Demon Sword Sect’s Undercover
Chapter 299 - 299 298 A Pile of Mud

299: Chapter 298: A Pile of Mud 299: Chapter 298: A Pile of Mud Bai Qingqian, however, didn’t listen to him, “Elder uncle, there is a senior helping us in the forest!

They have already killed two of them.

Now, there’s only the last one forming the array, and he’s still fighting.”

“You have to tell me, there must be a way!”

Bai Sanye also felt the waves of spiritual fluctuations coming from the direction of the Poplar Forest, his face showing a glimmer of hope,

“Who is it?

Is it someone from the Liuyang Daoist Palace stationed here?”

Bai Qingqian didn’t know who the fiend was, but she couldn’t tell the truth, otherwise, her third elder uncle wouldn’t be able to rally,

“Why worry about that?

Who it is doesn’t matter.

What’s important is the senior told me to rescue you all, he doesn’t know how much longer he can hold them off!

What kind of array is this?

How can it be broken?

What kind of artifact should be used?”

The means of a Tongxuan Upper Cultivator were not something a Bridge Connection junior like her could understand; she was completely at a loss with no idea where to start.

Unfortunately, Bai Sanye was also not proficient in arrays.

As a business-oriented cultivator, he naturally focused most of his energy on the most profitable elixirs and talismans.

Time passed in the confusion of the few people’s haste.

Those trapped in the array had their cultivation sealed, so they could only offer advice from inside; Bai Qingqian, outside the array, had an inadequate realm, and among the treasures she carried, there was nothing specifically for breaking arrays.

After making every effort, the array remained impenetrable.

She was so anxious that she was sweating, but in the practice of cultivation, being anxious couldn’t solve anything.

Just when she had no idea what to do, Bai Sanye once again sternly ordered her to leave quickly, a rainbow shadow shot over from the direction of Liuyang.

Bai Sanye couldn’t help but stamp his foot and exclaimed, “You child, are too stubborn.

Now look, the support from the Wu Sect of Liuyang has arrived!”

Bai Qingqian stood silently, not particularly panicked in her heart.

Leaving her alone wouldn’t help the situation.

Could the revival of a family really depend on one woman?

Impossible.

And she might not even be able to escape, so it was better to stay and take a gamble.

Bai Susu’s eyesight was the sharpest; looking into the distance, she joyfully said, “Uncle, doesn’t that flying rainbow look like Aunt Yan’s yaoqin trailing light?”

The few strained their eyes to look.

The flying rainbow got closer, and indeed, it was that very familiar rainbow light; Bai Sanye knew the details of this Anhe Daoist person stationed in Liuyang.

He knew she had no possible connection with the Wu Sect, and the previous alarms were set by her.

With this, was there hope for rescue?

But if Aunt Yan came from the Liuyang direction, then who was in the Poplar Forest?

The rainbow shadow clearly saw the situation on the ground and descended straight down; Aunt Yan, the Daoist, without much talk, her hand seals flying, didn’t need any artifacts.

With the swallowing of mana, she broke the array directly and then spoke,

“What’s going on?

Where are those people?”

Bai Qingqian knew that there were priorities, “Aunt Yan, Wu Sect cultivators captured us, and fortunately, there was a senior in the Poplar Forest helping us, currently fighting in the forest, their life and death uncertain.”

Aunt Yan was startled, “You all stay here, no need to rush.”

The rainbow shadow reappeared, and she had already rushed towards the Poplar Forest.

The few who were rescued all breathed a sigh of relief, but Bai Zongsheng was somewhat puzzled, “Aunt Yan told us there’s no need to hurry, what does she mean by that?”

Bai Sanye sighed, “Aunt Yan has her difficulties.

To stop the actions of the Wu Sect, she needs the support of other peers in Liuyang.

That’s why she told us to escape first while she stayed in Liuyang to deal with those who are inclined towards the Wu Sect.

She must have had some results now, which is why she came in such a hurry.”

Bai Zongfang nodded, “So, we still have to leave, but we don’t have to be so flustered anymore?

But there’s something odd about all this, if it weren’t for the senior in the forest, we would probably have been taken away by now…”

Bai Sanye glared at him, “Don’t speak rashly about Aunt Yan!

Everyone has their own difficulties, and we shouldn’t expect others to fight to the death for the Bai Family.

After all, they owe us nothing.”

“It’s our own internal problems that have led to this.

The fact that the Liuyang Daoist Palace could take us in, send us messages, and now has even come to deal with the aftermath—all of these are acts of kindness!”

“But it’s the senior in the Poplar Forest whom I’ve never met that puzzles me, I don’t know why they would…

Regardless, we must properly thank them.

Our Bai Family has fallen into hardship here; we cannot afford to chill the hearts of those who have helped us.”

Seeing that several people were still weakened from the seal being recently released, Bai Qingqian couldn’t help but say:

“Great-uncle, I want to go back and check.

Just waiting here isn’t a solution, we have to do something.”

Third Master Bai forcefully said, “What are you going to do?

Add to the chaos?

With us present, fellow Daoists would also find it improper to act.

“Wait.

At the very least, we should only go back once the fight in the forest has come to a pause.

Now, everyone focus on cultivating and breathing control!”

“Ah, to forge iron, one must be strong themselves.

Depending on others for everything is ultimately not the solution.”

Bai Qingqian was feeling anxious as she waited.

She always felt that since she had cooperated with that person along the way, leaving her adversary behind and escaping herself, she couldn’t get over this hurdle in her heart.

To go back might cause more trouble, but staying put was unsettling.

She was extremely tormented; Third Master Bai saw what was on her mind and pulled her aside,

“Qingqian, what really happened?

Tell me everything in detail.”

After Bai Qingqian recounted her experiences, “…Great-uncle, I’ve always felt there was something odd about that person.

At first, I thought it was someone from the Liuyang Daoist Palace sent to help us, then I thought he was just a bandit lying in wait, but later I realized that might not be the case either.

He told me to run and stayed behind to deal with the situation.

Have you ever heard of a bandit so righteous in this world?”

Third Master Bai couldn’t make heads or tails of it either; without having seen the person or having had any contact, it was hard to say anything.

After the fellow Daoists hurried to the Poplar Forest, there was no more commotion, nor any message, which made people anxious; but it seemed it was not a major problem, because the Daoists were powerful, belonging to the God Sensing Realm among the three realms of Tongtian.

They were born into an extremely powerful branch of the Anhe Daoist Sect, and the family had the support of a Nascent Transformation goblin, so there was no issue with strength.

The problem was that the Anhe Daoist Sect and Wu Sect had not completely fallen out, and that was the reason the Daoists could not openly take action.

Another half an hour passed and the sky grew fully light.

Even the usually composed Third Master Bai was somewhat flustered, unsure of what to do next.

He felt it was not very safe to remain within the Anhe realm.

Just then, a paper crane message arrived.

Third Master Bai read it and then said aloud,

“The Daoist invites us to go over.”

The six people headed towards the forest.

No matter the situation, they could no longer stay in the Anhe realm, because here at least two cultivators from the Wu Sect with Tongxuan cultivation had been killed, a debt their Bai Family could not afford to bear.

Upon entering the Poplar Forest for over ten miles, they saw the Daoist; seated cross-legged under a poplar tree with a person lying horizontally in front of them—it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.

Bai Qingqian felt her heart tighten—of course, she recognized that person as the bandit who had helped her escape during the night.

The Daoist did not lift his head, “Leave the forest and head towards Shan Country.

Take care of yourselves.”

Third Master Bai felt somewhat bitter, clearly the Daoist was not too eager to become closely involved with them.

He understood; after all, the Daoist also had a Cultivation Family behind him.

But Bai Qingqian was not willing to leave just like that.

She knew that once she left today, some things would remain in her heart, forever unremovable.

She approached quietly, “Great-uncle, this senior has saved my life multiple times.

It’s also because of him that we, the descendants of the Bai Family, were able to evade disaster.

Qingqian just wants to know, this senior, he…”
