At the same time, Feng Heyun and Lu Shiqing on Zhenlin Peak looked nervously at the tribulation clouds in the sky, praying for Lingxiao Zhenren.
"Master, you must break through successfully!" Feng Heyun clasped his hands together.
Even though, because of all the things that had happened before, they were already on the verge of falling out with Lingxiao Zhenren.
But as disciples, they were naturally worried when their master was undergoing tribulation.
Of course, more importantly, with Lingxiao Zhenren's successful breakthrough, Chen Sangruo can return.
Even Luo Chu, who was far away in Floating Dream City, and Wen Xuan, who was imprisoned in the Discipline Tower, were keeping a close eye on the situation.
What they didn't know was that their master was plotting to kill them.
Bai Mumu stroked her nails, showing no sign of panic, but rather appearing relaxed and composed.
She looked up at the sky. "System, what's the situation with my master right now? Shouldn't it be time?"
[Reporting to the host, True Person Lingxiao has completely lost control.]
[The present moment is the perfect time for you to go and complete the mission.]
"Okay." Bai Mumu's nonchalant expression vanished, replaced by a playful smile. "Teleport me there immediately."
She was certain that Shen Daochen and the other elders were too preoccupied with their own problems to attend to anything else.
Naturally, no one would notice when she appeared.
On the round platform, thunderbolts struck Ling Xiaozhen, but he remained completely unaware and showed no reaction.
The black mist emanating from his body almost completely obscured his flames.
He flicked his sleeve, and several elders directly in front of him were instantly sent flying off the platform, vomiting blood and collapsing to the ground unconscious.
The remaining elders were in complete chaos, shouting, "Master Lingxiao has fallen to demonic possession! Run! Run!"
Shen Daochen's mind went blank. His junior brother, the most outstanding cultivator in the cultivation world, had truly fallen into demonic possession?
Wasn't he about to wake him up? How did it suddenly turn out like this?
Shen Daochen found it hard to accept.
What should Feiyun Sect do? Shen Sangri hasn't returned yet!
It's over, it's all over.
For a moment, he felt utterly hopeless.
As Shen Daochen was still pondering why this was happening, he felt as if something terrifying had locked onto him.
The feeling of being prey sent a chill down his spine.
He hurriedly came to his senses and met the gaze of Lingxiao Zhenren, who was filled with murderous intent.
The other person's lips moved, and Shen Daochen felt a ringing in his ears, but he could clearly understand what he was saying.
"You deserve to die, I will kill you!"
As the last word was uttered, Master Lingxiao arrived.
He held a powerful attack in his hand, determined to take his life personally.
Shen Daochen's legs felt like lead; he wanted to run, but could only stand there, frozen in place, watching Lingxiao Zhenren attack him.
Even if he ran, he couldn't escape the pursuit of the Fallen Demon Lingxiao Zhenren, and he could feel how intense Lingxiao Zhenren's killing intent was towards him.
His eyes were fixed on the front, as if his life was about to end here.
Unfortunately, he still had many things to do, including not yet recognizing Shen Sangruo as his daughter.
"Master, no!"
Just as Shen Daochen had resigned himself to his fate, a voice entered his ears.
Immediately afterward, a familiar figure came into his view.
Bai Mumu suddenly appeared out of nowhere and blocked the attack for him. Her body flew out in Shen Daochen's eyes like a kite with a broken string.
"Mu Mu!"
Shen Daochen screamed, his voice filled with pain and despair.
No matter how much influence Bai Mumu had on the Flying Cloud Sect, it was now completely forgotten in Shen Daochen's mind.
All he wants now is for his biological daughter to survive.
But how could Bai Mumu, whose cultivation was only at the Qi Refining stage, withstand Lingxiao Zhenren's full-force attack?
"Why did you shield me from it! My daughter, my daughter!"
He would rather he were dead!
Shen Daochen's eyes were red and his gaze was filled with sorrow. He hurriedly headed towards the direction where Bai Mumu had fallen.
To his surprise, Bai Mumu was still alive!
“Father… Mu Mu is alright.” She struggled to sit up, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth. “It’s just that the Listening to Cold Pearl that Father gave Mu Mu is broken.”
It wasn't just broken; the Listening Cold Pearl in her hand had turned into a pile of dust.
Hearing that Han Zhu had blocked most of the attacks for her, and with the system also around, she hadn't actually suffered any serious injuries.
"It's good that you're alive, it's good that you're alive. Don't do such a foolish thing again!" Shen Daochen hugged Bai Mumu as if he were holding a treasure that he had lost and found again.
[Ding—Shen Daochen's favorability +10, current favorability: 74.]
However, he quickly realized something and immediately let go of her. "Run, Mu Mu, run!"
"Your master has fallen to demonic possession. He will kill you. Father is holding him back, but you must run!"
He remembered that Master Lingxiao had said he would kill everyone who had hurt Shen Sangruo.
"Run as far away as possible. Come back after the Myriad Spirits Palace has dealt with this matter. If your father is gone, you must find your sister and bring her back. Don't let her wander in another sect, understand?"
Shen Daochen spoke quickly, as if he were making his final arrangements.
Bai Mumu never expected that at this moment, Shen Daochen was still thinking about Shen Sangruo, and even wanted her to go and find Shen Sangruo.
Suppressing her anger, she grabbed Shen Daochen's arm. "No, Father, I won't leave! I want to save Master!"
“Master hasn’t completely fallen into demonic ways yet, there’s still a chance. Let’s not give up on Master, Father.”
During the time they were talking, Master Lingxiao had already severely injured all the other elders, leaving them unconscious.
To Master Lingxiao, everyone here deserves to die.
"But your master..." Shen Daochen shook his head helplessly, "You should leave quickly, it's too late!"
"Father, believe me. I have a way. I will definitely be able to awaken Master. I want us all to get out of here alive." Bai Mumu's voice was unusually firm.
A feeling of emotion welled up in Shen Daochen's heart.
[Ding—Shen Daochen's favorability +10, current favorability: 84.]
At this point, it's likely that the two of them have no way to escape.
"Father will listen to you."
"When I learned that my master was about to break through, I began to read ancient books in search of ways to deal with the tribulation of inner demons."
As Bai Mumu spoke, she walked towards Lingxiao Zhenren, “I finally found a method in an ancient book that can be used to awaken those who have just fallen into demonic possession through a soul sacrifice.”
Shen Daochen seemed to know what she was about to say and hurriedly stopped her, "Mu Mu, you mustn't!"
But Bai Mumu's voice still drowned out his, "My attribute is ice and snow, and my power is pure. With my soul sacrificed, I will surely be able to save my master."
After saying that, she made a hand seal and quickly released her divine soul power, coating her body with a layer of cold blue light.
His face was visibly pale.
Lingxiao Zhenren's eyes were filled with ferocity, his reason was overwhelmed by killing intent, and seeing Bai Mumu like this, he only wanted to kill her.
He attacked Bai Mumu, but Shen Daochen rushed forward like a madman, gathering his spiritual power to fight against him.
But soon, he and Bai Mumu were both knocked away.
Ignoring all this, Bai Mumu stood up and continued her soul sacrifice.
