The large array shuddered from the countless attacks . At least several hundred cannon fodders crowded the entrance to Grand Heavens Mountain . It was packed so tightly that not even a drop of water could leak out .
There was a Void Refining stage1 great power, with white hair and a ruddy complexion . His expression was coldly indifferent .
“Bai Weiwei, you connived with your rebellious apprentice and killed my dear disciple . Today, if you do not kill and offer up Ning Yishu’s soul, I swear I will slaughter your entire sect . ”
Bai Weiwei’s eyes dulled . She asked the system: “Who is his disciple?”
The system flipped through the novel’s list of characters . “It’s your dear gege Yu Chen . ”
Dear gege…
Bai Weiwei felt a wave of nausea . She just remembered . Ning Yishu had destroyed Yu Chen’s body and shattered his soul . The little one had died, and now the big one had come out to act as a roadblock for the protagonist .
Shuangwen novels were all like this . The small one brings out the big one, the big one brings out the old one, the old one brings out the ancient one .
In any case, it was simply going all out to go against the protagonist, chipping away and sending him experience and equipment .
It was all standard routine .
Yu Chen’s master suddenly reached out and formed flowers on his fingers . The flowers formed by the condensation of spiritual energy continued to grow until they were large enough to cover the entire mountain .
Grand Heavens Mountain’s ancient array suddenly shook .
“Kill Ning Yishu, and I will spare the lives of everyone in Grand Heavens Mountain . ”
A Void Refining stage could shift the heavens and overturn the sea . He could slaughter tens of thousands of people by just raising his hand .
In any case, it was very awe-inspiring .
Bai Weiwei felt that, as a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, she was just too pitiful . She was only an insignificant little cannon fodder villain from the first arc .
As soon as she became entangled with Ning Yishu, a great mess of late-stage big bosses2 came out .
The protagonist was indeed a god of misfortune; anyone who stayed beside him had bad luck .
Bai Weiwei knew that Grand Heavens Mountain’s large array was a protective measure formed with great care by previous generations of ancestors . Even with the strength of a Void Refining stage cultivator, destroying it would take some time .
So she could rest at ease as she took a few steps forward, pretending to be in a tough spot .
Ning Yishu grabbed her hand . Bai Weiwei turned her head to look at him inquisitively and saw him looking at her with a profound gaze .
“Shifu, let me go . ”
He had a flat expression, as though he wasn’t going to go die, but rather going out for a stroll .
He understood that it was impossible for Bai Weiwei, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, to defeat all those people outside the gate .
And he was even more aware that she would never fight so many people for him .
Because she was selfish . But he didn’t have the slightest bit of resentment . He even felt relieved .
She was the type of person to look out for herself . He couldn’t protect her, so it was better that she was selfish, vicious, and arrogant, and not willing to compromise or surrender .
Bai Weiwei sneered, “Are you in such a hurry to court death?”
Ning Yishu wasn’t afraid in the face of death, but his voice was full of tender feelings .
“When I die, will you remember me?”
Bai Weiwei’s eyebrows raised . Her eyes were filled with an angry glint .
“Why would I remember you? When you die, I can rid myself of the reputation of accepting a waste disciple . Who would remember you?”
The smile at the corner of Ning Yishu’s mouth stiffened for a moment, and he seemed somewhat sad . He opened and closed his mouth several times before he finally sighed .
“Shifu, I’m leaving . ”
A Void Refining state cultivator was just too horrible . On top of the several sects’ worth of people outside, Grand Heavens Mountain Sect had no way to fight .
If he hadn’t abolished his spiritual root, and he still had the bloodstained dagger, he could have protected her .
Now, he was nothing more than a waste .
Saying this, Ning Yishu didn’t hesitate to go outside . His body was much weaker than before, and the array’s effect hit him . Each step was like scraping his bones and digging out his flesh .
But his footsteps were steady .
He walked to the edge of the array . He paused for a moment before he slowly stepped out .
This step was the parting in life and separation in death .
1: 炼虚期: refining + void + stage . It doesn’t seem to be a cultivation stage used in most cultivation novels, but from the context it’s likely right before or right after Immortal Ascension stage .
2: boss was in English .
