Chapter 14: The Worries of Bai Lian

Before arriving at Yaochi Holy Mountain, Bai Lian was already prepared for the possibility of her own death.

It was impossible for her to say that she wasn’t afraid when she found out that the Demon Lord and the Demon of the Outer Realm had launched their attack ahead of time.

However, this fear was not enough to make her back down.

Humans have multiplied on this vast land for millions of years, experiencing countless dark ages during this time, but human civilization has never been interrupted.

Whether it is great love or small love.

Let it be Little Love, then.

When crisis strikes, there is always a certain emotion that triumphs over fear, unleashing a radiant glow like that of the sun, even from the frailest of individuals!

Bai Lian had such a feeling at that moment.

Like a drifting duckweed, she had already considered the Qiongming Peak as her own home during the past few years’ experience.

Whether it is the master, Martial Sister, or the jade rabbit, everyone is an indispensable member of this family.

Her biggest dream is not to become the emperor who rules over all, nor is it to become a legend that lasts forever. She just wants her family to sit together neatly around the table and enjoy every day of the four seasons.

This family may be a bit noisy – Bai Lian doesn’t expect the Second Martial Sister and the Third Martial Sister to become best friends who share everything.

Actually, a little noise is normal.

Friction is inevitable between people, as long as everyone can understand each other, this family will become even more warm.

"Fairy Ying Shi, let me escort you down the mountain," Bai Lian turned to Ying Shi and said.

Ying Shi, who was just panicking, immediately lifted her head when she heard this, "No, I can’t leave. They are still on the mountain. I can’t escape alone!"

Her eyes contained longing, as if she wanted Bai Lian to take her with him.

Bai Lian put on a serious face, "Fairy Ying Shi seems to have not figured out the situation yet, this is not fleeing, but seeking help! Have you forgotten what your sect’s Saint Lord said to you? If you go back now, you will completely cut off their hope. I won’t lie to you, I don’t have much confidence either. The strength of the Demon of the Outer Realm far exceeds your imagination, the strongest ones among them definitely possess terrifying power comparable to Immortals! Perhaps your sect’s Saint Lord could use immortal instruments to delay them at the beginning, but once the delay is too long, he will definitely be defeated. Ying Shi, your time is running out."

"Th-th-then…" Ying Shi was already at a loss and could only place all her hopes on Bai Lian. "What should I do?"

Bai Lian inserted a brand-new Jade Message Slip into Ying Shi’s arms, "Contact the allied forces. This is not a matter concerning only a household or two. Once the goal is achieved, the entire East Divine Land will be harmed by the Demon of the Outer Realm!"

Seeing that Ying Shi accepted her proposal, Bai Lian immediately set off to send Ying Shi thousands of miles away.

"I’ll go first…"

"White Emperor Bai Lian."

Ying Shi called out to Bai Lian who was about to leave.

"What’s wrong?"

Bai Lian looked at Ying Shi with confusion.

"Thank you."

Bai Lian’s mouth slightly curved, "I’m also doing it for myself."

Ying Shi shook her head lightly, "White Emperor Bai Lian was the first to come over in times of crisis. If it weren’t for White Emperor Bai Lian, the Yaochi Holy Mountain would probably have…"

Bai Lian interrupted Ying Shi, "I haven’t done anything yet, and even if I hadn’t come, the Yaochi Holy Mountain would still have been saved."

"This…"

Ying Shi’s eyebrows trembled with skepticism.

Bai Lian said, "Did you read my book, Green Emperor’s Legend?"

"Mm-hmm."

Bai Lian smiled, "At that time, the situation was a hundred times more dangerous than it is now, with half of the East Divine Land fallen. However, even at that time, there were still people who stood up and passed on the torch in the darkness. The Demons of the Outer Realm have ravaged this land more than once, but they have never succeeded, and this time will be no exception."

"…"

"Fairy Ying Shi, I’ll take my leave first."

Leaving Ying Shi in a daze, Bai Lian disappeared directly.

Ying Shi sat at the table for a long time before suddenly taking out a book.

That is the widely circulated "Green Emperor Chronicles" nowadays, which was greatly promoted by Tong Yao and Zhao Haiya.

"Green Emperor."

Snap.

Ying Shi suddenly closed the book with force, then took out the Jade Message Slip given to her by Bai Lian, and quickly sent the current situation of Yaochi Holy Mountain to the sects who had good relationship with it.

After finishing all this, she stood up unsteadily, supporting herself with her injured body.

She had done all she could. She didn’t know what the recipients of the message would do, but she was a member of the Yaochi Holy Mountain and could not just sit idly by while others tried to save it.

Her abilities may not be adequate, but she knew where every restriction of Yaochi Holy Mountain was located and how to open them. At critical moments, they might have miraculous effects.

Those restrictions were the foundation of the holy mountain, built by the painstaking efforts of many predecessors.

It was precisely because of these foundations that the Demon Lord and the Demon of the Outer Realm failed to immediately breach the holy mountain, and it was also why Saint Lord had the chance to send her out.

Ying Shi walked slowly, and her injuries severely slowed down her pace.

If it weren’t for that, she would not have witnessed the astonishing scene.

"That is…"

Ying Shi paused.

But then, dozens of colorful lights suddenly appeared in the distant sky, and when the lights flew over her head, they stopped.

As the light dissipated, the person standing in front of her was none other than Qingxuan Sword Master, who had not been seen for more than a month since appearing at the Taixuan Taoist Sect.

"How did Senior Qingxuan arrive so quickly?"

Ying Shi widened her eyes, with a look of incredulity on her face.

It had only been fifteen minutes since she sent out the call for reinforcements.

Qingxuan Sword Master said solemnly, "Several days ago, White Emperor Bai Lian told me that the true target of the Demon of the Outer Realm was the Sansheng Stele. I sensed that something was not right and decided to come early, only to find that I was still a step behind the Demon of the Outer Realm."

Ying Shi looked sad.

Qingxuan Sword Master said, "Time waits for no one, Miss Ying Shi. I will go ahead to Yaochi Holy Mountain, hoping to arrive not too late."

Ying Shi nodded immediately. She didn’t plead with Qingxuan Sword Master to take her, for she was now a burden.

Qingxuan Sword Master immediately took his followers to leave.

Their arrival was just the beginning.

In the next half hour, Ying Shi, who was slowly walking on the road, met with the Supreme Elder of Thousand Sword City, the palace master of Wushan Holy Palace, Master Xia of the Tianji Sect and others. Even the Taixuan Taoist Sect, which had recently been heavily damaged and had not yet been rebuilt, sent a number of people.

In the end, Ying Shi also met many unaffiliated cultivators who had been wandering around nearby and rushed over after hearing the news.

"These demons from beyond our world repeatedly invade the homeland of our fellow cultivators, which is truly detestable!"

"I have been taken care of by the disciples of the Bai Sect. Now that White Emperor Bai Lian is leading the fight against the Demon of the Outer Realm, how can I not be here?"

These unaffiliated cultivators, ranging from the strongest Soul Changing Stage to the weakest Foundation Establishment Stage, were all indignant, tightly grasping their weapons, wishing to kill the Demons of the Outer Realm.

"Everyone, calm down!"

Surrounded by the crowd, Ying Shi shouted at the top of her lungs.

The Demon of the Outer Realm is extremely frightening, and she could not just stand by and watch these people go to their deaths.

She even resorted to hyperbole to describe the strength of the Demon of the Outer Realm, but that didn’t manage to scare away those unaffiliated cultivators.

"Whether I die today or tomorrow, death is still death. I don’t want to see my daughter being bullied by these demons any longer!"

"Being the first to take action is one of the principles of Bai Sect!"

The crowd was filled with excitement.

It took a lot of effort for Ying Shi to successfully convince those unaffiliated cultivators to retreat.

"Yes, if we go now, not only will we be unable to help White Emperor Bai Lian and the others, but we will also be a burden to them."

"If it truly comes down to sacrificing lives, let it be me who starts."

"I’ll just sit here, Lady Ying Shi, please rest assured that I won’t do anything to make things difficult for you."

"Everyone…"

Ying Shi wanted to say something, but in the end, she sighed and said nothing.

She simply arched her hand and said, "Then I will go back to Yaochi Holy Mountain first."

"Take care of yourself, Fairy Ying Shi."

Ying Shi didn’t know how to describe her feelings. Clearly, she had an ugly bitter gourd face, but her heart was inexplicably warm, and even the pain in her body eased a bit because of it.

This world always surprises her when she is lost.

It is not her good luck, but the courage passed down from generation to generation of people who have experienced hardships is burning.

One year.

Ten years.

One hundred years.

Even after countless eons, spanning millions of years, this flame has never extinguished, as there will always be those who add more courage to it.

Ying Shi lifted her head.

The spring breeze of February blew her hair, carrying away her hopes, flying all the way to Yaochi Holy Mountain.

"Everyone."

Looking at the people behind her, Bai Lian slowly drew out the Heavenly Lord’s Lance that had been sealed.

Perhaps it was because they were there, that the risk assessment given by the system was only 19 points of Focus.

Times have changed, and through the refinement of the system, she can now be considered as one of the strongest groups beneath this very sky.

But this is far from enough.

The Demon of the Outer Realm used to be powerful, but now they are far inferior to Xianyuan Emperor, let alone compared to Red Dust Heavenly Lord.

If one cannot even cross this hurdle, saving the master is merely a naive joke.

"I’ll take the lead!"

Bai Lian stepped into the swaying clouds above the Holy Mountain without any hesitation.

…

At the moment Bai Lian and the others set off, the Demon Lord patrolling the Yaochi Holy Mountain received the news.

"How could they arrive so soon?"

Even his stern face couldn’t help but be moved at this moment.

He had a premonition that he would inevitably have a confrontation with Bai Lian sooner or later, but at this moment, he was completely unprepared.

It cannot be at this moment.

Nor should it be at this moment.

At least, until he accomplishes his goals, he will do everything in his power to avoid any conflict with Bai Lian.

Demon Lord floated in mid-air, silently watching the people of Yaochi Holy Mountain who were trapped in the immortal weapon barrier.

He couldn’t understand who leaked the news and brought Bai Lian here.

So be it.

It is not the time to think about this kind of problem now. The urgent task is to figure out a way to get the Future Mirror in the hands of Yaochi Holy Mountain.

Demon Lord immediately transmitted the message to the Demon Emperor of the Outer Realm.

He soon received a reply.

As they discussed before the operation, snatching the Future Mirror was a matter of being quick, accurate and ruthless.

If they fail this time, it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven for them to find the Future Mirror again when the righteous people are fully prepared.

"This plan is not bad."

The Demon Lord casually turned off the message sent by the Demon Emperor.

The message is neither long nor short, summed up in three characters –

Shift their attention!

Everyone knows about Bai Lian’s emphasis on the Duxian sect. If she suddenly received news that the Duxian sect was under attack at the crucial moment when she was preventing them from seizing the Future Mirror, what would she do?

Evacuate in time?

Obviously, the Demon of the Outer Realm would love to see this situation, as they could easily obtain the Future Mirror in that way.

If Bai Lian doesn’t evacuate, her mental state will be disrupted by the news.

When one’s heart is in disarray, it is easy to reveal flaws; and when there are flaws, one is vulnerable to attacks.

After much inquiry, the Demon of the Outer Realm has learned that Bai Lian has another piece of the Future Mirror.

Their initial plan was to first seize the Future Mirror of the Yaochi Holy Mountain, then seize the opportunity to surround and kill Bai Lian.

It seems that, if they are lucky enough, they might achieve their goal today!

The Sansheng Stele was originally a complete stone monument born on the cycle road, but later it broke into pieces and became the Past Stele, the Present Stele, and the Monument of the Next World.

These three steles each have divine effects, but the most magical one is undoubtedly the Monument of the Next World, which has the largest size among them.

It is said that the Monument of the Next World can’t only predict the future, but also reverse it and change established destiny.

And this is only a part of the abilities possessed by the Monument of the Next World!

Upon hearing this news, the Demon Lord is also tempted.

Fate, elusive.

Although it is rumored that the Heavenly Lord can overturn the past and the present, it is hard to resist the temptation of such a divine object, isn’t it?

While the Demon Lord was contemplating, Bai Lian, Qingxuan Sword Master, and others had already rushed into the Yaochi Holy Mountain.

Even in the face of disaster, the Holy Mountain remained as an otherworldly paradise, where every blade of grass and every tree remained unscathed. However, many people perished in the first wave of attack.

Those remaining, even with immortal weapons, could not hold on for much longer.

"In at most two quarter-hours, my spirit Qi will be depleted."

Saint Lord turned her head for a glance.

The other high-level elders of Yaochi Holy Mountain were sitting neatly behind her.

No one spoke, but she knew their spirit Qi was also running out.

The strength of the Demon of the Outer Realm was already impressive, and the strength of that Demon Lord far exceeded her imagination.

If not for that, her spirit Qi would not have been consumed so quickly.

It was only because she reacted quickly and summoned the immortal tool in time that those lovely juniors who were sitting on the ground in silence now would have probably been scattered souls.

"Hateful."

Saint Lord gritted her teeth, leaving deep marks in her palms with her fingernails.

Her gaze fell upon the small Saintess; initially, she intended to send the small Saintess away, but the latter privately found her and asked her to send Ying Shi, her sister, away instead.

The reason is that Ying Shi’s talent ranks first on the Yaochi Holy Mountain.

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have the ability to shoulder the heavy responsibility of rebuilding Yaochi Holy Mountain, but my elder sister is different."

Although young in age, the little Saintess saw through her true thoughts with a single glance.

Because the sudden turn of events was too unexpected, the Saint Lord actually didn’t expect Yaochi Holy Mountain to survive this crisis.

The words from the little Saintess struck straight into her heart.

She recalled the past.

Her Elder Martial Sister had said similar words to her and their master at that time. Without those words, she wouldn’t have become the Saint Lord.

The Saint Lord finally agreed to the little Saintess’s request.

"I hope she can live well."

The Saint Lord could only sigh in her heart and not show any anxious emotions.

And it was at this moment, that an unexpected event suddenly occurred.

Several of the Demons of the Outer Realm, who had been relentlessly attacking the Immortal Weapon Barrier, halted and flew towards the Yaochi Holy Mountain.

"Is it a trap, or…"

The Saint Lord quickly realized that it was not a trap, as she saw Bai Lian, Qingxuan Sword Master, and other familiar faces.

"What is going on?"

The Saint Lord was a little confused.

This scene completely exceeded her expectations!

But soon, a boundless joy surged up within her, they were saved, Yaochi Holy Mountain was saved!

Her gaze swept around, searching for Ying Shi’s figure.

When she discovered that Ying Shi was not among them, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"It’s better if she isn’t here, it would be dangerous if she was."

The intense battle erupted in an instant.

It was a death battle where no small talk could be made. Qingxuan Sword Master and others directly used their ultimate move right at the beginning. At this moment, they didn’t care about the damage the battle could cause to Yaochi Holy Mountain.

Buildings can be rebuilt, but if a human is gone, then they are truly gone.

Bai Lian, wielding the Heavenly Lord’s Lance of her master, easily crushed the attack of a Demon of the Outer Realm.

Even though it was a sealed lance, it was far superior to any sword she had seen so far. Even the Fourth Martial Sister could not compare to its hardness alone.

However, Bai Lian’s attack didn’t last long.

The Demons of the Outer Realm scattered, and a man in a black robe walked out.

He had a cold and stern face, and numerous vortex-like clouds floated around his dark cloak.

As he stood there, the once bright sky suddenly darkened. It appeared as if he had devoured all light around him, and the crowd’s eyes involuntarily focused on him.

"Demon Lord."

The voice of Qingxuan Sword Master was somewhat hoarse.

Even on Bai Lian, he had never felt such terrifying suppression.

The Demon Lord’s attitude, however, appeared extremely gentle.

"White Emperor Bai Lian," he shouted, and at the same time bowed to Bai Lian with a faint smile on his face.

Bai Lian didn’t speak.

This was the mountain she had to overcome.

As long as she could defeat the Demon Lord here, she would surely find a way to cure her master!

"In that case…"

Upon seeing Bai Lian’s silence, the Demon Lord suddenly raised his right hand.

Suddenly, the black vortex swirling around his body shot out, staining the nearby space ink-black in the blink of an eye.

When Bai Lian came to her senses, she found herself being dragged into a strange space.

"Field, is it a small world?"

She cautiously guarded the surroundings.

Suddenly, the voice of the Demon Lord came from the darkness, "White Emperor Bai Lian, I have some information that you will definitely be interested in."

Bai Lian asked, "What information?"

"At the moment you stepped into Yaochi Holy Mountain, the Demons of the Outer Realm launched an attack on the Duxian sect."

What?

Upon hearing this, Bai Lian’s pupils shrank suddenly, and endless fear flooded towards her like the darkness around her.

If her master were still healthy, this would not be something to worry about.

But now, the master is in so much pain that she can’t even walk, how can she fight against the enemy?

Go back, even if it is a lie, she must go back and see!

However, Bai Lian despairingly found that she could not find a way out.

The voice of the Demon Lord rang again, "I didn’t disclose this information to disturb White Emperor Bai Lian’s heart, but to show my sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

"Sincerity in cooperation."

"?"
