White Blade (XII)

A cold sword light came towards him, Shen Ciyu subconsciously recalled his sword and was about to meet it, but Sang Dai pushed him away.

The swordsman held the Qingwu Sword in one hand and swung it horizontally to block all the knife lights swung by the elder of the Immortal Alliance.

The sword light collided with the knife light, murderous intent spread, and the strong wind cut through the ends of Sandy's hair, and a strand of black hair fell quietly to the ground.

A Sword Sect elder also came on the mustard seed boat. He shouted, "Shen Ciyu, why don't you make a move!"

There were people from the Shen family on a dozen or so mustard seed boats. Many of them looked at their young master, signaling him with their eyes to act quickly, otherwise the Immortal Alliance would definitely use this matter to talk about it in the future.

Sang Dai did not move, standing on the top of the mountain with sword in one hand, with Shen Ci Yu standing diagonally behind her.

"Shen Ciyu!"

He slowly raised his eyes, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Sandy's calm profile, who showed no fear even when facing an encirclement and attack.

It was the first time that Shen Ciyu felt the sword in his hand was so hot.

He looked for a long time, and when the Sword Sect elder called him again, he closed his eyes and sighed.

Standing side by side with Sandy.

"This matter is doubtful, the Immortal Alliance's hunting order cannot be issued."

The elder's eyes widened, and the Shen family members on the mustard seed boat were panicked.

"Young Master! Are you confused?"

How dare he say such things with so many disciples present?

But Shen Ciyu was a stubborn person and said again: "I am not confused. There are too many doubts in this matter. Please ask the Immortal Alliance to reject the arrest warrant and review it again."

The Sword Sect elder's face was gloomy.

No, if they investigate again, the sacrifice will surely be discovered. Sandy must die here today!

He said in a low voice: "Don't listen to the nonsense, kill him first--"

Before he finished speaking, thunder sounded.

Thick clouds that were large enough to encompass the entire Burning Heaven Realm suddenly appeared, so fast that it only took a moment.

The powerful pressure caused many people to cough up blood.

Shen Ciyu was standing beside her and was the first to notice the pressure from Sang Dai.

"Thunder tribulation..." Shen Ciyu said sharply, "Sang Dai, are you going to survive the thunder tribulation of the Mahayana realm here?"

The disciples were horrified.

"This is a thunder tribulation, this is a thunder tribulation of Mahayana..."

"Sandy...Sandy is going to survive the catastrophe?"

"We can't let her survive the catastrophe, or we'll all—"

Boom!

The first thunderbolt shuttled through the clouds. The cold wind blew up her clothes and made Sandy's black hair messy.

The strong wind even caused the mustard seed boat in the air to shake, and many disciples almost fell off.

Sandy did not look up at the thunder in the clouds, but stared coldly at the disciples on the mustard seed boat.

Shen Ciyu thought she was crazy: "The Mahayana tribulation thunder is not something that ordinary people can survive. You don't have any magic tools or elixirs to save your life, how can you survive the Mahayana?"

Sang Dai pushed him away, grabbed his sleeve and threw him to the mustard seed boat: "Then don't bother with it. If you die here, the Shen family will find trouble with me."

Her movements were so fast that Shen Ci Yu didn't even have time to react before being pushed away from her by Sandy.

The disciples on the mustard seed boat quickly caught Shen Ci Yu.

Shen Ciyu realized something and jumped off the mustard seed boat regardless: "Sang Dai!!"

Sandy didn't even look at him, and her expression remained calm from beginning to end.

The elders of the Mustard Seed Boat roared: "Retreat to the entrance of the Burning Heaven Realm, not here, that is the Great Accomplishment Tribulation Thunder!!"

The pressure alone was enough to scare people, and many disciples could hardly bear it. The one with the highest cultivation level present was Shen Ci Yu, a cultivator at the Manhua Shen realm. Most of them were at the Jindan and Yuanying realms. Even if there were more people, it would be difficult for them to cope with the Mahayana thunder tribulation.

The mustard seed boat retreated quickly, and Sandy looked up into the void. The sky and the earth were dark, and the fierce ghosts within dozens of miles were struck to pieces by the pressure of the Mahayana's thunder.

In the dark sky, lightning flashed.

Thunder roared, but she stood still, and the strong wind did not shake her body at all. Even though the sword in her hand was not her own natal sword, even though she only had a long sword as a magic weapon, and even though she had no magical herbs or elixirs to protect her body, she stood under the great thunder of the great vehicle bestowed by the Heaven, and she still had no fear at all.

She saw Lingyin in the strong wind.

She was standing on a distant hilltop, her white clothes fluttering in the wind and her loose black hair covering her face.

She was very quiet and calm, as if she wanted to watch the battle to the end, to see if Sandy could withstand the Mahayana's thunder, and whether Sandy could fight against the entire fairy world alone.

Let’s see if Sandy is the turning point of destiny.

Sandy suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the thick clouds.

She is very friendly to thunder and is never afraid of it. After every thunder disaster, she feels much stronger.

The thunder from heaven used to be a gift from heaven to her, but now, this thunder brought endless murderous intent.

Sandy said: "From the beginning to the end, all I want is justice. If even the heavens can't give it to me, then I can only ask for it myself."

For one person to face the entire fairy world and the way of heaven is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.

But Sandy was never afraid of death.

The thunder became more violent.

The first bolt of lightning suddenly fell at this moment, striking Sandy hard.

The huge rocks were smashed into powder and the mountaintops were flattened.

In the distant Chishaquan, Xuandun lives.

Liu Lixue was puzzled: "My Lord, what's wrong?"

"…There was thunder."

"What?" Liu Lixue was surprised, "I didn't hear it."

Chishaquan was surrounded by this will-o'-the-wisp fire. In fact, it was not only a will-o'-the-wisp fire, but also a barrier set up by Lingyin himself, isolating it from everything outside.

This is not an ordinary ghost fire. Su Xuan’s karma fire alone cannot suppress it. They must find a way to break the formation before they can get out, otherwise it will be difficult for them to get out.

Liu Lixue frowned, thinking that Su Xuan was too anxious and was hallucinating, and then she saw the black shadow disappear in front of her.

The fox's howl was deafening.

And Su Xuan transformed into a nine-tailed fox... and rushed into the will-o'-the-wisp fire.

He wanted to use the real body of the ancient beast and his soul power to resist Ling Yin's will-o'-the-wisp fire, and break the formation by force without finding the center of the formation!

Liu Lixue's heartbeat stopped: "My Lord!"

And Sandy has already survived three thunder strikes.

Although Mahayana has only nine tribulation thunders, they come from the forty-nine-day mysterious thunder, which is different from the nine-day mysterious thunder that Sang Dai attracted.

The upper realm is divided into eighty-one heavens. The thunder tribulations before entering Mahayana are all the Nine-Day Mysterious Thunder. Once you enter Mahayana, it will be a qualitative leap.

The nine calamity thunders of Mahayana Buddhism are the forty-nine layers of mysterious thunder from the upper realm.

The seven thunders of tribulation that one must endure are the eighty-one layers of mysterious thunder from the upper realm.

That is a gift from Heaven itself.

And her thunder was going to kill her.

Sandy swallowed the blood in her throat, her spiritual power surged, and she mobilized the spiritual power around her body to flow backwards. Long rays protected her body, as if she was covered with a layer of silk.

"Why do you want to kill me? I have never done anything wrong. I am not wrong!"

Another bolt of lightning struck.

Another section of the mountaintop was cut off.

"I just want justice, I'm not wrong!"

The fifth thunderbolt struck.

"No matter how many times you hit me, I will still say the same thing: I am right!"

It seemed as if the heavens were venting their anger, with bolts of lightning coming down one after another, not giving Sandy any chance to breathe.

The mustard seed boat in the distance amazed everyone.

Normally when a cultivator goes through a thunder tribulation, the thunder will stop for a while before striking again. The thunder tribulation is never meant to kill the cultivator, but to help the cultivator refine his body.

But Sandy's Mahayana thunder tribulation is completely different.

The next strike came almost instantly, giving her no chance to relax, and completely shattered the spiritual power shield around her.

The mountaintops in the distance had long been covered with dust. Every time a bolt of lightning struck, there would be a sound of rubble collapsing, and the towering mountains would sink dozens of feet.

Every bolt of thunder carries the will of heaven.

——You deserve to die.

"I won't die."

——You must die.

"I will never die."

——I want you to die.

"Then I will kill you."

Sandy raised her hand to hold the sword, the back of her fair hand was covered with dark bloodstains, the pearl hairpin had long been broken, leaving only a hairband loosely binding her hair.

The Qingwu Sword hummed, and under the pressure of the Heavenly Dao, the murderous intent in his body was aroused.

The vast spiritual power surged, and Sandy stood up shakily.

Blood flowed down her jaw, her eyes were dark and deep as she looked at the sky that was brewing the last thunderbolt.

"I just want justice. If you don't give it to me, I will kill all the people in the 81st Heaven and ask for it from you in person!"

She pressed down her wrist, mobilizing all her spiritual power to move backwards. The sword light turned into a huge sword shadow, almost covering the sky and the sun. The cold sword intent made people's legs go weak.

"Qingwu, cut!"

Boom!

The last great Mahayana calamity thunder of the forty-ninth heaven pressed down, violent and murderous, as if it would smash her into pieces regardless of everything.

The thunder and the sword light collide!

The disciples on the mustard seed boat vomited blood at the same time, and the elders formed a formation with all their hearts, and managed to withstand the pressure of the last thunder of the Mahayana.

The towering mountain collapsed into the ground, the entire mountain was flattened, huge rocks were piled up, dust flew everywhere, and the remaining waves spread outward, blowing the mustard seed boat unstable.

Shen Ci Yu's legs were so weak that he could barely hold up his body. His heart was beating fast as he stared at the place that had collapsed into ruins.

"Sande...Sande..."

The pale lightning finally calmed down, and dark clouds hovered for a long time, with faint tears, as if confirming whether Sandy was dead.

Everyone looked towards the collapsed ruins.

I waited for a long time, almost a quarter of an hour, and there was no movement.

The disciples whispered:

"Is he...dead?"

"Is Sandy...dead?"

"Why is there no movement?"

The great calamity thunder had passed, and even if the thunderclouds were unwilling, they could only slowly dissipate. However, there was still no movement at the place where the collapsed mountain had collapsed, as if there were no living people there.

Shen Ci Yu panicked and turned over to look for Sang Dai without caring about anything else.

"Sandy, Sandy, you can't die..."

At this moment, the roar of the fox almost pierced the eardrums, the ground seemed to be shaking, a silver-white figure was running quickly, and Shen Ci Yu in the mustard seed boat met a pair of huge beast eyes of the color of glass.

They were clearly on the mustard seed boat, but the beast's eyes could look them in the eye.

That is...

A nine-tailed fox whose true form is as big as a mountain!

The bright sword light suddenly appeared, breaking through the hill that had already collapsed into ruins. The rubble was blown away by the pressure, and some of it hit the mustard seed boat, and the disciples who were hit fainted immediately.

The elders hurriedly formed a battle formation. Shen Ci Yu took a few steps forward and came to the side of the mustard seed boat, staring into the distance intently.

The blue shadow flew out, wrapped in dust. Her black hair was tied behind her with only a headband. Her fair face was covered with dust, and her eyes were clear and bright.

"Su Xuan!"

A familiar call.

The nine-tailed fox ran over as if it had been summoned, and the blue-clothed swordsman leapt onto the ancient beast.

She held the Qingwu Sword in one hand, the jet-black sword humming with murderous intent.

A long blade was wrapped around the other wrist, and that heavenly magic weapon was flying in the wind like the silk of a fairy from the Ninth Heaven.

The nine-tailed fox turned around, and its beastly eyes met the immortal sect disciples on the mustard seed boat. It was cold and murderous, and the karmic fire around it was strong and burning.

The swordsman standing on the fox had a cold look on his face. He slowly raised his sword and pointed it directly at the disciple on the mustard seed boat.

"If you want to kill me, then come and fight."

This was simply absurd. The disciples simply couldn't believe it. She clearly had nothing, so how could she have survived the Mahayana calamity?

The thunder clearly didn't want her to live, but she still survived?

God wanted her to die, but she didn't die?

"How is it possible... How is it possible..."

The Immortal Alliance elder said: "How dare you...traitor to the Immortal Realm, you are so arrogant!!"

The karmic fire around the nine-tailed fox suddenly intensified, and the rising heat wave almost overturned the mustard seed boat.

The swordsman raised his hand and touched the ear of a fox, and rubbed the tip of his ear with his small hand.

"Su Xuan, don't be angry. You are fierce when you are angry."

Su Xuan: “…”

He slowly retracted his fire, and his tail rubbed against Sandy's body, and Sandy stroked it.

The weather for a certain fox suddenly cleared up, and the karmic fire around it also became much milder.

The disciples on the mustard seed boat were dumbfounded, unable to believe that the traitor from the fairy world had such a close relationship with the demon king.

The elder trembled and said, "Su Xuan, do you know that this action is against the immortal world? Are you going to protect someone that the Immortal Alliance wants to kill?"

The nine-tailed fox looked at him coldly: "What if I insist on protecting you? Do you dare to go to war with the demon world?"

Do you dare?

Of course I wouldn’t dare.

The immortal world and the demon world have suffered heavy casualties in recent years of warfare, but the demon world has undergone major reorganization since Su Xuan ascended the throne, and Su Xuan is not warlike either. He has been guarding the demon world for these years and has never fought a war with the other three worlds, so his military force is strong.

The elder was so angry that he gasped: "You...you..."

A brave disciple trembled and said, "She... But Sang Dai is the accomplice of the destruction of the Guixu Spiritual Vein. She is the sinner of the four realms..."

Sandy just thought it was ridiculous.

These disciples are too young, and most of them have Xuan-level spiritual roots. It is not easy for them to cultivate to the Golden Core or Yuan Infant stage. If they were in the demon world, Su Xuan would definitely put effort into cultivating them. Although he has a bad temper, he cherishes talents.

Unfortunately, they followed a foolish leader, and although they were loyal to the fairyland and were willing to sacrifice their lives for it, they were used as a weapon.

Sandy said: "I have explained the facts. The Sword Sect unjustly killed its disciples and offered them as sacrifices to Guixu. This is true. If you still don't believe it——"

She touched Su Xuan's ears again, and the pointed tail of a certain fox curled up.

Sang Dai laughed and said, "Su Xuan, you were late last time. I had already killed the Sword Sect leader and several elders who knew about it. But today is different. Isn't there someone from the Sword Sect who knows about it?"

She looked at the elder of the Sword Sect Discipline Hall behind Shen Ciyu, "For example, this elder knows."

The elder who was being stared at felt a chill down his spine as he met Su Xuan's glass-blue eyes. He saw with his own eyes lotus petals blossoming in those beautiful beast eyes.

Golden light swirled, and the elder suddenly remembered.

The Nine-Tailed Fox Clan was born with the fire of karma, and their talent is——

Soul-catching.

Before Shen Ci Yu could make a move, the elder had already lost his mind.

The nine-tailed fox lowered his eyes and glared at him coldly, saying, "Tell me about the sacrifice at Guixu."

The disciples from the Immortal Realm held their breath and looked at the elder whose soul had been taken away.

The elder's eyes were empty, and his voice slowed down: "The Guixu sacrifice... was proposed by Sword Sect's leader Sang Wenzhou, and the eleven elders conspired with him."

After a moment of silence, there were exclamations one after another, and people couldn't believe their ears.

"What else?"

“Select those who have awakened their spiritual roots at the Xuan level and the Di level… extract their spiritual roots and offer them as a sacrifice to Guixu to awaken Guixu… Only in this way can the Guixu spiritual vein be saved…”

"Has Sandy been involved in this?"

“…No.”

"Did Sandy conspire with Ying Heng to destroy the Guixu Spiritual Vein?"

“…No.”

"Is Sandy right about all this?"

“…No.”

No.

That's right, the sword in Shen Ci Yu's hand fell to the ground with a bang.

He could no longer hold the sword steady.

He raised his eyes and looked at the sword cultivator on the nine-tailed fox. Her eyes were always clear and calm. No matter when she knew that she was convicted by the Immortal Alliance, no matter when she saw that the Immortal Alliance was coming to hunt her down, no matter when she heard the elder of the Sword Sect testify for her innocence in person, she seemed not to care.

When looking into her eyes, Shen Ciyu understood.

Because Sandy is right.

She did nothing wrong, so she didn't feel guilty, so she wasn't afraid.

The one who was wrong was the Immortal Alliance he trusted.

Then who is he protecting with the sword in his hand?

Shen Ciyu didn't understand.

Sandy turned away indifferently, stroked the nine-tailed fox's fur, and said, "Su Xuan, let's go."

The conspiracy is exposed, the Sword Sect is finished, and someone will take care of the rest.

Su Xuan responded, turned around and left with the sword cultivator.

Shen Ci Yu looked at the figure of the nine-tailed fox leaving in the distance. The swordsman was sitting on the nine-tailed fox. The flowing silver hair was surrounded by karmic fire, protecting the swordsman.

She is obviously from the fairy world, but it is the demon world that cherishes her the most, and it is also the demon world that has always firmly believed in her and stood by her.

The Mustard Seed Boat behind him was in chaos. The Sword Sect's disciples looked ashen, unable to believe that their own sect had become like this. Many of them knelt on the ground, holding their heads and crying in shame.

The other sects accused them crazily, cursing them harshly and asking them to sacrifice their disciples to the underworld. No sect could tolerate this.

Shen Ciyu just looked in the direction where Sang Dai left.

She left again without looking back, never to come back again.

The fairy world disappointed her too much.

And Jian Zong was also nailed to the pillar of shame.

The Immortal Alliance will not let the Sword Sect go.

***

On the top of the mountain, Ling Yin narrowed her eyes and looked at the thick clouds gradually gathering above her head.

"I've only been out for less than half an hour, and you've already noticed me? You really are... Didn't you just tell me a secret? Do you have to keep chasing me?"

She smiled, and I didn't know who she was talking to. She mumbled something that sounded a little angry.

Ling Yin sighed, and when the thunder was about to strike her, she decisively turned around and disappeared over the hilltop.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared among the will-o'-the-wisp fires.

The will-o'-the-wisp was burning particularly vigorously, and a red shadow was swaying in it: "My Lord, my Lord, please come back soon!!!"

The barrier left by Su Xuan was about to break. Liu Lixue patted the hem of her clothes that was burned by a streak of ghost fire, and her ghostly howling appearance made Ling Yin laugh.

She waved her hand to put away the will-o'-the-wisp.

Liu Lixue blew on her burned palms: "It hurts so much!"

Ling Yin said with a smile: "Master, I told you long ago that you might die if you come in, but you insisted on coming in."

Only then did Liu Lixue realize that Ling Yin had returned.

But she was the only one who came back.

His expression changed instantly, and he asked coldly, "Where are my master and Miss Sang?"

Ling Yin hummed, and said, "I don't know. They should be walking behind. I teleported here, but they didn't."

Liu Lixue frowned: "What exactly do you want to do?"

Lingyin tilted her head and said, "I want to help you."

"The way to help us is to keep taking Miss Sang away?"

Lingyin sighed: "Although the method is a bit barbaric, you see, the result is good."

There were footsteps in the distance, causing the entire ground to shake.

Lingyin sighed again: "Your Lord knows that he is big, can he transform into a human body when he comes in? My Chisha Spring is going to be destroyed."

Shadows were cast from above, and Liu Lixue saw a nine-tailed fox as big as a hill approaching, with a solemn golden pattern on its forehead and glass-colored eyes looking down at him from above.

Liu Lixue sobbed and choked: "My Lord!!!"

He ran over and hugged the nine-tailed fox's legs, but he couldn't even hug a single calf because the human body was too small in front of the nine-tailed fox.

Liu Lixue cried and said, "Do you know how I managed to get through just half an hour?"

Su Xuan frowned and lowered his voice: "Get out of my way."

Liu Lixue shook her head: "I don't, I don't, I don't!!!"

Sandy poked her head out from above and greeted Liu Lixue: "Mr. Liu."

Liu Lixue went to see her master's sweetheart with tears in her eyes.

After just one look, I decisively held back my tears, which turned into shock.

“You’ve reached Mahayana???”

Sandy smiled shyly: "That's right..."

Liu Lixue asked again: "Have you really reached Mahayana???"

"……right."

“…………”

Liu Lixue loosened Su Xuan's legs, and a certain fox shook its fur and shook away his tears with a look of disgust.

Liu Lixue was about to kneel down: "Who dares to say that the heaven doesn't favor you!!!"

He walked over and said, "You awakened your spiritual roots when you were three years old, but you were poisoned by the Sword Sect. Even my master couldn't cure the poison. Your cultivation should have remained at the full stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm and it would have been difficult to break through. But you entered the Burning Heaven Realm and you cured the poison?"

Liu Lixue came over again: "It would be fine if you just cured the poison, but you just cured the poison and dragged your weak body to pass the tribulation?"

He couldn't believe it: "It's only been half an hour. My master took three days to overcome the great thunder tribulation! How come you have overcome it in just half an hour!"

Why else? Because Heaven wanted to kill her, so she was not given any chance to relax. The lightning struck her one after another, quickly and accurately.

Liu Lixue's face turned pale: "You are the darlings of heaven, and I am just a handyman."

He covered his face and wept bitterly.

Ling Yin was laughing so hard that she covered her mouth and laughed non-stop, saying, "Master Liu is really funny."

Sandy climbed onto Su Xuan's head and rubbed his ears: "Put me down, Su Xuan."

A fox responded lazily, shrank, bent down, and put Sandy down.

She stood up straight, and Su Xuan turned into a fox as tall as a meter, with his furry head just next to Sandy's face.

She touched him again, gently stroking his fur. One of the foxes purred in comfort and rubbed Sandy's cheek with its pointed beak.

When the nine-tailed fox saw Liu Lixue's complicated expression, Lingyin's smiling eyes, and Sang Dai's gentle gaze, it froze from the tip of its tail to its head.

Sandy smiled and patted his head: "Let's touch it when we get back. Let's talk business first."

Su Xuan turned his head away and snorted coldly, "You are dreaming, I won't let you touch me."

Sandy shook her head, but the smile in her eyes grew deeper and deeper.

Only when he looked at Lingyin did the smile in his eyes gradually disappear.

She nodded to Lingyin: "Thank you, senior."

Lingyin smiled: "Thank me for what?"

"You helped me detoxify and allowed me to enter the Mahayana."

"You entered the Mahayana stage because you had to withstand the thunder tribulation on your own. If you couldn't withstand it, you would die. This has nothing to do with me."

"But I still want to thank you." Sandy insisted, "You helped me a lot."

Ling Yin trapped Su Xuan and Liu Lixue here in order to allow Sang Dai to make a desperate effort to overcome the calamity.

If Su Xuan was by her side, he would never allow Ling Yin to help her detoxify in such a brutal way, nor would he agree to let Sang Dai forcibly undergo the tribulation without any protection or preparation. Therefore, she simply trapped Su Xuan and Liu Lixue here, and killed them first and played later, forcing Sang Dai into a situation where she had no way out and could only go through the tribulation.

And she did it.

Su Xuan and Liu Lixue also figured it out after learning that Sang Dai had entered the Mahayana stage.

Lingyin looked at Sandy with admiration in her eyes: "I also have my own selfish motives. I wanted to see if you are really different. In fact, you are just as I expected. You can survive in that situation."

"Sandy, you may really be the turning point of this destiny. You are the last hope of the four worlds."

Sandy didn't respond. The responsibility was too great for her to bear.

Lingyin turned her hand and a wooden box appeared in her palm.

Sandy felt a familiar breath.

That is a heavenly grade wood spiritual root.

"Master..."

Ling Yin threw it over, and her movements were so casual that it seemed as if what was inside was not a heavenly grade spiritual root, but an ordinary small object.

Sandy hurriedly caught it.

"This item was thrown into the Burning Heaven Realm by Fu You, and I went to retrieve it. I knew you would come, and I have been waiting for you."

Ling Yin's face lost its smile, and she was calm. "Sang Dai, your master's spiritual root was cut into several pieces, and the person behind the scenes only gave one piece to Fu You and Ji Cang. As for what he wanted to do, I don't know."

She looked up at the empty Chishaquan. There were too many fierce ghosts here, and only the howling of fierce ghosts had accompanied her through all these years.

A fierce ghost emerged from the woods and wanted to bite Sang Dai, but was suppressed by Ling Yin's ghost energy. The pressure from the ghost cultivator in the Tribulation Realm was too strong.

She said bitterly, "I've been here for six thousand years, and I know nothing."

Sandy tightly grasped the wooden box in her hand: "Senior..."

Lingyin turned around and slowly walked away.

"Miss Sang, God won't let me go. I can't leave here, but maybe I can wait until you come pick me up."

It was a puzzling sentence, but Sandy heard something else.

"Senior, if I find out everything, can you come out? Fu You...he really wants you to come out..."

Lingyin didn't look back and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

When the last white shadow was swallowed by the ghost energy, her voice finally rang out.

"I'll wait for you to pick me up."

Sandy shouted, "Senior, wait for me!"

But this time Lingyin didn't respond.

Sandy was silent for a moment, then shifted his gaze to the wooden box in his hand.

Even though there was a layer of artifacts between them, the gentle and mellow aura of the wood spiritual root was particularly clear. She and Ying Heng had been master and apprentice for seven years, so how could she not realize that this was Ying Heng's aura?

Sandy's hands were shaking. She put them on the knob but didn't dare to open it.

The fox next to her had transformed into a human being at some point. He placed his slender hand on the back of her hand and, with some force, pulled her together to unfasten the secret button.

The wooden box was slowly opened.

Even Liu Lixue came forward.

It was a very plain box. The person who placed the spiritual root didn't seem to care at all that it was a heavenly grade spiritual root. He used a box that Sandy felt was even a little rough to hold it.

The bone was crystal clear, only the size of a little finger, but it radiated a bright light all over.

"It's just a small section..." Liu Lixue murmured, "Ying Heng's spiritual root was divided into... three sections?"

It looks like it should be divided into three sections, and the spiritual roots are not long in total.

Sandy was completely speechless.

She looked at the spiritual roots in the box, her mind full of Ying Heng's face.

That gentle and handsome face was always smiling when he taught her sword practice. If he caught her slacking off, he would just poke her on the head, helping her to avoid Sang Wenzhou and Mrs. Shi's daily homework checks.

His spiritual roots were taken away, so what about his body?

The hand on the back of her hand tightened around hers, and Sandy came back to her senses.

Su Xuan looked at her solemnly: "Sang Dai, we will find him. We will find him as long as he is not dead."

Liu Lixue also comforted her: "Yes, Miss Sang, he is not dead, and his spiritual roots are still active. After finding all the spiritual roots, you can ask Senior Lingyin to help merge the spiritual roots for Immortal Lord Yingheng, and everything will be fine."

Sandy took a deep breath, suppressed the sourness in her nose, and smiled: "Yeah, okay."

Ying Heng was not dead yet, which was a great surprise to her.

Sandy put away the wooden box and carefully placed it in her Qiankun bag.

"Let's go back to the demon world. It's time to go home."

"Okay, let's go home."

The three disappeared in the Burning Heaven Realm, and the only sounds left here were the howling of fierce ghosts.

Two dark figures appeared in the Burning Heaven Realm. They were both ghost cultivators. The powerful ghosts had no interest in him and ignored him.

"City Lord, I have seen Miss Lingyin. It is time to go back."

Fu You stood with his hands behind his back, looking in the direction where Ling Yin disappeared. There was only a deep ghostly aura there.

But she lives here.

He watched for a long time, and his subordinates beside him did not dare to say anything and could only accompany him quietly.

It was not until a long time later that Fu You spoke in a low voice.

"I thought she didn't want to go out..."

The subordinates naturally heard what was said just now, and also saw when Ling Yin was almost struck by lightning on the top of the mountain.

In fact, they all understood that it was not that Lingyin was unwilling to go out, but that someone was threatening her.

Fu You raised his chin and looked at the dim sky with a cold and indifferent expression. The ghost aura on his body became deeper and deeper, and the murderous intent of the ghost cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Realm was stern and cold.

The subordinates standing by sighed inwardly.

It seems that three of these seven Heaven-level spiritual root awakeners have already betrayed Heaven.

Sang Dai, Su Xuan, Fu You.

***

It had only been half a month since she left the demon world, but Sandy felt as if half a year had passed.

After seeing the demon world again, I actually felt a sense of familiarity.

The first thing she did when she came back was to take a refreshing bath. Cuishao helped her apply some medicine. In fact, her injuries were not serious, they were all necessary hurdles to overcome in order to survive the tribulation. However, a certain fox was very worried.

Sandy slept for the whole afternoon, and only after dark did she feel her fatigue ease a little.

As soon as I got up and opened the door, I saw a man raising his hand, as if he was about to knock on the door.

Sang Dai and Su Xuan looked at each other.

"Su Xuan?"

He changed his clothes and returned to his own high-profile and luxurious clothes. His silver hair was only half-tied up with a wooden hairpin. The hairpin was too plain and did not match his clothes.

But he was dressed very nicely. He was good-looking to begin with, and after a little grooming he looked even more handsome.

Su Xuan withdrew his hand as if nothing had happened and said calmly, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival."

Sandy: "...Yeah, I know."

Su Xuan frowned and said, "Today is Mid-Autumn Festival."

Sandy: “…I know.”

Su Xuan was so angry that he was about to explode.

[Today is Mid-Autumn Festival! There is a banquet in the demon world. Tell me you want to go and see it! Tell me you want to spend Mid-Autumn Festival with me! I have already changed my clothes!!]

Sandy finally smiled, the corners of her eyes raised, and a small pear-shaped vortex was faintly visible at the corners of her lips.

So that's how it is. No wonder he is dressed so nicely today.

Sandy raised her eyebrows and pretended to be suddenly enlightened: "Ah, today is Mid-Autumn Festival. Look how quickly my brain has reacted."

Su Xuan snorted coldly.

Sandy blinked and asked, "My Lord Demon King, I want to go to the demon world. I heard that the demon world will hold a grand banquet during the Mid-Autumn Festival. There is no such rule in the fairy world. Can you take me to have a look?"

The tip of Su Xuan's tail is almost pink.

The corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, but he still acted arrogantly: "The demon world has always been tolerant of prisoners, unlike you immortals. I have nothing to do today, so it's not impossible for me to accompany you to take a look."

【Dai Dai!! Celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival with Dai Dai!!!】

Sandy laughed louder and louder.

Su Xuan turned around, took out the things in the Qiankun bag and handed them to Sang Dai: "Here."

Sandy took it and said, "What?"

Su Xuan said coldly: "I just bought some clothes."

Sandy: "Did you just buy it?"

"How else could I spend a fortune to make one for you? Miss Sang is not my demon queen. I only buy clothes for my wife."

Sandy fell silent as she looked at the Penglai Nishang in her hand.

Su Xuan had already turned around: "Go and change it quickly. There is a pearl hairpin in the box. Let Cui Shao put it on you."

A certain swordsman only knew how to wear a simple bun, while those exquisite buns were mostly done with green peony flowers.

Cuishao followed Sang Dai in.

Su Xuan stood in the yard, looking at the osmanthus trees all over the garden, and suddenly smiled.

There was a smile between his eyebrows, melting all the frost.

After the swordsman came out, a certain fox became completely worthless.

The colorful dress of Penglai is produced once every ten years. He specially went to buy it and spent ten thousand spirit stones. Perhaps others would think it was not worth it, but when this colorful dress was worn on the person he loved, the blue dress was light, the hem was layered but not bulky, and the pieces of gauze piled together seemed to bloom when he walked.

Cui Shao really likes to dress up a certain swordsman. Knowing that the Lord likes Miss Sang, she specially made an extra complicated bun for Sang Dai today and pinned her with many hair accessories specially made by Su Xuan.

She also put some makeup on the swordsman, painted an exquisite flower on his forehead, applied a thin layer of powder on his face, and lightly drew his eyebrows, making him look stunningly beautiful.

Sandy was already outstanding in appearance, and those with awakened heavenly spiritual roots were extremely favored by the Heaven in every aspect.

But it was the first time that Sandi wore makeup in front of Su Xuan, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Seeing Su Xuan's expressionless face, she felt a little uneasy.

She touched the flower ornament on her forehead and said with her red lips: "Su Xuan, is this strange?"

Cui Shao looked at her master with confusion.

Didn't he tell her before that when Sandy was in the Demon Palace, she should serve him wholeheartedly, and just ask him for food, clothes, and everything else she needed, and he would give her the best of everything?

She glanced at Miss Sang again. She was very beautiful. The cold and elegant swordsman was as beautiful as a fairy from heaven. Cui Shao was almost infatuated with her.

So this is our Lord——

Cui Shao turned her head and just saw the ears popping out on Su Xuan's forehead.

His two ears moved a little at a time, as if he was extremely excited.

Cui Shao: “…”

And in Sandy's mind:

【Dade!!!】

[I know that this Nishang is worth buying, only 100,000 spirit stones? No, let Liu Lixue make up another 100,000!!]

[I have also reserved the next Nishang for myself. This is so beautiful!!! Who is this person? She is clearly a fairy!!]

Sandy: “…”

She burst out laughing, covering her mouth and smiling.

[So cute, so cute, so cute!!!]

[I have also prepared a gift for Dai Dai, Dai Dai will definitely like it. Tonight is my first Mid-Autumn Festival with Dai Dai!!]

There is a gift.

Cui Shao had already left with a smile, leaving the place to Su Xuan and Sang Dai.

Sandy walked down the stairs with her skirt lifted, came in front of him, looked up at him and said, "Su Xuan, do I look good?"

A fox looked down at her and said coldly: "...It's OK."

Chang Mang: “…”

Why don't you put away that worthless smile before you speak?

Sandy smiled and said, "Thank you for the clothes and jewelry. I will give you a gift as well."

Su Xuan clenched his hanging hands, his Adam's apple rolled hard, and his mind was full of the urge to hug her.

He spoke in a hoarse voice: "What gift?"

Sandy said:

"A gift I think you'll like."
