The ground was littered with the corpses of Xuehan Blade Sect disciples, and the ghostly aura emanating from within the sect prompted Nangong Ling'er to immediately order all disciples to prepare for battle.
The previous life-or-death battle had just ended, and now the Snowfrost Blade Sect was in this state again, which many disciples of the Snowfrost Blade Sect could not accept.
Because within the sect, there are still their families and children. These people went deep into the Northern Plains to fight, all for the sake of creating a future for their loved ones and friends. The current tragic situation is something they can no longer bear.
The situation immediately spiraled out of control, with the disciples of the Snow Cold Blade Sect disobeying orders and storming into the sect's territory.
Nangong Ling'er was a little worried and turned to look at Bai Yao, "Yao'er, no matter what happens after this, you must not leave your master's side! I will take some people in to check the situation first. You wait outside. If I don't give a signal in half an hour, you come in. If I give a signal with fireworks, you must escape quickly and go back to the Heavenly Sword Sect!"
Bai Yao nodded. She knew her junior uncle's concerns, so she found a relatively safe place, put Xiao Yuhan down, and took out a handkerchief to wipe Xiao Yuhan's face with water.
At this moment, Xiao Yuhan's eyes were open, his gaze unfocused. He sat motionless in the same spot, and no matter what Bai Yao did, he did not react. He was just still breathing and had a pulse, so he was not dead.
Seeing Xiao Yuhan's appearance, Bai Yao felt even more distressed. She gently reached out and stroked Xiao Yuhan's white hair, her eyes reddening once again. However, she said nothing, and after washing Xiao Yuhan, she sat down next to her master.
At this moment, everything seemed peaceful and serene, but no one knew what kind of torment this fifteen-year-old girl was going through inside.
A sense of powerlessness welled up inside her, and a nameless hatred arose within her. She wanted to do something, but despite possessing immense power, she had no idea what to do.
Ai Yue, who was beside her, watched this scene without saying anything, because she knew Bai Yao's feelings for this master, and she also knew that the relationship between the two was never like that of an ordinary master and disciple.
She wanted to comfort her friend, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything.
Bai Yao looked at Ai Yue, who seemed hesitant to speak, and said softly, "Senior sister, you don't need to be like this. Yao'er isn't as fragile as you think. Since returning from the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall, I'm no longer the naive little girl I used to be. At least you can still treat me as a friend and junior sister, and I'm already very happy."
Ai Yue thought for a moment, and whether intentionally or unintentionally, she turned her head and glanced at the disciples of the immortal sect who had stayed behind not far away. They were pointing and commenting on the red lines that were showing on Bai Yao's chin from time to time, and they were also deliberately keeping a certain distance from Bai Yao.
If you listen carefully, most of the conversations are about whether Bai Yao is a spy for the demon race, and things like that.
“Junior sister, you don’t need to pay attention to those people. Senior sister believes in you. Although… the demonic power within you is indeed quite terrifying, I know you are my little Yao Yao, and you won’t hurt me, so…”
Bai Yao smiled bitterly, "Senior sister, I don't have many friends. Sister Feng Xi is one, she died outside the Demon-Suppressing Great Wall to save me, and you are another. The people I care about are just a few. Master, Junior Uncle, as long as you believe in me, I'm happy. I don't care at all what others think of me..."
Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, tugging at the apron she had specially prepared around her neck, as if trying to cover the red markings on her body as much as possible.
Seeing this, Ai Yue knew that the little girl was putting on a brave face. Even if she could say that she didn't care at all, when everyone looked at you with strange eyes and treated you as an outsider, could you really not care?
Thinking of this, Ai Yue felt a surge of inexplicable anger. She turned to look at the group of people who were whispering and discussing Bai Yao, and said angrily, "You gossipy little people, if you have the ability, go in and help investigate. If it weren't for Junior Sister Bai Yao taking action to repel that demonic dragon, we would all be dead there. If I hear you talking badly about my junior sister behind her back again, I'll knock your teeth out!"
Upon hearing this, a man in the crowd stood up and said, "Let's talk about our own things. Who...who said anything bad about your junior sister? If you insist on taking it personally, there's nothing we can do! Also...don't think that just because you come from a big sect like the Heavenly Sword Sect, you can bully us. We are all disciples of the Dao Alliance now. If this senior sister is deliberately causing trouble, then I will definitely have Elder Nangong come and judge the matter later!"
"Judging? Do you think you're right? Clearly..." Ai Yue wanted to say something, but Bai Yao tugged at her skirt. "Senior sister, forget it. Yao'er has heard plenty of gossip since she was little. Just ignore them."
Unexpectedly, Ai Yue's attitude was unusually firm this time. "Little Yao Yao, not this time! No matter who it is, you can't accept being labeled a demon spy. If such words spread, others will really think that way! Once someone really thinks you are a demon, it will be a death sentence."
At this moment, Bai Yao murmured softly, "What if... what if I really have something to do with the demon race..."
Hearing this, Ai Yue was stunned. She quickly shook her head, then squatted down and placed her hands on Bai Yao's shoulders, saying with some emotion, "No! You are not a demon! Junior sister! You are Bai Yao! No matter who puts such a vicious name on you, you must not admit it! Never!"
As she spoke, Ai Yue stood up angrily and slowly walked towards the group of people. Unconsciously, the Immortal Sword Su Yue Liu Tian appeared in her hand. "Just now... who was slandering my junior sister?"
The group of people all stood up, looking at Ai Yue's aggressive appearance, and assumed defensive stances, but still said somewhat cowardly, "No...no one said that. Speaking of which, you Heavenly Sword Sect are just looking for trouble, aren't you? You think you're so great just because you're a big sect? Come and see, Heavenly Sword Sect disciples are bullying our Dao Alliance fellow practitioners. How can these people be worthy of being Heavenly Sword Sect disciples?"
