She looked up in Taiheng's direction and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Forget it, it's none of my business. That person doesn't even want to get involved, so why should I bother? But I've been waiting for this so-called evil tide for so long, and I haven't heard any news about it. It still hasn't come." She lay back in her chair and thought for a moment.
"A miscalculation? That shouldn't be the case..."

After leaving the mass grave, Bai Qian didn't think about anything else and headed straight into the city.
Bai Qian wasn't entirely sure about the information she had just received. The only thing she was clear about was that thing called the Hungry Beast that Fu Yue kept mentioning, which could be killed.
For Bai Qian, knowing that He could be killed was more than enough.
As for any other information, there's no need to know, such as His weaknesses.
Because Bai Qian already knows.
His weakness is that he can die.
I plan to go find Bai Yao first and learn the "Incense Eating" technique that I just obtained.
As for that hungry beast later, we can just ask Bai Yao to help us find it.
The vibrant crimson light reflected off the girl's delicate profile, and the slightly dazzling light made Bai Qian squint her eyes.
Her light gray boots shone under the cold, blood-red sun. Bai Qian slightly raised her head, and a series of blood-red ripples flowed through her deep eyes, a reflection of the sky in her cold gaze.
She felt no doubt or surprise what was happening above Taiheng City at this moment, and seemed to have no feeling what was happening here.
Holding only his sword, his boots treading on the crimson shadows, he walked step by step into the city, which seemed to be completely immersed in a red world.
Until the white-clad figure was swallowed up by the silent crimson.

I miss myself at this time last month QAQ
Love you all, please continue reading!
Volume 1: 248. The first time I'd ever seen such a large group of people coming to their deaths.
Bai Yao walked through the obviously gloomy mansion, surveying her surroundings as she went.
This is not some other place, but the prefectural governor's office in Taihang, though it seems to have no presence at the moment.
While it's true that expecting government officials to take charge is asking too much of them, given the world is full of demons and monsters, and the government officials who have learned a little martial arts, plus their meager salaries, are simply not capable of doing anything.
But it's still one of the few forces that can be trusted in the local area.
She came over immediately after realizing that something was wrong with Taiheng.
They didn't take Nian Qi with them, leaving her at home. After all, since they had already noticed her unusual behavior, they naturally wouldn't take the risk of bringing her along before figuring out what was wrong with Nian Qi.
Upon arriving at the county governor's residence, they discovered that the entire mansion had become a dead zone.
Or rather, because at this moment, there was nothing left in the county magistrate's mansion except for corpses scattered all over the place.
As Bai Yao walked along, all she could see were some corpses that looked like they had been torn apart by wild animals. Some of these corpses looked like they had been ripped in half, while others looked like their bodies had been smashed to pieces, with dark red bloodstains all over the ground.
It must have been that some demon forcibly broke into the mansion and killed everyone inside.
This made Bai Yao, who had been watching the whole thing, frown a little.
The mansion, marked by destruction everywhere, makes one imagine that a demon broke into the county magistrate's residence and slaughtered indiscriminately, with no one in the entire mansion able to stop it.
Upon entering a study, I found a corpse with only its lower body remaining, as if some kind of demon had bitten its upper body into its mouth.
Judging from the clothes on the corpse, one could guess that it was probably the county magistrate of Taiheng City.
He didn't look at the corpse, but instead started searching through the study, trying to find something useful.
The study was messy, clearly vandalized, but some books remained.
Bai Yao frowned and squatted down to pick up the books scattered on the ground.
Surprisingly, they were all folklore books, local records and anecdotes from Taiheng City.
After carefully searching through them, I discovered that these books all mentioned famine.
It must have been the deceased county magistrate who was searching through the famine records of Taiheng City over the years before his upper body was bitten off by the demon that broke into his mansion.
They also found something that looked like the county magistrate's diary. After flipping through it, they found it was all trivial matters. Only in the last two pages did some unexpected things happen.
It's happening more and more frequently. I need to find out what it is as soon as possible and ask the imperial court for help, but the court has no intention of paying any attention to me. I can only rely on myself.
[The appetites are growing ever larger, and the famine in the city is becoming increasingly severe...]
No matter what, we have to try it at least once.
This is probably the more useful part of the county magistrate's records. Rather than a diary, it's more like a record used for venting.
However, for Bai Yao, there were indeed many useful things.
Frowning at the pages of the book, she pondered what "it" referred to here—the Lotus Sect or the Hundred Demon Pavilion, something related to famine... It sounded more like the bizarre, since demons generally rarely cause such disasters related to humans.
Aside from the dragon running through the water, she really didn't have any other impressions. In other words, what happened in Taiheng City was related to the strange, but according to the timeline, it might not have anything to do with the Lotus Cult.
While he was still thinking, his eyes flickered slightly as he glanced into the shadows of the room.
She took a gentle breath, and her eyelashes instantly turned a translucent white.
In an instant, his black hair turned completely white, and his pale fingertips stretched out. A wisp of cold air blew out, swept up by the wind and blown into the shadows.
Almost instantly, a sharp scream rang out in the room, but it did not affect Bai Yao's actions. The girl had already thought of a countermeasure in an instant, smashed the window, and rushed out of the room.
Having no intention of fighting the demon hiding in the house, Bai Yao rushed out of the room, her body lifted by a light, icy white aura, transforming into a wisp of cold wind and flying outside.
Almost simultaneously, in the corner of the room, a bat covered in eerie green down rushed out of the study. Its enormous wings, when spread out, seemed to blot out the sky. Its sharp sound was like a shockwave that swept through the entire mansion, instantly shattering the ceramics.
Bai Yao moved without hesitation, rushing out of the mansion under the protection of E Nu's power.
A bat demon is most likely beyond the second realm, and is not someone I can handle.
We need to find a way to get rid of it.
Almost instantly, a solution had been devised.
"Stop running. You think you can escape from me at that speed?" The bat demon's slightly angry voice came from behind. The chill from just now had still affected it somewhat.
Her snow-white hair fluttered in the wind, and the girl's slender figure moved like a fairy, as if dancing. Every time the bat demon and Bai Yao closed the distance, they had to slow down because of the cold air.
Under the blazing, blood-red sun, their shadows were reflected.
It might also be teasing, not in a hurry, just hanging slowly behind Bai Yao, like a cat playing with a mouse.
Bai Yao glanced at the bat demon behind her, lightly touched the ground with her feet, and turned into an alley.
Seeing this, the bat demon didn't take it seriously and followed. He wasn't worried that Bai Yao would have any schemes or that he would be ambushed, since the difference in power was something that nothing could bridge.
As soon as I turned the corner, I discovered that the white figure had vanished without a trace.
Instead, a bulky procession walked the streets.
It was a procession from the Lotus Life Sect. The large group, which I estimated to be nearly a hundred people, was led by several members dressed in red towards the city center.
The moment the bat demon appeared, it was spotted by the Lotus Cult members. A sense of hostility rose in the eyes of the red-clad men, and the group stopped.
The bat demon flew in the air, its wings flapping behind it, its face somewhat gloomy.
Being calculated.
They are not on good terms with the Lotus Sect, at least not in Taiheng.
Normally, even if there were a conflict with the Lotus Sect, it wouldn't be a problem, but in the current situation...
It glanced at the blood-red sun in the sky, wanting to escape, but it would be a loss of face if it just left like that.
This team in front of us doesn't even have three realms yet. If we just leave like this, it will be a loss of face.
The Lotus Cult members opposite them watched the bat demon warily. In fact, they had similar thoughts to the bat demon. Right now, the task of escorting these people to the main altar was more important than fighting with the bat demon.
The two sides reached a stalemate.
However, this stalemate was soon broken. Slightly muffled footsteps echoed from the street, and a figure in white slowly walked over from the other end of the street.
She walked forward with her head down, seemingly unaware of what was happening around her.
But as she got closer, she slowly raised her head and saw the bat demon in the sky, as well as the Lotus Cult's group. She tilted her head slightly.
Are they waiting for me in a meeting?
At the same time, the Bat Demon and the Lotus Sect seemed to have found a way to back down. Since they didn't want to be enemies, they could just find a common enemy. Once the enemy was killed, the way out would naturally be found.
Almost simultaneously, the two sides reached an extraordinary consensus and then attacked the girl in white at the same time.
Not only them, but Bai Yaoren, who was hiding in the shadows, was also stunned. He didn't expect Bai Qian to appear at this time and subconsciously wanted to stop her.
Bai Qian stood still, looking at the bat demon and the Lotus Cult members rushing towards her with a puzzled expression.
If this were a game, a question mark might already be popping up on their little heads.
This is probably the first time I've seen a group of people courting death.

I barely finished writing this QAQ. I feel like I've been having a lot of inexplicable problems lately, and I've been constantly stuck on writing. I really want to go back to how I was two months ago (o`~'o)
Love you all??? If you haven't been following along, wadahi ( ?o ﹏ o? )
Volume 1: 249. It wasn't wrong; it just knew it was about to die.
When Bai Yao saw Bai Qian, he was completely numb.
The idea of letting the bat demon and the Lotus Cult clash was something she had just come up with. After all, if the bat demon chased her at that speed, she probably wouldn't be able to escape even if she ran out of energy.
So they came up with another idea: to use the Lotus Life Sect to restrain the bat demon.
After doing all this, she carefully lurked in the shadows, intending to observe the situation first. If neither side made a move, she planned to find an opportunity to provoke a conflict between them. If there was no opportunity, she would simply run away; there was no need to actually kill the bat demon.
Then they saw Bai Qian walking over from the other side of the street. Bai Yao didn't know why Bai Qian had suddenly appeared, but he knew that in the current situation, both sides would probably point their fingers at Bai Qian at the same time.
Reason told Bai Yao that Bai Qian might be perfectly capable on her own. She knew Bai Qian was very capable and definitely wouldn't need her help.
Bai Yao knew that she was far inferior to Bai Qian, and it was hard to say whether she could be of any help. But seeing the situation, she rushed over without thinking, even faster than the bat demon and the Lotus Cult members.
Even if the two sides, each with their own ulterior motives, have identified a common enemy, they will not rush over in such a hurry. They would rather the other side be injured so that they can devour the other two.
So Bai Yao may not be as fast as the bat demon and the Lotus Cult members, but she was the first to run to Bai Qian's side.
Bai Qian blinked as she looked at Bai Yao, who was dressed in pure white. The snow-like color reminded people of crystal-clear ice crystals. At this moment, Bai Yao could certainly be called an ice beauty.
Bai Qian's idea was simpler: her older sister would definitely be very useful in the summer.
Although there is no air conditioning here, it will definitely be cool to stick to her all day after summer begins.
Bai Yao hurriedly arrived in front of her younger sister. Looking at Bai Qian's slightly dazed face, she couldn't figure out what Bai Qian was thinking at the moment and assumed that Bai Qian was thinking about what to do.
A soft, boneless hand gently waved twice in front of Bai Qian, and Bai Qian slowly came back to her senses, nodding as she looked at Bai Yao, who was more than a head taller than her.
She didn't show any doubt or surprise at Bai Yao's appearance. Rather, it was as if she came to find Bai Yao, since there was no one else in Taiheng besides Bai Yao who could serve as a reference or hold a position.
The speed of the bat demons and the Lotus Cult members did not slow down at all; in fact, their speed increased due to Bai Yao's appearance.
The bat demon, in particular, looked at Bai Yao who had suddenly appeared, and a faint excitement, or perhaps anticipation, appeared in its beastly eyes—anticipation of what was to come.
Bai Yao gently tugged at Bai Qian, but Bai Qian didn't move.
They understood each other's thoughts without even exchanging words.
Bai Yao was a little worried, while Bai Qian felt that there was no need to care too much.
As before, Bai Yao wouldn't force Bai Qian to do anything; Bai Qian could do whatever she wanted, and she would only offer suggestions.
As for the subsequent copying of books, there was no real punishment, since Bai Qian didn't really care about having someone else write for her.
In fact, if his younger sister really didn't want to copy, and pitifully complained to him, he definitely wouldn't have been willing to do it.
Bai Qian glanced at Bai Yao beside her, especially noticing her height.
It's a bit strange, but ever since she heard Fu Yue's words, she's actually started to care a little more about this thing, even though she wasn't particularly interested in it before...
I used to care a little, but not like this.
I don't know why, I'll go back and ask Bai Yao how she grew taller.
