Thinking about it that way, it's actually quite possible.

After all, his Guardian Sword Intent was no longer pure; there must be something wrong with his sword heart!

Unfortunately, Elder Liu never got to know the answer. He only knew one thing—that "immortality" was just a lie, and that even without this life, he would still die.

He had clearly been deceived.

He was so unwilling to accept it!

Elder Liu turned into a pool of resentful blood, which gradually dissolved.

Bai Fu stood before the Heaven-Melting Cauldron, his snow-white sleeves hanging down, the icy intent in his eyes even stronger than before. He raised his hand, his fingers long and slender like jade, with pale blue veins appearing, lean yet full of power.

He raised two fingers together, his sword intent gathering at his fingertips just as he was about to unleash it, Heaven-Melting Cauldron suddenly trembled violently. Unprecedented Devil Qi swept through the cave. Accompanied by the pitch-black Devil Qi, a spatial rift suddenly opened above the Heaven-Melting Cauldron -Melting Cauldron, and a huge skeletal hand emerged from the rift, probing into the scorching Pill Furnace.

Bai Fu's expression hardened, and almost simultaneously he drew his sword. His sword intent, as clear as moonlight, instantly severed the bone hand inch by inch. However, the bone hand instantly reassembled and condensed, taking out two golden spirit pills from the Pill Furnace.

The laughter of the owner of the bone hand echoed in the cave, "Bai Fu, you will never beat me."

The laughter sounded somewhat familiar.

Bai Fu remained unfazed and unleashed another sword strike!

The bone hand paused, and a round pill came out of it and rolled to the ground.

At the same time, the forcibly opened spatial rift had reached its limit. The bone hand retracted into the rift, having had a Saint Pill taken from it. He snorted in a deep voice, "You can't win, Bai Fu."

"Qiaoqiao is destined to die; you can't save her."

As the sound dissipated, the terrifying Devil Qi that had enveloped the cave also faded away. Bai Fu picked up the Saint Pill and left the cave without looking back.

As he left, a deafening roar was heard, Heaven-Melting Cauldron collapsed, shattering into dust amidst a cloud of clouds.

As the light of day broke, the figure of the white-robed swordsman gradually disappeared into the distance.

That lonely figure seemed to vanish into the morning light and dew.

His steps, however, were incredibly firm.

He would not back down an inch from saving those he wanted to save, even if it meant defying fate.

In the courtyard of the Envy Fish City Inn, it was already dusk when Qiaoqiao received Bai Fu's message. She had been working on her impromptu painting for a whole day.

By the time she happily announced that the painting was finished, Liu Xiu was already numb.

He had absolutely no desire to know what Qiaoqiao had drawn.

If he had any ideas at all, he wouldn't be completely helpless.

With the Fuxi nearby, he couldn't even move, let alone escape.

The Pure Sage Pearl in Wen Zhi's hand emitted a soft light, illuminating Qiaoqiao's "masterpiece".

Upon seeing this, she couldn't help but chuckle.

He glanced at it again and chuckled.

Liu Xiu:?

This piqued his curiosity. What exactly was drawn? Unfortunately, he had already turned into a paper-like shape, and no matter how hard he tried to turn around, he couldn't see the pattern on his back. He was getting impatient and itching to see it.

Then Wen Zhi say, "Junior Sister, your 'Spring Night Cupping Therapy' is truly a classic, showing the style of a master!"

Liu Xiu:?!

Upon hearing this, his heart sank. He would never forget what happened last night; the cupping was clearly not simple... Could it be that Qiaoqiao had drawn erotic pictures on his back?!

Liu Xiu's piece of paper trembled violently; how could he possibly face anyone like this?!

This is an utter disgrace!

"Don't worry, no one will recognize you like this." As if sensing his thoughts, Qiaoqiao reassured him, "Besides, my painting skills are quite good; many people will definitely come to appreciate them!"

Instead of being comforted, Liu Xiu became even more depressed.

He has this kind of thing painted on his back and expects people to appreciate it? He might as well be dead!

"You, you despicable and shameless!" he couldn't help but curse.

Qiaoqiao tilted her head. "I haven't had ten lovers, nor have I cheated my colleagues, nor have I harmed the people of Envy Fish City. How can I be as despicable as you?"

Puff!

Liu Xiu was so angry that she vomited blood again.

Wen Zhi saw Liu Xiu pick up the painting from the ground, roll it up into the shape of a painting tube, and then tie it tightly with a rope. "Junior Sister, don't waste your breath on such a despicable person. He doesn't deserve it."

"A-Zhi?"

After being rolled up, Liu Xiu's voice sounded muffled, filled with disbelief, "A-Zhi, how could you betray me!"

I can't believe Wen Zhi has changed her attitude towards him like this.

I used to admire him a lot and had a lot of feelings for him!

"A-Zhi, mmm!"

One Silencing Technique, and the world became quiet.

"Junior Sister, what do you want to do with him?" Wen Zhi asked.

"Hmm..." Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, "We're going to participate in the sect competition soon, so I'll take him with me. I want more people to appreciate my paintings!"

Wen Zhi smiled, pursing her lips, "Okay."

She found an empty storage ring and stuffed Liu Xiu inside. As for why she didn't put it with other things, she was afraid it would dirty her own things.

Just as Liu Xiu was settled, the Jade Slip flashed. She picked it up and looked at it, exclaiming in surprise, "Junior Sister, Master said he has business to attend to in Heavenly Secrets City Heavenly Secrets City and will meet us there."

Qiaoqiao's eyes lit up. "Great!"

She hadn't been out for long, but it felt like she hadn't seen her master in ages. And he had actually missed such exciting gossip from Envy Fish City! She had to tell him!

"Junior sister..." Wen Zhi hesitated, "Aren't you afraid of Master?"

"Afraid?"

While the fact that her master was coming to Envy Fish City was certainly something to look forward to, Wen Zhi felt an even greater sense of awe. She was worried about not performing well in front of Immortal Venerable Wanghan and disappointing him, and she was also a little afraid of his cold aura. Upon learning that her master was coming, an invisible tension and pressure immediately arose.
