Chapter 555: Chapter 554: Shocked and Appalled
Looking into the depths of the palace, a girl in white slowly emerged, and the monks immediately rejoiced.
The white-dressed girl was none other than the girl they had encountered on the stone bridge before.
In her hand, she held a sword, and she was clad in white armor, her figure graceful, like a celestial descending to the mortal realm!
"My lord, we have finally found you."
"You’ve finally awakened!"
...
Looking at these monks, the white-dressed girl snorted lightly and said, "Nonsense, if I hadn’t awakened, how could I have let those fellows escape!"
Hearing her words, many monks were embarrassed!
Indeed!
If it were not for their lord, they would have died on the stone bridge long ago!
Moreover, their lord had been injured because of this and had fallen into a coma for three months!
These monks were filled with gratitude in their hearts but did not dare to speak.
After all, they were not fools; their lord must have awakened with the help of some external force!
Moreover, they were aware that their lord had recently been staying inside the palace in seclusion, cultivating.
They dared not disturb her!
The white-dressed girl’s name was Bai Ling!
She was the master of this palace, and moreover, she had a name that was feared by many!
Bai Ling, the Sword Monarch!
The Sword Monarch was among the top powerful beings in Heaven!
Her strength was unfathomable!
This palace was built by the Sword Monarch!
...
"Sister Bai Ling, you have finally awakened."
At this moment, a girl walked out from within the palace.
Her appearance was incredibly cute, her eyes like stars, twinkling brightly.
She was Bai Ling’s younger sister—Bai Yuqing!
Bai Yuqing walked up to Bai Ling and reached out to touch her head.
"Sister Bai Ling, you’ve been asleep for over a thousand years, you scared me to death, I thought you would never wake up."
As she spoke!
Bai Yuqing pouted, "Sister Bai Ling, you’re really irresponsible, not coming back to see us for over a thousand years."
Upon hearing this!
Bai Ling gently shook her head.
"It’s not that I didn’t want to come back, but that I couldn’t!"
"What happened?"
"This sleep brought me a great opportunity."
As she spoke!
A thrilled smile appeared on Bai Ling’s face.
"What opportunity did you get?" Bai Ling’s sister Bai Yuqing asked curiously.
Bai Ling said, "I discovered that the rule force of this world is completely different from the world we come from. This time, I have crossed over from there."
"Crossed over?" Bai Yuqing was stunned, "Then my brother? Is he also like you, having come to this place from another world?"
"Yes."
As she spoke!
A serious look crossed Bai Ling’s face.
"This world is far too dangerous. My brother also encountered some peril and nearly didn’t make it back."
"However, we were quite lucky."
Bai Ling let out a small sigh of relief.
"Oh."
Bai Yuqing nodded her head.
Although she was very curious about the great opportunity Bai Ling referred to, she also understood that since Bai Ling was reluctant to elaborate, it wasn’t appropriate for her to keep asking.
...
"My lord, you have finally come out!"
"This time, you must stand up for us, your subordinates!"
"My lord, during the days you were away, we were terribly bullied!"
"My lord, you don’t know, they are a bunch of despicable and shameless scoundrels, they even imprisoned us!"
"My lord, if you hadn’t appeared, we would have been killed by that bunch of bastards!"
...
Seeing Bai Ling, that group of monks immediately rushed forward and surrounded her!
"Hmph, all of you back off!"
Looking at those cultivators, Bai Ling snorted coldly, "Whoever dares to take one more step closer to me, dies!"
Hearing these words, the cultivators trembled all over and dared not move an inch.
"I ask you, do you know where this place is?"
Bai Ling looked at the cultivators in front of her and asked in a deep voice.
"This is the Northwestern Wastelands. We are from a sect known as the Blood Fiend Sect, tasked with searching for our master’s whereabouts in the Southern Border. However, we were obstructed by those bastards!" a cultivator hurriedly explained.
"Blood Fiend Sect?" Bai Ling frowned slightly.
"Yes!"
"Your Blood Fiend Sect is a very special sect. The members of this sect all possess extremely high combat power. It is said that the founder of the sect was a powerful ancestor at the peak of the Saint Realm, who also controlled a strange secret technique."
Upon hearing these words, Bai Ling’s eyes shimmered with a few strands of puzzlement.
"Then why didn’t they enter the Eastern Continent?" Bai Ling asked.
"That matter is not known to us, we were only following orders," The cultivator said with his head lowered.
Seeing this, Bai Ling nodded and then asked, "Do you know if anything happened during the period I was unconscious?"
Hearing this question!
The cultivators looked at each other, and eventually, the cultivator spoke softly, "Reporting to the master, we are unaware of anything."
Hearing this!
Bai Ling nodded and then said, "You may withdraw for now. I have a very important matter to attend to."
"Yes, master."
"Master, then we shall take our leave."
Hearing these words, Bai Ling waved her hand.
Soon, the group of cultivators quickly dispersed!
Meanwhile, Bai Ling took steps toward the direction ahead of her.
Moments later, she arrived beside a vast and boundless lake!
At that moment, the lake was still as magnificent as ever, with ripples spreading across the water as if nothing had changed.
But Bai Ling knew that this was just an illusion!
After all, this lake was too terrifying!
Moreover, the water current here was even more turbulent and violent than before.
"Could it be because of that Spiritual Medicine?" Bai Ling guessed.
Thinking this, she did not hesitate to dive into the lake.
Splash!
Upon entering, Bai Ling immediately felt an extreme, bone-chilling coldness attacking her.
"So cold..."
"So painful!"
"So very painful!"
"Aaahhh!"
Pain spread through her body in an instant!
This pain made Bai Ling let out a piercing scream of agony.
However, this was just the beginning!
Following that, black demonic mists began to rise out of the lake.
Bai Ling’s eyes widened at this sight.
Soon after, she saw dark skeletons emerging from the water!
Each skeleton radiated a dense aura of murderous intent!
This murderous intent, like a living creature, struggled and roared continuously.
As soon as these skeletons touched the water, they would turn to ash.
But the chilling aura inside the lake could revive them, reassembling the skeletons once again.
"Dammit, how can this be!" Bai Ling exclaimed in shock.
She felt the coldness in the lake completely infiltrating her soul’s power.
If she didn’t leave now, she feared she might fall victim to this place!
This was an extremely bizarre location!
She didn’t understand why such a potent coldness existed within this lake.
But she knew that this was a place she must not linger!
Bai Ling took a deep breath, her figure flickered, and she bolted out of the lake.
Before long, she vanished from everyone’s sight.
...
Bai Ling raced all the way to Tian Wu City.
Once in Tian Wu City, Bai Ling did not hesitate and headed straight for the royal palace.
Bai Ling knew she had to refine the Tian Xuan Dan as soon as possible.
Otherwise, her physical body would definitely not withstand such coldness!
