Before he could finish speaking, a shoe flew towards him.
"Go to hell with you, I knew you weren't a good person the moment I saw you."
A childish, irritable voice suddenly shattered the momentary tranquility, and Meng Wanwan darted out like a little cannon.
"baby!"
Meng Xiuyi and the others exclaimed in surprise.
The shoe that Meng Wanwan threw out was easily brushed away by Baili Chuan, while Meng Wanwan shouted in mid-air.
"Nian Nian!"
A flash of white light passed between her brows, and Meng Wanwan's speed suddenly increased as she flew away.
The more you dwell on it, the more injuries you suffer!
Baili Chuan tried to use the same trick again and swung out a palm, but unexpectedly, the spiritual energy he unleashed was torn apart by Meng Wanwan, and the little cannon directly crashed into his chest.
Baili Chuan's expression changed, and he was sent flying backward.
Baili Qing stared in astonishment at Meng Wanwan landing, then gave her a thumbs up: "Amazing!"
Meng Wanwan glanced at him coldly, and Baili Qing immediately said, "Don't hit me. My brother and I are not on the same side. I'll tell you whatever you want to know."
"Baili Qing, come here!"
After regaining his balance, Baili Chuan immediately called out to Baili Qing.
Unexpectedly, Baili Qing glanced at him and said, "I hate the current you, Baili Chuan. I hate people who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. How did you become like this? We agreed that we were just bringing A-Ting back!"
Baili Chuan roared, "Shut up! What do you know? This is Father and Uncle Han's decision!"
Baili Qing's face turned ashen: "I don't care whose decision it was, I only know that this is wrong! Brother, you and Father can't let personal interests cloud your judgment of right and wrong!"
"What do you mean by being unable to distinguish right from wrong?" Baili Chuan's face also twisted: "I didn't kill the people here, and I didn't set up the barrier, so how am I unable to distinguish right from wrong?"
Baili Qing shouted, "But I saw you poison the Xun family! Even if you didn't kill them, you still contributed to it!"
"Baili Qing! Do you want to die?"
"Yes, you killed me! If this is how you and my father act, then I'd rather not be named Baili!"
Baili Qing stood before Meng Wanwan, facing Baili Chuan. His body trembled slightly; he was furious to the extreme, yet powerless to do anything.
"I'm starting to doubt why you brought A-Ting back. Is it the Scroll of the Heavens? If so, then, brother, if you're going to take A-Ting away, you'll have to step over my dead body."
“I was taught from birth that as a righteous cultivator, I should uphold justice and eliminate evil. This is my path.”
"If the Baili family is not my path, and I cannot abandon the Baili bloodline, then kill me!"
Baili Chuan looked at him with deep eyes, then swung his palm and struck Baili Qing directly on the head.
Baili Qing fainted.
Meng Wanwan quickly retreated and returned to Meng Xiuyi's side.
Baili Chuan watched as Baili Qing fell from the roof, but he didn't move. Instead, he slowly walked back to his original spot and said to Zhu Ting, "A Ting, look at the sky."
Zhu Ting trembled all over, tears streaming down his face.
His gaze was fixed on Zhu Haishan, who was pinned to the door panel, and he didn't listen to what Baili Chuan was saying at all.
Baili Chuan didn't care. He said, "You have spiritual roots and shouldn't have lived in the mortal world. It's because you were hidden in this mortal world by Zhuhai Mountain that Fengling Town suffered such a calamity."
"Come with me, to where you belong. Look, those people on the horizon are already catching up. They're not here for you, but for the Myriad Heavens Scroll of Mount Zhuhai. When that happens, your friends probably won't be able to leave either."
"Damn it, I can't listen to this anymore!"
Helian Xiao roared and caught the greatsword that Meng Xiuyi threw at him, then swung it and smashed it at Baili Chuan.
Baili Chuan is a Golden Core cultivator, while Helian Xiao, whose strength has been suppressed, is a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage.
However, it's alright.
He has the wind elemental root.
"Wind and Cloud Slash!" Helian Xiao's entire body spun like a small whirlwind, and four whirlwinds instantly appeared in the world, attacking Baili Chuan from four directions.
Baili Chuan raised his hand and summoned his magic weapon, a golden bell that enveloped him.
Meng Wanwan kicked out with her small foot, and then instantly Xiao Luo.
"Subdue the cage!"
Six golden chains instantly rose from the ground, tightly binding the golden bell. She formed a hand seal, and the golden chains tightened sharply.
With a bang, Meng Wanwan's chains shattered. Meng Wanwan collapsed to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, her spiritual energy frantically repairing her injuries.
Meng Wanwan's eyes were bloodshot.
She's still too weak, too weak!
She was powerless against the person she hated!
Three light blue swords slashed through the sky and pierced towards Bailichuan.
Meng Xiuyi, who had been protecting the pavilions with a barrier, suddenly drew her sword and attacked.
The 38-inch light blue sword, with its piercing force, truly made Baili Chuan feel a sense of crisis.
Baili Chuan's pupils contracted slightly. He put away his magic weapon, quickly retreated, and disappeared into the night.
Meng Xiuyi sheathed her sword and looked into the distance.
"They're here."
Helian Xiao said, "These people probably can't distinguish between reality and illusion anymore. It would be very dangerous for us to stay here. Should we retreat first?"
He looked at Zhu Ting, who was still in a daze.
The sudden change of events made this gentle and kind girl numb, and she couldn't even listen to what others were saying.
Meng Xiuyi replied, "No need."
Meng Wanwan looked at Meng Xiuyi.
Meng Xiuyi patted her head and said, "I will explain to you later, but this time, we must face these people."
Meng Wanwan nodded slightly.
She trusted her father.
A massive, dark army of cultivators surrounded them, and the heavy pressure and killing intent filled the air with restlessness.
"Who is Zhu Haishan? Come out!" someone shouted.
Meng Xiuyi stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Do you all still remember why you entered the painting?"
His voice was soft, seemingly carrying a cool and aloof quality that instantly calmed the boiling blood of the crowd.
The heavy air pressure has eased somewhat.
"Who are you?" someone shouted.
At this moment, a person stepped out from the dark crowd, cupped his hands and said, "Are you Fellow Daoist Meng?"
Meng Xiuyi nodded: "Young Master Shangguan."
The person who stepped forward was none other than Shangguan Jinghong.
Shangguan Jinghong said to the dark mass of cultivators, "Fellow Daoist Meng is also a cultivator who has entered the realm of painting. Why don't we listen to what's going on on his side?"
"What's so good about it?"
Someone angrily retorted, "The dead are truly dead! What's so good about that? Even if the person in the painting was the murderer, shouldn't they pay the price?"
Meng Xiuyi said coldly, "The price?"
He pointed to Zhu Haishan's corpse: "You mean this?"
Shangguan Jinghong exclaimed in surprise, "This is... Zhuhai Mountain?"
Meng Xiuyi: "That's right, Zhu Haishan is long dead. I don't know what happened to you in the Xun family, but you should understand now that you, and Zhu Haishan, have all been tricked."
Shangguan Jinghong seemed unsurprised by this, and asked, "Does Fellow Daoist Meng know who plotted against both of us?"
Meng Xiuyi: "The Baili family, the Baili River."
The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
Bailijia?
"The Baili family? That Baili family outside Nine Heavens City?"
"Isn't this the world in the painting? Shouldn't this be the Baili family's residence?"
"Besides, we've never heard of the name Bailichuan before."
Meng Xiuyi looked up at the purple night sky and sighed softly.
He said, "It's the Baili family outside Jiutian City."
"Hahahaha, a lowly scoundrel who slaughtered my sect's disciples dares to spout nonsense here?" A loud voice suddenly rose, and a burly man stepped forward.
He pointed his longsword at Meng Xiuyi, his hatred blazing: "On Wuyou Mountain, you feigned madness and killed countless disciples of my Shanglin Sect, but here you want to act like a saint? Ha! Then tell me, who is the girl behind you?"
Meng Xiuyi frowned slightly but remained silent.
Zhu Ting raised his eyes in confusion and looked at them.
The person from the Shanglin Sect sneered: "If I'm not mistaken, she is a descendant of Zhu Haishan? Meng Xiuyi, if Baili Chuan is indeed from the Baili family, then I must ask, is that Zhutian Scroll real?"
"If it's true, then where is the Scroll of All Heavens?"
Countless gazes fell upon Zhu Ting, some ferocious, some greedy, some knowing, and some insane.
It was as if they wanted to devour this frail woman alive.
The people of Shanglin Sect continued to speculate: "Are you trying to confuse the issue here, perhaps because you want to monopolize the Scroll of the Heavens?"
