CHAPTER 422: 420. REVENGE

"Miss, I also don’t know why the Purple Master is here."

Despite saying this in his heart, Black Fish’s mind was incessantly wandering.

The Bainian family held a significant status at Heaven and Earth Lake, unmatched by any Four-star Influence like Xuanse Lake; thus, Bainian Xiang’s status was naturally very high. Leaving aside other connections, merely the name Bainian was enough for those in the Mountain Suppression Realm at Xuanse Lake to treat them with courtesy, considering them honored guests. Not to mention the relationship with Zi Ran.

Therefore, Town Suppression Realm members often come seeking Zi Ran Master and are scolded by our Miss.

Because Zi Ran is one of the only five Three-star Vortex Divine Artisans among the 108 lakes of Heaven and Earth Lake.

Her status is enough to rival that of their Bainian family’s Clan Leader.

And might even be higher.

Yet she is so friendly towards that Sect Leader Wen.

As if they are old friends.

"Could it be... that Sect Leader Wen has a way to cure the Purple Master’s hand ailment?" Black Fish’s mind suddenly jumped to this idea, and he verbalized it.

"Really?"

"Miss, aside from this, I can’t think of any other possibility."

"Just these things? It wouldn’t be deceiving my master, would it?"

"No, if it were a deception, they wouldn’t get out. No one would be foolish enough to assume there are no strong individuals around the Vortex Divine Artisan."

"Ah... the more I hear, the more confused I get." As Sea Dragon Mountain approached, she couldn’t be bothered to dwell on it anymore.

But if things are as Black Fish says.

Then Master will regain the ability to create the Vortex Map.

Thinking about this, she immediately urged Black Fish forward.

Upon returning to the island and heading towards the small hut, she heard a mournful sound coming from the forest, seemingly wailing.

Out of curiosity, Bainian Xiang chose to turn into the forest path and follow the direction of the sound—because that sound seemed to belong to Xiaowang—the tusk.

"Woo~"

The sound drew closer, and Bainian Xiang quickly parted the obstructing branches.

The scene that followed left her stunned.

The tusk was actually lying on the ground, its Wolf Fang Club discarded several meters away, looking defeated. The reason for its submission was that yellow dog.

Yes!

The yellow dog that came with Sect Leader Wen—just a dog not even a demon!

"Haha!"

Suddenly, a voice called from outside the forest.

Bainian Xiang remembered this voice as belonging to Lin Kewu.

When the yellow dog heard this voice, it glanced at her, then barked at the tusk before trotting away.

Bainian Xiang watched this scene, too shocked to speak.

Master had said before, Xiaowang possesses a very unique bloodline, can’t be beaten by Divine Profound Middle Realm, or Upper Realm humans or demons, yet won’t submit.

But now, it was lying on the ground wailing.

Doesn’t this mean the bloodline suppression is very strong?

Apparently, that creature pretends to be a dog!

Clearly, it’s a Great Demon.

"Xiaowang, are you alright?" Bainian Xiang collected her thoughts and hurriedly ran over to help the tusk up, looking towards the outside of the forest, "You guys... are really too much!"

...

Outside the forest.

Luo Mi patted the Mountain Dog’s head, "Haha, don’t run around, this isn’t Yunlan Mountain."

"Let’s go. Both Sect Leader and Purple Master are on the other side of the island, let’s wander there." Lin Kewu said, stepping onto the main road.

When the group arrived on the other side of the island, Wen Ping was sitting by the corridor of the pavilion, practicing controlling the temperature of Hellfire.

After all, this wasn’t the Immortal Sect’s kitchen, the flames didn’t have an automatic adjustment feature. He enjoyed using Punishment Fire to burn things but hadn’t used it for making Spiritual Cuisine.

Controlling the temperature required practice.

"Woof woof."

Hearing the Mountain Dog’s barking, Wen Ping paused and withdrew the flame.

"Did the tusk provoke you?"

"You struck it down... and got witnessed."

Hearing this, Wen Ping felt somewhat helpless.

Hit it if you hit it.

Taunt haha, and deserve to be beaten.

Just being seen like this is a bit embarrassing.

After all, this isn’t someone else’s home.

"Here."

As he spoke, footsteps approached, and Bainian Xiang directly threw a bag at Wen Ping from the steps.

Wen Ping caught it with a raised hand, about to speak when Bainian Xiang spoke up, "Here’s what you wanted... Next time, buy these yourself if they cost just a few White Crystals."

"That’s what your master said. I wanted to buy myself..." Wen Ping responded with a smile.

"I..."

Bainian Xiang was speechless.

Apparently, that’s how it really happened.

"I don’t care... don’t make me do it next time. By the way... can you really help my master?" Bainian Xiang’s voice suddenly softened, becoming much gentler.

This change surprised Wen Ping.

"Of course."

"You said it, don’t fail in curing later."

"Ah Xiang, don’t talk nonsense." At this moment, Zi Ran walked down from the pavilion, casting Bainian Xiang a brief glare, her gaze falling on the cloth bag in Wen Ping’s hand.

Wen Ping then opened it and looked inside briefly.

"Sect Leader Wen, is everything bought right?"

"Yes."

"Quantity is sufficient, everyone can eat together when ready. Now I’ll get busy."

After speaking, Wen Ping headed towards the kitchen.

"Eat together?" Zi Ran paused, not understanding what Wen Ping meant, but seeing him step away, she hurriedly responded, "Then thank Sect Leader Wen."

As Wen Ping walked away, Bainian Xiang suddenly slapped her forehead, remembering what she had yet to finish saying.

"Master... that dog beat Xiaowang."

Zi Ran paused,

"What dog?"

"Just that yellow dog."

"Oh."

After responding, Zi Ran followed behind Wen Ping, clearly not concerned about any dog or Xiaowang matters.

"Master..." Watching her master’s distant back, Bainian Xiang felt a mix of laughter and tears, then abruptly turned around and slipped out of the pavilion.

As she left, naturally she was heading to find Lin Kewu and co.—she wanted to help Xiaowang get revenge.

With Master not interested, she’ll do it!

A few in the Body Refining Realm, plus one in Lower Profound Realm, she’s more than enough!

When she found Lin Kewu’s group, they were standing on a round stone, gazing at the rippling lake, already holding their swords.

As soon as Bainian Xiang approached, she immediately pointed her jade hand straight at Lin Kewu.

"You, come out, one-on-one!"

"Why?" Lin Kewu responded, but the sword in the scabbard flew out directly.

The sword turned into a white light.

It plunged into the water.

Directly "slicing" open a hundred-meter long gap on the lake, then soared into the sky.

"I..."

Bainian Xiang froze looking at the scene.

"What’s this swordsmanship?"

Her move to open the Meridian Gate halted abruptly, gaze fixed completely on the flying sword.

The flying sword ascended.

Her gaze followed it upwards.

Watching it fly overhead, a sense of crisis swept through—a cultivator’s innate intuition.

"No... it’s you! You, come out, and fight!"

Bainian Xiang hurriedly changed her direction, pointing at Luo Mi.

This Lin Kewu was troublesome!

Fight later!

Teach this Body Refining one a lesson first.
