22: A certain sword does not kill women

Baitou Sheng's expression had darkened directly after the old woman appeared.

He had once thought that he would meet his mortal enemy again.

But in his imagination, it should have been many years later, with him leading the unparalleled Ye Fan, pointing his sword at the Supreme Sacred Ground.

He never expected it to be the current situation.

At this moment, he was already at the end of his rope; his previous demeanor was entirely feigned.

He had originally intended to take advantage of the moment he had everyone stunned to flee directly with Ye Fan.

Now it seems... escaping will be difficult.

He glanced at the somewhat bewildered Meng Yao, feeling resentful, blaming this woman.

Unable to accomplish anything, yet capable of spoiling everything!

While Baitou Sheng was desperately pondering countermeasures, Sun Elder on the other side would not give him a chance to escape.

Sun Elder lightly drew her staff in the Void Realm, and a dark, seemingly all-shattering Sword Qi appeared out of thin air!

The surrounding space, affected by this Sword Qi, also began to continuously collapse and reassemble!

Using a staff as a sword, her Sword Intent reached the heavens!

Clearly, Sun Elder's Sword Intent had reached the Transcendent state!

As soon as this Sword Qi appeared, it went straight for Baitou Sheng.

It seemed to float leisurely, but in reality, it arrived in the blink of an eye!

Sensing this Sword Qi, Baitou Sheng was instantly terrified!

Six thousand years ago, Sun Elder in front of him could kill him; six thousand years had passed, Sun Elder was still improving, but he was only a remnant soul, so how could he fight?

He had no desire to resist, simply chose a direction at random, and directly fled underground, hoping to bypass the Eight Desolations Demon Locking Array by doing so.

But as one of the Supreme Sacred Ground's ultimate techniques, how could this grand array be so simple?

When Baitou Sheng delved twenty miles underground, he encountered the light barrier of the Eight Desolations Demon Locking Array head-on.

Baitou Sheng was startled and was about to change direction again when he suddenly felt a chill from behind.

He abruptly turned his head, and an extremely sharp Sword Qi had just passed through his neck.

Baitou Sheng's face showed disbelief; he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and nothing came out.

Immediately after, his Primordial Spirit turned into dust and completely dissipated!

Looking at the ground above, even though the Sword Qi penetrated twenty miles deep, the earth was perfectly intact!

Having completed all this, Sun Elder sighed leisurely:

"The grievances from six thousand years ago are finally resolved."

"But what use is it, my disciple will never come back to life after all."

After Sun Elder finished speaking, she looked at Gu Liangyuan: "Gu Liang Junior Martial Uncle, I'm tired, I'll go back first."

With that, Sun Elder was about to leave without waiting for Gu Liangyuan to reply.

But Gu Liangyuan quickly stopped her: "Senior Sister, don't rush."

Seeing Sun Elder puzzled, Gu Liangyuan stretched out a hand, and the jade pendant on Ye Fan's chest was directly drawn to him.

Sun Elder looked at the jade pendant and her expression changed slightly:

"What a cunning rogue, almost tricked this old woman again."

Sun Elder flicked her finger, and the jade pendant suddenly shattered into pieces.

Accompanied by a puff of green smoke, Baitou Sheng's almost transparent Primordial Spirit reappeared before everyone.

At this moment, Baitou Sheng's face was filled with terror.

How could this be?

He even tricked Sun Elder, how did Gu Liangyuan discover him?

Unfortunately, Baitou Sheng was destined never to know this answer.

As Sun Elder waved her sleeve, Baitou Sheng's Primordial Spirit once again dissipated between heaven and earth.

Gu Liangyuan used the detection device again to search until he confirmed that Baitou Sheng's information was gone, only then did he relax.

Sun Elder also learned her lesson and used her Divine Sense to search every corner of the Eight Desolations Demon Locking Array.

After confirming that there was no trace of Baitou Sheng, she shook her head with a smile and looked around:

"I'm really old and useless."

"The future of the Supreme Sacred Ground still depends on you young people."

Sun Elder's words were fine when directed at Gu Liangyuan, but among those present, besides Gu Liangyuan and Qianqiu, the youngest, Song Rentou, was already over a thousand years old.

Being called a young person was truly a bit unaccustomed.

However, in front of Grand Elder Sun Elder, who had a Lifespan of tens of thousands of years, being called a young person seemed not out of place.

After Gu Liangyuan and the others echoed Sun Elder's words a few more times, they turned their attention to Ye Fan and Meng Yao.

At this moment, Ye Fan looked at the jade pendant that had fallen to the ground, appearing somewhat dazed.

Half a month ago, he was humiliated by Gu Liangyuan.

In despair, he discovered that his jade pendant contained a universe, housing the remnant soul of an unparalleled expert.

Guided by Baitou Sheng, his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds.

He had originally thought that from then on, he would rise.

What Gu Liangyuan, what Supreme Sacred Ground, in the future, they would all be trampled under his feet.

He never expected that before he could even be proud for a few days, his Master, whom he regarded as his hope, would die in Gu Liangyuan's hands like this.

How could this be...?

He found it somewhat difficult to accept this outcome.

Meng Yao looked at Gu Liangyuan, who was like an Immortal descended from heaven, and then at the dispirited Ye Fan beside her.

She, perhaps, had truly made a mistake...

But before she could think further, she saw Gu Liangyuan walking towards her step by step.

Looking at the long saber in Gu Liangyuan's hand, she suddenly realized that she no longer had any value in front of Gu Liangyuan at this moment.

She, would truly die!

She was afraid.

Her former pride no longer existed.

She knelt on the ground with a thud, dragging her knees on the ground, and moved forward two steps.

Feeling the Killing Intent gradually increasing on Gu Liangyuan's body, her body began to tremble slightly, and even her voice was a little shaky:

"Gu Liangyuan, don't kill me, I can do anything."

"I know I was wrong, I truly know I was wrong!"

"Please spare my life, okay?"

"If you don't want to see me, I'll leave immediately and never appear before you again."

Gu Liangyuan looked at Meng Yao, whose face was completely devoid of blood from fear, and suddenly grinned:

"Don't be silly, my great saber never kills women."

Meng Yao, who had been trembling like a sieve just now, suddenly her eyes lit up upon hearing Gu Liangyuan's words, and she abruptly looked up:

"Really?"

Gu Liangyuan nodded: "Really, you can go."

Song Rentou and Elder Wang, the two Elders behind Gu Liangyuan, frowned simultaneously upon seeing Gu Liangyuan's actions.

What's going on?

Didn't Junior Martial Uncle say he wouldn't be a simp anymore? It's come to this point, and he's still letting her go?

The other Elders also exchanged glances, looking puzzled.

Meng Yao, however, suddenly felt a sense of relief; she didn't even glance at Ye Fan beside her and scrambled out of the array.

The life-and-death crisis was resolved, and anger surged in her heart again!

Gu Liangyuan, do you think I'll be grateful to you for sparing my life?

Dream on!

You wait, when my cultivation is complete, I will definitely make you pay!

As she was fantasizing like this, she suddenly felt a chill in her abdomen.

Looking down, she saw a knife tip protruding from her Dantian.

She stopped, slowly turned her head, and saw Gu Liangyuan holding a short saber, which had directly pierced her Dantian from her back.

Gu Liangyuan abruptly pulled out the saber, and blood slowly flowed from Meng Yao's abdomen.

Meng Yao desperately tried to cover it with her hand, but she couldn't stop the blood from flowing out.

She gradually felt her vision blurring, her body went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

Before her consciousness completely disappeared, she only heard Gu Liangyuan's faint words:

"My great saber doesn't kill women, but I have a small knife."

"Amen, Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable, merciful!"
