit before walking toward her own room.
The master became anxious, and so did she.
You see, her dream was to become the pillar that supported her master from below!
However urgent it might be, the fourth Martial Sister’s injury hadn’t fully healed yet, so she wouldn’t rush in directly.
She replied to Yue Wuyang first, with an entirely reasonable explanation.
[My fourth Martial Sister is in the critical period of breakthrough. I must keep an eye on her and have no time to visit your place at the moment.]
Yue Wuyang was speechless.
Martial Sister?
She is actually your daughter or disciple, isn’t she?
She would not just wait around like this.
After using the Immortal Seal to suppress the curse marks on her lower abdomen, Yue Wuyang hurried toward the East Divine Land.
Over the next two days, Bai Lian carefully tended to the fourth Martial Sister, administering Thousands of Flowers every few hours to heal her wounds, ultimately nursing her back to health.
“Then let’s depart tomorrow.”
“Hmm.”
Yu Ying nodded excitedly.
She was both looking forward to her harvest at the Original Dragon’s Nest and anticipating her journey with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.
Ah, being alone together was simply delightful!
She dreamed of what might happen between her and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian on the way.
Although she was filled with anticipation, Yu Ying remained calm as she always had.
She was like a gentle girl walking out of an ink painting.
She was always gentle like water, only revealing her wild side when pushed to the extreme, charging forward like a crazed blade.
In the morning light, Bai Lian lowered her head.
[Task 1: Charge! Even if it’s the dragon’s pool or the tiger’s den, we must go in and give it a try. (Reward: Spell – Sunset Sword Technique)]
[Task 2: The Original Dragon’s Nest? Forget it! (Reward: Seeker’s Incense)]
These were just newly emerged options.
The Sunset Sword Technique was easy to comprehend. It was the second form of the Moon Sword Formula of Star Lord Yaoguang, possessing the might to cleave stars and subdue immortal gods.
Bai Lian couldn’t quite understand why the reward description didn’t give a high rating to the Sunset Sword Technique, which was essentially equivalent to a top-tier Spirit Tool.
In truth, the risk a top-tier Spirit Tool represented was already extremely hazardous for Bai Lian.
The Sunset Sword Technique was the immortal skill that Yaoguang Star Lord relied on to become famous, so why was its value so low?
“Is it because I have mastered the Moon Sword Formula?”
Bai Lian furrowed her brow slightly.
The Seeker’s Incense of Task 2’s reward was not a treasure for seeking matrimonial fate, but rather a tool for searching for individuals, which she held in futility.
Besides, she couldn’t possibly not go to the Original Dragon’s Nest.
Let the fourth Martial Sister go alone?
Bai Lian wouldn’t allow it.
Choose Task 1.
“Let’s go.”
Bai Lian looked back at the fourth Martial Sister.
In these recent days, the fourth Martial Sister had grown a little taller, and with the thickness of her shoe soles, she and the fourth Martial Sister seemed almost the same height.
“Hmm.”
Yu Ying boldly reached for Bai Lian’s palm.
She didn’t shake hands with Bai Lian because she felt like she was a “sword”—a sword belonging to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian that could be wielded however Bai Lian wished.
This posture was just perfect now.
Neither would it scald Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian, nor would it annoy and harm the Second Elder Martial Sister and the Third Elder Martial Sister bidding farewell behind them.
Yu Ying ultimately guessed wrong.
“Damn it!”
Xiao Jinse and Su Youwei(Hong Yi) were very angry now.
I never expected you, the gentle Fourth Martial Sister, to dare to do such a brazen thing!
But they dared not speak up for fear of angering Yu Ying.
Yu Ying was too strong; the three of them combined were no match for her.
Why?
Su Youwei and Hong Yi gazed at each other.
Strength, my strength, come quickly to save the situation!
After half an hour, Bai Lian and Yu Ying left the Duxian sect with a heavy “curse.”
Their destination was The Original Dragon’s Nest located in the Nightfall Marshes of ancient Hega Province.
Hega Province was one of the thirteen ancient maritime provinces mentioned by King Daming.
But unlike Mingzhou that was merged into the East Divine Land, in that great war that affected the whole world, Hega Province became a sacrifice, with the vast majority sinking into the boundless sea, leaving only a few mountains that had not been overturned to transform into overseas islands.
“The Nightfall Marshes should now be at the bottom of the sea, which means the place we have to go is the West Sea Dragon Palace.”
On the Cloud Chasing Boat, Bai Lian smiled at the fourth Martial Sister.
The warmth transmitted through their hands gradually calmed Yu Ying’s tumultuous inner being.
She didn’t know if this road was safe, but she only knew that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian was by her side, so she had nothing to fear.
This time, she would transform herself into a dragon, promising Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian a myriad of mountains and rivers!
Wait for the long sword to come out of its sheath.
As long as Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian lay down and enjoyed, everything could be done by her without any effort.
Bai Lian flew for a day before finally arriving near the sea region depicted on the ancient hand-drawn map by the fourth Martial Sister.
It was hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the East Divine Land.
The vast expanse of sea spread wide and far, with no end in sight. Only the gloomy sky revealed a faint glimmer of eerie green light, much like the Aurora.
Even if they ignored the chill in the air, Bai Lian still sensed that something was amiss.
How could the surroundings near the nest of the Original Dragon, a divine beast with extremely strong fire-type energy, look like this?
Bai Lian gazed into the distance, but she could not see the islands at all.
“Is it at the bottom of the sea?”
Just as she hesitated, a huge vortex suddenly appeared on the sea.
A massive oppressive force surged forward.
After a few seconds.
The waves parted and a massive turtle emerged, its head protruding from the water.
“Master Turtle?”
Bai Lian was startled.
The turtle was also surprised, “White Emperor Bai Lian?!”
“How come you’re here, senior?” asked Bai Lian.
The black turtle explained, “I travel around the four seas, and I heard that this sea area has been experiencing many anomalies recently, so I came to investigate.”
Bai Lian nodded her head.
Master Turtle could be considered the uncrowned king of the boundless sea; at least on the surface, there was no sea demonic beast more powerful than it.
At the moment of reflection, Bai Lian’s expression suddenly changed.
Wait!
She knew the true strength of Master Turtle, which was definitely more formidable than her current state.
Since Master Turtle was already here, why was the task still so risky?
This wasn’t reasonable!
She stared at the green light, only vaguely feeling as if she had seen this scene somewhere before.
At that moment, Master Turtle, who was still greeting her, suddenly turned his head and asked, “Who is it?”
Bai Lian followed its gaze.
That was a void, but the space there visibly fluctuated.
Someone was there.
Bai Lian remained silent.
She hadn’t noticed anything unusual just now, which implied that the person was stronger than her, at least in terms of their perception of space.
Exposed!
At this moment.
Yue Wuyang, hidden in the darkness, was astonished.
She hastened to press her own chest.
It had taken her quite a while to figure out Bai Lian’s whereabouts. Naturally, she didn’t want to miss this opportunity to test the depth of Bai Lian’s true strength.
So she followed along, risking it all.
Upon seeing the ominous green glow in the distant skies, she immediately realized it was an opportunity.
As long as Bai Lian employed even a bit of the unique moves belonging to the Immortal Heavenly Lord, her mission would be deemed accomplished.
What surprised Yue Wuyang was that she had already used all her tricks for hiding, yet her whereabouts were still spotted at a glance.
Is this the power of an “Immortal Emperor”?
She was familiar with that dark turtle as well.
When in North Luzhou, and in Qingxu, it had always been by Bai Lian’s side.
It was highly likely to be the spirit pet that Bai Lian had conquered!
With even the spiritual pet being so powerful, to what extent would Bai Lian herself become strong?
Human Immortal?
It couldn’t be wrong; Bai Lian would definitely not be inferior to that Demon Lord.
Upon such thoughts, Yue Wuyang became even more apprehensive.
She involuntarily clamped her legs together, feeling a burst of flames from the curse mark on her lower abdomen, causing her to feel uncomfortable all over her body.
It was certain that the hiding could no longer continue.
She could only venture out with an audacious countenance, raise her right hand, and smile radiantly.
“How coincidental, White Emperor Bai Lian!”
