This is my ancestral home. Even if she is indeed stronger than me, I still have ways to overpower her.
However, this method would result in significant losses, but no matter how great the losses are, we must resolve this issue.
With this in mind, Bai Feng finally had an idea. He looked up at the rock wall above.
The woman, now with long, gray hair, disappeared into the rock face.
---
Bai Yao sat at the village entrance, watching the people coming and going, his mind slightly unsettled, worrying about Bai Qian.
To be precise, she didn't know how Bai Qian was doing. She had suddenly disappeared, and she was worried that Bai Qian might do something impulsive because of this.
Even the person Huang Gu mentioned earlier who broke into this underworld, Bai Yao was worried that it might be Bai Qian.
Xiaoqian does seem like the kind of person who could do something like this.
But worrying about this kind of thing only leads to confusion. Rather than worrying about this, it would be better to resolve the current situation as soon as possible. There is indeed very little they can do in the face of the wicked people and Lady Bai Feng.
However, Bai Yao learned some things from Huang Gu's information, such as the origin of Bai Feng Niangniang. According to Huang Gu, she was originally a resident of this village, but later became like this due to some accidents.
Putting those matters aside for now, Bai Yao was gathering this intelligence to prepare a plan for their next move out.
She could tell that Huang Gu and Bai Feng Niangniang had a grudge, and now if she wanted to deal with Bai Feng Niangniang, she had to rely on Huang Gu.
It's not impossible if we can find Bai Feng Niangniang's weakness.
"Miss Bai, would you like some?" Pei Huan brought over some dry food; Bai Yao had been sitting there for a while.
"Okay, thank you." Bai Yao nodded, took the dry food Pei Huan handed her, and took a bite.
"Do you know everything about the situation in this village?" Pei Huan then asked.
"Yes, I guess so. The... strange people living here are all rescued people who still retain their rationality. You should know this too," Bai Yao nodded in reply.
Pei Huan nodded upon hearing this: "Yes, that's about right, but they're a bit distant from us."
“Distance is the right thing to do. Given their current situation, they won’t trust anyone other than Miss Huang.” Bai Yao wasn’t surprised by this. These people had all had their limbs cut off and were brought in, so it was natural for them to be wary.
“I plan to see what Sister Huang is planning before we go together,” Bai Yao continued.
"This is the only way we can escape from here now. Otherwise, we have no chance on our own."
"Then wait for Master Qian?" Pei Huan asked.
Bai Yao remained silent for a while after hearing this, then looked at the horizon not far away.
"We're not sure when Xiaoqian will come, and besides, it's too dangerous here. Even if Xiaoqian does come, we need to be prepared for the worst," Bai Yao continued.
She had a feeling that what Huang Gu had said before meant that the person Bai Feng Niangniang was paying attention to was Bai Qian, but since there was no information available, it was difficult to make a judgment.
With a slight sigh, Bai Yao considered whether or not to go over there to rescue the people.
If it really is Xiaoqian, then we definitely can't ignore it.
Pei Huan took a bite of his dry rations and nodded in agreement.
But as she looked up at the sky, she saw a giant bird covered in gray-black feathers flying in from the horizon. It flew in and looked this way, meeting the gaze of the two of them.
"Found it." The two men's voices, slightly jubilant yet chilling, echoed this.

Volume 1: Chapter 106, Together with Despair
Bai Qian looked around blankly.
Should it be over?
Perhaps, but she still felt something was off.
My lifespan has increased strangely, but not by much, and it's not quite what I expected.
The strange creatures that approached were all burned to ashes by the furnace fire. As for what Lady Bai Feng said...
He was cut down by a sword, but was given some strange lifespan.
But to be honest, it feels a bit too little? Or rather, it's so little that it's puzzling.
Only fifty years.
If you think about it carefully, it's most likely because the White Phoenix Lady we just saw wasn't her true form, but just an avatar, similar to the previous situation.
He is still here, only now...
Bai Qian turned her head again.
The desolate, gray-white wilderness stretched as far as the eye could see, and she felt slightly lost.
What should we be doing now?
Continue searching for Him? Or find His true form and kill Him?
Bai Qian did want to do that, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it for the time being.
Let's find Bai Yao and the others first. Once we've found them and confirmed their safety, we can consider this matter.
So the problem now is...
She shifted her gaze again and looked around.
Which way should we go?
----
A strange, gray-black bird flew through the air, its chilling gaze fixed on Bai Yao and Pei Huan.
Both of them felt a strange chill at the same time.
It's another monster that, just by looking at it, seems completely impossible to fight.
It's even more eerie than the previous big-headed creature.
The strange bird landed on an open space next to the village, its gaze fixed on Bai Yao and the other person.
Bai Yao frowned slightly, clearly sensing that the strange bird was not friendly. However, despite its unfriendly nature, it did not attack directly but instead watched from the side.
Huang Gu hurriedly ran out of the house and saw the strange gray-black bird standing to the side. She quickly ran between the two people and the strange bird.
"Thankfully, nothing went wrong." She breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"As for this one... you can just call it Fu Niao, it's from our side." She walked to Fu Niao's side and stroked the strange bird's scales with her palm.
The strange bird, known as the Fu Bird, continued to stare intently at Bai Yao and the others, as if it were looking at something that resembled food, which sent a chill down their spines.
"The reason our village is still able to exist is all because of it. It's the one that deals with the strange people or other supernatural beings sent by Lady White Phoenix on ordinary days," Huang Gu continued.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yao carefully examined the bird lying opposite her, feeling a little hesitant.
"Then is the reason why Lady Bai Feng won't come over...?" Bai Yao asked.
"No, that's not it. I don't know the specific reason either. I only know that He hasn't dared to come over for some reason, perhaps because of the calamity many years ago?" Huang Gu shook her head and replied.
"Robbery?" Bai Yao frowned slightly upon hearing this. She seemed to have a vague impression of the term, but after thinking about it carefully, she couldn't recall anything.
“You’ve just arrived and don’t know much about the affairs of the underworld under Bai Feng Niangniang. But the problem now is that we have to take action. I’m not sure why she brought you in, but I’m certain that if we don’t take action, she will definitely turn against us.”
Bai Yao understood what Huang Gu meant and agreed with her idea; waiting to die here was definitely not a realistic option.
"Then, just now, I got some information from some other strange people," Huang Gu said with a somewhat strange expression.
"Just now, Lady White Phoenix gathered a group of strange beings and attacked the people who had just arrived in the underworld."
Bai Yao's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this.
"How is it?" she asked quickly.
Huang Gu paused for a moment.
“It’s all gone.” Her tone was strange.
"What's gone?" Bai Yao wasn't quite sure.
"What else could be gone? Lady White Phoenix and all those strange people she was entangled with are gone." Huang Gu shrugged lightly.
"I don't know how she did it. Although she's not invincible, it's like something you'd dream about." She muttered to herself.
"Do you know what the person who is coming looks like?"
"All I know is that he was wearing white. Do you recognize him?"
Bai Yao did not answer.
Does my little Qian have the ability to kill the deity and his retinue in a place where the gods offer incense?
Hard to say.
Bai Yao wasn't quite sure. She had seen Bai Qian in action and knew that Bai Qian was very powerful, but she really didn't have a concept of just how powerful she was.
"So, Lady Bai Feng is gone now? Can we leave?" Pei Huan asked, as she was able to grasp the crux of the matter.
"No, it's not that simple. It's just an avatar. Its true form is in the Limb Cave. We can only deal with it by eliminating its true form." Huang Gu shook her head. She had studied this matter and knew exactly how to deal with Bai Feng Niangniang.
"I plan to go out and find that man, to see if I can bring her back. If we can reunite, then it's not like we have no chance to really kill him," Huang Gu continued.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yao quickly replied, "I'll go with you."
“That works too. If you know her, you’ll be able to persuade her even better.” Huang Gu nodded and touched the scales of the bird-patting bird beside her.
She paused for a moment, and a gray-white figure quietly appeared in her line of sight.
The woman had appeared by the wall at some point, and as if noticing Huang Gu's gaze, she gave Huang Gu a mysterious smile.
Huang Gu realized something.
"Be careful." A short, anxious voice came from her mouth.
Bai Yao turned her head and saw a woman in gray leaning against the wall, looking in their direction.
Immediately afterwards, the woman turned into fine dust and scattered in all directions.
Bai Yao was still somewhat confused, not knowing what had happened.
The strange bird's screeching voice filled her ears. It stared at Bai Yao with its gray-black eyes, as if all she could see was the girl's slender and graceful figure.
The claws slammed down without hesitation.
Bai Yao didn't know what was happening, but thanks to Huang Gu's reminder, she was prepared and rolled to the side the moment the bird's claws came down, dodging the crashing claws.
However, it's possible that the bird-feeding creature, which has gone mad for some reason, will not stop.
It continued to raise its paw.
Bai Yao can dodge one claw, but it's obviously unrealistic to expect it to dodge a second.
After a moment's hesitation, he unhesitatingly activated the remaining traces of Enu's aura within his body.
A white, icy aura flowed through her body, and Bai Yao ran to the side.
Fighting this strange bird head-on is obviously unrealistic; it's better to run first.
It stays away from villages because its target is itself; if it runs towards villages, it will accidentally damage things in the villages.
Having made the decision, her figure transformed into a light, flowing, ice-white ribbon.
Fu Niao followed.
When Huang Gu saw this, she was stunned for a moment and quickly tried to follow.
Bai Yao didn't run very far; the gap between her and Fu Niao was too great. Even though she quickly closed the gap by relying on E Nu's abilities, her efforts became a joke when Fu Niao took flight.
A chilling breath spread through Bai Yao's body as she ran across the gray wasteland.
With a mournful cry, the gray-black bird spread its wings, and all the light was captured by this gray-black color, filling the world with darkness.
It crashed down with a deafening roar, a terrifying sound like thunder echoing in Bai Yao's ears. The earth was whipped by a fierce wind, and Bai Yao's long hair flew wildly.
They stood still, watching the falling black curtain.
There's no way to avoid it.
Almost instantly, Bai Yao made a judgment: the moment the bird landed, he would probably be crushed by its enormous body.
