The demonic beast that had been forced to swallow the demonic pill began to mutate. Two strange claws grew out of its back, and its fangs extended infinitely from its mouth, sharp and hideous.
It let out a tremendous roar at the cultivators. Its four huge paws waved continuously, and many cultivators were swept by the gust of its paw strikes and fell heavily to the ground.
Due to the sudden mutation of the demonic beast, the soil beneath its feet was stirred up into a cloud of dust, and Lin Yibai's figure was hidden in the dust.
"Li Xian, Lin Yibai is hiding under that demonic beast's feet. We have to drag her out!"
"Okay."
Li Xian nodded. Under Fang Yinnian's cover, she flew down with Shen Qing.
The small demonic beasts had been mostly taken care of by the cultivators brought by Fang Yinnian. So Pei Xuanjing and the others searched the whole area for Lin Yibai's figure.
The crowd rushed towards the large demonic beast, and they just happened to appear in Lin Yibai's line of sight.
Lin Yibai, who was hiding under the demonic beast's feet, had completely shed that strange disguise. The disguise pill had also completely lost its effect, revealing her true face.
But at this moment, her eyes were still blood - red, and there was still a faint sense of demonic qi on her body. If she showed up in front of people, it would be very easy for others to detect it.
"System, is there any way to purify the demonic qi on me as soon as possible?"
The system didn't really want to talk to Lin Yibai at this time. It only had one chance of disguise left, and it had been wasted like this.
Lin Yibai hadn't repaid the points she had borrowed from it before.
Of course, it had a way to remove the demonic qi on Lin Yibai, but Lin Yibai had no points left to exchange for it. It didn't want to waste its own resources to fill Lin Yibai's big hole.
"Host, you know that all these require points for exchange."
Lin Yibai gritted her teeth. Listening to the system's emotionless voice, she only felt annoyed: "Can't you just let me borrow points like before? I will definitely pay it back someday."
If the system had a physical form, it would probably have rolled its eyes several times.
"Host, please pay back the previous points first. Otherwise, when your lifespan is consumed, I will have to take back the beauty and affinity I've exchanged for you."
"It's not worth it."
Lin Yibai looked around warily, but her expression became more and more anxious. She noticed that the large demonic beast had stopped moving, and the demonic - slaying formation the cultivators had set on it had started to take effect.
The dust around was slowly dispersing. If this continued, her true appearance would soon be seen by others.
Moreover, the worst thing was that Pei Xuanjing and those fools were getting closer and closer to her.
"System, don't forget that I'm your last - bound host. If I can't complete the mission, you won't be able to escape from this small world either!"
The system's program suddenly got a bit chaotic. It really regretted telling Lin Yibai this piece of information.
The energy was obtained from the host's successful completion of the mission. When its energy was almost exhausted, it bound Lin Yibai.
After leading Lin Yibai into the book, it completed the mission of courting the Demon Lord Qu Chongming, which finally gave the system a breather.
But this tiny amount of energy was not enough for it to replace the host or escape from this small world.
"Host, are you threatening me?" The system's electronic voice sounded a bit sinister.
A sneer appeared on Lin Yibai's lips: "Didn't you threaten me first? We are one entity. If one prospers, the other prospers; if one suffers, the other suffers. If you want me to complete the mission, then remove the demonic qi on me!"
"Hurry up!!"
At this time, the smoke cleared, and Lin Yibai's appearance was revealed. Shen Qing and Pei Xuanjing saw her at the same time.
That pale, blood - less face and the blood - red pupils were exactly the appearance of a demonic cultivator.
Shen Qing felt a bit regretful. She didn't expect that in just a few moments, Lin Yibai would quickly return to her original state.
Pei Xuanjing stood there stunned, looking at Lin Yibai's appearance in disbelief.
He rubbed his eyes hard, but then he saw Lin Yibai turn her head away. Her thin and frail body was trembling slightly, and the hand holding the sword was still bleeding.
He must have seen wrong!
Little Junior Sister Bai, how could she have fallen into the demonic path and become a demonic cultivator?!
"Senior Brother! Look! Isn't that Little Junior Sister Bai?"
He Yu excitedly grabbed Pei Xuanjing's sleeve and pointed at Lin Yibai's figure not far away. He was so excited that he almost cried.
He finally found Little Junior Sister Bai. Now he could feel at ease!
But before he could be happy for long, he saw Li Xian draw his sword and stab at Lin Yibai.
And his Little Junior Sister Bai panicked and dodged. By accident, she sprained her foot and fell to the ground.
He Yu was scared by this sudden change and let out a scream: "What are you doing?!"
Lin Yibai heard He Yu's voice and showed a weak side face. He just happened to see the scene of her tears falling.
This made He Yu extremely heart - broken, and he rushed up immediately.
"Where are you going?"
Halfway there, Shen Qing blocked He Yu's way and didn't let him get any closer to Lin Yibai.
"Shen Qing?" He Yu was a bit stunned. But he saw Li Xian's sword getting closer and closer to Lin Yibai, and he was extremely anxious: "Get out of my way. Little Junior Sister Bai is in danger!!"
Shen Qing held Bilo and pointed the tip of her sword at He Yu and Pei Xuanjing. She also used her sword qi to block Nan Zhijin, who wanted to rush over to save Lin Yibai.
"None of you are allowed to leave!"
Nan Zhijin's eyes were slightly red. She shouted angrily at Shen Qing: "Shen Qing! I didn't expect you to be so vicious. You colluded with the outer - sect disciples to kill Little Junior Sister Bai while taking advantage of the chaos. Why are you so vicious?"
"Shen Qing? I'm warning you in the name of the senior brother. If you don't get out of the way, I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of the master!"
The hearts of these men tightened. They watched as Lin Yibai struggled to dodge Li Xian's attacks one after another. They just wanted to get rid of Shen Qing, who was blocking their way!
Shen Qing didn't care about the shouts of these people at all. But when she looked at Pei Xuanjing, her gaze became meaningful.
"You saw it just now, didn't you?"
Pei Xuanjing paused and immediately understood what Shen Qing was referring to.
The image of Lin Yibai falling into the demonic path was still vivid in his mind. He originally thought he had seen things wrong, but Shen Qing's words made him realize that he might not have been hallucinating.
"Senior Brother, why are you wasting your breath on her? Beat her away and let's go and save people!"
But in Pei Xuanjing's mind, there was still Lin Yibai's strange appearance. He struggled in his heart and didn't know what to do.
His family was killed by demonic cultivators. If it weren't for True Person Heng Ling picking him up and bringing him to the Qingyun Sword Sect, he might have died at the hands of those demonic cultivators long ago.
From the moment he entered the sect, he swore to kill all the demonic cultivators in the world.
But now, he found that his most beloved little junior sister actually showed signs of falling into the demonic path. How could he not be afraid?
He hoped so much that Shen Qing was lying to him, but seeing was believing, and he couldn't deceive himself.
If Lin Yibai really fell into the demonic path, could he really have the heart to kill her?
