"You haven't heard of me?"
Bai Wuxi was bewildered. He had ascended with a twelfth-grade pill, a renowned figure. How could this dead girl, a formation master who also ascended from the lower realm, not have heard of him?
He subtly glanced at the old clan leader's expression. Seeing no sign of objection, he breathed a sigh of relief and sneered.
"I am the first person to ascend to the Upper Realm with a twelfth-grade pill!"
Jin Bao'er frowned as she looked at him, her heart filled with surprise and disappointment.
Although she was a formation master, she didn't pay much attention to memorizing the names of famous pill cultivators! After all, she had studied hard only to survive those two people and gain another life-saving skill! The only one she knew was the senior who ascended with a twelfth-grade pill. She felt as much disappointment now as admiration she had felt then!
Could a pill cultivator who helped his clan harm others be a good person? However, this was his own choice, unrelated to her, and she was not qualified to judge.
"Oh..."
Seeing her expression turn indifferent again, Bai Wuxi felt a surge of anger! He had always spoken of this status with pride. Yet, the young girl before him, knowing his nobility, could display such an attitude...
Before he could voice his anger, Jin Bao'er waved her right hand, and a miniature pill furnace suddenly appeared in her palm!
Bai Wuxi hadn't paid much attention at first but then heard Jin Bao'er's sarcastic smile.
"I thought a senior who possessed the Luochen Furnace would be a figure of unparalleled grace and elegance. I didn't expect..."
After all, the Luochen Furnace had been in her hands for many years. Its spiritual energy was pure, making pill refining stable and preventing explosions! She never expected the original owner to be such a person!
The next second, Bai Wuxi's pupils contracted, and his gaze quickly fell on the small pill furnace in her hand. Upon sensing its pure aura, his whole body trembled! His face turned deathly pale, and he retreated repeatedly!
This strange scene struck Jin Bao'er as very odd! A normal person, upon seeing something they had once used, wouldn't react with such... fear, would they?
Moreover, for a pill refiner, a pill furnace was more important than life itself! When the owner ascended, the pill furnace wasn't taken with him, which had caused much consternation and doubt in the cultivation world...
Could there be some hidden story behind it?!
"Speaking of which, this pill furnace originally belonged to you, Senior. I shall return it to you today."
With that, she raised her hand as if to throw it. This action made Bai Wuxi's face turn deathly pale, and he retreated frantically, feeling extremely guilty!
"Clang!"
The pill furnace struck the barrier with a soft collision and then landed steadily. Jin Bao'er picked it up casually, her eyes sharp!
"You are not the owner of this pill furnace!"
As soon as she spoke, the man, lost in his own memories, roared back!
"I am! I am! You're lying!"
The people trapped within the formation barrier, in their anxious despair, were drawn by the commotion. Recognizing the clan's formation master, they turned to look at Jin Bao'er, their eyes brightening, and they remained silent.
That's right, Jin Bao'er was also a formation master. If they couldn't do it, perhaps Jin Bao'er could break the formation! Once the formation was broken, they could retreat immediately, at least to save their lives.
Jin Bao'er was unaware of their thoughts. Her gaze remained fixed on the man before her, who was on the verge of a breakdown. Clearly, the Luochen Furnace didn't belong to him! Then... her eyes darkened! She tested him.
"The twelfth-grade pill wasn't refined by you either, was it?"
"Boom!!"
Bai Wuxi snapped back to attention, looking at Jin Bao'er in horror, his eyes slightly bloodshot! At the same time, he felt everyone's gaze upon him. His fists clenched in his sleeves, and he forced himself to calm down.
"Nonsense! Do you think anyone can refine such a pill? If not me, then who else?!"
Jin Bao'er had only been guessing, but judging by his reaction, she understood most of it! She was astonished! She hadn't expected it to be true. It made sense! Once a pill was refined, it couldn't be bound to the refiner. If the timing was right, it was possible for it to be stolen!
At this moment, within her sea of consciousness! A yellow talisman moved slightly...
Outside, Linlang Liuli had witnessed everything. Her expression darkened as she looked at Bai Wuxi, her tone calm and serious.
"Is what she's saying true?"
Beneath her calm exterior lay immense turmoil and murderous intent! Bai Wuxi could not fail to notice this! His face instantly turned ashen, and then he fell to his knees abruptly.
"Clan leader... she's spouting nonsense! This is slander! It's definitely slander! She's deliberately trying to trick you into attacking me so she can break the barrier!"
Under the threat to his life, his brain worked frantically, and he accidentally stumbled upon a plausible lie. He then resolutely stuck to this story, glaring fiercely at Jin Bao'er...
Linlang Liuli remained silent for a moment, pondering something in her mind. Finally, she nodded!
This action made Bai Wuxi completely relax, sweat beading on his forehead! He felt immensely relieved.
Immediately following...
"I naturally believe you, so if this batch of pills isn't twelfth-grade... Hmph!"
Another cold snort made Bai Wuxi tremble all over! Yet, he had no choice but to promise. At this moment, his hatred for Jin Bao'er knew no bounds! He had never dreamed of seeing the Luochen Furnace again in his lifetime. Who would have thought that after centuries, an unknown little girl would bring it up?
Seeing that he was still alive, Jin Bao'er was not disappointed. She directly put away the Luochen Furnace! This belonged to the true senior; she had to keep it safe.
In response, Linlang Liuli snorted.
"Ignorant fool, cherishing such a trinket!"
Jin Bao'er looked up at the sound, her gaze indifferent! She retorted directly!
"That's still better than your ugly face. You're so ugly it's out of this world! Looking at you too much spoils my appetite!"
Her words instantly made Linlang Liuli uncomfortable! Her face turned extremely ugly, and she turned around and ordered fiercely.
"Where are they? Release them and tear these people to shreds!"
Jin Bao'er pursed her lips and spread her divine sense throughout the entire barrier!
The odds of a Heavenly Dao King fighting a Heavenly Dao Emperor were almost zero! But she was fearless. After witnessing the scene of the nine Heavenly Dao Emperors falling to Heavenly Dao Kings just now, why should she be afraid? They were merely imposters who had stolen bodies, plundered cultivation, and relied on luck!
In the end, what doesn't belong to you will never be yours!
Seeing her calm and steady demeanor, the others thought she had a plan and finally felt at ease...
Following that, a ripple suddenly appeared in the air on one side of the barrier!
Jin Bao'er noticed it immediately and, raising her Soul Severing Blade, charged forward without hesitation! This time, she wouldn't look at karmic energy, nor would she consider who deserved it. Anyone who had stolen another's body would be killed!
A chilling glint suddenly burst forth, and killing intent, accompanied by the power of the Great Dao, descended! The half-extended foot emerging from the ripple was instantly severed!
Blood sprayed out directly...
