Just then, out of the corner of her Bai Ling, Ling glanced to her side and caught sight of a familiar white hem of clothing.
She turned around abruptly and, sure enough, saw that familiar figure.
That figure was so familiar, so much like him—the way he walked with his hands behind his back, the way he strode confidently, the way he exuded an aloof and arrogant aura.
Bai Ling only saw it on True Person Qing Xuan.
The system breathed a sigh of relief when it finally succeeded in luring the system.
He and Bai Lan studied the script more than a dozen times just by turning around and walking away with their hands behind their backs.
He had passed by the Bai Ling thirty times without Bai Ling noticing, but this time he finally managed to catch her at the right angle.
If a cultivator with cultivation were to disguise himself as True Person Qing Xuan and appear here, Yunyang, with his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, would definitely notice something amiss.
However, the system had no cultivation level and showed no trace of illusion on its face, resembling an ordinary person.
Therefore, when he tried to attract the Bai Ling's attention by passing by the two of them several times, Yunyang did not notice him.
"Shu'er, the plan is in place. The Bai Ling is practically glued to me." The system quickly left the Bai Ling's sight and then reported the situation.
"Well done, True Lord Cannon Fodder. All you need to do is lure her out of the city. Once the Bai Ling leaves the city, you can make your move."
"Receive!"
After speaking, the system quickened its pace and continued walking towards the city gates.
Bai Ling was astonished, and a tremendous joy welled up from the bottom of her heart, almost making her cry.
" Ling'er?" True Lord Yunyang looked at Bai Ling in confusion.
He had met True Person Qing Xuan before, so naturally he didn't notice the system's trickery just now.
Upon hearing the voice of True Lord Yunyang, the Bai Ling froze.
Although he didn't want to admit it, True Lord Yunyang was ultimately Demonic Cultivator, and his behavior was no different from that of Demonic Cultivator.
When encountering a low-level cultivator who disrespects him, he usually kills them with a single blow, without saying a word.
Her master, in Yunyang's eyes, was a low-level cultivator, the kind who could be killed with a single palm strike.
Demonic Cultivator have always been like this; He Gui once kidnapped many people who once liked her and killed them one by one in front of her.
Although A-Yang doesn't seem like that kind of person, Bai Ling dares not gamble with her beloved master's life on the moral bottom line of Demonic Cultivator anymore.
Even from another perspective, her master wouldn't want to see her traveling with Demonic Cultivator...
" Ling'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so upset?" True Lord Yunyang asked in a puzzled tone.
Bai Ling shook her head. "No, I just can't breathe when I think about the scene of my second senior brother being killed by the Old Demon He Gui. If Master knew about this, he would be extremely sad and hate me to death."
Yunyang shook his head helplessly. "Don't think about these things anymore, especially since you can't go back to your old life now."
These words struck a nerve with Bai Ling, and Yunyang quickly added another.
"But you still have me. For now, why don't you leave here with me? I'll take you to other continents. With my strength, even if we go to other places, I can still make sure you live well, and even find a way to repair your Spirit Root," Yunyang said with a smile.
Bai Ling nodded. "But I want to stay in Cangyuan City for a few more days and take one last look around."
"Of course, I'll listen to everything you say," Yunyang said with a smile.
Bai Ling looked up and met True Lord Yunyang's gaze. Suddenly, she looked away nervously and then said in a low voice, "Ayang, you go to the city and find a place for us to stay. I want to... I want to buy some food."
"What do you want to eat? I'll go with you," True Lord Yunyang said with a smile.
Bai Ling shook her head repeatedly. "It's alright, you don't need to worry about me. No one will recognize me. On the contrary, you should be careful."
True Lord Yunyang smiled helplessly and affectionately, then gently pinched the nose of the Bai Ling: "Alright, alright, I can't argue with you. Go and come back soon. If you encounter any danger, just throw this talisman out, and it will protect you for me."
The Bai Ling took the talisman and nodded with a smile.
Bai Lan saw the talisman from a distance, her eyes lit up, and she nodded with a smile.
Seeing that Bai Ling was gradually heading towards the city gates, Bai Lan got up and followed, taking out a Sound Transmission Talisman Sound Transmission Talisman and sending it to Hanxu Zi.
"Ancestor!!! This is terrible! This is terrible! A Nascent Soul stage Demonic Cultivator has appeared in Cangyuan City! If you don't appear and eliminate this demon, our lives will be in imminent danger!!!"
Hanxu Zi had just finished a bunch of trivial matters and returned to the rocking chair at the entrance of the sect's Library Pavilion, intending to enjoy a moment of peace and quiet, when he was startled by this shout.
What are these Demonic Path cultivators doing in Cangyuan City? Are they implying that the Azure Sect has no one to rely on?
Wait a minute, the Azure Sect has indeed run into some trouble recently, and someone is missing... How did the Demonic Path find out about this? Could it be that there is a traitor within the sect?
Hanxu Zi's mind raced for a thousand thoughts, and finally he let out a soft sigh.
He had just returned from the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion and was not in a good mood.
Previously, most of the Nascent Soul cultivators in the Mist Cloud Continent had been invited by True Lord Suiyun to explore a secret realm. This invitation extended not only to cultivators from the Mist Cloud Continent but also to high-level cultivators from other places.
Although they knew that going to the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion was somewhat dangerous, since so many people had gone, nothing serious was bound to happen. Moreover, the secret realm contained the pills needed to break through to the Spirit Transformation stage, and the allure was too great. Therefore, those who believed they had ways to protect themselves all went.
Things went exactly as they had expected. True Lord Suiyun did not make a move throughout the entire process. Exploring secret realms is always dangerous, and there will always be times when one is alone. Wu Yin likes to be alone, perhaps because he is too confident in his own strength.
The good news is that he didn't perish; the bad news is that among the dead Nascent Soul cultivators were members of the Azure Sect.
The Azure Sect lost a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, which was a huge blow to the sect. He suspected that True Lord Suiyun, but there was no evidence.
Even if Wu Yin's character isn't great and his actions are quite selfish, he is still a Nascent Soul cultivator and a pillar of the sect. With the war between the righteous and demonic factions imminent, the loss of a Nascent Soul cultivator would be a terrible piece of news.
For now, we can only suppress this news and wait for another Nascent Soul cultivator to emerge from within the sect to fill this suddenly appearing pit.
Hanxu Zi's grief had not yet subsided when he was once again shocked by the news brought by Bai Lan.
"What's wrong with you? What's wrong with you? How many times has this happened?! You're just a Foundation Establishment cultivator, why do you always encounter such powerful experts? Is it an accident or intentional?!" Hanxu Zi didn't even have time to put on his ancestral airs before angrily shouting, "Would a normal Foundation Establishment cultivator encounter Nascent Soul cultivators every few days and come to the ancestor for help?! Even the Core Formation juniors in the sect aren't as outrageous as you!"
Why is this old man's temper getting more and more explosive? Could it be that he hasn't beaten anyone up since he went out to fight? Bai Lan pondered to herself.
Bai Lan held the Sound Transmission Talisman a little further away. "Please forgive me, Ancestor. Those Foundation Establishment cultivators who did not ask for help in time have all died. Only those like me who report problems and dangers in a timely manner can live a long life."
Hanxu Zi remained silent. What he said was indeed correct; it was just that he had somewhat neglected the old ancestor.
"Most importantly, if Yunyang causes any trouble in the city, it will be the Azure Sect that loses face! Imagine if the Ancestor appeared and personally killed this Old Devil, how would the cultivation world view the Azure Sect?"
Compared to Yunyang's rampage in Cangyuan City, the fact that the Old Devil of the Demonic Path who had trampled the territory under the jurisdiction of the Azure Sect was killed by the patriarch of the Azure Sect was indeed quite a story.
Hanxu Zi took a deep breath and slowly asked, "Where is Yunyang now?"
"It's right here in Cangyuan City. If you arrive now, Ancestor, you can still exorcise the demon!" After saying this, Bai Lan cut off the Sound Transmission Talisman and turned her gaze to Bai Ling, who was hugging the system's waist in the distance.
