Nangong Ling'er was worried about something else. When she was examining her senior brother's body, she sensed some different power. There was something like a law that was imprisoning her senior brother's soul. But what surprised her even more was that there was another law in her senior brother's body that was also imprisoned by other means.
She didn't know it was a system, or even what a system was, but she still sensed its existence.
Moreover, she couldn't fathom the enemy's thoughts. First, they captured Bai Yao, and then they ruined Senior Brother Xiao like this. What exactly were they after?
Nangong Ling'er thought to herself that if she captured the enemy but didn't kill him, then he must have some other scheme.
But she couldn't figure out what Yu Hui's scheme was. She could guess some things about Bai Yao, after all, she had such terrifying demonic power hidden in her body, but what about her senior brother?
The vengeful spirits in Beiyuan have subsided, but before that, she still needs to lead the team back to the Xuehan Blade Sect. As for Senior Brother Xiao, she can't treat him in peace right now; she can only find a safe place first.
What she didn't know was that Yu Hui wanted to release Bai Yao so that Bai Yao could understand that she, the Heavenly Sword Sect, and even the human race were not the same. She wanted Bai Yao to realize this herself. Only when Bai Yao no longer regarded the Heavenly Sword Sect and Xiao Yuhan as gods could she make her own choice.
A disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect who has awakened demonic power returns to the Heavenly Sword Sect. Before long, the whole world will know that Xiao Yuhan's disciple, Bai Yao, is a demon. This is Yu Hui's plan.
Letting Xiao Yuhan go was also part of the plan, to guide Bai Yao to go to the Heavenly Demon Abyss to save people. Moreover, Yu Hui could not kill Xiao Yuhan now, because she still had something to settle with the system.
If Xiao Yuhan dies, the system will have to change hosts, and it won't be so easy to find the system again. For so many years, the system has been looking for her, and she has been looking for the system all along.
All she could do all along was kill the host chosen by the system, thus forcing the system to find a new host. Only by constantly suppressing the system could it be prevented from returning to its most complete state.
But this time is different, because Yu Hui is about to break the seal of the Heavenly Demon Abyss and leave that place. When she can wake up again, the first thing she wants to do is to deal with the system, which is a major concern.
Nangong Ling'er naturally couldn't guess Yu Hui's thoughts, because she didn't understand them at all. In fact, she and Yu Hui hadn't even had much contact. She only knew that he was the master of Tianmojian, and that he was an enemy of Tianjian Sect and even the entire human race.
She was willing to believe Bai Yao, but she was still uneasy. Back when Bai Yao was still an infant, her parents died because of her. Could an infant have any bad intentions?
She was just worried that Bai Yao wouldn't be able to control the power within her, or rather... Nangong Ling'er was also worried about where Bai Yao's power came from and whether it truly belonged to her. If Bai Yao could control it, even if she was a demon, she would still be the Yao'er she had watched grow up.
She didn't show any of these concerns, but simply arranged for Zhang Chengfeng to stay by Xiao Yuhan's side, ostensibly to protect the master and disciple.
After finishing everything, Nangong Ling'er instructed the disciples of the immortal sects to clean up the battlefield and prepare to return to the Xuehan Blade Sect. In this battle, nearly 70% of the disciples died, and sect leaders such as Zhao Yuanji of the Northern Wilderness Sword Sect, Li Zhi of Lingsu City, Xiao Ning'er of Anhe City, and Qin Yuejiao, the sect leader of the Kunlun Immortal Sect, had all sacrificed themselves.
The ground was a mess, and many disciples had become numb after their minds had relaxed.
After properly burying the bodies of their fallen comrades and bandaging their wounds, they silently followed the main force back home.
The bodies of those sect leaders were not buried. Nangong Ling'er ordered people to take them away, after all, this was to give an explanation to their respective sects.
She personally prepared Qin Yuejiao's remains. Although they had only known each other for a short time, they had gone through such a dangerous battlefield together and had formed a bond. Moreover, Qin Yuejiao's death was somewhat related to her.
After finishing everything, the group left the Northern Barbarian Dynasty. The journey back was relatively peaceful. The vengeful spirits that were everywhere on the way there were no longer there. Even if there were still wandering souls, they were about to dissipate.
After traversing the Taihang Mountains, Nangong Ling'er led the remaining troops back to the Snow Cold Blade Sect. However, upon arrival, she was horrified by the broken walls and ruins before her.
