Bai Fengtian, bare-chested, burst into wild laughter.
Shuang Qingqing's eyes were already blood-red, but she was not an impulsive person. If she were to rush out now, she would only become another object of humiliation for the other party.
She quickly summoned the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix." This puppet was personally refined for her by Shen Yuhuan.
Just as she had entered the body of the "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" puppet, the entire cave residence suddenly shook violently, and a beam of white light shot up into the sky!
Then, Bai Fengtian's furious voice was heard.
"Damn it!"
Then a powerful and terrifying force was immediately generated, suppressing the loud noise.
But even so, many parts of Shen Yuhuan's cave residence began to collapse.
Although Bai Fengtian reacted extremely quickly and forcibly suppressed seventy to eighty percent of the huge commotion here, a rumbling sound still spread out.
This made Bai Fengtian, who already had a guilty conscience, suddenly feel a little panicked.
Shuang Qingqing knew that this was the last chance her master had created for her. The "Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix" carried Shuang Qingqing and transformed into a barely visible illusory shadow, flashing away from a damaged part of the formation.
And in Shuang Qingqing's divine sense, she saw a scene that made her eyes burn with rage and was the most unforgettable.
An exquisite and small oriole puppet rose from between the pair of snow-white, proud peaks that were exposed in the air. Then, as her master's beautiful eyes widened, it suddenly exploded.
She, of course, knew what that was. It was Shen Yuhuan's natal magical treasure, a puppet that had long since been integrated into her body—the "Nine Heavens Spirit Oriole."
It seemed that Shen Yuhuan knew that even if she summoned the puppet, she would not have the strength to fight Bai Fengtian. She simply used her remaining magical power to directly destroy her own natal magical treasure.
As she fled, Shuang Qingqing frequently looked back. Shen Yuhuan's snow-white, alluring body turned into nothingness in an instant. Shuang Qingqing was still hoping that a Nascent Soul could instantly escape.
However, she had underestimated Bai Fengtian's methods and Shen Yuhuan's decisiveness.
Since Bai Fengtian had gone to such lengths to take down Shen Yuhuan, how could he let a cultivator of the same rank have a chance to resist? That poison had only left a trace of power in Shen Yuhuan's Nascent Soul in the end.
Shen Yuhuan had stimulated the purest magical power in her Nascent Soul. Her Nascent Soul itself no longer had a single trace of defensive magical power.
And just like that, Shen Yuhuan's entire person, along with her Nascent Soul, was completely destroyed in an instant, without leaving even a slight possibility of revival.
A Nascent Soul expert had just so easily perished in her own cave residence.
And Bai Fengtian was also caught off guard by the explosion of Shen Yuhuan's natal magical treasure at such a close distance.
Not only did he have to divert most of his power to defend himself, but he also had to suppress the commotion here. With his power dispersed, half of his physical body was blown away, a bloody mess.
In his shock and anger, he had also sobered up a lot by now. He had been somewhat bewitched by Shen Yuhuan.
Under long-term frustration, after receiving the jade slip, his lust had clouded his mind, and only the thought of getting Shen Yuhuan remained in his heart.
Now that he saw such a result, he had already begun to be afraid. At the thought of the Grand Elder's methods, for a moment he couldn't even be bothered to heal his injuries.
He thought rapidly in his mind. If a living Shen Yuhuan had been planted with his seed of love, everything could still be covered up. But now, this matter was definitely impossible to hide.
Bai Fengtian was a hero of his generation back then. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm. He quickly thought of a method.
That was to create the illusion of the Tianling Clan being ambushed. That way, he might be able to cover his tracks.
In his anxiety, his divine sense began to scan Shen Yuhuan's cave residence, looking for some things and conditions that he could use.
But soon, he found that there was nothing here that he could use. By now, four or five breaths of time had passed.
He realized that his situation was not good. Such a big commotion had occurred in the clan. If he didn't show up within a few breaths, he could still find an excuse. But if he didn't show up at all, he would have no reason to explain.
His divine sense immediately spread throughout the clan. The commotion here had already attracted the attention of the clan's patrolling guards and many cultivators. Some people were flying here rapidly.
Nascent Soul cultivators usually did not live in the places where their own clansmen gathered, but would choose places that were far from the clan and had very abundant spirit qi.
High-level cultivators also disliked others approaching the area where they were, so the area around their cave residence, for thousands of li, or even tens of thousands of li, might be designated as a restricted area.
So it would still take some time for the patrolling guards to get here.
In his anxiety, Bai Fengtian's divine sense suddenly swept over a place, and his expression froze.
Because he saw a puppet fly out from a courtyard. In the courtyard, only a beautiful young woman with a shocked expression was left.
Then, the young woman's divine sense swept towards him. With Bai Fengtian's ability, the other party of course could not discover his existence.
But now, with the state of the cave residence here, it had already attracted the attention of others. Bai Fengtian of course could no longer conceal himself.
After the young woman's divine sense swept over, her face changed dramatically, and she turned and flew into the house.
Bai Fengtian was first stunned, then he also thought of something, and his face changed dramatically.
The reason was that the beautiful young woman was none other than Shen Yuhuan's second daughter, Shuang Tongye. And Bai Fengtian also knew whose puppet had just flown away. It was that only disciple of Shen Yuhuan's.
A matter immediately came to his mind. Just before, when Shen Yuhuan's natal magical treasure exploded, he should have felt something strange.
But because he was in a state of agitation at that time, most of his attention was on Shen Yuhuan. In his panic, he was only concerned with covering up the commotion here.
Besides, it was also very normal for the explosion of a Nascent Soul cultivator's natal magical treasure to cause spirit power to run rampant and the space to become chaotic.
He had actually ignored the feeling that had flashed by.
"That strange spatial fluctuation just now was the 'Purple-Winged Ice Phoenix.' No, it's Shen Yuhuan's disciple. There's actually her disciple here!"
In the thatched cottage, when Shuang Qingqing said this, there was neither joy nor sorrow in her eyes, and the aura on her body became even colder.
"After I returned to the clan this time, I have been investigating. What I have said is based on my personal experience back then, as well as clues I have found. Of course, there are also results that I have inferred based on the clues. This is roughly it."
"And it was my escape and panic that caused even more slaughter!"
Then, she glanced at the already moved yellow-robed middle-aged man. The yellow-robed middle-aged man had been shocked by Shuang Qingqing's words from the very beginning.
He hadn't expected this female cultivator to be a figure from a different era than him. She should have been a person who had long since passed away.
Even if a race like the Tianling Clan had an equally long lifespan, this matter had occurred during the great war with the Demon Realm.
Even those Spirit Transformation cultivators who had not ascended at that time would have been long dead by now.
And this female cultivator named Shuang Qingqing had actually survived to this day with a Nascent Soul stage cultivation.
If Shuang Qingqing hadn't said at the beginning that her words would make others suspicious, he would have thought that the other party was talking nonsense.
However, he was also a very shrewd person. Apart from the change in his expression, he did not ask any questions and continued to listen to Shuang Qingqing's narrative. He would naturally judge the truth in his heart.
Bai Fengtian immediately guessed that Shuang Qingqing was also in the cave residence before and had seen everything that had just happened.
Shuang Qingqing had just appeared at the residence of Shen Yuhuan's daughter, Shuang Tongye. This was undoubtedly the other party notifying Shuang Tongye to escape.
These thoughts flashed through Bai Fengtian's mind quickly, and he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
He hadn't expected that Shen Yuhuan, in a desperate situation, would resolutely disregard her own life and death and still leave a backup plan.
If he hadn't scanned this scene with his divine sense, then what would have awaited him would have been a dead end.
Then, his killing intent arose. He knew that Shuang Qingqing must have been planning to notify Shen Yuhuan's pair of children, and then would quietly go to find the Grand Elder.
Now, he was already sure that Shuang Tongye knew about this matter, so Shuang Tongguan might have also gotten the news.
At once, he no longer cared about his injuries. In an instant, he arrived in the clan where Shuang Tongye was. A slaughter instantly descended.
He didn't know if Shuang Tongye had already passed the news to her Dao companion and children, so he might as well kill them all.
Even if he was seriously injured, when a Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator acted, the pitiful Shuang Tongye and her Dao companion, as well as a host of clansmen, had no power to resist.
In silence, they instantly turned into cold corpses. Bai Fengtian had slaughtered more than six hundred people in just a few breaths.
When he teleported to Shuang Tongguan's side again, the auras of Shuang Qingqing, Shuang Tongguan and his wife, and many other people had suddenly disappeared.
Only a clan of about a thousand people was left with a dazed expression. At that time, he didn't have time to think carefully and once again unleashed a slaughter without hesitation.
However, what terrified him was that Shuang Tongguan and his wife, children, and many of their disciples, along with Shuang Qingqing, were not among them.
In his shock and anger, he carefully scanned with his divine sense several times and finally found a teleportation formation deep underground.
And what angered him even more was that the other end of the teleportation formation had been destroyed by those people, and it was impossible to know where it led.
Shuang Tongye's distance to Shen Yuhuan's cave residence was much closer. When Shuang Qingqing arrived there first, she had already continuously sent out several voice transmission talismans to Shuang Tongguan.
When she came over, Shuang Tongguan had also probed the situation at his mother's cave residence with his divine sense, and he almost fainted.
After Shuang Qingqing arrived and they met, they immediately sent a voice transmission to Shuang Tongye, but there was no response from that side at all.
Their divine sense quickly swept over the area where Shuang Tongye was, and they had already discovered that all auras were gone. At that time, they guessed that something had happened to Shuang Tongye.
Shuang Qingqing and the others immediately chose the fastest way to escape.
In fact, there was also a teleportation formation leading to a distant place where Shuang Tongye was. This was all Shen Yuhuan's request.
As a Nascent Soul cultivator, she had long since seen through the cruelty of the cultivation world and had naturally left a backup plan for her children.
However, she had actually never thought that there would be a day when it would be used.
In the end, Shuang Tongye was still a step too slow. The reason was that as a wife, her entire clan was centered around her Dao companion. Her words had made her Dao companion a little suspicious and uncertain for a moment.
By the time he wanted to carefully probe the situation on Shen Yuhuan's side again, it was already too late. He was slaughtered by the arriving Bai Fengtian, wasting a good chance to escape.
After seeing Shuang Qingqing and the others escape, Bai Fengtian knew that things were not good. The vicious plan he had thought of before was immediately put into action.
Then, he concealed his appearance in the clan and started another slaughter. In a short period of time, many more Tianling Clan members died silently, including even some direct disciples of his own branch.
Then he suddenly appeared in the clan, covered in blood, looking like a madman. This greatly shocked the clansmen who had just discovered that something major had happened.
Bai Fengtian had a look of extreme grief and indignation, as if he was about to go mad.
He declared to the clansmen who had rushed over that Shuang Qingqing had colluded with the Demon Clan and had just led a demonic general to sneak into the Tianling Clan, ambushing him and Shen Yuhuan without any warning.
He and Shen Yuhuan were discussing matters assigned by the Grand Elder when they were caught off guard by Shuang Qingqing. They instantly fell into the other party's trap.
Shen Yuhuan was ambushed and killed by that demonic general at close range, and he himself was also seriously injured.
He had pursued them with his life on the line, but still let that demonic general and Shuang Qingqing escape. At the same time, some clansmen were also abducted by the other party.
The people of the Tianling Clan saw that half of Bai Fengtian's body had disappeared, his situation was tragic, and he was clearly a seriously injured body. How could they not believe him?
