Chapter 849
To treat a Saint as a servant, scolding them at will.
This is far too bold.
Lin Xia's audacious words and manic actions had refreshed her perception time and time again.
She did not know what exactly gave Lin Xia such confidence; was she not afraid of the Saint's wrath?
Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Muxue turned to ask Bai Muyu:
"Sister, what is the situation in Qingqiu exactly?"
"Rare, indeed. You've finally remembered the safety of our clansmen."
"I thought that since you found a sweetheart, you'd even forgotten about Mother."
Bai Muyu said with a huff, stretching out her two fair, slender hands to knead Bai Muxue's cheeks, molding them into various shapes.
A blush rose once more on Bai Muxue's beautiful face. Tilting her head, she forcibly broke free from Bai Muyu's devilish claws and pinched Bai Muyu's arm twice.
"Hateful! You only know how to tease me."
"Sister, tell me quickly, how is Qingqiu doing?"
"Qingqiu has our clan's great experts holding the fort, so it is safe for now, but it may soon fall into danger."
Bai Muyu sighed leisurely, her expression turning somewhat grave.
"Why?"
Bai Muxue's expression changed, and she asked, somewhat puzzled:
"Haven't these demons all been dealt with?"
Bai Muyu explained:
"The number of demons that descended upon the Qingqiu Divine Realm is vast; it is even possible that it is an entire demon army."
"They clearly came prepared this time, with a scheme in mind."
"Although they are trying their best to hide their tracks, Mother still managed to discern it through the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror."
"After descending upon the Qingqiu Divine Realm, they did not rush to attack Qingqiu, but instead scattered to various parts of the world, descending upon major ancient lands."
"Mother sensed the danger, which is why she ordered me to come and notify Immortal Venerable Luoli, so that he could be prepared, but I did not expect that I would still be a step too late."
Bai Muxue asked hurriedly:
"Then what about Mother? How is she now?"
"After Mother sensed the demons' movements, she joined many of our clan's great experts to repair the damaged Nine-Fold Origin-Returning Array and laid down layers of restrictions to seal off Qingqiu."
Bai Muyu said with a heavy tone:
"However, these demons are planning something significant."
"Once they sweep through the various ancient lands, they will likely move directly against Qingqiu."
"By then, even if the array is repaired, I fear it will be difficult to withstand the demons."
Bai Muxue's pretty face turned pale; the tragic scene from when the ancient land was trampled last time surfaced in her mind again.
"Then what should we do?"
"Little girl, do not worry. This seat is willing to go to Qingqiu to help you sweep away these demons."
Zhunti said in a gentle voice.
Bai Muyu was overjoyed and said gratefully to Zhunti:
"Many thanks, Saint."
"If the Saint can help our clan resolve this crisis, the entire Qingqiu clan will be grateful for the Saint's great virtue."
In Bai Muyu's view, no matter how powerful these demons were, they could absolutely not contend with a Saint.
As long as Zhunti agreed to help, the crisis would be easily resolved.
"The blood stained on the demons' hands is countless; their killing karma is deep, and their sins are monstrous."
"If they are allowed to act recklessly, the entire Honghuang will fall into a catastrophe."
"Even for the sake of all living beings in Honghuang, this seat must exterminate them."
Zhunti's tone was resonant.
His voice was like piercing metal and shattering stone, deafening to the ears.
His expression was solemn, revealing an appearance of compassion, a complete contrast to his lecherous look just moments ago.
He radiated a sense of righteousness from the inside out.
For a moment, Bai Muxue, Bai Qinger, and the others were stunned.
A sense of admiration welled up within them.
They looked at Zhunti as if they were looking at a master from beyond the world.
They felt that the other party's figure was exceptionally tall and majestic.
Especially the compassionate and holy aura emanating from him, which was truly moving.
For a time, the impression the women had of Zhunti changed drastically.
Even Bai Muyu, who had seen quite a bit of the world, was fooled by Zhunti.
This Saint not only had a good temper but also possessed a heart of compassion for all living beings.
Among those present, only Lin Xia remained indifferent.
Zhunti's bit of acting could only fool these little girls who hadn't seen much of the world.
If he were truly compassionate, all living beings in this world would become good people.
He had long since seen through the other party's heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.
The reason Zhunti decided to go to Qingqiu to suppress the demons was entirely because Lin Xia was going too.
He was simply looking for an excuse to follow Lin Xia.
Following by Lin Xia's side, regardless of whether he could revive the Western Sect, at least his safety was guaranteed.
Besides, he could also take the opportunity to sweep away a wave of demons and vent his anger; why not?
"Fellow Daoist, the Qingqiu Divine Realm is currently filled with demons and is extremely dangerous."
"On this journey, you must stay close to me; I will protect you well."
With Zhunti's guarantee, Bai Muyu felt at ease. The gloom in her heart vanished, her mood became bright, and she looked at Lin Xia with a beaming smile.
Zhunti's mouth twitched violently.
Protecting Lin Xia? Nüwa and Houtu probably wouldn't dare to say such things.
The young people nowadays are too fierce.
Why don't you say you want to maintain the order of the Honghuang world?
Truly, the ignorant are fearless.
"Alright, I shall trouble you, Fellow Daoist."
Lin Xia's mouth curled up slightly, finding it exceptionally interesting.
Bai Muyu couldn't help but feel her heart jump violently again.
She felt that in the face of this smile, heaven and earth would lose their color.
Help!
How can he be so good-looking!
It was the first time Bai Muyu realized.
This youth was more like a fox spirit than she was.
Her own charm skills were nothing compared to Lin Xia's smile.
Bai Muyu forcibly composed her expression, silently recited the Dao Heart Protection mantra three times, and ran the Heart-Clearing and Spirit-Calming Art once more, only then calming the ripples in her heart.
A fair, tender, and smooth hand reached out, grabbed Lin Xia's hand, and headed toward Qingqiu.
Although Bai Muyu's small action was very swift and concealed, it was still captured by the sharp-eyed Bai Muxue.
A pair of lively, beautiful eyes immediately brimmed with cold light.
"Sister, why are you running so fast? Wait for me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Muxue turned into a stream of light and chased after them.
At this moment, in the center of the Qingqiu Divine Realm, above the endless firmament, it had long been shrouded in terrifying black light.
Above Qingqiu, demonic energy surged, and demon figures as large as primeval divine mountains stood in the clouds.
They were strange in shape, hideous and terrifying.
Their figures were like mountains, shadowy and flickering, obscuring the radiance of the stars.
The entire Qingqiu was shrouded in huge shadows.
