"Commander Bai! This man took Miss Bai Ling away! If the Grand Elder finds out, he'll definitely kill us!!!"
The two Core Formation cultivators burst into grief at the sight of Gongsun Lian, weeping with utterly genuine feeling. They had finally escaped the traitor Mozhu's clutches, only to discover, just as they were about to catch up to Bai Ling and the other man, that he actually possessed a Full Power Strike Talisman from a Nascent Soul Cultivator.
The power of a Nascent Soul Cultivator could kill Core Formation cultivators as easily as chopping melons and slicing vegetables. One Core Formation cultivator had already died ahead of them—who would still dare go forward and throw away their life?
The two no longer dared to pursue, and could only place their hopes on Bai Lan, He Gui's commander of guards.
Who knew whether that brat who had taken Bai Ling still had more Nascent Soul-grade talismans on him? If he did, wouldn't they be gambling with their own lives? No one wanted to lose their life over a Bai Ling.
But then again, if they lost Bai Ling, once He Gui returned, the two of them would still be unable to escape death...
"You two know the consequences of offending the Grand Elder." Gongsun Lian sighed softly and looked at the two Core Formation cultivators before her. "He Gui placed restrictions on you long ago. Even if you fled to the ends of the earth, you could not escape the hands of a late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator. He would definitely kill you both."
The two Core Formation cultivators looked at each other, their faces turning pale. That was no lie. Who in the Demonic Palace did not know that He Gui would go mad whenever anything concerning Bai Ling was involved?
