Chapter 544 Your Sister Won't Die
While Xue Lan saw Shang Xun off in the lower realm, Xue Tong finally arrived at the human city under the jurisdiction of the Lingqiao Pavilion in the upper realm.
Lingqiao Pavilion is a legitimate demon clan power, controlled by the Moon Crane clan within the Guiyu clan, so most of the cultivators in this city are also demons.
As Xue Tong sat in a roadside teahouse drinking tea and eating snacks, a girl whose original form was a crane approached her.
The girl was dressed in a colorful feathered dress, with a delicate and bright appearance. The white feathers at the corners of her eyes looked like small fans, and her ponytail was tied high with snow-white feathers hanging down from it.
"My name is He Huan. May I ask how this fellow Daoist is addressed?"
Xue Tong gently raised her eyes to look at her, and the system panel unfolded in her mind.
“Jing Ruhuan, the younger sister of Jing Ruyu.”
Xue Tong couldn't help but laugh.
It really takes no effort at all.
"Tong Zhen." Xue Tong bowed slightly to the girl, his smile as amiable and friendly as Xue Lan's when she was usually fooling people.
“Fellow Daoist Tong Zhen, He Huan has always enjoyed sitting by the window to enjoy the view and sip tea. I wonder if I could sit with you?” Jing Ru Huan blinked her beautiful big eyes, looking exceptionally charming.
"Please."
"Thank you, fellow Daoist." A young girl dressed like a peacock sat opposite Xue Tong, beckoned the waiter to bring several more plates of pastries to the table, and then looked at Xue Tong and said:
"Are you a human cultivator, young lady? There are very few human cultivators in the demon cities these days."
"Why?" Xue Tong asked curiously.
"It's all because of what happened in Beiyuchuan a while ago." Jing Ruhuan deliberately lowered her voice:
"That person personally issued the order to seal the passage between the upper and lower realms. All twenty-four tribes of the Northern Region came out in full force, and many demon cities suffered."
"Human cultivators are afraid of getting into trouble, so they don't dare to wander around the demon cities lately."
"Oh!" Xue Tong feigned sudden realization, the girl squinting at Jing Ruhuan opposite her, her expression deep and somber.
"But that's probably not the reason why Fellow Daoist Jing is personally watching me, is it?"
As soon as he said that, Xue Tong saw the smile on the girl's face vanish in an instant, and the friendly and harmonious atmosphere was shattered in a flash.
It was like a bubble.
Dressed in a colorful feathered robe, Jing Ruhuan looked at Xue Tong, her voice icy:
"It seems that you really didn't come to my Lingqiao Pavilion just for a stroll."
"Fellow Daoist Jing, please don't be too nervous."
Xue Tong smiled calmly, a faint smile playing in her beautiful eyes:
"I just came to visit Lingqiao Pavilion and to meet your sister at someone's request."
Upon hearing that Xue Tong wanted to see her older sister, Jing Ruhuan's eyes instantly became extremely wary.
"My elder sister is busy with the affairs of the pavilion, so I'm afraid you'll have to make this trip for nothing."
"Fellow Daoist, please don't jump to conclusions so quickly."
Xue Tong gently raised her hand and pushed a jade pendant in front of Jing Ruhuan, her voice as open and honest as the wind:
"I have come to see Miss Jing on behalf of my elder sister."
"This is my elder sister's keepsake." Jing Ruhuan stood up abruptly, her gaze towards Xue Tong suddenly becoming clear:
"Are you Miss Xiaotong?"
Xue Tong's expression stiffened slightly: "Your older sister even told you this?"
“My elder sister said Miss Xue also has a younger sister.” Jing Ruyu reached out and grabbed Xue Tong’s sleeve, her eyes filled with fervor.
"Little Tong, please save my elder sister!"
"Save your sister?" Xue Tong was startled.
What happened to your sister?
Jing Ruhuan's eyes were filled with sorrow, and the young girl gave Xue Tong a deep look:
"Please come with me, young lady."
Xue Tong guessed that Jing Ruyu was in trouble, but she didn't expect it to be so serious.
Within layers of white curtains, a woman dressed in white lay quietly on the bed, half of her body covered with terrifying black demonic patterns, making her look extremely ferocious.
"That despicable Ji Ping'an set up a demonic array in the Lingqiao Pavilion many years ago, all to steal my elder sister's cultivation on our wedding day. My elder sister was caught off guard, and demonic runes entangled her demonic body, while demonic energy invaded her demonic core..."
Jing Ruhuan's tone was full of resentment, and her voice even became a little hoarse towards the end.
"The demons have always been vicious."
Xue Tong slowly stepped forward and looked at the sleeping Jing Ruyu, thinking to herself that this was the reason why there had been no news from Jing Ruyu for so long.
The girl slowly raised her hand, wanting to touch the magic markings on Jing Ruyu's arm, but was stopped by Jing Ruhuan.
"Little Tong!"
The girl grabbed Xue Tong's arm: "This magic rune will entangle everyone who tries to approach it."
Xue Tong slowly withdrew her hand: "How do you want me to save her?"
Jing Ruhuan frowned deeply, and after a long while, she slowly spoke:
"I was out of my mind. Grandpa said that this demonic rune can only be dispelled by the sword energy of a fifteenth-realm sword immortal."
"I was desperate and would try anything."
The girl's back slowly hunched over, and Jing Ruhuan covered her eyes in anguish:
"But the leader of the Golden Jade Alliance, who is on good terms with my Lingqiao Pavilion, was seriously injured in the Northern Region River not long ago. And the Lin family's patriarch is unwilling to take action..."
"I really……"
"Aren't you planning to ask that person for help?" Xue Tong suddenly asked.
"Go and beg that Wolf King of the Northern Region."
With tears welling in her eyes, Jing Ruhuan looked at Xue Tong in disbelief, then gave a sorrowful smile and spoke:
"Why would that person take action for a mere junior?"
"How do you know she can't do it if you haven't even tried?" Xue Tong's voice was firm and resolute, with a hint of anger in her tone.
"You haven't even met her in person, yet you're already labeling her as someone who doesn't care about the lives of others?"
Jing Ruhuan was stunned. She stared at the girl from the lower realm in front of her, as if she had been struck by a heavy blow.
Yes, she has never even met that person, so why are you so sure she won't make a move?
"I'll go find Grandpa right now and head to the Northern Region!"
"etc !"
The girl pointed to Jing Ruyu on the bed: "She doesn't have time."
Jing Ruhuan looked at the woman's pale face on the bed and felt heartbroken.
"It's alright." Xue Tong gently patted the girl's arm. "I have a way."
She still carried the protective sword intent left by Xue Lan.
The girl looked at the hideous demonic markings on Jing Ruyu's face and recalled the hellish scene at Lingqiao Pavilion in the original story:
"Your sister will not die. She will live with her family and become the one and only Pavilion Master of Lingqiao Pavilion."
After speaking, the girl made a sword-like gesture with her right hand, slowly touched her brow, and then pulled it outwards.
A dazzling, icy blue sword light was drawn out from between Xue Tong's brows, carrying immeasurable chill, instantly coating the pavilion with a layer of snow-white frost.
Xue Tong pointed her sword at the demonic runes on Jing Ruyu's body, her body surrounded by a pale blue light, her hairband and skirt swaying in the biting cold wind.
The girl's cold face overlapped with Xue Lan's; she gently lowered her sword finger, her voice cold and solemn:
"cut!"
