Chapter 163
"Duan Tianyi! Shameless! Scoundrel!"
Baili Han remained silent. Telling the Supreme Elder the truth was enough; there was no need for him to embellish the story. Doing so would only create unnecessary complications and give the Supreme Elder a bad impression, which would be counterproductive.
Even though he wished he could kill Duan Tianyi immediately.
The Supreme Elder was so angry he almost lost control and tore through the void to grab Duan Tianyi and strangle him!
How dare he betray Xiao Axin?
"Back then, I clearly told him about Xiao A Xin's physical condition. He himself said he didn't mind, was willing to sign a Daoist partner contract with Xiao A Xin, and swore he would never betray her. Has he eaten his own vow now? What a heartless bastard!"
The Supreme Elder was so angry that he could no longer maintain his dignified and otherworldly demeanor and started swearing.
The reason he believed Baili Han's words so readily was twofold: firstly, Baili Han had no reason to lie about such a thing; secondly, if Duan Tianyi wasn't guilty, why would he keep using magic treasures to conceal his spiritual body?
In the past, the Supreme Elder knew that he possessed a magical artifact to conceal his spiritual body, but he assumed that he was just being cautious and afraid of being recognized and causing trouble when he traveled outside.
Now... haha, it turns out they were just feeling guilty!
"Good job, Duan Tianyi!"
The Supreme Elder no longer believed that Duan Tianyi needed saving. It wouldn't be too much to throw that filthy thing into the Abyss of Evil Spirits, so how could he possibly leave it to his precious great-granddaughter?
only……
The Supreme Elder's face was grim. "Xiao Han, this is a matter between you and me. Don't spread it around for now, especially don't let Xiao A Xin know."
Baili Han's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied with a "Yes".
As expected, the young master's wife's illness was related to Duan Tianyi.
Or perhaps, Duan Tianyi's presence, and that Daoist partner contract, could temporarily stabilize her condition.
It seems we can't kill that good-for-nothing for now.
Duan Tianyi must live until he finds a way to cure his junior master's wife.
Of course, whether or not he lives, and how he lives, depends on Baili Han's mood.
However, before that, we need to make the junior mistress completely disillusioned with that fool and have no feelings for him whatsoever.
The young mistress can only think of him!
The Supreme Elder, unaware that the seemingly pure and upright young man before him was eyeing his precious little cabbage with predatory intent, asked, "You've been honing your mental fortitude in the Sword Tomb this time. You're almost at the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, aren't you?"
Baili Han nodded: "Yes."
The Supreme Elder greatly appreciated the young man's composure and said, "It's not appropriate to suppress your cultivation all the time. Let him form his core first."
Baili Han had the same idea, and luckily Yunhai Peak had a special place for undergoing tribulation lightning, so the Supreme Elder let him go there directly.
Generally speaking, which cultivator doesn't make various preparations before undergoing a tribulation of lightning, and only carefully undergo the tribulation when the time is right?
But both of them regarded passing the Golden Core Tribulation as simply as drinking a glass of water.
One of them had such a high level of cultivation that he didn't take the Golden Core Tribulation seriously at all.
He dared to venture into a sword tomb fraught with danger at every turn, so what was a Golden Core tribulation?
Wen Xin, who was startled by the sudden thunderbolt from the sky, was both anxious and angry when she learned that her little apprentice had gone to undergo the tribulation of lightning without saying a word.
"Wasn't he and his great-grandfather going to see Sect Master Xuanming? How come he's suddenly undergoing tribulation?"
Lin Zhenjun was also completely bewildered.
However, he stopped Wen Xin, saying, "Miss, with Master here, Young Master will be fine. The tribulation is dangerous, you must not get close."
Wen Xin didn't return to Peach Blossom Peak first. She originally wanted to wait for Baili Han to come together, but who knew he would pull this stunt on her again.
Her worries were genuine!
It wasn't that she thought Baili Han couldn't survive the Golden Core Tribulation, but rather that he seemed to have forgotten his identity as a demon seed.
Lightning tribulation has always been the nemesis of all evil spirits. Although demons, once they reach a certain level of cultivation, are not afraid of lightning.
But isn't he still an undeveloped little demon seed? (Bai Li Han: Little? Hmm?)
If the lightning tribulation were to unleash the demonic energy from his body, and his great-grandfather were to strike him with a palm strike as well, that would be quite a sight!
Wen Xin sighed, never expecting the villain to be so...unreliable!
What worried Wen Xin the most was the terrifying, dark thunderclouds in the sky. The purple lightning bolts, thicker than a person's arm, were absolutely frightening.
Is this really the Golden Core Tribulation?
Did Heaven send the wrong tribulation lightning, or was it deliberately trying to kill Baili Han?
"How could the young master's Golden Core tribulation be so terrifying?"
Lin Zhenjun also frowned, looking incredulous.
Anyone who didn't know better would think this lightning tribulation was a Nascent Soul stage breakthrough!
Even if sword cultivators are more bloodthirsty and their tribulations are more terrifying than those of ordinary cultivators, it's still impossible for a Golden Core cultivator to have such a large-scale operation!
Lin Zhenjun's cultivation was close to the Mahayana stage, and he could vaguely sense the Heavenly Dao rules within the lightning tribulation.
The message this lightning tribulation sent him was: it wasn't there to help Baili Han overcome his tribulation, but to strike him to death!
Lin Zhenjun: "..."
Is it really that ruthless?
Young Master Baili has never done anything heinous!
For the Supreme Elder to keep Baili Han by Wen Xin's side, he must have thoroughly investigated Baili Han's background and history.
Knowing that he had come from the mortal realm through countless hardships and struggles, he naturally had blood on his hands, but it was always the other party who tried to kill him first, and he had no choice but to fight back.
This is nothing; that's just how the world is. Even Buddhist practitioners wouldn't dare say they've never had any blood on their hands.
That's why the Supreme Elder and Lin Zhenjun couldn't understand why the lightning tribulation was so harsh on Baili Han.
"Could it be that the Buddha's relics brought him back to life and altered his physical condition?"
Wen Xin had already arrived at the Supreme Elder's side, biting her lip and saying worriedly.
Yes, we absolutely cannot let Great-Grandpa doubt Baili Han's identity!
The Supreme Elder set up a spiritual array around them to prevent the lightning tribulation from affecting or frightening his delicate great-granddaughter.
Hearing this, he frowned. "That's also possible. If last time was his death calamity, and he survived and even obtained a great opportunity, that would be defying fate. It's normal that Heaven wouldn't tolerate it."
"However, if he can survive this tribulation, he will surely rise to the top of the immortal path and become unstoppable."
The Supreme Elder once again marveled at Baili Han's extraordinary talent, noting that even the Heavenly Dao was taking notice of him.
A demon seed reincarnated from a demon god, a future great demon king—how could Heaven not take notice?
Wen Xin resisted the urge to wipe her sweat, feeling particularly guilty and ashamed.
It wasn't that she intentionally wanted to keep it from her great-grandfather.
Rather, the Supreme Elder is the leader of the righteous path, and he adheres to the concept of the prestigious sects that have existed for thousands of years, where immortals and demons are not tolerated.
If Baili Han were an ordinary demon, the Supreme Elder might have tolerated his survival.
But he happens to be the future leader of the demon race, and given the Supreme Elder's emphasis on the cultivation world and the Qingxiao Sect, he will certainly not tolerate him.
Wen Xin didn't want her great-grandfather and him to fight each other again in this life.
