This was also a scheme by Yu Ping'an, the senior brother of the Feng Ling Sect. Although he chose to collaborate with Ye Tang to force Bai Feng out, he had no intention of letting Ye Tang off the hook.

While both the Feng Ling Sect and the Tian Jian Sect were righteous sects, they were also rivals. Especially since the Tian Jian Sect had stood at the pinnacle of the Northern Region for too long, they would naturally seize any opportunity to strike at it.

By using ordinary disciples to publicize Ye Tang's actions, they could directly undermine Ye Tang, the former senior brother of the Tian Jian Sect, making it impossible for him to stand within the sect, and expulsion was not out of the question.

After the disciples of the Feng Ling Sect swore allegiance to the Dao, the members of the Tian Jian Sect, filled with anger, found themselves at a loss.

They never expected that their former senior brother would turn out to be such a person.

“Let’s go find the others first.”

Bai Yu Mo struggled to suppress the anger boiling within her. More than the Feng Ling Sect, she was concerned about Bai Feng’s safety.

At that moment, Yu Ping'an, the senior brother of the Feng Ling Sect, emerged from the formation. He was already seething with rage after being toyed with by Bai Feng, and now seeing the Tian Jian Sect members so arrogant, he could no longer contain himself and shouted, “You think you can just walk away after bullying our disciples?”

Ding!!

Yu Ping'an suddenly stopped in his tracks, his pupils constricting in an instant.

He turned his stiff neck and saw a short sword embedded in the tree behind him, the blade having barely grazed his face, with a few strands of his black hair floating in the air before slowly falling.

“Say one more word, and the next time this sword will pierce your skull.”

Bai Yu Mo slightly turned her head, her expression blank, her eyes devoid of emotion.

Yu Ping'an swallowed hard; it was the first time he felt death was so close.

These lunatics! Everyone from the Tian Jian Sect is completely insane!

……

“The person has already left.”

“There are signs of a struggle here; it looks like the battle was quite intense.”

“There are two demon beasts here, but both have had their heads chopped off by a single sword.”

“It seems they must have left in peace.”

“Based on the traces they left, they should have gone in this direction.”

Several disciples examined the traces on the ground, which were special marks left by Yu Yao and the others before they departed, meant for the other disciples of the Tian Jian Sect.

Bai Yu Mo stood at the cave entrance, her fingers turning white from gripping tightly.

Was she too late?

They had made a promise to protect him.

Had they become too complacent due to their comfortable lives?

I’m so useless…

Bai Yu Mo averted her gaze, lowered her head, and quickly followed the traces left by Yu Yao and the others.

She still held onto a glimmer of hope.

She desperately wished that ahead on the path, Bai Feng would be standing there waiting for her.

Not long after Bai Yu Mo left, a figure appeared in the woods behind the disciples of the Tian Jian Sect.

“Hmph~ You were hard to find! Finally, I get to see you again, Bai Feng~”

Meanwhile.

Bai Feng: “?”

What’s going on? Bai Yu Mo has come looking for me?

And it seems she’s clashed with the Feng Ling Sect?

What does that have to do with me? I don’t have any schemes!

However, after going through so much, he had started to get used to the system trying to shove luck points his way, and he was even a bit curious about what excuse the system would come up with next.

‘Since Bai Yu Mo has already encountered the disciples of the Feng Ling Sect, it means they must have heard the news and come looking for him. Should I find an excuse to rest a bit and wait for Bai Yu Mo to arrive?’

As Bai Feng pondered, a small dot suddenly appeared in the distance.

Then, the dot rapidly enlarged, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a figure rushing towards him at breakneck speed.

Bai Feng sensed a violent surge of spiritual energy behind him and instinctively tightened his grip on the bamboo sword, turning to look back, only to see a blurry yet familiar face lunging at him.

“Brother!!”

Before the voice even reached him, the figure had already pounced.

Fortunately, Bai Yu Mo didn’t lose her composure in her excitement; she managed to reduce her momentum mid-air, avoiding sending Bai Feng flying.

However, even though she successfully softened her landing, she didn’t stop there and directly threw herself onto Bai Feng.

“Brother, you’re not hurt, are you? Why didn’t you come find me after all this happened?”

She clutched at Bai Feng’s clothes, her head slowly lifting, her tone a mix of reproach and concern.

“It’s you, Yu Mo!”

Bai Feng reached out to pat her head, signaling her to get off him quickly; others were still watching!

Bai Yu Mo didn’t budge, instead staring intently into his slightly grayish eyes. She instinctively reached out to touch the area around his eyes: “Brother, your eyes…?”

“Just overexertion; they’ll recover in a few days. Right now, I just can’t see things clearly,” Bai Feng waved his hand dismissively, not concerned about it.

“Is it Ye Tang?” Bai Yu Mo’s voice turned cold as she gripped the imitation Tian Jian in her hand. “Where is he?”

Bai Feng glanced around discreetly, and sure enough, when the other disciples heard Ye Tang’s name, their previously averted gazes all turned towards him.

Forget it; since Bai Yu Mo was asking, it meant she was already aware of Ye Tang’s collaboration with the Feng Ling Sect.

“He’s dead.” He shook his head and spoke softly.

But Bai Yu Mo didn’t feel relieved. Although Bai Feng’s words were simple, she had seen the battlefield where the two had fought; it had undoubtedly been a grueling battle, and he had even sacrificed his eyesight as a price.

She bit her lip, lowering her head to speak softly, “I’m sorry. We had made a promise, and it’s all because of me…”

After being filled with luck points by Bai Yu Mo multiple times, Bai Feng instantly became alert. He put away his expression, his voice flat yet carrying a hint of seriousness:

“Bai Yu Mo.”

When her name was called out completely by Bai Feng, she jolted and looked up, only to see his hands on her face.

“Brother… Brother?”

Bai Yu Mo’s face flushed slightly—wasn’t this action a bit too intimate?

But Bai Feng didn’t give her time to overthink. His face held a hint of anger as he pinched her small face, squeezing it hard: “Can you save me some trouble and stop crying here? Is this your fault? Hmm? Or do you want me to scold you?”

“Um… I’m sorry…”

**Chapter 64: You Are Not Bai Yu Mo, Who Are You Really?**

“Um… I’m sorry…”

In response to Bai Yu Mo’s apology, Bai Feng didn’t stop; he continued to ‘torture’ her little face.

At the same time, he felt that Bai Yu Mo’s emotions were a bit too unstable. If she were to be triggered, she might end up like Su Lan Qian, giving birth to inner demons.

He guessed that Bai Yu Mo was still affected by the events of the past few years. Not only did she feel indebted, but from her almost servile behavior, it was likely she was worried that he would distance himself from her due to those past experiences.

He had to find a way to correct this flaw of hers.

Meanwhile, Su Lan Qian watched this scene, instinctively reaching up to touch her own face.

If it were her being pinched…

No, no, no, what am I thinking? Right, I just think that if someone were to pinch me like that, it should keep the inner demons at bay for several days.

Bai Feng didn’t notice Su Lan Qian’s sudden shyness. After a while of squeezing, he finally released Bai Yu Mo’s now reddened little face, exhaling deeply, feeling a sense of relief.

He opened the system to take a look, and the system hadn’t given him any luck points.

This meant he had successfully prevented the system from shoving luck points at him.

Finally, he had won against the system for once!

“Um, sorry to interrupt your sibling bonding, but could you tell me what’s going on with Ye Tang?”

At that moment, Yu Yao could no longer contain her curiosity and walked over to Bai Feng and Bai Yu Mo.

Bai Feng turned to glance at Bai Yu Mo, and just as he was pondering who should speak first, the Tian Jian Sect disciples who had fallen behind Bai Yu Mo finally caught up.

“Great! Bai Shixiong is safe!”

“Where’s Ye Tang? Isn’t that guy with the group?”

“How dare he attack his fellow disciples and collaborate with the Feng Ling Sect to force Bai Shixiong out! He must be brought to the Law Hall for punishment!”

“He should be expelled from the sect! Such a person doesn’t deserve to stay in the Tian Jian Sect!”

Hearing the indignant voices of the disciples, Yu Yao finally understood what had happened, and a spark of anger ignited within her.

Their group had been set up by Ye Tang.

It was important to note that those disciples who had been trapped had nearly lost their lives at the hands of those two Yuanying stage demon beasts. If she hadn’t braved injury to withstand the impact of the Yuanying stage beasts, several weaker disciples might not have made it back.

“Don’t let me find out you’re… wait a minute.”
