A long time later.
The Round Turtle suddenly lifted his head and looked at the night sky.
The Dead Dog took a look as well.
Jing Jiu arched his eyebrows.
They heard a faint "hmm"; it seemed that the Snow Girl had encountered something.
The black line in the sky had been cut off, and the dreadful storm in the Thunder Region had gradually dispersed without a target.
The world seemed to have returned to its normal state.
The faint "hmm" lingered in their minds for a long time, like the distant thunder.
The rest of them didn't hear the faint "hmm", but they heard the last laugh of the Snow Girl and what she said.
"I can't believe she can speak human language …" Zhuo Rusui murmured.
Even he, who had a big heart, was shocked to the point that he was in a trance, to say nothing of the other Cultivation practitioners.
Countless gazes fell on the stars in the sky.
The people felt a strong sense of emptiness.
Taiping Zhenren was dead.
The Fairy Lady Bai Ren was dead.
The Queen of the Snowy Kingdom had ascended.
What had happened that day was like a great many huge waves, assaulting their Dao Hearts incessantly.
They had seen the ocean, and the streams were chaotic; they had seen heaven and earth, and the universe was insignificant.
At least, nobody knew what would happen to the Cultivation practitioners of Chaotian because of what had happened that night.
"What the hell is going on?"
The King of Ōzawa came out from the Wind-Rain Banner and asked Jing Jiu in surprise.
Jing Yao, Duke Lu and the others walked out from the River-Mountain Map, looking at Jing Jiu.
Why was the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom, the most powerful and formidable in Chaotian, in the Aoyama Sect? And why did she join hands with him to deal with the Fairy Lady Bai Ren?
And she had ascended from the ground in the end!
Jing Jiu said, "The Snow Girl was born at the beginning of this heaven and earth. According to my calculation, the purpose of her existence is to ensure the stability of this heaven and earth. In a sense, she is the guardian of this world. It's ridiculous for Bai Ren to say that in front of her. "
The deep and angry voice of a Kunlun Sect elder came from between the cliffs, "The Snowy Kingdom is a great enemy of the human race. In the past tens of thousands of years, who knows how many strong cultivators of the human race have died in the hands of the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom. Who knows how many innocent people have died in the beast tide over the years. Zhenren actually said that she is the guardian of this world. How ridiculous!"
"She's the protector of this world, not the protector of the human race," Jing Jiu said.
The meaning of this sentence was very clear. The expression of the Kunlun Sect elder was extremely unsightly. Everyone on the peak was silent.
"The spirit of this world is naturally unable to leave this world, even if she has long reached the realm of the Hidden Heaven Realm, and she really wants to go out, just like all living beings …"
Jing Jiu continued, "I don't know when she thought of a way. That is to create another world to protect this world, so that she can find a chance to leave."
"Was it when you and Bai Zao were trapped in the snowland at the Plum Meeting?"
The bewildered voice of Shui Yue Nunnery broke out in the small green curtain sedan.
Jing Jiu said, "That's right. Nobody knows if the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom has used this method before, but I'm sure about this one."
The Immortal Tan said with an expressionless and solemn expression, "She was expelled from the snowland. Does it mean that the one in the snowland is more powerful?"
Jing Jiu said, "She was in her weakest state at the time because she gave birth. Of course, she might have pretended to be weak on purpose in order to leave the snowland in order to conceal the heavenly secret."
Zhao Layue shot him a glance.
Jing Jiu understood what she meant, saying, "I won't go to the snowland."
Even though the current Queen of the Snowy Kingdom was not as powerful as the Snow Girl, he still wouldn't take the risk.
And it was meaningless.
It was the same as when Lian Sanyue invited him to the snowland.
"No matter whether she pretended to be weak on purpose or she was truly weak, the Snow Girl left the snowland and was brought to Aoyama by me until today."
Jing Jiu had finished telling the story he was willing to tell.
"But, how did you persuade her to work for you?" asked the Immortal Tan Shui Yue Nunnery.
This was what everybody present couldn't figure out.
Why did the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom want to help Aoyama deal with the Fairy Lady?
Even though she was a being of the highest state in Chaotian, it was still a risky move.
"I promised her to create an opportunity for her to ascend."
After a moment of silence, Jing Jiu continued, "Her state is too high, and the heavenly punishment is too powerful. It's hard for her to leave without any other way."
Many people recalled the scene from before and shuddered again.
It was the whirlpool of thunder and lightning that occupied more than half of the sky.
It was the heavenly punishment pressing down on the ground.
It was the most powerful heavenly punishment that had ever occurred in Chaotian.
If the Snow Girl were to resist the heavenly punishment, who could predict the final outcome?
It was obviously easier for her to travel to the outside world through that passage.
It was the passage through which the Fairy Lady Bai Sheng had arrived.
The people had figured out everything. Looking at Jing Jiu above the ocean of clouds, their eyes were full of awe and respect.
It turned out that he had already predicted everything that would happen that day in advance.
…
…
The starlight shone on the ocean of clouds, which looked like the snowland.
It shone on the peaks, which looked like the burial mounds in the snow.
It shone on the patch of fog, which looked like a cocoon made of natural silk.
It was the most important day in Chaotian in the last one thousand years.
It was more important than the destruction of the Bloody Demon Church.
It was more important than the Mei Hui.
It was more important than the King Of The Underworld being locked in the Fiend Prison.
It was more important than Taiping Zhenren staying behind closed doors.
It was more important than the ascension of the Immortal Jingyang.
However, Bai Zhenren had been standing quietly in the patch of cloud and fog from beginning to end, saying little. She didn't have any reaction to the death of Taiping Zhenren, the disintegration of the Sword Formation of Aoyama, the Cloud Boats of the Center Sect breaking through the clouds and encircling the peaks, and even when the Fairy Lady Bai Ren was killed by the Snow Girl.
It seemed that the scheme of the Zhongzhou School had nothing to do with her.
"You did a good job this time. You didn't let Bai Ren come back until my Big Brother was dead and the Sword Formation was destroyed."
Looking at the figure in the cloud and fog, Jing Jiu went on, "But it's meaningless."
"You killed Taiping and destroyed the Inherited Heaven Sword to eliminate all future threats. You used the Queen of the Snowy Kingdom to kill the Fairy Lady of my family, and you even calculated the time precisely, forcing her to ascend and leave. I even think that the disintegration of the Sword Formation of Aoyama and the hermit peaks is what you want to see. What are you going to do next? Wipe out my Zhongzhou School? "
Bai Zhenren's voice drifted out from the cloud and fog. It was devoid of any emotion, like sadness or anger; it was extremely desolate.
Strangely enough, many people sensed a hint of mockery in her voice, as if she despised Jing Jiu.
Today, Aoyama had experienced the turmoil of Taiping Zhenren first, and then suffered the attack of the Fairy Lady. Most of the swordsmen, including Guangyuan Zhenren and Nan Wang, were severely wounded and unable to fight anymore.
Yet, Aoyama still had the Dead Dog, Jing Jiu, and the three hermit elders from the hermit peaks.
Even though the Immortals Tan and Bai had a very high Cultivation state and there were many swordsmen on the cloud boat of the Zhongzhou School, they were not qualified to despise each other.
"I'm not a greedy person, and I've never thought of wiping out the Cloud-Dream Mountain from this world."
Jing Jiu continued, "Places like our two sects will always have some backup plans, like the Sword-Washing Stream, the Fairy Book, the hermit peaks and the back valley. It's very troublesome."
Those hermit elders hiding in the hermit peaks of Aoyama and the back valley of the Cloud-Dream Mountain wanted to ascend and break through the Cultivation state to get rid of the sufferings of life and death; so they didn't want to pay any attention to the important matters.
But if the Aoyama Sect and the Zhongzhou School were to be wiped out, they had no choice but to get involved.
Jing Jiu disliked troublesome people the most, so he didn't want to attack the Cloud-Dream Mountain and wipe out the Zhongzhou School.
"What are you going to do next?"
Asked Bai Zhenren in the cloud and fog.
"I'm going to keep you here," said Jing Jiu.
No sooner had he finished speaking than the whip in his hand lashed down toward the starry sky.
The clear stream reflected the starlight, reflecting countless shocked faces.
Nobody had expected Jing Jiu to launch an attack on the Zhongzhou School without any warning.
The Fairy Lady Bai Ren couldn't evade the silvery whip even though she had flown a thousand miles away, to say nothing of the cloud and fog.
Pah!!!
The silvery whip landed on the cloud and fog and circled around it a few times at a high speed, like tying up a rice dumpling.
The figure of Bai Zhenren could be vaguely seen in the cloud and fog, looking a bit deformed.
A few wisps of fog drifted out from where the silvery whip landed.
The Immortal Tan opened his right hand, shooting out countless golden lights.
There was a tiny stone pagoda amid the golden lights.
A surprised scream burst out in the peaks.
"The Pagoda of Suppressing Devils!"
It was rumored that this Pagoda of Suppressing Devils was used by the Master of the Bloody Demon Church to temper the blood of the demons, and it was also used by him as the main pagoda of the Heavenly Slaying Formation. This magic treasure had been lost a long time ago following the destruction of the Bloody Demon Church, and nobody knew where it was. Unexpectedly, it had been in the hands of the Zhongzhou School the entire time!
Everybody was extremely nervous.
Was this Pagoda of Suppressing Devils more powerful than the Sword-Washing Stream left by the Grandmasters of Aoyama?
However, at the very next moment, something that no one could have imagined happened.
Countless surprised screams broke out around Tianguang Peak.
The Immortal Tan turned over his right hand, and the Pagoda of Suppressing Devils shot up into the sky, heading toward the cloud and fog.
His target was Bai Zhenren!
