After speaking, the woman in green picked up her immortal sword and walked out. Since the Autumn Water Sword was destroyed back then, she had not put much effort into swordsmanship. Even her fighting methods had become medical techniques. She had gradually forgotten that she was once one of the Five Swords of Ling Su.
The streets were in complete disarray, littered with corpses and severed limbs. Ku Hai lay heavily wounded to one side. Nangong Ling'er joined the battle, not daring to relax for a moment. She used pills and acupuncture to stimulate her acupoints, giving her a speed even greater than Bai Yu's, but she dared not make any mistakes.
Speed is meant to prevent the opponent from catching you, but if you miss, you're doomed, given the difference in skill between the two.
Nangong Ling'er didn't know if her methods could effectively harm the enemy, but she still went to fight Bai Yu without hesitation. Bai Yu was successfully distracted by her. At this moment, the girl brought out her reaction and observation skills to the extreme and fought against her.
...
On the other side, outside the Northern Barbarian King's city, a large number of vengeful spirits that had transformed into demonic beasts gathered. They escorted a young girl and cleared a path for her, while the girl carried a white-haired man on her back as they walked slowly forward.
Since Bai Yao brought Xiao Yuhan out, she could see many wandering spirits at any time. However, those spirits either no longer harbored resentment or dissipated in front of her. But most of them were like the ones in front of her, who were in awe of her but unwilling to leave. Even when Bai Yao attacked them out of caution at first, they did not fight back.
Gradually, Bai Yao discovered that these vengeful spirits, who had become demons, would not resist her, so she made them clear a path for her.
Along the way, the demons would kneel before her, respectfully calling her Empress, and then follow behind Bai Yao, unwilling to leave no matter what. Bai Yao was originally very wary of them, but for some reason, she felt a bit of sympathy for the demons, no, to be precise, it should be pity, the kind of pity a monarch has for his subjects.
Bai Yao hadn't yet realized what this situation meant; she only had one thing on her mind: to find her junior uncle and rescue her master.
This was the first time she had carried her master on her back like this. In the past, she would always lie on her master's back when she was tired and fall asleep. Today, she was a little dazed. As she was thinking, she quickened her pace, but suddenly several powerful demonic beasts appeared and blocked her way.
"Your Majesty, a powerful demon king is wreaking havoc in the city. If you go in now, you might be caught in the crossfire."
Upon hearing that something had happened in the city, Bai Yao became anxious. "Get out of the way! And I'm not some empress. If you keep bothering me, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"No! You have given us new life, and we will never mistake your presence. If you need us, we are willing to give our lives for the Empress!" The speaker was a vengeful spirit who had recently condensed his demonic body. He was probably a demon from the Northern Plains in life, but after death he became a spirit, and then a demon in his spirit form. Therefore, he was one of the most devout followers in this place.
Judging from their strength, they at least possessed the power of the Void Returning Realm. Bai Yao dared not accept them, especially after visiting the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall. She knew how the demon race was defined in the hearts of humans, so she would not admit to being a demon, much less become the empress of these demons. Right now, she only wanted to take her master to find her junior uncle.
But upon hearing that a demon king was wreaking havoc in the city, she remained cautious. "What's this demon king you're talking about?"
"Your Majesty, judging from the aura, it should be a dragon!"
No sooner had the words been spoken than a woman's voice suddenly rang out from among the demons, "That dragon is called Bai Yu, a descendant of the Zhu Jiuyin lineage of the Zhongshan Dragon Clan. She was once one of the ten demon kings under Your Majesty's command."
At this moment, the demons dispersed, making way for the person who had spoken.
A white-haired woman stepped forward. Her aura was so powerful that all the demons dared not look directly at her. She slowly walked to Bai Yao, knelt down on one knee, and said with tears in her eyes, "Your Majesty, I'm sorry... Xiao Jiu is late... From this moment on, I will never leave your side again."
