He Gui sneered, " Ling'er, do you think I won't make a move against you?"
Bai Ling's face turned pale.
He Gui smiled slightly, and several unknown boneless worms slowly crawled out of his sleeve. The worms were dark blue and emitted a faint dark blue light. The worms emerged densely from He Gui's sleeve, and the scene gave Bai Ling goosebumps. Fortunately, the worms did not target her. Instead, they bypassed Bai Ling and attached themselves to Guang Wei.
Under the gnaw of the unknown boneless worm, Guangwei's body quickly withered. In just a breath, the worm sucked away its flesh and soul, leaving only withered bones and skin lying quietly on the ground, with only the sound of the worm gnawing and tearing.
Bai Ling had only known him for less than a month when he died in the harem of Core Formation stage cultivator.
Bai Ling trembled uncontrollably upon hearing the commotion behind her. Curious, she slowly turned around and saw the fallen skin of the True Lord Guangwei. Her legs immediately gave way.
Seeing that he had intimidated Bai Ling enough, He Gui smiled slightly, raised his hand to support Bai Ling, and said coldly, " Ling'er, I will not give you another chance to escape."
Bai Ling's mind went blank. After a moment, she regained some consciousness. Guang Wei was dead, and his death was so tragic... Although she had seen this scene many times before.
Although she had lost her brother Guang, she still had her master. Bai Ling had not forgotten her purpose in coming to the Demonic Palace.
If he helps Qian Ji Zi rescue Lan Ning, he promises to release his master. As long as his master can be saved, she can leave the Demonic Palace forever without any worries.
After this incident, she would never return to the Demonic Palace, nor would she ever forgive He Gui! But for now, her master was still waiting for her.
Bai Ling of this, Bai Ling's eyes flashed with pain. After hesitating for a moment, she turned around and took the initiative to hug He Gui.
"I'm sorry, Ah, I won't run away this time. I've figured it out. Actually, I like you more."
The black-clad He Gui froze, a hint of joy gradually appearing in his eyes.
It was like the joy of finally receiving a refreshing rain after a 1.8-acre field that had never been irrigated.
Ignoring the fact that the corpse on the ground was still warm, the two embraced and kissed.
Among the group of the Demonic Palace guards who had been knocked down by the oppressive aura, a few survivors remained alive. Seeing this scene, they showed no emotion on their faces, but in their hearts, they had already cursed He Gui and Bai Ling's ancestors for eight generations. After all, strength was the only thing that mattered here. He Gui, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, overpowered all the elders of the Demonic Palace. What could these lowly servants say?
Gongsun Lian walked in slowly at this moment and said in a low voice, "Elder, Miss Bai has had a long journey. I have prepared a welcome-back feast. However, since the Ancestor does not eat grains, Miss Bai still needs some. Please, Ancestor, come and join us."
He Gui was in a good mood at the moment, and nodded slightly upon hearing this. "Well done."
After saying this, he put his arm around Bai Ling Ling's waist, and the two of them flew away from the main hall, leaving behind a group of resentful demon Demonic Palace guards.
"Everyone, get up quickly." The next second, Gongsun Lian changed her expression and waved her sleeve to distribute several Soul Nurturing Pill to the few Demonic Palace guards who were still alive.
"This is... Soul Nurturing Pill? For us!?" At this moment, Gongsun Lian and the other guards of the inner palace of the Demonic Palace suddenly became taller, like a second parent, like a living white moonlight.
Gongsun Lian shook her head and sighed, "Alas, the Grand Elder's days are truly..."
"Commander, the Grand Elder is never like this normally. Ever since that woman named Bai Ling appeared, his temper seems to have regressed to the Qi Refining stage. He gets angry at the slightest disagreement. It's fine for him to be angry with Ling'er, but we are in trouble. After all, when the Ancestor is angry, he doesn't recognize anyone except Miss Ling'er."
When the He Gui unleashes its oppressive power, everyone will prostrate themselves on the ground, except for Bai Ling.
Because she was protected by a separate layer of shield set up by the He Gui.
No matter when or where, he always made sure to show everyone how special he was to Bai Ling.
Including but not limited to, only Bai Ling could quell his anger.
Only Bai Ling can make him smile, only Bai Ling can go to the forbidden area of the Demonic Palace, only Bai Ling can make him lose his mind, and so on.
There are countless strange and unusual special treatments like these; He Gui practically has the words "my enemy" written all over Bai Ling's face.
Such Bai Ling would have been the object of all the Demonic Palace cultivators' flattery, undoubtedly the Demonic Palace's darling.
Under the machinations of Gongsun Lian and the behind-the-scenes manipulation of Bai Lan, Bai Ling has become the public enemy of the Demonic Palace.
"If it weren't for those few Spirit Stone, why would we have come here to suffer?"
"Now it seems this godforsaken place is even less safe than the outer hall; at least there's no one here as hostile as He Gui!"
"Unfortunately, we'll likely never reach the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul Late Stage stage in our lifetime. Since things have come to this, silence is the only option..."
"Alas, what can one do when one is merely an ant?"
As they talked, the group of the Demonic Palace guards took the Soul Nurturing Pill that Gongsun Lian gave them and began to heal their severely injured souls.
Gongsun Lian listened silently and nodded in agreement. "Yes, after all, in the eyes of a great being, we are nothing but ants and weeds."
"No, Commander, you're different. You truly consider us your own people. Otherwise, how could you just give away something as valuable as the Soul Nurturing Pill?" A guard from the Demonic Palace suddenly chuckled.
Gongsun Lian waved her hand. "It's a miracle you all survived this time. If it weren't for the Soul Nurturing Pill to strengthen your souls, you would probably be dead..."
"Command..." A Demonic Palace guard said with emotion.
Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "After this incident, I think you will no longer want to work in the inner palace. If you trust me, I can introduce you to a job. Not only that, you can still receive the salary of the Demonic Palace in the future."
"We certainly trust the Commander!"
Gongsun Lian smiled faintly, agreeing to her request was only right.
After all, having taken her Soul Nurturing Pill, he had no choice but to agree, even if he didn't want to.
She had witnessed Bai Lan's methods of adding things to the Soul Nurturing Pill before, and it was always effective.
... It's time to start construction on the spirit mine that Bai Lan gave her, but we're short of laborers.
Meanwhile, after hearing the news of his subordinate Chu Guangwei's demise, the True Lord Suiyun of the Far Heavenly Secrets Pavilion fell into deep thought.
How did Guangwei die? Where did he die? Who did it?
These three points had absolutely nothing to do with Bai Lan; she wasn't even aware of them at the time.
At this moment, Bai Lan was carried back to the sect by Nan Xianshi, who then sent her to cave abode to recuperate.
After using the excuse of seclusion to recuperate from his injuries to trick Nan Xianshi, Bai Lan turned around and slipped out of his cave abode, heading towards the outer peak on his sword.
She still had fortuitous opportunity to take advantage of the Azure Origin Sect, and her training outside had delayed her for a long time. She needed to go and see if that person had perished.
