Everyone saw that the stream of light land in Qiaoqiao's hand.
That's Divine Sword! How could it fall into the hands of a mere Golden Core cultivator? What a waste!
Now that they have seen it, they are qualified to obtain the Divine Sword.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the storage ring in Qiaoqiao's hand. Such a divine weapon, whoever snatches it gets to keep it!
Hundreds of people swarmed forward, like locusts attacking.
At this rate, even the Slaughter Sword wouldn't be able to kill so many in one go! Xiao Tingyu gritted her teeth and was about to activate the sword formation again when a strange blue light suddenly emanated from beneath her.
The blue light enveloped everyone from Ethereal Peak, and she exclaimed in surprise, "An array?!"
This isn't a formation she set up!
In an instant, they were swallowed up by the formation. Xiao Tingyu's vision went black, and before she was taken away, she only saw the people rushing towards her miss and get completely disoriented.
Where is this formation leading them?
drop.
The sound of water droplets falling into the deep pool suddenly startled her awake.
Opening their eyes, they found themselves surrounded by darkness, with only a dim light filtering in. They could barely make out that they seemed to be in a cave, with a chilling underground river running alongside them.
The sound of dripping water is the sound of water droplets gathered by the stalagmites above falling into the river.
This place... seems to be underground.
She looked around. Wen Zhi and Fu Fengyuan next to her, and several elders of the Xiao Household were gathered together, whispering among themselves.
Not far away, the junior sister lay in the white-robed man's arms, her brows relaxed, as if she were asleep.
They were far from the crowd, leaning against the stone wall. The master looked down intently at Qiaoqiao. From this angle, his long eyebrows reached his temples, his profile was handsome, and his eyes held a gentleness that his disciples had never seen before.
Xiao Tingyu's mind stirred.
She subconsciously looked at Wen Zhi, many words stuck in her throat, unsure of which to say.
Wen Zhi shook her head gently at her.
She had no choice but to swallow the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
The fourth junior brother sat silently to the side, seemingly somewhat disappointed.
After a moment, Qiaoqiao woke up peacefully.
Her thick eyelashes trembled, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Bai Fu staring intently at her. He had removed his veil, and the dim light of the day made him appear even more ethereal and otherworldly. As the effects of the demon-transforming pill wore off, the plum blossom pattern between his brows was gradually fading, and the rosy hue, like a wisp of cloud, made him even more captivating.
I've always thought my master is very beautiful.
Seeing him so close up, I still couldn't help but be mesmerized.
She reached out and gently touched Bai Fu's brow.
The cave was completely silent; no one spoke.
She grew bolder and gently rubbed her hand with her fingertip. Bai Fu grasped her hand and whispered, "Don't move."
That was a tone of boundless indulgence.
Qiaoqiao blinked again, "Master, you can touch my ears too, they feel really nice."
The cat ears on her head were still there, hidden in her thick, black hair, pointed and very cute.
Bai Fu's breathing became erratic. He put her down, stood up, and went ahead to check the road.
Only then did Xiao Tingyu dare to speak, "Where are we?"
"Young Miss," the Xiao Household elder said, approaching, "We just performed divination and determined that we should be underground directly beneath the Divine Pillar, but we don't know why there's a secret passage underground."
"The Divine Pillar..."
"The Divine Pillar have all collapsed, is it really the end of the world?"
No one could answer her question.
She sighed. "We'd better find a way out quickly."
"What you say is true, young lady."
The group dispersed to find their way, Qiaoqiao secretly took out Zhaowu Mirror and looked at Bai Fu's back in front of her.
"Junior Sister, what are you doing?" Wen Zhi walked over.
"Nothing."
Qiaoqiao quickly hid the mirror, her eyes filled with panic.
In the mirror, the black energy swirling around Bai Fu's body had increased even more, almost threatening to engulf him.
How could this happen?
What can she do to help her master get rid of this evil energy?
Wen Zhi and Xiao Tingyu exchanged a glance, sensing an inexplicably strange atmosphere, and it seemed their master was being unusually friendly towards their junior sister...
"Look, there's a painting here!"
An elder spoke up, and the crowd gathered around.
On the stone wall on that side, there is a long mural. Perhaps due to the passage of time, the colors on the mural are somewhat faded, but it is still possible to make out what it depicts.
Between heaven and earth, the Divine Pillar stands majestically.
A woman dressed in a pale yellow fairy dress appeared in mid-air, holding Divine Lamp that dispelled the darkness in her left hand and a golden longsword in her right, fighting against the Demon God entwined around the Divine Pillar.
The mural depicts a battle witnessed by all living beings in heaven and earth. In the end, the goddess severed the Demon God with a single sword stroke, splitting him in two. The Demon God's ear and left arm fell to earth, and he vanished.

Then, the pillar of heaven collapsed, and heavenly fire poured in through the breach.
The mural depicts a sea of fire.
"This is a legend from ten thousand years ago."
A story familiar to everyone in the Three Realms: In ancient times, Demon God caused chaos, and a goddess descended to the mortal realm to slay the Demon God. However, unexpectedly, the pillar of heaven collapsed, heavenly fire descended upon the world, causing widespread suffering to all living beings in the Three Realms, and the end of the world was nigh.
"Look, there's more at the end!"
On the mural, the Demon God reappeared, taking advantage of the calamities in the human world to wreak havoc in the three realms, slaughtering countless living beings and turning the human world into a purgatory.
"Are Demon God immortal?"
"Look, the goddess has appeared again--"
A flash of sword light appeared.
With a crash, rocks collapsed, and the stone wall in front was struck by Sword Qi, causing the murals to crumble.
