An Understated Dominance

Below, in the Black Wind Swamp. Bai Qingxue suppressed the urge to turn back and provide support, pushing her speed to the limit as she plunged into this treacherous land shrouded year-round in gray-black poisonous miasma. The moment she entered the swamp, her vision and spiritual sense were severely limited. The air reeked of decay and deadly toxins, the ground beneath her feet was soft and dangerous mire, and occasionally eerie black shadows flickered beneath the murky water's surface. She dared not linger. Following a vague sense of direction from memory, she flew toward the swamp's depths—toward the core region where, according to rumors, the magnetic disturbance was most chaotic. Little Snow followed closely at her side, nimbly avoiding puddles and hidden dangers. She could feel the violent spiritual energy fluctuations from the distant sky behind her, along with Yu Chenzi's undisguised, frenzied killing intent. She could also feel Aunt Bai Wei and the others' aura...

After leaving the valley, Bai Qingxue, Bai W ei, and the others didn't dare pause for even a moment, racing westward at top speed. Bai Wei was experienced and chose mostly desolate paths with complex terrain, chaotic spiritual energy, and conditions favorable for concealing their trail. "Qingxue, how are your injuries?" Bai Wei asked with concern while flying, simultaneously keeping a wary eye on what lay behind them. "I've taken pills; they're stabilized for now." Bai Qingxue's complexion was still pale, but her gaze was resolute. "It's just that my spiritual energy is recovering slowly. That Yuxia's purple lightning power was troublesome, and the cold poison still flares up occasionally." Bai Wei nodded, her expression grave: "That Yuxia surely sent a message to her husband Yu Chenzi before she died. I've heard of this  Yu Chenzi —he's considered outstanding among the younger generation of the Zixiao Yu Family, with c...

The sinister man saw the situation turning dire and turned to flee, but two Bai family members caught up to him. Sword light flashed, and his head separated from his body. In the blink of an eye, only Immortal Lady Yuxia remained from her side, grievously wounded and collapsed on the ground. Baiwei approached with sword in hand, the blade tip pointing at Immortal Lady Yuxia's throat. The other four Bai family members surrounded her, sealing off all escape routes. Bai Qingxue also walked over, coldly regarding the mastermind behind the Wang family's extermination. Immortal Lady Yuxia's hair was disheveled, her body covered in blood. Gone was her earlier arrogance; her eyes now held only fear and unwillingness. "You... you dare kill me? My husband is Yu Chenzi! The  Zixiao Yu Family  won't let you go! The Seventh Elder will be here any time! You're all going to die!" Bai Qingxue walked up to her, looking down with not a trace of pity in her eyes—only icy kil...

"Wench! All you do is hide and skulk!" Immortal Lady Yuxia was hopping mad, directing her guards to attack fiercely toward wherever Bai Qingxue's aura appeared. Bai Qingxue fought while retreating, seemingly forced deeper and deeper into the valley. In reality, she was leading Yuxia and her group into the formation's depths—her pre-planned... encirclement. Just as Immortal Lady Yuxia, having attacked for so long without success, grew frustrated and prepared to expend more power using stronger magical treasures to break the formation, a sudden change occurred! On the cliff faces on both sides of the valley, several spiritual lights suddenly blazed! Immediately after, five figures swooped down, landing in an area where the formation's mist was relatively thin, vaguely forming a counter-encirclement around Immortal Lady Yuxia's group of four! These five all wore white robes with faint cloud patterns embroidered on their cuffs—three men and two women, all with cul...

 "But Bai Qingxue's strength is considerable. Yesterday she managed to wound you, Immortal Lady. Though you were caught off guard, her Frost Ice Technique is truly formidable. The four of us..." The guard still had reservations. "What is there to fear!" Immortal Lady Yuxia said impatiently. "She's already badly injured—her strength is greatly diminished. With the four of us working together, and my Purple Lightning Pearl in hand, we can't take down one wounded woman? Besides, my husband knows I'm handling matters here. If there's any real danger, the protective talisman he left me will activate, and he'll sense it and come." At the mention of her husband, a trace of pride and dependence flashed in Immortal Lady Yuxia's eyes. Her husband, Yu Chenzi, held a high position among the younger generation of the  Zixiao Yu Family . His cultivation had already reached early Golden Core stage, and he doted on her considerably. Seeing that...

After leaving the ruins of the Wang residence, Bai Qingxue did not flee far. She took Little Snow to a secure cave in the barren mountains on the outskirts of Stonia, set up a simple concealment formation, and began to plan. "Yuxia is vindictive by nature. The Wang family massacre must have made her feel she's vented her anger." Bai Qingxue sat cross-legged, a cold gleam flickering in her eyes. "But she definitely won't stop there. I must eliminate this threat." Little Snow lay by her knee, looking up at her and letting out a soft cry. Bai Qingxue stroked her head: "You think we should fight back too, don't you? Hiding isn't a solution. Besides..." The image of that charred ruin appeared before her eyes again. “Those innocent people cannot have died in vain.” She took out the jade which Dustin had given her, rubbing the smooth jade surface thoughtfully. This man Dustin, though he had lost all his cultivation, possessed excellent medical ski...
