[Inner Domain, Fairy Palace Sect]
"You stay here; I’ll go in," Shenlian Yingyue said to everyone.
With that, her figure vanished from sight.
"You better not think about harming her, or I will make you wish you were dead," Dongfang Moqing warned Tao Hua as he too disappeared.
Ji Fulin cast a brief glance at Tao Hua, then jumped to a tree to sleep.
Tao Hua didn’t take Dongfang Moqing’s words seriously. How could she possibly harm her sister?
After leaving the Huang mansion that day, it dawned on her that, although she didn’t fully understand the situation, her sister was not the same as ’Huang Ying Yue,’ the person who had once brought her ruin.
She wasn’t foolish enough to confuse the two; yet, who could explain her sister’s current identity?
Rubbing her temple in frustration, Tao Hua found a place to sit and wait for Shenlian Yingyue’s return.
—•—•—•—•—•—
Somewhere else in the Fairy Palace Sect, there stood an underground temple.
The temple wasn’t as grand as the ancient structure in the secret realm of Congzhu, but it shared one disturbing characteristic.
It felt eerie and oppressive, making it seem less like a sacred space and more like a hell on earth designed to inflict suffering.
Indeed, the atmosphere was thick with a metallic scent of blood.
The sounds of pained cries and desperate pleas echoed through the chamber.
A tall, slender figure dressed in white stood rigidly, her hands stained with blood, her eyes colder than the icy depths of an alpine lake.
"Huang Bai Xing! You will not find peace! I curse you never to know happiness!" Lin Huanli screamed, her disheveled hair masking her face, matted with blood.
"No wonder your men abandoned you to seek out Huang Ying Yue! They have seen through your hypocrisy and cruelty. You may have a beautiful exterior, but your heart is as black as that of a vengeful scorpion," Lin Yeer spat, her face contorted with hatred towards Huang Bai Xing.
"Sect sister, how does it feel to watch your men fall in love with another woman, one who is your enemy?" Liu Wen Yin taunted, her once-genteel demeanor replaced by a sinister smile, like a snake poised to strike. How much she hated Huang Bai Xing and Shenlian Yingyue for killing everyone in her family.
"Damn you! You come from a low background, yet you’ve become so powerful! How can it be that I lose to you time and time again?" Lin Yeer screamed, her sanity fraying.
If Xiang FongFong could speak, she too would have scolded Huang Bai Xing. Unfortunately, her tongue had been cut out by Shenlian Yinzhu after she insulted Shenlian Yingyue at the Ancient Temple in the Congzhu secret realm. (Ch. 248)
One by one, they hurled insults at the slender figure in white with malice and derision. Despite the terror gnawing at their hearts, they were unwilling to let Huang Bai Xing go unscathed.
