Bai Yao stared at the Candle Dragon in the sky. With the enhancement of her demonic power, the spear in her hand transformed into starlight, tearing through the void. It seemed to appear before the Candle Dragon in an instant. The Candle Dragon could not dodge in time and was pierced through the neck by the spear. It transformed back into human form, its eyes filled with terror, and fled like a madman.
Xiao Jiu lost a fox tail and was injured, her cultivation level dropped, but she still chased after her. However, Bai Yu's speed was surprisingly fast, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Bai Yao stood still and did not give chase. Even in her unconscious state, she was still unwilling to leave Xiao Yuhan, fearing that he would be hurt if she left.
Bai Yao's demonic power and methods were witnessed by many. Although many fellow cultivators from various immortal sects had seen this little girl from the Heavenly Sword Sect, they still felt some fear in their hearts. Most people did not have a good impression of the demon race.
Although Bai Yao essentially drove away the demonic dragon, these people were even more wary of this little girl who used demonic power. However, no one dared to say anything, fearing that she might also be a ruthless killer. Having just experienced such a fierce battle, no one was willing to think about these issues for the time being.
Nangong Ling'er looked at the unfamiliar Bai Yao. "Yao... Yao'er, what happened to you just now?"
At this moment, Bai Yao's gaze softened, and she turned to look at Nangong Ling'er with a puzzled expression, "Junior Aunt? Just now? What happened just now?"
Bai Yao suddenly frowned, looked down at the still fluctuating demonic energy in her palm, and after a careful recollection, her expression changed drastically, "Just now... what did I do?"
Nangong Ling'er did not answer, but her gaze towards Bai Yao became somewhat unfamiliar. She lowered her head and looked worriedly at Xiao Yuhan, who had a full head of white hair and looked dazed. Her heart was extremely heavy.
Xiao Jiu in the sky was injured, but she did not approach Bai Yao. Instead, she squatted on a distant rooftop and waited quietly while healing herself, but her gaze never left Bai Yao.
The surrounding immortal disciples also began to clean up the battlefield, treat the wounded, and dispose of the corpses.
Everything seemed to have returned to calm, but within the entire Northern Barbarian Dragon City, a large number of demons did not disperse; in fact, their numbers continued to grow. The disciples of the immortal sects, who were already exhausted, huddled together to guard the area. They discovered that as long as they did not take the initiative to attack these demons, the demons would not attack them.
However, disputes still occurred, because some disciples who were unaware of the situation attacked these demons, and many of them died at the hands of these demons, breaking the rare peace once again.
When Bai Yao realized that the two groups had started fighting, she immediately sent Xiao Jiu to deal with the situation and disperse the demons who had gathered again.
Xiao Jiu jumped down from the roof and bowed to Bai Yao, "Your Majesty, those demons are not following my orders; they came for you!"
"I'll say it again! I am not some emperor!"
"You are the only one in the world who can command the submission of all demon races. Moreover, only you and one other person can injure that demon dragon with a single move. And that other person's true form is currently suppressed at the foot of Phoenix Cry Mountain."
Bai Yao wasn't stupid. In fact, after experiencing all this, she realized her own unusual nature, but at this moment she didn't want to think about these issues. All she wanted to do was save her master, so she said again, "Didn't you say you would be loyal to me? Go and lead these demons away from this place!"
Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment, "I won't leave your side..."
Bai Yao sighed, "I need to find a way to save my master now. If you really want to stay by my side, come back to the Heavenly Sword Sect to find me. Also, you are not allowed to call me Emperor anymore!"
"Yes!" Xiao Jiu replied, then turned and left after a moment's thought. She then ordered the demons to leave Northern Dragon City. As the demon tide receded, a little girl in a red dress and white skirt ran towards Bai Yao and hugged her tightly, exclaiming, "Junior Sister, I'm so glad you're alright..."
Bai Yao reached out and patted Ai Yue, who was hugging her, a smile appearing on her lips. "Senior sister, let's talk about this later. Master is in trouble, and I have to find a way to save him."
At this moment, Nangong Ling'er looked up at the two of them. She was originally a little worried about Bai Yao's condition. Many years ago, she knew that this little girl had a powerful force in her body, but only after seeing it with her own eyes today did she realize how terrifying the power hidden in her body was.
But right now, she didn't have the mood to care about so much. After checking Xiao Yuhan's condition, she said, "Senior Brother's physical condition is fine, he doesn't even have any internal injuries, and his soul is not damaged. It's just that he's in a deep sleep for some reason. This is a very troublesome problem. Considering the situation when Senior Brother was attacked the first time we came here, it should be the same person who did it. Who exactly did you encounter?"
Bai Yao shook her head, "I don't know... I heard Murong Zhi say he was from the Heavenly Demon Valley, but... Master also said that Junior Brother might have been possessed, so... I don't dare to believe that Murong Zhi, but at that time I was with Master and didn't dare to get too involved."
After thinking for a long time, Nangong Ling'er said, "Don't rush, Yao'er... I won't ask you about what happened just now. Tell me when you want to. Right now, I just want to confirm one thing: you won't hurt your senior brother, right?"
Hearing these words that seemed familiar yet also somewhat unfamiliar, Bai Yao looked a little disappointed. For some reason, it seemed that not only the people around her, but even her junior uncle and herself, had developed an invisible barrier.
"Of course I wouldn't hurt Master... Junior Uncle, why are you asking such a question..." Bai Yao lowered her head in disappointment, feeling both uneasy and fearful, but she didn't continue.
Nangong Ling'er knew that what she had just said was inappropriate, but she was indeed somewhat wary of Bai Yao now.
She didn't explain anything, but simply said, "Senior Brother Xiao is your master. From now on, you will stay by his side until we return to the Heavenly Sword Sect."
