Chapter 20: With Bai Lian Here, We’re Safe Now! (1)
No more rain!
Now, only the deep cold remained.
After all, standing before the crowd, holding a sword with an emotionless expression, was “that” woman!
In the ice field bathed in starlight, the Shadow Guard at the front involuntarily clenched his fists. The frost whitened his brows, and his body shivered slightly.
If this were a game, the world before his eyes would be flashing a glaring red with a big “WARNING” in the center of the screen.
Extremely dangerous!
The information he had memorized earlier surfaced in his mind.
Bai Lian.
At just 19 years old.
She was the Eldest Martial Sister of the Qiongming Peak at the Duxian Sect.
The strongest disciple in the history of the Duxian Sect.
The greatest genius the sect had seen in the past five thousand years.
She was the woman of fate, luck, and destiny.
In the eyes of the world, she was the Natural Saint!
Her first appearance in the world had been when she met Master An Lan at a fruit stall in Tianfang Town.
At that time, she was just fifteen, with no cultivation base at all.
Her life before age fifteen was a complete blank.
In her own words—
“My parents are dead. I have no siblings, no home. I wandered aimlessly.”
The Eastern Divine Land was vast, and finding the past of a wanderer was no easy task.
If she had been an ordinary person, there were numerous supernatural methods that could uncover her past and future.
However, this woman was extraordinary from birth. No spell or Magic Tool could reveal her history or predict her future.
At first, people didn’t give her much attention.
That is, until she went to Nanwang Country in the Sand Region, and suddenly, everything began to make sense—
She was a reincarnated Immortal!
This explained the blankness of her experience before the age of 15. At that time, she had still been “buried” in the soil. How could she have any life experience?
With this revelation, many things that had once been considered rumors now seemed entirely plausible.
She could drive away tigers and kill wolves when still at the Qi Refining Stage.
Reasonable!
She could defeat the ghost king and quell the riot of hundreds of ghosts at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Reasonable!
She could kill the snake demon and dragon demon at the Golden Core Stage.
Perfectly reasonable!
And when she reached the Nascent Soul Stage…
Her accomplishments became too numerous to count.
Bai Lian’s achievements were so remarkable that storytellers could write entire volumes in her honor.
Whenever people thought they had seen all she had to offer, she would unveil yet another incredible feat.
Think you can look down on her?
Those who did… were dead.
“Can you understand me?”
It was truly beyond anyone’s ability.
The Shadow Guard’s forehead began to sweat.
How had he ended up facing such a monster?
He would rather confront the deacons, elders, and swordmasters of the Taixuan Taoist Sect all at once than face Bai Lian now.
What should he do?
A storm raged in the Shadow Guard’s heart.
Bai Lian’s words—”Who dares to stop me?”—boomed like thunder, almost causing him to collapse where he stood.
It wasn’t that he was afraid.
He simply couldn’t withstand it.
Before, he would have charged at Bai Lian without hesitation, fighting for the interests of Heluo.
But now…
The Shadow Guard sighed.
A few months earlier, during a mission, he had discovered that his younger brother was still alive.
He couldn’t die here, not when he had a brother to care for.
He must return home.
He wanted to see his brother grow up.
He wanted to watch his family thrive on this noble, beautiful land.
“I can’t die, I can’t die…”
As the Shadow Guard sank deeper into despair, Kite’s heart was far from calm.
Fear?
Excitement?
Pride?
Maybe all of it, just a little bit.
If Bai Lian had arrived a quarter of an hour earlier, everything might have been different.
But, alas, she had been just a little too late.
After breaking the ancient array, Marquis Wu’an quickly collected the blood of the black dragon in his bag.
The blood left beneath the shattered Sansheng Stele was merely bait, carefully placed by Marquis Wu’an.
While others focused on it, they had already lost.
However…
“The premise is that I can survive!”
Kite took a deep breath.
This was Xu Pan’s deal with him, his final test. If he could make it out of Canglong Garden alive, his entire life would be reversed.
In the past, he had been just a small carp drifting in shallow waters.
But after this day, he would leap over the Dragon’s Gate and become a true dragon soaring in the skies.
That was the Migration Stage!
In this state, he could reshape both body and soul.
Afterward, he would no longer be human, and the world would no longer concern him.
But it didn’t matter.
Go ahead.
Kite’s gaze turned resolute.
He longed, he pursued, he would gain.
He raised his hand gently and spoke to the Shadow Guards at his side,
“Stop her before I take out the blood of the black dragon!”
This command caused both Bai Lian and the Shadow Guard at the front to tremble in unison.
There were hundreds of people here.
If there were only ten, Bai Lian was confident she could defeat them all.
After all, she was powerful, and her endurance was unmatched.
