13 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

**Chapter 5: I Will Always Support Master Bai Lian!** As chaos loomed ever closer, Bai Lian grew more anxious, worrying that she might have missed something crucial. Time was slipping away. Watching the others at the altar place the crystal coffin upon the Heavenly Glare, she made her decision. She placed her trust in the system, gambling everything on faith that it wouldn’t bring her harm. "Choose four!" In that decisive moment, a light sparked in Bai Lian’s dim eyes. It was as if she embodied the very first light of creation, penetrating through the gloom of the palace. This radiance caught Jiang Jing’s attention, as well as others present. The darkness was expelled. In the glaring white light, Jiang Jing noticed Bai Lian’s nose twitch, and a subtle curve formed at the corner of her lips. It was a smile, or was it a smirk? The expression seemed nothing short of mocking. A deafening boom resonated unexpectedly within Jiang Jing's mind, raising alarms. Something was amiss. It wasn’t usual for someone like Bai Lian to exhibit such an expression without reason. But where was the problem? He recalled the incident when Yue Wu Yang first arrived in Dongshen Prefecture at Bai Lian's summons. The words that stood out most were Yuan's—"So, it was all part of your plan." "Plan." Trouble. Jiang Jing's expression shifted dramatically. "Stop, stop now!" he shouted. Amidst the astonished stares of the crowd, he darted towards the crystal coffin. "Jiang Immortal..." Master Heisha, who looked sincere and earnest, attempted to speak, but Jiang Jing cut him off sharply. "Shut up." "......" What madness was this? Even Bai Lian found herself bewildered. This was not the outcome she had anticipated. She expected a direct confrontation the moment they met. Whose script was this? It was bewildering. She watched Jiang Jing, almost possessed, strike the coffin lid with great force. Buzz— Divine light rippled. The crystal coffin, though sturdy, couldn’t withstand such a jolt. With a resounding crack, the seal shattered, and the coffin lid flew off. "What…?" Upon seeing the empty interior of the crystal coffin, Jiang Jing seemed to turn to stone, utterly stunned. Nothing. He was sure there had been someone within the coffin, but as it opened, that presence dispersed like dust in the wind, leaving only an unsettling emptiness in its wake. Without the immortal corpse, how could he release the sealed Nightblade Demon? "Haha…" Jiang Jing laughed. He finally understood. It was clear why Bai Lian had that mocking expression, and why she was so calm and composed amidst all his provocations. She had already anticipated this outcome. "You, it was you!" Jiang Jing exclaimed, repeatedly pointing at Bai Lian. His face twisted slightly, and the aura he emitted made those nearby tremble with fear. "What, what’s happened?" Master Heisha took a nervous step forward, then gasped in shock. "Gone... How can it be gone!?" Whoosh— At that moment, the gazes of over a dozen people zeroed in on Bai Lian. No, I assure you, whatever just happened, it wasn't my doing. Please bookmark: https://m.bi49.cc ‘Report Error Here’ ‘Add Bookmark’
