Nangong Ling'er nodded. "No rush, tell me slowly."
Miao Xiaodie sat down to the side, her gaze fixed on Bai Yao. After scrutinizing her for a long time, she looked at Nangong Ling'er and said, "Let's talk about Xiao Yuhan first. He has a shackle, or what you might call the laws of heaven, or some other kind of power. In Yu Hui's memory, it should be called a system. Yu Hui has a great hatred for this thing. No... it can't be called hatred. It's just that she seems to have some reason to destroy this system. And I think the key to it lies with this little girl."
As she spoke, Miao Xiaodie pointed at Bai Yao, who was also somewhat surprised, "Me...me?"
“That’s right. Her memories are very confused, but she has seen many faces that look like yours. There’s something I have to tell you. In her memories, there is a woman who looks just like the little girl. That woman is very strong. She is the leader of the demon race and the first king of the world.”
Hearing this, even Nangong Ling'er, who didn't yet understand the source of Bai Yao's demonic power, seemed to understand something. "Could this girl be related to the demon leader you mentioned?"
Miao Xiaodie scrutinized Bai Yao again, "It's hard to say, but it seems that the two of them have already been targeted by the Heavenly Demon Abyss. However, in the end, Yu Hui may have started this grand scheme a long time ago. Our Five Immortals Sect was the first to be targeted. The spiritual veins in the Southern Wilderness are quite different from those in the Central Plains. They are rich in spiritual energy and sparsely populated. The most important reason why they have been looking for me is that I have the key to unlocking the seal on the spiritual veins. Whether it is the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Kunlun Immortal Sect, the Snow Cold Blade Sect, the Lotus Flower Temple, or our Five Immortals Sect, they are all top-tier sects in the martial arts world. Our sects all occupy spiritual veins, so their target is obviously the spiritual veins."
At this point, Bai Yao asked with some doubt, "Speaking of which, the spiritual energy in the Southern Frontier is indeed more abundant than that in the Central Plains. Is this also due to the spiritual veins?"
Miao Xiaodie shook her head, then glanced at Nangong Ling'er. "Didn't you teach this little girl? The spiritual energy in this world is finite. Birth and death are merely the transfer of spiritual energy, not its consumption. But whether human or demon, while absorbing spiritual energy, they are also purifying themselves. In the end, when they perish, the spiritual energy they give back to heaven and earth will be even purer. That's why our major sects, which occupy spiritual veins, can be called first-rate in the martial arts world, because we have already absorbed more. But... judging from historical records, before the Ancient War, there were many experts in the world stronger than us. But gradually, today, we rarely even see experts at the Dao Integration Realm. So... if there have never been cultivators at the Mahayana stage, or even immortals, why are there such records left behind?"
Although Nangong Ling'er was listening intently, she felt that she was going off-topic. "What does all this have to do with saving my senior brother?"
Miao Xiaodie tilted her head. "Hmm? Shouldn't we figure out Yu Hui's purpose first before we can take the right approach? First of all, if you don't know why she wants to use methods to trap Xiao Yuhan, then we won't be able to find any clues about the methods she uses to trap Xiao Yuhan."
"So, do you have a clue?"
Miao Xiaodie frowned. "I have a guess. I've heard about what happened to you in Beiyuan. If I'm not mistaken, this girl and Xiao Yuhan were both captured and then released, right?"
"Yes, and then what? What's your guess?" Nangong Ling'er asked impatiently.
Miao Xiaodie thought for a moment, "Let's talk about Xiao Yuhan first. Since I suspect that she is trying to deal with the thing called the system inside Xiao Yuhan, but she has already captured the person but has not made a move, I think it is more likely that she is not yet capable of doing such a thing. Is your guess correct?"
"She might not be able to do it right now? That's possible, but it's also possible she has other motives?"
Miao Xiaodie smiled slightly, "I already said it's just a guess, so let's just assume she can't do it. So how could she do it?"
Nangong Ling'er frowned, increasingly unable to understand what Miao Xiaodie was trying to say.
Miao Xiaodie pointed at Bai Yao and continued, "Yu Hui probably lacks the power. He has so many experts around him, and one of them defeated me with a single sword strike. If he can't do that, then it must be an even more terrifying power. Judging from what you've experienced in Beiyuan, this little girl might have such power. But she also captured this little girl, so why did she release her? This demonic power must be extremely terrifying, right?"
Hearing this, Nangong Ling'er turned to look at Bai Yao, and remained silent for a long time. "Don't worry about the power she possesses. Yao'er is a member of our Heavenly Sword Sect. I will take responsibility for anything that happens to her."
"Oh? You're going to take the blame? Can you handle it? I heard he was able to repel a demonic dragon that was above the Dao Integration Realm. That kind of strength is at least at the late stage of the Dao Integration Realm or even higher. Moreover, the dragon race is the strongest in the same realm. Let me put it this way, I'll make a hypothetical scenario: what if Bai Yao becomes an uncontrollable factor? What will you do then?"
Nangong Ling'er hesitated for a moment, but she still said firmly, "I will not let her become that uncontrollable factor."
At this moment, Bai Yao also said, "I can control my demonic power, so Sect Leader Miao, you don't need to worry about it."
Miao Xiaodie seemed to have thought of something, and laughed with a hint of sarcasm. "The biggest lie in this world is thinking I can do it, and the most foolish thing is thinking I can control it. But look at me. Back in the Southern Frontier, if I had just asked you for help, it would have been easy to control the Five Immortals Church. But back then, I thought I could do it, that I could. So now I'm a stray dog. Do you understand, you two girls?"
