A white fox came running through the sky, and judging from its direction, it was probably heading towards Bai Yu.
At this moment, Bai Yu roared, "So it was you!"
It then transformed into a dragon, a black candle dragon soaring into the sky and heading straight for the nine-tailed white fox.
Only after getting close enough to experience Bai Yu's true form did Nangong Ling'er truly feel his power. Not only was his realm powerful, but the pressure emanating from his dragon bloodline was also chilling.
But all of this seemed to have nothing to do with the people here. Two legendary divine beasts clashed in the sky, causing the heavens and earth to change color, with lightning and thunder. Soon after, fireballs that had been scattered fell from the sky, followed by ice shards. Nangong Ling'er dragged her injured body and slowly walked toward Master Kuhai to check on the monk's injuries.
Master Kuhai was on the verge of death, but fortunately his life was not in danger. More than half of the disciples who came here this time were lost. Although most of them were disciples of the Xuehan Blade Sect, other sects also sent many experts. Even the sect leader of the Kunlun Immortal Sect sacrificed himself in this battle.
With no news of Xiao Yuhan and Nanmen Yihen, Nangong Ling'er remained vigilant. She quickly took out life-saving pills and distributed them to those who were still able to move. Then, she treated the wounded and hurriedly left the area.
Because she couldn't guarantee what would happen next, she just wanted to bring the surviving disciples back with her.
However, at this moment, a disciple suddenly ran in in a panic, "Elder Nangong, a lot of demons have appeared in the city. Some... some look like vengeful spirits, but they have demonic energy on them. They have surrounded the entire Northern Barbarian Dragon City. Several disciples attacked them, but there are many experts among them, and we have suffered heavy casualties!"
Upon hearing this, Nangong Ling'er's expression changed drastically. "How could there be demons? Where did they come from? Tell all the disciples who can still move to gather the wounded at the ruins of the Governor's Office. Forget about the dead brothers for now, get moving!"
Upon hearing this, the disciple accepted the order and withdrew. Nangong Ling'er was about to fly up to check the situation when she noticed a familiar figure rushing towards her from not far behind. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Bai Yao, who had been missing for many days.
She rushed forward, "Yao'er, where have you been? Your master is so worried!"
Bai Yao's expression darkened. "It's a long story, Junior Uncle, please save Master!"
Nangong Ling'er then noticed the white-haired man on Bai Yao's back. Because his head had been lowered and his white hair had obscured his face, Nangong Ling'er hadn't recognized him as Xiao Yuhan. But upon hearing Bai Yao's words, she immediately froze, reaching out to help the person behind Bai Yao down, but then subconsciously withdrew her hand, clenching her fist tightly in front of her. "This...this is Senior Brother?"
Bai Yao nodded, tears glistening in her eyes.
Nangong Ling'er gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward to help Xiao Yuhan down. She then said in a trembling voice, "Yao'er... put your senior brother down first and protect me while I check his injuries."
Bai Yao responded softly, keeping a close watch on her surroundings. Although she was very worried about her master's situation, after looking around, she focused her gaze on the two great demons who were fiercely fighting in the sky. Her expression was solemn as she watched Xiao Jiu being at a disadvantage, which made her even more worried. In mid-air, the Candle Dragon was bitten by the Nine-Tailed Fox.
However, the dragon's claws had already gripped the white fox's throat, and it even tore off one of Xiao Jiu's fox tails.
For some reason, Bai Yao's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by something. Suddenly, she raised her hand and hooked a long spear that had fallen to the ground into her hand.
The young girl stared at the sky with a cold gaze, slowly raising the spear in her hand. In that instant, perhaps even she herself was unaware of the change in herself.
A demonic power no weaker than that of the two in the sky suddenly emanated, causing all the demons in the city to tremble in fear. Even the nine-tailed white fox and the white jade dragon in the sky stopped fighting, as if they had sensed some terrifying aura.
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er turned her head and looked at Bai Yao with an incredulous expression. Her cold eyes and intense killing intent made her look nothing like the innocent little girl she used to be.
