To Yi Mo's surprise, Bai Tianshui refused.
"They treated you like that, why would you still protect them?"
"So-called steadfastness means not being influenced by external things."
Yi Mo still remembers Bai Shui's eyes that day, like an ice peak standing in the snow, proudly standing and shining brightly even when the wind was raging and the snow was pouring down.
Yi Mo smiled wryly and let them go.
Even though Bai Shui and the others had gone far away, Yi Mo still hung on that jade flute, gazing at the misty mountain scenery in the distance.
The man riding a giant sword came up behind her.
"Just let them go like that? That's not like you."
Yi Mo smiled slightly, "The one who is guilty is the sect leader. Although Bai Tianshui is his granddaughter, she has nothing to do with him. As for the rest of them..." She curled her lips in a mocking smile, "They are not worth mentioning."
Yi Mo turned around and said, "My first time leading demonic cultivators to attack the immortal sect went so smoothly, and I have to thank you for that—Immortal Venerable Jinyun!"
Jinyun Immortal said in a calm tone, "If I said I would make things convenient for you, I will definitely make things convenient for you."
Yi Mo crossed her arms in front of her chest. "Those people from the Immortal Sect would never have imagined that their beloved Immortal Venerable Jinyun would do such a thing, would they? Not only did he not save them, but he dragged them into an endless abyss."
The Immortal Venerable Jinyun remained noncommittal.
Yi Mo tucked a strand of hair behind her ear with her hand. "But as you said, there's no point in these people living."
The Immortal Venerable Jinyun simply gazed into the distance without speaking.
The two stood side by side, the wind rustling.
"Jinyun, the Immortal Sect has been shattered by me this time, and I doubt it will ever recover. What are your plans now?" Yimo asked, tilting her head.
"Of course, I'll do what I need to do. As you said, the Immortal Sect is already at its last gasp, and the Demon Cave's victory is foreseeable. Once someone finishes this task, other thoughts will begin to surface, and my job is to stop him."
"Oh?" Yi Mo thought for a moment, then understood. She bowed slightly. "Then I wish the Immortal Venerable all his wishes come true!"
He Jinyun Immortal Venerable was right; someone had already beaten him to what he wanted to do.
Li Mingke and Luan Hua were facing off, the atmosphere tense, while He Xun hid behind a rock nearby.
"Long time no see, Mingke." Luan Hua greeted Li Mingke casually, as if chatting with an old friend.
Li Mingke pursed her lips, her eyes following his movements, her whole body tense.
"Don't be so nervous, it's just a few words."
Li Mingke spoke coldly, "This place is poor and simple. For the Demon Lord to condescend to come here in person, he must have something important to discuss. I will make way for the Demon Lord."
She didn't want to argue with Luan Hua. Although he was alone in front of her now, she couldn't be sure that his men were hiding in the shadows. She wasn't entirely confident that she could beat him in a fight, not to mention that she also had to protect He Xun.
"It is indeed something important."
Luan Hua watched as she cautiously surveyed her surroundings, seemingly searching for an escape route. He took a few large steps and stood in front of her, the two almost touching, with Li Mingke's chest only a hair's breadth away from his body.
Li Mingke immediately tried to back away.
But Luan Hua caught her with ease.
Where do you think you're going?
"Let go!" Li Mingke struggled. "Demon Lord, this is unreasonable!"
"What's the point of reasoning between us?" His hand rested on her shoulder, making Li Mingke feel as if a venomous tongue was extending towards her neck, slippery and dangerous.
"The Demon Cave will soon unify the world, and from then on, you and I will stand at the highest point in this world." His voice was seductive and ambiguous.
"I'm truly sorry, Demon Lord, but I have no desire to stand at the highest point." She leaned back, clearly expressing her refusal.
Just as the two were struggling, a figure gracefully landed.
"I was indeed a step too late."
