43 - The Eldest Martial Sister Gave Up Treatment

### Chapter 10: For An Lan, I Will Kill Even a God! The depth of someone who has mastered eight paths and become a "Sovereign of the Era" is something perhaps only she could truly comprehend. Jiang Jing initially felt a sense of despair. But that despair didn't crush him. He had come to a realization. He had been given a second chance at life! If it hadn't been for Bai Lian's intervention, he would've already perished at the hands of that nameless creature from the Netherworld. Since death was inevitable, wouldn't it be a great honor to drag a deity who once intimidated the heavens down with him? And the benefits didn't stop there. If Emperor Xian Yuan and the Witch Queen could extract the secret of rapidly increasing strength from Bai Lian, those two vengeful beings would soon slay the crazy old Cang Yue Swordmaster. Wouldn't that count as avenging him, in a way? Is there anything more joyful than that? Therefore. Jiang Jing's smile was genuine and not a frantic laugh before death! Charge! He looked expectantly at the red arrow shooting forward. That arrow took his heart with it. Hovering high, unable to touch the ground for a long time. That same arrow pierced through Bai Lian's heart, which had remained steady for so many years. Crack— The red arrow dragged a blinding light as it pierced the opening in the palace. Light cascaded down like rain. In that instant. Everything in the world came to a standstill. Bai Lian couldn't hear a thing, her perception of the world seemed to be slowed down by a thousandfold. She felt as if she just reached out her hand, she could grasp that arrow. But when she actually tried to do so, she was horrified to find that her movement was as slow as a crawling turtle. This was the aftereffect of forcefully engulfing two inferior immortal spirit stones! Bai Lian's face could no longer maintain its composure, as a tide of terror swept and spread across her features. It was over. The peaceful future she had hoped for. And everything she had once held in her hands now needed to come to an end. Even though her adventure had just begun, she hadn't yet seen her junior sisters grow, nor had she ascended to the Immortal Realm to find a way to fight her master's mortal enemy. "My happiness is built on your pain!" Upon seeing the terror etched on Bai Lian's face, Jiang Jing's heart finally settled. "Hahaha!" He burst out laughing. He had won. He had successfully won this gamble! Once Yue Wuya received his transmission, this world would be turned upside down. A deity, an immortal emperor... Jiang Jing couldn't help but want to shout to those around him, "I am the king of the world!" Amidst his brazen laughter, the collapse of the palace accelerated. Countless rocks and metal pieces fell from above, and the ground cracked open with gashes two people wide, from which a grim green glow emanated. Bai Lian lifted her head. She saw a boulder more than a zhang wide falling like a massive hammer, aimed precisely at her position on the suspended stone slab. "Master, I'm sorry, this is my fault." In that moment. Bai Lian's mind went blank. She watched the boulder drawing nearer. There was no way she could dodge it. And yet there was no need to worry. Her body, though battered, was still that of a cultivator in the Integration phase. The boulder bore no spiritual power; while it might crush her, turning her into nothing more than Bai Lian sauce, it could not truly kill her.
