First, the various merchants came to denounce her, and finally, hundreds of cultivators were dispatched to apprehend her.
Along the way, Bai Ling truly experienced every imaginable hardship.
She lived like a rat crossing the street, reviled by everyone.
If she hadn't possessed immense mental power and the ability to set up formations, she would have been captured long ago.
Thinking of those fierce faces, Bai Ling completely abandoned any pretense of composure and cried even louder.
"Bai Ling, what happened to you?"
Looking at the person before him, Ao Yuan struggled to connect her with the Bai Ling in his memory and asked with difficulty.
"Wuwuwu, Dragon God, they... they are all bad people!"
Bai Ling continued to weep uncontrollably, then pointed at Bai Feng and a group of Great Xia warriors, gritting her teeth and saying, "They beat me."
"Dragon God, you must do justice for me! Wuwuwu."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Elder Long and Bai Feng coughed a few times, feeling somewhat awkward.
"Dragon God, do you know?"
"I..." Bai Ling sobbed again, tears and snot streaming down her face. "I told them I was your personal disciple."
"But they... but they still kept chasing and attacking me."
"This is simply disregarding your majesty!"
"Do you know me, Dragon God? Since I learned I was in Great Xia, no matter how they attacked me, I didn't retaliate."
"But they still beat me like this, wuwuwu!"
Bai Ling's words were enough to bring tears to the eyes of those who heard them and sorrow to the hearts of those who listened. Elder Long and Bai Feng exchanged glances.
Although they were not present, they could imagine the scene.
The scene when Bai Ling declared herself Ao Yuan's personal disciple.
Would the Great Xia warriors believe her?
Would they?
The answer was obvious.
After all,
Great Xia had such a good relationship with Ao Yuan, yet they had never heard of him having any personal disciples.
At this moment.
Ao Yuan couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he looked at Bai Ling, who was crying hysterically.
Bai Ling's use of his name as a shield was truly too much.
If she had revealed her identity as a beast and stated she was from the Demon Court from the beginning,
Before the Great Xia warriors confirmed her identity, wouldn't they have treated her with utmost respect?
But she had to claim to be his personal disciple.
Such nonsense could only fool the beasts in the Demon Court.
How could anyone else be deceived?
"Bai Ling."
After some thought, Ao Yuan slowly spoke, "I know your suffering."
"So... how do you want to take revenge on them?"
Bai Feng and Elder Long exchanged a look and then sat up straight.
Although the fault did not lie with them, Bai Ling had indeed been bullied.
And Bai Ling had not retaliated against the Great Xia warriors.
Otherwise, with her strength as a demon king, she would have surely annihilated a large number of Great Xia warriors and even civilians.
Both in terms of emotion and reason, Great Xia should indeed provide some form of compensation.
"Hmph!"
When Bai Ling heard this, she immediately became angry.
She quickly shouted, "I... I want that food!"
"Supply me with a hundred skewers every day, no!"
After a moment's hesitation, Bai Ling's eyes rolled, and she glared fiercely at Bai Feng and Elder Long, preparing to ask for the moon. "A thousand skewers!"
*Poof!*
As soon as these words were spoken.
Ao Yuan, Bai Feng, and Elder Long couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" Bai Ling snarled, her face contorted with ferocity.
But combined with her stunning beauty, it had a rather charming and innocent feel.
"What, is Great Xia unwilling to compensate me?"
"Are you looking down on me as a weak woman, thinking I'm easy to bully?"
"Wuwuwu~"
Saying this, Bai Ling started crying again, her voice choked, and she even forced out a tear from the corner of her eye.
"No."
Bai Feng quickly interrupted, suppressing his laughter. "Are you sure you only need this much compensation?"
"Yes!"
Bai Ling nodded heavily.
If they don't agree, I'll cry, make a scene, and hang myself!
Bai Ling thought to herself, tilting her head.
However, she unexpectedly heard the generous voices of Bai Feng and Elder Long.
"This can be agreed upon! I agree!"
"A thousand skewers are too few. I will personally give you another thousand skewers daily!"
Bai Feng and Elder Long spoke one after another, leaving Bai Ling completely bewildered. ???
Seeing no hint of heartache on Bai Feng and Elder Long's faces.
Bai Ling began to doubt if she had asked for too little.
Originally, she thought there would be some negotiation, then a push and pull.
Finally, if she could get five hundred skewers daily, she would be content.
Who knew...
They didn't object at all and even added a thousand to her request!
"Alright!"
Ao Yuan looked at Bai Ling, then flicked his finger, and a silver light landed in her hand.
Ao Yuan said faintly, "This is a beast core. Since Great Xia has compensated you, take this and consume it."
"Hmm~"
Bai Ling nodded, then could only nod.
Although she felt she had asked for too little.
It was still more than she had initially requested.
And receiving a beast core made Bai Ling quite satisfied.
Next.
Bai Feng, Elder Long, Ao Yuan, and the demon kings of the Demon Court clinked glasses and conversed merrily.
At the same time.
This was a sea of lightning filled with the aura of annihilation.
The lightning sea was terrifying, and the streaks of lightning that flashed seemed capable of splitting the heavens and destroying the earth.
Here!
As far as the eye could see, it was desolate and uninhabited.
However.
No one could have imagined that in this place, a disheveled old man was enduring the lightning sea.
Constantly, the flashing lightning launched terrifying attacks upon him.
He remained motionless, and the terrifying lightning striking him caused no harm whatsoever. He didn't even flinch.
The old man closed his eyes. If not for the extremely faint, rhythmic breaths,
No one would have thought this old man was still alive in this world.
Suddenly!
At this very moment.
His tightly closed eyes suddenly snapped open, carrying terrifying electrical currents within them!
Following that, his eyes widened, and the electrical currents within them shot out, causing the surrounding area to be filled with lightning and thunder.
The space was permeated with a vast, world-ending aura.
"Who! Who dares!"
The old man roared repeatedly, "Who dares to kill my subordinates?"
"Blue Star? Could it be that people from other realms have gone to Blue Star?"
"Has the Heavenly Road opened?"
"Very well, no matter who dares to kill my subordinates."
"They will surely die!"
...
The moment his voice fell, he stomped his foot fiercely.
*Rumble!*
The vast lightning sea, as if possessing intelligence, all surged into his eyes.
When it had all converged, his eyes no longer resembled their original appearance.
It was as if his eyes had been transformed into lightning.
Immediately afterward.
His figure flashed and vanished eerily from his original position.
And this was not an isolated incident.
Countless people quietly left their positions, all heading towards a particular area.
However, no one knew where they were going.
...
