He would have a hard time dealing with either of them alone, let alone both of them attacking at once.

After only a few moves, the black cloth covering his face was torn off, revealing his face completely.

"Bai Wuchen?"

The voice of the Celestial Venerable suddenly rang out.

"Didn't you die twenty years ago? How are you still alive?"

Who is Bai Wuchen?

Leng Qingyou explained to Yu Miaozhen, who was standing next to her and didn't understand, "Bai Wuchen was the former leader of the Qingshuang Sect. The Qingshuang Sect held a funeral for him twenty years ago, and then Han Jing took over as leader."

Yu Miaozhen was stunned: "Can a dead person come back to life?"

Leng Qingyou said, "He definitely can't be brought back to life. He must have faked his death, but..."

Yu Miaozhen asked, "But what?"

Leng Qingyou said, "I'm afraid it's not that simple a fake death. Didn't An Qingwan just say that he looked like those two puppets, with little life force? I suspect..."

Yu Miaozhen, with her keen intuition, immediately guessed what Leng Qingyou was thinking: "You suspect that he was also turned into a puppet?"

The cold celadon glaze nodded repeatedly.

She actually had a lot more to say, but she couldn't say it right now.

At that moment, an extremely childlike aura emanated from Bai Wuchen, an aura that suddenly surged forth like flames.

"It's the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique!" the Holy Palace Master suddenly exclaimed.

The Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique is an evil art. By "self-harm," one can gather all one's essence, energy, and spirit, thereby increasing one's strength by one to two times in a short period of time.

The aftereffects of this evil technique are naturally extremely serious; once used, even if one doesn't die, one will be crippled.

Therefore, those who master this evil skill will only use it as a last resort, when they must perish together with others.

At this moment, Bai Wuchen suddenly used the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. Who was he aiming to take down with him?

Apart from him, or more precisely, the person who was manipulating him from behind, no one else knew.

Because the moment the Palace Master of the Holy Palace shouted, An Qingwan had already thrust out her sword.

Go all out, huh?

I won't even give you a chance to unleash your ultimate skill; I'll just catch you during the skill animation and stab you to death!

No one expected An Qingwan to make such a precise move.

Faced with the overwhelming onslaught, Bai Wuchen was completely unable to withstand it and was finally pierced through the dantian by An Qingwan's sword.

He was originally a puppet-like being, so even if his dantian was pierced, he would not feel unbearable pain. But once his dantian was broken, there was nowhere to put his internal energy.

With its internal energy dissipated, how could the Heavenly Demon continue its disintegration?

An Qingwan thrust out multiple swords in succession, turning the already weakened Bai Wuchen into a hornet's nest.

Seeing Bai Wuchen fall to the ground, she nodded secretly. That bastard Han Jing really has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

First, there's mind-controlling techniques; then there's the Blood-Transforming Divine Gu; then there's giving away one's own internal energy to others; then there's the insidious martial art similar to the "All Beings for Me" technique; then there's using Gu worms to create puppets; and now there's this strange Bai Wuchen. Where did he get all these bizarre methods?

An Qingwan searched everywhere, but couldn't find where Han Jing was hidden at all.

It seems that Bai Wuchen was a pawn deliberately thrown out by Han Jing to attract attention. He himself was hiding in the shadows, probably waiting for an opportunity to make a move, but he did not expect the situation to turn out like this, so he could not come out and could only continue to hide.

No, Han Jing sacrificed the two puppets to save the Holy Master Cangming. Was it truly to save the Holy Master Cangming?

Perhaps it's for the corpse of the Holy Master Cangming.

If that's the case, then he's most likely off chasing after the Holy Master Cangming!

"Good tactic, but unfortunately I have even more tactic than you!"

An Qingwan immediately flashed to Lan Xiaogu and the others' side, and together with them, they quickly eliminated the seriously injured Wen Qiwu and Mo Zhichou.

Just as they were about to leave, the Palace Master of the Nine Netherworld Holy Palace approached. "You cannot leave yet."

An Qingwan frowned slightly: "What do you want to do?"

The Palace Master of the Holy Palace said calmly, "I came here across the sea for two reasons: first, to find Yun Guixu, who deceived me and secretly left the island; and second, to see the masters of the Central Plains Jianghu."

An Qingwan said, "You want to challenge me?"

The Palace Master of the Holy Palace said, "That's right."

An Qingwan said, "I have urgent business to attend to today and don't have time to compete with you. Please find another time and place, and I will accompany you no matter what the competition is."

The Palace Master of the Holy Palace said, "Alright, I'll wait for you."

Her decisive reaction was unexpected by An Qingwan.

An Qingwan had originally thought that if the Palace Master of the Holy Palace was really unreasonable, she wouldn't mind killing her here. Anyway, she had already killed several Grandmasters today, so one more wouldn't matter.

"Senior Celestial Venerable, I am about to go and track down the Holy Master Cangming. Would you like to come with me?"

An Qingwan explained her intention to leave to the Heavenly Venerable.

The Celestial Venerable shook his head: "Xu Chong is dead, my grudge is settled, so I will not travel with you."

The reason he wanted to kill Xu Zhong was because Xu Zhong wanted to poison his daughter.

An Qingwan cupped her hands in thanks: "This time, thanks to Senior Heavenly Venerable for stopping Bai Wuchen, otherwise the situation would have become extremely complicated. After this matter is settled, I will bring Lord Leng and Miss Lan to thank you."

Before leaving, An Qingwan made sure to destroy all the corpses of Xu Zhong and the others.

After destroying the corpse, she immediately led Leng Qingyou, Yu Miaozhen, and the others towards Cangming.

They pursued the direction in which the Holy Master had fled.

……

The Holy Master Cangming is now severely injured.

He nearly fainted when he emerged from the water.

But he knew he absolutely could not faint, because if he did, he would really die.

He could only muster his strength to escape, trying to reach a village where he could then use his divine power to heal his wounds.

However, the land of Huainan was ravaged by war, especially near Zhongli. Those who could escape had long since fled. Where could he possibly find a village with inhabitants?

The more he ran, the more desperate the Holy Master of the Vast Ocean became.

Finally, as the moon reached its zenith, he realized he probably wouldn't survive.

He discovered the life-giving energy attached to his meridians. "Heaven is going to destroy me!"

The Holy Master Cangming closed his eyes, his face filled with grief and indignation. How could he accept dying like this?

But he really couldn't think of a way to break the deadlock.

Left with no other choice, he could only desperately walk towards Zhongli.

There was a branch of the Yin Yang Sect in Zhongli City. Of course, he didn't expect those people in the branch to save him. He just wanted to send out the message before he died, so that the people of the Yin Yang Sect would lie low and avenge him in the future.

After walking for half an hour, the Holy Master Cangming finally arrived at the branch headquarters, swaying unsteadily.

Here, he met someone he never expected. "What are you doing here?"

The Holy Master Cangming stared in astonishment at Sikong Tingxue before him.

Sikong Tingxue was naturally waiting for news from An Qingwan, but she couldn't tell the Holy Master Cangming that, so she lied and said, "Holy Master, the Yinji Sect was attacked by An Qingwan, and Xue Shangren was killed tragically. I escaped with the disciples of the sect by chance. Since then, I have been looking for you, wanting to tell you this news. Today I have finally met you!"

The Holy Master Cangming was taken aback.

He doesn't care about those things right now.

After a moment of contemplation, his eyes suddenly lit up.

If we were to name the person in the Yin-Yang Sect most likely to avenge him, it would undoubtedly be Sikong Tingxue.

He saw Sikong Tingxue on his deathbed. Could it be that Heaven was still looking out for him, giving him a chance for revenge?

The Holy Master Cangming said, "Sikong Tingxue, come here!"

Sikong Tingxue cautiously stepped forward.

The Holy Master Cangming said, "I am severely injured and my days are numbered. Today, I will pass on my skills to you right here!"

Sikong Tingxue said, "Holy Master, how could you...?"

The Holy Master Cangming said, "Stop with the fuss. I don't have time to explain anymore. Just swear to the heavens that once you receive my power, you will kill An Qingwan and Han Jing for me, or you will suffer the torment of ten thousand arrows piercing your heart. No, simply killing them won't quell my hatred. I want you to make them wish they were dead! Swear it, and I will pass on my power to you. Although I am seriously injured, this power is still considerable. With it, you will surely become a Grandmaster. Will you swear or not?"

His speech had become somewhat deranged. Sikong Tingxue was startled. Had An Qingwan beaten the Holy Master Cangming to this state?

If the Holy Master Cangming made her swear an oath to kill An Qingwan, she certainly wouldn't swear that oath.

But this left An Qingwan in a state of unbearable suffering, unable to live or die...

Making An Qingwan wish she were dead on the bed—could that be considered fulfilling his vow?

Sikong Tingxue immediately raised her hand: "I, Sikong Tingxue, swear to heaven..."

Seeing her make her vow, the Holy Master Cangming breathed a sigh of relief. "Come here."

Sikong Tingxue then walked over.

Transferring power is an extremely energy-consuming process, and since the Holy Master Cangming was already on the verge of death, he immediately collapsed after transferring all his power to Sikong Tingxue.

But when he fell to the ground, there was no pain on his face, only a smile.

On his deathbed, he found someone to entrust the future of the Yin-Yang Sect to; how could he not be happy?

163, through self-cultivation, attained enlightenment and sainthood (6k)

Zhongli.

In the Yin-Yang Sect branch.

After listening to Sikong Tingxue's story, An Qingwan's lips twitched involuntarily.

When she went to the Yinji Sect earlier, she tried her best to persuade Sikong Tingxue to sever ties with the Yinji Sect, but Sikong Tingxue did not take this advice and insisted on staying in the Yinji Sect.

At that time, she was worried that something might happen to Sikong Tingxue, but she never expected that Sikong Tingxue's persistence would actually bring her tremendous benefits.

If there truly is a netherworld, I wonder if the Holy Master Cangming, upon meeting Xu Ruogu in the netherworld and learning of Sikong Tingxue's relationship with her, would be so enraged that he would die of anger again, transforming from a ghost into a voice?

Regardless of what the future holds, at least for now, whether it's her, Sikong Tingxue, or the fallen Cangming Saint Master, they are all smiling.

"As expected of a Holy Master, he effortlessly achieved a happy ending that made everyone involved smile!"

Facing the body of the Holy Master Cangming, An Qingwan offered her heartfelt and highest respect.

After that, with the help of others, she burned the body of the Holy Master Cangming to ashes to prevent it from being stolen by someone with ulterior motives.

After finishing everything, she looked at Sikong Tingxue. "What are you planning to do next?"

Sikong Tingxue's eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was like a clear spring in spring: "What should we do? Since you're here, of course we should take this opportunity to get our revenge... Alright, alright, why are you pinching me? I won't joke anymore, okay? I know you're anxious now, but I'll make you wish you were dead when I have time later! My idea is to stay in the Yinji Sect. If I leave, the Yinji Sect will definitely fall apart and become many small demonic sects, causing chaos in the world. If I stay, I can slowly reform it. Although I may not be able to turn it into a famous righteous sect, I still have a chance to turn it into a reclusive sect like the Rebirth Pavilion, which is both righteous and evil."

An Qingwan nodded: "Since you have this idea, I will naturally support you with all my might. After this matter is over, I will copy down a few orthodox martial arts for you. Although these martial arts are not as good as the Heavenly Water Manual and the Dry Wood Manual, they are not too far off."

Sikong Tingxue gladly accepted.

Given her current relationship with An Qingwan, why would she pass the buck on this matter?

After the two hugged affectionately, they went outside to eat and drink with the others to celebrate.

After standing on the banks of the Huai River for so long, everyone was exhausted, both physically and mentally, even if they weren't hungry.

"Master, after receiving the power transmission from the Holy Master Cangming, are you already a Grandmaster?"

At the dinner table, Gongsun Hongdie asked Sikong Tingxue in a low voice, her eyes and voice filled with admiration.

How could she not admire her?

Lan Xiaogu and Sikong Tingxue both received the power transfer, which saved them decades of hard work.

This energy-consuming transmission of power not only transmits internal strength, but also internal energy cultivation techniques and decades of experience in operating these techniques.

Each of these three is invaluable.

Sikong Tingxue said, "It won't be that fast, but with my current accumulation, it's not difficult to cross that hurdle; it's just a matter of time."

The Yin-Yang Sect has produced many grandmasters over the years.

These grandmasters all left behind their training insights before they passed away.

With these insights and the transmission of skills from the Holy Master Cangming, Sikong Tingxue found it much easier to become a Grandmaster than others.
