Chapter 742: Distant Cry

Underneath them, the Immortal World churned. Sects attacked one another, fended off the gold cultivators, or both. Even in the skies, Immortals exchanged blows and traded massive spells that would have destroyed the fabric of the mortal world back and forth. Dodging the errant paw of a passing enormous qi structure of a dragon, Hui wove his way through the battlefields, ignored by the busy warriors.nove(l)bi(n.)com

The Immortal Realm isnt usually like this. In fact, its the first time in my five loops that its been so chaotic. I wonder what happened? Bai Xue wondered aloud.

Hui cleared his throat. Certainly not a certain buglike cultivator upending the garbage bin back into the Immortal Realm so that all the garbage in the bin came back to life at the start of this time loop. I have no idea, Elder Sister. Its quite strange.

Yes, its certainly odd that the first loop after Song Wei tells me he met my Xiao Hui after many loops with no news, the Immortal world suddenly falls into chaos, Bai Xue said, looking at Hui from the corner of her eyes.

Odd, how odd. Truly an overwhelming coincidence, Hui agreed, nodding along.

Hes lying, Li Xiang said.

Oh, I know that. Im enjoying watching him squirm, Bai Xue said, grinning.

What do you mean? Hui asked, startled. Did I somehow leave my fingerprints on the garbage bin? How does she know?

Bai Xue gave him a look. I know my Hui. If theres chaos and no obvious culprit, I know who did it.

Ah. Ive become too obvious. The next time I create chaos, Ill have to be more careful to set up someone to take the fall, so it isnt sourceless chaos, but instead, seemingly ordinary fully-sourced chaos. Hui nodded. Ill take that into account, Elder Sister.

She shook her head. Give the rest of us a chance, Xiao Hui.

Li Xiang turned about, casually reflecting a misaimed beam of swordlight back toward the cultivator whod shot it. She looked at Bai Xue. Why are you aware of the time loop, while I fall victim to it?

Bai Xue shrugged. I dont know. I dont know why any of us are aware of the loop. I did try to pull you in a few times, but it never seemed to stick. Youd always end up in Heart Lotus City again, the same as you were at the start.

Oh! Maybe its because Elder Sister ascended before me? Hui suggested.

Why would that matter? Bai Xue squinted at him.

None, Hui confirmed.

I can teach you sword techniques, Li Xiang offered.

Hui rubbed the back of his neck. Thank you for your offer, Elder Sister, but er Im not exactly a swordsman

At this level, my techniques are unsuitable for anyone who hasnt cultivated my clans technique, Bai Xue said, shrugging helplessly.

Li Xiang turned her gaze to the battlefield. Her eyes hardened.

Guessing her thoughts a moment before she sprang into action, Hui jumped forward. No, no, Elder Sister, these, these people have all already been defeated by the Golden Immortal, so their abilities are

Li Xiang burst off, leaving Hui and Bai Xue behind.

Hui lowered his hand. He pressed his lips together.

Bai Xue sighed. She shook her head. Its good that shes so straightforward, but shes a little too straightforward at times.

In a moment, Li Xiang returned. Under one arm, she held a cultivator whod been stuffed into a vaguely ball-like shape. She nodded. Quickly.

Behind her, a mob of cultivators in blue charged toward them. Prince!

Hui looked at the cultivators, then at Li Xiang. Uh, Li Xiang, did you steal

Quickly. She flew away.

Hui looked over his shoulder at the charging cultivators in blue, then at the fleeing Li Xiang. Between fighting and fleeing, I know which one I choose! He flew after Li Xiang.

Bai Xue paused one moment longer. She swapped to her male form and swished a fan, exuding a murderous aura as his dark hair flew on the breeze. Shall we tango?

The blue-robed cultivators hesitated half a beat. Spinning the black fan, Bai Xue called up a wall of flame to surround the other cultivators, then flew after Hui and Li Xiang.
