Chapter 583: Peak Young Master Form

The scent of salt assaulted his nose. In his arms, Bai Xue stirred, half-waking. Clumsily, she wiped her face and blinked, squinting at the harsh sun.

They hovered over the waves. Below them, the sea crashed against uncaring walls of dark gray granite, painting the rock darker with each pass. Sea foam burst upward where the water met stone, spraying white mist high into the sky.

Where are we? she muttered blearily.

Ah good morning, Hui said, looking out further into the sea, where the mountains slowly dipped into the ocean, becoming islands, then atolls, then nothing at all but bleak grey-blue waves churning endlessly in the deep. Weve reached the ocean border of the Southern Sect Conference.

Oh, Bai Xue said. She cuddled slightly up to Hui, unwilling to break free of his embrace quite yet. Mmm. Its nice here.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

It is, Hui agreed. Its just theres a small problem.

He turned around, facing the land instead. You, will you reveal yourself?

The sky shimmered. Behind him, Fei Guren appeared, that disciple of the Eight Tiers Palaces fourth tier. She pinched an incense stick between her two blue nails, the stick so utterly black it seemed to soak in the bright sun around it, casting heavy shadows over her hand and wrist. How did you know I was here?

Hui rubbed his nose and looked aside, letting out a light laugh. Ah, Elder Sister, would you believe me that I guessed?

In this case, its lying. I saw her with my third eye. Compared to the reapers, do you think you could hide from me, when were all on the same side of this strange technique? But well, its excusable to lie in this case. One shouldnt reveal all their cards to the enemy!

Its fortunate Li Xiang isnt here.

How did you counter my technique? she asked, narrowing her eyes at Hui. This is sixth-realm karmic incense, able to temporarily erase karmic bonds between people as long as its lit. Even if theyre your children, you shouldnt be able to remember them!

Bai Xue laughed. She stood upright, looking down at Fei Guren, and held out the yin-yang ornament at her hip. My mother has long reached the peak of sixth realm. Shes the one who created this bonding ornament. To think so little of the Bai Clan, tsk, tsk.

Er, Elder Sister, I was a reaper at the time Hui murmured, mostly to himself.

Bai Xues eyes flashed. She stared at him. You were a what?

Fei Guren squinted. Youre dead. That isnt possible.

If you knew him, this wouldnt come as a surprise at all, Bai Xue said, shaking her head at Fei Guren.

Hes hes really Weiheng Hui? Is this some kind of fake? A clone? Fei Guren asked. She exerted her pressure, taking in Hui from a distance.

Hui gently rebuffed it.

After a moment, Fei Guren harrumphed. Whether he is or isnt, what does it matter? A lowly fifth-realm cultivator

Ah, are you sure about that? Bai Xue asked playfully.

Hui cleared his throat. Er, to interrupt

Please, go on, Bai Xue said, gesturing.

Nodding, Hui gestured to Fei Guren. Lowly one is also Li Xiangs husband as well. In that case, Elder Sister, think. You kidnapped two children, from two mothers. But only one of them is here.

Fei Guren squinted. So what? Theres still countless illusions and incense spells to fend her off.

Li Xiang surely you know about her unique constitution? Even I was tricked by this split of yours, but she saw through it. Do you think an illusion or incense will stop her? Hui asked, tilting his head.

Fei Guren laughed. Shes still a mere sixth

In the distance, an incredible explosion rattled the earth. Dust clouded up to the heavens, and the peak of one of the border mountains began to slide down into the Southern Sect Conference.

Hui smiled politely at Fei Guren and cupped his hands to her. Excuse us, Elder Sister. I believe thats our cue.

Taking Bai Xue, he flew past Fei Guren. Batting her fan the whole way, Bai Xue looked down on the befuddled girl and let out a single laugh as she passed.

At that, Fei Guren whipped around. You wont get away from me! She waved her sleeve, and a silver chain-dagger tipped in hideous purple poison darted toward Huis back.
