Chapter 890 - 890 14.166 Last Violet Star - Bai Lili’s State

890 14.166 Last Violet Star – Bai Lili’s State

That was the last time Lu Yier and his little master would see their master, something the little disciple hadn’t anticipated. One of the elders who followed them put him to sleep as soon as he had his little master back in the bedroom. Before he passed out, he could hear them conversing.

“Our objective is to protect the Sect Master and the little lord, thus we must flee with all of our power, the Great Elder and the other elders have determined.”

The thoughts of Lu Yier at the last moments, ‘Escaped? Just us? What about... Master?’

He was unable to ponder further about what would have happened if he had entirely lost consciousness. About what transpired subsequent to it, Lu Yier is no longer aware of anything.



Back to Eastern City...

Among the vast herd of demonic creatures that were encircling the Jin Tiangui Sect, Yun Huaxia had made a way. They penetrated a path toward the Jin Tiangui Sect with the help of a few immortals and heavenly soldiers. Instead of destroying the demonic creatures outside the sect, their goal was to enter the formation and communicate with the survivors inside.

Materials required to build a teleportation circle are piled inside their space rings. The receiving circle was made in West City, where everyone else was waiting for them. Demon Fennu and Jin Shiyan depart without care about what’s going to happen next, leaving these lower-class demons without a leader. They simply went with their instincts and continued to hit the formation until they killed themselves.

But, there are so many demons outside that even if some of them perished from hitting their skulls on the barrier, it wouldn’t make much of a difference to their population. They were on their way when they observed robes that appeared to belong only to the shadow guards of the Bai Family. The members of the Jin Tiangui Sect combined it with their customary golden garments.

.....

Bai Qiyin mumbled, “Those dark navy blue robes...”

“What’s wrong, Yin’er?” asked Yun Huaxia.

Bai Qiyin frowned, “Lili’s Shadow Guards.”

Since the shadow guards were found dead, everyone thought that something must have happened to Bai Lili.

Xue Wuyue said, “Let’s hurry over. I hope nothing happened to my daughter.”

These robes were being worn by dead people who were missing body parts, and it is evident that demons were now eating them. Bai Qiyin, Yun Huaxia, and the others scowled at this spectacle. They attack these ravenous demon beings right away in an effort to destroy them or at the very least preserve the corpses of these people who appear to be from their Sect.

The bodies had been frozen into thick ice by Bai Qiyin, keeping the evil monsters from feasting on them. Instead of attempting to exterminate all animals in the area, they killed all those that surrounded the Jin Tiangui Sect. They only entered the formation barrier around the Jin Tiangui Sect after doing so.

When landing in the Jin Tiangui Sect, they noticed that no one was manning the gates and that the entire area felt forlorn, which caused them to frown.

Bai Qiyin said, “Are there no guards around? Where are the people?”

“They are inside,” said Bai Yuyan.

Yun Huaxia made the decision to enter with the Bai Family but not before explaining their plans to the accompanying heavenly soldiers.

“Go ahead inside, Young Lord Yun. We will take care of the demonic creatures outside,” said the captain of the Heavenly soldiers that came with them.

Eliminating the demon herd was a practice deployed by heavenly domain soldiers to clear out demonic creatures. However, compared to the herd from their realm, the one in this dimension is too small in size and number. As they were Gods themselves, they can sweep up these demons without any problems.

Yun Huaxia said, “Then please go ahead. Do protect my Sect’s disciples while they created the teleportation circle for transferring survivors.”

“You can leave it to us!”

Only then did Yun Huaxia decide to follow the Bai family as they made their way directly to the main palace, where Bai Lili resides. Inside the mansion, some elders of the sect recognized them were present. While his wife and the Bai Family head directly to the place where Bai Lili is staying, Yun Huaxia takes over conversing with these elders who are still alive to learn the situation.

In the main courtyard’s master’s bedroom...

Bai Qiyin was so worried about his sister losing her shadow guards that he nearly kicked open the door. He noticed a weary Jin Shiyan feeding his sister, Bai Lili, some porridge when he forcibly opened the door.

Due to the lack of garnish except for eggs and pork strips, the porridge didn’t appear to be particularly opulent. But, if you consider that the Jin Tiangui Sect had no connections outside of their city, this kind of lunch would be regarded as extravagant. In spite of the circumstances, Jin Shiyan made sure his sister ate well and never disparaged her cuisine.

When Sect Master Bai noticed Bai Lili’s puffy eyes and pale skin, the relief he felt immediately faded. Her health is obviously not great, and there is some depression between her eyebrows.

Jin Shiyan cries, “Brother Qi, Mother Bai, and Father Bai!”

Bai Qiyin’s arrival with Lord Bai Yuyan and Madam Bai startled and pleased Bai Lili and Jin Shiyan. Bai Lili, who hasn’t been feeling well since Uncle Lan passed away for her, is in particular affected by this.

Bai Qiyin grabbed Jin Shiyan’s collar with rage on his face, “You bastard! What did you do to my sister!?”

“Qiqi, calm down,” reprimanded Bai Yuyan to his son as he separated the two.

On the other hand, Bai Lili rushed out of bed and gave her mother a big hug when she saw his parents and brother. The old man who had been with her since she was a child recently died right in front of her eyes, and she began to pour out all of her anguish and pain in her wails, especially the pain in her heart.

“Mom! Uncle Lan is... Uncle Lan is gone. I-It’s all my fault... If only... If only my blood wasn’t stolen... t-this wouldn’t happen at all!”

“It’s my fault. I killed Uncle Lan and everyone else. If only... If only I am careful enough!!!”

Bai Lili blamed herself for everything that was occurring in the realm, and she was on the verge of hysteria. This is a result of Jin Baihua’s unkind words, which deeply shocked her heart into this state. The others weren’t prepared for this and turned to Jin Shiyan, who might explain why Bai Lili was in this predicament.

Bai Qiyin said to Jin Shiyan, “Did you blame her for this shit? If you say yes I’m going to beat you up!”

“It’s not me.” Jin Shiyan said as even his voice was more hoarse than usual. Clearly, his state isn’t that much different than his wife’s situation.

Bai Yuyan said, “Bai Qiyin. I told you to hold back your temper!”

Sect Master Bai was alarmed when he noticed a tinge of fury in his kind father’s words. When a kind person finally loses his temper like his father, it is really frightening. He immediately stopped talking, but he kept glaring at Jin Shiyan, calling him a useless fool in his mind.

The parents of Jin Shiyan’s wife, Bai Yuyan and Xue Wuyue, were looking at him with curiosity. They were interested in learning the truth. Yes, of course! They were aware that Jin Shiyan wouldn’t speak in such a manner to their daughter, but Bai Lili is being held responsible for much more than she should be given credit for. Evidently, she had received a direct statement from someone that she was to blame for the current situation.

Sect Master Jin says, “It was Jin Baihua. He especially told her that it was his plan to take a bit of Lili’s blood and after successfully taking back some he successfully destroyed the barrier.”

Everyone is now aware of Bai Lili’s condition’s cause. Jin Baihua is a cunning false white lotus who is skilled in using words to manipulate others. The Jin Tiangui Sect was confined to its own land and unable to leave or seek assistance. Most of the time, each survivor’s stress level was at its highest.

Bai Lili must have been on the verge of collapsing when Jin Baihua saw her and seized the opportunity to mentally torture her by placing the blame for the ongoing conflict squarely on her shoulders. By itself, that is inaccurate. Bai Lili’s blood alone wouldn’t be able to publicly demolish the barrier even if she were immortal. Jin Baihua would have to gather at least half of the required amount of bloodline to move a barrier beyond an immortal grade.

To make a key to activate the world barrier, five great bloodlines are required. The five ancient families that rule the five major sects are represented by this tremendous bloodline.

Yun Family of the Lan Zhuayun Sect.

Bai Family of the Bai Lengshui Sect.

Lu Family of the Lu Weifeng Sect.

Jin Family of the Jin Tiangui Sect.

Hou Clan of the Hou Long Sect.

The Bai Clan, which possessed an Immortal Physique, was the most difficult of these clans to obtain their Blood. After all, a scratch on their skin of any size would instantly heal, much less bleed.

As she once more helps her daughter back onto the bed and puts her back to sleep by pressing her sleep acupoints, Xue Wuyue keeps trying to calm her down. She nonetheless keeps hearing what the other people in the room are saying. She couldn’t believe it herself when she learned that someone had successfully taken a small amount of blood from her daughter.

Madam Bai said, “That is not possible. We, the Bai Clan, would hardly bleed for a mere scratch. Tell us the whole details of how someone made my daughter’s wound bleed.”

“Yes, Mother Bai. Lili told me that a little maid suddenly ran towards her room saying that I was fighting with Jin Baihua during one of my patrols that day which definitely happened. She told me that she was carrying a flower vase at that time and was a bit careless which ended up getting a cut on her palm.” Jin Shiyan storied.

Xue Wuyue said, “Even more impossible to do so. Look here.”

Madam Bai exposed the palm of her hand after opening it. She slashed the palm of her other hand after conjuring a tiny ice sword in her other hand, but the wound closed quickly and without any blood being spilled.

Xue Wuyue says, “See. Even if Lili got wounded by the shards of a broken vase it would be possible for her to bleed. Our regeneration is faster when we fully awakened our immortal physique than not. An’er had helped Lili and Qiqi to fully awaken their physique years ago. So what you are saying is almost impossible to achieve unless...”

“Unless an outside variable was used which deactivated or something slowed her regeneration for a few seconds to get her blood. Shiyan, did Lili say something else?” asked Bai Yuyan.

Jin Shiyan frowned and tried to recall everything his wife had said that day, “She didn’t tell me something else... Actually, she wasn’t sure but at night on the same day her blood was taken, she had a short fever that lasted for a few hours but completely disappeared overnight.”

This only made Bai Qiyin more perplexed. A cultivator rarely becomes ill, even less so for someone who possesses an immortal bloodline like their Bai Family.

“Stop joking! We are cultivators. Why would Lili get a fever? It’s not like she is a mortal!” said Sect Master Bai.

Jin Shiyan said, “I’m not lying. I also thought it was impossible but that night she truly got a short fever. I almost want to bring her to the Lan Zhuayun Sect for Brother Wuan to check on her. But she was cured overnight and we decided to no longer pursue it.”

“But for a cultivator to get a fever? This is ridiculous. Unless it was poison or something else, there is no way we would suffer a fever! Much more poison is ineffective to our bloodline after awakening our physique.” Bai Qiyin said.

Although Bai Yuyan and Xue Wuyue had different opinions, what their son had said was also accurate. If it’s not a poisonous substance that can even injure an immortal like themselves, there is just one possibility left. As expected, Bai Yuyan felt his daughter’s pulse and extensively examined Bai Lili’s body with his qi. What he had feared had indeed occurred. A grave expression replaces his gentle demeanor.

Xue Wuyue felt nervous when she saw her husband frown, “Darling, is it death qi?”

“Yes. It’s not much but it’s affecting her cultivation and mind. We need to bring her back to see Xiao An immediately,” said Bai Yuyan.

In her storage, Xue Wuyue located an ice pill, which she assisted her sleeping daughter to consume. It lessens the body’s response to death qi. Although they are immortals, Bai Yuyan and Xue Wuyue weren’t medical professionals. Furthermore, only a Divine Doctor can remove a death qi, hence only Hei Anjing is capable of using such methods.

Jin Shiyan and Bai Qiyin were both startled, “Death Qi!?”

“Um. That little maid was either a demon in disguise or a devil’s vessel like Jin Baihua. Only devils can control death qi and it is also the only thing that can slow down the regeneration of the Immortal Physique.” Bai Yuyan explained. “We need to return as soon as possible. Only Xiao An is capable of extracting Death Qi from someone’s body. If we waste more time, Lili’s ending wouldn’t be good.”
