Darkness Flower

Xiao Bai and Mu Yun returned to the mountain with all speed.

Their swords landed at the Pill Pavilion.

The Disciples on the Bluestone Plaza, seeing the two who had been fighting to the death just three days ago now Sword Riding together, couldn't help but admire Xiao Bai's skills with the ladies.

Not only did he hook up with an Elder, but he didn't even spare the Elder's Disciple...

Beast!

The Disciples dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

The male Disciples' heads were twisted with envy.

The female Disciples' curiosity about Xiao Bai skyrocketed.

After landing, Mu Yun felt a slight numbness in her ankle.

Although she enjoyed the queen-like feeling of being above her Martial Granduncle, she always felt like she was at a disadvantage somewhere.

"This matter must be reported to the Discipline Hall. I'll go find Second Senior Brother first, so I won't go up the mountain with you. Go find some comfort from Master yourself."

What do you mean, go find some comfort from the Elder?

He was in great spirits, why would he need comfort?

Okay, he did need to find some comfort.

Xiao Bai understood.

"See you later."

Seeing Xiao Bai's figure disappear into the horizon, Mu Yun's proud eyes gradually cooled.

With a flash, she headed straight for the northwest.

Back at the Mountaintop.

Xiao Bai went to the Bamboo Forest Hot Spring to wash away the sweat and blood stains, then returned to the Bamboo Hut Study Room, opened the bookcase, and went straight to the Pill Room along the fragrant path.

The Pill Room was undefended.

The Elder was not drinking tea, meditating, or taking care of the Pills and Elixirs in the Pill Furnace, as usual.

Instead, she was Dissecting a snake on the Stone Platform...

A dark red poisonous snake as thick as a wrist!

The snake's eyes were like a woman's Beguiler eyes, its scales were soft and covered with mucus, and its delicate tail was entwined.

How disgusting...

Let me take another look.

For some reason, Xiao Ran had a feeling that his hormones were surging.

That was a snake!

Even more outrageous, the red snake, which was in the process of Began Dissecting the Belly with a short knife, showed a posture of joy.

Too weird.

Hearing footsteps, Yu Hu, who was Dissecting the red snake, picked up the blood-red Peach Petal Tea from the edge of the Stone Platform without turning her head:

"I thought it was the Spine Gu Worm that came back."

"..."

Xiao Bai explained the whole story in detail, emphasizing how dangerous the situation was and how badly he had been beaten.

Thinking about it carefully, the battle was extremely dangerous, and it was not far from the Spine Gu Worm returning.

And all the dangerous situations he encountered seemed to be within the Elder's expectations.

"Does the Elder have some important identity that makes many people stare at you, so some Villains want to get rid of me and arrange Chess pieces by your side?"

Only then did Yu Hu slowly turn around, her fair and jade-like hand slowly wiping the blood from her face.

After wiping the blood, her hand was still white.

Her picturesque face was as cold as ever, only a hint of spring water rippled in her eyes.

"So, you're not a Chess piece?"

What about the trust between husband and wife?

Even if we don't have feelings, we've been old comrades-in-arms for several days, don't we have that much trust?

"Given your words, I'm at most a Chessboard to be played with, of course, the Chess player is limited to the Immortal Fairy."

Yu Hu smiled sweetly, took a sip of tea, and said:

"So... Mu Yun bullied you too?"

Another question that could lead to death!

Xiao Bai said without thinking:

"No, my Senior Sister and I respect each other like honored guests; there's absolutely nothing like that going on!"

As soon as the words left Xiao Bai's mouth, he knew he'd messed up.

"Wait, it's not that we respect each other like honored guests... what I mean is... Elder, please let me expla—"

The cold tea began to emit a red mist at some point.

Yu Hu pointed at Xiao Bai's hand and said, "Your hand smells of bamboo silk."

"Pfft--"

Xiao Bai couldn't explain himself no matter what he said; he couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Yu Hu's eyes rippled, and her tone suddenly became gentle as she pointed to the red mist swirling around her teacup.

"You must be tired. Have a cup of tea."

In a daze, Xiao Bai thought he heard, "Darling..."

"Wife, you've misunderstood. It's just that Senior Sister's Sword Riding is too fast, and I had nowhere to hold on, so—"

"Drink your tea."

Snow Flame Sect, the northwest Mountains.

In a Bamboo Forest amidst the Wind and Snow, two middle-aged men wearing Disciple robes were slowly making their way through the forest.

One with a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivation.

The other with a Peak Foundation Establishment Cultivation.

In the Tian Yuan Era, it was extremely difficult for Cultivators to achieve Core Formation, so those at the Foundation Establishment Cultivation were the backbone of the Cultivation World, and could serve as Middle Stratum Instructors in any Sect.

However, these two were still wearing Disciple robes, not Sword Riding, but trudging through the forest.

Judging from the way they walked, they were more sharp than graceful, not like Sect Disciples.

The two men walked along, speaking softly, trying to hide their Aura and lower their voices.

"You failed to kill even a Mortal?"

"Although this boy only has Fetal Breath Cultivation, his Butcher's Sword Technique is incredibly refined, and his Physique is also extraordinary. He's very likely to be Master Yuhu's Experiment."

"Is it a Yao... or a Mo?"

"For now, he still seems human."

"Since he's human, Zhao Hanwu's failure is understandable. But you were there too, and you still couldn't kill him?"

"There's a third party protecting him in the dark. This person's strength is above mine, and their movements are extremely secretive. If their tracking skills weren't a bit lacking, I might not have made it back."

"It seems we'll have to act together... We can't go back and report until this matter is settled."

As soon as he finished speaking!

A chilling female voice echoed from above the Bamboo Forest canopy, making it difficult to pinpoint its location.

"Then don't go back."

"Who's there!"

The two men drew their swords Be Vigilant.

A black vine suddenly burrowed into the two men's bodies from beneath their feet.

Their Dantians were entangled by the vines, and the two men instantly lost their ability to resist, their swords falling to the ground.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be rash!"

"We're just errand boys! Spare our lives, and we'll tell you who's behind this!"

In a daze, a pair of slender legs tightly wrapped in black silk flashed through the forest, leaving behind a graceful breeze.

"Who cares?"

"Help—"

The two men opened their mouths to speak, but their throats were choked, and they couldn't say another word.

A Darkness Flower Transformed Into bloom in their mouths.

"I just want the Snow Flame Sect Transformed Into ashes."
