Chapter 356: Opportunities Not Yet Completed
He Gui sneered: "Ling'er, do you think I won't do anything to you?"
Bai Ling's face turned pale.
He Gui smiled slightly, and several unknown boneless worms slowly crawled out of his sleeves. The worms were dark blue in color, emitting a faint dark blue light all over their bodies. They came out of He Gui's sleeves densely, and the scene gave Bai Ling goose bumps. But fortunately, the worms were not targeting her. Instead, they bypassed Bai Ling and all attached themselves to Guangwei.
Under the gnawing of the unknown boneless worms, Guangwei's body shrank rapidly. In just a moment, the worms sucked away his flesh, blood, and soul, leaving only dry bones and skin lying quietly on the ground, with the only sound of the worms gnawing.
The Jindan-stage concubine whom Bai Ling had just known for less than a month died.
Bai Ling couldn't stop shaking when she heard the noise behind her. She turned around slowly out of curiosity and saw Master Guangwei, whose body was covered in blood. Her feet immediately went weak.
Seeing that the intimidation was enough, He Gui smiled slightly, raised his hand to support Bai Ling, and said in a cold voice: "Ling'er, I will not give you another chance to escape."
Bai Ling's mind went blank. After a moment, she regained some consciousness. Guangwei died, and died so miserably... Although she had seen this scene many times.
Although she lost her brother Guang, she still has her master. Bai Ling has not forgotten the purpose of her trip to the Demon Palace.
As long as she helps Qianjizi rescue Lan Ning, he will promise to release the master. As long as the master can be saved, she can leave the Demon Palace forever without any worries.
After the matter is accomplished, she will never return to the Demon Palace, and will never forgive He Gui! But now, the master is still waiting for her.
When Bai Ling thought of this, a flash of pain appeared in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he turned around and hugged He Gui.
"I'm sorry, Ah He, I won't run away this time. I've figured it out. In fact, I like you more."
The Hegui, who was originally covered in black air, froze all over, and a hint of joy gradually appeared in his eyes.
It was like an acre of spiritual field that hadn't been watered for 800 years finally getting a pleasant surprise of sweet rain.
The two ignored Guangwei's body on the ground, which was still wet, and hugged and kissed each other.
There were still a few survivors among the group of Demon Palace guards who were knocked down by the pressure. When they saw this scene, they did not show it on their faces, but in their hearts they had already greeted He Gui and Bai Ling's eight generations of ancestors. After all, strength is respected here, and He Gui's cultivation in the late Nascent Soul stage overwhelmed all the elders of the Demon Palace. What could these little servants say?
Gongsun Lian walked in slowly at this time and said in a low voice: "Great Elder, Miss Bai has been exhausted from the journey, and I have prepared a banquet for her. Although I do not eat grains, Miss Bai still needs them. Please move aside, Old Ancestor."
He Gui was in a good mood at the moment, and nodded slightly when he heard this: "Well done."
After saying that, he put his arm around Bai Ling's waist, and the two of them flew out of the hall together, leaving behind a group of resentful Demon Palace guards.
"Everyone, get up quickly." The next second, Gongsun Lian changed her expression and waved her sleeves to distribute a few soul-nourishing pills to the few surviving guards of the Demon Palace.
"This is... the Soul-Nourishing Pill? For us!?" At this moment, Gongsun Lian's image suddenly became taller among the inner hall guards of the Demon Palace, like a reborn parent, like a living white moonlight.
Gongsun Lian shook her head and sighed: "Alas, the Great Elder is really..."
"Commander, the Great Elder is never like this on weekdays. Ever since the appearance of that girl named Bai Ling, the Great Elder's temper seems to have regressed to the Qi Refining Stage. He gets angry at the slightest disagreement. His good Ling'er is fine, but we are in trouble. After all, when the ancestor is angry, he doesn't recognize anyone except Miss Ling'er."
When the Hegui brings down his pressure, everyone will crawl on the ground, except Bai Ling.
Because she was given a special protective shield by Hegui.
No matter when or where, he would show his uniqueness to Bai Ling in front of everyone.
Including but not limited to, only Bai Ling can calm his anger
Only Bai Ling can make him smile, only Bai Ling can go to the forbidden area of the Demon Palace, only Bai Ling can make him lose his mind, and so on.
There are so many strange special treatments like these that one can list them all, and He Gui almost wrote the word "Ni Lin" on Bai Ling's face.
Such a Bai Ling would have become the object of flattery by all the monks in the Demon Palace, and would undoubtedly be the darling of the Demon Palace.
But under Gongsun Lian's secret manipulation and Bai Lan's behind-the-scenes promotion, Bai Ling has become the public enemy of the Demon Palace.
"If it weren't for those few spirit stones, why would we come here to suffer?"
"Now it seems that this damn place is not as safe as the outer palace. At least there is no one like He Gui who can't distinguish friend from foe!"
"Unfortunately, the cultivation level of the late Nascent Soul stage is something we may never be able to achieve in our lifetime. Now that things have come to this, we can only remain silent..."
"Alas, we are mayflies, how can we shake the big tree?"
As the Demon Palace guards spoke, they took the soul-nourishing pills that Gongsun Lian handed to them and began to heal their severely injured souls.
Gongsun Lian listened silently and nodded in agreement: "Yes, after all, in the eyes of the great powers, we are nothing but ants and grass."
"No, Commander, you are different. You really treat us as your own people. Otherwise, how could you just give us such a valuable thing as the Soul-Nourishing Pill?" A guard of the Demon Palace laughed when he heard this.
Gongsun Lian waved her hand: "You are lucky to be alive this time. If you didn't have the Soul Nourishing Pill to strengthen your soul, I'm afraid you would be dead..."
"Commander..." The expression of the Demon Palace guard was moved.
Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "I think after this incident, you will no longer want to work in the inner palace. If you trust me, I can recommend a good job for you. Not only that, you can still receive the salary of the Demon Palace in the future."
"Of course we trust the Commander!"
Gongsun Lian smiled faintly. It was her duty to agree to her request. Not only that, she had to thank her.
After all, he had taken her soul-nourishing pill, so he had to agree even if he didn't want to.
She had seen the method of adding things to the blood-restoring pill from Bai Lan, and it was very effective. She also wanted to hook up a subordinate as powerful as the Fifth Yin, so she made a small attempt today.
......It seems that it is time to start construction of the spiritual mine that Bai Lan gave her, and they happen to be short of laborers.
At the same time, True Lord Suiyun, who was far away in Tianji Pavilion, frowned and fell into deep thought after hearing his subordinates report the news of Guangwei's death.
How did Guangwei die? Where did he die? Who did it?
These three questions all pointed directly to the murderer, but had nothing to do with Bai Lan. She was not even present at the time, so Zhenjun Suiyun naturally would not think of blaming her good adopted daughter.
At this moment, Bai Lan was carried all the way back to the sect by Nan Xianzhi. At Bai Lan's strong suggestion, Nan Xianzhi did not send her to Danfeng, but only sent her to his own cave to recuperate.
After tricking Nan Xianzhi away under the pretext of recuperating from his injuries, Bai Lan turned around and stood up, put on his hidden spirit robe, slipped out of his cave, and flew towards the outer peak on his sword.
She still had an opportunity in Qingyuan Sect that she had not seized, and she had wasted a long time training outside. She had to go and see if that person had fallen.
