The most uneasy one was Han Xiong. He wouldn't let this woman leave so easily. Now that they had torn off all pretense of civility, if they met again in the future, without the protection of the Kunlun Immortal Sect's protective array, Han Xiong would naturally be no match for this white-haired woman.
Xiao Yuhan didn't want the woman to leave so easily, as he still wanted to get more information; otherwise, today's fight would have been for nothing.
Xiao Yuhan and Han Xiong exchanged a glance, and Qin Yuejiao behind them seemed to understand something as well. She gripped her immortal sword tighter and tighter. Everyone was extremely wary of the white-haired woman, fearing that she might still have some tricks up her sleeve. Therefore, they were all quite cautious in this final battle.
After successfully withstanding Xiao Yuhan's disintegration technique, the white-haired woman's condition was extremely unstable. Although she still had the strength to fight back, she would not risk making a move.
Xiao Yuhan and his group walked step by step toward the white-haired woman.
At this moment, a gentle breeze arose, and not a speck of snow remained on the pine trees not far behind the white-haired woman. A melodious sound of silver bells rang out.
The group suddenly heard a woman's voice and immediately stopped in their tracks.
"Two handsome young men, could you please spare her? Qianyu is the person I love most. I would be heartbroken if you killed her."
A woman in purple appeared atop the cedar tree. She sat there with her legs crossed, a string of silver bells hanging from her index finger, turning them gently.
The white-haired woman snorted, "If you keep spouting nonsense, I'll kill you first!"
The woman in purple smiled slightly, tilting her head to look at the white-haired woman. "Little Qianyu, how can you be so heartless? I came all this way to save you, and your indifference breaks my heart!"
The woman in white, known as Qianyu, gave a soft snort and stopped talking.
Xiao Yuhan knew it was her as soon as she heard the voice. It was Su Li, whom she had met once before. She was the one who had possessed Miao Xiaodie in the Southern Frontier.
"It's you again! As expected, you're all in cahoots. Brother Han, the person I'm looking for has appeared. Do you still have the strength to fight?" Xiao Yuhan said.
Su Li finally saw Xiao Yuhan's face clearly, and her expression changed immediately. She was stunned for a while, seemingly very surprised, and her eyes gradually became more and more profound. She seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly made a move, coming in front of Xiao Yuhan and striking out with a palm. Xiao Yuhan, who still had some strength left, was not injured by her sneak attack. On the contrary, Su Li was much weaker than expected, probably only close to the Void Returning Realm. Even though Xiao Yuhan had already released the Blood King Gu state, he could easily repel her.
After being repelled, the girl in purple stood there stunned and sneered, seemingly with a hint of disdain, "Just as I thought... I knew it was impossible for Xiao Yuhan to be here, I knew it was impossible for you to have the cultivation of the Dao Integration Realm, Xiao Yuhan! You and I are the same kind of people, aren't we?"
Xiao Yuhan had long known that "it" was a transmigrator like himself, and that "it" had not known it before. Now that Su Li had revealed this to him, he knew he could not admit it. If he did, or showed any behavior that could arouse suspicion, he might lose the initiative. At least it was not yet time for the two of them to confront each other directly.
Especially after meeting this great demon, Xiao Yuhan realized that the enemy's strength far exceeded his imagination. In order to avoid exposing his identity, he pretended to be calm and then, according to his understanding of Xiao Yuhan in the original work, he said in the tone of that hypocrite: "You demons and heretics, how could I be the same kind of person as you? Today, I will definitely rid the world of this scourge and prove the righteousness of my immortal sect!"
Too much talk leads to mistakes, so Xiao Yuhan didn't say much. As long as he acted similarly to the original story, that would be fine. Sure enough, the woman in purple looked a little hesitant.
Su Li was also unsure at this point, constantly scrutinizing Xiao Yuhan, thinking to herself, "Could I have misjudged him? Perhaps... it's because I changed too much of the plot, causing things to develop differently from the original story? Or... is he putting on an act for me?"
After thinking it over, Su Li didn't dwell on it too much. After what happened in the Southern Frontier, she had already decided to get rid of Xiao Yuhan. So, regardless of whether he was a transmigrator or not, at least on this point, Su Li wouldn't have any hesitation.
"Xiao Yuhan, do you remember what I said last time? We haven't settled our score yet, and you've walked right into my trap today!"
Xiao Yuhan wasn't sure if she still doubted his identity, but he knew one thing: as fellow time travelers, it would be very dangerous if their identities were exposed.
Not knowing what the opponent is thinking is inherently dangerous, so before that, Xiao Yuhan could only try to hide herself as much as possible.
However, Su Li seemed determined to kill him. Xiao Yuhan didn't know if this was because of his character in the original work or because of the grudge he had made last time.
After a moment's thought, he continued in the original tone, "Of course I remember, but there's nothing to say to a demon like you. It is the responsibility of us cultivators to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path!"
The woman in purple slapped her forehead, her brows furrowing as she muttered, "That tone really is that annoying Xiao Yuhan..."
A moment later, Su Li shook the silver bell in his hand. At that moment, a woman's corpse suddenly crawled out from under Bai Yuanzhou's thatched hut. She staggered to Su Li, her limbs stiffened as if from years of freezing. Su Li pointed a finger at the woman's forehead, "I borrow the power of your Heavenly Demon Abyss. You're doomed anyway, so do one last thing for me: stop them!"
After saying that, Su Li turned around, picked up the white-haired woman Qian Yu, and began to flee, leaving behind the words, "Xiao Yu Han! You must live well, or I will personally come to take your dog's life!"
Xiao Yuhan did not continue to pursue, because the female corpse that suddenly crawled out of the ice was extremely powerful. Although it was not as strong as the white-haired woman from before, it was not far behind.
So, watching the departing figure, he said, "Weren't you going to settle scores with me? Why are you running away?"
There was no response.
At this moment, Han Xiong stared at the female corpse in front of him and said, "This is Bai Yuanzhou's first wife. She became a demon disciple a long time ago and was trapped at the foot of Kunlun Mountain by Bai Yuanzhou using a secret method. She has been immortal for many years. Bai Yuanzhou's goal is to find her soul so that she can become the person she used to be."
Xiao Yuhan said with a hint of disdain, "Demon disciples? It seems this place is not only a den of demonic cultists, but also a den of demon disciples!"
"Xiao Dao has been in the Central Plains for a long time, so he naturally doesn't know. Our Kunlun Immortal Sect is not far from Xiliang. Demon disciples often appear in this area. However, because the Kunlun Immortal Sect has always guarded the West Pass, not many demon disciples can pass through here to reach the Central Plains."
Xiao Yuhan wanted to say something, but at this moment the female corpse attacked. It has to be said that this female corpse was quite powerful, but she was not as difficult to deal with as the white-haired woman from before. She was just enough to stop the group from pursuing them.
