Chapter 49: Could this be White Lass's lover?

Chapter 49: The White-Haired Girl's Lover?

"Dead?"

The Master of the White Bone Temple was slightly stunned. In the entire Northern State, who could possibly kill his disciple who was at the peak of the tenth level of the Divine Void Realm?

Throughout his life, he had two proud disciples who possessed extremely high talent in cultivating the White Bone Divine Art. They had surpassed their master, with cultivation levels chasing closely after his own.

Had he not broken through to the Void Spirit Realm in advance, he would have soon been overshadowed by his disciples.

"Master of the Temple, it was someone from the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Elder He wept uncontrollably, his face covered in tears and snot as he accused, "That person used the power of an array formation to kill the White Bone Demonic Patriarch."

Whoosh!

With a wave of his large sleeve, the White Bone Temple Master gritted his teeth and said coldly, "Very well, this temple master will head to the Azure Cloud Sect right now and exterminate their entire sect!"

Now that he was a Void Spirit Realm expert, his cultivation level made him a nearly invincible existence across the entire Northern State. How could he possibly take a tiny Azure Cloud Sect seriously?

He would simply wipe them out!

"Master of the Temple, there is no need to go to the Azure Cloud Sect!" Elder He hurriedly blocked him and said, "The murderer was brought back to the White Bone Temple by the mistress!"

Upon hearing this, the White Bone Temple Master's expression brightened with pleasure, and he nodded, "Hmm... The white-haired girl has done well."

Black lines of frustration surfaced all over Elder He's forehead.

The temple master had been too eager for revenge and acted too impulsively, leaving him no opportunity to explain the whole story clearly.

"Master of the Temple, the murderer is the mistress's old lover! I saw the mistress acting all lovey-dovey with him, with zero intention of killing him!"

Taking a deep breath, Elder He blurted out the reason in one go.

What?

The white-haired girl's lover?

Not only did this girl refuse to kill the murderer, but she was actually acting intimately and talking sweet nothings with her old lover right here in the White Bone Temple? What kind of decency was this?

In an instant.

The anger in the White Bone Temple Master's heart ignited violently. He grabbed Elder He and vanished from the spot.

A moment later, the two of them descended above the White Bone Temple.

"Aaargh, this is driving this old man to fury!"

Upon seeing his beloved disciple being held in the embrace of a handsome man, the White Bone Temple Master was so enraged that smoke billowed from his seven orifices and his nose twisted in fury.

Seeing this, Elder He felt a surge of joy in his heart and whispered, "Master of the Temple, you must kill him and avenge the White Bone Demonic Patriarch!"

With a gloomy face, the White Bone Temple Master landed in the plaza.

When Bai Jing'er saw her master and Elder He arrive, she was startled and hurriedly pulled herself out of Chen Ping'an's embrace.

"White-haired girl, shouldn't you say something to your master?"

The White Bone Temple Master sneered, his gaze piercing and aggressive.

"Master, thank you for your grace in nurturing me all these years. Jing'er has sinned and is willing to accept punishment."

Bai Jing'er knelt on the ground, her expression mournful.

Although the White Bone Temple Master was seen as ruthless by outsiders, he had been quite merciful to her as his disciple, pouring numerous resources into her training over the years; otherwise, she could not have advanced so rapidly.

She deeply loved Brother Bao, so naturally, she could not bring herself to strike, yet she had no face to confront her master.

"This silly girl, she is just like she was back then..."

Chen Ping'an sighed, feeling that this was the right time to open the gift package and try his luck.

"System, open the grand gift package."

"Ding! Task grand gift package opened!"

"Reward 1: Three Resurrection Cards."

"Reward 2: Three Void Spirit Realm Experience Cards. Note: Upon activation, the host gains the cultivation of the peak tenth level of the Void Spirit Realm, lasting for twelve hours."

"Reward 3: Three Ordinary Vajra Shield Defense Cards."

"Reward 4: Ten thousand Top-Grade Blood Qi Pills."

"Reward 5: One Six-Paths Realm Gate Experience Card. Note: One of the seven immortal treasures of the Xuantian Realm, known as the strongest spatial treasure in the world. Once activated, you can travel to any place within one hour."

Seeing these rewards, Chen Ping'an felt a surge of joy.

This time, the system had actually given him three Void Spirit Realm Experience Cards, which perfectly relieved his current crisis.

Otherwise, using a Transcendent Realm Experience Card to deal with a mere first-level Void Spirit Realm White Bone Temple Master would truly be like using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot a mosquito—massive overkill.

"And the Six-Paths Realm Gate Experience Card, isn't that too OP?"

Gazing at Reward 5, Chen Ping'an's heart bloomed with joy. True to its reputation as the strongest spatial treasure in the Xuantian Realm, this Six-Paths Realm Gate could reach anywhere instantly.

With this for escaping, even a Great Emperor wouldn't be able to catch him!

"System, no Good Person Card? Bad review!" Chen Ping'an suddenly complained inwardly.

Such a useful Good Person Card, and the system didn't even reward him with one.

System: "..."

...

In the plaza.

The White Bone Temple Master slowly walked up to Bai Jing'er, raised his hand, his body trembling, but he couldn't bring himself to strike.

One beloved disciple had already died; if he were to kill this beloved disciple as well, what would he have left in this life?

Elder He also saw through the intricacies of the situation and hurriedly offered a way out: "Master of the Temple, the mistress is innocent! The true culprit is this pretty boy. I beg the temple master to kill him!"

"That's right, how could my disciple be wrong?"

The White Bone Temple Master smiled sinisterly, looked at Chen Ping'an, and remarked with a chuckle, "This pretty boy doesn't look bad at all. No wonder he seduced my disciple out of her wits..."

Chen Ping'an smiled faintly.

Bai Jing'er suddenly hugged one of the White Bone Temple Master's legs and said with bitter determination, "Master, if you kill Brother Bao, I won't live either!"

"Good disciple, haha!"

With a single strike of his palm, the White Bone Temple Master instantly knocked Bai Jing'er unconscious.

Seeing Bai Jing'er faint, Elder He felt reassured in his old heart and laughed loudly, "Master of the Temple, you don't even need to dirty your hands; I will kill this pretty boy myself!"

The White Bone Temple Master nodded.

In his view, this youth at the Golden Body Realm was simply too weak.

"Go to hell!"

With a ferocious grin toward Chen Ping'an, Elder He lashed out with a palm strike.

Chen Ping'an activated the Void Spirit Realm Experience Card, instantly elevating his cultivation to the peak of the tenth level of the Void Spirit Realm.

He gently raised a single finger.

Puff!

A bloody hole was blasted through Elder He's palm.

"Little fellow, time and again you try to sow discord, did you think I would spare you?"

Chen Ping'an sneered.

Puff! With a flick of his finger, a blast of wind struck Elder He's body, instantly blowing him apart into a mist of blood.

Void Spirit Realm?

Peak tenth level?

Witnessing Elder He being killed by this youth in the blink of an eye, and feeling the boundary aura emanating from Chen Ping'an, the White Bone Temple Master began to tremble all over.

The opponent was actually at the peak of the tenth level of the Void Spirit Realm! That mighty aura pressed down like ocean waves, actually giving him a sense of suffocation!

Chen Ping'an pressed his palm downward in the air.

Puff!

The White Bone Temple Master instantly dropped to his knees, despair and unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

After enduring countless hardships to finally break through to the Void Spirit Realm, not even the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, he was about to be killed by someone.

How could he possibly reconcile himself to this?

"Senior..."

The White Bone Temple Master said in a trembling voice, his body slowly bowing to the ground. At this moment, he had conceded defeat.

"Calling me senior, you aren't getting the short end of the stick. Speaking of age, I am much older than you."

Chen Ping'an stood with his hands behind his back, walking over slowly with a smiling expression.

In this world, those older than him were exceedingly rare. Many people who looked aged and ancient were actually just little brats in his eyes.

Seeing that Chen Ping'an had not killed him yet, a spark of hope arose in the White Bone Temple Master's heart. He kowtowed and said, "Senior, I was wrong."

"If you want to keep your life, swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao," Chen Ping'an said calmly.

Considering that Bai Jing'er had been well cared for by the White Bone Temple Master for all these years, he did not intend to take his life.

Elder He, the one who sowed discord, had already received his punishment.

That was enough.

The White Bone Temple Master straightened his upper body, slowly raised one hand, and after pondering the relationship between his disciple and this person, he instantly understood what to do. With a solemn expression, he said, "Heaven and earth as my witness, from this moment on, the position of White Bone Temple Master shall be held by Bai Jing'er. I will retire behind the scenes to fully assist the new temple master. If I harbor any double intentions or dare to show disrespect to Bai Jing'er, I am willing to accept the punishment of the Heavenly Dao..."

"Good."

Chen Ping'an nodded.

One could not easily swear oaths within the Xuantian Realm. Once broken, the oath would lead to merciless obliteration by the Heavenly Dao.
