Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 354 I Have a Friend (6k)

You Su understood and his expression was no longer so solemn.

He no longer tried to escape, but instead took advantage of the narrow space to deal with Bai Ze.

Every leap and every turn was just the right time to avoid Bai Ze's attack, while gradually leading the battlefield to the neatly arranged divine stones.

Bai Ze seemed to have sensed You Su's intention. He roared continuously and his attack became more and more fierce, but every time he swung his claws, he had to stop halfway because of the concerns about those divine stones.

Seeing this, You Su became more confident. His figure was as light and agile as a fox moving through the ice and snow. Every time he approached Bai Ze, he tried to leave marks on his body with the Mosong Sword. Although the effect was minimal, it was constantly consuming the patience and strength of the giant beast.

The stalemate in the battle made everyone outside the cave nervous. Most of them were only at the Water Condensation stage before, so they did not have too much expectations for You Su, who was also at the Water Condensation stage.

But if they didn't choose You Su, they might die in the snow without even a chance to atone for their sins. So it can be said that You Su, who fell from the sky, was their last resort.

But the scene before their eyes stunned them. They had never seen a cultivator in the Water Condensation Realm with such strength. Seeing You Su accidentally knocked against the mountain wall by Bai Ze, everyone imagined themselves bearing the same blow. Even if they didn't vomit blood on the spot, they would lose most of their mobility.

It is not that the bodies of the monks in Beiao Continent are too weak. In fact, the people and monks in Beiao Continent have all grown up in the hardships of wind and snow. In terms of pressure resistance alone, they are the best among the five continents. Therefore, their admiration for You Su's strong body is completely sincere.

However, You Su shocked them not only with his physical body, but also with his elegant fighting style. The monks of Beiaozhou advocated a rough and primitive fighting style, so sword cultivation was popular in Zhongyuanzhou and Nanyangzhou, but it was a real niche path in Beiaozhou. Even if there were some, they were like the Venerable Huangxue of Beiaozhou, who emphasized the sword path of opening and closing and sweeping away everything in the wind.

"Master Youxian, what kind of swordsmanship is this? It's so flexible and has so many variations. This is the first time I've seen a swordsman who can use the agility of a sword to such an extent!"

"Oh no! Master Youxian is about to be caught!"

Someone with better eyesight exclaimed in surprise and kicked the person who had just praised You Su for his agility on the leg.

In the cave, You Su's figure suddenly stopped, as if frozen in the air.

Seeing this, Bai Ze thought he had an opportunity and lunged forward with his huge body. However, at this critical moment, You Su had already planned to move sideways and easily avoided it.

At this moment, the mysterious energy in You Su's body surged, and the sword intent was overflowing in his chest. A bright black light condensed on the tip of the sword, and the Mo Song sword intent that he had condensed for a long time was swung out with a bang!
The sword light was like a dragon, cutting through the darkness in the cave and pointing directly at Bai Ze's flank.

You Su had planned this attack for a long time. Wherever the tip of the sword passed, even the water vapor in the air condensed into ice.

"Master Youxian, this is not clever at all, this is clearly brutal!"

The person who had previously praised You Su's swordsmanship for being extremely agile felt very regretful, thinking that he had judged too quickly.

You Su had discovered during the constant fight that although Bai Ze looked unarmored, its defense was surprisingly strong. Its only weakness was its abdomen, which it had been quietly avoiding.

Bai Ze was suddenly hit hard, his huge body twisted in pain and he let out a deafening roar.

You Su did not stop there, he knew very well that this opportunity was rare, his body was like a ghost, rising and falling several times in a row, the sword flashed like a weave, each sword stabbed Bai Ze's vital points accurately, but cleverly avoided Bai Ze's counterattack.

Bai Ze's attacks gradually became chaotic, and each swing of his claws seemed powerless. Several parts of the white fur on his body began to turn red. Even the strongest bones could not withstand the resistance of real steel. This blind and violent beast gradually showed signs of defeat.

Finally, after a fierce confrontation, You Su seized the opportunity, and the Mosong Sword drew a perfect arc in the air, bringing with it a biting cold wind, ready to pierce directly into Bai Ze's heart.

But at this critical moment, an unexpected figure stood in front of Bai Ze.

"No!"

You Su's brows furrowed when he heard that, and he became ruthless in his heart, but he didn't stop thrusting his sword!
"Master, don't do it!!"

Everyone outside the cave cried out in surprise, because they saw that the object under You Su's sword was not the divine beast Bai Ze, but their old clan leader Chen Yi! !
The sword force fell to the ground with a loud bang, and not only the entire cave, but the entire snow mountain seemed to shake a few times. The huge mountain shook off the thick snow, like a small avalanche.

In order to avoid the avalanche and check on the condition of their leader, they had to enter the cave again.

The candlelight once again illuminated the scene inside the cave, and what surprised them even more was that the bloody scene they imagined of the clan leader and Bai Ze being "pierced through a gourd" by You Su did not appear.

The clan leader collapsed to the ground, shaking with fear. Bai Ze also huddled not far away, his scarlet eyes seemed to have dimmed a little, and one could even see fear of You Su, but more of it was vigilance.

You Su was standing in the shadow not far away, with smoke and dust swirling around him. The strange black sword was deeply inserted into the floor, with almost half of the sword body inserted into the floor. It can be seen how fierce You Su's sword was just now.

"I need an explanation."

You Su looked coldly at the patriarch who was still in fear, his voice as cold as ice as he spoke each word.

Wasn't it that he had gone to such great lengths and risked his life to defeat the guardian and take back the Divine Brilliance Stone for the clan leader? But how come at the last moment of success, it was the clan leader himself who came out to stop him from killing Bai Ze?

This feeling of being fooled made You Su feel a little angry, and naturally his tone was no longer so polite.

The few people who had just entered realized that the young man in front of them was more stern than he appeared.

But the young man still moved away the sword that was almost certain to kill him. If he had wanted to, his clan leader would probably have died with Bai Ze.

"Master Youxian... this Bai Ze... can't be killed!"

Chen Yi was trembling. Some people wanted to help him, but he did not take their hands. He just pushed himself up from the ground with difficulty.

You Su raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this and pulled out the Mosong sword that was stuck in the ground.

"Why can't we kill?"

Chen Yi's hands were shaking, his eyes were full of complicated expressions. He spoke slowly, his voice carrying a bit of awe and sorrow: "Master Youxian, you don't know that this Bai Ze is an ancient auspicious beast. According to legend, it understands the feelings of all things and can speak human language. It has been predicted since ancient times that if anyone attempts to kill Bai Ze, they will suffer endless misfortune, and the wind and snow will destroy them, and the heaven and earth will not tolerate them."

You Su was surprised when he heard this. Chen Yi's idea of ​​the auspicious beast was not unique to Bai Ze, but You Su never believed in these things. He had already decided to control his own destiny, so why would he care about these things?

"Just for this rumor, you are willing to risk your life to stop it?"

Chen Yi smiled bitterly, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in his eyes:

"Master Youxian is our benefactor. How could I possibly watch you suffer such misfortune for helping us?"

Hearing this, the others also felt guilty. As people from Northern Aozhou, they all knew a little about the rumor that those who killed the auspicious beast would suffer misfortune. But no one stopped You Su from killing it, just because their obsession of thirty years was about to be fulfilled, and who would care about the consequences that You Su would bear.

You Su was silent for a moment, his eyes deep under his sunglasses, "If you don't kill it, how can you take away the Divine Brilliance Stone?"

"This is a trick of those people... They put the Divine Brilliance Stone here and even used the Divine Beast Bai Ze to guard it because they were afraid that someone would discover the secret hidden so deeply... And those who want to take the Divine Brilliance Stone away will be cautious about using Bai Ze, because the curse does not allow them to take it away by force."

The old man shook his head stiffly, and then seemed to become even older, and sighed:
"If Master Youxian has to bear other sins in order to wash away our sins, how can I redeem myself from all my sins?"

You Su looked at the elderly clan leader in front of him, with mixed emotions welling up in his heart.

You Su was somewhat moved by the old man's sense of responsibility. In the face of his lifelong wish, he actually chose to let it go for You Su's fate.

The people around were also infected, felt deeply ashamed, and echoed him.

You Su pursed her lips, but focused her attention on Bai Ze who was hiding in the back.

Its long white fur was dull and lifeless, and it didn't have the graceful posture that a divine beast should have. It stared at You Su with its scarlet eyes and bared its teeth, and its arched waist seemed to warn You Su not to get close.

You Su was not afraid of it. This mythical beast had no divinity at all. It was useless to have dragon tendons and tiger bones.

He slowly walked towards the Shenhui Stone behind him, trying to touch these ancient and heavy stones with his hands. As expected, Bai Ze immediately stood up again regardless of the pain in his body, and let out a deeper roar to try to drive him away. Judging from his posture, he seemed to be determined to fight to the death.

"Bai Ze can speak human language, do you think it looks like Bai Ze?" You Su stopped his hand, but still didn't press it completely, "If it's not Bai Ze, then I won't have bad luck if I kill it, right?"

The clan leader and others felt a little embarrassed when they heard this, but Bai Ze seemed to understand what You Su said and grinned even more fiercely.

"I'm not Bai Ze, are you?!"

In the empty cave, an extremely childish child's voice suddenly echoed and hovered at the top of the cave.

Everyone was startled and looked around, as if trying to find the source of the child's voice, thinking that some ignorant child had followed them.

But when they finally found it, they all looked at each other in disbelief at the spiky-haired beast.

There are no outsiders here, and the only one who can make this sound seems to be Bai Ze...

You Su suppressed his surprise. He had met the eleventh elder, the master of the Beast Taming Peak, when he was in the Xuanxiao Sect. But even his mythical beast Suanni, which was said to have dragon blood, could not speak. Could Bai Ze be a real mythical beast?

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking at me, I will eat you up!"

It was quite funny to hear such threatening words shouted in such a childish voice, but it was followed by a fierce roar from Bai Ze's true form, making it difficult to tell whether it should be called scary or cute.

You Su just found it interesting and curled his lips slightly:
"It's good that you can talk. Let us take the Divine Brilliance Stone away. I won't kill you." As soon as You Su finished speaking, Bai Ze snorted childishly, as if expressing his disdain.

Its huge body trembled slightly. "You said you won't kill me, so I won't kill you? Who do you think you are?"

You Su chuckled and reached out to press on the Shenhui Stone, feeling the warm touch of the stone. This seemingly casual action made Bai Ze feel like he was facing a great enemy. It roared, ignoring the pain left by the previous battle, and rushed towards You Su.

The huge body carried an unstoppable momentum, but it was powerless in front of You Su who was in the limelight. You Su dodged lightly and neutralized its attack.

In order to avoid hitting the Shenhui Stone behind Yousu, it twisted its huge body and fell heavily to the ground, with snow dust flying. Bai Ze's eyes were full of reluctance and anger, and his pair of small horns were faintly shining, as if he was ready to fight to the death.

Seeing this, Chen Yi hurriedly stepped forward and stood between You Su and Bai Ze. He took a deep breath and tried to keep his voice calm and pious:

"Lord Bai Ze, please calm down! We didn't mean to offend you, we are not bad people! We just want to get these divine stones back..."

Bai Ze got up from the ground, shook his huge head, and said in a muffled voice: "Take back the Divine Brilliance Stone? Just relying on a bunch of mortals like you?"

It glanced at Chen Yi and the tribesmen behind him with disdain, its eyes full of contempt.

"With just a bunch of us mortals..." Chen paused, as if he couldn't bear to open the wound again, but now that things have come to this, there is no need to cover it up. "We were the ones who took the Divine Brilliance Stone away back then, and today we should also send it back."

"So it was you who moved the big rocks here! Did you know that these rocks cannot be moved?"

Bai Ze's slightly childish complaints made Chen Yi and the others feel even more ashamed. They knelt on the ground with Chen Yi, and Chen Yi said in a strong voice:
"We were deceived back then, and blinded by greed, we did such a wrong thing... We hibernated in the far north of the snowfield for thirty years just to atone for our mistakes today!"

After saying this, he secretly observed Bai Ze's reaction. Bai Ze's huge body trembled slightly, and his scarlet eyes narrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Seeing this, Chen Yi was delighted and knew there was hope, so he quickly continued, "I know that Lord Bai Ze must have a reason for guarding the divine brilliance stones. He doesn't want these foundations of the Five Continents to fall into the hands of those with ulterior motives, but we are definitely not bad people. We have only one goal, which is to send these divine brilliance stones back to their original place!"

"Impossible! You are liars!" Bai Ze's voice was sharp and childish, forming a sharp contrast with its huge body.

"Everything I said is true. Otherwise, I would have allowed this Immortal Master to seize the Divine Brilliance Stone." Chen Yi explained.

Bai Ze followed the old man's words and glared at the young man in black clothes. The tense atmosphere between the man and the beast was tense again.

"They told me! No one but them can come and take the big stone away!"

they?

Chen Yi's heart sank when he saw Bai Ze's stressed look. He knew that his guess was right. The conspiracy thirty years ago was far more complicated than he had imagined.

"Who are the 'they' that Lord Bai Ze is talking about?"

"Good man!" Bai Ze said without thinking.

Chen Yi's skin jumped, and he asked:
"Lord Bai Ze was brought here thirty years ago?"

"Thirty years...I can't remember clearly..." Bai Ze shook his head.

Chen Yi thought, "As expected, Bai Ze is a divine beast born in response to the will of heaven. Such creatures have natural divinity, and it is almost impossible to control them with force. Bai Ze's voice is so childish, I'm afraid he was just used by that group of people back then."

"Then there is another tall man... He has very short hair and his nose has been cut off..."

"You know him too?"

You Su had been watching quietly from the side. In his opinion, Bai Ze's intelligence was obviously not very high.

"It was he who ordered us to move the Divine Brilliance Stone… We regretted it later, because he wanted to kill us all, so we hid in the extreme north of the snowfield." Chen Yi whispered softly.

"Impossible!" Bai Ze lowered his body with a ferocious attitude.

"Little thing, what did they tell you at that time?"

You Su weighed the Mosong sword in his hand. Bai Ze grinned at him again, but was afraid of the sharp blade in You Su's hand and did not dare to move forward.

But this cold threat did calm it down. Its huge head drooped as it seemed lost in some memories.

Bai Ze raised his head slowly. The scarlet color in his eyes had become increasingly dim, and a trace of confusion and pain flashed in his eyes. "They said that for the safety of the Five Continents, they need me to protect these important divine stones... They also said..."

"What?" You Su asked suddenly.

Bai Ze took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his inner emotions.
"They also said that as long as I protect these stones, I can... I can..."

Bai Ze's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally became almost a murmur. Chen Yi and others held their breath and did not dare to disturb it.

After a long time, Bai Ze spoke again. His voice was much softer than before, and he seemed to be unsure about what he recalled:
"They said that the reason my home is becoming increasingly desolate is because I haven't protected everyone well... That's why fewer and fewer people come to my home, because they don't believe in me anymore... But now I have a chance to make up for it. As long as I protect these important stones, I will be protecting everyone. When the mission is completed, everyone will know how powerful I am, and my home will become what it was before..."

"Your home? Where is your home?" You Su asked.

Bai Ze raised his head and looked around:
“It’s right here.”

There was silence all around, only Bai Ze's low whimpering echoed in the cave. Chen Yi and his tribesmen looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never thought that the once sacred mountain Cangshan was the birthplace of Bai Ze. They had never thought that the sacred mountain where people prayed was actually the sacred beast Bai Ze. And this became the root cause of the ignorant and kind-hearted Bai Ze being exploited by others.

"So..." You Su spoke slowly, breaking the silence in the cave, "You were deceived."

Bai Ze suddenly raised his head, staring at You Su with his scarlet eyes, his eyes full of anger and hatred. His huge body trembled again, as if he could attack and hurt someone at any time.

"No! I wasn't fooled!" Bai Ze's voice was sharp and harsh, "You are the liars!"

You Su looked at the stubborn beast in front of him and sighed helplessly, as if he saw a stubborn child. The most effective way to deal with such a dishonest child is to slap her and then give her a candy.

"People don't come to Cangshan just because of the increasingly severe snowstorm. They can't even cross the snowstorm, so how can they come to Cangshan. No one doesn't believe you, because they don't even know you are on this mountain, so how can they believe you or not?" You Su said the cold reality.

His directness made Chen Yi feel a little guilty, wondering if this was too cruel to a divine beast with a child's mind. He tried to interrupt several times, but Bai Ze didn't give him a chance to explain.

“Shut up!” Bai Ze raised his head suddenly and screamed, his scarlet eyes igniting with anger again, “You are a liar! You are a liar!”

Its huge claws slammed into the ground, and another loud noise was heard in the cave, and the snow fell down.

"I'm going to find them! I'm going to find them and ask them clearly!" Bai Ze's voice was filled with anger and determination.

Seeing this, You Su knew the time had come. He walked up to Bai Ze and said calmly:

"I can help you."

Bai Ze suddenly raised his head, staring at You Su with his scarlet eyes, full of suspicion and vigilance:

"You? Can you take me to them?"

"That's suicide. I'm not as stupid as you."

You Su said this lightly, and these words made Bai Ze want to chew this annoying young man in black into pieces.

"Beiaozhou is so big that justice will eventually prevail. Find someone who can truly uphold justice, and you will naturally know who has been deceived."

Bai Ze heard this and his huge body trembled slightly. The red in his eyes faded and turned into a deep black. He seemed to remember something and stomped his front hooves excitedly:
"I know who to find! I have a friend! She says she's a very popular person here!"

"Do you have any friends?"

You Su couldn't believe it. It was obvious that only a small number of people knew about Bai Ze's existence, and those people must be extremely powerful. Whether these people really wanted to make friends with a spirit beast was completely questionable.

"Don't be another fake friend who just wants to take advantage of you." You Su shook his head.

"You! You definitely have no friends!"

Bai Ze retorted, then raised his head and said proudly, "She definitely didn't lie to me!"

"Then tell me, who is she?" You Su had no awe for the mythical beast believed in by the people of Beiaozhou.

Bai Ze's eyes rolled around and he suddenly said:
"Meet the Palace Master of Dragon Palace!"

As soon as the words fell, Chen Yi and others were so scared that they sat down on the ground.
