Falling Unconscious

Ancestral Great Master?

Anyone who heard Yun Mingyue's words was immediately shocked. Even from head to toe, Xue Ji didn't look like a great master, much less the ancestral master of this sect. Does that make sense?

However, that is the truth. They couldn't hide the shock and fear on each other's faces. Especially when they saw Xue Ji's cold gaze directed at them.

Again they begged. "Please forgive us all!"

Right now Xue Ji couldn't feel anything but hatred and anger exploding. She raised her hand, emitting an even greater amount of spiritual qi.

Bai Xiu who saw this immediately frowned. In an instant, his figure flashed in front of Xue Ji, then without any warning he hit Xue Ji in the chest.

It wasn't a hard hit. His goal was not to harm Xue Ji, but rather to eliminate all the spiritual power he had previously lent her.

Xue Ji's eyes immediately widened. The spiritual qi in her body just disappeared and she returned to being a weak girl. Naturally, her body slid down from a height in the air.

Bai Xiu immediately caught the little body and pulled it into a hug. The girl's face looked very pale. When they landed on the ground, Xue Ji instantly spat out a few mouthfuls of fresh blood.

The elders couldn't help but sigh. They timidly approached but kept their distance so as not to get too close. Only Yun Mingyue dared to stand near Bai Xiu and Xue Ji.

"Ancestral Great Master…," Yun Mingyue carefully greeted.

Xue Ji felt her body very weak. After all, her current body was only that of a fifteen-year-old girl who had a very low cultivation level. When she received spiritual qi from Bai Xiu and used the Eight Winds Harmony technique forcibly, it had pushed her body's abilities to the limit.

It was like an inadequate container, her body ending up with injuries on the inside. Some of her meridians were damaged. Spitting up blood was an expected consequence. It was fortunate that she didn't destroy her body.

She waved her palm at Yun Mingyue, as a sign that she didn't want to talk about anything for now. After that, she lost consciousness and fainted just like that.

Bai Xiu carried her in both hands. He looked at everyone with deep gazes before finally ending up at Yun Mingyue. "Are we welcome to stay?"

"What kind of bullshit is that? Of course, Young Masters and Great Masters are welcome to stay. Please follow me," Yun Mingyue replied quickly. The wounds on her body weren't so severe that she was still able to serve them well.

Carrying Xue Ji, Bai Xiu followed Yun Mingyue into the sect building area. There are several separate buildings of varying sizes. However, they did not enter those buildings but instead continued to move towards the back of the sect.

Bai Xiu saw that there was a very serene green bamboo garden with a simple residence in the middle. The place was far from the bustle of the sect and seemed very comfortable to live in.

"Our sect is only a small sect. This house is usually used for distinguished guests who rarely come. Luckily, we always clean regularly. There are two separate rooms here. I hope Great Master and Young Master don't mind," Yun Mingyue said shyly.

"It's a trivial thing. I'll check her condition first," Bai Xiu replied.

Yun Mingyue nodded. She opened the door and ushered Bai Xiu in. She didn't come in but just waited outside for fear of being rude.

Inside, Bai Xiu laid Xue Ji's unconscious body on a simple bed. He touched the girl's wrist to feel her pulse. Her pulse felt very chaotic.

He pointed his two fingers which emitted waves of white light at Xue Ji's forehead. He did that for a long time before finally stopping. He checked the girl's pulse again and felt her condition was getting better even though she wasn't awake yet.

Bai Xiu observed Xue Ji for a long time. Various thoughts entered his brain. As for the identity of this fainted girl, in the end, he had the proof of the truth. This girl was the person he was looking for.

She was the one who had left the Gods of the Upper World confused and confused in their quest. She was also the one who overturned the world into chaos.

Who would have thought that the person who in the past made anyone tremble with fear, would now lie unconscious in the body of a very weak girl?

What had happened to her over the past four hundred years? What was that woman doing all this time? How could she hide from the eyes and observations of the Gods? Why did she only appear now?

Bai Xiu couldn't stop thinking about those questions. He was too deep in thought, that without him knowing Xue Ji's eyelashes started to move. It was only when the girl woke up that he realized. However, what happened next was a bit of a surprise.

Xue Ji gripped Bai Xiu's neck tightly. Her gaze was sharp and cold, filled with killing intent. "You already know who I am, don't you?"

Bai Xiu frowned. He held Xue Ji's hand, wanting to let go of the grip, but the girl only strengthened her grip even more.

"What do you mean?" Bai Xiu asked. He coughed a few times but still didn't put up any resistance.

Xue Ji snorted. "Don't pretend you don't know!"

Previously she had already shown everyone that she was a person who knew the ancestor of this sect. So, this man in front of her must also know that she is not the 15-year-old girl she appears to be.

She had suspected Bai Xiu from the start. The man also possessed an unfathomable depth of strength. However, she did not understand one thing. If it was true that Bai Xiu was a God, why would that man help her?

"Why did you help me?" Xue Ji asked without changing her expression.

"You seem to have misunderstood," the man said breathlessly. "It's… not what you think. I just want to use you… for my own benefit, as I said before…."

"I want to do one good deed so that I can leave my place," he continued.

"Nonsense! Do you think I'm so stupid as to believe that?!" Xue Ji growled.

She was about to strengthen her grip on her hand without giving Bai Xiu any leeway. However, suddenly a feeling of tightness and heat spread in her chest. In the next second, she again vomited a mouthful of red blood.

"I will ... kill you …."

After saying that, she fell unconscious again.
