CHAPTER 1187: CHAPTER 1187: RESCUING XIAO MEI

Upon hearing Bai Xiaofan’s words, Ye Qing’er responded softly and then followed him, continuing to head north.

"Mr. Bai, do we really have to kill to survive?"

After a long while, Ye Qing’er suddenly lifted her small face, looking at Bai Xiaofan with utmost seriousness, her beautiful eyes flickering with a puzzled expression.

"Why do you ask that?"

"Because if you hadn’t shown up just now, I might have already been killed by Zhao Ye and the others, and I wouldn’t even have died peacefully but would have been humiliated by them!"

"Actually, there are many ways to survive, but we are now cultivators, and in the world of cultivators, the phrase ’the strong reign supreme’ is eternally unchanging!"

Bai Xiaofan had not expected Ye Qing’er to ask such a question. After thinking for a moment, he continued to speak.

"Every time the Immortal’s relic opens, rather than saying it’s for disciples of the various sects in Kunlun Void to seek fortunes, it’s more like the three major sects joining forces for a purge, completely killing all the young disciples of other sects. In this way, the strength of the three major sects will become increasingly powerful, ensuring their monopoly in Kunlun Void remains unshaken forever!"

"For example, our Taixu Sect, if I hadn’t used thunderous methods to kill Nie Tianji, shocking other sects into not daring to act recklessly against us, do you think Taixu Sect would have the qualifications to stand upon Kunlun Void? The three major sects would have sent people to annihilate us long ago!"

"And just now, why did Zhao Ye and the others dare to provoke you? If your cultivation level wasn’t at the early stage of Divinity Transformation, but at the early stage of the Transcendance Tribulation Stage? I fear they wouldn’t even consider provoking you and their first thought would be how to escape upon seeing you!"

"Remember, your master dedicated all his efforts hoping you could inherit his legacy. After his centenary, continuing to make Chang Qing Pavilion flourish, at the very least, being able to live without having to defer to other sects’ whims, all of which are based on ’the strong reign supreme’!"

Bai Xiaofan could be said to have fully disclosed his thoughts to Ye Qing’er beside him!

He had seen those disciples from Chang Qing Pavilion; among them are several at mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, but they’re not young, making further progress in cultivation in the future extremely difficult.

Without a significant opportunity, they might never break through to the Transcendance Tribulation Stage in this lifetime!

And the only disciple in Chang Qing Pavilion with hopes of breaking through to Transcendance Tribulation Stage is none other than Ye Qing’er.

This might explain why Master Chang Qing would risk offending the three major sects to ally with him and strive to protect Ye Qing’er!

The strength of a sect might take many generations, but a sect’s downfall and extinction could happen in an instant!

As his words concluded, Bai Xiaofan no longer spoke, continuing to lead Ye Qing’er forward.

Ye Qing’er, deep in thought, quietly followed beside Bai Xiaofan, seemingly still contemplating and digesting what Bai Xiaofan had just said!

"Mr. Bai, I’ve figured it out. If possible, please help me. I want to become stronger, at least to protect my fellow disciples from being bullied by others!"

After a long while, Ye Qing’er suddenly grabbed Bai Xiaofan’s arm, her small face full of earnest determination.

"Stop kidding. You should first focus on strengthening yourself to protect yourself. After all, this Immortal relic is fraught with dangers, and I can’t guarantee to protect you at all times!"

Bai Xiaofan looked at Ye Qing’er with amusement, gently patting her small head with his big hand.

"Hmph, don’t underestimate me. I’m really powerful!"

Ye Qing’er pouted discontentedly, glaring at Bai Xiaofan with frustration!

The two of them didn’t know how long they had been walking, but it must have been several hours by then.

However, what surprised Bai Xiaofan was that there seemed to be no distinction between day and night in this Immortal relic; the sun in the sky remained fixed as if it had never moved.

After walking a little further, Bai Xiaofan paused slightly, stopping his steps.

Ahead, he sensed many auras, and these auras were chaotic, likely indicating a battle!

"What’s the matter, Mr. Bai?"

Ye Qing’er looked at Bai Xiaofan in confusion, not understanding why he had suddenly stopped!

"There’s a fight ahead; let’s go see if it’s anyone we know!"

Bai Xiaofan said quietly, launching himself forward like an arrow shot from a bowstring!

Ye Qing’er also didn’t ask much, quickly following Bai Xiaofan at full speed.

Their speed was swift, so it wasn’t long before Ye Qing’er also saw the crowd gathered ahead.

At this moment, it appeared that the crowd was already engaged in combat, seemingly two groups fighting over something!

"Mr. Bai, those seem to be some of our Chang Qing Pavilion disciples!"

Ye Qing’er suddenly spotted several familiar figures in the fighting crowd, her fellow brother disciples who had come to the Immortal relic with her, and quickly informed Bai Xiaofan.

"Yes, I see them, my people are also there!"

Bai Xiaofan nodded, diving straight into the crowd, casually grabbing a cultivator by the head and throwing him out!

"Whew, you came just in time. If you hadn’t, I would have been bullied by this bunch today!"

Seeing Bai Xiaofan’s sudden intervention, Xiao Mei laughed coquettishly while effortlessly thrusting her longsword into an enemy’s chest!

This little girl faked being meek while killing more decisively than anyone!

Soon after, Ye Qing’er charged in with a determined look, swinging her longsword incessantly, forcing many to retreat!

With Bai Xiaofan and Ye Qing’er’s arrival, the situation instantly reversed!

The cultivators who had been besieging Xiao Mei and the others found half of their numbers dead or injured within moments, and the remaining few lost the will to fight, turning to run!

The few Chang Qing Pavilion disciples wanted to pursue but were stopped by Ye Qing’er!

Even though their opponents’ numbers dwindled, without Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei, only six Chang Qing Pavilion disciples remained.

If they recklessly pursued and forced the enemies into a corner, with Bai Xiaofan and Xiao Mei absent, the tables might turn unexpectedly!

"What’s going on? Which sect are these disciples from?"

Casually holding Xiao Mei, Bai Xiaofan asked softly.

Just a moment ago, it was clear neither the deceased nor the fleeing cultivators belonged to the same sect as they lacked coordination and practiced different cultivation techniques!
