Salute to my master Qingling Demon Sovereign!

Is the mission completed already?

Bai Feng found it unbelievable.

However, speaking of it....

How do I use these Points?

Forget it, let's get through this hurdle first.

"Cough, cough..."

Bai Feng forcefully steadied his mind, cleared his throat, and said, "You need not say much. Until now, you have not bared everything to me."

"Ah."

Hearing this, the young girl poked her head out from the other's embrace like a kitten.

"You said earlier that you were incited by a villain, hence the murderous intent towards your master."

"You were my disciple, personally raised by me; I know your character all too well, therefore——"

"I am willing to believe these words."

Bai Feng coldly said, "But! You must state that evildoer's name!"

He, understanding the game's plot deeply, naturally knew the causes and effects of this poisoning incident.

The reason he asked was merely to restore his character setting.

"Master, I...."

Upon hearing, Cen Xing'er lowered her head, her face tangled.

「Given Master's character...as expected, he won't spare anyone who dares to harm him in any way.」

「But...Second Senior Sister has deep feelings for me, so I must not betray her...」

「Then I can only....」

In her mixed emotions, the girl bit her lip and made a decision, "Reporting to Master! It was Xiao Chen of Yin Gui Palace who did it!"

"It was that villain! He has always been sowing discord between me and Master! Not only that.....he often uses sweet-talks to confuse Second Senior Sister, trying to make her hold a grudge against Master!"

"But....."

"Today's incident, however, has nothing to do with Second Senior Sister! It was all because Xing'er was foolish and was deceived by Xiao Chen! I beg Master to impose the most severe punishment on Xing'er, as long as.....I am not expelled from the mountain!"

The girl spoke in fear and anxiety, kneeling down once more.

After a long silence.

A cold voice drifted down from above:

"Listen, Xing'er, I can give you one chance."

"But you need to help me accomplish one thing, to atone for your sins——"

"Yes! Please command, Master!"

Without a hint of hesitation, the third personal disciple of Youluo Palace responded.

....

....

Youluo Palace doorstep.

"Master, do not blame me.... "

"In previous years, when you joined the ranks of the Evil Pharmacist, perceiving his ill intentions towards you, you took the initiative and killed him."

"And now, Ling Yin is merely retracing your path back then."

"If you do not die, the three of us sisters will live forever under your shadow, never gaining liberation..."

Dantai Lingyin looked toward the direction of the Blood Kitchen Cave Mansion, her beautiful eyes heavy.

"Xing'er Junior Sister has come out!"

Beside her, Xiao Chen said excitedly.

Dantai Lingyin glanced sideways, seeing a young girl in a light pink dress walking over.

The two exchanged a glance and hurried over together.

"Xing'er Junior Sister! It's good that you're alright! Senior Brother was just worried about you!"

Xiao Chen said with concern, immediately reaching out intending to grasp the girl's small hand, but instead——

This young junior sister from Youluo Palace quickly stepped back, seemingly deliberately keeping a distance from him!

Her gaze...

Was clearly filled with disgust!

"Xing'er, your.... "

"Your step back...is it serious?"

Xiao Chen's eye twitched, his hand awkwardly hanging in mid-air.

Logically, during his decade as an undercover in Cangming Sect, he openly and secretly helped these two beauties with countless things, gradually gaining their trust!

Even Cen Xing'er, who was most deeply brainwashed by Bai Qingling, began standing on his side, willingly calling him Senior Brother Xiao!

But now.

He merely tried to hold her hand...

How could she resist so?

Xiao Chen grew increasingly annoyed and was about to ask questions.

He saw Dantai Lingyin pulling Cen Xing'er aside, speaking gently:

"Junior Sister, tell Senior Sister, did you....achieve it? Why didn't you send the message as planned?"

"Replying to Senior Sister, Xing'er..."

Cen Xing'er lowered her head, gritting her teeth, "Succeeded."

"Succeeded!?"

Beside them, Xiao Chen widened his eyes, the resentment on his face gradually turning into ecstasy!

"Xing'er Junior Sister! You really succeeded!? Did Bai Qingling truly take that poison pill unsuspectingly?"

Xiao Chen was both surprised and delighted, feeling as if in a dream.

He remembered going undercover at Cangming Demon Sect at the age of twelve on his master's orders.

Year after year! Three years and then another three!

For ten years!

He was walking on thin ice, daring not to slack off the slightest bit!

And now....he finally eliminated the famous Demon path power!

This also signifies that when he returns to the Righteous path in the Cultivation Realms, he is destined to be the chosen one, adored by thousands!

However, Cen Xing'er didn't even glance at him, directly speaking to Dantai Lingyin beside her: "As Senior Sister said, Bai Qingling is too arrogant, believing he has already controlled me, thus without any suspicion, he immediately took that Soul Devouring Powder."

"And afterward? How did he react after consuming it?"

Dantai Lingyin pursued further.

"It seems there was not much reaction.... "

Cen Xing'er shook her head, "He let me withdraw first, then went into the underground chamber himself."

"Tsk, no need to rush it though."

Seeing the two girls ignoring him, Xiao Chen didn't mind; he stretched lazily, speaking to himself: "That Soul Devouring Powder, I secretly purchased from Wu Yang City's black market at a high price, in seven days! Just wait seven days, once the poison of Soul Devouring Powder peaks, let alone Bai Qingling in his divine transformation stage, even a grand unification stage expert couldn't escape the fate of death and soul extinction!"

"Agreed."

Dantai Lingyin nodded and said: "If it's really as Brother Xiao says, we'll wait another seven days, only...."

"I have something that's been puzzling me, I'd like Brother Xiao to clear up."

"Senior Sister, please speak frankly." Xiao Chen arched a brow.

"As far as I know, my master.....no, that demon head though committed countless evils and had enemies everywhere, but had no personal feud with you, Brother Xiao. So, why insist on collaborating with us? And actively provide such a shocking poison pellet?"

Dantai Lingyin directed a sharp glance at the young man.

Upon hearing these words, Cen Xing'er also felt a shock in her heart, suspiciously looking over.

"Well..."

Under the gazes of the two young women, Xiao Chen felt a stir in his heart, then he revealed a thoughtful expression: "Is that even a question?"

"I indeed have no grievance against Bai Qingling, but——"

He raised his head to the sky, trying hard to make his expression appear more sincere:

"That demon head long oppressed and bullied you all, thus is my Xiao Chen's great enemy! Every moment I wish to eliminate him, to save the two of you from fire and water! So, my mind, do the two of you still not understand——"

"Enough!"

Seemingly hearing the levity in his words, Dantai Lingyin's cheeks flushed and angrily interrupted, "Let's get back to the main topic!"

"If the rumors outside are true, and that demon head was really seriously injured by Mu Xinlan, now afflicted with Soul Devouring Powder's poison, in seven days, he's bound to die abruptly!"

"Thus, there is no need for us to take risks by breaking the restriction and entering the Blood Kitchen."

"Only when the time comes, let Xing'er enter the Blood Kitchen to inspect his corpse, and report to the Sect's ancestors, the twelve Supreme elders, and other three Hall Masters."

"This way, it also makes sense in terms of situation."

"Taking a step back, even if the ancestors suspect us, they would only turn a blind eye, after all, Bai Qingling made too many enemies in his life, no one would speak for him."

"Tsk, as expected of Senior Sister Dantai, truly excellent."

At this moment, Xiao Chen, overjoyed, gave a thumbs-up.

"Well then, time is getting late, I should return to practice sword with my Master."

"Senior Sister Dantai, Junior Sister Xing'er, we... shall meet again someday~"

With that, this Yin Gui Palace's senior disciple hummed a tune and left through the air.

On the cliff, only the two little beauties were left, looking at each other, their expressions filled with desolation.

"Xing'er, be honest with Senior Sister, in your heart... are you feeling very sad?"

Dantai Lingyin looked at her junior sister, softly asked.

"Senior Sister, have you ever thought..."

Cen Xing'er's eyes moistened, speaking softly: "The Master might not be as we imagined? He is just a bit harsh to us, but won't harm us...."

"No possibility."

Dantai Lingyin shook her head sadly, "You know, that demon head, after killing his master back then, to cover his tracks, cursed to death hundreds of fellow disciples?"

"I....I also heard of this, but..... wasn't it said, Master let a younger junior sister go at that time! This shows... the goodness still remains in his heart!"

"So what? Demon Path isn't an evil path! He murdered carelessly, without any bottom line, recognized by both Righteous and Demon paths as extremely evil, deserved to be punished by heavens!"

Dantai Lingyin said: "Hence, there's no need for you to feel any guilt, understand?"

"Mm, understood...."

Cen Xing'er's eyes were complex, but internally said, "Senior Sister, don't blame me, all of this is Master's orders..."

"Mm, you've worked hard today, go back and rest, don't overthink."

Dantai Lingyin's tone softened greatly: "After this demon head is gone, we can bring Senior Sister back, the three sisters reuniting soon!"

"Yes! Senior Sister!"

Cen Xing'er nodded again and asked: "And what about you, Senior Sister..."

"Lately, nothing's happening in the sect, I, as the left protector, while idly returning to Youluo Palace's path, roam around."

Dantai Lingyin turned back, gazing toward the direction of the Blood Kitchen, her expression forlorn.

When the junior sister left.

This second disciple of Youluo Palace, her tall figure subtly bent, sorrowfully bowing in the distant direction!

"Lingyin originally thought, I hated you to the core."

"Yet up to this moment, my heart still clings to memories of you..."

"From childhood to adulthood, so many events, how could they be forgotten? How can one fully forget?"

"Perhaps, as Senior Sister Feng said, even by eliminating your physical form, we three sisters would still live under your shadow for the rest of our lives, becoming your slaves, never gaining freedom...."

"Master....."

"Let Lingyin call you this one last time."

"Second disciple of Youluo Palace, Dantai Lingyin, respectfully seeing off my Master——Qingling Demon Sovereign!"
