At the mont of Han Kun's death, it was as if a tiny sound that was barely noticeable rang out; if one didn't listen carefully, it would easily be overlooked.
A mont later, from the direction of the fifth Immortal Mountain, a terrifying aura reached an extre.
Yet, Chu Le'er revealed a breathtaking smile at the corner of her mouth, seemingly not worried about that terrifying aura, but rather filled with anticipation for what was about to happen.
"Feed this Tian Yuan pill to this boy, then wake him up for . I want him to see everything that's going to happen next without missing a single mont!"
Jin Li trembled as he bent down, his hands shaking as he took the dazzling elixir that Chu Le'er handed to him, and then he slapped it into Xu Fan's mouth, dragging Xu Fan away to hide.
By now, Jin Li was finally beginning to understand what Chu Le'er ant by her strategic plan.
No wonder Chu Le'er, who clearly had the power to destroy the entire Taoist sect alone, laid out such a massive trap step by step. It turned out, Chu Le'er's target was never the Taoist elders and sect leader, but those celestial beings from the Upper Realm!
Chu Le'er wanted to slay the immortal!
Thinking of this, Jin Li trembled violently. It wasn't that Jin Li was not loyal to the Heavenly Witch; it was just that thinking of the Upper Realm, thinking of celestial beings, and recalling that terrifying aura just now made Jin Li's legs tremble greatly.
"Disgraceful!"
Chu Le'er glared fiercely at Jin Li, terrifying him into such a fright that he nearly dropped Xu Fan on the ground.
Fortunately, Chu Le'er didn't do anything to Jin Li, only threatening him for a mont, then smilingly waved her hand, releasing a Jade Silkworm from her arms that fluttered back and forth before eventually drilling into Chu Le'er's body.
In the blink of an eye, Chu Le'er transford back into Bai Ying! Standing before the corpses of four Taoist elders, looking pitiful and trembling, as if filled with fear and helplessness.
At that mont, the terrifying aura from before seed to have confird its direction, rushing rapidly towards the location where Chu Le'er and others were.
Swoosh!
A young Taoist robe-wearing man, with a flowing longsword in hand, instantly appeared in mid-air. Upon seeing the corpses of Fu Qing, the four elders, the young Taoist robe-wearing man's face turned icy cold, and the flowing longsword was unsheathed and held in his hand, cautiously on guard.
His cold gaze swept across, finding only the trembling Chu Le'er and similarly trembling Jin Li standing at a distance, along with Xu Fan, who was unconscious, not yet awake, covered in blood, and in a tragic state.
Standing beside the four Taoist elders, Chu Le'er looked pitiful, and crucially, with only Mysterious Light Realm cultivation level, she clearly couldn't be the one who slain the Taoist sect leader. As for Jin Li and Xu Fan, though they also appeared weak, Jin Li's trembling look and Xu Fan's covered in blood seed extrely suspicious indeed!
In the end, the young Taoist robe-wearing man's cold gaze fixed on Xu Fan and Jin Li. Consequently, Jin Li trembled even more fiercely.
Unexpectedly, after a mont, the young Taoist robe-wearing man took no action, instead taking out a small black box, and spoke softly into it, appearing to report to his superiors. Once done, he shone the box all around.
Clack!
After completing the report, the black box was closed and put away, and the young Taoist robe-wearing man directly ignored the "frail and weak" Chu Le'er, fixing a cold stare on Jin Li, speaking indifferently, "Tell everything you know, and if there's even half a lie, you'll die!"
Jin Li was already trembling fiercely, and this scare from the young Taoist robe-wearing man nearly brought him to his knees.
Unlike Xu Fan, who had once trained in soul cultivation, demon beasts were most sensitive to auras. The young Taoist robe-wearing man was from the Upper Realm, terrifying in cultivation level, surpassing Jin Li by an unknown amount, and under such terrifying pressure, Jin Li's ability to persist without disgrace was already extrely difficult.
"Hmm? Not speaking? Are you seeking death?"
After waiting a mont, still seeing Jin Li not opening his mouth, the young Taoist robe-wearing man's face suddenly contorted, and he unsheathed his flowing longsword, about to strike Jin Li.
However, just at that mont, a burst of giggles suddenly resounded.
"Young sir, you're a bit too hasty. Those two are more cunning than their looks— even the Taoist sect leader fell to their sches! Acting rashly against them, you'll surely suffer."
The young Taoist robe-wearing man was startled upon hearing this, turning his head abruptly, his eyes fixed on Chu Le'er, who suddenly turned coquettish, as if realizing sothing, his expression changing drastically, "This aura... you are a remnant of the Heavenly Witch!"
Chu Le'er, who had been smiling sweetly, turned cold upon hearing the words 'Heavenly Witch remnant', "Being able to recognize the aura of my Heavenly Witch Sect, it seems you participated in the siege against my sect a millennium ago! In that case, killing you won't be unjust..."
Within the charming voice was a chilling coldness; without waiting for the young Taoist robe-wearing man's reaction, she had already reached out with a clawed hand, striking fiercely in his direction!
Crack, crack!
Layers of space shattered, and the young Taoist robe-wearing man's eyes filled with despair, "This is impossible! How can there be such a strong presence in the Lower Realm! Who exactly are you?"
As the space fractured, the young Taoist robe-wearing man was like being grasped by an invisible giant hand, struggling desperately, yet instead of defending with his sword, he quickly reached for the small black box.
Boom!
At the instant the young Taoist robe-wearing man was about to reach the box, Chu Le'er clenched her hand fiercely, causing the space he occupied to shatter directly! The ominous darkness swallowed all traces of the young Taoist robe-wearing man's existence.
Gentle ripples rose, and Scorpion appeared, bowing his head, awaiting orders.
Chu Le'er calmly wiped her delicate hands and spoke lightly, "Just a small lackey, the plan continues."
"Yes!"
With the ripples surging, Scorpion disappeared mysteriously.
Chu Le'er beckoned forth the Jade Silkworm but wasn't in a hurry to transform into Bai Ying's appearance, instead casting a sly glance towards the fainted Xu Fan, "This play, did you enjoy watching?"
"Enjoyed, enjoyed, the sect leader's might, the Heavenly Witch's resurgence, is imminent!" Jin Li assud Chu Le'er was dissatisfied with his performance earlier when facing the young Taoist robe-wearing man, so he nodded repeatedly in agreent, almost prompting Chu Le'er to slap Jin Li flying.
Truth be told, one couldn't entirely bla Jin Li for lacking backbone, as Jin Li initially feared Chu Le'er greatly, and now, having witnessed Chu Le'er swiftly slay an immortal, Chu Le'er appeared almost divine to Jin Li! Under such circumstances, how could Jin Li not be in awe of Chu Le'er?
"I wasn't asking you!" Chu Le'er glared at Jin Li, then smiled slightly at the unconscious Xu Fan, twisting her body as she walked up to him.
The unconscious Xu Fan twitched his lips.
