Chapter 19: Billionaire Bai Lians!
Bai Lian gazed at Yu Ying, who was only half a foot away from her.
She wanted to say many things in her heart, such as scolding them loudly for not taking care of their master and coming here to take risks.
Is this a brain fart?
But that light and drifting sentence shattered all the anger in the bottom of her heart and swallowed it.
"Because you are my Elder Martial Sister!"
Precisely because there is this already inseparable relationship, even if some brain farts happen, they would be forgiven, don’t you think?
She remembered her master who came to stop her from leaving the Qiongming Peak.
Although her master scolded her fiercely, in the end, she still threw her the Heavenly Lord’s Lance.
Without this indestructible lance, even if Bai Lian’s strength had skyrocketed and even swallowed three Immortal Spirit Stones, she would not have been able to easily kill the Demon of the Outer Realm one by one, nor could she have lasted until the arrival of the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan.
"Take this."
Bai Lian forcefully handed the Heavenly Lord’s Lance to the Fourth Martial Sister.
Before she could retract her hand, the Fourth Martial Sister returned the lance to her.
"I have the fragment of the way of the Great Tao bestowed by our master, now I am strong enough. Elder Martial Sister can rest and recover while watching from behind."
"What?"
Bai Lian anticipated the Fourth Martial Sister’s action, but she didn’t expect the words ‘the way of the Great Tao’ to come out of her mouth.
Due to the urgent situation, Yu Ying didn’t explain in detail.
She only said as she turned around, "Our master single-handedly killed the invading Demons of the Outer Realm, and the siege of the Duxian sect has been resolved."
"Really?"
All of this was completely beyond Bai Lian’s imagination, to the extent that even her cold and frosty face showed a look of surprise.
Before she arrived, the master was so seriously injured that she would groan in pain at the lightest touch and stop after every step she took, with cold sweat on her forehead.
Could such a master not even beat an iron-headed goose, let alone beat the Demons of the Outer Realm?
"Really."
Yu Ying nodded solemnly.
Without turning around, her body turned into countless hard-to-catch sword qi when the water blue light scattered from her hair.
She ventured into the void, leaving her footprints wherever her force went.
This is the magic of the Void Sword. With the blessing of the way of creating new life, each sword qi is a hundred times stronger than before!
"Is this Bai Lian’s Martial Sister?"
Some sharp-eyed people recognized her at a glance.
The joy sparked by the arrival of reinforcements was instantly extinguished by a cold shower.
Oh no!
This is really going to be disastrous.
Bai Lian’s several Martial Sisters are rare geniuses, who have walked the path in just a few years which takes others decades, or even hundreds of years.
But their cultivation time is still too short after all.
How can they deal with the demons?
"Stop them!"
"We can’t let them die in vain."
The thoughts of the Demons of the Outer Realm are not inferior, but their position is completely opposed to the righteous cultivators.
"Wanting to delay the time?"
"Take you hostage for a good purpose!"
Dozens of Demons from the Outer Realm rushed in from all sides, blocking all of Bai Lian’s escape routes.
From a distance, there was a faint white light at the center of the world, and countless ghosts and demons tirelessly stretched their claws into the light.
Just when the claws were about to touch the girl in the white light, a water-blue mark suddenly appeared in the void.
Sword slash!
"This is a sword that is able to easily pierce through my body."
Bai Lian sat quietly in place, absorbing the surrounding Spirit Qi and murmured.
The Demon of the Outer Realm closest to her could almost grab her hair with just one step forward.
But that one step was an impassable chasm forever!
The pupils of the Demon of the Outer Realm gradually lost focus, and his dry lips trembled, making a hoarse voice, "Why is your Martial Sister’s strength not much different from yours?"
"Because she is my Martial Sister."
"…"
A faint water-blue scratch appeared on the chest of the Demon of the Outer Realm.
The next moment.
Its body shattered into countless pieces smaller than yellow sand, and when the wind and snow in the ice pillar prison rolled, these debris were blown away completely out of sight.
Too sudden.
No one could even see how the Demon of the Outer Realm died.
The killing coldness blew out from the ice pillar prison, causing the threatening Demons of the Outer Realm to stop in their tracks.
The more invisible people were, the more oppressive the pressure on top of one’s head became.
"How is that possible?"
"Illusion?"
A sense of death began to permeate.
In fact, not only the Demons of the Outer Realm and cultivators, but even Bai Lian who was confident about her Fourth Martial Sister, and Yu Ying herself, didn’t expect this sword to exhibit such magnificence.
Opposite them was Qing Luan.
Qing Luan’s strength was not inferior to Yu Ying’s, after all, she had the bloodline of Qing Luan Divine Bird and had obtained a complete inheritance on Mount Sanwei.
However, her Qing Luan’s Flames, though ferocious, were far from being able to kill the Demon of the Outer Realm with a single blow.
"What’s going on?"
Bai Lian was puzzled.
What is the difference between Martial Sister Qing Luan and the Fourth Martial Sister?
Could it be that the master is biased and has given more fragments of the Great Tao’s way to the Fourth Martial Sister?
Bai Lian’s attention was quickly diverted to other matters.
Suddenly, in the cage of the "Born for Sunshine" ice column, a series of blue waves emerged without warning.
At first, it was only a gentle breeze that brushed the waves, but in the blink of an eye, the gentle waves turned into towering waves at the center of the storm, mixed with a massive amount of condensed spirit Qi.
Such movements naturally didn’t escape the attention of others.
After a brief discussion, everyone present thought that Bai Lian was about to use her ultimate move.
The grandeur of this move was so magnificent that it was bound to be earth-shattering!
Perhaps one strike could kill all the Demons of the Outer Realm present.
"Finally, are you going to show us your true skills?"
The mood of the Demon Lord hidden in the dark was also aroused.
He and Bai Lian were not in the same camp after all. It was the best opportunity to understand Bai Lian’s true strength.
The elusive swordsmanship of Yu Ying and the relentless floor washing style of Qing Luan forced the already desperate Demons of the Outer Realm into a greater frenzy.
When they were sent, they were full of confidence, but now they only want to escape from this hell!
In fact, the person who was most uneasy throughout the audience was none other than Bai Lian.
She only concealed it well, to the point that no abnormalities could be seen on her face.
"What on earth is going on?"
Bai Lian occasionally clenched and loosened the hand hidden in her sleeve.
Just now, although she had clearly stopped operating the cultivation method, the True Secret of 500 Million Dharma Bodies automatically started running out of control!
The speed was almost beyond her limit.
A massive amount of spirit Qi was forcibly stuffed into her body like a hard plug, causing her meridians to expand.
In the dantian of her Qi sea, spirit Qi was constantly entering and leaving, like a stirring fire stick, and intense pain instantly covered her entire body like a rising tide.
Bai Lian clenched her toes together and desperately stretched forward, but such movements did little to alleviate the pain.
She saw the surplus spirit Qi overflow, soaking her body, and realized that if it continued like this, she would eventually burst open.
However, Bai Lian could don’thing but fret.
As time passed, the task that had already appeared several times came up again.
[Task 1: Break through to the Transmigration Stage by forcibly crossing the Guafeng Disaster (Reward: Great Luo Sword Embryo)]
[Task 2: Postpone cultivation (Reward: Focus +1)]
"How can we delay this!"
Bai Lian realized the seriousness of the problem.
The spirit Qi continued to enter her body. Even if she didn’t want it to, if it continued for a while, the Guafeng Disaster would naturally be attracted when the amount of spirit Qi accumulated to a certain extent.
With her current physical strength, she could even cross ten Guafeng Disasters without any problems.
The Transmigration Stage?
The breakthrough would be made as soon as it was mentioned.
"Don’t, please stop!"
Bai Lian wanted to seal her meridians and stop the huge spirit Qi from entering.
However, she seemed incredibly fragile now. Whenever she used a little "force," the spirit Qi broke through the blockade and squeezed into her meridians.
Resistance had become a luxury, and the only solution at present was to find a way to vent.
Bai Lian first thought of Qianhuan Real Eyes.
Qianhuan Real Eyes is a huge energy-devouring tool. Its previous owners in Wuheng Snow Valley died due to excessive use of it.
Soon, Bai Lian found her hopes dashed.
After years of companionship, she had already tamed Qianhuan Real Eyes.
She infused her spirit Qi into Qianhuan Real Eyes, but in the end, all she did was dye her own eyes into a dazzling ice-blue, as if they were about to burst at any moment.
"Then I must turn to the Demons of the Outer Realm."
Bai Lian held onto her right eye and focused her gaze on the Demons of the Outer Realm.
She came to a despairing realization.
After experiencing two consecutive waves of battles in which she fought hundreds of Demons of the Outer Realm, their numbers had been greatly reduced.
Yu Ying and Qing Luan knew they couldn’t last long, so each strike was aimed to kill.
With each repeated attack, the Demons of the Outer Realm were either killed or frightened out of their wits.
Escape!
If not now, when?
At a certain moment, when Bai Lian locked eyes with a Demon of the Outer Realm with her icy blue gaze, it clutched its chest in fear, cackling and retreating continuously.
It had never seen such terrifying eyes before!
Yu Ying and Qing Luan are scary enough, but now that Bai Lian, who is surrounded by an atmosphere of murderous intent, has fixed her gaze on them, is there any chance of survival?
Death is certain, but at least it can’t be at the hands of Bai Lian, which would ruin the Demon Emperor’s plan.
With this thought, the Demon of the Outer Realm hardened his heart and actually commit suicide in from of others.
"…"
Everyone was startled.
Is this White Emperor Bai Lian’s true power, that she only needs her gaze to kill the Demon of the Outer Realm? It’s terrifying!
Extremely terrifying!
They too could rely on their gaze to kill people, but they could absolutely not directly annihilate a demon their eyes!
Bai Lian became even more perplexed.
Once all the demons of the Outer Realm are dead, is she really going to attack the air?
Will be considered as a deviation from Qi, won’t it?
Nevertheless, those two Martial Sisters were still making playful noises, seeming to celebrate having helped her for the first time on the front lines. Later, every time they defeated a Demon of the Outer Realm, they would turn back to her and seek recognition.
Elder Martial Sister, do you see how skilled I am?
Elder Martial Sister, do you see how sharp my sword is?
Confound it, the two of you almost killed me together!
Bai Lian quickly formed a hand seal and, with a raised hand, performed the Sunset Sword Technique that she usually needed to conserve her strength for.
This sword strike was extremely powerful, killing a Demon of the Outer Realm in an instant, but she couldn’t manage even a smile.
This was already the most strenuous spell she could perform, and yet the amount of energy it required was a drop in the bucket compared to the spirit Qi that was pouring into her body.
What should she do, what should she do? People would die if things continued this way, and it might not be just her. It could be many people…
Many people.
Eureka!
Bai Lian’s left eye also lit up at this moment.
She suddenly remembered that the True Secret of 500 Million Dharma Bodies, not the Sunset Sword Technique, was actually the most energy-consuming of all the spells she mastered.
There’s no time to hesitate.
Once Bai Lian made up her mind, she immediately began to concentrate on creating her avatars.
Those around her witnessed an utterly miraculous scene–
One Bai Lian appeared.
Ten Bai Lians appeared.
One hundred Bai Lians appeared.
One thousand Bai Lians appeared.
Bai Lian’s number is still increasing, and the people who see this scene have become numb.
This is not an illusion or a simple avatar technique; each Bai Lian possesses strength comparable to that of a Transmigration Stage cultivator.
What kind of scene is it when thousands of Bai Lian punch at the same time?
Each little fist is a torch, and thousands of torches put together make the earth seem like a furnace!
Close the fist.
Throw the fist.
A burst of spirit Qi!
This is a crushing technique that is beyond everyone’s imagination; the simplest, most brutal, and most ruthless.
The last few dozen Demons of the Outer Realm, who were in the furnace, were completely crushed before they could even scream.
"…"
The surroundings were silent, with no one speaking.
Only the constant sound of cracking ice echoed in their ears.
After the dissipation of the spirit Qi, two vast ravines appeared before everyone’s eyes, one on the ground and the other in the sky.
The Demon Lord had a bad premonition arise in his heart.
Bai Lian’s displayed power had already exceeded his expectations, and even if he were to step forward, it would be difficult to stabilize the situation.
When there was a clear imbalance in power, there was no need to continue trading.
"Has it finally stopped?"
Bai Lian looked calmly at the ravine before her, with neither happiness nor sadness on her face.
When the True Secret of 500 Million Dharma Bodies stopped operating, the pain within her body finally disappeared.
Although the crisis had temporarily subsided, she didn’t feel at ease.
Who can guarantee whether this situation will occur again next time?
Who can guarantee that the method of condensing the drama bodies will still work next time?
A layer of cloud appeared between Bai Lian’s brows, and the situation had completely slipped out of her control.
She stood in the center of the ruins, looked up, and felt that the whole world had become a huge ball of confusion that was elusive.
"Elder Martial Sister."
A timid call sounded in her ear.
Bai Lian put down her worries, turned around, and welcomed Yu Ying and Qing Luan, who were walking from a distance, with a smile on her face.
Yu Ying looked somewhat depressed, "Elder Martial Sister is so strong! I thought I could finally help Elder Martial Sister this time, but it turned out I was still no more than a mediocre person…"
Her voice stopped abruptly, because Bai Lian had taken a step forward and hugged her.
"Without the sword you stabbed, I might have died here."
Yu Ying shook her head, "Elder Martial Sister, you don’t need to comfort me."
Bai Lian released her hand, "Some things are not suitable to be said now."
She turned around and glanced at Qing Luan, hesitated for a moment, and then went forward to hug Qing Luan.
Qing Luan, who was suddenly attacked, was stunned on the spot.
"Bai, Bai, Bai…"
Her teeth trembled, and she couldn’t even say a complete word.
She secretly glanced at Yu Ying and found that Yu Ying didn’t show any unusual emotions, secretly relieved.
But at this moment, Bai Lian’s body stiffened.
"How could it be?"
The True Secret of 500 Million Dharma Bodies, which had clearly stopped running, started operating on its own again.
Clear ripples of water swayed around her body.
She saw the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan as if they were delectable cream cakes, wanting to "devour" them.
"Elder Martial Sister, what’s wrong with you?"
Seeing Bai Lian repeatedly backing away, Yu Ying and Qing Luan were both dumbfounded.
Is this being rejected?
"…"
Bai Lian wanted to explain a few words. She raised her hand but in the end, she said nothing.
She found that her body had calmed down again.
She stared at her hand absentmindedly.
Was it because of touching the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan that this condition appeared?
This is obviously not right. You should know that she and the Fourth Martial Sister have had an intimate relationship to the extent of "you play the sword and I play the scabbard", and nothing happened back then.
Moreover, just now the Fourth Martial Sister and Martial Sister Qing Luan were struggling with the Demons of the Outer Realm, and she didn’t even touch them and still had problems.
"Should I try it again?"
While Bai Lian was pondering, footsteps were heard behind her.
She turned around and saw Qingxuan Sword Master and others walking towards her.
Seeing this, Yu Ying and Qing Luan also held back what they were going to say. The important thing was to focus on the matter at hand, and it was not the time to quarrel.
…
The attacking Demons of the Outer Realm were all dead, and the Demon Lord disappeared without a trace. The disaster seemed to have ended here.
After dark.
In the former sacred mountain forbidden area.
Bai Lian gazed at the shimmering lake with a dazed expression.
After a dozen breaths, someone hurried out from the shadows.
"White Emperor Bai Lian."
The arrival was Ying Shi, her face pale and though her injuries were under control, they had not yet fully healed.
"Fairy Ying Shi."
Bai Lian nodded lightly.
But behold, Ying Shi held an ancient mirror in her hands, identical to the Future Mirror on Bai Lian’s own hand.
"The Sacred Mountain is no longer able to protect this Future Mirror. Saint Lord explains that it can only be safely kept in White Emperor Bai Lian’s hands."
"Thank you."
Bai Lian politely took the Future Mirror.
This was one of her purposes for coming to the Yaochi Holy Mountain.
"Will it be busy from now on?"
"Hmm." Ying Shi nodded, "But because the threat of the Demon of the Outer Realm has not been eliminated, the reconstruction work will have to be postponed for a while."
Bai Lian smiled and said, "As long as we are alive, there is hope."
Ying Shi lowered her head and said, "A while ago, I spent a lot of time reading White Emperor Bai Lian’s Green Emperor’s Legend. At that time, I only thought that the Green Emperor was a great figure of the time."
"And now?"
"We are alive because there are people and things in this world that we care about."
"Ying Shi, you have changed."
"Perhaps it’s because I understand what I want and then feel a sense of responsibility."
Bai Lian comforted, "The Saint Lord will be fine, and the Yaochi Holy Mountain will be fine too."
Ying Shi nodded with a smile, "I used to be so foolish, believing that standing at a height would subject me to scorching flames. All thanks to White Emperor Bai Lian for awakening me."
Bai Lian said, "A person is always growing, including myself."
Ying Shi murmured, "I won’t trouble White Emperor Bai Lian anymore. When I came here, White Emperor Bai Lian’s two Martial Sisters were still standing outside the cave, constantly peering inside."
"Then, until tomorrow."
Ying Shi bid farewell and left.
Although Bai Lian thought about the Martial Sisters outside the cave, she still had another matter to attend to at the moment.
In the depths of the cave, a tall figure emerged from the shadows.
That person was none other than the long-disappeared Demon Lord.
Bai Lian had considered tearing up the agreement with the Demon Lord since the crises of the Duxian sect and the Yaochi Holy Mountain had already been resolved.
But she gave up upon seeing the new tasks released by the system.
The reward for tearing up the agreement is a Focus of 22 points, even with the addition of two Martial Sisters, it would still be difficult to survive.
How strong is the power of the Demon Lord?
"Go on."
She threw one side of the Future Mirror to the Demon Lord.
The Demon Lord stared at Bai Lian dumbfounded.
To be honest, after witnessing the power of a billion Bai Lian’s combined attacks, he no longer had much hope of obtaining the Future Mirror.
But Bai Lian still threw the mirror to him without hesitation.
"White Emperor Bai Lian, why are you willing to believe that I am not misleading you?"
Bai Lian hesitated before saying, "I don’t believe that you genuinely want to cooperate with the Demons of the Outer Realm."
"…"
A gloomy blue light appeared in one eye of the Demon Lord.
"One day, White Emperor Bai Lian and I will have a battle, but…"
He paused.
"Before then, I will show White Emperor Bai Lian through my actions that you will never regret this partnership with me."
Bai Lian remained noncommittal and instead asked, "If one is injured by the Demon of the Outer Realm and the wound refuses to heal, what should be done?"
"Take the blood of the Demon of the Outer Realm."
The Demon Lord’s voice echoed in Bai Lian’s sea of divine sense, as he had completely melted into the darkness and disappeared.
His departure was quite decisive.
Taking blood?
"I have been lying all along."
Bai Lian held the other side of the Future Mirror, which reflected her stunning beauty.
She murmured softly, "The Future Mirror, can you tell me where I come from and where I am going?"
