22. Lingxue Jiang, don't let Master down (First Update)

On the millennium Cold Jade Bed.

Bai Feng sat cross-legged, deep in thought about the upcoming plan.

"Now that Xing'er has been enlightened by my great love, the first wave of the tribulation has been overcome."

"Although I couldn't kill that ant Xiao Chen early on, I managed to cripple one of his arms, forcibly altering the original storyline. This must have significantly diminished his protagonist's fortune."

"As for my junior sister Yuerong..."

Recalling the enchanting and voluptuous figure in red just now, Bai Feng felt a strange and subtle pain in his heart again!

He even experienced a sense of despair, "forever losing my love, everything in ruins"!

However, ironically enough.

When it comes to this junior sister, the bits and pieces of the past, he can't remember at all!

He only remembers that at the last moment of parting, this girl left a tear in his heart!

Then she tossed down that bouquet of "withered Udumbara Flowers"!

"As a person, Bail Qingling died on the night of the master-slaughtering."

"The one who survived is a cold and ruthless devil cultivator, willing to kill anything for immortality."

"How could such a person spare only the life of the little junior sister after slaughtering countless senior and junior brothers?"

"Therefore, there must have been a story between Hua Yuerong and me in our youth!"

"And I must have sealed this memory away by some means!"

"Because I wanted to be a person without weaknesses! And the little junior sister was my only emotional vulnerability!"

In an instant, stepping into Bail Qingling's perspective, Bai Feng easily saw through the cause and effect!

"Yes! Precisely because of our unforgettable past!"

"So, when she heard me call her junior sister just now, she couldn't help but shed tears on the spot, disregarding her identity as Hall Master!"

"So... where did I put this memory?"

Bai Feng fell into deep thought again.

Indeed, another plan had formed in his mind now.

He intended to replicate his method of enlightening Xing'er, achieving success once more!

To conquer this junior sister, who had already become the leader of the Yin Gui Palace, with the selfless great love of a senior brother!

"I understand now!"

Bai Feng's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration!

"In the game's backstory, upon learning that Mu Xinlan had been resurrected from the Ice Coffin, Bail Qingling, fearing being killed by this Dao Sect Mysterious Lady, catalyzed his 'heart,' 'liver,' 'spleen,' 'lungs,' and 'kidneys' with the power of the Five Elements, storing them in five 'Five Elements Spiritual Gathering Blessed Lands' within the sect!"

"So, he must have buried this memory within his heart, along with those organs!"

"I just need to retrieve the heart to find that memory!"

With this thought, Bai Feng's brow relaxed, feeling that the road ahead was bright.

In fact, his current plan was to retrieve his innate vital organs, replacing the present "Artificial Five Elements Organs"!

Only in this way...

Could he have an opportunity to restore the Demon Lord's peak physical form, defeating Mu Xinlan head-on, accomplishing what Bai Qingling in the game could not, and complete the final step in defying fate!

Bai Feng continued to recall:

"The heart infused with the 'Origin Spirit Fire' I hid in one of the three forbidden areas of the Cangming Sect's main altar, the 'Flame Demon Tower,' constantly absorbing the pure fire elemental force..."

"Entering the Flame Demon Tower, however, requires the secret key held by the Sect Master..."

"Damn it!"

Bai Feng suddenly remembered something, his face changed!

It turned out that in his early years, Bail Qingling was appreciated by Cangming Sect Master Ye Wudao and was recruited as the Hall Master of Youluo Palace.

The latter not only entrusted him with important tasks but also handed him the secret key to the sect's forbidden area.

Because of this, Bail Qingling was able to enter the Flame Demon Tower to nurture the heart.

However, five years ago, after Ye Wudao was defeated in a duel with the True Martial Sword Sect Master, the Blue Lotus Sword Immortal, he took his own life out of shame.

The sect cannot be leaderless for a day.

Especially in the treacherous Evil Sect.

To stabilize the situation, Ye Wudao's grandfather, Ye Taiyan, who had long been in seclusion and the former Sect Master, stepped forward to temporarily take over as Sect Master.

Contrary to the Righteous Path Sect's emphasis on "the capable shall hold the position,"

Most Evil Sects operate under a "family dynasty" model.

Since Ye Taiyan was not only the former Sect Master but also the strongest foundation of today's Cangming Sect,

Therefore, in the five years since he regained power, the sect was harmonious, and no one dared defy him.

And the greatest impact this had on Bail Qingling was—

Ye Taiyan made him hand over the secret key to the "Flame Demon Tower" entrance!

"In the second year after Bai Qingling was forced to turn over the secret key, the higher-ups of the sect gradually realized that Ye Taiyan's vitality was declining, and his end was approaching."

"Within the sect, undercurrents surged, and everyone was considering change."

"The several Hall Masters, along with the ten Chiefs of Black Moon Hall and seventy-two Academy Deans under them, began forming alliances, seeking great benefits at the new Sect Master's election conference."

"But Bai Qingling's thoughts were different."

"He had no interest in the position of Sect Master; his plan was..."

"To support Ye Taiyan's granddaughter, the only daughter of former Sect Master Ye Wudao and Head of Black Moon Hall, Ye Hongyi, as a puppet, to retrieve the secret key and control the sect's resource allocation!"

"It's a pity that he couldn't survive until the old patriarch's death; he was killed by his young disciple due to plot reasons, how tragic."

Bai Feng shook his head.

But, upon recalling this.

He had basically thought of the next course of action.

In fact, he had optimized Bai Qingling's plan in the game significantly!

That is—

To control Ye Hongyi through PUA of the second disciple, Tantai Lingyin!

Achieving the double achievement... ah, the dual strategy!

Of course, all of this is on the condition that...

His number one disciple, Feng Lingxue, can successfully retrieve the sect's "Supreme Secret Artifact."

"Dear, cold but soft-hearted Lingxue, please don't disappoint Master~"

Bai Feng murmured to himself.

At the same time.

An image automatically floated into his mind of a black-clothed, sleek, tight-fitting outfit-wearing, long-legged, high-ponytail, cold and elegant mature beauty...

At that moment, he could clearly perceive.

It stirred.

"No way, can my disciple also stand out!?"

"Bail Qingling, you're really something!"

After condemning that nonexistent villain for a while, Bai Feng remembered another thing that brought him joy.

Right!

Ten thousand points!

Wouldn't that mean it's time for a Platinum Treasure Box draw?

"Let's draw that box while Xing'er hasn't brought Lingyin over yet!"

With a thought, Bai Feng commanded:

"Open the lottery interface!"

"Open the Platinum Treasure Box!"

Ding!

"Opening the treasure box for you, please wait——"

"(This draw consumed points: 10,000, Current remaining: 0)"

Ding!

"Opening successful!"

As an electronic prompt sounded.

A golden light screen flashed in Bai Feng's mind.

He was dumbfounded again.

He had overestimated the system's limits.
