Chapter 336: Fairy and the Butcher's Knife
Chapter 336: Fairy and the Butcher's Knife
From the depths of the Tongbo Sect, rays of angry and frustrated spiritual light flew out.
Ahead of many pursuers, Qin Baiqing and his companion rode away, passing through the space-time rifts that had been prepared long ago, leaving everyone far behind, and they could not catch up.
Even after running far away, I could still hear the occasional angry roar coming from behind me.
After shaking off the pursuers, Qin Baiqing and his companion turned back to the place where they had agreed to meet with Princess Qingming. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Fairy Guanghan was brought out safely.
Now that we have witnesses, we can definitely clear the injustice.
"On our way to find you, we met your junior sister Chan Zheyue."
Qin Baiqing told Fairy Guanghan everything that happened after she met Chan Zheyue on the road, and frankly admitted that Chan Zheyue did die because of her: "Although she ran into my attack herself, the heavens may regard her death as suicide."
Then he shrugged and reminded Fairy Guanghan:
"Even your disciple sister from Guanghan Palace is willing to die for Duan Yao. I don't know how many people have been infiltrated behind the scenes. Be careful when you go back and don't get caught again."
"Is it Junior Sister...?"
When Fairy Guanghan heard the bad news, she was surprised for a moment, but soon she put away her surprise and sighed lightly: "I should have guessed it was her. She has always been competitive."
It sounded like he was only surprised by Chanzheyue's betrayal, not that he had anticipated Qin Baiqing's reminder.
"Only Guanghan Palace and you guys found my whereabouts. It only took me two hours to go back and forth to find you that day. The news must have been leaked from within. Duan Yao has indeed planted spies in Guanghan Palace."
"So that's how it is. I'm glad you know it." Qin Baiqing nodded, and then lost interest in the topic.
Fairy Guanghan stayed where she was, overlooking the unstable sacrificial formation in Tongbo Sect, her tone tinged with genuine hatred: "He took the sacrifice today, which means he is determined to follow the old path of the Dragon King. We can't keep him here any longer."
"He's right here. Since the opportunity is good now, why not just capture Duan Yao?"
The boldness she displayed while speaking was somewhat inconsistent with her aloof and cold temperament. Qin Baiqing seemed to see a fairy who was not involved in the worldly affairs suddenly picking up a butcher knife.
Her eyes lit up, and she liked Fairy Guanghan even more. She nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, or we can just get rid of Duan Yao!"
"Do not."
Feng Budu had already explored the Tongbo Sect when Fairy Guanghan proposed it. At this moment, he withdrew his consciousness and shook his head, saying, "Duan Yao is no longer in the sect. His aura has disappeared."
The escape was as clean and neat as ever.
"Run away again?!" Qin Baiqing wailed in disappointment, looking at Fairy Guanghan eagerly, his hands unable to hold back the urge to attack.
And Fairy Guanghan did not disappoint her.
"No," she shook her head slowly, a streak of light appeared from her fingertips, and she said disdainfully while fiddling with her fingertips: "Duan Yao intended to cast a forbidden spell on me, so as to track me down once and for all, but unfortunately... he is just a fool."
Today, after confirming with her own eyes that Duan Yao was beyond redemption, Fairy Guanghan finally revealed some of her cold and mean nature, with a hint of sarcasm at the corners of her fair lips.
She is essentially as arrogant as Princess Qingming.
It’s just that humans and demons have different moral paths. Ever since she entered the Tao, she has suppressed her original heart. If she wants to practice the great way, she naturally has to cut off her anger, ignorance and other distracting thoughts, and look down on all living things with compassion.
But now, having been angered by Duan Yao several times, Fairy Guanghan was no longer polite to him.
She laughed bluntly, "He wanted to cast a spell on my body, but I changed it to a two-way spell, so I can feel Duan Yao's presence at all times." So she said with certainty, "Duan Yao must still be here waiting for an opportunity. I will find his whereabouts right now."
The cold moonlight spread out, and Fairy Guanghan loosened her fingertips. The thin thread that was in resonance with Duan Yao was infinitely stretched, and the end shot straight in one direction.
She then held the thin thread in her hand firmly in front of Qin Baiqing: "Follow the guidance of the soul spell, and at the end is Duan Yao's hiding place. Don't worry, he won't sense that we are looking for him."
"After the soul spell stops, it will stay beside Duan Yao. If we go in his direction, it may arouse his vigilance, so we need your help."
That is why Fairy Guanghan handed one end of the soul spell to Qin Baiqing.
"I understand." Qin Baiqing made a "no problem" gesture and said with a smirk, "I'll teleport directly in front of him and see how he tries to escape this time."
There was a subtle movement from the soul spell, and Qin Baiqing was alerted. She sensed a faint hidden breath along the soul spell, and became more certain that Duan Yao was there.
So he tore open the space without hesitation and subconsciously teleported in front of Duan Yao.
The moment the space in front of him began to fluctuate, Duan Yao realized that something was wrong.
After he realized that his hiding was meaningless, he wanted to escape again, but it was too late. Qin Baiqing and Feng Budu attacked him from the front and back, blocking his retreat, and then pressed on step by step to trap Duan Yao in the middle.
Duan Yao also reacted after a brief panic.
He said nothing, his expression remained unchanged, and he counterattacked without warning, bypassing Feng Budu and attacking Qin Baiqing directly. His attack was a ruthless killing move, mobilizing all his skills.
But Qin Baiqing remained unmoved. She stood calmly in place and performed the space technique again. After grasping all the space in front of her in her hands, the moment Duan Yao stepped in, he fell into Qin Baiqing's trap.
Behind him, Feng Budu was following closely with even more fierce murderous intent.
The two men attacked almost at the same time. Duan Yao had no time to react. He raised all the defensive barriers on his body in vain, with fear in his eyes.
"Master, be careful!"
Unexpectedly, the group of elders who were left far behind by Qin Baiqing appeared in time at this critical moment and rescued Duan Yao from the double attack.
"You're lucky!" Qin Baiqing angrily withdrew the space restraints.
This time she no longer used space to deal with Duan Yao. There were too many people on the opposite side, and it was too troublesome to detain them one by one.
Instead, he remembered what Fairy Guanghan once said, that Duan Yao had a fatal point on his body.
Qin Baiqing had already made preparations for this. She immediately took out the soul-catching bell specially made for Duan Yao and chased him relentlessly, specifically targeting Duan Yao's weak spot where he had been seriously injured and unable to recover, and shocked him so much that he had no power to fight back.
He could only passively hide behind many elders and rely on the barrier they set up to barely maintain the stability of his soul.
Qin Baiqing was confident of victory and chased Duan Yao relentlessly until they were out of the Tongbo clan's territory. Duan Yao, who had been concentrating on dodging, suddenly changed his attitude and laughed triumphantly:
"I just made you feel proud for a long time, but I don't know if you can still laugh now."
"What do you mean? What tricks are you playing?"
"I'm just forcing you to use the Space Technique," Duan Yao was in a state of shock, his face was grim with pain, but he still insisted on showing off:
"It was this space technique that fooled so many people on the snowy plains and ice lakes that day. Now that you have used it, does that mean you admit that you took the Goddess's Tears? Do you think those people will let you go?"
