“Sir, Mo Bai is willing. I have already explained the whole story to him,” Zheng Wu Hui said in a muffled voice.
Mo Bai stepped forward at the opportune moment and respectfully asked, "Miss Bai, where exactly should these lanterns of the Four Divine Beasts be hung?"
"The center of Ningcheng is fine," Bai Qingqing said.
Mo Bai thought for a moment and said, "The Wangcheng Tower is built right in the center of Ningcheng, so I'll hang the lanterns of the Four Divine Beasts up there now."
"Thank you for your trouble, Lord Mo." Bai Qingqing nodded and handed over the lantern.
Mo Bai's hands trembled with excitement.
To have been able to touch such a divine item in my lifetime, even if I were to die right now, it would be worth it.
Fortunately, my good brother betrayed me back then, which is why I left my hometown and came to this remote place.
I never expected to find such great fortune here.
Thanks, my good brother.
"No trouble at all. This matter is all thanks to Miss Bai, otherwise countless people would have died or been injured." Mo Bai straightened his back, carrying the lantern.
It's as if I'm carrying the whole world in my hands.
That pride.
“The candles inside will only last for a week,” Bai Qingqing said. “If they haven’t been born within a week, contact Peak Master Zheng and ask me for another candle.”
"Yes, yes, yes." Mo Bai nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Miss Bai, I will keep a close eye on this matter."
After making his promise, he picked up his lantern and went out.
"Lord of the city, what are you doing carrying a lantern in broad daylight?" Cen Tian called out from afar.
"Look closely, that's no ordinary lantern." Meng Yi slapped Cen Tian hard on the back of the head, as if settling a personal score.
Because the other day, Cen Tian took advantage of him and flicked him hard on the head.
Cen Tian covered his head: "Let's fight?"
"What's all this commotion!" Mo Bai had already walked up to them and scolded, "This is a lantern made by Miss Bai herself, which can protect the entire Ning City."
A lantern was hung up for no reason, and it's such a powerful lantern at that.
There has to be some explanation.
"Protection" is the most suitable option, and it's also less likely to arouse suspicion.
What he didn't know was that the lantern did indeed have the effect of "protection".
Even without a candle inside, this lantern, hanging high, can still protect the entire Ningcheng from evil spirits.
"That's amazing!" Cen Tian's eyes widened.
"Miss Bai's skills are truly impressive!" Meng Yi whispered, then asked, "City Lord, where should this lantern be placed?"
“Wangcheng Tower,” Mo Bai said.
"This humble general will accompany you, General, and lend a hand," Meng Yi hurriedly said.
“Me too, me too,” Cen Tian hurriedly said.
After Mo Bai left, Bai Qingqing glanced at Jiao Nu and Apei.
The two couldn't help but flinch.
I was filled with anxiety.
"My lord, I am willing to submit." Jiao Nu couldn't contain herself and said impatiently, "I am willing to serve you like a slave, even unto death."
Upon hearing this, Apei hurriedly replied, "My lord, I am also willing to submit. All of this was instigated by Han Weixian."
This wasn't betrayal, but rather... a wise bird chooses its tree to perch on.
Bai Qingqing glanced at the two of them: "Even if the Heavenly God Token wasn't your doing, you personally killed those people in the enforcement team."
"When I first awakened, I couldn't control my power, which is why I killed someone by mistake," Jiao Nu explained, her head bowed.
A layer of cold sweat had already soaked his forehead.
In her eyes, everyone in this world is an ant, and killing a few is no big deal.
Moreover, with the Heavenly God's Token, there's no need to bear any karmic burden.
But now, she regrets it.
If she had known that person was in this world, she would have rather stabbed herself than kill anyone.
"I don't like listening to people make excuses," Bai Qingqing said calmly.
Jiao Nu's body trembled.
"My lord, I was wrong. I shouldn't have killed him, and I shouldn't have tried to justify myself. Please give me a chance to make amends."
"If you can bring the dead back to life, then I'm willing to give you a chance to change," Bai Qingqing said, looking up at Jiao Nu, each word distinct.
Jiao Nu's face immediately turned deathly pale.
Even her lips were completely bloodless.
Cold sweat rolled down his face, drop by drop.
His eyes were filled with terror.
He opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.
Even if she awakens all her divine power, even if she advances to the level of a half-step celestial god, she still cannot bring people back to life.
Only a celestial being could expend their own essence to bring someone back to life.
Moreover, the cost is enormous.
"Now, you can begin." Bai Qingqing's voice was very soft, but to Jiao Nu, it was like a thunderclap.
The shock caused his blood and qi to surge.
Then, the cold seeped into my bones, and my teeth chattered incessantly.
"I...I can't do it." Jiao Nu pursed her lips, her voice so soft it was barely audible, even less than the sound of her teeth chattering.
Apei also shrank back, fear swirling in his heart.
Having cultivated for so many years, he never imagined he would be defeated in a lowly world.
“I gave you a chance,” Bai Qingqing said.
"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life!" The maid was tied too tightly to kneel down, so she could only nod her head desperately.
If the reincarnated body is killed like this, the original body will be severely injured, and there is even a chance of death.
If that person were to do it personally, the original body would definitely die.
She didn't want to die.
Apei followed suit and desperately begged for mercy.
"Peak Master Niu, you shall send them on their way." Bai Qingqing turned around, hands behind her back, exuding an air of superiority.
She wanted to do it herself.
However, the three opportunities to utilize the system's power today have already been used up.
They were all used to make lanterns.
She has only cultivated the Heavenly Origin Technique to level thirty-five.
They don't have much ability yet.
But since Peak Master Niu has already advanced to the Immortal Realm, killing two half-step Immortal Realm people should be no problem for him.
“Okay.” Niu Shanming nodded, without suspecting anything.
They were even filled with gratitude.
After all, the chances of killing a half-step immortal are not many.
He knew all the others well, either because their cultivation level was too low or because they were all from the Star Moon Sect.
The master entrusted him with this task, and he was determined to complete it perfectly.
Niu Shanming unleashed the Sea-Turning Seal.
Seeing this, Jiao Nu breathed a sigh of relief, but continued to beg for mercy.
However, since he is only at the Immortal Realm, although his physical body will suffer a backlash, it shouldn't cause him too much harm.
Is that gentleman planning to spare them and then put on a show for others?
Seeing Bai Qingqing frown, Wukong immediately waved his little paw, and Jiao Nu and Apei were once again silenced.
The previous time, it automatically became invalid because Bai Qingqing asked the question.
"Peak Master Niu, although your Sea-Turning Seal is powerful, it cannot guarantee that you will kill their true forms 100%," Nan Sheng suddenly transmitted his voice.
"What do you mean?" Niu Shanming was taken aback.
"They are protected by the celestial token. If their reincarnated body dies, their original body will be severely injured, but they will not necessarily die."
"In other words, they will return to their original world."
Niu Shanming looked at Yun Zhan.
He trusted Yun Zhan more than Nan Sheng.
“He’s right.” Yun Zhan nodded slightly and transmitted his voice, “However, you can use the teaching stick that Miss Bai uses for teaching.”
