#78 - Chapter 78: Dark Night is also the Emperor's Home Ground

Moonlight Forest.

Lin Yaoyao held her spiritual sword, cautiously surveying her surroundings.

Whoosh…

A sharp arrow pierced through the void.

Lin Yaoyao dodged to the side, the arrow embedding itself in an ancient, towering tree.

“Little Bai, wake up, there’s danger!” Lin Yaoyao reminded the prone Little Bai.

“Senior Sister, you’re not planning to use me as bait again, are you!” Little Bai expressed some concern, fearing his Senior Sister would use him as a lure.

“If you hadn’t mentioned it, I wouldn’t have even thought about using you as bait. But since you brought it up, you can continue being the bait while I, your Senior Sister, slay the enemy!” Lin Yaoyao said, turning to stare at Little Bai.

Hearing his Senior Sister’s words, Little Bai really wanted to get up and beat her, but considering he couldn’t win against her, he decided against it.

Guess I’ll be bait then.

“Hehe, the night is our Demon Sect’s domain!”

“Committing crimes in the dark, no one will know. This pretty little lass, I won’t stand on ceremony.” In the darkness, several sinister laughter echoed.

Clearly, they were targeting Lin Yaoyao.

As for whether they were truly from the Demon Sect, it was impossible to tell.

After all, in the darkness, no one could clearly see anyone.

Lin Yaoyao also extinguished her spiritual fire and slowly closed her eyes.

Unable to see, she could only rely on sound to locate the enemy.

After Little Bai had gone far, he dismounted from Erha’s back, extended his right hand, and grasped a long halberd.

Erha knew Little Bai was about to show his power and promptly lay down on the ground.

“I’ll see who’s launching sneak attacks from the shadows!”

“The night is also this Emperor’s domain!”

Little Bai said coldly, and with a wave of his small hand, demonic energy surged around his entire body.

A terrifying demonic figure condensed behind him, surrounded by demonic energy, obscuring its face. Within the demonic energy, one could vaguely see it wearing an imperial crown, seated high upon a throne of white bones, emitting a chilling demonic aura.

The demonic figure was completely integrated with the darkness, with only the terrifying demonic energy radiating outwards.

Little Bai’s current strength was weak, and he could only unleash the terrifying pressure of the demonic figure, but could not use its power.

Erha covered its head with its front paws, lying on the ground, afraid to look.

Little Bai’s small face was pale, and he closed his eyes, using the demonic figure to find those hiding in the dark.

Through the demonic figure’s eyes, Little Bai saw seven or eight male disciples a hundred meters away from his Senior Sister.

Two of them were Demon Sect disciples, and six were Star River Sect disciples.

“Heh.” Little Bai coldly chuckled.

The ethereal demonic figure directly shrouded the heads of those eight people.

Just as those two Demon Sect disciples were about to launch a sneak attack, they suddenly sensed a fatal panic, a pressure from their spirits and bloodlines, forcing them to kneel down!

And those six Star River Sect disciples also sensed something; they felt as if they were being watched by some enormous being.

“Senior, we are disciples of the Demon Music Palace, and we are only here for training. We did not intend to disturb your rest, please forgive us!” The Star River Sect disciples cupped their hands and said.

Hearing this, Little Bai sneered inwardly.

Do you really think I’m an idiot?

Being surrounded, Lin Yaoyao also sensed a powerful aura emanating from her side.

At the same time, with her keen senses, she detected the figures of eight people within the powerful aura.

That aura seemed to be deliberately revealing the figures of those eight people to her.

“Regardless of who is helping me in the dark, I, Lin Yaoyao, will remember this kindness!”

Having said that, Lin Yaoyao activated the Star River Reincarnation Sword Art, and her spiritual sword rapidly divided into thousands, floating behind her.

Each spiritual sword emitted an extreme sword intent.

Seeing that his Senior Sister was about to make a move, Little Bai then retracted his demonic figure.

His small face became even paler, devoid of color, from excessive consumption of energy.

His current strength was insufficient. Each time he used it, the consumption would be great, and he could not replenish his demonic energy.

After Little Bai retracted the demonic figure, his entire body weakened, and he lay on the ground.

Feeling that the terrifying aura had dissipated, Erha then raised its head, looking at its little master lying on the ground.

Immediately, it walked over, picked up Little Bai in its mouth, placing him on its back, and slowly walked towards Lin Yaoyao.

Lin Yaoyao’s phoenix eyes narrowed, and with a wave of her hand, she controlled the swords.

Thousands of spiritual swords transformed into a stream of light, shooting out towards the location she had locked onto.

Bang bang bang!

Many towering ancient trees were pierced through, and the two Demon Sect disciples lying on the ground were directly pierced through their bodies by the spiritual swords.

Those Star River Sect disciples immediately panicked.

“Senior Sister, we are Star River Sect…”

Before they could finish speaking, they were pierced through their bodies by the spiritual swords, dead beyond dead.

“I, Lin Yaoyao, don’t care who you are if you harm people in the dark!” Lin Yaoyao said coldly.

After resolving all the enemies, Lin Yaoyao then calmed her spiritual energy.

“Little Bai, Little Bai!” Lin Yaoyao called out everywhere.

In the darkness, she couldn’t see where Little Bai was. Having used too much spiritual energy earlier, she couldn’t ignite her spiritual fire.

“Senior Sister, I’m here.” Little Bai called out, riding Erha as he walked over.

Lin Yaoyao watched Little Bai walk over, and upon closer inspection, she was immediately surprised and said, “Little Bai, why is your face so pale?”

Hearing this, Little Bai nervously said, “I… I just ran too far… consumed too much energy.”

Hearing these words, Lin Yaoyao felt somewhat helpless, and with a hand on her forehead, she said in an annoyed tone:

“Little Bai ah, Little Bai, with Senior Sister here, what are you afraid of?”

“I was afraid Senior Sister couldn’t win, so I went to call for reinforcements.” Little Bai lied without blushing or skipping a beat.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yaoyao touched Little Bai’s head and said seriously, “Little Bai, you must remember, no one can help us.”

“Why?”

“Because our master is useless.”

Little Bai suddenly couldn’t refute this. Senior Sister was right, because their master was useless.

Therefore, people from other peaks were unwilling to pay attention to their Carefree Peak.

Even the despicable Heavenly Sword Peak would intercept them on the road, deliberately causing them to be eliminated.

“Meow!” Little Lan cried out, carrying two Moon Spirits back.

The shape of the Moon Spirits was similar to mushrooms, but they were curved and emitted a shimmering white glow.

However, what was peculiar was that these two Moon Spirits had small crowns on their heads.

When Little Bai reached out to touch them, his palm directly passed through the Moon Spirits, unable to grasp them.

As Little Lan carried the Moon Spirits back, many Moon Spirits emerged from the towering ancient trees around them.

They floated in the air, forming a circle, and the shimmering white light they emitted formed a ring, which was very beautiful.

In this pitch-black forest, their location was the only point of light.

Under the illumination of the light, Lin Yaoyao’s red dress fluttered, and she was as beautiful as a celestial being, causing Little Bai to stare in a daze.

Such a beautiful Senior Sister, it’s a pity she’s going to be taken advantage of by that useless master.

“Stop talking about beauty, we need to think of a way to take them back.” Lin Yaoyao said with a calm expression.

Hearing this, Little Bai lowered his head and pondered.

“Unless there is something special that can store the Moon Spirits.”

As he pondered, he saw two shimmering white spheres on the ground.

“What are these?” Little Bai bent down and picked up the two spheres.

Instantly, countless Moon Spirits flew into the spheres, and the spheres emitted a brilliant light.

“Hiss, my luck is simply heaven-defying!” Little Bai thought to himself happily.

He bent down and picked up a treasure that could contain the Moon Spirits.

Little Bai didn’t know that these spheres were prepared by Liu Ruqing for them.

Moreover,

the two of them took away all the Moon Spirits in the Moonlight Forest.

Little Lan came back so late because the Moon Spirit it captured was the Moon Spirit King!

As Little Bai and Lin Yaoyao left, a huge figure appeared behind them, opening its bloody mouth wide.
