Lack of talent? I'll buy a year's worth of cultivation for one dollar!

A deep sense of desolation flashed in his cold eyes.

Sculpt the Realm of Truth.

What a powerful being.

With his meager cultivation level, he was utterly incapable of resisting.

They didn't even have the right to run away.

Is this fate?

She escaped the infighting within her family and the humiliation of an arranged marriage.

Ultimately, however, they will die in this desolate sea of ​​sand.

To become food for an animal.

Bai Zhi slowly closed her eyes.

His hands hung limply at his sides.

Waiting to die.

Quietly, awaiting death.

Take a breath.

Two breaths.

Three breaths.

The expected excruciating pain did not come.

The carriage was not smashed.

Suddenly, an eerie silence descended upon the surroundings.

The wind stopped.

The hissing of the sand scorpions also disappeared.

Bai Zhi's long eyelashes trembled slightly.

She slowly opened her eyes.

then.

Her pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints.

Breathing stopped completely at that moment.

In front.

That massive, crimson-armored sand scorpion exuded a terrifying aura of the True Form Realm.

It still maintains the posture of raising its giant claws high.

but.

Its head, however, was gone.

An extremely smooth, mirror-like cut appeared on its neck.

No blood gushed out.

There was no struggle before death.

It was like being struck by some incomprehensible, dimensional-transcending blade.

In an instant, its head was wiped out.

boom.

The enormous, headless corpse, devoid of all life, crashed heavily into the yellow sand.

It stirred up a cloud of dust.

died?

A terrifying beast that has just broken through to the True Form Realm.

He just...died like that?!

Bai Zhi stared blankly at the scene, her mind completely blank.

It wasn't just her.

The guards around him were all seriously injured and lying on the ground, including Bai Yan, who had just woken up.

They all stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost.

Who did it?

Who did this?!

There was no trace of any fluctuation in the laws of nature.

No powerful figure exerted any pressure on them.

This ferocious beast, at the True Formation Realm, looked as if it had cut off its own head.

absurd.

Utterly absurd.

Just as everyone was filled with doubt and uncertainty.

rear.

Inside that dilapidated carriage.

A very soft, almost imperceptible sigh was heard.

Swish.

All eyes turned to the carriage.

The carriage curtain was slowly lifted by a slender, pale hand.

Su Yu.

They retrieved it from the desert.

A young ape-like man covered in blood, with all his meridians severed, and diagnosed as a "cripple" by Bai Yan.

now.

He was sitting calmly on the edge of the carriage.

A tattered plain robe.

His face was still pale.

But those deep eyes revealed a chilling indifference that sent shivers down one's spine.

He simply and smoothly withdrew the slightly raised index finger.

There were no unnecessary movements.

No unnecessary words.

But everyone present understood a fact at that moment.

It's him.

He killed that Sand Scorpion at the True Formation Realm.

Instant kill.

The entire room fell silent.

Bai Yan swallowed hard, his throat dry and sore.

He looked at Su Yu.

I recall what I said before.

"Bringing along such a useless person is a burden."

"Just find a sand dune and bury it there."

Cold sweat instantly soaked through Bai Yan's back.

How dare I attempt to bury a terrifying being capable of instantly killing a True Formation Realm beast?!

This is...

What kind of monster is it?

The pinnacle of true cultivation?

Or is it a great demon who has already stepped into the Transcendent Realm?!

No wonder he survived such severe injuries.

No wonder he survived despite having all his meridians severed.

Because his realm was simply beyond the comprehension of these low-level demon races in the Dust Realm!

Shock.

In awe.

fear.

A complex mix of emotions swirled in the hearts of the fox clan guards.

No one dared to speak.

Even breathing was suppressed to the extreme.

They were afraid of offending this mysterious and powerful figure.

In front of the carriage.

Bai Zhi looked at Su Yu.

A fierce light flashed in his cool eyes.

Sculpt the Realm of Truth.

Instant kill.

This was a power she never dared to dream of.

in case.

If there were such a strong person to protect you.

Does this mean I don't need to go through the marriage alliance?

Is there any hope for the family?

A crazy idea grew wildly in Bai Zhi's mind like weeds.

She took a deep breath.

I forcibly suppressed the fear and shock in my heart.

I straightened my disheveled clothes.

Take the first step.

They walked gently to Su Yu's carriage.

Both knees are slightly bent.

They performed the most solemn salute of the demon race with utmost respect.

"Angelica dahurica of the Fox Clan".

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

The voice was clear and crisp, with a hint of barely concealed tremor.

Su Yu sat on the edge of the carriage.

His expression was calm and serene.

"Just doing it on a whim."

The voice was flat and even, without any inflection.

That attack just now only involved a trace of the spatial laws he had recovered.

Space is folded and staggered.

For a spatial divine kingdom at the peak of the town, killing a newly broken through True Realm cultivator is nothing.

Bai Zhi raised her head.

Looking at Su Yu's ordinary face.

He gritted his teeth.

A decision has been made.

"senior."

Bai Zhi's voice conveyed a sense of resolute determination, like burning one's boats.

Bai Zhi has a request.

"I hope you can help me, senior."

Su Yu remained silent.

I just watched her quietly.

To be continued.

Bai Zhi took a deep breath and spoke very quickly.

"My lineage of white foxes is now facing a great calamity."

"My father was seriously injured, and my family is on the verge of extinction."

"My purpose in going to Sirius City is to arrange a marriage with the Black Flame Wolf Clan in exchange for the survival of my family."

"But I don't want to be a tool for a political marriage."

"I don't want to entrust my fate to those jackals."

She looked at Su Yu with a stubborn gaze.

"Your strength is extraordinary."

"If you would be so kind as to lend a helping hand and protect my White Fox lineage."

"Bai Zhi is willing to pay any price!"

"Even if I were to serve as a slave or maid, I would have no complaints!"

It was a resounding statement.

There is no escape route.

Bai Yan and the others around them all lowered their heads upon hearing this.

They knew the young lady's inner suffering.

But, should we seek help from a powerful figure of unknown origin?

This risk is too great.

Does anyone know what this senior's temperament is like?

If you anger him, the entire convoy will be reduced to ashes in an instant.

The edge of the carriage.

Su Yu listened to Bai Zhi's request.

There was no immediate response.

In his deep eyes, a dark, cold flame flickered slightly.

He was weighing his options.

To shelter a lowly fox clan member?

For him, it was a piece of cake.

If he recovers even 10% of his injuries, he can roam freely not only in Tianlang City, but also on the very edge of the entire Wanling Demon Abyss.

However, there is no such thing as a free lunch.

What he needs most right now is not servants.

It's intelligence, not information.

Information about the Abyss of Ten Thousand Spirits.

Information regarding the kill order.

And even more advanced core materials that can enable the Time God Kingdom to break through to the Primordial Realm.

The source of the long river of time.

He needs a plausible identity to navigate the Abyss of Ten Thousand Spirits.

He needs a local force to help him gather intelligence.

The white fox lineage, though weak.
