Borrowing a Child of Destiny's Halo

Furthermore... if Long Aotian truly trusted the old man, he wouldn't be this flustered right now, nor would he have unnecessarily replied with that sentence.

Even if Long Aotian outwardly didn't question the old man deep within his soul, Bai Lan's words just now would still be like a fishbone stuck in his throat.

From this point on, he would guard against the old man in all aspects and wouldn't reveal all his secrets to him.

The result of mutual suspicion has never been good.

Once the seed of doubt is sown in the heart, it will take root and sprout, and with just time to catalyze it, it will grow into a towering tree, completely crushing the trust between them.

And the old man hidden within Long Aotian's divine consciousness is naturally not a fool; those who have lived for a thousand years are all shrewd old monsters.

The old man naturally knew that if he and Long Aotian experienced a crisis of trust, the long-term consequences would be very serious.

But between the choice of being completely honest and continuing to conceal, he would still choose the latter.

This is because, in the old man's eyes, Long Aotian was equally untrustworthy.

Perhaps Bai Lan's slightly smiling gaze was too dazzling, so Long Aotian snorted coldly and turned to leave, his retreating figure carrying a sense of hurried escape.

"He's flustered, he must be flustered," the system exclaimed excitedly from the side.

"Anyone would be flustered in this situation. Letting a stranger of unknown origin and powerful strength live in your head is not a good thing." Bai Lan chuckled, "The only reason Long Aotian could accept this is because he temporarily cannot do without the old man's help."

The spaceship's speed far exceeded everyone's imagination. Through the thick spiritual energy barrier outside, they could see the scenery rapidly receding.

However, Bai Lan had no time to pay attention to these things.

From the beginning, she knew that during the time everyone was traveling to the Azure Origin Sect, there was a special plotline concerning the destined heroine.

"Young Master of the Demon Clan, Lan Ning," one of the heroine's romantic interests.

But there were no specific details, only that "Lan Ning saw the calm and collected heroine in the panicked crowd and fell in love with her at first sight."

Bai Lan: "..."

While Bai Lan was lost in thought, sounds of bombardment came from overhead.

Looking up, countless huge fireballs emitting black mist were continuously striking the barrier outside the spaceship.

Several demonic cultivators in black robes flying on their swords had already surrounded the spaceship, and various attacks were frequently being hurled at the barrier outside.

Bai Lan's heart skipped a beat. What was going on?

Good, good, good, the cultivation world is truly "warm and hospitable."

They, a group of mere mortals who had just tested their spiritual roots and entered the threshold of the cultivation world, were encountering such an exciting event?

Quickly saving the game, Bai Lan then stabilized her mind to observe the situation.

The barrier outside the spaceship appeared solid, but several joint areas were showing faint cracks. Looking outwards, those huge fireballs and demonic cultivators were all concentrating their attacks on one spot.

In other words, focused fire.

For a barrier, as long as one hole is broken, even if other parts remain intact, it's no different from having no barrier.

Once a corner of the barrier is accidentally shattered, cultivators might still have a chance to survive, but they, mere mortals with not a trace of cultivation, would definitely be caught in the crossfire.

If those fireballs rained down, she would turn to ash in the next second.

"How dare you all attack my Azure Origin Sect? Do you truly think I don't exist!"

As the scene descended into chaos, a sharp female voice echoed from inside the spaceship. A female cultivator in purple, holding a long whip, flew into the sky, her pressure spreading out as she confronted the many demonic cultivators.

This person was an elder of the Azure Origin Sect at the Core Formation stage.

But evidently, the demonic cultivator faction also had someone of equivalent cultivation overseeing them.

Facing the overwhelming pressure emanating from the purple-clad female cultivator, another force also enveloped the demonic cultivator faction.

A cackling laugh, impossible to discern gender, rang out, "So it's Fairy Zi Ling presiding over this journey? What an honor. I've had my eyes on your whip for a long time."

Can't find the book title? Try searching for the author, maybe the name has changed!

Bai Lan gasped.

What's going on? A cultivation world version of a masochist?

The purple-clad female cultivator snorted, "Sick. Hiding and lurking, annoying. If you come to accept death earlier, I might even leave you with a complete corpse."

"Ha~" the voice chuckled playfully, "That truly scares me, boo hoo hoo."

With that, three bloody flying blades attacked from the black mist on the opposite side.

Zi Ling sneered and conjured several bolts of lightning with a raise of her hand, flashing towards the opposite side.

The battle was about to break out. Amidst the dazzling display, someone inside the spaceship shouted, "Senior Brother Liu! What are you doing! That's a formation flag, don't move it carelessly!"

Bai Lan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked in the direction of the voice.

A cultivator dressed in the inner disciple attire of the Azure Origin Sect had a red light flash in his hand.

Who was that? Could it be a mole from the demonic cultivators?

As Bai Lan thought this, the barrier outside the spaceship instantly vanished. In just a moment, the fireballs from above began to descend directly towards everyone.

There really was an inside traitor!

With a corner of the formation flag destroyed, the formation encountered problems, and the barrier subsequently dissipated.

What the heck, the formations in the cultivation world are connected in series?

If one part is destroyed, the whole thing is destroyed.

A scorching heat washed over her, and Bai Lan instinctively looked towards the two Children of Destiny.

Just as she suspected!

The positions of the two Children of Destiny completely avoided the range of this fireball attack.

A second before being engulfed by the fireball, Bai Lan reloaded her save.

Time instantly rewound ten minutes. Bai Lan took a deep breath.

In another ten minutes, the spaceship's formation would be broken by the mole within, Senior Brother Liu.

When the fireball above struck, half the mortals on the spaceship would die.

Even if True Person Zi Ling had great abilities, she wouldn't have expected an internal traitor on the spaceship.

Reveal the mole's identity? Then Senior Brother Liu, who had cultivation, would kill her, a mortal, in the next second.

It only takes an instant for a cultivator to kill a mortal, especially when the cultivator is at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Therefore, this problem is unsolvable. Everyone has their own fate. She should save herself first.

Looking at Long Aotian, who was frowning in thought in the distance, Bai Lan's expression flickered, and she strode over.

I'll borrow some of the Child of Destiny's halo, thanks.

Children of Destiny, with maxed-out luck and constrained by the Heavenly Dao's laws, would never be accidentally injured by this kind of AOE damage.

So, in this situation, standing next to Long Aotian was very safe.

"What are you doing!?" Long Aotian instinctively felt something bad was about to happen when Bai Lan walked over.

Bai Lan chuckled, "My conscience got the better of me. I want to return your Storage Bag."

"Really!?" Long Aotian clearly believed her.

Bai Lan spread her hands, "Just kidding. You actually believed me?"

Long Aotian: "..."

"One day, I will make you pay," Long Aotian said, his expression chilling.

If you think this book is good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
