Chapter 45

When Bai Jingchen was thinking deeply about the doubts about this matter, someone patted him on the shoulder, which brought him back from his thoughts.

He frowned and looked over, and saw the young man named Nangong Jun. Under his gaze at the moment, he actually had a flattering smile on his face, and said, “Brother Bai, you...how long do you want to stand here.”

Only then did Bai Jingchen come back to his senses, and he said expressionlessly, “What do you plan to do?”

Seeing that Bai Jingchen finally paid attention to him, Nangong Jun said happily, “Well, of course we are going to lure the Blue Iris Snake away, and then you can go to pick the Blue Iris Flower.”

Bai Jingchen became more and more confused. Nangong Jun’s proposal was obviously beneficial to him, but they would suffer a lot of losses, which was completely unfair. Why did he do this?

Although Bai Jingchen was confused, he didn’t want to entangle with these people. He checked the Blue Iris Flower on the cliff with his divine sense, and then looked at the snake caves there, and said, “Since it is cooperation, then I can’t take advantage of you.”

After he said this, he paused for a while, and seeing Nangong Jun looking at him seriously, he regained his composure and continued, “I’m only one person, and my cultivation level is lower than yours, so my threat to those Blue Iris Snakes is relatively small. Therefore, I’ll go up with you, and when you check and attack the Blue Iris Snake, I’ll give you a helping hand. Everyone will fight together and help each other. What do you think?”

Nangong Jun scratched his head when he heard this, and said with a naïve smile on his face, “This is not good. In fact, we originally...”

But his middle-aged housekeeper, that was, the cultivator named Nangong Ding, suddenly interjected, “Young Master, since Cultivator Bai has made a decision, let’s do as he says.”

A trace of reluctance flashed across Nangong Jun’s eyes, but seeing that Bai Jingchen was very persistent and his housekeeper was secretly giving him a meaningful look, he reluctantly said, “Since so, then let’s do it. But Brother Bai don’t get too close to the cliff later, otherwise you will be in danger.”

Bai Jingchen nodded indifferently, and said, “Thank you. I have my own measure.”

Nangong Jun didn’t care about his indifferent attitude at all, instead he stood beside Bai Jingchen with a smile on his face, watching the housekeeper Nangong Ding arrange the staff.

The girl with a crisp voice, Nangong Yi, stood leisurely on the side and kicked the weeds on the ground. She turned her head from time to time, looking at her big brother, smiling at him, and then quickly turning her head away.

Bai Jingchen still had the cold expression on his face, no strangers allowed. He was definitely not like this before, but now he was a little downhearted, so he didn’t have much patience to continue acting.

He calmly observed the behavior of these people, memorized all the doubts about these people in his heart, and planned to wait until he escaped from these people for a while to analyze and compare, seeing if he could figure out their purpose.

He could tell from his appearance that Nangong Ding, who was directing and arranging people, was a decisive person. In fact, it was indeed the case. It only took him a while to arrange everything properly.

As those cultivators who were responsible for protecting the young master and miss of the Nangong clan were all performing their duties, Nangong Ding walked over. Seeing this, Nangong Yi moved to Nangong Jun with a meaningful glance. She pricked her ears and listened to Nangong Ding’s arrangement.

He only heard Nangong Ding say, “Since Cultivator Bai wants to do his part, we will naturally not hinder your actions. But as you can see, your cultivation is much weaker than us. If the Blue Iris Snake bit or attacked you because of insufficient cultivation during the task, it would be our fault. Therefore, in order to ensure the fairness of this cooperation, I hope that Cultivator Bai can do what he can and give a bit of trust to us. We won’t harm you.”

After hearing this, Bai Jingchen seemed to relax his vigilance. He even hooked his lips and said with a smile, “This junior understands.”

Nangong Ding looked at his two masters. Seeing Nangong Jun and Nangong Yi showed a pleasant expression after listening to Bai Jingchen’s words, he shook his head unconsciously and sighed, with a quite helpless expression, and then turned to leave.

So, the matter was roughly settled in this way. They used their divine sense to investigate the cliffs on the mountain, made detailed improvements to the plan, and arranged the personnel. Bai Jingchen and this group had half an hour of meeting, before finally flew with their swords to the vicinity of the snake cave.

Nangong Ding waved to everyone, and the action officially started.

The manpower brought by Nangong Jun was the main force at this moment, facing Blue Iris Snakes that had climbed out of the snake cave and hissed at everyone with keen senses.

The Blue Iris Snake, whose name sounded good and seems completely harmless, was actually a highly poisonous snake that lived in groups. It was fierce in nature, and a small-minded type of snake race that was extremely difficult to deal with.

Bai Jingchen stood behind this group of people, with the smooth-skinned young master and young miss in front of him. At that moment, if it wasn’t because his heart became cold and hard, he would almost moved by their behavior.

Bai Jingchen knew that there must be a purpose if something went unusual, and the attitude and words of these two people also made him wary.

However, he was not in a hurry, and he became very patient at this moment. His goal was the Blue Iris Flower, from beginning to end.

Previously, the reason why he rejected Nangong Jun’s proposal was only because he didn’t want to get involved with them deeper, and most importantly, he didn’t want to owe them favors.

But now, since he had done a very comprehensive job on the surface, he only need to use a small trick secretly to break away from these people completely.

He didn’t want to entangle with these people for the time being. He had to find a safe place to think about the issues he had been avoiding thinking about before.

Su Wenliang’s impatient expression flashed in his mind. It seemed that when he faced himself, Su Wenliang looked impatient most of the time, so when he saw his rare soft and handsome appearance, he would...

Bai Jingchen closed his eyes suddenly and then opened them again. Now was not the time to recall, he had to do as he arranged.

Thinking so, when the surrounding people were busy dealing with the Blue Iris Snake, he suddenly took out a high-grade spiritual tool from his storage bag. After injecting the spiritual energy into it, he took a step forward with the flying sword and pushed away the two people in front of him. He said to Nangong Ding, “I’ll help you. Since we are in a cooperative relationship, I can’t just stand on the side and do nothing.”

Without waiting for Nangong Jun and Nangong Yi to object, he immediately pulled out the sword he specially used for fighting and killing from his waist, and stabbed at the Blue Iris Snake.

His act seemed to be righteous, and it could be regarded as helping one of the blue-clothed cultivators, saving his life. But because of this, he angered the Blue Iris Snake.

Blue Iris Snakes were well known in the entire cultivation world for their protection of their kind and small-minded. The reason why these people spend so much time dealing with Blue Iris Snakes instead of killing them directly was for this reason.

All the cultivators who killed a Blue Iris Snake would leave with a unique pheromone of the Blue Iris Snake. This pheromone was not known to people in the cultivation world, they only know that as long as they kill a Blue Iris Snake, they would be chased to kill by the snakes of this race the next time they encounter the Blue Iris Snake.

Bai Jingchen’s movements were quick, and when Nangong Ding said “no”, the snake had already been pierced by his sword energy and fell directly from the air.

His actions completely angered the snakes that had activated their intelligence. Their hissing became louder and louder, and became more and more rhythmic.

Bai Jingchen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Blue Iris Snakes in front of him, but there was no trace of fear in his heart, as if these snakes were just ants.

Bai Jingchen’s original plan was to kill a Blue Iris Snake and mess up the scene.

Although the Blue Iris Snake had a fierce reputation in the cultivation world, Bai Jingchen was not afraid at all. Moreover, because the place where the Blue Iris Snake lived must be accompanied by Blue Iris Flowers, so he could avoid them in the future when his strength was still weak. After he was strong, he wouldn’t fear these Blue Iris Snakes.

As for the present, provoking the Blue Iris Snake was his first step. He had a high-grade spiritual tool to escape from the snake group. He could definitely break away from this group of secretive people through this method similar to feign death.

Bai Jingchen had such a goal in mind, and after what he doing, he got the effect he expected.

In front of these people of Nangong clan, the Blue Iris Snake suddenly became abnormally united.

Countless Blue Iris Snakes crawled out of the caves. When they thought there were only a few snake caves on the cliff, they saw innumerable of all sizes snake caves suddenly opened on the rock wall.

This was no longer the snake cave, but a real snake mountain!

Everyone was terrified. Nangong Ding gave Bai Jingchen a vicious look and immediately flew to Nangong Jun and Nangong Yi.

Nangong Ding pulled Nangong Yi to escape, but Nangong Jun was unwilling, and still said at the moment, “We can’t let him go. Do you want us to give up halfway? Isn’t that son of a bitch valued him?”

His voice suddenly became extremely cold, as his aura rose sharply, and his face instantly matured, as if he had suddenly grown ten years older.

Nangong Jun walked up to Bai Jingchen step by step. This kind of ability was already the ability of the late-stage Core Formation cultivator. He said, “Since we can’t get him, then destroy him. I think if that is without him, how can that son of a lowly maid fight with me!”

When Bai Jingchen heard this, no matter what he thought in his heart, he smiled calmly. Instead of running away, he took a few steps back and was completely swallowed by Blue Iris Snakes. His whole person was disappeared in the Blue Iris Snake tide.

Seeing this scene, Nangong Jun felt hatred in his heart. He glanced at the Blue Iris Snake Mountain again, then turned around and fled away with the people of Nangong clan.

Bai Jingchen was not dead.

The surrounding snakes were attacking him, but Bai Jingchen let his mind wandering.

Bai Jingchen couldn’t say what he was thinking now, he just felt weary and exhausted.

He leaned in the corner, recalling the changes these days.

Su Wenliang, Liang Wensu, two people, or one person.

Bai Jingchen was hesitating. He hated what Liang Wensu did to the extreme. He was the most hateful person in the world. But Su Wenliang was different. Although he was equally powerful and had the same face, how they did things was completely different.

Bai Jingchen leaned against the rock.

The things that Liang Wensu had done were playing out one by one before his eyes, as if he had seen them with his own eyes.

Bai Jingchen took a deep breath and simply wanted to spit out.

After Liang Wensu returned to the cultivation world, his status in the Devil Palace gradually rose because his cultivation had greatly increased.

Moreover, although they were all devil cultivators, although they were all practice devil cultivation methods, there were differences between them.

Devil cultivation was just a more ruthless means of cultivation. Not all devil cultivators were evildoer and committed any imaginable misdeed.

But Liang Wensu did. After he returned to the Devil Palace, the bloody aura on his body and the resentful aura of killing were enveloped him thickly, like a puff of black mist.

Hearing what he did in the mortal world, even the people of the Devil Palace, who were also devil cultivators, couldn’t help fighting him when they saw Liang Wensu. They were scared that they wished they were transparent.

People were afraid of committing slaughter, even these cultivators, although they didn’t take human life seriously, but a devil cultivator who killed so many people, nearly a million people, was truly extreme.

These killings committed by Liang Wensu, not to mention that the lightning tribulation would definitely kill him when he crossed the tribulation in the future, just right now, because of his means, made everyone felt this person was really ruthless.

They couldn’t be more ruthless than this person, so Liang Wensu gradually took control of this Devil Palace.

He even killed the Lord of Devil Palace, who promoted him over a hundred years ago, and became the Palace Lord himself.

Bai Jingchen hated him to death, because after this man became the Lord of Devil Palace, the entire cultivation world was almost turned upside down by him. How many cultivation clans were wrenched apart, and how many cultivation cities were destroyed by devil cultivators he sent in one day.

The Devil Palace, led by Liang Wensu, had been completely thrown the rule of non-aggression maintaining for nearly 10,000 years in the cultivation world. Liang Wensu’s behavior was a blatant provocation.

After that, in order to protect the cultivation world and seek justice for those innocent people who died tragically, Bai Jingchen couldn’t count how many righteous path cultivators died on this road.

But in the bamboo slip he read, it clearly recorded the cultivators and clans who died at Liang Wensu’s hands.

Such a person, Liang Wensu, had a skin-to-skin relationship with him. As soon as Bai Jingchen thought of his master being such a person, he couldn’t help wanting to split himself in two.

Bai Jingchen wanted to kill him, to avenge those innocent people who died tragically, but he couldn’t do it, and there was a voice in his heart. Even in this situation, he was still interceding for him.

Bai Jingchen knew he was trying to excuse this person.

For the first time, Bai Jingchen hated himself for not being a Buddhist cultivator. If he was a Buddhist cultivator, he could persuade people to be good, and persuade that person to really turn over a new leaf.

Bai Jingchen couldn’t help thinking about every aspect he had with Su Wenliang. At first, he only thought this person was strange and liked men, but after getting along with him, he realized that Su Wenliang had a disease.

He actually didn’t like his touch, but for some reason, he had to do it.

Although Bai Jingchen didn’t remember what happened most of the time, he remembered the man’s frown, which showed that he was also unwilling in his heart. There was joy in Su Wenliang’s voice, but there was also rejection.

During these days with Su Wenliang, Bai Jingchen had never seen Su Wenliang kill innocent people indiscriminately, and he even had very little time to do it.

Bai Jingchen felt that although this person was strange and his methods were ruthless, he was not a bad person.

However, Liang Wensu, Su Wenliang...

The same face, even the time coincides, why a new name appeared, why he survived that crisis, under the interception of so many high-ranking cultivators.

Even in the entire cultivation world, he was the only person who knew he survived.

This person was now sneaked into the Heaven Spread Sect. Besides accepting himself as a disciple, what purpose does he have?!

Bai Jingchen was at a loss and couldn’t figure it out. The snakes outside made threatening gestures, so Bai Jingchen could only hide in a safer place.
