19 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

Chapter 6: Humanity's Song is the Song of Courage - The Senior Sister Has Given Up “Jiang is such a shameless villain!” “Lady Witch Queen, lead us into battle once more!” “Lady Witch Queen, we will follow your lead!” Each call grew louder, but despite all the shouting, no one actually stepped forward. Their eyes were firmly fixed on Bai Lian. I... I will lead you to fight! Before Bai Lian’s eyes, new task options floated into view. [Task One: “An ant with its ambitions above the heavens, yet a life more fragile than paper, dares to challenge the dragon. Now, I shall slay you!” Charge out and battle Jiang Jing for 300 rounds (Completion Reward: Exquisite Spirit Artifact Ghost Immortal Gourd)] [Task Two: Coldly command, “Kill him to atone for your offense against this emperor!” (Completion Reward: Rebirth Incantation)] [Task Three: Calmly state, “This matter no longer concerns you, leave.” (Completion Reward: Hard Skill +14)] Her gaze lingered not even for a moment on Task One. But she hesitated over the remaining two options. Truthfully, she was quite tempted to choose Task Two. Watching a dogfight is always such a spectacle. However, she was startled to find the risk of Task Two was nearly as high as Task One. “?” Seriously, little sister? However, Bai Lian soon understood. Two-faced traitors will always remain two-faced. They would betray Jiang Jing for the title of “Witch Queen.” Once they sensed something amiss, they would surely flock back to Jiang Jing’s side. Then she would find herself besieged by many. Task Three it is. Bai Lian didn’t turn back. As she spoke, the surging waves around her grew mightier, and in the void, a divine deer-like creature slowly emerged. “This matter no longer concerns you. Leave.” Her voice was devoid of emotion. The leading female cultivator was dumbstruck. Eh? She had already steeled herself to be forced by Bai Lian to fight Jiang Jing. Her thoughts were simple. Bai Lian was once an Immortal Emperor; rather than clashing intensely with Bai Lian, it seemed wiser to test who was tougher against Jiang Jing. But the development was completely unexpected. “Let us leave?” Unbelievable. “Must I repeat myself?” Bai Lian asked. The female cultivator quickly shook her head. Bai Lian’s words didn’t sting at all; instead, she felt bathed in the warmth of the sun. “I’ll leave right away.” As she led the way, the others followed immediately. In just three or four breaths of time, the grand hall was left with only Bai Lian, Jiang Jing, the Black Shaman Lord, and the Nether King Palace Lord. Hey! Don’t leave me alone. The hand the Black Shaman Lord had raised finally lowered again. It was over. He was beyond saving. All Jiang Jing’s fault, it’s all Jiang Jing’s fault. The Black Shaman Lord’s gaze grew increasingly fierce, but Jiang Jing, whose focus was entirely on the newly emerged Fu Zhu, didn’t notice. “Hiss—” He inhaled sharply. What could that be, racing at the peak of the waves around Bai Lian’s body, if not the divine beast Fu Zhu? In the immortal realm, there was once a renowned Fu Zhu Immortal Emperor. It discerned the mysteries of the Yellow Springs, and with the Yellow Springs path forged a Sovereign Nation capable of melting all things, its strength no less formidable than the Witch Queen’s. Jiang Jing clearly remembered that Fu Zhu Immortal Emperor was on good terms with the Undying Celestial Lord and was an enemy to figures like the Immortal Origin Emperor and the Witch Queen. In that upheaval centuries ago...
