Xiao Yuhan carefully observed the tiger demon and found that it was only at the level of a newly entered Nascent Soul Realm. Knowing that the two girls were no match for it, he struck and severely injured it. The tiger demon fell from mid-air and crashed into the temple. Feeling that it would no longer pose a threat to the two girls, Xiao Yuhan turned to the two girls and said, "Yao'er, you and Feng Xi go and capture this monster!"
Bai Yao nodded and rushed into the temple, but the little girl Feng Xi remained unmoved. Xiao Yuhan then noticed that she had been squatting in front of the female demon trapped by the sword formation for some time, and her expression was a little strange.
The female demon had a ferocious face, and her white clothes were stained with the blood of countless innocent people. Feng Xi squatted in front of the female demon, seemingly observing something carefully. Her expression became increasingly strange, and her emotions gradually became very agitated.
Xiao Yuhan had been watching Bai Yao's battle closely. He then realized that Bai Yao's strength was already considerable, but her fighting style was rather conventional and lacked agility. Therefore, he did not interrupt her, but simply said, "Yao'er, find a way to catch him yourself! Don't expect your master to help you!"
He had personally set up life-saving mechanisms in the necklace and bracelet he had bought for Bai Yao, which would be triggered if she encountered danger, so he wasn't worried. Then Xiao Yuhan came to the female demon's side.
After observing for a while, Xiao Yuhan discovered that this female demon seemed to have lost her own consciousness. She was more like a monster born from demonic power and resentment, with eyes full of killing intent and madness. Presumably, she was originally just a normal person who turned into a demon due to some other factors.
Even the Taoist mantra of calming the mind is not very effective against this kind of demon. Completely dispelling the demonic energy on her body will only kill her. Therefore, Xiao Yuhan held Junmo in his hand and prepared to end her life. As long as he cut off her head and brought it back, this mission would be considered complete.
But just as Xiao Yuhan was about to make a move, Feng Xi stopped him, "Senior... wait, she... she is not a demon."
Xiao Yuhan then noticed that the young girl Feng Xi had tears in her eyes and looked very flustered. All along the way, this girl had been acting as the team leader, firm, brave and decisive. Although she was a girl, she was not like most boys. When did she show such a flustered expression?
"You know her?"
"She is my mother..."
"Huh?" Xiao Yuhan found it unbelievable.
The silver-armored girl pointed to her clothes and said, "Her clothes have patterns unique to my Feng family. I noticed them just now and I can't be mistaken. I have been searching for my mother for many years since she suddenly disappeared ten years ago. Although she is now unrecognizable, her aura remains unchanged."
"Are you sure?" Xiao Yuhan asked.
"I'm sure! So... senior, could you please save her?"
Xiao Yuhan shook his head. "Judging from the demonic aura on her, she has completely transformed into a demon and can no longer turn back into a human. I can remove her resentment and demonic aura, but... she will die without demonic power, so I can't help you."
Feng Xi panicked slightly, "Is there really no other way?"
Xiao Yuhan was somewhat helpless. Although he still had doubts about Feng Xi's words, he could only say, "You have two choices. First, get rid of her, which would be a relief for her. Second, I will take action to eliminate the demonic power in her body. Perhaps... she can regain some of her sanity before she dies and see you one last time..."
The girl shook her head and immediately stood protectively in front of the banshee. "Senior! Wait... I believe there must be other ways..."
Xiao Yuhan did not hesitate, because if this female demon had simply turned into a demon without losing her mind, there might still be other ways, but now, there was no turning back.
For some reason, this woman lost her mind after turning into a demon.
Xiao Yuhan thought there was only one possibility: she had been forcibly turned into a demon by someone else, rather than by her own will.
But after searching for so many years, Feng Xi finally found her mother, only to be met with this scene. Of course, she wouldn't just stand by and watch Xiao Yuhan kill her mother.
Xiao Yuhan did not take action directly, which can be considered as giving the girl a chance to choose for herself.
Suddenly, a loud bang.
Both of them felt a terrifying aura coming from the temple. Xiao Yuhan was startled, his pupils dilated, and he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, because he felt that aura again, the aura hidden in Bai Yao's body.
Xiao Yuhan rushed into the temple with her sword in hand.
At this moment, Bai Yao stood in the courtyard holding her immortal sword, while the tiger demon lay on the ground, barely alive and severely injured.
The moment Xiao Yuhan entered the temple gate, Bai Yao turned around and gave him an unsettling smile, "We meet again..."
A sense of fear arose in Xiao Yuhan's heart. He didn't know why the woman inside Bai Yao's body had awakened again.
The worst fears came true, so he gripped the sword in his hand even tighter.
However, this time she did not rush to attack Xiao Yuhan. Instead, she walked up to Xiao Yuhan and stood there for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.
Standing before him was clearly Bai Yao's body, yet Xiao Yuhan knew perfectly well that she was no longer his beloved little darling. His doubts deepened; what kind of being was she? Would she one day replace Bai Yao, making Bai Yao someone else?
Thinking of this, he felt increasingly uneasy.
This "Bai Yao" stood in front of Xiao Yuhan and remained silent for a long time before turning her head to look into the distance and saying softly, "Xi Liang Xue Luo, she's coming back."
"Her? Who is she?" Xiao Yuhan stood there, stunned.
However, Bai Yao stopped speaking. This time, she seemed to have no intention of killing Xiao Yuhan. Instead, she walked out of the temple and walked step by step to the golden skeleton under the tree. After a long silence, she suddenly reached out and grabbed the golden skeleton's throat. With a gentle force, the golden skeleton, which ordinary people could not approach, shattered.
Xiao Yuhan and Feng Xi behind them were stunned, but dared not say anything.
At this moment, the golden body slowly shattered and turned into ashes in a short while, and a golden relic appeared in Bai Yao's hand.
At this moment, she glanced back at Xiao Yuhan, then transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky. Xiao Yuhan hurriedly flew after her. She was very fast, and even with Xiao Yuhan's cultivation level, he could barely catch up. Moreover, it was clear that she was waiting for him.
After a long time, the two stopped on a mountaintop. Xiao Yuhan was a little worried and cautiously approached her.
Bai Yao faced west, her eyes cold and sharp, seemingly deep in thought. After a long while, she finally spoke, "You know I can kill you."
Xiao Yuhan was very relieved that this time she was willing to communicate with him, unlike before when she would kill him without explanation. So he walked to her side and said, "I know you can kill me easily, but it's good that you don't seem to want to kill me today. So... who exactly are you?"
