Every change must have its reason.
Judging from his own experience, his appearance as a time traveler changed many plot points.
If any plot points deviate from the original story and have nothing to do with him, then it can only be due to external interference, such as other time travelers or "it".
The previous eighty-eight transmigrators like himself had already died, although it cannot be ruled out that the Blood Spirit Abyss was related to them.
But now Xiao Yuhan is more willing to believe that these things are related to "it".
However, there is very little information about "it". Since this speculation has been made, Xiao Yuhan feels that this matter is not so simple.
Previously, there was a contact with "it" at the Blood God Cult headquarters in the Southern Frontier. At that time, "it" had taken over Miao Xiaodie's body. "It" understood the original work and knew the plot development. It even wanted to join forces with the treacherous and cunning person it was. At that time, "it" demanded that Xiao Yuhan hand over Bai Yao.
Could it be that "it" is after Bai Yao?
Upon thinking of this, Xiao Yuhan immediately became restless.
Since "it" is very likely to target Bai Yao, and the existence of the Blood Spirit Abyss is indeed related to "it", then Bai Yao should be the one in real danger at this moment.
"Senior brother! You keep an eye on senior sister for now, I'm going back to the Discipline Hall!"
After saying this, Xiao Yuhan hurried back to the back mountain of the Discipline Hall, feeling uneasy.
In front of Bai Yao's residence, Xiao Yuhan finally met the white-robed scholar Li Wenruo. The two were exchanging words. Upon seeing this, he immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning and arrived in front of Li Wenruo, striking out with a palm. Unexpectedly, Li Wenruo did not dodge and met his palm strike.
Xiao Yuhan is now at the third level of the Void Returning Realm. Since absorbing Long Xiaoyu's cultivation, which caused a mutation in his nascent soul, his spiritual power has become far more domineering than before.
After exchanging blows, Li Wenruo was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
Xiao Yuhan turned to check on Bai Yao's condition and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that she was safe and sound.
He then looked at Li Wenruo, somewhat surprised. He knew that this man had once been a scholar who couldn't even kill a chicken. Even if he had obtained some kind of opportunity and become a demon disciple, he shouldn't have this kind of strength. Judging from the strength of that palm strike, this person should be close to the Nascent Soul Realm. Although he wasn't strong, it was still quite fast for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul Realm in just a hundred years.
Without much thought, Xiao Yuhan stepped forward, grabbed the boy, and demanded, "Speak! What is your purpose in coming to the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
Li Wenruo suddenly burst into laughter, seemingly without a trace of fear. He said, "I thought I could be your equal, but I didn't expect I couldn't even withstand one of your palm strikes!"
"Answer my questions! Why all the nonsense? Even if you had the strength you have today a hundred years ago, you wouldn't be my match!" Xiao Yuhan said angrily.
Li Wenruo immediately softened his tone and said with a smile, "Immortal Xiao, please don't be so angry. If I die, your Senior Sister Shen won't be able to live either, so let's talk politely."
The Li Wenruo she remembered was aloof and eccentric, completely different from the person she knew now. But Xiao Yuhan didn't delve into those details. To prevent him from escaping, Xiao Yuhan immediately cast a restriction to trap him, and then said, "If you want to talk, I'll chat with you slowly!"
Li Wenruo reached out a finger to probe the restriction binding him, and was shocked by the lightning restriction, causing him to tremble all over and immediately faint.
Xiao Yuhan frowned, wondering if this person was out of their mind. Why was he being so clumsy? Helpless for a moment, but not wanting to lift the restriction to wake him up, Xiao Yuhan turned to look at Bai Yao.
I don't know what's wrong with this girl today; she seems to have something on her mind.
"Disciple, what does this person want with you?"
Bai Yao was startled. Although she hid it well, Xiao Yuhan still noticed a hint of unease in her expression. However, the girl quickly and honestly said, "This person said he was your friend, Master. He didn't do anything. He just said he was asked to see me and check on me... In short, it was all very strange!"
Xiao Yuhan thought that if Li Wenruo was really related to "it", then he probably wanted to take Bai Yao away. But then she thought that this person did not make a move, but seemed to be talking to Bai Yao. She immediately had a bad feeling, after all, she was not the only one who knew how the plot was going.
He then reached out to stroke Bai Yao's head, but as soon as he did, the little girl's eyes seemed a bit confused, and her body trembled involuntarily.
Xiao Yuhan immediately realized something was wrong. This person must have said something to her, because no matter how Bai Yao tried to hide her emotions, the wariness that arose from her heart could not be concealed.
It must have been Li Wenruo who said something; it's probably "it" that's causing trouble, right? Xiao Yuhan thought for a moment and then asked, "Disciple, did he say something to you?"
Bai Yao remained silent for a moment, hesitating for a long time. She seemed more willing to believe Xiao Yuhan, and then asked softly, "Master... he said something to me, saying that my parents were killed by your own hands..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yuhan was stunned. In fact, he should have expected this day to come. He didn't know how to explain it. In the original story, she later saw the truth about him killing her parents through the Kunlun Mirror. Now, the emotional foundation was not solid, and the plot was triggered ahead of time, which caught him off guard.
But now that things have come to this, Xiao Yuhan can't just tell the truth. She thinks she should continue to keep it a secret, even if it means deceiving people.
Fortunately, after everything that has happened, Bai Yao undoubtedly trusts herself the most. So she sighed and said, "Silly girl, you believe what a stranger says?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Yao's expression softened considerably. She let out a long sigh of relief, then looked at Li Wenruo and said angrily, "You bad guy! How dare you sow discord between us, master and disciple! Master! Let me go beat him up!"
Xiao Yuhan frowned slightly. It was unpleasant to deceive a child like this, but the problem was that this girl trusted him so much.
However, upon further reflection, it could not be said that he killed her parents. At that time, the power within this little girl was so great that ordinary people could not withstand it. In the end, Bai Yao's parents did not die at his hands. It was just because of this damned system that Xiao Yuhan chose to cut off the couple's heads. Although it was very inhumane, it was his own choice, and there was nothing to say about it.
He stopped Bai Yao, then carried the unconscious Li Wenruo in one hand, first taking Bai Yao to the Lotus Platform, briefly explaining the situation to his junior sister, and then taking Li Wenruo to the sect leader's villa.
