[First update delivered, please subscribe for support!]

Princess Zi Xuan was severely injured earlier while protecting the Flying Flower Zen Temple!

Under such circumstances, she was indeed no match for Zhao Qiuyan, especially since Zhao Qiuyan had cultivated the powerful Killing Divine Ability of the Demon Blood Sect—Slaying All Things!

However, just as Zhao Qiuyan lunged towards Princess Zi Xuan, Ye Tianchen would not stand idly by and was prepared to stop Zhao Qiuyan. But just as Zhao Qiuyan was about to pounce, a beam of light pierced through Zhao Qiuyan’s forehead. This beam was swift and ruthless, leaving everyone astounded and shocked. No one had anticipated it, not even Ye Tianchen sensed this deadly move beforehand!

A man dressed in a white Taoist robe appeared. When this man showed up, Zhao Qiuyan’s expression was one of surprise, shock, and complete disbelief, as if she had never imagined this man would appear and that he would kill her, that she would die at his hands!

”Why... why...” Zhao Qiuyan looked at the man in the white Taoist robe with tears in her eyes and asked.

”From the moment you sought to cultivate the Slaying All Things divine ability, your death was destined. You shouldn’t have been too greedy!” the man in the white Taoist robe shook his head and said.

”Greedy? Was I greedy, or were you manipulating? When we shared moments of intimacy, you mentioned the Slaying All Things divine ability of the Demon Blood Sect, and you voluntarily offered to teach it to me. You...” Zhao Qiuyan couldn’t believe it, and with a sense of unwillingness, she questioned.

The man in the white Taoist robe looked coldly at Zhao Qiuyan with eyes full of indifference and said calmly, ”That’s because from the very beginning, you were using me, relying on me, hoping I would be your backing, allowing you to roam freely in the Northern State Territory. Our relationship was merely mutual exploitation, each taking what they needed.”

”Mutual exploitation? Each taking what they needed? Yes, our relationship was like that, but why did you willingly teach me the Slaying All Things divine ability? You... I understand now. From the start, it was your scheme!” Zhao Qiuyan seemed like she finally understood something, her expression becoming fierce as she spoke.

”Now that you understand, it’s already too late. Whether you understand or not, the result remains the same; you won’t escape death!” the man in the white Taoist robe said disdainfully.

”You... Bai Wuji. People say I’m wanton, ruthless, despicable, and deeply calculating. I never expected a man like you to be even more insidious and cunning. I truly misunderstood you; I never saw through you!” Zhao Qiuyan said through gritted teeth.

”Seeing through or not seeing through makes no difference. From the moment you approached me, I knew you wanted to exploit me, and it suited me as I needed to use you. Of course, my exploitation went beyond the physical; I utilized the evil power of Slaying All Things to nourish myself. Now it’s time to retrieve that evil power. Your usefulness has reached its end, and there’s no point in keeping an immortal around, is there?” the man in the white Taoist robe asked indifferently.

”Bai Wuji... you’re truly too sinister. I never imagined that after having countless men at my feet, serving as my support and protection, you would be my last and most powerful shelter. To think I would die at your hands, to be used to nourish the evil power of Slaying All Things. I was too foolish!” Zhao Qiuyan said painfully.

”You’re nothing but an ant, insignificant. Die!” The man in the white Taoist robe waved his right hand, and instantly, the evil power surged out of Zhao Qiuyan’s body, turning her into a mist of blood that dissipated in the world!

Bai Wuji arrived; he was the man in the white Taoist robe. But what no one expected was that upon his arrival, Bai Wuji’s first action was to kill his own woman, Zhao Qiuyan. Many were puzzled and could not comprehend why Bai Wuji killed Zhao Qiuyan—weren’t they partners? Weren’t they a pair of wretched lovers?

”What’s going on here? How did Bai Wuji suddenly appear?”

”Bai Wuji’s appearance isn’t strange; the foundation of the Flying Flower Zen Temple justifies anyone’s arrival. But for him to kill his own woman, Zhao Qiuyan, upon arriving is truly unexpected.”

”Indeed, even if they’re a pair of indecent lovers, exploiting each other for mutual gain, Bai Wuji didn’t have to kill Zhao Qiuyan. It’s completely unreasonable!”

”Didn’t you hear Bai Wuji and Zhao Qiuyan’s conversation earlier? Their mutual exploitation wasn’t solely about physical intimacy; it also involved the evil power Bai Wuji planted in Zhao Qiuyan, which was nourished by Zhao Qiuyan’s flesh. Now Bai Wuji is retrieving it!”

”It seems Bai Wuji is truly a ruthless person. Is he stronger than Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, and Dao Yu?”

Zhao Qiuyan died by the hand of the man she relied on, ending up as a mist of blood, and her form and spirit were obliterated. Princess Zi Xuan’s words about Zhao Qiuyan proved accurate—Zhao Qiuyan spent her life seducing men to rely on them, using them to strengthen herself, yet ultimately was exploited by a man and died at his hands!

Bai Wuji killed Zhao Qiuyan, and it all seemed so effortless to Bai Wuji, so natural, as if Zhao Qiuyan was just a woman entirely unrelated to him, as if he didn’t know her at all—truly heartless and ruthless!

”Bai Wuji, regardless of what Zhao Qiuyan was to you, she was your woman, and you actually killed her with your own hands. You’re too cruel!” Princess Zi Xuan couldn’t help but glare at Bai Wuji.

”My woman? Yes, she was my woman, but she was also many men’s woman. To me, she was just a tool for venting and a tool for nourishing the evil power!” Bai Wuji said expressionlessly.

”So you really used Zhao Qiuyan to nurture the evil power of Slaying All Things. From the start, you were destined to kill her with your own hands!” Princess Zi Xuan frowned.

Bai Wuji glanced at the evil power in his palm, took a sniff, and felt immensely pleased as he said, ”It seems my method was correct. This evil power, nourished by human flesh and blood, has not only grown stronger but can significantly increase my skill. Perhaps I should find more people like her to nourish this evil power in the future!”

”Although Zhao Qiuyan was wanton and ruthless, she wasn’t as cruel and cunning as you. Bai Wuji, you’ll definitely become a scourge in the martial arts world!” Princess Zi Xuan said, staring intently at Bai Wuji.

”Hahahaha, let me tell you the truth: it wasn’t Zhao Qiuyan who approached me; it was I who approached her deliberately. She was a loose cultivator who needed a powerful backing to survive. After witnessing my formidable martial prowess, she stayed with me. At that moment, I thought of using her for my experiment, so I actively demonstrated the Slaying All Things divine ability of the Demon Blood Sect to her, and she fell into the trap immediately. When teaching her the divine ability, I transferred an evil power I had cultivated within myself into her body, using her flesh to nourish this evil power. Now, years later, I can reclaim it!” Bai Wuji laughed boldly, fearlessly speaking to everyone present.

”To think it wasn’t Zhao Qiuyan who used you, but you who used her. She truly won’t rest in peace!” Princess Zi Xuan said regretfully.

”Hmph, in the martial arts world, it’s survival of the fittest. If she had used me, she would have killed me. Is there anything else to say?” Bai Wuji snorted disdainfully.

”You’ve killed someone and reclaimed the evil power you planted in Zhao Qiuyan, so you should leave now!” Princess Zi Xuan shook her head, not wishing to say another word to such a person.

”Leave? I can’t leave now. Did you forget what I said to Zhao Qiuyan earlier? I came here today for two reasons: first, to kill Zhao Qiuyan and reclaim the evil power I planted in her; second, to destroy the Flying Flower Zen Temple and obtain the Immortal Origin Liquid. I’ve accomplished the first task, and now I will carry out the second!” Bai Wuji’s eyes became filled with murderous intent as he spoke.

”As the Sect Leader of the Flying Flower Zen Temple, even if my form and spirit are obliterated, I won’t let you succeed!” Princess Zi Xuan said resolutely.

”You? Obliterating your form and spirit is easy; my true opponent is the person behind you!” Bai Wuji said coldly, looking at Ye Tianchen.

Ye Tianchen naturally wouldn’t evade or retreat; he had been watching the unfolding events from the start. He couldn’t quite discern the feeling Bai Wuji brought to him. This guy had an aura that even Ye Tianchen couldn’t quite see through!

”Bai Wuji, I don’t believe you’re only appearing now. You must have arrived long ago, possibly along with Yu Jianzi, Zhao Tianqi, and Dao Yu, but chose not to show yourself until now!” Ye Tianchen said to Bai Wuji with a smile.

”Hmph, I know your strength, but defeating Yu Jianzi, defeating Zhao Tianqi, even if you defeated Dao Yu, you still can’t win against me, because years ago, I already defeated them. To me, they are just defeated foes. I didn’t kill them because I didn’t want to expose my power too early; I wanted to grow stronger in secret!”

Bai Wuji snorted, seemingly surprised that he was seen through by Ye Tianchen. Despite arriving long ago, not even Yu Jianzi and the others noticed, yet Ye Tianchen seemed to have either guessed it or really had the strength to sense it?
