On the Way Back to the Sect, Encountering Jin Ping'er!

On the Way Back to the Sect, Encountering Jin Ping'er!

Time passed!

Another half month went by.

Within Blood Drop Cave.

Bai Ye slowly opened his eyes, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"After half a month, I've finally neutralized the Seven-Tailed Centipede's poison."

With the poison dispelled, color returned to Bai Ye's face, and his entire body felt light.

"It seems I'll have to be more cautious in the future."

"No matter whether they belong to the Orthodox Path or the Demonic Cult, any sect that has endured for so long cannot be underestimated."

Just like Myriad Poisons Sect this time—the strength of Poison God was not to be taken lightly.

Bai Ye's expression turned slightly solemn.

Although he was quite strong, he had yet to rank among the world's very strongest. Before his cultivation reached its peak, it was better to lie low.

"Ding!"

"Detected that the host is within Blood Drop Cave. Would you like to sign in?"

At that moment, the mechanical voice of the sign-in system rang out.

Bai Ye did not hesitate. "Sign in!"

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Blood Drop Cave."

"Ding... Congratulations to the host for obtaining the reward: 'Three Talents Sword Formation.'"

Three Talents Sword Formation: A Daoist sword formation named after the Three Talents—Heaven, Earth, and Man. Three divine swords are positioned respectively at the places of Heaven, Earth, and Man, forming a terrifying sword formation. Once completed, this formation can double the user's strength.

Upon hearing the abilities of the Three Talents Sword Formation,

Bai Ye's narrowed eyes slowly widened, revealing a trace of surprise.

If he used the Three Talents Sword Formation, wouldn't that mean his strength could double?

This truly was a powerful formation!

Three divine swords—his Demon Suppressing Divine Sword, the Ancient Demon Sword, and the Dragon Slayer Sword—made exactly three.

They were perfect for setting up this so-called Three Talents Sword Formation!

This was truly double good fortune.

Not only had the Seven-Tailed Centipede's poison been cured, but he had also obtained a sword formation that could enhance his strength.

"My strength and injuries have fully recovered."

"I've also obtained the first volume of the Heavenly Book, along with the Joyful Union Bell and the Three Talents Sword Formation. This journey through the martial world has more or less come to an end."

Bai Ye came back to his senses and thought to himself.

After all, he had caused such havoc in Myriad Poisons Sect this time that he had thoroughly offended them.

For now, it would be best to return to Qingyun Sect and continue lying low.

Fortunately, he had used the Demonic Sword and disguised himself as Fan Xiong, a disciple of Myriad Poisons Sect. Otherwise, he really would have been in danger.

With that thought, Bai Ye did not hesitate and directly chose to return to Qingyun Sect.

His journey out of Blood Drop Cave went smoothly. He encountered neither the Black Water Mysterious Serpent nor the remnants of Blood Refining Hall, which finally calmed his itching desire for a fight.

Ten Thousand Bat Cave lay more than three thousand li away from Qingyun Sect.

It was not too far, but neither was it particularly close.

The nearest major city was Heyang City, the largest city within a hundred li. With a population of two or three hundred thousand, it was exceptionally prosperous.

Bai Ye entered Heyang City in his true appearance and inquired about the major events taking place across the world lately.

What surprised Bai Ye was that

nothing about Myriad Poisons Sect had spread outside. It seemed that Myriad Poisons Sect had deliberately concealed the matter.

After thinking it over, Bai Ye understood.

Although Myriad Poisons Sect had suffered great losses and wished they could cut him into a thousand pieces, they were not fools.

If other Demonic Cult forces or Orthodox Path forces learned that Myriad Poisons Sect had fallen into a weakened state, Myriad Poisons Sect would likely face the disaster of extermination.

Therefore, Myriad Poisons Sect could only investigate this matter in secret. They absolutely could not make a grand spectacle of it.

With that realization, Bai Ye's mood instantly brightened.

He rested for several days at a luxurious inn and indulged in a grand feast before finally feeling satisfied.

"This fish really is delicious!"

After eating and drinking his fill, Bai Ye praised it aloud.

"Esteemed guest, this is Mei Fish, produced at Hook Mountain a thousand li away. Naturally, its flavor is unmatched."

"If Dao Xuan of Qingyun Sect had not brought them from a thousand li away and introduced them into the Hong River on the shadowed side of Qingyun Mountain, it would be difficult to taste such a delicacy here."

Hearing Bai Ye's words, an inn attendant replied with a smile.

This was a high-class inn, and none of those dining here were ordinary people. Upon hearing this, the guests at the four or five occupied tables revealed looks of surprise.

"Gulp, gulp~!"

After taking a large swig of wine, Bai Ye's eyes gleamed.

So that was it!

"Dao Xuan of Qingyun Sect... Qingyun Sect's influence is indeed considerable. Its presence can even be felt here!"

Suddenly, an exquisite woman leaned out from one of the private rooms. Her gaze, carrying a faintly seductive smile, swept over the people in the inn before finally settling on Bai Ye.

Buzz~!

The woman wore goose-yellow robes, her fair skin as smooth as polished jade. Her breathtaking face was beyond comparison, especially those seductive eyes, which instantly caused everyone present to look utterly infatuated.

Bai Ye merely smiled at the beautiful woman, seemingly unaffected.

"I've long heard that Joyful Union Sect excels in enchantment arts. Seeing you today, it seems your mastery of such arts runs extraordinarily deep."

"My admiration! My admiration!"

Seeing that Bai Ye remained as composed as ever, a trace of surprise appeared on Jin Ping'er's exquisite face. Then, with a flash of her figure, her slender jade-like legs landed atop the table before Bai Ye as she looked at him seductively.

"As expected of someone from Qingyun Sect, your strength is formidable. My enchantment art has no effect on you whatsoever."

As she spoke, Jin Ping'er turned and moved to Bai Ye's side. Her exquisite face pressed close to his, her expression seductive, while her jade-like hand rested over the porcelain bowl in his hand and drained the wine within in a single gulp.

"Good wine!"

"As expected of Qingyun Sect's Drunken Sword Immortal. This wine carries the fragrance of flowers and bamboo. It is one of the finest wines in the world."

A smile appeared on Bai Ye's face as he directly wrapped an arm around the beauty's waist. Staring at Jin Ping'er, he smiled. "Jin Ping'er of Joyful Union Sect is likewise blessed with peerless beauty, a woman of the highest rank in this world!"

"A beauty, fine wine, and a hero of Qingyun Sect like me—what a perfect match."

Whoosh!

Jin Ping'er's body trembled. With a flash, she instantly slipped out of Bai Ye's embrace and appeared before him. Her beautiful eyes stared at Bai Ye. "It seems you are not like those foolish Qingyun disciples. That is rather unexpected."

"Myriad Poisons Sect made such a great effort to hunt you down, yet you remain so carefree and unrestrained. Your strength is indeed impressive."

"Interesting! Truly interesting!"

As she spoke, Jin Ping'er flashed back into the private room. Her beautiful eyes fixed on Bai Ye as she gave him a seductive smile. "You, the Drunken Sword Immortal of Qingyun Sect, truly live up to your reputation. You are a first-rate figure in this world, but it is a pity that you joined Qingyun Sect."

"If you joined my Joyful Union Sect, Ping'er would certainly welcome you with open arms."

As she spoke, another wave of soul-bewitching power spread forth.

"Hahaha~!"

"What does that matter? If you marry me, won't we become one family?"

Bai Ye laughed loudly.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise appeared on Jin Ping'er's face before she gave another seductive smile. "Young Master, don't fall in love with me."

"The more beautiful a woman is, the more likely she is to deceive."

With that, Jin Ping'er lightly tapped the ground with her jade foot. Her figure then transformed into a streak of goose-yellow light and vanished from the inn.

Immediately afterward, Jin Ping'er's voice drifted through the air.

"If Young Master truly wishes it, you may come to Joyful Union Sect. When the time comes, Ping'er can marry you."
