Chapter 234: Chapter 13: Xiao White Fox (13)

The one who can become the Demon Race Saintess, Bai Lianxin, is still quite ruthless.

Liu Ruyan is having an affair, she’s too delighted, losing a rival in love.

However, she knows Tao Hui wants to become the Sect Leader, and once Zhang Yixuan is dead, a new Sect Leader will naturally be chosen.

So, she’ll just kill Zhang Yixuan.

Bai Lianxin waited quietly.

The Demon Clan has a Cultivation Technique that can conceal one’s presence, so naturally, the people inside the cave abode didn’t notice there was someone watching them from outside.

These people were indeed here to congratulate Zhang Yixuan, and after some brief pleasantries, Zhang Yixuan sent them all away.

Honestly, he’s a bit troubled, in terms of strength, he’s inferior to Li Shuning, in handling affairs, he’s also inferior to some of the other more experienced elders in the sect.

Taking on the role of Sect Leader is a tremendous pressure for him.

But since Li Shuning doesn’t want to be one, should he let Tao Hui take it?

After Zhang Yixuan returned, he prepared to cultivate.

He didn’t know, while he was outside seeing off guests, something had already been brought into the cave abode.

At this moment, as Zhang Yixuan cultivated, it played right into Bai Lianxin’s hands.

Before long, Zhang Yixuan felt weak all over as if something was wrong.

He opened his eyes, but his vision was blurred, the only thing he could see seemed to be a person in red standing there.

When Zhang Yixuan was seeing off the guests, Bai Lianxin sneaked into the cave abode.

Otherwise, once Zhang Yixuan returned and set up the restrictions again, she wouldn’t have been able to get in.

After entering the cave abode, she took out the Demon Clan’s Invisible Powder and released it inside.

The Invisible Powder, odorless and formless, can make people unwittingly fall victim to it.

Seeing the man collapsed on the ground, Bai Lianxin took out a small curved dagger, the blade glinted slightly with a dark hue, obviously laced with poison, and this poison specifically affects cultivators.

If struck critically, the poison would permeate the body, and even if rescued by a Mahayana Cultivator, he would ultimately become a cripple.

Bai Lianxin did not wish for this man to die too easily.

For making Brother Hui suffer so much, how could she let him off easily?

Bai Lianxin sneered coldly, then quickly drove the dagger towards Zhang Yixuan’s right hand.

With a “ding”, the curved dagger seemed to hit something, startling Bai Lianxin, causing her to retreat hastily, but with the restrictions now open, it wasn’t so easy for her to leave.

Li Shuning, however, sheathed her sword and said with a smile: “The Demon Race Saintess, what a rare guest.”

Bai Lianxin felt her heart was about to leap out, how did she know she was the Demon Race Saintess?

With a flick of her hand, a breeze carrying a faint fragrance swept over, causing the Zhang Yixuan on the ground to open his eyes.

He was startled when he saw Li Shuning and Bai Lianxin. Hadn’t he activated the restrictions on the cave abode? How come there were two women inside?

“Senior Sister, what’s happening? How did this woman get here? Isn’t she Junior Brother Tao’s concubine?”

“Junior Brother, this woman is quite extraordinary; she’s the Demon Race Saintess and Tao Hui’s concubine? I wonder what the relationship between Tao Hui and the Demon Clan is?”

Startling Zhang Yixuan, the Demon Race Saintess?

“Senior Sister, this…”

Li Shuning glanced at Zhang Yixuan: “When I was out training back in the day, I had visited the Demon Clan, and had witnessed the grace of the Demon Race Saintess.”

“Today, seeing this demoness creeping towards you, I felt something was wrong and followed along. Never expected that Junior Brother almost died at her hands.”

Zhang Yixuan was startled, about to ask for details when Li Shuning straightforwardly said: “Junior Brother, open the restrictions, please.”

Zhang Yixuan trusted Li Shuning immensely, so once she said so, Zhang Yixuan directly opened the restrictions.

Just as Bai Lianxin wanted to escape, she saw Wine Immortal leading the way outside, followed by several elders, even the current Sect Leader was among them, she couldn’t take on any of them.

Although Zhang Yixuan has already been designated the next Sect Leader, as the handover ceremony hasn’t been held yet, the current Sect Leader is still Master Liu.

“My good disciple, what have you called us here for?”

Li Shuning stepped forward, bowed to the senior members of the sect: “Master, someone attempted to harm our soon-to-be Sect Leader, I witnessed it, naturally, I must inform you and the seniors.”

Li Shuning recounted the whole story, and only then did Zhang Yixuan realize how Bai Lianxin had entered the cave abode, inwardly blaming himself for being too careless.

When everyone learned that Bai Lianxin was actually the Demon Race Saintess, they found it unbelievable as this woman had been following Tao Hui in the sect for some time, so what was her purpose in coming to the Qingyun Sect?

The Sect Leader was livid: “Someone, fetch Tao Hui and Liu Ruyan.”

Soon after, Tao Hui and Liu Ruyan arrived.

Seeing Bai Lianxin there too, Tao Hui had a bad feeling.

The Sect Leader suddenly roared: “Monstrosities, kneel!”

Tao Hui and Liu Ruyan were startled, but under the Sect Leader’s gaze, they still knelt down.

“Tao Hui, tell me, what is this woman’s identity, and how did you two meet?”

Tao Hui was inwardly grumbling; he didn’t know what the Sect Leader meant by this question. Could it be that Lianxin’s identity had been exposed?

No, that’s impossible, Lianxin can’t have exposed her identity; in the Demon Clan, Lianxin’s identity is top-secret, outsiders couldn’t have seen her.

He spent a lot of effort to bring Lianxin back.

So, does this mean they are framing him?

“Sect Leader, disciple encountered Lianxin while training outside, Lianxin once saved my life. Lianxin’s family was harmed by others, leaving her, a weak woman, with nowhere to go, so the disciple brought her back to the sect.”

However, Li Shuning suddenly laughed: “Junior Brother Tao is quite skilled at storytelling, a weak woman? If the Demon Race Saintess is considered a weak woman, the Demon Clan would’ve been eradicated long ago.”

Tao Hui was startled, his complexion changed, yet he still forced himself to argue: “Senior Sister Li, Junior Brother doesn’t know what you are talking about, Lianxin is just an ordinary woman, how could she possibly be the Demon Race Saintess, and since coming to the Qingyun Sect, she has never harmed anyone.”

“Oh, is that so? Then who was responsible for Junior Sister Liu suddenly falling unconscious before?”

“Ruyan’s collapse was due to a lapse in concentration during cultivation, but she’s fine now. Junior Brother and Senior Sister Li have no grievances; why would you want to harm me like this? For what reason would you want to impose the identity of Demon Race Saintess on my concubine? If Junior Brother has done something wrong, Senior Sister, please say so directly, why do it this way?”

Li Shuning smiled, this man, sure knew how to speak well.

“Junior Brother, Senior Sister has no grievances against you, but if, as you say, she is just an ordinary woman, how did she manage to stupefy Junior Brother Zhang, nearly claiming his life? If not for me, Junior Brother Zhang might have been lying dead in his cave abode, and by then, our Qingyun Sect would have lost its next Sect Leader. Then, who would become the new Sect Leader?”

“Senior Sister, what are you talking about, I don’t understand.”

Tao Hui was feeling uneasy, knowing Bai Lianxin well; this foolish woman wouldn’t actually be trying to kill Zhang Yixuan so that he could become the Sect Leader, would she?
