Xun Meng had previously stated that she could not decipher Bai Sheng Yi.
As the most outstanding person among the younger generation of the Xun family to learn the art of deduction, Xun Meng's last encounter with such a situation was when the Xun family's old ancestor's life was nearing its end, and she had to divine a sliver of hope for him. However, the final result was not satisfactory.
Thus, Xun Meng treasured Bai Sheng Yi as a friend.
This time, upon hearing that Bai Sheng Yi had gone out with Feng Wu Ya, she casually moved her abacus, only to find that unlike the usual indecipherability, it showed a sign of great misfortune.
She couldn't believe it at first, but after calculating repeatedly for an entire night, the result remained the same.
Xun Meng had no choice but to shamelessly approach Qian Xiao Peak to ask Qian Ying for help.
However, she was very puzzled. Qian Ying didn't seem anxious at all.
"Venerable Qian Ying, this junior is truly not lying. If your Reverence does not believe me, this junior can make a solemn oath." Xun Meng said urgently.
Qian Ying knew her attitude had caused the young lady to misunderstand, and quickly explained, "This Venerable believes you, but someone has already gone to save junior sister."
Upon hearing this, Xun Meng immediately felt at ease and took her leave.
"Little Miss Bai has excellent interpersonal skills. The Xun family generally does not calculate fortunes for outsiders," Cui Ming said thoughtfully.
Cultivators adhere to the cycle of karma. No matter how mysterious the Xun family's deduction techniques are, they are essentially prying into the secrets of heaven, which requires a price. Otherwise, why would most Xun family members have exceptionally short lifespans?
Qian Ying scoffed, "Junior sister has such charisma. Otherwise, would she have captured Senior Brother's ice-cold face?"
"Oh?" Cui Ming jumped up. "Damn it! Qian Ying, you mean my dog master, no, my master has finally gotten together with young grass?"
Qian Ying felt something was amiss with this statement, but couldn't quite pinpoint it. She nodded and said, "Yes, you also noticed that Senior Brother likes junior sister?"
"I knew it! The dog, no, the master was indeed moved, yet he wouldn't admit it!"
Cui Ming laughed up to the sky, having decided to tease her self-contradictory master well when the opportunity arose. But for now, she had to go help.
"I'm going to help Master save the young lady."
She had a contract with Qin Si, and it only took an instant to reach Qin Si's location. With a thought, she arrived.
"What kind of place is this? Why are there so many Prison Fiends?"
Cui Ming, as a righteous Xuan Jing Tiger, particularly detested these dark and sinister things. She swatted away a black spirit beast and scanned the surroundings, but could not see Qin Si's figure.
"Where is he?" Cui Ming tried to contact Qin Si through their contract, but there was no response.
In the deep night, unnoticed, in an inconspicuous corner of the mountain, within a large crack in the rocks, lay Bai Sheng Yi, shrunk to about a tenth of her size, and Qin Si, who had just intruded.
Not far from their bodies, a palm-sized ancient bronze mirror shimmered with clear light, rippling like a water surface.
Inside the bronze mirror.
Bai Murong and Qing Bu Li had devised many ways to attack Bai Sheng Yi, but Bai Sheng Yi's body seemed covered in a layer of impenetrable iron, making it impossible to get close.
"We can't waste any more time. Bu Li, the adult should have given you a trump card, right? If not now, then when?"
Bai Murong, with the gentlest voice and the most ferocious expression, spoke the most vicious words.
"After killing Bai Sheng Yi, I will personally dig out her eyes, extract her fire spiritual root to give to you, and then pull out her tendons and bones, so that she will never dare to contend with me in this life, or the next, or any future life."
Bai Sheng Yi, within the barrier constructed by her mental power, heard Bai Murong's words clearly.
She sneered, "Heh! Are you dreaming too much? You can't even break through my defenses, what else can you do? Useless thing!"
"Shut up!" Bai Murong shouted angrily, raising her sword to continue attacking Bai Sheng Yi, "I won't listen!"
The mental power barrier swayed precariously, but Bai Sheng Yi insisted on speaking.
"Bai Murong, you are so useless! That's why the Duke of Rong abandoned you, and even Li Shiqing abandoned you! Look at you, not only is your cultivation talent inferior to mine, but even your appearance is inferior to mine. Besides feigning gentleness, you have achieved nothing!"
"Ah! Shut up!" Bai Murong covered her head and shook it.
"Calm down." Qing Bu Li patted Bai Murong's shoulder with a dark expression.
Bai Murong said, "That's right, Bai Sheng Yi just wants to provoke my emotions. Bu Li, quickly..."
"Move aside!"
Before Bai Murong could finish speaking, Qing Bu Li roughly pushed her away!
Without giving her time to react, a large expanse of pure white flames suddenly appeared, seemingly harmless yet piercingly sharp like needle tips, surging towards them!
"You have two divine fires on you!"
Qing Bu Li's expression slightly changed, followed by immense greed. Heaven was helping him, actually allowing him to encounter someone with such great fortune as Bai Sheng Yi!
"Go!"
Qing Bu Li took out a talisman and threw it at Bai Sheng Yi. That talisman was one of his life-saving trump cards, containing a thunderous strike from a Nascent Soul peak cultivator!
Bai Sheng Yi's right eyelid twitched violently. She sensed the terrifying power within the talisman and wanted to dodge, but the disappearance of spiritual energy and the depletion of blood left her weak. She could only manage to control the Dragon Chasing Star Fire and her mental power to resist.
"Boom!"
Bai Sheng Yi sensed something shoot out from her forehead, heard a massive roar in her ears, and felt intense pain from her internal organs. She was violently thrown back.
Before long, Prison Fiends swarmed over, tearing at her flesh with their mouths.
Qing Bu Li and Bai Murong were also not faring well.
They never expected that Bai Sheng Yi would have something on her that could resist a Nascent Soul cultivator's attack!
Both of them were affected by the wave of attacks. Especially Qing Bu Li, who was specifically targeted by the power emanating from Bai Sheng Yi. He was now unconscious.
However, both of them were in better condition than Bai Sheng Yi. Bai Murong recovered first. Coughing up blood, her steps were light, and the smile on her lips almost reached her ears.
"Bai Sheng Yi, you are truly pitiful, to die here silently and alone."
Bai Murong looked at Bai Sheng Yi being torn apart by the Prison Fiends and felt an extreme sense of satisfaction.
Holding her long sword, she approached Bai Sheng Yi step by step. The Prison Fiends, upon seeing her, actually scattered in fear.
"Die! Bai Sheng... Ahhh!"
A sharp pain shot through her eyes, and she instantly couldn't see anything. Bai Murong was shocked and furious, only to see Bai Sheng Yi, who had been cowering on the ground as if near death, suddenly leap up, still possessing enough strength to kick her long sword away!
"Bai Sheng Yi! You're alright?"
Bai Murong panicked and immediately turned to retreat, but Bai Sheng Yi had been waiting for this moment and wouldn't let her escape!
Bai Sheng Yi slammed her elbow into Bai Murong's shoulder. Taking advantage of Bai Murong's panicked retreat, the Reincarnation Brush transformed into a sharp sword and pierced Bai Murong's leg. She kicked Bai Murong to the ground and completely suppressed her!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Bai Sheng Yi's first action was to viciously slash Bai Murong several times.
Listening to Bai Murong's screams, she sneered, "Why are you screaming? Don't you like this sort of thing?"
"Bai Sheng Yi! You will die a terrible death!" Bai Murong said fiercely.
Bai Sheng Yi snorted, "This auntie will definitely live longer than you useless thing!"
"Ah!" Bai Murong was driven to madness by Bai Sheng Yi's belittling. She hated comparing herself to Bai Sheng Yi, even though Bai Sheng Yi was merely an abandoned slave, while she was born so outstanding!
"Bai Sheng Yi! Don't get too smug. You can't get out of here. When Bu Li wakes up, you will still die! I will let those Prison Fiends bite you to death!" Bai Murong now hated herself for not being able to control and command the Prison Fiends.
Bai Sheng Yi finally knew the names of these black spirit beasts, but she didn't have the mood to observe them further, because as Bai Murong finished speaking, Qing Bu Li's limbs moved.
"Bu Li! Quickly, woo woo..."
Bai Murong still wanted to loudly wake Qing Bu Li, but Bai Sheng Yi actually covered her mouth!
Bai Murong became even more excited. "Bai Sheng Yi, it's still unknown who will win! I'll wait to see when you die today!"
Bai Sheng Yi frowned tightly. The only remaining mental power on her body protected her from being torn by the Prison Fiends. Her meridians were dry, her spiritual energy was squeezed out completely, and she couldn't even control the Dragon Chasing Star Fire and the Reincarnation Brush.
Worse still, she no longer had the strength to move. She could only sit on Bai Murong, watching Qing Bu Li open his eyes.
Qing Bu Li had woken up.
"I underestimated you. You must die." Qing Bu Li wasted no more words and directly thrust his spear towards Bai Sheng Yi's chest!
With one spear, he could finish Bai Sheng Yi! End it all!
