White Blade (II)

It was already late at night. Shi Yao sent away Sang Wenzhou, who was looking worried. "Father, I'm fine. I don't think Senior Sister Sang meant it on purpose."

Sang Wenzhou's expression was filled with coldness: "Since she is not dead, why doesn't she return to the Sword Sect? Now she is still hanging out with the Demon King, how dare she hurt you like this!"

Where he couldn't see, Shi Yao's face darkened.

Her hanging hands were clenched tightly, and her beautiful eyes were full of viciousness.

"Dad, please leave first. I want to rest."

She responded to Sang Wenzhou's care lazily, and immediately closed the door after seeing Sang Wenzhou off.

As soon as the door closed, the sound of porcelain bottles breaking was heard, and the table was in a mess.

A crane came out from the inner hall and saw her furious look. Its originally beautiful face was now filled with murderous intent.

The crane shook its feathers and transformed into a tall young man with gorgeous features and a green and red robe.

He waved his hand slowly and picked up the porcelain pieces on the ground.

"Tsk, why are you so angry?"

"Sande isn't dead, you know, she isn't dead!"

Bifang nodded and said nonchalantly, "I know that now."

Shi Yao couldn't understand why he was still so calm, so she raised her hand to let him look at the ribbon on her wrist: "Not only is she not dead, she also took away the Tianyu Stone, which contains pure Guixu spiritual power. She cannot access the Guixu spiritual power!"

Bifang said nothing and stood with his hands behind his back.

"If Sandy is exposed to the spiritual power of Guixu, she will sooner or later remember everything that happened back then."

Thinking of something, Shi Yao's pupils shrank slightly, "No, she must die. Only when she dies can you and I live."

Shi Yao suddenly raised her head: "Bifang, go kill her, you are an ancient beast!"

Bi Fang said calmly: "The Nine-tailed Fox Clan is also an ancient mythical beast."

Just one sentence to block her back.

Shi Yao suddenly realized that Sang Dai was not alone now, Su Xuan was by her side.

A nine-tailed fox with pure bloodline, and a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots, or even a demon cultivator at the Mahayana level.

As long as Su Xuan is there, Bifang will never be able to kill Sang Dai.

"...It's impossible. How could Sandy not be dead?"

Shi Yao couldn't understand.

"At this time, she should have died a long time ago, and Su Xuan didn't come out of seclusion so early, so why did something change?"

"What if she comes into contact with the spirit power of Guixu again and remembers everything... So why did she change?"

Shi Yao murmured in confusion, feeling panic-stricken.

After a long time, her mood calmed down a little, and Bifang, who had been silent all the time, finally spoke.

"Sang Dai and Su Xuan came here for the fairy wool grass and the heavenly spiritual root. These things cannot be given to them. Sandi must die. Miss, you know what to do."

Shi Yao calmed down and quietly tightened her hands on the table.

She is smart and although her mood swings are volatile, her brain is really useful.

"Of course, we are not the only ones in the Four Realms who want her dead." Shi Yao smiled, raised her hand and stroked Bifang's face, and said softly: "How many people in the Immortal Realm hope that Sandy will die. Those people have lived in misery these years, fearing that Sandy will remember something."

Bi Fang smiled and replied: "So Miss, you are the winner."

She didn't have to do anything.

With just a push, Sandy would become the target of public criticism and follow the same path as Ying Heng.

They were besieged and killed, and their reputations were ruined.

"My lady, just letting her remember a little bit will be enough to make her deserted by her friends and relatives."

"Bifang, come with me to see someone."

"That's natural."

***

The auction in Bairenli is held once every ten years. Fuyou loves money, and the auction in Bairenli is a way for him to make money. Anything can be bought and sold here, from immortal herbs and elixirs that have long been extinct to rare and precious magical instruments and talismans.

Three months before the Bai Ren Li auction began, sellers from all walks of life presented their treasures to Bai Ren Li, and Fu You personally examined them to determine their quality and then appraised their prices. Of course, this was the reserve price.

The buyer bids, and the one who pays the most wins the treasure. The spirit stones are divided in a 20:80 ratio. Even if Fu You takes 20%, the reserve price he sets is not something that ordinary people can afford. The final transaction price is often high, and he can also get a lot of spirit stones.

When Sang Dai changed her clothes and went out, Su Xuan was already waiting there.

He stepped forward to cover her eyes with a mask, hiding her original appearance.

No one knew how many people came to the auction. If Sandy were recognized by someone, she would be in great danger as she has no spiritual power now.

"Let's go."

"good."

Fu You lives in a mountain in Bai Ren. The City Lord's Mansion is just a decoration for him. In reality, Fu You seldom goes there.

His residence is vast, covering half of the mountain, so every White Blade auction starts there.

As soon as Su Xuan and Sang Dai arrived, they saw a red shadow coming towards them.

It’s Liu Lixue.

"My Lord, Miss Sang."

Liu Lixue gestured to the two of them.

Sandy nodded: "Mr. Liu."

Before leaving, Liu Lixue was sent by Su Xuan to deal with some matters in the demon world. She arrived one day later than them. Today, she came directly to the auction as soon as she arrived here, and they met here.

Liu Lixue followed Su Xuan and whispered, "Sang Wenzhou and his men are here too. I just saw him."

Having said this, he glanced at Sandy and lowered his voice, as if he was worried that she would overthink it.

Sang Dai's expression remained calm, as if she didn't know who Sang Wenzhou was.

Su Xuan skillfully pulled her wrist and walked inside, ignoring Liu Lixue.

Liu Lixue: “…”

Well, it seemed like neither of them cared much, so he was just worrying too much.

There were quite a few people who came to the auction in Bai Renli this time, including five people from the three sects and six schools in the fairy world.

Perhaps many people do not know Su Xuan, as he does not like to show up in public, but almost all the important people in the fairy world have seen Su Xuan.

There is no other reason, Su Xuan just likes to go to the fairyland.

A demon king who often appeared in the fairy world, especially the Sword Sect. He was also a powerful being with a heavenly spiritual root. It was hard not to know him.

Sandy saw many familiar people among them. As the former eldest daughter of the Sword Sect, she needed to be familiar with the elders of the Immortal Alliance.

Now that Su Xuan had blocked her face, these people did not recognize Sang Dai.

Su Xuan pulled Sang Dai to sit in a corner, and the person sitting diagonally opposite them happened to be an acquaintance.

Ji Cang, the Demon Lord, a cultivator who has reached the full state of incarnation, and a person with awakened heavenly spiritual roots.

Sandy had fought him many times.

There was a faint demonic aura lingering around Ji Cang. He had a tall stature and a face that was unrecognizable in a crowd as it was too ordinary. But Sandy knew that was not his real appearance.

Ji Cang has never revealed his true face in the Four Realms. He changes his face every time he sees Sang Dai, which is quite novel. However, the demonic aura around him can identify his identity.

As if he noticed Sandy's gaze, he looked at her with a smile.

Throw a wink.

Sandy's eyes went dark.

She looked away expressionlessly, picked up the tea and drank it all in one gulp.

pressure shock.

Su Xuan and Ji Cang looked at each other for a moment, with a clear warning in their eyes.

Ji Cang is a master of disguise. Even though his cultivation is not as high as Su Xuan's, he can still tell that the female cultivator beside him has changed her appearance.

As for the real person under that skin, it is self-evident who it is.

Ji Cang lazily leaned back in the soft chair, with his followers behind him pinching his shoulders from time to time. He looked like he was on vacation.

It wasn't until the hall was full of people that the owner of the auction finally arrived.

Fu You was easy to recognize. After all, he was a fierce ghost. His face was always as pale as snow, but he was also handsome, the kind of handsome that was a little bit pretty. He made the whole person... no, the whole ghost look a little feminine.

Even though he arrived late, he was still contented. Instead, he stood on a high place and happily looked at the crowds of people below.

"Wow, there are so many people coming to White Blade this time."

The Demon Lord is here, the Demon King is here, even...

Fu You looked at Sandy and glanced at her.

She is here too.

Sandy only felt a chill on her spine. The feeling was indescribable, as if she was entangled by a snake.

Su Xuan raised his eyes and glanced at Fu You, and the latter slowly retracted his gaze.

The news that fairy wool grass and heavenly-grade spiritual roots were being sold at this auction spread throughout the four realms, and many people knew about it. Therefore, more people came to Bai Renli's auction this time than at any other time in the past.

Fu You sat on the city lord's seat, crossed his legs, and occasionally looked at the armrest. As he knocked, the ghost fire rose and fell.

"I am deeply grateful for your support of Fuyou."

What followed were some polite words, which Fu You repeated every year without changing even the words, making people wonder if he wrote a script and memorized it just to be lazy and recite it every year.

Sandy drank several cups of tea, and Fu You finally finished talking.

He cleared his throat, and just when everyone thought he was going to get down to business, Fu You suddenly smiled.

"The auctions in the past were really boring, so I want to try something different this year."

Everyone was quick to sense that this was not going to be a good thing.

Sure enough, Fu You spoke up the next second: "Why don't we change the venue and auction method? It's so tacky to ask for money. We won't use spirit stones for this auction."

An auction that doesn't require spirit stones?

He said, "There is a place in my White Blade called Burning Heaven Realm. All the collections from this auction in White Blade have been placed in Burning Heaven Realm. How about we take them according to our abilities?"

When this was mentioned, everyone's face changed, and Sandy put down the tea in her hand.

Burning Heaven Realm, just looking at the name it doesn't sound like a good place, and it is indeed so in reality.

There are many ghost cultivators in the underworld, especially powerful ghosts.

Most of the extremely vicious and evil people, those with deep obsessions, and those with heavy sins cannot enter the reincarnation after death. They can only cultivate as ghosts, and are likely to become fierce ghosts.

Powerful ghosts are different from ordinary ghost cultivators. They often do not focus on cultivation, but instead pursue killing.

Regardless of whether they are humans, demons, monsters, or ghosts, they can all be killed. They are heartless and unrighteous, driven by murderous intent and will slaughter anyone they see.

There are too many powerful ghosts imprisoned in the Burning Heaven Realm, most of which were captured from the other three realms. As the powerful ghosts are difficult to kill, they need to be burned with karmic fire for 49 days, so they are handed over to Fu You, who is also a ghost lord.

Fu You was even lazier. He was too lazy to set up the Karma Fire Array to kill these fierce ghosts, so he threw all the captured fierce ghosts to the Burning Heaven Realm, where he had restrictions to suppress them.

Now he has placed all his collections in the Burning Heaven Realm, allowing people to go into this place full of powerful ghosts to look for them.

"Mad!"

Some people cursed angrily.

There was a chorus of cursing.

Liu Lixue sat on the other side of Sang Dai, muttering, "Is Fu You crazy? Is Burning Heaven Realm a place that can be entered casually? How dare he say that?"

Both Sang Dai and Liu Lixue knew that things were not that simple.

Fu You is playful, but also loves money. As a ghost cultivator who was able to kill the previous Lord of the Underworld, he would never be too playful on a whim.

If something happens to someone in the Burning Heaven Realm, the blame will inevitably be put on Fu You. How dare he do this?

Even if he had to give up the spiritual stones he got from the auction and endure the curses from the other three realms, he had to place the collection in the Burning Heaven Realm.

Explain that doing so is in his greater interest and that he has reasons to do so.

Fu You listened to them cursing with a smile, still looking relaxed.

Su Xuan sent a message to Sang Dai: "I will go to Burning Heaven Realm alone, you and Liu Lixue stay - No, you stay with me."

Su Xuan is in the Mahayana realm and has the ability to ensure that Sang Dai is not taken away by the fierce ghost.

But if he separated from Sang Dai and left Liu Lixue to take care of Sang Dai, Liu Lixue was only at the Yuanying realm. There were too many people who wanted to kill Sang Dai, and too many ghost cultivators who were concerned about her. Su Xuan was really worried.

Sandy whispered, "I'll go with you. I must enter the Burning Heaven Realm."

Su Xuan lowered his head and their eyes met.

Sang Dai smiled at him: "It's okay, Su Xuan, you have to trust me, I can protect myself too."

Su Xuan's Adam's apple rolled slightly, he turned his head and picked up the tea in front of him and drank it: "I don't care about you. You haven't done what you promised me, so you can't die now."

Sandy is now able to deal with it skillfully: "Okay, I understand."

The two of them got along too well. Su Xuan always had a cold face. Although he was dignified in front of Sang Dai, he was not as polite as he was in front of others. His eyes never left Sang Dai.

In the opposite corner sat the Sword Master.

Shen Ciyu picked up the tea and drank it silently. The tea was very bitter and he didn't know how long it had been there.

Sang Wenzhou saw the situation on the other side and sneered: "It's shameful to be hanging out with monsters."

Shi Yao knelt beside him obediently without saying a word. She looked a little weak. Sang Wenzhou thought she was still bothered by what happened last night.

He patted her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. She has betrayed the fairy world and has nothing to do with our Sword Sect from now on."

Shi Yao said nothing.

Shen Ciyu did speak up: "There was no such thing as defection. She just took the right path."

He looked in the direction of Sandy. She was talking to Su Xuan. Su Xuan couldn't suppress the smile on his face. He wanted to laugh but kept a straight face.

Sandy's eyes curved and she smiled happily.

Shen Ciyu had never seen Sandy smile before. She was strong and cold.

But in front of Su Xuan, she didn't seem like that.

The gorgeous clothes and jewelry were enough to show how good Su Xuan was to her. He took good care of her, more like a...

people.

A person with flesh and blood and emotions.

Shen Ci Yu withdrew his gaze and said nothing more.

In front of so many people, Sang Wenzhou couldn't accuse Shen Ciyu of being a traitor, and his face turned pale and black.

Shi Yao curled her lips and smiled sarcastically.

The matter was finally settled.

Fu You only said: "I did not force you to go. The legs are on you. The Ghost Market Auction was organized by me. Now I want to change the way of business operation. You can stay or leave as you like."

That was the Burning Heaven Realm, which was full of fierce ghosts, and many people left.

But there are still quite a few left.

Ordinary treasures are fine, but this time we have fairy wool grass and heavenly spiritual roots, how can we give up?

People's greed can overwhelm their fear of death.

***

The Burning Heaven Realm is located at the deepest part of the White Blade, and is surrounded by a swamp.

With the mountains behind, you can only see white mist from afar. Those are all miasma, and the poison will penetrate the meridians through the skin, so you can't stay here for long.

The surface of the water may seem calm, but underneath it there are undercurrents surging with poisonous snakes and bloodworms hiding. If you fall into it, you will be reduced to bones in an instant.

Su Xuan walked at the back with an expressionless face. When passing the wooden bridge over the swamp, he held Sandy's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that she would fall.

Outside the Burning Heaven Realm, Fu You moved a chair for himself and said while eating melon seeds: "If you are willing, you can enter the Burning Heaven Realm."

The Burning Heaven Realm really lived up to its name, the miasma on the outside was still white, but when it reached the gate of the Burning Heaven Realm, it suddenly turned into a thick black, the ghostly aura that was blowing in the nose was cold and unbearable, and the howling of evil spirits, one louder than the other, came one after another.

Someone asked: "Are all the collections from the White Blade really among them?"

Fu You nodded: "Of course, we hate fraud in business."

He stretched out his pale hand and pointed at the Burning Heaven Realm: "Everything is in there, including the Fairy Velvet Grass and Heaven-level Spiritual Roots you want."

He mentioned these two things so casually.

"The fairy velvet grass can fuse with spiritual roots. Whoever gets the fairy velvet grass and spiritual roots will be the next person to awaken the heavenly spiritual roots."

For those who have awakened their spiritual roots at the heavenly level, this temptation is too great.

Someone gritted his teeth and took the lead in entering the Burning Heaven Realm.

The sound of the ghosts wailing was so loud that it drowned out the discussion.

Su Xuan didn't move until many people entered.

She was helpless and tugged at his sleeve: "If you hesitate any longer, the fairy grass and the heavenly spiritual root might have been found."

This is so true. Judging from the appearance of the group of people outside, they look like they are looking for fairy wool grass.

Su Xuan said in a deep voice: "Hold my hand tightly and don't let go of it. There is a formation at the entrance of Burning Heaven Realm. We don't know where we will end up after entering. If we end up in a place where fierce ghosts gather, don't leave me."

Liu Lixue held his forehead with his hand, shook his head, and walked in first.

Su Xuan finally calmed down.

Sandy took the initiative to hold his hand. The swordsman's palm was slightly cool, which was too obvious compared to the hot body temperature of the nine-tailed fox.

Her hands were not as delicate as those of ordinary people. Sandy, who had been holding the sword for many years, had thin scars on her knuckles and fingertips.

"Come in, Su Xuan, I won't let you go."

"Um."

The two of them were the last to enter and had been lingering outside for about a quarter of an hour. When they passed Fu You, he had already cracked a small plate of melon seeds and looked extremely leisurely.

Fu You even greeted Su Xuan: "My Lord Demon King, have a safe trip and get the fairy silk grass as soon as possible."

Su Xuan ignored him and dragged her into the Burning Heaven Realm.

The Burning Heaven Realm was too cold. As soon as they entered, they were greeted by the eerie ghostly aura. The strong resentment of the fierce ghosts clung to them like a maggot on their heels.

All they saw was a thick darkness; they had already entered the formation at the entrance of the Burning Heaven Realm.

The two people's grip loosened, and it was Sandy who loosened her grip.

Su Xuan was so frightened that his heart stopped and he quickly turned around to grab her wrist.

"What's wrong? You can't let go."

A dull voice sounded: "I know, I just tripped."

After catching her again, Su Xuan felt relieved. He couldn't see her, but could only sense her presence: "Sang Dai, we have to go into battle."

The swordsman behind him responded in a deep voice: "Okay."

Su Xuan was still worried, so he hugged her in his arms, held her waist, and took her completely into the Burning Heaven Realm.

The black fog dissipated, leaving only darkness and ghostly green fires burning everywhere. There was no grass growing, and the whole place was desolate, as if it was a wild place.

The resentment is strong and the evil spirits are howling.

As soon as he landed, a red shadow rushed forward: "My Lord! Help! My God, what an ugly thing is this!"

Before Su Xuan could come to his senses, he saw Liu Lixue in red, looking particularly ferocious, with a hanged ghost chasing after him.

The hanged ghost stuck out his long tongue at an alarming speed, his pupils were red, and his sharp claws reached for Liu Lixue's back.

Liu Lixue's luck was not very good. As soon as he entered, he met a fierce ghost who was about to enter the realm of transformation.

But fortunately, he and Su Xuan came together.

Su Xuan's eyebrows twitched when he saw this, and he felt that the way he ran away wildly was too embarrassing for the demon world.

He let go of the swordsman in his arms, grabbed Liu Lixue and threw her behind him.

With his wide black robe fluttering, Su Xuan instantly teleported in front of the hanged ghost and grabbed his neck with his slender hands.

Snap——

He twisted the hanged man's neck in a circle, with his eyes facing backwards.

Liu Lixue touched his neck and hissed softly.

The powerful ghost is difficult to kill, but it is not impossible to kill.

Su Xuan grasped the fierce ghost by the back of the neck and pressed him into the ground, his face turned cold, his other hand raised, and the burning karma fire swirled in his palm.

Strong ghosts can only be burned by karmic fire, and usually karmic fire needs to burn for forty-nine days.

But the nine-tailed fox clan is different.

The nine-tailed fox clan is an ancient mythical beast that can summon karma fire. Su Xuan also has a heavenly grade fire spiritual root. The karma fire formed by his spiritual power is several times stronger than the karma fire condensed by Fu You's heavenly grade water spiritual root.

The fire of karma ignited, and the sharp and painful screams of the fierce ghosts tore the eardrums, making the fierce ghosts within dozens of miles feel terrified.

Su Xuan stood up, took out a brocade handkerchief to wipe his hands, and then threw the handkerchief into the karma fire.

Liu Lixue stared in amazement as the fierce ghost was set on fire by his own master...

In a flash, it was burned clean.

Frightened to death.

Su Xuan didn't even look at him, his eyes fell on Sang Dai who was beside Liu Lixue.

The swordsman had his back to him, and no one knew what he was doing.

Is it because you are scared?

Su Xuan frowned, waved his hand to blow away the ashes on the ground, trying to destroy the bodies and traces, and walked towards Sang Dai.

"Sande, I am not usually this fierce—"

He swallowed back the unfinished words.

Su Xuan's hands were shaking, his steps stopped abruptly, and his face turned pale in an instant.

Liu Lixue was at a loss: "My Lord, what's wrong with you?"

He looked at Sandi beside him, but from his angle he could only see Sandi's profile.

A strand of Sandy's hair fell down, covering her face.

But Liu Lixue could see it.

That face has no facial features.

It's a puppet.

Liu Lixue: "Miss Sang..."

Su Xuan's lips moved for a few moments, but he couldn't find his own voice.

Liu Lixue's body was also shaking.

Finished.

Something happened.

Something big happened.
