Chapter 124: Why

Time can bury many things, weather them into sand, or allow the faintest memories to take root and grow into towering trees.

The most beautiful is nothing but memory, and the longest-lasting is nothing but obsession. The demonic being Su Moxuan and the remnants of Yun-niang's soul were both incinerated by the Heavenly Fire, and the Immortal Palace he created will soon cease to exist.

As the Immortal Palace collapses, boulders scatter and barriers crumble, causing chaotic tremors. Suddenly, branches of the Kunlun Divine Tree appear and sweep away everyone there.

Ning Yuan and Li Xinmei are transported to a floating island by the seaside. Su Lijiang, Su Tingyun, and Big Bai are directly taken inside the Divine Tree. There are many Treasures in the Immortal Palace, and the Divine Tree swiftly collects most of them. Apart from the ones that other people picked up by chance, the majority are hidden away by the Heart of the Divine Tree.

The collected mystical devices form a small mountain on the floor inside the Divine Tree. The Heart is pleased with itself, but at first glance, the treasures are piled up and look like small burial mound, leaving Du Xizhi dumbfounded.

However, although these treasures look impressive, not all of them are Immortal treasures. Only a few are worthy of the Immortal-grade status. It seems that many were left behind by past cultivators who entered the Immortal Palace in search of treasures, but met their demise inside.

When Su Tingyun is swept into the Kunlun Divine Tree, the first thing she thinks of is Zhang Zhizi. Even that demonic being, Su Moxuan, mentioned that Zhang Zhizi is the 'chosen one' of the Dual Realm Mountain, and he couldn't touch him. Thus, she has to kill Zhang Zhizi before he grows up, or it would be dangerous.

He has advanced at such a fast pace, and that woman in white is also unbelievably strong. They absolutely can’t let the tiger retreat to the mountain and pose a threat later on. Su Tingyun straightforwardly says, "We can't let Zhang Zhizi escape."

The Heart of the Divine Tree then transports them to the outside world. Realizing that although it had good intentions, it has inadvertently caused trouble. The sapling looks a little sheepish.

The collapse of the Immortal Palace is something that Su Tingyun can easily handle with her current strength. However, before she can react, the Heart of the Divine Tree had pulled her inside. Now, after this delay, Zhang Zhizi has already gotten quite a head start. She extends her divine sense outward but can only capture a glimpse of his figure.

No matter what, she has to chase after him!

Su Tingyun activates her spiritual energy and infuses it into the Springwater Sword. With a tap of her toe, she soars into the sky riding on the Springwater Sword, and leaving behind a graceful silhouette as she rapidly approaches Zhang Zhizi's direction.

Su Lijiang doesn’t hesitate and follows in pursuit. Since being possessed by Su Moxuan in the Immortal Palace, he had been passive. However, when he knew that his ancestors' lingering consciousness still existed, he felt a sense of joy deep within. But one was just a demonic being, while the other one had bid him farewell. He had been in a daze all this time, and until they left the Immortal Palace, he's only been slowly regaining his senses.

His ancestors died to exterminate demons, so at this moment, he will not let go of the demonic being chosen by the Dual Realm Mountain. Su Lijiang flies on his sword, soaring into the sky.

...

Bai Lu's consciouness has existed for countless ages and is extraordinarily powerful. Naturally, she senses the two approaching figures behind her.

"They're coming after us." Bai Lu's expression turns grave. She uses her spiritual energy to it’s limits, increasing her speed as she tries to escape. However, Zhang Zhizi is injured at the moment. The death of the other demonic being has greatly benefited them, but the results will not be immediately obvious. They need some time to manifest the drastic changes, yet these people aren’t giving them even a moment of respite.

Seeing a streak of sword light speeding towards them, Bai Lu swiftly maneuveres herself, carrying Zhang Zhizi to one side. The scroll wraps around Zhang Zhizi as they roll several zhangs away, leaving his face blue and his eyes bloodshot.

Two Sword Immortals, one in front and one behind, block Zhang Zhizi's path.

"Oh my, why are you so eager to hunt us down? Are you trying to silence us, to prevent us from exposing what you’ve done, of forcibly possessing someone else's body?" Bai Lu lightly chuckles while covering her face with her fan, looking disdainfully at Su Tingyun. "A dove occupying a magpie's nest, aren't you a demon as well?"

Su Tingyun remains unfazed, "If you break this Beauty Scroll, I'll release you."

Bai Lu stares blankly. Then she laughs out loud. Even though she has no physical body, her ethereal form seems to have tears in her eyes from laughing.

She no longer bothers with Su Ting Yun, but she turns her head and says, "Mister, you are the most beautiful man I have ever seen..." She slowly moves the feather fan that partially obscures her face, revealing her exquisite features bit by bit. Her face is as flawless as white jade, and her lips are as vibrant as the blooming azaleas in March. "Mister, do you find me beautiful?"

Her long eyelashes flutter a little, her eyes as captivating as autumn ripples .

The Beauties within the painting excel in enchanting men, each possessing the highest level of allure. She can’t use such techniques on Su Tingyun as the other is a woman, but now, her plan is to make this man belong to her.

However, Su Lijiang dislikes women.
