Chapter 30: Who Is This Demon Woman? (1)
The long night was intoxicating.
Some people went to bed early.
Some people were still sweating in a fierce “battle.”
Someone leaned against the stone table in the pavilion, her right hand propping up her cheeks. Her eyes were blurry, and her cheeks were slightly flushed.
The eldest princess took a sip of wine. She gazed at the bright moon in the sky and her reflection in the pool, and suddenly sighed.
What a heartless woman!
The veil she had taken off was still warm at the time, but before it cooled down, Bai Lian obliterated it as soon as she turned around.
“Is this a Saint’s nature?”
It was really annoying.
The eldest princess sighed again.
She held her small wine glass and was about to take another sip when a dazzling white ripple suddenly appeared in the distant dark night.
The eldest princess jumped to her feet, so fast that she left a shadow in place.
“This is…”
Her Divine Sense quickly spread far away. The moment it touched the light column thousands of miles away, her lips parted slightly, and her face was no longer tired.
Fierce!
This was the first thought that came to her mind.
The beam of light shot up into the sky with an irresistible momentum. As she approached it, she felt as though she was about to be burned.
If she went any further, she would probably be torn apart!
The eldest princess recoiled in fear.
Under the bright beam, the entire Tianyi City awoke in the middle of the night.
Countless cultivators rushed out of their rooms. Some were surprised, some were afraid, and some were feeling greedy…
The eldest princess looked up and saw a large black shadow flying from the left part of the imperial city. She knew they were the Shadow Guards, directly under the emperor’s orders.
Only during a major event would the Shadow Guards be dispatched.
A moment later, a familiar figure appeared in her sight.
“Marquis Wu’an!”
The eldest princess’s expression changed.
It suddenly occurred to her that the source of the beam of light wasn’t too far from the ruins of the Canglong Garden.
Could it be…
The eldest princess released her Divine Sense again.
There were many others doing the same thing, so no one found her behavior suspicious.
No mistake!
The eldest princess’s face turned as pale as snow.
From the sharp intensity of the pillar of light, she discerned a gentler, motherly strength.
Hiss——
If she wasn’t mistaken…
“This is Bai Lian’s aura!”
Damn.
The eldest princess immediately understood that Bai Lian must have caused this light pillar.
Just seeing this column of light made her fearful. If Bai Lian unleashed all her power, would she be completely obliterated?
The eldest princess couldn’t help but recall the scene when Bai Lian fought her that day.
The fight had been simple.
The Special Effects had been amazing.
She had always thought that she lost because she accidentally fell into Bai Lian’s Star Moon Field.
“I’m stupid, really.”
The eldest princess gave a wry smile.
In fact, Bai Lian had deliberately hidden her true strength!
If she thought about it carefully, it became clear why Bai Lian did this.
Bai Lian had used all those Special Effects, just to make her loss not so “difficult to accept”!
Maybe it was for Yu Ying’s sake, maybe it was for her own, or maybe it was for both reasons.
“Funny. I thought I was stronger than her after I completed the ceremony.”
She guessed that with Bai Lian’s true strength, she could have defeated her with one foot.
What is a Saint’s true nature? This is it!
For no reason, the eldest princess felt a strong jealousy toward Yu Ying.
But soon, she shook her head again.
Don’t blame Yu Ying.
The fault lies not with others, but with her!
She shouldn’t have said those words when she tried to persuade Bai Lian to join Xingluo Fortress.
Even if the Duxian sect were destroyed, she would never abandon her sect.
“There is always a way!”
The eldest princess said to herself.
Although there was a gap between her and Bai Lian, she still had a chance to close it!
For Yu Ying’s sake, Bai Lian would surely compete with Marquis Wu’an and her emperor brother in the future.
There would be no shortage of opportunities for her to interact with Bai Lian. Right now, she needed to show sincerity, as Bai Lian valued honest people.
By the way, the eldest princess took out her jade slip again. She had to inform her partners in Xingluo Fortress about what had happened here.
She needed to tell them, “Don’t provoke Bai Lian and the people she values!”
……
When the cultivators of Heluo Country rushed toward the mountain from all directions, Bai Lian had already fled hundreds of miles with the “Yu Ying Sword.”
Yu Ying Sword.
This was the name she gave to the “weapon” she held in her arms.
At first, Bai Lian wanted to put the Yu Ying Sword into her storage pendant.
She wasn’t used to carrying weapons when she went outside, and the Yu Ying Sword was very hot. Though it didn’t hurt her, it was still uncomfortable.
But Bai Lian failed.
She first tried the conventional method of riding the Yu Ying Sword with her Divine Sense.
She tried over ten times, standing on the sword, but it didn’t move. It also didn’t go into the storage pendant when she wished it.
Bai Lian had no choice but to use another method.
She simply grasped the hilt of the sword and stabbed it into her chest.
A clear sound responded to her.
Ding!
The point of the sword collided with the pendant.
Fortunately, the pendant was hard enough, or it might have chipped.
Okay.
I give up.
Bai Lian rolled her eyes and realized that the Yu Ying Sword was a “living” sword with feelings.
At the moment she stabbed, the temperature of the sword noticeably rose.
“I wonder when the Fourth Younger Martial Sister will complete the test.”
Bai Lian quickly made her way to the Guangtong sect’s domestic passenger terminal in Heluo. On the way, she didn’t forget to ask An Lan.
[Master, where are you now?]
When the message was sent, An Lan didn’t answer her for a long time, which puzzled Bai Lian.
“?”
Bai Lian was a little confused.
The last time she was in Hening City, when she sent a message, Master An Lan replied in less than ten seconds.
She had been very fast then!
Had Shifu wandered into some ruins that could block the messages from the jade slip?
Bai Lian put the jade slip away.
There was no need to worry about An Lan’s safety. Unless she entered a Period of Decline, no one in this world could kill her.
Bai Lian continued her journey eastward.
She knew that someone would head toward the mountain to investigate, but it had nothing to do with her.
She just wanted to return to Qiongming Peak as quickly as possible.
But things don’t always go as planned.
