Chapter 161: Grand Ceremony

Bai Yu had thought it through very well. With her Foundation Building cultivation and powerful Xuan Yin Seductive Maiden technique, dealing with Gao Xian would be as easy as playing.

Not to mention Gao Xian, even Xu Mingyuan, who had cultivated for over a hundred years, would not be able to stop her Xuan Yin Seductive Maiden technique.

But when they truly fought, Bai Yu realized something was wrong. This kid was not right, how could he be so skilled? How could he be so strong!

Bai Yu wanted to use her divine consciousness spell, but it was completely suppressed by Gao Xian's divine consciousness transformed into a fierce and powerful red dragon.

At this point, Bai Yu truly panicked.

The fierce and powerful red dragon entangled her Law Manifestation of the Seductive Maiden and continuously devoured it.

She could feel her own essence and mana continuously draining, and her divine consciousness completely suppressed.

The Lingxi Sword was in her hand, but she couldn't control it with her divine consciousness. She couldn't activate any talismans or secret techniques either.

Gao Xian's body was as hard as a diamond, with boundless strength. Although she was a Foundation Building cultivator, she was completely suppressed in terms of physical strength and had no power to resist.

This made her even more panicked, and her eyes towards Gao Xian were filled with pleading, appearing exceptionally weak and pitiful.

Gao Xian remained unmoved. This woman wanted to use secret techniques to steal his essence, her intentions were malicious. If he didn't have the Red Dragon Swallowing Moon technique and the Diamond Pestle, he would have been finished this time.

Of course, if he didn't have these powerful secret techniques, he wouldn't have reached this point with the demoness either.

Bai Yu was, after all, a Foundation Building cultivator. Although she was in a desperate situation, she refused to accept her fate.

She desperately activated the spiritual light in her spiritual aperture, transforming her powerful divine consciousness into the Law Manifestation of the Seductive Maiden. Even if she couldn't kill the red dragon, she would die together with it.

This kind of clash of divine consciousness was extremely dangerous.

Bai Yu, as a Foundation Building cultivator, had a glimmer of light illuminating her spiritual soul, integrating her inner and outer selves to form the foundation of her cultivation.

The burst of divine consciousness power at this critical moment was exceptionally powerful.

Just as the Law Manifestation of the Seductive Maiden's divine light was at its peak, the towering Diamond Pestle descended from the sky and struck directly at the Law Manifestation.

This strike completely shattered Bai Yu's divine consciousness and sent her consciousness into an endless and dark abyss.

Without consciousness, Bai Yu could only be at the mercy of others...

In the side room, Bai Yu Rong, who had been waiting for a full hour, noticed that Bai Yu still hadn't arrived and felt that something was not right.

Bai Yu Rong returned to the main room and saw Gao Xian sitting calmly in the main seat, his clothes neat and tidy, as if nothing had happened.

Even his whole person seemed to be walking like a jade mountain, with a warm and clear radiance shining all over his body.

What surprised Bai Yurong even more was that Bai Yuzhen was nowhere to be seen.

Bai Yurong didn't know what had happened, but she knew something was wrong. After hesitating for a moment, she still stepped into the room.

Gao Xian glanced at Bai Yurong and sighed lightly as he stood up and saluted, "Disciple pays respects to Master Mother."

In his politeness, there was a strange tone that made people feel uncomfortable.

Bai Yurong asked with a complicated expression, "Where is my sister?"

"The woman who looks similar to Master Mother? She's dead."

Gao Xian didn't hide it and directly told Bai Yurong the news.

Although Bai Yurong felt something was wrong, when she heard Gao Xian say that Bai Yuzhen had died, her heart trembled and a look of fear appeared in her bright eyes.

Gao Xian said calmly, "Master Mother, please accept my condolences."

These comforting words sounded so harsh to Bai Yurong. She couldn't help but glance at Gao Xian, who had deep eyes and an indifferent expression on his face.

Bai Yurong became even more uneasy, thinking about how her sister had died like this, and couldn't help but feel sorrowful.

Her sister had always been competitive since childhood, always wanting to surpass her in everything. It was precisely because of this personality that her sister had always bullied her.

But Bai Yuzhen also took care of her.

The two of them relied on each other in the Seven Killing Sect. Because of her beauty, she was sent to Lianyun City and, with the support of the sect, became Xu Mingyuan's wife.

Bai Yurong didn't like Xu Mingyuan. He was over a hundred years old but still so stingy and greedy, treating people harshly.

He was also cautious towards her as his wife.

Her sister, on the other hand, finally succeeded in Foundation Building through her determination.

Then, Bai Yuzhen couldn't wait to come to Lianyun City. She not only wanted to absorb Xu Mingyuan's cultivation, but also wanted to stand up for her.

Her sister, who relied on each other for survival, was gone just like that. She had a surreal feeling as if she was dreaming.

The more Bai Yurong thought about it, the sadder she became, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

Gao Xian silently watched, not saying a word. That demon woman wanted to plot against him, and he simply defended himself. He had no guilt in his heart.

He could understand Bai Yurong's sadness, but he wouldn't sympathize or empathize with her.

Regardless of good or evil, adults must take responsibility for their actions.

Bai Yurong, who was silently crying, suddenly had a sharp gaze. A cold light flashed from her sleeve and stabbed directly at Gao Xian.

She had put a lot of effort into this flying sword. Although her divine sense was restricted and couldn't exert its strongest power, she could control it as she pleased within twenty steps.

No matter what evil technique Gao Xian used to kill her sister, it proved how terrifying Gao Xian was.

At the moment when she was sad and tearful, she was also accumulating her spiritual power to communicate with the Feishuang Sword, preparing to fight to the death.

The distance between the two sides was only ten steps, and the Feishuang Sword urged by Bai Yurong arrived in front of Gao Xian in an instant.

Just as the Feishuang Sword was about to pierce Gao Xian's forehead, the icy light transformed by the Feishuang Sword suddenly froze and stopped, revealing its true appearance: a silver blade about a foot long.

This is the problem with ordinary cultivators controlling flying swords. They can easily be suppressed or even controlled by others using their spiritual consciousness.

Gao Xian's spiritual power was much stronger than Bai Yurong's. He easily suppressed her control over the flying sword with his spiritual consciousness, causing the flying sword to stop in mid-air.

It's like someone using a drone for bombing, but it loses control as soon as it enters due to electromagnetic interference.

That's how the clash of spiritual consciousness works. The two sides confront each other, and unless there is a huge disparity in strength, it is difficult to gain an advantage.

The farther the distance, the weaker the control of spiritual consciousness. So when Foundation Building cultivators take action, they also try to shorten the distance as much as possible.

Bai Yurong's face was full of shock. Gao Xian completely suppressed the Feishuang Sword with just his spiritual consciousness! Even her sister, who is a Foundation Building cultivator, couldn't do this!

Gao Xian is so young and doesn't even have Foundation Building cultivation. How can his spiritual consciousness be so powerful?

Bai Yurong became more and more afraid as she thought about it. She hurriedly took out the Qingmu Thunder Talisman from her sleeve.

This second-level talisman was refined through special means and can be quickly activated, posing a significant threat to Foundation Building cultivators. It was her most powerful self-defense method.

Gao Xian reached out and gently held the Feishuang Sword. Just as he was about to say something, he sensed the fluctuation of the second-level talisman's spiritual power.

Although he wasn't particularly afraid, he didn't want Bai Yurong to use it. With a thought, he activated the Ice Arrow Technique.

A cold light shot through the air and instantly pierced Bai Yurong's forehead, obliterating her spiritual consciousness and ending her life.

Bai Yurong unwillingly glanced at Gao Xian one last time before staggering and falling backward.

Gao Xian sighed lightly and collected the storage pouch on Bai Yurong's body. With a wave of his sleeve, he used a storage talisman to store Bai Yurong.

He didn't want things to escalate to this point.

But since Bai Yurong and her sister insisted on targeting him, he wouldn't be polite. This wasn't a dinner invitation; they wanted his life, and he had no reason to back down.

As Zhuang Dage said: "Having the appearance of a person but lacking human emotions. Having the appearance of a person, thus gathering with others. Lacking human emotions, thus avoiding personal troubles."

In simple terms, one should act friendly and get along with others on the surface, but not let useless emotions bind their heart, so as to avoid trouble.

Gao Xian deeply agreed with this. He usually showed respect and politeness to Bai Yurong, behaving like a disciple should. But when Bai Yurong wanted to harm him, he put aside useless emotions and killed her, thus solving the trouble and returning his heart to tranquility. (Note: This is Gao Xian's own interpretation without much knowledge)

Just now, he checked the storage pouch of the demon woman and found a Yin Sha Flag. It can be determined that this woman is a Foundation Building cultivator from the Seven Killing Sect. It is likely that Bai Yurong is also a spy from the Seven Killing Sect.

The two sisters were able to establish themselves in Lianyun City, so there must be others supporting them. I wonder what their relationship is with Xu Lingyun?

Gao Xian didn't have much sentiment towards Lianyun Sect, and Bai Yurong's situation was a bit complicated. He didn't want to attract attention.

What troubled him a bit was that the old gatekeeper and Chunxiang both saw him enter the backyard. How should he deal with these two?

Based on common sense, Bai Yurong is a spy, and the maids and servants around her must be her own people.

From the situation of Chunxiang and the old servant, it is obvious that they are both from the Seven Devils Sect.

There is no psychological burden in killing them to silence them, but there are still many servants and guards in this large mansion. They can't all be killed!

Moreover, he dare not say that no one saw him enter the Xu family on his way here.

While Gao Xian's mind was turning, he had already come up with an idea. He used the cleaning technique to clean up some fine blood stains on the ground left by Bai Yurong.

After cleaning up, he gently tapped the small jade chime on the soft couch.

The clear sound of the jade chime penetrated the formation and reached outside, resonating with the small piece of jade pendant around Chunxiang's waist.

Gao Xian had seen Bai Yurong summon Chunxiang before and knew how to use this thing.

His Flower Discerning Spirit Mirror could penetrate the formation in the room and see outside. He saw Chunxiang coming over and used his voice, transformed into Bai Yurong, to say, "Chunxiang, see the guest off."

The Transformation Technique has such a magical ability, allowing one to imitate various characteristics of others, including voice and scent.

Without waiting for Chunxiang to come in, he pretended to be polite with Bai Yurong and said, "Master, I'll leave first."

"Xiaoxian, you should come often in the future..." he said again in Bai Yurong's voice.

Gao Xian pushed the door open and Chunxiang didn't think much of it. After bowing, she led the way in front and escorted Gao Xian out of the main gate.

When the old servant closed the side door, Gao Xian urged his Shadowless Technique and passed through the wall, quickly returning to the main house in the backyard.

Chunxiang entered the room and whispered, "Madam, the guest has left."

"I'm a little tired, you can go down first."

Gao Xian lay on the soft couch and lazily dismissed Chunxiang. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.

It's easy to fool her. The room is protected by the formation, so even if Chunxiang wants to come in, she can't.

While there was still time, he wanted to go back and let Qiurong know. If he didn't go back all the time, Qiurong would definitely be worried, and who knows what trouble she might cause.

Zhu Qiurong had been waiting anxiously and was already fully armed, ready to go out and find Gao Xian.

Seeing Gao Xian return, Zhu Qiurong's face immediately showed a relaxed smile. "I thought you were in trouble."

"I did encounter some trouble."

Gao Xian briefly explained the situation, and Zhu Qiurong was also stunned.

"So, you killed a Foundation Building female cultivator from the Seven Devils Sect and also killed Bai Yurong..."

"Accurately speaking, I absorbed the essence of the Foundation Building female cultivator, and she naturally died when her vitality was depleted."

Zhu Qiurong looked at Gao Xian with a complex expression and was momentarily speechless.
