Chapter 26: Strategizing of White Emperor Bai Lian (1)
When Yue Wuyang departed, she left a trail of fire in the night sky.
Like a swordsman drawing a brilliant blade of light toward the heavens.
Under the impact of this radiance, the rain that had been falling relentlessly throughout the night finally ceased.
The truth became clear: even the sky has its limits, unable to continue its endless downpour.
Tick tock…
At this moment, only the remaining water in the potholes remained.
After the rain, Canglong Garden was a mess. The surrounding green fields for miles had turned into a swamp, muddy and impassable.
Fortunately, few people lived here; otherwise, countless disasters might have followed.
But now, no one cared.
Besides the anxious Marquis Wu’an, the one whose heart shook the most was the old priest of the Taixuan Taoist Sect, who had to face him.
He would never forget the scene when he first saw Yue Wuyang.
When his eyes fell upon the woman stepping out of the golden light, only two words echoed in his mind—stunningly beautiful.
So terrifying!
With a single kick, the wicked Kite was crushed. Was she a god?
Right after that,
The old priest’s worries, fears, and other emotions dispersed.
He stared blankly at Yue Wuyang’s feet.
He could watch them for an entire year and never grow tired of it.
But…
In an instant, he shook his head violently.
There was something wrong.
Although his heart couldn’t always remain still, after cultivating for a thousand years, he was certainly not the type of man to indulge in such thoughts about a woman’s feet!
“This momentum…”
It was immense, and terrifying!
The old priest dared not look directly at Yue Wuyang again. But it was then that he discovered something even more astonishing.
Just a moment ago, he had been “immersed” in her beauty, but now, he had completely forgotten her appearance.
The only words left in his mind were “barefoot,” “bewitching,” and “celestial beauty.”
He hastily looked up, then tried to gaze upon Yue Wuyang once more.
No matter how hard he tried to remember her face, as soon as his eyes strayed, the image would vanish—like the memory had been forcibly erased.
He tried repeatedly and eventually confirmed that this was the influence of the law of force.
His face turned solemn.
Bai Lian had outwitted Xu Pan and Marquis Wu’an’s plans with her supreme wisdom, which was initially good news.
But Yue Wuyang’s arrival drained him of all energy.
The appearance of an Immortal was certainly not good news for the Taixuan Taoist Sect.
“The message must be sent back immediately.”
After observing that Bai Lian’s attention was fully consumed by the fragments of the Sansheng Stele, the old priest quickly called his fellow disciples to withdraw.
He led the way, and the rest followed him, leaving behind only a few injured disciples who were unable to move, along with a sweating Marquis Wu’an.
Marquis Wu’an was too frightened to leave.
Bai Lian did not spare him a glance, but if he attempted to flee, it was unclear what would happen to him.
Bai Lian, however, was contemplating another question.
How could she rid herself of Marquis Wu’an safely?
Although her strength had grown significantly, it was still impossible to kill Marquis Wu’an on the spot.
If she cornered him into a dead-end, she and the Fourth Martial Sister would be in grave danger.
Suddenly, an idea flashed into her mind.
If she was going to make a statement, it was time to go all the way!
She turned her back to Marquis Wu’an and spoke coldly, emulating An Lan’s commanding tone.
“Just like I told the people of the Sword Washing Pavilion, I won’t kill you. This grudge will be settled by my Martial Sister herself.”
Spending time with An Lan had its benefits.
Bai Lian had successfully absorbed 1% of An Lan’s ability to speak with such authority.
This was enough to leave Marquis Wu’an’s heart shaken and uneasy.
Perfect!
Her words quickly dampened Marquis Wu’an’s confidence.
How could he not have heard of what Bai Lian did for Xiao Jinse in Henning City?
To let Yu Ying kill him in the future?
Hmph!
Marquis Wu’an’s mind raged.
Despite Yu Ying’s originally poor talent, now that she was Bai Lian’s Martial Sister, it would be no challenge for her to rapidly increase her cultivation.
He guessed that it would take Yu Ying about a hundred years to catch up with him.
But…
How could he remain stagnant for so long?
Bai Lian’s intelligence ensured she was fully aware of this, and the fact that she spoke with such confidence only proved her assurance.
Confidence? That was good.
If Bai Lian were not so confident, he would not have walked away from this encounter alive today.
As long as he lived, there was hope for a breakthrough.
Marquis Wu’an accepted that Bai Lian was the most formidable opponent he had faced.
But he would not give up.
He had overcome countless challenges before, and he would overcome this one as well.
Even the Immortal Emperor cannot control everything.
“Your confidence will one day be your downfall!”
Marquis Wu’an was eager to return to Tianyi City to build the Gate of All Living Beings.
But he knew he could not rush. He needed to find a way to make Bai Lian lower her guard.
After a brief pause, he began to make his move.
“You…”
Marquis Wu’an’s voice was thick with emotion.
He trembled, the fire in his eyes burning brighter.
He wanted to step forward, but his right foot refused to move any further.
Damn it!
Bai Lian was thrown into a panic.
No way… was someone actually going to challenge her over that sentence?
Think fast. What did Master An Lan do when faced with a similar situation?
Ah!
Suddenly, Bai Lian’s eyes lit up.
