Chapter 141 Today, neither of you is leaving!
Over the next few days, Ye Xiaobai, Mu Beifeng, and the others were busy at Qingyun Mountain.
After finishing his chores, Ye Xiaobai decided to go to the nearby market to get some fresh air and see if there were any alchemy-related materials available so he could study them properly.
The alchemy competition is just around the corner, so we need to prepare in advance. Otherwise, it might not be so easy to get a good ranking.
Just as Ye Xiaobai was strolling around the market, a familiar scent wafted over—the person who came was the female cultivator who had previously led the Core Formation stage elder of the Qingyun Sect to secretly meet with the Zhao family at the Xiaoyao Tavern in the Baihu Sect market.
Later, I heard from the elders that this female cultivator was Jiang Xiaoyue, the youngest daughter of Jiang, the deputy sect leader of Qingyun Sect. At that time, she was probably discussing a marriage alliance with the Zhao family.
These things were only learned during the extermination of the Zhao family.
At this time, Jiang Xiaoyue's cultivation had also reached the late stage of Foundation Establishment, and her improvement was not slow.
Jiang Xiaoyue's father died in the White Tiger Sect, so she must hate the White Tiger Sect to the core. She didn't see him on Qingyun Mountain a few days ago, so he must have run away beforehand.
Seeing her sneaky behavior and the lingering scent of the newly bought healing pills on her body, Ye Xiaobai became curious and followed closely behind to find out what was going on.
Soon, Jiang Xiaoyue left the market and flew towards a secluded location. Ye Xiaobai followed cautiously behind, afraid of being discovered by Jiang Xiaoyue.
Half an hour later, Jiang Xiaoyue arrived at a secluded cave. Before entering the cave, she looked around to make sure no one was following her before carefully entering.
After seeing Jiang Xiaoyue enter the cave, Ye Xiaobai quickly tiptoed to the side of the cave. Before he could find a good spot to check who was inside, Ye Xiaobai detected the scent of someone familiar.
This person was none other than Lu Qingteng, who had escaped from the White Tiger Sect using the Blood Escape Technique that day.
Although Ye Xiaobai was quite far from Lu Qingteng and other Nascent Soul stage cultivators during the battle, he could tell from Ye Xiaobai's extraordinary sense of smell that the familiar scent was definitely real.
Thinking of this, Ye Xiaobai was also greatly surprised. He hadn't expected Jiang Xiaoyue to be with the injured Lu Qingteng. After the great battle a few days ago, Bai Xiaotian had sent people to search for Lu Qingteng everywhere, but he hadn't expected him to end up here.
Ye Xiaobai moved slowly, carefully finding a suitable angle to examine the situation inside the cave. Soon, the situation inside the cave gradually came into view.
"Elder Lu, I just went to the market and bought these healing pills. Please take a look and see if they will help you!" Jiang Xiaoyue placed some newly bought healing pills in front of Lu Qingteng, asking him to check them carefully.
When Ye Xiaobai's gaze slowly shifted to Lu Qingteng, he couldn't help but gasp.
The sight before him shocked him—Lu Qing Teng had become so haggard! His face was as pale as paper, devoid of any color, as if his life force had been drained away.
Her once vibrant face was now covered with deep and shallow wrinkles, as if time had mercilessly etched its marks upon it. Her once bright and spirited eyes had become dull and lifeless, revealing an unspeakable weariness and despair.
Even more shocking was that Lu Qingteng seemed to have shrunk considerably, his body hunched over as if carrying a tremendous burden. His hair was sparse and gray, a stark contrast to his previous high spirits.
I never imagined that the injuries I sustained in the battle a few days ago would be so severe.
"Xiaoyue, thank you for your hard work! Did you get followed when you came back?" Lu Qingteng said, and then took a bottle of pills and drank them all down his throat.
"Elder Lu, I checked carefully and there was no one following us. However, Qingyun Mountain has now been occupied by the White Tiger Sect, and the Qingyun Sect is completely gone!" Jiang Xiaoyue wiped her eyes with her right hand, trying to suppress the pain in her heart.
Once the apple of the eye of the sect's vice sect leader, she was showered with love and lived a carefree life. However, fate cruelly played a cruel trick on this innocent girl. Now she has lost both her parents, and even the sect where she grew up has been destroyed.
This was undoubtedly a devastating blow to a frail woman, and the pain and sorrow she endured were beyond words.
She once had a loving and warm family; her parents cherished her like a treasure, showering her with endless care and love. But now, all of that has vanished, leaving her only with deep longing and endless sorrow.
The once familiar sect, filled with laughter and joy, is now a ruin, and the beautiful memories of the past seem to have vanished like smoke.
Such an experience makes one sigh at the capriciousness and cruelty of fate.
"Xiaoyue, don't be sad. Once my cultivation is restored, I will definitely seek revenge on the White Tiger Sect!" Looking at the heartbroken Jiang Xiaoyue, Lu Qingteng could only offer some words of comfort. His injuries were extremely serious, and he didn't know when he would recover. Even if he did recover, it would be difficult to avenge himself.
The only hope is to encourage Jiang Xiaoyue to live bravely, to live for the sake of avenging the Qingyun Sect.
Thinking of this, Lu Qingteng cheered again and comforted her, "Xiaoyue, the future of Qingyun Sect rests entirely on your shoulders, so don't be discouraged!"
"Elder Lu, I understand!" After hearing Lu Qing Teng's repeated words of comfort and encouragement, Jiang Xiaoyue finally cheered up and decided to work hard for the future of Qingyun Sect.
Having seen everything inside the cave, Ye Xiaobai naturally had no intention of letting the two go. As the saying goes, being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.
"The Qingyun Sect has no future!" Ye Xiaobai strode into the cave, simultaneously releasing his puppet and Purple Flame Thunder Leopard, ready to act at any moment.
"Ye Xiaobai? How did you find this place!" Jiang Xiaoyue and the other person were shocked when they saw Ye Xiaobai enter the cave and immediately questioned him.
At the same time, the two also took out their weapons, ready to fight Ye Xiaobai at any time.
"Jiang Xiaoyue brought me here!" Ye Xiaobai said to Lu Qingteng with ill intent.
"You're talking nonsense, Elder Lu! You have to believe me, it's not that I didn't bring him here!" Jiang Xiaoyue quickly defended herself, angrily accusing Ye Xiaobai.
"Xiaoyue, you're still too young. I've lived for hundreds of years, how could I fall for a young man's scheme to sow discord?" Lu Qingteng quickly comforted Jiang Xiaoyue, then whispered in her ear, "I'll hold him off for a while, you find a chance to escape, don't worry about me!"
Lu Qingteng knew that he was seriously injured and had no way to escape unscathed, so he could only hope that Jiang Xiaoyue could live on with his hopes.
"Elder Lu, I'm not leaving. If you're leaving, we'll leave together!" Jiang Xiaoyue refused directly.
"Go away! You stubborn child!" Lu Qingteng pushed Jiang Xiaoyue away and shouted, then picked up his natal magic weapon and began to attack Ye Xiaobai.
"Neither of you are leaving today!" Seeing that Lu Qingteng wanted Jiang Xiaoyue to take the opportunity to escape, Ye Xiaobai naturally wouldn't give them the chance.
Ye Xiaobai immediately controlled two fifth-tier puppets to block Jiang Xiaoyue's retreat, and then controlled the remaining puppets and the Purple Flame Thunder Leopard to besiege Lu Qingteng.
