Suddenly, Lin Ruoshui's expression changed, and she took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from her Storage Bag.
From within came Elder Yue's furious voice. "Ruoshui! Where have you gone? Who are you with now?"
"I, I..." Lin Ruoshui turned to look at Bai Lan and hesitated.
Bai Lan smiled slightly and transmitted her voice, "Go back without worry, nothing will happen."
Go back without worry. Your master will definitely be furious this time. Bai Lan doesn't believe she won't be locked up in the dark room.
"I must see you now," Elder Yue said in a somber voice.
Lin Ruoshui's expression tensed for a moment. She gritted her teeth and replied in a low voice, "Master, I'll go back now."
Watching Lin Ruoshui's departing figure on her sword, Elder Xu solemnly reminded her, " Yan Gu Young Pavilion Master, if the Pavilion Master finds out about Yan Gu Xi..."
"You won't tell the Pavilion Master, I believe you." Bai Lan smiled slightly.
Read as "believe," write as "threat."
Lin Ruoshui has left, Yan Gu has died on his own. He is not currently within the territory of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion. With True Lord Suiyun not here, it is the perfect time to collect his soul.
Elder Xu was unaware of the impending danger. She shook her head again, her face showing concern for Bai Lan, but her voice held a hint of schadenfreude. "The Divine Ability Master is incredibly powerful and skilled in divination. Even if I keep my mouth shut, it's hard to guarantee that she can't figure out that Yan Gu died at your hands."
"So what, even the Danjie monks in Tianji Pavilion, my young master has never killed them."
Elder Xu suddenly felt a chill on his neck and involuntarily took a step back.
"Moreover, Young Master is also proficient in divination, so this time the task of enticing Yan Gu to leave the family has been entrusted to you. In this way, even if the old lady Yi Xi divines, this karmic debt will only be attributed to you."
Even though Bai Lan was the mastermind, she didn't do anything herself; she left everything to her subordinates... How treacherous!
Elder Xu's face turned both blue and purple.
She desperately wanted to escape, but she couldn't.
" Elder Xu, whether you're here to protect me or to monitor me, we both know the answer. I don't like being monitored, so you only have two paths before you: either be exposed by Elder Yan Yan's hands, or leave Yan Gu Heavenly Secrets Pavilion now and turn to the light. I value talent, so I'll at least give you a way out."
Upon hearing this, Elder Xu didn't hesitate for a second. Her gloomy face instantly lit up with a bright smile, "This old woman is naturally willing to serve the Young Pavilion Master!"
Just kidding, she was planning to switch jobs as soon as she arrived, so naturally she has to say whatever comes to mind.
She couldn't stay in the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion any longer, and she didn't want to stay by Bai Lan's side either; dealing with a tiger for its skin was not her principle.
The cultivation world is vast, and there's nowhere you can't go. If all else fails, you can find a job at the Myriad Treasures Pavilion and barely make ends meet.
The method for using the Divine Restraining Curse Spell is even simpler: just spend a fortune to find a powerful Nascent Soul cultivator to help...
Just as Elder Xu was envisioning a beautiful future, a powerful pressure suddenly descended, freezing her completely in place.
Transformation, the Divinity Transformation Stage!!!
Bai Lan slowly stepped forward, lifted the hood of her head under Elder Xu's stiff gaze, and then expressionlessly stretched out her palm. "Hand over a wisp of your divine soul."
What's going on?
Lifting the hood and seeing her true face meant that she had discovered Bai Lan's greatest secret.
In the cultivation world, only the dead, whose souls have been scattered, can keep secrets.
"Ah?" Elder Xu swallowed hard. "Young... Young Pavilion Master, didn't you already place Divine Restraining Curse on me...?"
She wants everything!
"I'm sorry, that was Yi Xi's doing. Elder Xu, now hand over a wisp of your soul, and I will remove the Divine Restraining Curse for you, helping you escape the control of the Pavilion Master."
Then he placed it in her hand.
Elder Xu was shocked when he saw Bai Lan revealing her true face.
The Young Pavilion Master's face seems somewhat familiar... wait, this is no longer needed.
What I really want is that the Divine Restraining Curse on her body was actually placed by the Pavilion Master!?
That woman? True Lord Suiyun, on the surface he pretends to be the Pavilion Master, but behind the scenes he actually... Elder Xu's chest heaved with anger, he felt dizzy and his teeth itched terribly.
Sure enough, just as I expected!
Neither of these two women is a lunatic!
Elder Xu trembled with rage. "You... you're dreaming!"
Even the Divine Restraining Curse can still be broken, but if she surrenders a wisp of her divine soul, she will truly be unable to leave Bai Lan.
She yearns for freedom, enjoys changing jobs frequently, and has no desire to be bound by anyone.
" Elder Fu, send her on her way." Bai Lan turned around and said calmly, "The cultivation world is dangerous. Young Pavilion Master Yi went out to pick spiritual herbs and unfortunately encountered the Demonic Palace's infant assassins. Fortunately, Elder Xu protected her with his life, and she escaped with her life. Hmm... Yi Yi should believe this reason. Don't worry, I will remember to build a cenotaph for you."
Elder Fu his tongue. "That makes sense. You've made so many enemies outside, and your cheap sworn brother is also aware of that. It's normal for him to be a bodyguard."
Damn it, they've even prepared a cause of death for her; this is preparation for her to be annihilated.
Elder Xu listened to the conversation between the two, his mind buzzed. He felt as if all the past events were flashing before his eyes like a lantern. The thought that his 100 years of cultivation would be reduced to ashes filled him with even greater fear.
Elder Xu was so oppressed by the aura of the talisman's god-level power that he could not move. At this moment, he did not even have the strength to take out the communication talisman to reveal Bai Lan's true identity to True Monarch Suiyun.
