"However, Junior Nephew Bai's method of concealing his aura and his Divine Ability to attack Divine Sense are quite good. If you are willing to hand them over and offer up a wisp of your divine soul, I might spare your life," He Gui said with a smile.

Bai Lan almost burst out laughing; someone actually dared to steal her lines.

She had originally thought that if He Gui could hand over all his magical Divine Ability and offer up a wisp of his soul, she would spare his life and reluctantly take in the Golden Qi Sect Old Ancestor.

"No... Absolutely not! Today I will definitely kill you here, you Demonic Path scoundrel!" Bai Lan laughed inwardly, but continued to act on the surface.

"Hmph, stubborn as a mule!"

Upon hearing this, He Gui snorted coldly, flicked his whisk, and increased the force of the surrounding wind blades, intending to make things more difficult for Bai Lan.

Seeing this, Bai Lan, who was hiding inside the Void Stone, smiled and began to gather her strength for the next round while observing the surrounding situation.

Bai Lan's favorite thing to do is to use basic attacks to bait out powerful attacks, and he especially enjoys watching others waste their time for no reason.

In order to make He Gui consume his spiritual power faster, he continued to provide voiceovers for him while hiding inside the Void Stone, playing the role of someone struggling to hold on in the wind formation.

The two remained locked in this stalemate for a full hour. As the tremors in He Guizhi's sea of consciousness grew stronger and stronger, and his spiritual energy was about to be exhausted, he realized that he had been blowing wind for a full hour and still hadn't managed to kill Bai Lan.

This doesn't seem right...

Her voice was so weak when she spoke to herself that it sounded like she was about to die, but even though her voice was extremely weak, she was still alive and had not revealed any weakness due to the exhaustion of her spiritual power.

"Crane... Return... Even if I become a ghost, I will never let you go!" Bai Lan was still acting.

The Elder Fu in the Void Stone looked at Bai Lan, who was struggling to speak, with a complicated expression.

Why did she imitate it so well? Was it because she killed too many people and saw too many scenes like this?

He Gui, who was standing outside the arena, remained silent for a long time before suddenly becoming alert. Alarm bells rang in his mind. Strange things had been happening ever since he stepped into Liubo Mountain.

He put away his whisk and turned to leave, unwilling to stay and continue to entangle with Bai Lan.

Just as He Gui stopped and the surrounding wind blades disappeared, a long-charged Soul Severing once again came straight towards He Gui's face.

He Gui's eyes widened instantly. He was about to turn and flee when he found that the familiar divine pressure was pressing down on his head again.

Bai Lan had been gathering his strength for a full hour before launching this attack, and he even had to consume two Soul Nurturing Pill during the process due to excessive depletion of his Divine Sense.

The strike was three times stronger than before. With his spiritual energy depleted and his soul extremely unstable, He Guiying was struck and was unable to maintain his balance in the air, falling straight down into Liubo Mountain below.

Bai Lan carefully observed the location where He Gui fell. To prevent He Gui from having any hidden tricks up his sleeve, he reloaded the save file and summoned Hong Xiao and True Lord Xu a quarter of an hour before He Gui Soul Severing Strike.

"You two, go to this location on the map and set up the Jia-3-7 formation around it."

The Jia Sanqi formation is Illusion Array set among the formation sets that Bai Lan had previously arranged and combined. It also includes three Spirit Gathering Formation. If the formations are set up in advance to accumulate spiritual power, a lot of Spirit Stone can be saved.

For He Gui, whose mentality had collapsed and whose soul was in turmoil, even a sixth-order Illusion Array was enough to confuse him.

Hong Xiao and True Lord Xu were puzzled, but they still nodded.

"Did you calculate it again?"

Elder Fu had already anticipated what Bai Lan's answer would be after he asked the question.

Bai Lan nodded. " Elder Fu is wise."

The process proceeded as smoothly as before. After Soul Severing -Slaying Strike, He Gui landed steadily in the Illusion Array that Hong Xiao and True Lord Xu had set up in advance. He was hit by Bai Lan three times but was unable to retaliate. At this moment, He Gui was completely trapped in the Illusion Array. When he finally woke up after exhausting all his spiritual power, he would find that the Storage Bag on his waist had disappeared. Facing him was Bai Lan in full health and the Nascent Soul Law Treasure that imprisoned his Nascent Soul above his head.

After everything was ready, Bai Lan finally breathed a sigh of relief and flashed out from the Void Stone. Just as she was about to go forward to observe He Gui in the Illusion Array, she was stopped by Elder Fu's voice.

"Wait, wait a minute."

Bai Lan's expression changed, worried that there might be a trap. Just as she was about to flash back to the Void Stone, she heard Elder Fu speak again, "There is a Mid Nascent Soul cultivator lurking around... This person does have some skills. His ability to conceal his aura even fooled me. Unfortunately, he is still when he is still, but once he moves, he reveals his weakness."

"..." Can it be used to avoid the radar of a talisman-aged god? I want to learn it, I really want to learn it.

The timing of this Nascent Soul Cultivator's appearance is quite subtle. He didn't appear when she was frantically charging up her power to attack people, but now that He Gui has reduced her to low health, he's suddenly shown up. Could it be that he's here to snatch her Storage Bag?

" Elder Fu, prepare to escape. I want to meet this person." Bai Lan frowned slightly, then saved the game on the spot and stayed there to wait for the person to appear.

Suddenly, after a moment, a woman in yellow gradually approached from a distance. The woman had a kind smile on her face, and her gaze first fell on He Gui, who was in the Illusion Array. A look of regret flashed in her eyes.

He was indeed at the Mid Nascent Soul realm, but judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be here to steal the Storage Bag; rather, he seemed to be here to steal her future Nascent Soul laborer.

Bai Lan remained silent, only casually snapping a photo and sending it to the system. Seeing Bai Lan's prolonged silence, the woman opposite smiled and asked, "Junior Nephew Bai, do you perhaps not recognize me?"

"..." Bai Lan shook her head.

"I am another Nascent Soul Ancestor of the Golden Qi Sect, and He Gui's Senior Sister." After saying this, the woman in yellow circled the Illusion Array that imprisoned He Gui a few times, and couldn't help but click her tongue. "Interesting. Where did you get so many fifth and sixth-order Illusion Array? The concealment Divine Ability you used to deal with He Gui just now was also quite interesting."

"You are True Lord Jin Heng! I have long admired you." Bai Lan bowed expressionlessly.

She did some mental calculations. She hadn't used many methods to deal with He Gui. She would talk to her first and see if He Gui would take her away or if she had any evil intentions of killing her to steal her treasure... Well, she could deal with Nascent Soul Early Stage, but mid-stage ones were indeed a bit difficult to kill. She would just have to reload her save file then.

"Alas, Junior Brother He Gui has gone astray. I had already sensed this, and I wanted to observe him further to see if there was any hope for him. But I never expected that his departure from the sect this time was to kill you." The woman in yellow looked helpless, like a senior Senior Sister who cared about her junior brother.
