Chapter 239 The Past is Like Smoke and Dust
"Do you want to scream?"
Bai Zhi suddenly pouted and looked angry.
"not called!"
Du Fang was not in the mood and refused directly.
"Then I'll jump off the sword and die!"
Bai Zhi simply turned sideways and jumped off the sword. Du Fang immediately pulled her up and held her tightly in his arms, staring at this familiar yet unfamiliar face without saying a word.
After a long time, a sentence came:
"Are you really my senior sister, Li Qingshuang?"
Bai Zhi didn't reply to her. Her eyes were suddenly filled with mist, and her fair lips slowly opened:
"Lingxiao Mountain, in the pavilion on the back hill, since your second year as a student, you've loved sitting there alone and watching the sunset. Back then, I was behind you, watching your back for six years..."
She gently touched Du Fang's face.
"Back then, I was Lingxiao's youngest genius, a gifted soul from the Purple Spirit Tower, and a figure said to be able to enter the Ninth Realm. Do you remember when you brought back the Green Embryo and I brought back the remains of the Mysterious Woman? That's the body you have now!"
"Remember, you said!"
"That corpse of the Mysterious Woman is the corpse of my master, your Uncle Xuanzhen. She originally instructed me to go to Longyuan and become a menial disciple. I didn't know it at the time. It was Master Baihuang who deliberately wanted me to steal it. Moreover, she planted a spiritual Gu on the Mysterious Woman's bones. From the moment my hands were contaminated by the corpse, it had already begun to corrode my soul!"
Du Fang shuddered. He had never expected that Bai Zhi had thought so deeply about her original plan.
Bai Zhi looked bewildered and said quietly:
"In the Human Emperor's Tomb, this Spirit Gu wants to use your body to take the Human Emperor's Sword and reveal the secret that has been buried for thousands of years."
Du Fang's expression suddenly became painful, and he immediately remembered what happened at the beginning.
When Chang Qingzi pulled him into the Bronze Immortal Palace, Li Qingshuang followed the coffin and flew directly into the world of the picture.
"So...you..."
"At that time, I was steadfast in my thoughts and separated from you, carrying this spiritual insect with me. I didn't want you to be infected and become like me. You are Lingxiao's hope, a body of immortality. I will not allow it, and my master will not allow hundreds of years of hard work to be destroyed in an instant..."
"So I left you... I originally wanted to die together, but after we separated, the spirit insect fell into a deep sleep. When I saw you again, you were already carrying the sword aura of the divine sword. The spirit insect could no longer possess you, until the battle between you and Lord Baihuang at Lingxiao Mountain..."
Du Fang trembled and said, "You used your body to block my sword, is it because of this spirit insect?"
Bai Zhi's face was filled with sadness:
"Yes, Lord Baihuang separated one of her three spirits and seven souls into this poisonous insect. When Lord Baihuang was attacked, the insect possessed her consciousness and naturally died in her place, resisting your devastating immortal sword intent..."
"So, your spirits can naturally fuse through this insect?"
"You're so smart, you guessed everything!"
A trace of relief flashed across Baizhi's face.
"The woman you see in front of you is your senior sister. She is half my soul and half the soul of Lord Baihuang. That's why you feel that sometimes they don't look alike! And sometimes they look very similar!"
Her face was sad:
"But I don't want this to happen. I'm neither the Li Qingshuang of the past nor the ambitious Lord Baihuang. You've crippled this body. Lord Baihuang knows there's no hope of revenge in this lifetime. He'd rather his soul be shattered than live in humiliation any longer..."
"So I... your senior sister, the one from Lingxiao Mountain, was able to control this body and block that sword for you. If it were Master Baihuang, do you think she would risk everything and use her own life and property to exchange for an arm for you?"
Du Fang bit his lip softly, feeling touched, and hugged her tighter:
"That soul-stripping old man from Lancang Mountain took away the poisonous insect, and Lord Baihuang's spirit was shattered. But our spirits and souls have been fused together for a long time, and our flesh and blood have long been connected. Look at me now, I'm naturally different from Li Qingshuang from Lingxiao Mountain, but I don't want to be like this either. I have no choice!"
Baizhi sobbed softly, her shoulders shrugging.
Du Fang comforted softly:
"I understand. I wronged you before!"
Bai Zhi suddenly asked, "Then can you not go to Jinghai? No outsider has been able to leave there for over five thousand years. If you go in now...what if..."
Du Fang shook his head slowly and firmly:
"No, I have to go. My friend has become disabled because of me, and all my relatives in the sect have been destroyed. If I don't go, I will have to live with guilt for the rest of my life!"
"I knew I couldn't persuade you..."
Bai Zhi sighed sadly:
"That's why I want to follow you and help you find that Primordial Divine Sword. I have a method in my mind to cultivate a ninth-order sword spirit. When you hold a true ninth-order sword spirit, I won't stop you wherever you go!"
Du Fang hugged her silently. This woman who made him feel distressed, even though she was disabled by him, still cared about his safety and was afraid that he would fall into danger.
In this world, besides the senior sister in front of me, is there anyone else who cares about me?
Du Fang sighed inwardly.
The sect was destroyed, the senior brother died, and the only remaining Lingxiao flesh and blood was the girl he was holding tightly in front of him.
Bai Zhi's body trembled slightly in his arms.
"Junior brother, can you promise me one thing?"
Bai Zhi's voice was faint and gentle again.
Without waiting for his answer, she said, "Can you promise me that no matter where you go in the future, don't leave me behind? I'm completely useless now. No matter where I go, I'll be bullied..."
The tighter Du Fang hugged her, the more he blamed himself for wanting to keep her.
"No... No... No matter where we go, I will always take you with me!"
At this moment, the relationship between the two seemed to be much closer, and Bai Zhi's words from the heart completely brought the two hearts closer.
I only heard her say faintly:
"I'm your senior sister, so naturally I have to help you get revenge. Let's go find Long Xiong now and avenge your father!"
"Where would he be now?"
Du Fang was so excited that his whole body was shaking. He would never let this real murderer of his father go even if he fled to the ends of the earth.
Bai Zhi closed her eyes silently and felt it for a while.
"A stable outside Quzhou City!"
Du Fang was surprised. "How could he be there? In Quzhou City, there are Ninth Realm masters from the Tiannan Sword Sect and the Guiyuan Sword Sect, as well as Su Shang, the Great Pillar of Zhengyang Continent. If he has lost his mind, wouldn't the magic sword have been taken away long ago?"
"No!" Bai Zhi said calmly.
"why?"
"Because he is a dragon, no one dares to easily take the things of the dragon!"
Du Fang was confused again. He had heard too many new words that day, such as "dragons" and "celestial dragons".
"Is there anything special about the Dragons and the Celestial Dragons?"
Baizhi smiled, her smile was as beautiful as a blooming spring flower, as if she was mocking his shallowness.
"Of course there are. The people of the Tianlong clan call themselves the sons of the Heavenly Emperor and are in charge of everything in the world. The Tianlong people command the Celestials, and the Celestials command the Dragons. Don't underestimate this organization. The Dragons alone are much more powerful than ordinary sword sects."
"This time we go, we can only take it by wits, not by force. If we are targeted by the Celestial Dragons, we will never be able to live in peace for the rest of our lives!"
"Is it so powerful? Could it be another false rumor?" Du Fang still didn't believe it and thought she was exaggerating.
"He's just that strong. There are many hidden talents in Quzhou City. It would be best if we could lure him away before killing him!"
Bai Zhi gritted her teeth and said nothing, her teeth chattering. That day at Longyuan Sacred Mountain, Du Fang defeated her head-on with sword against sword, and she had nothing to say. But Long Xiong, who ate their Longyuan Sword Sect and used their Longyuan Sword Sect, and who was her protector and the head master of the sect, did not help her in the end, but instead became a traitor who fled from the battlefield.
Baizhi can tolerate all of these.
Even understandable.
But the scene that made her want to kill him the most and grit her teeth was the humiliation and disgust when Long Xiang's yellow teeth kissed her lips again and again and his rough hands reached into her clothes.
This man, this dragon named Long Xiang, not only took away the two magic swords when she was exhausted and became a cripple, but also hugged her slender waist.
Abuse at will.
This is no longer the elder I once was.
In front of Bai Zhi, there was that horrible and ugly face again, rubbing against her face constantly.
