If Xiaoxue knew that the most relaxing time in her life was almost gone, would she still think this was a privilege
"It's fate that we meet, so I'll treat you well." Bai Zhanying walked a few steps closer and raised his hand to ruffle Luo Xue's white hair. "That's how I picked you up that year. At the time, you were in swaddling clothes that were not even as big as an arm, but in the blink of an eye, you've grown into a big child."
In terms of age, Bai Zhanying is actually old enough to be Luo Xue’s great-grandmother.
However, after years of living together, they are more like elder sister and younger sister.
"I don't remember..."
Luo Xue said guiltily.
She couldn't tell whether the Luo Xue in these twelve years was her or someone else.
This is why such questions are raised.
But is the elder sister taking revenge on me for touching her head just now? Why does she keep touching me...
Bai Zhanying sighed, but her hands did not stop moving. Luo Xue even felt that a large clump of her hair had been lost by her.
Fortunately, the next moment, the sect’s message came from thousands of miles away.
The wave of the communication technique formed around, and then a shadow in a long robe appeared.
It was the current leader of Juexiao Sect, Zou Junxin.
"Zhan Ying, come to the teahouse at Xiaoming Peak as soon as possible for a meeting... What are you guys doing?" Zou Junxin looked at the scene in confusion.
"Ahem, it's okay." Bai Zhanying quickly withdrew his hand, "Sect Master, why are you so anxious?"
Zou Junxin immediately straightened his face and said in a deep voice,
"Zhan Ying, the thing we were worried about finally happened."
As if considering Luo Xue was nearby, Zou Junxin did not say it clearly.
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhanying's pupils shrank slightly, and his expression became solemn.
"Really?"
"You can take a look yourself first. I have called the other peak masters to discuss it later."
As soon as the words were spoken, the communication spell dissipated.
Then a dark red sword dart appeared out of thin air and fell to the ground with a clang.
Bai Zhanying picked it up, and the sword dart instantly turned into a bloody envelope, which was evil and shocking.
"What's this?"
Luo Xue looked over curiously.
Bai Zhanying immediately put it away and looked at Luo Xue with a serious face.
"You can't look at it."
"All right."
Luo Xue had no choice but to sit back obediently.
She still has to listen to what the senior sister says.
Bai Zhanying picked up the letter again, read it for a few seconds, sighed deeply, and his face was full of worry.
"You stay at home and try to master the art of stealing the sky and changing the day before you ascend to the Immortal Gate. I have to go out for a while."
Bai Zhanying gave some instructions and hurried out the door.
Luo Xue watched her back as she walked away, brows furrowed, the stunning glimpse just now flashing through her mind.
"It looks like a weird letter, but unfortunately I can't see what's inside... It seems to be signed..."
"It seems to be called... Yinling Temple?"
... ... .
Juexiao Sect’s Xiaoming Peak, the tea-brewing pavilion.
This is a quiet little attic, which looks ordinary from the outside, but it is the place where the top leaders of Juexiao Sect hold secret meetings and discussions, and it has the highest level of confidentiality techniques.
The masters of the two peaks, the grand elder of the Law Enforcement Hall, and Bai Zhanying sat in four seats, while the sect leader Zou Junxin had his back to everyone.
The leader of Hanling Cliff Peak was a middle-aged man who looked quite steady. The leader of Mingshuijian Peak was wearing a black robe and his face could not be seen clearly. The chief elder of the Law Enforcement Hall looked a little old and was resting with his eyes closed.
Bai Zhanying who just came here replaced her master, the Venerable Luo Huaxin, and it has been like this for all these years.
"Four... Oh no, the three peak masters, and Zhan Ying, when was the last time we got together like this?"
Zou Junxin turned around and sat opposite the four people.
"Three years ago." The Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall opened his eyes and said in a deep voice.
"It's rare that we got together twice in three years for the same thing."
Zou Junxin smiled slightly and looked towards Bai Zhanying who seemed a little absent-minded.
"What's wrong, Zhan Ying?"
Chapter 49 This person... Acquired Killing Foundation
"Sorry, Sect Master, I was just distracted." Bai Zhanying quickly saluted.
"Don't be so restrained, Zhan Ying. We are all old guys, and the sect will still rely on you in the future." Zou Junxin showed a kind and gentle smile, "Among the new generation, you may not be the most capable fighter, but you are the one we are most satisfied with."
The others did not refute it because it was the fact.
If nothing unexpected happens, the next master of Luohuatian Peak will be Bai Zhanying.
As the master of a peak, strength is certainly one aspect, but what is more important is how to behave in the world - this is the painful lesson that the current and soon-to-be predecessor of Luohuatian Peak, Luo Huaxin, brought to them.
And in this regard, Bai Zhanying is the best.
More importantly, Luo Huaxin... is an outsider after all, and she became "Reverend Luohua" just because of a transaction.
"Thank you for the compliment, Master."
Bai Zhanying calmed himself down, put the little incident that had just happened with Luo Xue behind him, and became serious.
"That's good," Zou Junxin nodded, his expression becoming more serious. "I believe you have all seen the letter, the declaration of war from the Yinling Temple."
As soon as this matter was mentioned, the atmosphere in the tea house became quite tense.
"Was it from that saint?"
Xi Xiaofeng, the leader of Hanling Cliff Peak, spoke up, a hint of worry showing in his usually stern expression.
"Well, the descendant of the Dark Phoenix who was accepted as a saint by the Yinling Temple three years ago, even at the age of less than half a century, actually possesses a strength close to the Jindan stage..."
Zou Junxin sighed, "I can't believe where this peerless genius from the Demon Abyss came from..."
The Immortal Realm and the Demonic Abyss have been in confrontation for tens of thousands of years.
For a long time, the two sides had been fighting and stopping.
The great war between immortals and demons took up most of the time, and the only peaceful time was also full of confrontation.
Although the Fairyland and the Demonic Abyss have been at peace for a thousand years, secret battles are still inevitable.
Both sides have undercover agents on the other side and are extremely familiar with each other.
Whenever a peerless genius emerges, the other party will know about it immediately, unless this peerless genius has no support from any force and emerges from seclusion in the mountains and becomes the best in the world.
... This mysterious temple saint is like this.
It was as if he appeared overnight, and as soon as he appeared, he had the foundation-building cultivation level, and seemed to be invincible.
"What's even more terrifying is that this Saint of the Temple is so ruthless that she doesn't even hesitate to attack her own family members."
The Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall said in a deep voice, "It is rumored that after the Holy Son's lineage was massacred three years ago, the temple has not appointed a new Holy Son because the Holy Lady took action herself."
"Not only that, this saint has many strange habits... Every time she defeats someone, she always belittles that person for being ugly..."
The black robe whispered.
Everyone looked over at the same time, and the man in black robes had a rather helpless tone.
"Don't look at me like that. These are all news from the Demon Abyss spies. I don't know whether they are true or not."
"In short, the Saintess of the Temple has issued a declaration of war to all the younger generations these days. Not long ago, the Tianji Pavilion suffered a great defeat and lost all face."
Zou Junxin took a deep breath and said, "Juexiao Sect can lose, but... we shouldn't lose too badly, right?"
"... Sect Master, this is difficult to handle." The Great Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall shook his head and continued, "Not to mention this batch of disciples who ascended to the Immortal Gate, the last batch, including the batch before that, didn't even have a single disciple who touched the foundation-building stage."
"The only peerless genius in the Immortal Realm who can rival this woman is the peerless swordsman who struck the abyss with one sword three thousand years ago." Xi Xiaofeng sighed, "It's a pity that the sect at that time wanted to erase all traces of this swordsman, and in the end, not even his name was left."
"In my opinion, for at least the next thousand years, no genius who can rival her will emerge in either the Immortal Realm or the Demon Abyss," declared the Grand Elder of the Law Enforcement Hall.
"No..."
The man in black robe spoke again.
Everyone turned their eyes again.
"Don't keep looking at me like that. I'm wearing a black robe because I'm not used to being looked at..."
The black robe said helplessly.
The master of Mingshuijian Peak was seriously injured in his early years, and his face was completely destroyed, and he has not recovered until now.
From then on, he was always covered in a black robe, and no one could remember whether the black robe belonged to him or her.
Everyone had no choice but to look away, and then the man in black robe continued,
"The Saint of the Temple once revealed that the reason she wanted to challenge all the new generation disciples was because she was looking for someone."
"Find someone who can be more talented than her."
"This person...is a post-natal killer who has established his foundation."
Having said that, even Hei Pao himself couldn't help himself.
Others were even more shocked and found it ridiculous.
"The acquired killing foundation, this foundation is waiting for the acquired killing, even if it kills for three to five years, it still can't break the spiritual power protection, right?"
Xi Xiaofeng's face was full of disbelief, and the others had similar expressions.
“It is rare to kill a foundation-building cultivator with a soul-enriching skill. Everyone who can do it is a famous genius of the contemporary era. How can one kill a foundation-building cultivator with a soul-enriching skill?” Bai Zhanying said in a deep voice.
The people on the scene are much older than her, and this is the only time they can get a word in.
"Perhaps it's just an excuse for her arrogance. If there really is such a person, any sect would be willing to accept him as a disciple no matter what the price." Zou Junxin smiled noncommittally and said seriously, "In short, it is estimated that after ascending to the Immortal Gate, the Yinling Temple will come to ask for advice.
"Each peak should go back and gather the geniuses from the previous sessions. They must at least have entered the Soul Condensation Realm, and try to defeat them gracefully."
At the end, Zou Junxin couldn't help but sigh.
Things have come to this point, and no one is helpless.
I don't even dare to think about winning...
It is conceivable how much pressure this temple saint who appeared out of nowhere brought to the various sects in the fairyland.
"yes."
Everyone got up and left with heavy hearts.
Bai Zhanying is no exception.
But at this moment, Zou Junxin called her,
"Zhan Ying, please stay."
Bai Zhanying was stunned, turned around and saluted,
"Master, what's the matter?"
"We all know the situation of the child you adopted twelve years ago." Zou Junxin said gently, "Zhong Bo has told you many times, I believe you are also very clear about it."
"Disciple understands."
Bai Zhanying didn't look up.
"You are a good child and you know what to do. It is good for you, her, and the sect, so I did not force you to do anything in this matter."
At this point, Zou Junxin changed the subject, "But... we can't keep delaying it, otherwise everyone will suffer."
