Chapter 165 Dual Blades, Icy Brilliance in the Martial World (34)
Bai Tang remarked casually, “The Blood Devil Cult’s leader has decent martial arts skills and internal energy. Surprising that he managed to escape.”
Weng Quan’s lips twitched: Female Hero Bai’s martial arts skills and internal energy are the real deal.
Tantai Ziheng snorted coldly with strange yin and yang energy.
Bai Tang inquired, “Young Hero Weng, where do you think the Blood Devil Cult’s stronghold might be?”
The orthodox martial arts sects had contemplated forming an alliance to eradicate the Blood Devil Cult, but the cult remained shrouded in mystery, making it difficult to locate.
Weng Quan’s eyes flashed, “Possibly near Narrow Heaven, or maybe right at the base of this cliff.”
Tantai Ziheng retorted, “No one in the martial world might know, and yet you claim to? There’s no way anyone can survive coming out from the base of Narrow Heaven.”
Weng Quan, being as good-natured as ever, replied, “It’s just my speculation.”
Bai Tang smiled faintly, “Then I’ll explore a bit more.”
With that, Weng Quan and Tantai Ziheng watched as Bai Tang spread her arms and leaped back into Narrow Heaven.
Yaoyao, “…” She actually got used to it.
Weng Quan shouted, “Female Hero Bai, take care. Half a month still stands as promised.”
He was no match for Bai Tang, nor can he descend the cliff in the same way as Bai Tang.
Tantai Ziheng’s lips quivered slightly, but he said nothing. There was a ball of anger in his chest. Even if she was powerful, by what right did she have to do this?
…
Qi Jiayan opened his eyes abruptly and, paying little attention to his injuries, swiftly left the area. His neck throbbed painfully, indicating that Bai Tang had just snapped it.
He couldn’t stay here. He had to return to the Blood Devil Cult by himself, avoiding being seen by too many people.
What a Bai Tang! She not only killed him but also crippled his martial arts and internal energy! As for the Blood Devil Cult, he couldn’t go back until he recovered some of his internal energy.
Shortly after Qi Jiayan’s departure, disciples in red attire, wearing blood-red masks, arrived.
“Did you find traces of the cult leader?”
“Pay attention, look more carefully!”
“We can’t afford any harm to the cult leader!”
“Protector, the signs of the fight disappear here. There’s blood on the ground, it seems the cult leader is injured.”
“Useless! The cult leader has formidable martial arts skills and profound internal energy. How could he be injured? If anyone is injured, it must be that Bai Tang.”
“Continue searching, don’t miss a single trace.”
“Yes, Protector.”
…
Bai Tang savored the weightlessness for a moment, taking a deep breath to slow down before landing steadily on Jiesheng’s head.
“Head to the base of the cliff,” she instructed.
Jiesheng swiftly climbed down the cliff.
After a considerable time, they finally touched solid ground. It was genuinely dark and damp here. Towering trees took on an eerie appearance, their ominous silhouettes dancing like a horde of demons in the absence of sunlight.
Jiesheng followed closely behind Bai Tang. The passage of the giant snake left unmistakable traces. Its menacing presence, however, seemed to deter other lurking beasts, minimizing the trouble for Bai Tang.
During Bai Tang’s search for the Lifeless Flower, she had carefully observed the cliff, finding no hidden paths or iron cables.
If Weng Quan’s words about the base of Narrow Heaven were accurate, there must be a cave or an underground passage connecting the base to the outside world. Alternatively, there might be an underground stream through which one could pass.
Bai Tang opted to seek the river. Given the lush vegetation around, thriving trees and grass usually indicated the presence of a water source. Finding a river was much easier than meticulously searching for a hidden cave inch by inch.
The forest was incredibly quiet, and Bai Tang’s petite figure appeared inconspicuous like specks of dust within. Strangely, the quieter it was, the more certain sounds became prominent. Bai Tang, based on the humidity in the air and the sounds she heard, quickly discovered the river.
Before approaching, Bai Tang specifically instructed Jiesheng to wait at the location where she descended. Jiesheng’s massive body could cause quite a noise.
Uncertain whether the river was guarded, Bai Tang proceeded with caution. At this moment, discretion was key. She had no intention of letting anyone discover her presence in the Blood Devil Cult’s stronghold.
