Chapter 26: Strategizing of White Emperor Bai Lian (2)
She spoke softly, yet the words held a weight that could shake the very world. “Pointing your finger at me isn’t a big deal. But if you dare take it any further, you’ll find yourself turning the world upside down!”
Hmph.
Her voice echoed in all directions!
Marquis Wu’an clenched his fists in frustration.
(〃´皿`)q
The people around them suddenly burst into laughter.
“Come on, what are you waiting for? Fight with White Emperor Bai Lian!”
However, even in his rage, Marquis Wu’an, still the dignified Marquis Wu’an, managed to restrain himself.
With a deep breath, he let his clenched fist drop slowly, his strength seemingly drained.
(〃＞皿＜)乀
With a twisted expression on his face, Marquis Wu’an turned abruptly.
“The wheel of fortune turns! You’ll regret this one day!”
After throwing out those words in bravado, he swiftly flew towards Tianyi City.
Seeing Bai Lian not pursuing him, Marquis Wu’an couldn’t help but laugh inwardly.
The vastness of the ocean lets fish leap, the high skies let birds soar! He had survived!
Haha… Haha… Haha…
He sped off, pushing himself to his limits. The wind howled, and everywhere he passed, it seemed to carve deep trenches into the earth.
Once he had left, Bai Lian sighed in relief.
She laughed inwardly too.
Yay! No wonder she was the White Emperor—such an impressive performance, even her master would have to applaud her!
For a moment, Bai Lian had considered fleeing immediately, fearing Marquis Wu’an might send someone to test her true strength. If that happened, they would quickly discover she wasn’t as strong as they imagined.
But the people around her… they were incredibly annoying! They stood there, gossiping as if they were old friends.
“Is this melon ripe?”
Bai Lian’s anxiety began to mount, sweat beading on her forehead.
(；≧д≦)
Go away, go away!
It wasn’t until nearly a quarter of an hour later that the crowd slowly dispersed. Those who were severely injured helped each other as they left.
The night descended like thick ink, and Bai Lian breathed a sigh of relief.
Placing her hand on her heaving chest, she calmed herself.
After sweeping the area with her Divine Sense and confirming she was no longer being watched, she made her way swiftly to the scattered pieces of the Sansheng Stele.
It was time to leave!
“Martial Sister?”
Bai Lian called softly.
But there was no response.
Frowning slightly, she gathered her Divine Sense and shaped it into an arrow, gently piercing into the heart of the Sansheng Stele.
It didn’t take long before she found the Fourth Martial Sister’s soul.
In the distance, it appeared as a large, round, white, warm, and cozy presence.
Bai Lian made her way closer.
She called out again, but still, there was no answer.
However, instead of feeling discouraged, Bai Lian wrapped her Divine Sense gently around the Fourth Martial Sister’s soul, as if covering her with a soft blanket.
The moment their souls met, a rush of valuable information flooded her.
This transmission would last an entire day, and its subject? The fragments of the Sansheng Stele.
An idea sparked in Bai Lian’s mind.
She withdrew her Divine Sense, and with a steady hand, she began extracting each fragment of the Sansheng Stele. Soon, she slung the now-shrunken pieces of the stele over her shoulder.
She was running away with the entire Sansheng Stele!
ﾚ(ﾟ∀ﾟ;)ﾍ=3=3=3
After causing quite a stir for most of the day, Canglong Garden finally settled into an eerie silence.
In the years to come, it would remain the “mystery cave” in the minds of all who had witnessed the events that evening.
—
On this very night, something peculiar happened.
A shooting star streaked across the sky above Tianyi City.
It was none other than Marquis Wu’an, who had been running to the point of exhaustion.
Without any obstacles in his way, he plunged into the back garden of the palace, landing with a swift thud after ten seconds.
“Your Majesty.”
As soon as he landed, Marquis Wu’an quickly adjusted his posture and shouted toward the “young man” standing beneath the osmanthus tree.
“How did it go?”
Xu Pan turned, his breath ragged, his face unnaturally pale.
Marquis Wu’an immediately inquired, “Are you alright?”
Xu Pan shook his head. “After a few exchanges with the people of the Taixuan Taoist Sect, though I sustained injuries, neither side gained the upper hand. How about you?”
Marquis Wu’an bowed respectfully, then slowly took out a green bottle.
“It’s done.”
“Good!” Xu Pan exclaimed, a gleam of excitement in his eyes.
The moment had arrived.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
Taking the bottle, he summoned his subordinates to accompany Marquis Wu’an to the secret forbidden land of Heluo.
The blood of the black dragon was just an ignition agent.
Such a divine substance was the only thing capable of lighting the spiritual fire within the Gate of All Living Beings, a fire powerful enough to slay both gods and immortals.
But just as the fire ignited, things went awry.
“It’s gone out. It went out again!”
Marquis Wu’an’s brain buzzed with disbelief.
In that moment, it clicked.
No wonder Bai Lian had been so confident—because she had eradicated the Dragon’s Resentment hidden within the blood of the black dragon!
Without the Dragon’s Resentment, the Gate of All Living Beings’ divine fire could only burn for a fleeting moment.
To compensate for this loss, they needed something just as potent, a conviction as powerful as the Dragon’s Resentment to serve as fuel.
Forty years of searching for the blood of the black dragon… all for this.
Forty years!
“Bai Lian! It’s you again!”
Suddenly, a mournful roar of fury echoed throughout the forbidden palace.
