Chapter 70

In the Wuliang Mountains, after Bai Xiaosheng quickly recorded the martial arts of the Wuliang Sword Sect, he silently descended the mountain with his disciple Qin Shuang. Upon reaching the crossroads, Bai Xiaosheng said to Qin Shuang, "Shuang'er, you go back to the Famous Sword Manor first. I need to take a walk by myself."

"Yes, Master!" Qin Shuang left, and Bai Xiaosheng, now alone, felt much more relaxed.

The story of "Demigods and Half-Devils" began, and he wanted to see how this different version would unfold.

"Only, I wonder where Duan Yu and Zhong Ling, that little girl, have gone?" Bai Xiaosheng determined the direction and followed the path they had taken. He didn't know that due to his involvement, the fates of Duan Yu and Zhong Ling had changed significantly.

In the original story, Duan Yu, driven by his benevolence, tried to dissuade the Shennong Sect, only to be fed poison and have Zhong Ling captured by the Shennong Sect. Here, he followed Bai Xiaosheng and didn't meddle in other people's affairs, but Bai Xiaosheng forgot about Zhong Ling's curiosity.

After hearing about the power of the Lingjiu Palace on Piaomiao Peak, she wanted to see it for herself. So, the two of them turned back after not walking far. In the shadows, Duan Yu witnessed the fierce battle between the Shennong Sect and the Wuliang Sword Sect, where many people died. This deeply affected Duan Yu, and driven by his benevolence, he jumped out to stop the battle, hoping to resolve the conflict with compassion.

However, the Shennong Sect wouldn't listen to him. If it weren't for Duan Yu following Bai Xiaosheng, they wouldn't have given him a chance to speak. Nevertheless, he was still punished, and the slaughter continued, with bloodshed making Duan Yu very angry. He disregarded his own safety and rushed to Sima Xuan, trying to persuade him to stop, but was instead captured by Sima Xuan. However, out of respect for Bai Xiaosheng, Sima Xuan didn't intend to harm him, just to teach him a lesson.

Zhong Ling, unaware of the danger, immediately released the lightning marten when she saw Duan Yu in peril. Sima Xuan and some members of the Shennong Sect were bitten by the lightning marten, and in a fit of rage, Sima Xuan captured Zhong Ling, which enraged Duan Yu.

In a panic, Duan Yu grabbed Sima Xuan, trying to free Zhong Ling. This triggered the Baiming Divine Skill within him, absorbing Sima Xuan's decades of internal strength. Some disciples were also affected, losing their internal strength to Duan Yu.

Unaware of what was happening, Sima Xuan shouted, "The Power-Draining Technique!" causing the Shennong Sect disciples to be terrified. Duan Yu, however, couldn't care less and pulled Zhong Ling away, using the Lingbo Weibu to escape without a trace.

In the original story, Zhong Ling was captured, and Duan Yu, trying to save her, fell off a cliff, where he obtained the Baiming Divine Skill and Lingbo Weibu, and saw the jade statue. Now, he had lost this opportunity, but his future path was no less rugged.

Duan Yu and Zhong Ling, in their panic, ran for a long time and eventually encountered Yuesan, who was searching for the Manggu Zhuha. Because they startled this king of poisons, Yuesan was furious and chased them relentlessly. Duan Yu, in a moment of carelessness, fell off the cliff with Zhong Ling, nearly becoming a tragic couple.

At the bottom of the cliff, Zhong Ling found her lost lightning marten and called it back, but the lightning marten led them to the Manggu Zhuha, the king of poisons.

In the original story, Duan Yu swallowed the Manggu Zhuha, gaining immunity to all poisons, but now, the two of them had caused a major disaster. The lightning marten attacked Zhong Ling, and Duan Yu, in a panic, shielded her with his body, being sprayed with poison. Although he managed to drag Zhong Ling away, he soon collapsed, his face turning green.

This terrified Zhong Ling. She carried Duan Yu and struggled to climb up the cliff to seek help, only to be caught by Yuesan, who had not gone far.

Fortunately, Yuesan was preoccupied with the Manggu Zhuha and didn't harm them. However, the two of them were still taken away, and Duan Yu's poison was slowly consuming his body, threatening his life.

On the other side, Bai Xiaosheng, after searching for a long time without finding them, was puzzled. As he turned a corner, he saw a black-clad woman riding a black horse galloping towards him.

Bai Xiaosheng was taken aback, looking behind the woman and indeed seeing two old women leading a group of men and women in hot pursuit. He thought to himself, "It's really her! I didn't expect to run into her."

He smiled and blocked the road, placing his sword on his shoulder and said, "Oh, isn't this our beautiful Mu? Why are you in such a state?"

Mu Wanqing, whom Bai Xiaosheng knew, was not unfamiliar to him. In fact, they were neighbors. Not only Mu Wanqing, but even the Wanjie Valley was not far from Bai Xiaosheng. He had greeted Zhong Wanqiu, let alone the fiery beauty Mu Wanqing.

Unfortunately, the beauty was too fiery, leaving Bai Xiaosheng at a loss!

"You pervert, get out of the way!" Mu Wanqing shouted, lashing out with a whip while riding the galloping horse. Bai Xiaosheng laughed and, with a twist of his body, leaped into the air and landed directly on the galloping horse. "What are you doing? Get off!" Mu Wanqing, enraged, swung her hand at Bai Xiaosheng, but he easily caught her arm and, with his left hand, pulled her into his embrace.

Bai Xiaosheng laughed, "Fiery beauty, you always call me a pervert. Today, I'll show you what a pervert can do!"

"You scoundrel..." Mu Wanqing was furious and embarrassed, her face, hidden by a black veil, turning bright red.

To be honest, she didn't hate Bai Xiaosheng. They had known each other for a few years, and she was aware of his reputation—high martial arts skills and a good appearance, making him quite likable.

However, being treated this way, Mu Wanqing's tough personality couldn't help but be agitated.

As they tussled, the black rose slowed down, its hooves thudding on the ground. The two old women leading a group of men and women caught up. They surrounded the two, drawing their weapons, and the leading old woman shouted, "Boy, who are you? Don't meddle in our affairs, or you'll regret it!"

"Ha ha... Why are you so angry, old lady?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed, pointing at Mu Wanqing and immediately putting her to sleep, making her lean against him. He looked at his clothes, noticing a red spot on his left shoulder, the blood left by Mu Wanqing. The girl had been injured by the old women.

Bai Xiaosheng narrowed his eyes, scanning the group with a mocking smile, "Are you so angry because you're still a virgin and no one wants you?"

"Boy, you're asking for death!"

As soon as he spoke, the old woman was enraged and swung her wooden staff at him. The others, seeing this, also attacked with their weapons.

"Ha ha... A firefly dares to be so bold!" Bai Xiaosheng laughed loudly, his voice shaking the air, causing the attackers to stagger and stop. Some, whose skills were not strong enough, spat blood and fell to the ground.

The two old women were startled and quickly retreated. One of them shouted, "Who are you?"

"You bullied my woman and don't even know who I am? You deserve to be punished!" Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand, and with a slap, the old woman's neck twisted, her face quickly turning red.

Despite the distance of at least four or five meters, Bai Xiaosheng's palm struck her face, making the two old women change color. However, not knowing if they were accustomed to bullying others, they still shouted, "Boy, do you know who we are? Do you want to die?"

Seeing their fierce but inwardly fearful expressions, Bai Xiaosheng smiled playfully, "Who you are has nothing to do with me... Oh, your master is very powerful, isn't he?"

His face showed a sudden realization, but his eyes were filled with deep mockery, making the two old women secretly hate him. They exchanged a glance and suddenly shouted, "Kill him!"

Bai Xiaosheng sneered, watching the group charge again, his killing intent rising. With a hum, his sword was drawn and sheathed in one fluid motion, and the group of people stopped, their faces filled with fear. Thud... one after another, they fell to the ground, their necks split by a bloody seam, blood spilling onto the road.

"A bunch of trash! Pah!"

Bai Xiaosheng spat, holding Mu Wanqing, and spurred the black rose, saying smugly, "Beautiful Mu, you're mine now. Hehe..."
