Stop pretending, the seemingly useless junior sister is the real boss.

She never imagined that her master had such a relationship with the Heavenly Demon Sect.

What puzzled her even more was why the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect would imprison his own grandson in such a freezing ice prison.

Furthermore, since his master had such a status in the Heavenly Demon Sect, why did he later choose to cultivate immortal techniques?

What exactly is the reason behind this?

Seeing Bai Xiaobai's expression change slightly, the young Shen Ji looked at her with some curiosity, his tone hesitant and apprehensive.

"What's wrong? You don't look well. Are you... are you afraid of my identity?"

Bai Xiaobai shook her head. "I just didn't expect you to call me Jue. Since your grandfather is the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, why would he imprison you in this ice prison? Is he your family? This is too cruel."

Upon hearing this, young Shen Ji gave her another deep look, his tone still calm, not at all like something a child his age would say.

"Cruel? Family? Heh, this is the Heavenly Demon Sect, there is no such thing as kinship here."

"Although I don't know who you are, I already warned you that this place is dangerous. You shouldn't get involved in these things. Leave now; these matters have nothing to do with you."

Bai Xiaobai looked at the cute little boy with long, dark red hair in front of her, and then thought of her own handsome, ethereal master. She felt that the reason he cultivated both immortal and demonic techniques must have a lot to do with the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Just as Xiaobai wanted to learn more about the situation, she saw the young Shen Ji's expression change.

"Hurry up, get out of here quickly."

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she found that her body was uncontrollably moving backward.

There were still too many questions and doubts that had not been answered. Bai Xiaobai was anxious and subconsciously grabbed the little hand of the young Shen Ji.

"I don't care if you call me 'amazing' or 'silent,' remember this: my name is Bai Xiaobai, and I'm the junior disciple you took in at Xiaoyao Peak. You are my master. The reason we can speak face-to-face now is because I've entered your memories. Master, I want to save you, and I want to take you away from here. So tell me, why did you choose to cultivate both immortal and demonic arts? And why did your grandfather imprison you here? What conspiracy does the Heavenly Demon Sect have?"

"Master, hold my hand and don't let go."

"..."

Seeing this bright woman who suddenly appeared, uttering strange and incomprehensible words, and then suddenly about to leave, a trace of reluctance arose in the quiet heart of the young man.

He didn't know why she was here, nor did he know anything about her master or Xiaoyao Peak, but he had a strong intuition.

That means going with her, leaving with her.

Perhaps she could take him away from this place that caused him so much pain.

He instinctively gripped her hand tightly.

"Sister, I..."

But before he could finish speaking, he heard a familiar voice that he loathed and that filled him with instinctive fear.

"Jue, you can't escape. Your body belongs to the original owner. If you don't want the people you care about to die, then obediently listen to your grandfather."

His face was pale and his expression was pained. After hesitating for a moment, he gradually loosened his grip on Bai Xiaobai's hand.

Bai Xiaobai couldn't hear any sound, but she felt the hand that had been trying to hold her tightly slowly loosening.

"Master, don't... don't let go."

However, the next moment, a white light flashed, and her vision returned to darkness.

The cold touch in her hands was still there, but she couldn't see anyone or hear anything.

"Master, where are you?"

"Master..."

She cried out desperately, but there was no response.

After an unknown amount of time, light returned to my vision.

The place she arrived at seemed to be a battlefield that had just experienced a major battle.

The air was thick with the stench of blood, and there were also many severed limbs.

She saw her master again, and she also saw the crocodile that was about half a foot long that her master was holding in his arms.

At this moment, his master was dressed in white, his white hair was as white as snow, and he was aloof and otherworldly, just like when he was at Xiaoyao Peak.

But at this moment, his face was cold, his eyes were bloodshot, and his cheeks were stained with blood.

Standing opposite him was an indescribably withered old man.

How should I describe it?

It's like wearing an old human skin on a skeleton.

If the withered old man hadn't spoken, Bai Xiaobai would have thought that describing him as a skeleton would have been more apt.

"Jue, your grandfather warned you that if you ran away, they would all die. So you killed them. Your grandfather made you cultivate immortal techniques to make your body more perfect, but you actually wanted to run away. Jue, those immortal sects will not accept an anomaly like you. You are a monster in their eyes, and a wicked demonic cultivator in their eyes. Your grandfather knows that you are living in pain and have always wanted to be free. So hand over your body. In order to cultivate this body for you, your grandfather exhausted his energy and gave you all the resources of the entire Heavenly Demon Sect. It is time for you to repay your grandfather."

Hearing what the withered old man said, Bai Xiaobai was completely shocked.

So the reason why their master cultivated both the immortal and demonic paths was actually the work of the Heavenly Demon Sect Master.

Moreover, judging from what he just said, he actually coveted his own master's body.

Bai Xiaobai was furious.

This old man's own body couldn't take it anymore, so he locked up his master when he was young and made him cultivate both immortal and demonic techniques, all so that he could take over his master's body at the right time.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, thinking about how her master was now unconscious and how the Daoist arts of immortals and demons had been tormenting his body and soul for years.

It turns out that all of this was done by the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

She couldn't take it anymore!

"You old geezer! If you want to die, just die! Why torture my master? With your ugly appearance, you think you can take over my master's body? You're dreaming!"

"Let me tell you, now that I, Bai Xiaobai, am here, I will definitely rescue my master. He is your own grandson, and this is how you treat him? Do you know how much suffering he has endured all these years? You demon, you bastard."

"So what if you're the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect? I, Bai Xiaobai, am not afraid of you. Once I get out, I'll definitely bring my senior brothers and sisters to tear down your lousy Heavenly Demon Sect. I'll repay you for all the pain you've inflicted on my master over the years. You old bastard, you old devil."

"Now I understand. Those demonic cultivators who appeared on the Tianyan Continent were sent by you, you old bastard, to find my master. No wonder my master brought us out to train; it was to avoid you, you old bastard."

"You old bastard, when I find you one day, I'll definitely smash your skeleton to pieces."

"..."
