After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Xu Ze's words indeed caused Bai Yuxi to briefly freeze.

Her eyes were glazed over, and only one thought kept repeating in her mind.

Why does even he know his own identity?!

He clearly has a Golden Core level restriction on his body!

How could someone at the mere Qi Refining stage possibly see through it?

"Who...who exactly are you...?"

Bai Yuxi completely lost her composure, and her face turned deathly pale.

She boasted that she had kept a very good profile within the sect throughout the year.

How exactly was it discovered?!

"That's not important, answer my question!"

Seeing that he had gained the upper hand, Xu Ze immediately began to press his advantage.

Bai Yuxi gritted her teeth, seemingly wanting to express endless grievances. After a long while, she finally uttered a few words: "You're asking me?"

"For our Nine-Tailed Fox Clan, your physique is simply the most precious medicine in the world! As long as it is combined with the corresponding cultivation techniques, it can be equivalent to ten years of arduous training in less than one night!"

Hearing the girl's words, Xu Ze felt a sense of relief.

Just as I expected.

"So you're that eager to improve? Wouldn't it be better to cultivate slowly?"

He was powerless to help her now and could only try to persuade Bai Yuxi to leave the virtuous life behind.

"You still dare to talk!"

But to everyone's surprise, she suddenly started trembling all over, and her eyes turned blood red.

"If it weren't for you humans, I would never have needed to learn how to transform into human form, let alone cultivate!"

Chapter 19 Azure Cloud Sword

"You humans are all bad, especially the men!"

Provoked by Xu Ze's words, Bai Yuxi was filled with grief and indignation. Her fox-like eyes burned not only with anger, but also with a deep-seated despair.

These words were clearly something she had been holding back for a long time, and now they all came out at once.

"We can't generalize and condemn everyone..."

Xu Ze was also frightened by that look.

What kind of inhumane treatment did this little girl suffer?

Before he could ask any more questions...

Bai Yuxi, who was in a vulnerable state, looked at him with resentment and turned around. She tore a hole in her dress, revealing a large expanse of white skin.

Such a scene, which should not be seen, immediately made Xu Ze's eyes widen.

Why are they suddenly going to use CG? This doesn't make sense; this isn't how things are done in Ga La Ge Mu Li!

"Did you see it clearly?"

Bai Yuxi gave a cold laugh, and tears silently slid down her cheeks.

Xu Ze's pupils contracted slightly. On her jade-like back, a strange, deep purple mark was slowly writhing, corroding her skin like a living thing.

The system panel then appeared—

The Evil Mark of Slavery

[Level: Nascent Soul]

[Description: This nine-tailed fox was marked with this mark when she was young. From then on, she had only one goal in life: to cultivate continuously until she formed her golden core and became the vessel for the mark's owner.]

Xu Ze gasped.

He could clearly feel that Bai Yuxi's true energy was constantly converging towards this place, and if she slacked off even for a moment, she would suffer immense pain.

"Twenty years ago, a human at the Nascent Soul stage massacred my tribe. He killed my parents in front of me and then planted this mark on me."

"Eighteen years later, I will suffer the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows every day. Only by improving my cultivation can I feel a little better!"

"But what's the use of all this? The glimmer of hope I'm desperately seeking only leads to becoming his slave in the future..."

Bai Yuxi cried, her face streaked with tears, almost turning into a tearful mess.

Her delicate body trembled slightly, as if she might collapse at any moment.

Since joining the Biyang Sect last year, she has been cautious every day, fearing that her demon identity would be exposed and even more afraid that people would see the marks on her body.

On the surface, she appears to be a high and mighty celestial being.

But what's the reality?

She had long since become a victim of that man's desires!

"..."

Xu Ze fell silent for a moment.

He couldn't bring himself to say words of comfort, for as the saying goes, "Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering," and he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence, his expression shifted slightly, and he said in a low voice, "I will help you."

If he were to say that he was merely a nobody in this world of cultivation, Xu Ze probably wouldn't dare to make such a boastful claim.

But now, he has a system with him, and he has unlimited chances to start over!

Not to mention that Bai Yuxi was the key factor in his success in clearing the game.

Xu Ze could not stand idly by and do nothing about such heinous acts.

He must find the person who placed this mark... and let them know what true cruelty is!

"You?" Bai Yuxi merely sneered. "Why should I believe you?"

She had long since lost all trust in human beings.

"No, little sister," Xu Ze said helplessly, spreading his hands. "Is there anything else about you that I could lie to you about?"

The two of them looked at each other.

After looking at each other for a while...

Bai Yuxi silently adjusted her dress, resuming her usual aloof demeanor.

Yes, she's already like this.

What else is there to be fooled about?

Besides, he had already revealed his biggest secret, and as for his body... the other party didn't seem interested.

"Then I don't think you can help me. You're just a Qi Refining stage cultivator; you have no chance against that man."

Bai Yuxi calmed down and regained her ability to think.

Although the boy in front of her could see that she was a fox demon, judging from his cultivation level, he was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, and even weaker than she was now.

Even if he wanted to help me, what could he possibly do?

"Who exactly is the man you're talking about?" Xu Ze went straight to the point.

Bai Yuxi bit her lip so hard that a trace of blood even oozed out. "He is the sect leader of the Biyang Sect. I cannot reveal his name."

“He killed my parents and imprisoned my fox clan elders. He was at least at the Nascent Soul stage. You couldn’t possibly be his match.”

“Indeed, it’s impossible in this lifetime.” Xu Ze didn’t argue with that.

Going to them now would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

But once you obtain this intelligence, with the other side in the open and you in the shadows, it will be the key to victory or defeat in the next life or even several lifetimes.

"No wonder this instance is called the Biyang Sect, it turns out the sect leader is a Biyang..."

After listening to Bai Yuxi's story, Xu Ze also felt a surge of passion rising in his chest.

She was supposed to be such an adorable little fox sister!

You've tormented me to this extent!

brute!

"I need an identity at Yaoyue Peak. From now on, you and I should have less contact. This matter needs to be discussed in detail."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely find a chance to kill him for you..."

Xu Ze had no other choice but to offer Bai Yuxi empty promises to keep her calm.

I need to hurry and see if there's anything I can get away with in this Biyang Sect, such as pills and techniques, so as to improve my strength as much as possible in this lifetime.

In the first phase of the system rewards, the [Anchor Point] cannot be used, but in the next life, you can choose to inherit the cultivation level of this life at birth!

If I cultivate until I'm twenty, I should at least be at the Foundation Establishment stage, right?

"Kid, who are you trying to kill?"

however.

This time, it wasn't Bai Yuxi who responded to him.

A slightly aged voice, tinged with malice, rang out.

Alarm bells rang in Xu Ze's mind immediately; he hadn't expected them to arrive so quickly!

That somewhat familiar voice belonged to none other than the old alchemist, He Yundao!

"Hehehe, kid, I didn't expect you to dare to set your sights on our sect leader."

"You ant? You're really overestimating yourself!"

He Yundao flew out from the clouds, carrying the terrifying pressure of a peak Golden Core cultivator.

Both of them were pressed firmly to the ground by this oppressive force, unable to breathe.

Bai Yuxi, in particular, had bloodshot eyes and her hatred had reached its limit, almost to the point of going berserk.
