Lou Yun watched her, a flash of surprise suddenly appearing in his usually calm eyes. He quickly shifted to the side, but it was too late! The sword energy from the sharp blade of Zhan Hun forcefully cut off a piece of his flesh, and blood sprayed out, flowing down his arm...
The pain made even the powerful Immortal Venerable's face turn pale, and he looked at Jin Bao'er with disbelief, as if he hadn't expected her to actually go through with it!
Yes, he was gambling! Although he had humiliated Jin Bao'er many times because of Su Xianzhi, he hadn't done anything to harm her life. Now, he was putting aside his dignity and pride to apologize, and logically speaking, Jin Bao'er should have forgiven him for the past humiliations...
Even though the killing intent at that moment was clear and terrifying, he still thought that way. It wasn't until the sword fell without a trace of hesitation that he finally reacted!
Jin Bao'er... truly wanted him dead!
Xiao Baishan could no longer watch and quickly stepped forward to staunch his bleeding, roaring at Jin Bao'er in disbelief.
"Are you crazy! No matter what, he is your Martial Uncle! Besides, it wasn't entirely his fault back then. When you joined the sect, Lou Yun personally asked if you wanted to be his disciple, but you refused! That's why he misidentified someone and made a mistake later!"
These words left everyone confused. Bai Yileng stood by the side, having witnessed everything, and looked at Jin Bao'er with surprise...
For a moment, they couldn't understand what the Sect Master meant!
Hearing this, Jin Bao'er remained unmoved. She raised her sword tip and pointed it at Lou Yun, her killing intent soaring. Her eyes, looking at Xiao Baishan, were filled with ice-coldness!
"Get lost!"
That indifferent and ruthless tone made Xiao Baishan's face turn red with anger!
"You have no idea of the truth! Years ago, someone predicted that Lou Yun would have a destined disciple, so he never intended to take on any disciples. It wasn't until you joined the sect that year that he intended to take you as his disciple, but you publicly refused him, causing him to misidentify Su Xianzhi later and thus dote on her excessively!"
"If you hadn't refused, none of this would have happened!"
The last few words were spoken with extreme righteousness!
That attitude made Jin Bao'er burst into laughter, her eyes full of mockery!
"Ha! So it's my fault? May I ask, Sect Master! How do you know that if I had taken him as my disciple, I wouldn't have suffered even more? How do you know that if I had taken him as my disciple, I wouldn't have endured more humiliation? How do you know that if I had taken him as my disciple, I wouldn't have died by his hand!"
Each rhetorical question, at first glance, seemed unlikely to be true. Xiao Baishan only paused for a moment before directly refuting!
"Impossible!"
Hearing this, Jin Bao'er's expression instantly turned grim. The overwhelming rage made her roar out loud on the spot, her voice sharp and frenzied!
"How is it impossible!"
The hatred and killing intent, as if tangible, directly stunned Xiao Baishan, who stared at her blankly!
The young girl in front of him turned her gaze to Immortal Venerable Lou Yun. Her expression gradually calmed, but her eyes grew deeper and more peculiar.
"Lou Yun, do you know... the one standing before you is a vengeful spirit crawled up from hell! A soul who will not rest until you are dead after suffering endless torment! A revenger who swore a heavenly oath: 'I will not ascend until I kill you'! Ha! You talk to me about forgiveness? Ask heaven! Will it agree?!"
As soon as her words fell, the sky seemed to acknowledge her words, emitting a rumbling sound! A bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the gradually darkening sky! The sunset at this moment seemed insignificant...
Lou Yun was shocked! Although he refused to admit what she said in his heart, inexplicably! He felt that what Jin Bao'er said was true. At this moment, she truly seemed like a demon seeking revenge!
Xiao Baishan was so shaken by the sound from the sky that he retreated repeatedly, his face filled with disbelief, just like the expressions of the disciples and elders behind him.
Jin Bao'er lowered her eyes, retracted Zhan Hun, and her rampant hatred and killing intent quickly receded. Her face was devoid of any emotion.
"I've had enough of this Misty Sect!"
Xiao Baishan's face tightened, his pupils instantly dilated!
Then, he saw the woman in front of him slowly raise her head, her eyes filled with cold indifference...
"From today onwards, I, Jin Bao'er, voluntarily withdraw from the Misty Sect! I have nothing more to do with any of you!"
With that, she strode towards the entrance, without a trace of hesitation! She walked straight through the crowd in front of everyone! And left the Misty Sect.
Not a single person tried to stop her throughout the entire process!
Bai Yileng looked at her receding back with complex emotions. It was only now that he finally understood why that ten-year-old girl back then was shrouded in gloom. No matter what she learned, she put in so much effort, as if something terrible would happen if she was lazy! For example... being killed!
After Jin Bao'er left the Misty Sect, she finally looked up at the sky, her eyes incredibly calm...
What had just happened was not her acting impulsively! Jin Bao'er's existence was already remarkable. If the strong cultivators from the Upper Realm knew she was alive, they would definitely find an opportunity to come back and kill her. While the cultivators in the cultivation world envied her outstanding talent and formidable strength, there were also many who wanted to kill her...
Leaving the Misty Sect was the only way to protect the old man. Xiao Baishan's favoritism towards Lou Yun did anger her, but using this opportunity to leave the Misty Sect was a good thing for everyone!
"You're quite quick to react!"
A familiar voice sounded in her ear. Jin Bao'er smiled faintly, but with a hint of relief...
"Thank you for your praise, Senior!"
As for the destined fate between her and Lou Yun that Xiao Baishan spoke of, she scoffed at it! It was probably a destined enemy!
Thinking of this, the man in the immortal mansion no longer spoke. She was already used to it. Just as she was wondering where to go next, Long Lixing unexpectedly spoke, his tone laced with annoyance.
"I said, use my full name!"
Sensing his displeasure, Jin Bao'er was taken aback. She didn't understand why he was so persistent about this matter, but she still spoke.
"Alright, Long... Long Lixing!"
The girl's light and delicate voice was very pleasant. When she uttered these three words, it carried a hint of lingering tenderness, an indescribable feeling! She herself didn't find it strange...
However, the handsome man in the immortal mansion showed no change in his face, but his ears turned slightly red!
The little girl and the phoenix beside him stared at him with their eyes wide open.
"Uncle Long seems a bit strange. Is he sick?"
Because she was extremely sensitive to the emotional fluctuations of her surroundings, Bao Bao was the first to notice Long Lixing's abnormality and spoke with confusion. The phoenix, however, didn't think anything was wrong and, holding the little girl in its beak, flew far away.
"Uncle... Long Lixing, should we go find your power next? Can you sense where it is?"
She didn't want to search aimlessly!
The man in the immortal mansion looked up upon hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said.
"My power was scattered into four parts, and should be dispersed across various continents. I found two in the cultivation world, and there shouldn't be any more! One in the Ghost Realm is gone. I think... it's best to go to the Elf Continent! It's the closest to the cultivation world!"
