Chapter 198: The Fox Spirit (11)

"Indeed, this is a fragment of a semi-divine artifact. But even if you know this, so what? You, the dignified Sect Master Gu, cannot save everyone. Even if you can save the people of Yanluo Town, you cannot save the people of other places. You have lost this round."

Wen Wan: "Gu Xuefeng beat him up, he's a talkative villain."

Gu Xuefeng: "..."

Gu Xuefeng touched the fox's eyes and said, "Close your eyes."

Wen Wan didn't close her eyes. It was the first time she had seen such a scene. Although she was a little scared, she thought that Gu Xuefeng was the male lead and the number one person in the cultivation world. Surely he couldn't even protect her pet?

The next second, Gu Xuefeng had a sword in his hand, and just looking at it made Wen Wan feel an immense sense of pressure.

[The male protagonist's Purple Snow Sword is a semi-divine weapon. It was this Purple Snow Sword that drove the demon and monster realms back to their homeland and saved the world.] The system began to praise it wildly. Wen Wan also thought the sword was too beautiful. The long and smooth blade and the purple crystal-like texture of the hilt were very beautiful. It was also emitting a faint purple light.

The opponent clearly didn't expect Gu Xuefeng to unleash such a sudden attack, so he couldn't resist even one strike. The black mist was directly cleaved open, and the villain was spitting blood and collapsing to the ground after being struck by the sword.

Wen Wan: "Wow." Villains really do die from talking too much; this is yet another piece of evidence.

The demon was pitch black and extremely ugly, with strange and disgusting horns on its head. The demon seemed genuinely afraid. "Gu Xuefeng, if you kill me, all the disciples of the Snow Sect will surely die."

"He threatened the male lead before he died. Was he afraid he wouldn't die fast enough? Why doesn't this villain learn from me? Since we're all cannon fodder, why doesn't he stick to the male lead's coattails? Even if he can't, he shouldn't provoke him."

System: [...] The host really does have his own set of survival rules, but this host is completely different from the demons. After all, the host's survival rule every time is: to conquer the male lead.

Gu Xuefeng reached out and grabbed, causing the demon to roar in pain. Gu Xuefeng had actually used a soul-searching technique on him.

After learning what he wanted to know, Gu Xuefeng killed the demon with a single sword strike, obliterating him completely without leaving a trace. Then, carrying the fox Wen Wan, he walked to a street and smashed a strangely shaped building. The black mist that had been hanging in the sky quickly dissipated, and the next second, Lin Qingshui and his group appeared before him, all of them unconscious, seemingly in bad shape.

"Is the female lead alright?" Wen Wan jumped to Lin Qingshui's side, but was pulled back by Gu Xuefeng the next second. "Someone will come to their rescue later. They only had some of their cultivation absorbed, so their lives are not in danger."

Then he took Wen Wan and left.

Wen Yan: "..."

Out of the corner of her eye, Wen Wan saw that the female lead was still lying in Shen Qianyuan's arms. It was obvious that when she was awake, their relationship was developing quite well. Wasn't this a sign that the second male lead was going to take her place? How come the male lead didn't even react?

"Gu Xuefeng, that's your wife. You just let her lie in Shen Qianyuan's arms? Aren't you jealous at all?"

Gu Xuefeng glanced over out of the corner of her eye, then covered the fox's eyes, "There are other places we need to go."

Wen Yan: "..."

They then quickly went to several other locations and rescued all the Snow Sect disciples.

These places had all become ruins, and all the original inhabitants had been killed. In their place, another identical world was created to confuse cultivators, trap them, and absorb their cultivation until they died.

What enabled all of this was a fragment of the semi-divine artifact, the Nightmare Mirror. No wonder many sects and cultivators had difficulty detecting the demonic aura for a time. If it weren't for the recent revelation of the demonic disturbances, which brought these matters to light, it's hard to say when they would have been discovered.

The mastermind behind all of this was Qi Ling, one of the Demon Lords of the Demon Realm. Gu Xuefeng stormed into his lair, severely injuring him and forcing him to flee in disarray, leaving his lair in ruins. It was incredibly brutal and shocked everyone. Although Gu Xuefeng of the Snow Sect rarely appeared after the Three Realms War, having been in seclusion within the Snow Sect, he was still extremely protective of his own. Of all people to mess with, Qi Ling had to target the Snow Sect's direct disciples, each of whom was an exceptionally talented cultivator. Wasn't this just retribution?

Even if Gu Xuefeng doesn't go all out to kill them, the other demon lords probably won't let this opportunity pass, and Qi Ling is doomed.

After resolving everything, Gu Xuefeng prepared to return to the Snow Sect.

Wen Wan... doesn't want to go back.

He grabbed Gu Xuefeng's sleeve and dragged her to a restaurant. "Are you hungry? Let's eat first. Don't rush back, okay?"

Wen Wan wished she could speak human language, so she could only earnestly try to convey her meaning to Gu Xuefeng through her eyes.

Fortunately, Gu Xuefeng eventually understood her meaning, letting her have a big meal and then shopping and playing for several days. Wen Wan bought a lot of things and piled them in her storage bell before happily following Gu Xuefeng back to Xuezong.

She's no longer afraid of the male lead. He's a good person, just like the female lead. As long as she doesn't do anything reckless, her future is bright.

...

Upon returning to the Snow Sect, Wen Wan learned from her disciples that all the disciples who had gone out for training had returned and were receiving treatment at Elder Yao's place on Medicine Mountain; none of them were in mortal danger.

"The sect leader is simply too strong. With a single sword strike, he severely injured the Demon Lord and forced him to retreat. That sword strike was so powerful that it could change the very color of the sky and split the heavens in two. The demons dared not get close at all; anyone who did would die."

The disciple spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he had witnessed the scene firsthand. He even produced a pile of scripts, which Wen Wan found to be entirely about Gu Xuefeng, and all of them were the latest versions.

Wen Wan munched on a spirit stone, her eyes darting around as she watched the disciple tell stories.

The other disciples listened while plucking Wen Wan's fur and feeding her.

"Little Bai, didn't you go with the sect leader? Is the sect leader very powerful?"

Wen Wan nodded. "It's incredibly powerful, but splitting the sky in two is still a bit of an exaggeration."

What the disciples heard was: squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak.

The disciples said, "Xiao Bai also thinks the sect leader is amazing. We really envy Xiao Bai. You are so lucky to be able to follow the sect leader around at any time."

Wen Yan: "..."

After fleecing these disciples, Wen Wan took her spoils to Medicine Mountain.

Medicine Mountain is covered with spiritual plants and herbs. Unlike the disciples of other mountain sects, the disciples all carry small shovels and hoes, casually loosening the soil and removing weeds from time to time.

Upon seeing Wen Wan, everyone treated her extremely well and fed her a lot of delicious spiritual plants. After all, she was Gu Xuefeng's pet, and it could be said that she was someone who could do whatever she wanted in the entire Snow Sect.
