Bai Luoxue joyfully looked in the direction the voice had come from.
The next second, she was disappointed.
The mountain peak behind her was completely empty. There wasn’t a single person in sight, not even a mosquito.
’An illusion?’
Dejection washed over Bai Luoxue’s face.
Ever since the Holy Spirit Assembly, she hadn’t been able to get Su Mo out of her mind. Her thoughts were filled with his heroic figure.
Several times, she had thought she’d seen Su Mo, only to startle awake from a dream.
And each time, she was met with disappointment.
This time, she had risked her life to come to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground. It wasn’t really for the sake of training; she simply wanted to see Su Mo just once.
Her thoughts of him were constant, her longing profound.
A moment ago, a familiar voice had echoed in her ears. She thought she’d finally met Su Mo, but it turned out to be just another illusion.
’Am I, Bai Luoxue, destined to never see Elder Su again in this life?’
Bai Luoxue sighed helplessly.
’No!’
’I absolutely cannot let Elder Su see me transformed into an Evil Demon.’
’He would be disgusted with me.’
Bai Luoxue steeled her resolve. "As long as I tear my own body to pieces, you won’t be able to resurrect me and turn me into an Evil Demon, right?"
"What? You’re going to tear yourself to pieces?"
"What a vicious woman!"
"Everyone says we Evil Demons are vicious, but they don’t realize you humans are even more so."
The three burly, pale-skinned men stared in utter disbelief.
Under their shocked gazes, Bai Luoxue exhaled a breath of cold air, enveloping herself.
She was going to freeze herself solid and then shatter her body into ice shards.
"Elder Su, if fate allows, let’s meet again in the next life," Bai Luoxue whispered, raising a hand to strike her own forehead.
POW!
Suddenly, a large hand grabbed her arm.
"Don’t stop me! Let me die!"
Bai Luoxue roared.
However, the moment she looked up, she saw a familiar face staring at her in confusion. "Silly girl, why are you trying to kill yourself?"
"Elder Su, is it really you?"
Bai Luoxue asked, overjoyed.
Su Mo retorted, "What do you mean, ’is it really me’? I am who I am. Don’t tell me someone’s impersonating me?"
Hearing Su Mo’s affirmative answer, Bai Luoxue was both shocked and delighted.
However, she still couldn’t believe it.
"Ow, that hurts!"
Bai Luoxue pinched her arm hard, so hard that it turned purple.
Su Mo frowned. "You silly girl, why do you keep hurting yourself?"
"I was just making sure you were real."
Bai Luoxue gave an embarrassed laugh, then recounted what had happened to her.
At the Holy Spirit Assembly, after learning that Su Mo was coming to the Demon Venerable Burial Ground, she had returned to her sect to persuade her master to bring her here for training.
Along the way, she also ran into Hua Tianmen of the Great Demon Sect and Fairy Jinghong.
The group of them had entered through a spatial rift.
She had hoped to find Su Mo as soon as possible, but who would have thought that right after entering the Demon Venerable Burial Ground, they would run into a group of powerful Evil Demons?
"These three guys are Evil Demons?"
Su Mo looked back at the three pale-skinned, burly men, his face full of confusion.
’Aren’t Evil Demons supposed to be dangerous?’
’How come I don’t feel even a hint of danger from them?’
Bai Luoxue explained, "Elder Su, they are all subordinates of the Evil King. They’re Evil Demons at the Martial Monarch Great Perfection Level."
"Oh, so they’re low-level Evil Demons. No wonder I couldn’t feel any danger."
Su Mo came to a sudden realization.
What?
Low-level Evil Demons?
Hearing Su Mo’s words, the three Evil Demons flew into a rage.
’This kid actually dares to look down on us.’
The Scarred Evil Demon threatened coldly, "Kid, are you looking to die? Believe it or not, I’ll suck every drop of blood from your body and turn you into a shriveled corpse!"
"A shriveled corpse? Not a bad idea!"
"I could use another shriveled corpse as an underling,"
the other two Evil Demons said arrogantly.
Su Mo ignored the three Evil Demons’ threats. Pointing at Bai Luoxue, he said, "She is my friend, and you frightened her. Apologize to her at once."
"Huh?"
The three Evil Demons were utterly dumbfounded.
’Is this kid a fucking idiot?’
’He’s actually demanding we apologize to Bai Luoxue.’
’Doesn’t he know we’re the most evil beings in the world?’
The Scarred Evil Demon sneered, "You want *me* to apologize? Sure. Hand over that little girl and let me have some fun with her for a few days."
BAM!
With a loud, explosive crack, the Scarred Evil Demon was slapped into a cloud of white mist.
In an instant, the remaining two Evil Demons were scared stupid.
’This guy’s power is terrifying.’
’We’re Evil Demons at the Martial Monarch Great Perfection Level! Even an Early Stage Martial King couldn’t touch us.’
’But who would’ve thought one of us would be killed by some human punk?’
"Apologize!"
Su Mo said icily.
THUD!
The two Evil Demons dropped to their knees. "Miss, we were wrong! You are a magnanimous person, please spare us! We’ll never do it again!"
BAM! BAM!
Su Mo raised his hand and slapped the two Evil Demons to death.
"Elder Su, why did you kill them?"
Bai Luoxue asked, astonished.
’The two Evil Demons already apologized,’ she wanted to say.
Su Mo said flatly, "I only told them to apologize. I never said I would forgive them. They reek of Evil Qi; they deserved to die."
’I don’t have time to go hunting down Evil Demons.’
’But since I’ve run into them, I might as well kill them on the spot. Consider it a public service.’
Bai Luoxue didn’t know what Su Mo was thinking and couldn’t help but praise, "Elder Su is truly a righteous man who despises evil."
"Right, who is this Evil King you mentioned earlier?"
Su Mo asked curiously.
Suddenly, Bai Luoxue cried out in alarm, "Oh no, I almost forgot! Fairy Jinghong, Hua Tianmen, and my master... they’re all trapped by the Evil King!"
"Ah..."
Su Mo looked exasperated.
Bai Luoxue asked in a small voice, "Elder Su, are you willing to save them?"
"Is it far?"
Su Mo asked.
He needed to go to the Bloody Mountain Range to pick the Burial Ground Blood Flower. If it was too far or a major detour, it would be inconvenient.
’I can’t delay my advancement to Martial Artist just to save some people.’
’I’ve waited so long for this day.’
Bai Luoxue said urgently, "Not far, it’s right at the foot of the Bloody Mountain Range."
"The foot of the Bloody Mountain Range?"
Su Mo’s eyes lit up. "Then let’s go save them right away. By the way, I’ll have to trouble you to give me a lift. I can’t fly."
Hearing this, Bai Luoxue was stunned.
’Such an incredible, powerful person... can’t fly?’
’Is he serious?’
Su Mo urged, "Hurry up and take me! If we’re late, your master, Fairy Jinghong, and the others will be done for!"
"Then... then how should I carry you?"
Bai Luoxue asked in a panic.
It hadn’t been long since she advanced to Grand Martial Artist. She could only manage Flying by herself; she had never carried anyone before.
"Well..."
Su Mo was also at a loss.
In the past, others had always carried him using Sword Control, but Bai Luoxue obviously didn’t know Sword Control.
Otherwise, she would have used it already.
Seeing that Su Mo didn’t have an answer either, Bai Luoxue seemed to make a great resolve. She took a deep breath and said, "Elder Su, how about I... carry you in my arms while I fly?"
"In your arms?"
Su Mo looked utterly speechless. "Uhm... isn’t that a little inappropriate?"
Bai Luoxue said seriously, "Right now, I only know how to use Flying in the Sky, not Sword Control. I can only fly while holding you, Elder Su. Otherwise, I could carry you on my back."
