“Who is it!?”
Bai Hao suddenly stepped back, his hand immediately resting on the hilt of his sword, ready to draw it at any moment.
The man was so frightened that he stumbled backward and fell to the ground.
Bai Hao then realized that it was a woman, no more than twenty years old, her delicate face filled with panic.
Who are you?
The woman recognized Bai Hao's face, and her expression gradually changed from fear to surprise. She said, "Senior Brother Bai, I am from Lengyue Palace."
"From Lengyue Palace?" Upon hearing this guy's words, Bai Hao looked him over carefully again and realized that she did look somewhat familiar, and was also wearing the clothes of a Lengyue Palace disciple.
After confirming that he was a disciple of Lengyue Palace, Bai Hao relaxed his guard, lowered his hand from the hilt of his sword, and asked, "Are you alone? Is there anyone else?"
"Yes, I'm with several of my senior sisters, but several of them are injured, so we need to go out to find the Saint Luo Fruit to heal them," the woman said, her head bowed.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Dongfang Lian, you can just call me Xiao Lian, senior brother," Dongfang Lian said quickly.
Bai Hao nodded. "Didn't you want the Saint Luo Fruit? Then hurry up and pick all these Saint Luo Fruits, and then take me to find your other senior sisters."
Although the relationship between Luohai Sect and Lengyue Palace is not good, Bai Hao is still willing to put aside his prejudices and help each other in this kind of place. After all, more people mean more hands, and more people make things easier.
"good."
Dongfang Lian nodded, and the two of them began to pick all the Saint Luo Fruits from the tree, about two or three hundred of them, and packed them all up.
"Senior brother, please follow me." After putting away the Saint Luo Fruit, Dongfang Lian began to lead the way.
Bai Hao followed.
The two traversed a rather dense jungle and finally arrived at a cliff. Dongfang Lian pulled aside a vine on the cliff, revealing a cave behind it.
"Brother, come in."
The cave was dimly lit and quite spacious. Several disciples of the Cold Moon Palace sat on the rocks, while two of them lay on a stone platform, their breaths weak, their faces pale, and they were unconscious.
Hearing the commotion outside the cave, the others immediately turned around and saw Dongfang Lian return, followed by a man.
"Bai Hao?!" Upon seeing the man behind Dongfang Lian, they quickly recognized Bai Hao's identity. One of the aloof and proud women was surprised, and her face turned cold.
She is Fang Yun, the senior disciple of Lengyue Palace.
"Senior Sister Fang Yun, it's been a long time." Bai Hao greeted her with a smile.
Not all the Cold Moon Palace disciples were in the cave; including Dongfang Lian, there were only five, half of them were missing.
However, it's still better than Bai Hao being all alone.
"What are you doing here? Xiao Lian, who told you to bring him back?" Fang Yun didn't give Bai Hao a friendly look, her face cold. She perfectly inherited the Cold Moon Palace's style of hating the Falling Sea Sect.
"I ran into Senior Brother Bai outside, and it was thanks to him that I found the Saint Luo Fruit..." Dongfang Lian said weakly, taking out the bag of Saint Luo Fruit from her bosom.
"Saint-Lo fruit?!"
Upon hearing these three words, even Fang Yun couldn't help but show surprise on her face, and then she snatched the bag from Dongfang Lian's hand.
After opening the bag and confirming that it was indeed a Sacred Fruit, Fang Yun quickly grabbed a small handful and placed it in front of the two unconscious disciples on the stone platform, carefully feeding it to them.
After eating the Saint Luo Fruit, the two men's breathing improved significantly, gradually returning to normal.
Bai Hao then noticed their situation, "What's wrong with them?"
"It's none of your business." Fang Yun glanced at him coldly.
“Senior Sister Fang Yun, there’s no need to be so angry. I’m sure you all know that our situation has changed. This isn’t the Divine Radiance Continent anymore. If we want to go back, we need to work together,” Bai Hao said with a smile.
He didn't care about Fang Yun's attitude; instead, he was magnanimous.
Ultimately, their choice is up to them.
"Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother Bai, but you don't need to worry. We can handle it ourselves," Fang Yun said indifferently.
The atmosphere gradually turned sour.
Dongfang Lian was caught in the middle and also in a difficult position.
She was the one who brought Bai Hao back, and now Fang Yun's attitude has left her at a loss for what to do.
"Since Senior Sister Fang Yun has said so, then I won't disturb you any longer. See you again if fate allows." With a wave of his hand, Bai Hao didn't intend to linger and turned to walk out of the cave.
"Senior Brother Bai..." Dongfang Lian hesitated, ultimately unsure how to persuade Bai Hao to stay.
Just then, the two people lying on the stone bed cried out in pain, writhing their bodies as if something was binding them.
"It hurts so much...it's so painful!"
Their voices gradually became hoarse, and wisps of black energy emanated from their bodies.
"Are you alright?" Another disciple next to Fang Yao quickly stepped forward to check what had happened.
But the two men suddenly sprang into action, sending the man who had come forward to check flying with a single palm strike. The man crashed heavily into the stone wall, vomited, and fell unconscious.
"Xiao Qi!"
Fang Yun was greatly surprised.
The two men had already stood up, their bodies radiating a dark aura of humanity, their eyes slightly vacant, their expressions ferocious; they were no longer normal people.
Seeing this, Fang Yun quickly stepped back and asked warily, "How are you two?"
There was no answer. Seeing their reaction, Bai Hao almost immediately realized what was going on.
"They were injured by souls leaving their bodies?!"
At this moment, the two of them had clearly lost their humanity and had almost become souls separated from their bodies. Just like the Yaoyue Sect member that Bai Hao had encountered in the square who had lost his humanity, these two people had also lost their humanity and had become souls separated from their bodies!
"They're beyond saving. Let's kill them." With a growing seriousness in his eyes, Bai Hao placed his hand on the hilt of his sword. Qian Jing had already been half-drawn from the blade.
"They are my junior sisters, I can't kill them!" Fang Yun roared, her eyes bloodshot.
Dongfang Lian was quite frightened and quickly helped the person who had been knocked unconscious to the back, while the two disciples who had lost their humanity were approaching Fang Yun step by step.
"Xiaoqing, Ayue, it's your senior sister! Wake up!" Fang Yun gripped her sword tightly, her hands trembling, and shouted at them unwillingly, hoping they would wake up in time.
Having lost their humanity, they could no longer understand anything and lunged at Fang Yun with ferocious expressions.
Clang!
Bai Hao's Thousand Scenes Sword was instantly unsheathed.
At this moment, Fang Yun had no choice but to harden her heart. The sword in her hand flashed and turned into a cold light, slashing down fiercely in front of the two people.
A sword strikes down, accompanied by tears.
No blood...
