Chapter 314

Bai Yu was trampled until he coughed up blood, and his lips trembled as he managed to utter a hoarse voice: "It's you again!"

This time, his tone was much more excited than when they met last time.

He withdrew his hand from the Demon-Slaying Flower, and with a surge of spiritual power, he swung it toward the feet.

"Overestimating yourself." The man in black chuckled.

The longsword flipped.

The spirit sword pierced right through his hand that was trying to touch it!

The sword tip was stuck in the ground, and Bai Yu's hand was pinned down!

"Ugh—" Bai Yu's face was deathly pale. He endured the intense pain and looked up at the man in black robes.

He couldn't see the eyes behind the black-robed man's mask clearly, but he could clearly see the mockery in his eyes.

Just when he thought the man in black robes was going to kill him completely today, the man in black robes acted as if nothing had happened, gave him a cold glance, and left.

He trembled as he withdrew his hand, wiped away the tears that fell from his eyes due to the pain, tore his robe, and used the cloth to bind his hand.

He will never give in.

Since "she" harbored the intention to torment him, she would certainly not let him die easily.

Sooner or later, he will make "her" know the consequences of not eradicating the problem completely.

Bai Yu took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and continued to retrieve the Demon-Slaying Flower.

But every time they were about to touch him, the man in black would reappear, and another wound would appear on his body.

Just like that day, exactly the same.

Last time, it was the Celestial Venerable who saved him. What about this time? Will she appear again?

The soil beneath Bai Yu was stained red with blood. He struggled to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt incredibly heavy.

The man in black robes vanished again. Seeing that Bai Yu was doomed, the demonic soul in his sea of ​​consciousness used its magic to warn him: "Useless! He's gone!"

Bai Yu felt a surge of resentment at being scolded. He slowly opened his eyes and used all his strength to reach for the Demon Flower.

He's not useless! He hasn't killed "her" and the demon soul yet, he can't die!

Everyone in the Bai family says he's a person of great fortune, how could he possibly be a good-for-nothing!

With an unknown source of power, his gaze gradually hardened, and he seemed to be vaguely about to break through his cultivation level.

Ling Wu, who was in the void, raised her eyebrows slightly.

He is indeed a person of great fortune; whenever he faces a life-threatening crisis, he always finds a way out, and the things he needs are even delivered to him on their own.

Opportunity, beauty, treasure.

Fortuitous encounters and treasures are no problem, but a beautiful woman...

Ling Wu felt a headache coming on when she thought about this.

Many beauties followed Bai Yu, but he did not bring them with him, so she overlooked this fact.

The reason those beauties were able to follow him was that Bai Yu had appeared in this place to seize a certain treasure, and he had rescued them from the perilous situation.

The beauties followed him to repay his life-saving grace, and were gradually won over by his aloofness and strength.

But if Bai Yu himself is in grave danger, how can those beauties possibly survive? Are they destined to perish because of this?

Moreover, for some reason, all those beauties came from prestigious families, and some were even saints from the upper realm. If she were to perish, it would be a devastating disaster for the entire lower realm.

Ling Wu pinched the bridge of her nose.

Very well, then she'll just have to devote a little more attention to it then.

Ling Wu thought to herself, while checking on Bai Yu's progress. She saw that he had already grasped the Demon-Slaying Flower and was about to safely return to the cliff when she reappeared.

Upon seeing this, Bai Yu immediately stuffed the Demon-Slaying Flower into his mouth.

The roots of the Demon-Slaying Flower were still covered in dust, but he didn't mind and swallowed it without even chewing it a few times.

"Ugh...cough cough cough."

As soon as the Demon-Slaying Flower entered his stomach, Bai Yu felt a sharp pain in his dantian. An extremely rich medicinal fragrance wafted from his stomach, and his Adam's apple bobbed, leaving a sweet and metallic taste in his throat.

But he forced himself to remain calm and looked directly at Ling Wu.

As he was writhing in pain, Lingwu said with great regret, "It's such a pity that you've wasted the Demon-Slaying Flower like this."

Seeing "her" like this, Bai Yu still didn't let his guard down, and sure enough, "she" said again:

"I hate people who waste things the most."

Her voice sounded ordinary, but Bai Yu suddenly felt a chill rise from his heart, making him tremble all over.

"what you up to?"

As soon as Bai Yu finished speaking, a cold wind swept by.

He felt a chill run through his body and was unable to move for a moment. He stood there stiffly until a burst of spiritual energy pushed him off the cliff.

The moment the feeling of weightlessness washed over him, Bai Yu looked up at the black-robed figure standing on the cliff. Her robes fluttered in the wind, and her voice carried a hint of mockery:

"Just a small lesson."

"Little brat, we'll meet again someday."

After saying that, she seemed to give herself a smile before disappearing from the spot.

Bai Yu managed a forced smile.

"A small lesson?"

He will soon be smashed to pieces, his internal organs destroyed. This is a small lesson.

Furthermore, why was "she" so certain that they would meet again someday?

Could it be...?

The wind whistled past his ears; he was about to fall to the bottom of the cliff.

"Fool! Circulate your demonic energy throughout your body!" the demonic soul cursed.

Bai Yu's mind kept replaying his promise to the Immortal Venerable and her trust in him.

He couldn't let her down!

His spiritual energy seemed to be drained away, slowly dissipating, but he did not stop it. Instead, he gave up resisting and let it leave him and envelop him.

A loud bang echoed at the bottom of the cliff.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally opened his eyes.

A woman in an ice-blue dress was bending down to reach out her hand, but when she saw him open his eyes, she withdrew her fingertips.

A blue mark on the woman's forehead added a touch of icy coldness to her aloof appearance, making people hesitate to look directly at her.

But when I look into her eyes, I always feel a touch of tenderness for some reason.

Bai Yu saw his own reflection in her eyes.

His once exquisite and beloved appearance has been ruined; several scars run across his entire cheek, making his face almost unrecognizable.

The way everyone looked at him along the way flashed before his eyes again.

He hurriedly looked away, not wanting to see those looks in the Immortal Venerable's eyes.

But the woman seemed not to notice.

"Why are you here?" Ling Wu asked, feigning ignorance.

Qianqian's gaze fell on Bai Yu, making Bai Yu feel utterly ashamed.

He's too ugly; the immortals won't like him.

He opened his mouth, but could only utter a strained sound, "I..."

Seeing this, Lingwu offered him an excuse, "Did that man in black bring you here?"

"Reporting to the Immortal Venerable... Yes." He hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing.

Ling Wu took out the pills. "Can I take them myself?"

Bai Yu tried to raise his hand but couldn't. Under Ling Wu's gaze, a blush inexplicably crept onto his pale cheeks. "It seems a bit difficult."

After saying that, Ling Wu picked up the pill and put it into his mouth.

Even though the woman's fingertips did not touch him, Bai Yu still felt a sense of helplessness.

After swallowing the pill, the excruciating pain from the piercing wound in his palm slowly disappeared, and the pain from falling off the cliff also vanished.

The medicine is surprisingly effective.

"Your pills must be very expensive, right?" he asked.

Lingwu shook her head.

The elixir was left to her by her master before his ascension. She had never paid attention to these things, so it was normal that she didn't know about it.

But Bai Yu thought that she said that because she didn't want to feel burdened.

He calculated in his mind how many spirit stones all these bottles and jars of pills would cost.

Astronomical figures flashed before his eyes, yet he still made a promise: "Immortal Venerable, I will repay you in the future."

Ling Wu remained noncommittal. "My peak is short of a spirit servant. Would you be willing?"

Bai Yu felt a surge of joy in his heart and knelt down without hesitation, saying, "This disciple is willing!"

He possesses five spiritual roots, and this is already the best place for him right now, so how could he bear to refuse?

Ling Wu stood with her hands behind her back, accepting his bow.

If we keep him in the outer sect any longer, he might start causing trouble for the outer sect disciples. Moreover, his newly recruited followers also want to go to Half Moon Peak with him, so it would be inconvenient for Bai Yu to stay in the outer sect any longer.

The spirit sword in Ling Wu's hand landed and slowly grew larger. She stepped onto the sword and stretched out her fingertips towards Bai Yu.

Bai Yu suppressed his joy and placed his hand on Bai Yu's.

It was cool to the touch, just like the pills she gave herself.

"Immortal Venerable, shall we return to Half-Moon Peak?"

Standing in front, Ling Wu's lips curled up almost imperceptibly. "Go to the disciple-acceptance ceremony."

"A disciple-acceptance ceremony?" Bai Yu repeated, "Immortal Venerable, are you going to accept disciples?"

He was filled with confusion and disbelief.

He always felt that this shouldn't be the case; at the very least, she shouldn't be taking other people as disciples.

But the woman answered affirmatively, "Yes."
