The newcomer was clad in a snow-white robe, his handsome face appearing sharp under the faint sunlight.
As he walked slowly, he exuded an aura that no one could ignore.
Upon seeing him, Gu Qianying's eyes remained filled with shock.
Lu Zhu, standing beside her, was no different.
"What? Don't you recognize me? Sister Qianying."
The newcomer was none other than Song Wuji, the eldest son of the Song family, whom she hadn't seen for several days and who had been severely injured, unable to get out of bed.
"You... you... why..."
Her heart was filled with too many questions, and she didn't know where to begin.
Seeing Gu Qianying's state, the spirited Song Wuji smiled and said, "Sister Qianying, I know you have many questions. That's right, previously, my hands' tendons were severed, and my tongue was cut off, making me unable to speak. It was true, just as you saw it, but now..."
Before Song Wuji could finish his words, Gu Qianying had already guessed more than half of it.
"It's the Charm Tiger Token!"
This was the only solution Gu Qianying could think of.
Besides summoning the ghost army, the Charm Tiger Token could also...
...resurrect.
Soul reincarnation.
However, doing so required a great price.
Seeing that Song Wuji's complexion was not quite right, different from that of ordinary people, Gu Qianying became even more certain of her thoughts.
Song Wuji, having his "resurrection" guessed, curled his lips into a bitter smile.
"I only wanted to save him!"
These five words alone explained the reason for paying such a heavy price.
At the same time, they showed Gu Qianying Song Wuji's determination.
"In that case, I won't try to dissuade you. He is at Han Yu Manor. I will send a few people to assist you."
Since Song Wuji had made such a decision,
She knew that further persuasion would be futile.
This was Song Wuji's resolute decision.
All she could do was support him.
"Don't worry, if he is unharmed, then I am unharmed."
Song Wuji personally poured Gu Qianying a cup of tea and handed it to her.
Gu Qianying naturally understood what he had said.
Before Song Wuji left, he left a flawless white jade pendant engraved with the character 'Ji' for Gu Qianying.
"Sister Qianying, I entrust this to you. If anything truly happens to me, please give this to my mother. She will understand what it means."
This was the task Song Wuji entrusted to Gu Qianying before he left.
Watching Song Wuji's receding figure, Gu Qianying's icy eyes held a trace of admiration.
For a love that could not be revealed to the world, could not be openly acknowledged, could not... continue the lineage... and was not blessed by family.
Song Wuji had actually... paid such a great price.
Who could possess such courage?
"Lu Zhu, summon the Flood Dragon A Mu and follow him. Ensure the safety of Song Wuji and Bai Li Jing Xuan."
As Song Wuji left, Gu Qianying urgently commanded Lu Zhu.
"Yes, Master."
Lu Zhu obeyed and acted.
Using a special method, she summoned the Flood Dragon A Mu, who was cultivating in the deep mountains.
The Flood Dragon A Mu, emerging from the mountains again, appeared much more composed than before.
He was dressed in a black robe and carried a long sword on his back.
After reading a letter left by his master, he turned and followed Song Wuji's path at a gallop.
Thus.
Gu Qianying, with Gao Tian Shou, headed for the Ten Thousand Layered Hell.
Along the way, Gu Qianying summoned Xuan Ling Nü and the White Tiger divine beast, and they accompanied her.
And the moment the "Charm Tiger Token" appeared, Old Master Bai Li, who was recuperating in Jue Sha Sect under the guise of a "good person."
He immediately became alert upon seeing the slightly unusual sky.
That night, he knocked out Madam Bai Li and Bai Li Meng Ran in her arms.
Just as he was changing into a night-traveler's outfit and preparing to leave Jue Sha Sect, Lu Zhu and several sect leaders of Jue Sha Sect blocked Old Master Bai Li's path.
"Old Master Bai Li, you finally can't sit still!"
Lu Zhu, dressed in white, wore the same attire as the sect leaders of Jue Sha Sect.
Holding her sword, she, along with many disciples of Jue Sha Sect, surrounded Old Master Bai Li.
Seeing the people around him.
Old Master Bai Li removed the black mask covering his face.
At this moment, he no longer pretended.
"Haha, it seems your master already knows what kind of person this old man is!"
As he said this, a murderous glint flashed in Old Master Bai Li's eyes.
"Old Master Bai Li, my master said that as long as you surrender, we will not kill you."
Hearing this.
Old Master Bai Li laughed three times, then glanced at Lu Zhu and the others with disdain in his eyes.
"Haha, with just you few youngsters, you think you can kill me? Hmph, overestimating yourselves!"
The wind picked up.
The sword in Old Master Bai Li's hand moved with lightning speed.
In almost the blink of an eye, amidst flashing blades and sword shadows.
The sword thrown by Old Master Bai Li flashed around several disciples like lightning.
In the darkness, a bright light flashed.
As the sword landed in Old Master Bai Li's hand.
Several disciples beside Lu Zhu collapsed simultaneously. Among them, severed heads rolled far away, blood splashing as high as three feet.
Others had their arms or legs severed, flying instantly, their blood staining the ground red.
As for the disciples who died on the spot, they did not even have time to cry out.
The swords in their hands all fell to the ground.
Seeing this.
Lu Zhu tightened her grip on her sword, her expression very serious and somewhat shocked.
Old Master Bai Li was actually this formidable!
"Little girl, out of consideration for your sincere care for my daughter, I will spare your dog's life. Hurry and get out of the way, otherwise... today will also be your death day!"
Old Master Bai Li took out a white handkerchief and slowly wiped the blood from his sword.
Drips of blood flowed onto the ground, spreading at his feet like a stunningly beautiful rose.
Lu Zhu did not retreat.
Her master's mission was to stop Old Master Bai Li and prevent him from snatching the "Charm Tiger Token" from the hands of the eldest young master Song.
Seeing that Lu Zhu had no intention of retreating.
Old Master Bai Li also lost his patience: "If that's the case, then today, this old man will kill you, little girl!"
Dropping the blood-stained handkerchief.
Old Master Bai Li became ruthless.
He directly thrust his sword towards Lu Zhu.
Lu Zhu had also learned martial arts for many years under Gu Qianying, and she had also cultivated for a period during her time as a saintess.
Her internal energy, martial arts, and spiritual power were all much stronger than ordinary people.
However... Old Master Bai Li was even stronger.
After a few rounds, Lu Zhu was injured by Old Master Bai Li.
She used her sword to support herself on the ground, kneeling on one knee, her chest wound bleeding continuously.
Her face was very pale, and she looked up at Old Master Bai Li.
Even at this moment, she had no intention of retreating.
She was determined to complete the task her master had assigned her.
Seeing Lu Zhu on the verge of death but still trying to hold on.
Old Master Bai Li slowly walked towards her with his sword: "I didn't expect you, little girl, to be such a spirited person. It seems Gu Qianying is quite capable of managing her subordinates, but..."
