Had the mission been completed just like that?
Bai Feng was in disbelief.
But speaking of which…
How could he use these points?
Forget it, let's get through this first.
"Cough cough…"
Bai Feng forced himself to calm down. He cleared his throat and said, "You don't have to say anything. Until now, you haven't revealed everything to me."
"Ah."
Upon hearing this, the young girl stuck her head out of the other party's arms like a kitten.
"You said just now that you were instigated by a traitor and that was why you had the intention to kill your master."
"You're the disciple I raised. I know your personality very well, so…"
"I'm willing to believe you."
Bai Feng said coldly, "But! You must state the name of this evil person!"
As someone who knew the game's plot very well, he naturally knew the cause and effect of the poisoning incident.
The reason why he asked this was only to restore his persona.
"Master, I…"
Hearing this, Cen Xing'er lowered her head with a conflicted expression.
[With the Master's personality… he will not let go of anyone who dares to plot against him.]
[But… I owe a debt of gratitude to second senior sister. I definitely can't tell on her…]
[Then there's only…]
With mixed emotions in her heart, the girl bit her lip and made a decision. "Master, it's Xiao Chen, the direct disciple of Yingui Hall!"
"It's this evil person! He's been trying to sow discord between me and Master! Not only that… he often uses sweet words to confuse second senior sister! He's trying to make second senior sister hate Master!"
"But…"
"What happened today has nothing to do with second senior sister! It's all because Xing'er is stupid and was deceived by Xiao Chen! I beg Master to punish Xing'er in the cruelest way, as long as… you don't chase Xing'er down the mountain!"
The girl said anxiously and knelt down again.
There was a long silence.
A cold voice floated over from above.
"Listen, Xing'er, I can give you a chance."
"However, you need to do something for me to atone for your sins…"
"Yes! Master, please instruct me!"
Without any hesitation, the third direct disciple of the Youluo Palace replied.
…
…
At the entrance of Youluo Hall.
"Master, don't blame me…"
"In the past, when you became the disciple of the alchemy expert, the Evil Medicine Master, when you realized that his motive for you was impure, you seized the opportunity and killed him."
"And now, Lingyin is merely retracing the path you took back then.
"If you don't die, the three of us will live in your shadow forever and will never be able to transcend…"
Tantai Lingyin looked in the direction of the Blood Chef Cave Abode, her beautiful eyes solemn.
"Junior sister Xing'er is out!"
Xiao Chen said excitedly.
Tantai Lingyin looked over and saw a young girl in a light pink dress walking over.
The two of them exchanged glances and rushed over at the same time.
"Junior sister Xing'er! It's great that you're fine! I was so worried just now!"
Xiao Chen said with a concerned expression. Then, he reached out and was going to take the opportunity to hold the girl's hand. Unexpectedly—
This junior sister of the Youluo Hall retreated quickly, as if she was deliberately keeping a distance from him!
The look in her eyes…
It was clearly filled with disgust!
"Xing'er, you…"
"The way you took half a step back… Are you serious?"
The corners of Xiao Chen's eyes twitched, and his hands hung awkwardly in midair.
Logically speaking, in the ten years he had been undercover in the Cangming Sect, he had helped these two beauties do many things openly and secretly, gradually gaining their trust!
Even Cen Xing'er, who had been brainwashed by Bai Qingling, gradually stood on his side and willingly called him senior brother Xiao!
But now.
He was just trying to hold her hand…
Why was she so resistant?
The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. He was about to ask something.
However, Tantai Lingyin pulled Cen Xing'er aside and said gently,
"Junior sister, tell me, did you… succeed? Why didn't you send a message to me as we agreed?"
"Senior sister, Xing'er…"
Cen Xing'er lowered her head and gritted her teeth. "Succeeded."
"Succeeded!?"
Xiao Chen's eyes widened. The resentment on his face gradually turned into ecstasy!
"Junior sister Xing'er! You've really succeeded?! Did Bai Qingling really let his guard down and take that poisonous pill?"
Xiao Chen was both happy and shocked. He felt like he was in a dream.
When he was 12 years old, he went undercover at the Cangming Sect on his master's instruction.
Three years passed, and another three years passed!
A full ten years!
He didn't dare let his guard down at all, it was like walking on thin ice!
And now… he had finally gotten rid of the demonic dao magnate whose name shook the entire continent!
This also meant that when he returned to the righteous cultivation world in the future, he would definitely be the chosen one, sought after by tens of thousands of people!
However, Cen Xing'er didn't even look at him. She said to Tantai Lingyin, "Just as senior sister said, Bai Qingling was too conceited. He thought that he had already controlled me, so he wasn't vigilant at all. He immediately consumed the Ethereal Soul Devouring Powder."
"And? How did he react after taking it?"
Tantai Lingyin continued to ask.
"There didn't seem to be much reaction…"
Cen Xing'er shook her head and said, "He asked me to leave first. Then, he went to the underground secret room himself."
"Tsk, there's no hurry."
Seeing that the two girls were ignoring him, Xiao Chen wasn't bothered anymore. He stretched his back and said to himself, "My master… I… bought the Ethereal Soul Devouring Powder from the Wuyang City black market at a high price… Seven days! Seven days later, the poison of the Soul Devouring Powder will be derived to its peak. Even an almighty in the Dao Integration Realm will not be able to escape death, not to mention Bai Qingling, who is only a Divine Transformation Realm expert!"
"Deal."
Tantai Lingyin nodded and said, "If what junior brother Xiao said is true, we'll wait for another seven days. However…"
"There's something I haven't understood completely. I would like junior brother Xiao to enlighten me."
"Senior sister, why don't you go straight to the point?" Xiao Chen raised his eyebrows and said.
"As far as I know, my master… No, although that demon has done countless evil deeds and has enemies everywhere, he has no grudges with you, junior brother Xiao. Therefore, why do you insist on working with us? Why did you take the initiative to provide such a shocking poisonous pill?"
Tantai Lingyin looked at the young man coldly.
Hearing this, Cen Xing'er's heart skipped a beat as she looked over suspiciously.
"Well…"
Xiao Chen's heart trembled as the two women looked at him intently. Then, he revealed a rueful expression. "Do you still need to ask this?"
"I don't have any grudges with Bai Qingling, but…"
As he spoke, he looked up at the sky and tried his best to make his expression look more sincere.
"That demon has been suppressing and bullying the two of you for a long time. He is my enemy! I constantly think of getting rid of him and saving the two of you from the hell you are in! Therefore, do the two of you still not understand my intentions…"
"Enough!"
Tantai Lingyin's face turned red when she heard the other party's frivolous words. She interrupted angrily, "Let's get back to the main topic!"
"If the rumors outside are true, that demon was really seriously injured by Mu Xinlan. Now that he's poisoned by the Soul Devouring Powder, he'll definitely die in seven days!"
"Therefore, we don't have to take the risk to break the restriction and enter the Blood Kitchen now."
"When the time comes, Xing'er will enter the Blood Kitchen to investigate his corpse and update the sect's ancestors, the twelve grand supreme elders, and the other three hallmasters."
"This situation would make sense."
"At the very least, even if the patriarch suspects us, he will only turn a blind eye. After all, Bai Qingling has made too many enemies in his life. No one will speak up for him."
"Tsk, as expected of senior sister Tantai. Wonderful."
Xiao Chen was overjoyed and gave a thumbs up.
"Alright, it's getting late. I have to go back and practice swordsmanship with my master."
"Senior sister Tantai, junior sister Xing'er, let's… meet again in the future~"
Once he finished speaking, the eldest direct disciple of Yingui Hall hummed a tune and stepped into the air.
Only the two little beauties were left on the cliff. They looked at each other with lonely expressions.
"Xing'er, tell me the truth. Are you… feeling very sad?"
Tantai Lingyin looked at her junior sister and asked gently.
"Senior sister, actually, have you ever thought…"
Cen Xing'er's eyes reddened as she said softly, "Master might not be what we think he is? He's just a little stricter with us. He won't hurt us…"
"That's not possible."
Tantai Lingyin shook her head sadly. "Did you know that after that demon killed his master back then, he cursed and killed hundreds of his fellow disciples in order to hide what he did?"
"I… I've heard about this too, but… didn't Master let a junior sister go back then?! This means that… he still has kindness in his heart!"
"So what? The demonic path is not the evil path! He's cruel and he kills indiscriminately. He has no bottom line to speak of. He's recognized as the most evil person in both the righteous and the demonic paths. He deserves to be punished!"
Tantai Lingyin said, "Therefore, you don't have to feel guilty. Do you understand?"
"Okay, got it…"
Cen Xing'er's gaze was complicated, but she thought to herself, "Senior sister, don't blame me. This is all Master's orders…"
"Yes, you've worked hard today. Go back and rest first. Don't think too much."
Tantai Lingyin's voice became much gentler. "After this demon dies, we'll go and fetch eldest senior sister back. The three sisters can reunite as soon as possible!"
"Yes! Senior sister!"
Cen Xing'er nodded and asked, "What about you, senior sister…"
"There's nothing much going on in the sect recently. As the Left Protector, I have nothing to do. It's rare for me to return to the Youluo Hall. I'll take a walk around."
Tantai Lingyin turned her head again and looked in the direction of the Blood Kitchen with a disappointed and frustrated expression.
After her junior sister left.
The tall figure of the second disciple of the Youluo Hall actually bent down slightly and bowed into the distance with a sad expression!
"Ling Yin thought that she hated you to the core."
"However, until this moment, I still miss you…"
"So many things have happened since we were young. How can we forget them? How can we forget them all?"
"Perhaps it's just as senior sister Feng said. Even if we destroy your physical body, the three of us sisters will still live in your shadow for the rest of our lives and become your slaves, never to be free…"
"Master."
"Allow Lingyin to address you like that for the last time."
"Tantai Lingyin, second disciple of the Youluo Palace, bids farewell to my master—Venerable Demon Qingling!"
