Love

Bai Fu's eyes darkened slightly, the frost in them almost solidifying.

"Master, don't worry, with the sword formation, I'm not afraid at all," she said. "But how do I get out of here?"

Bai Fu said, "This is your State of Mind. If you want to leave, no one can stop you."

Qiaoqiao vaguely understood his meaning, got up to leave, but hesitated, "Master, then... will your sword intent remain here forever?"

"I'll be there as long as you want me to."

Qiaoqiao was stunned for a moment.

She took two steps, then turned back.

The man in white remained seated, his thick eyelashes casting pale shadows beneath his eyes, looking as lonely as a shadow.

This scene made her heartstrings tremble for no reason.

"Master, may I come to see you again?"

Chapter 48 Love

Bai Fu looked up at her, Qiaoqiao subconsciously added, "I meant... I came to see Master's sword intent."

He sat upright in the center of the sword formation, surrounded by silver longswords, his aura as cold and abyss-like as ice and snow.

A sense of absurdity arose in Qiaoqiao's heart; she had a feeling that her master at this moment was real...

Bai Fu merely glanced at her, a meaningful look in his eyes, and said, "Qiaoqiao, it's time for you to wake up."

The sword formation and the starry sea gradually faded, and the light of day filled the room. Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, and the rising sun streamed into the room. The goddess sword sheath beside her had dimmed its light and looked like an ordinary, slightly more attractive decoration.

She reached for the scabbard, and the mysterious resonance vanished.

In her dream, she sensed the call of the divine sword. Although the sword's words were fragmented, she heard the word "demon." Suddenly, she remembered overhearing conversations among the lesser demons in Envy Fish City, where they also mentioned the "divine sword." Could the divine sword be in the Demon Realm?

Perhaps, she should go to the Demon Realm...

She held the sword sheath, lost in thought, wondering what her master was doing at this moment.

Inside cave abode somewhere in Heavenly Secrets City.

The middle-aged cultivator in a Daoist robe lay on the ground, a thin line of blood on the side of his neck, the wound covered with a layer of frost.

The cultivator's eyes were wide open; his breath had ceased.

Before him stood the white-robed immortal, his black killing intent swirling around him like a dragon, eventually coiling around Bai Fu like an inescapable Curse.

With each additional burst of murderous intent, his aura grew colder and more somber.

He paid no heed to the dead bodies on the ground or the murderous aura filling the room. Only at a certain moment did he raise his hand, examine his fingers, and gently curl his knuckles, as if in response to something.

The sound of light footsteps outside the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Elder?"

The young boy delivering the medicine pushed open the door and entered, only to see his elder lying on the ground. Startled, he dropped the bowl of medicine he was carrying and knelt down before the elder with a thud, crying out, "Elder Wen! Elder!"

The young Daoist prostrated himself on the ground and saw a piece of paper peeking out from between the elder's fingers. Trembling, he moved the elder's hand a few inches away and saw a line of blood-red words on the paper. "Confession of Sin."

Below, densely packed, are his confessions of his crimes.

The young Daoist recognized the elder's handwriting; the list of crimes was shocking and appalling.

"This... this is impossible..."

Elder Wen is usually a very easygoing person, how could he be a serial killer?

He was also one of the ten elders of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, with a cultivation level at the early stage of the Mahayana realm. Looking across the entire Cultivation World, who could silently infiltrate his cave abode and kill him?

Just as he was pondering this with growing dread, light footsteps sounded at the door. The young Daoist turned around in alarm and saw Song Wuya, dressed in red, standing at the door. He stammered, "Sect Master, Elder... he's been murdered!"

Song Wuya simply responded with a "Hmm."

Daoist boy. "Pavilion... Pavilion Master?"

Song Wuya: "I have seen it. You may leave."

The young Daoist had no choice but to bow and retreat, puzzled as to why the Pavilion Master showed no surprise whatsoever, seemingly unconcerned about Elder Wen's death...

Song Wuya touched the fire phoenix on his shoulder. "He's been here."

Fire Phoenix hung its head, looking rather uninterested.

A meaningful smile played on Song Wuya's lips. "There's a certain charm to watching prey struggle futilely, already caught in the spider's web."

The phoenix tilted its head and let out a soft cry.

"You want to see Qiaoqiao?"

"We'll see her soon."

Qiaoqiao, who was on the mind of the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, temporarily put aside the matter of the divine sword and waited and waited, until the exciting night finally arrived.

This night was the night when Nangong Gua's power was at its peak. He broke into the prison and took Elder Bing away, revealing his true identity to her. He and Elder Bing then took the last two Saint Pill and ascended together to become a divine couple.

Unlike in the dream, the Pill Furnace beneath Envy Fish City was discovered, forcing the refining of pills to a halt. Does Nangong Gua still possess any pills?

Judging from Liu Xiu's situation, he ate a pill and was resurrected as Devil Creature after death. Meanwhile, Aqi overheard Ning Xuan and Nangong Gua talking about the existence of a true Saint Pill, and that consuming two Saint Pill at the same time would allow one to ascend to immortality.

Putting aside whether the ascension is true or false, even if he had both True Saint Pill, it would only allow him to ascend alone. What use would Elder Bing be to him?

What's with all this talk of living together as a couple? Is he really just having Elder Bing watch him ascend to immortality?

This is interesting.

Unfortunately, she didn't see what happened next in her dream, which is why she was so curious. She wanted to know what Nangong Gua was up to, and that's why she hadn't alerted him, waiting until tonight. And tonight...

"Junior Sister, what are you laughing at?"

Behind the dandelion-covered hillside, the five members of Ethereal Peak arrived. On the surface, it was because their junior sister said there was something exciting to watch, but in reality, they all knew perfectly well what they were there for tonight.

The second senior sister quietly set up an array to conceal the presence of the group.
