"Phew~~"
Inside the Guiling Sword Sect, Bai Xiao slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He raised his palm, feeling the power surging within him.
"I can't believe it's been this long..."
"Indeed, the more divine authority there is, the more difficult it is to control."
Bai Xiao thought to himself.
Nearly half a month has passed since he and Pear Blossom Rain obtained the new power of the God of Desire. During this time, he has been in seclusion absorbing the power.
Both of them already possessed two abilities; what they absorbed this time was their third authority.
As the quantity increased, Bai Xiao could clearly feel that the difficulty of absorption was increasing.
The biggest problem is not absorption, but controlling the emotions of those who wield different powers so that they do not influence each other and ultimately turn one into a madman.
"It took so long to absorb just this. If I have to absorb more authority in the future, it will probably take several months."
"Are three powers already the limit...?"
He murmured to himself, looking down at his palms.
But if Bai Xiao knew that there was a monster like Yun Si Ning who had absorbed six or seven powers, I wonder what he would think.
Bai Xiao stood up and stepped out of his secluded cultivation area.
His spiritual sense scanned the area and he realized that Pear Blossom Rain had not yet emerged from seclusion.
"snort."
Bai Xiao chuckled, secretly pleased that he had absorbed the nutrients before the other party.
As he was thinking, he walked to the front hall.
Not long after, the white-robed cultivator walked in.
"Sect Leader."
He bowed respectfully.
"During my seclusion these past few days, has anything significant happened within the sect?"
Bai Xiao picked up the tea set in front of him, sipped the tea, and asked a question.
"Forehead……"
The man in white hesitated for a moment, and only spoke after Bai Xiao finished drinking the tea.
"Everything is normal inside the sect, but things haven't been peaceful outside these days."
"oh?"
Bai Xiao put down her teacup and gave him a questioning look.
"What's wrong with things?"
"Sect Master, do you still remember the Four Symbols Divine Sect that I mentioned before?"
"Hmm, I do recall. Didn't I tell you to chase those guys away?"
"I did as instructed, but I felt something was amiss, so I sent someone to investigate secretly."
"Does the sect leader know who killed the sect leaders of the Four Symbols Divine Sect?"
"How would I know? Stop keeping me in suspense."
"According to my investigation, the people who made the move in secret all came from Xinglong Pavilion."
"Xinglong Pavilion?"
Upon hearing the mention of Xinglong Pavilion, Bai Xiao's brows furrowed immediately.
"Hmph, it's them after all."
He slammed his hand on the table.
"They're just a bunch of scoundrels from the gutter."
Upon hearing Bai Xiao's words, the white-robed cultivator lowered his head, unsurprised by his sect leader's anger.
Guiling Sword Sect is one of the three major righteous sects in Zhongyuan Realm, and Xinglong Pavilion, as the largest underground organization in Zhongyuan Realm, has a particularly serious infiltration of these three sects.
Many years ago, Bai Xiao ordered a thorough investigation of the Xinglong Pavilion spies within the sect.
Even after all these years, Xinglong Pavilion still has many spies within the Guiling Sword Sect.
Bai Xiao had become somewhat numb to this; the traitors within Xinglong Pavilion seemed endless, and as soon as one was caught, a whole group would pop up.
So now, whenever Bai Xiao hears the name Xinglong Pavilion, he gets furious.
"These guys are just too much!"
He was cursing when he suddenly froze.
"Master Bai's reaction wasn't too bad. I thought you would only react when I got to your side."
A familiar voice came from behind him, and Bai Xiao suddenly turned his head to look, only to find Li Huayu walking slowly towards him.
"When did this guy come out of seclusion?!"
Bai Xiao was shocked. His spiritual sense had not detected Li Huayu's emergence from seclusion at all; the other party was standing right in front of him.
"wrong."
Bai Xiao suddenly paused, looking down at the white-robed cultivator standing below.
The other party seemed completely oblivious to the pear blossom rain, merely looking at their sect leader with a puzzled expression.
"Sect Leader, what's wrong?"
He was deeply puzzled by Bai Xiao's incredibly rich range of facial expressions.
"I tried out my new ability. I hope Master Bai doesn't mind."
Pear Blossom Rain said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiao instantly understood that it seemed Li Huayu had concealed herself through some kind of ability.
"It's alright, you can go now. I'll handle this."
Bai Xiao said to his subordinates.
"Yes, I'll take my leave."
After the other party left, Bai Xiao looked at Li Huayu with a solemn expression.
When did you come out of quarantine?
"Not long ago, just now."
Pear Blossom Rain shrugged.
"Then why didn't I sense that this is also one of your new abilities?"
Bai Xiao then asked.
This time, Pear Blossom Rain didn't answer, but instead smiled noncommittally.
Just as Bai Xiao was about to speak, the white-robed cultivator who had previously retreated returned.
"Why are you back again?"
Bai Xiao frowned and looked at the other person, only to find that he still hadn't noticed Li Huayu standing to the side.
"Sect Leader, there's... there's a new situation."
His expression was very strange.
"What is it? Don't bother me with trivial matters."
Bai Xiao said impatiently.
"Yes... um, Lin Youyou, the head of the Prison Wind Hall of Xinglong Pavilion, sent someone to deliver a message, saying that she wants to meet with you."
"What?"
"The head of Xinglong Pavilion?"
