Journey to the End of the Night
Chapter 79 - 79 79 Female Evil Star

79: Chapter 79: Female Evil Star 79: Chapter 79: Female Evil Star The red garment, which was resplendent in color, exuded an indescribable melancholy when worn by her.

With a mocking sneer on her face, she gazed deeply at the girl in white riding a deer, her hands playing delicately with a small coffin, her eyes rather cold.

Li Xuan’s sheathed sword slipped from his grip and fell to the ground.

Why was it this Evil Star?

The girl in white, whose eyes were lowered, also showed a hint of helplessness.

She looked up at the woman in red, lightly laughed, and brushed her lips, “Miss has long been here, merely watching others in distress without lending a hand?”

Yin Baishuang slowly lifted her eyes to meet those of the girl in white, frowning tightly, her eyes seemed wounded by the pristine white robe she wore, chilling them further.

“I have never cared much for the life or death of others.”

Although the girl in white’s demeanor was polite towards Yin Baishuang, her tone was quite casual:

“I do not believe in Buddhism, nor do I believe in the saying ‘saving a life is better than building a seven-tiered pagoda,’ but if I encounter life and death, I choose life.

If Miss does not intend to save anyone, why appear and waste everyone’s time?”

Helping others avoid death was, after all, just a matter of convenience.

The playfulness with the small coffin paused momentarily.

Yin Baishuang’s gaze grew colder as she nodded slightly, “I did not intend to appear, but your white attire is an eyesore.

You have the proper attire of our sect and yet you choose to dress like a lunatic in mourning!”

The disciples of Lihe Sect exchanged looks, wondering, what kind of divine battle was this?

It was better not to provoke such matters.

Such disputes between great entities were not for them to watch casually, as they might even lead to fatalities.

Thus, under the cold, sweaty guidance of Li Xuan, the Lihe Sect disciples flew out of the Demon Cave on their swords, leaving the two women staring at each other.

The girl in white chuckled, “Miss even cares about what I wear, isn’t that a bit too controlling?”

Yin Baishuang snorted, “I do not care what you wear, but if you wear white to irritate me, I am displeased!”

The girl in white thought to herself, who wanted to irritate her anyway.

Every renowned family knew about her rift with that person from the Taixuan Sect; they glared at each other without blinking, who would intentionally seek her displeasure?

Changing into a white garment was merely to conceal her identity, making it easier for her to act.

Who could have thought that the madwoman who usually drowned her sorrows in Beiliao Town would suddenly decide to come to this Demon Cave?

Sighing helplessly, the girl in white looked deeply at her, then solemnly undid her sword belt.

She took the longsword wrapped in cloth from behind her, exposed a corner, revealing a silvery metallic hilt.

“So, did you make your presence known intentionally to pick a fight with me?”

Yin Baishuang looked coldly at the girl in white below, her eyes feigning reluctance but actually excited.

She subconsciously touched the scabbard at her waist, her fighting spirit rising, yet forcefully suppressed it, saying lightly, “I’m not that bored.

Why are you here?”

Since the Three Sects had decreed, disciples of the Three Sects on external missions were strictly forbidden to participate in the Demon Cave’s demon-sealing mission.

Yin Baishuang, who never followed others’ restrictive orders and always went wherever she pleased, was different.

She would always revere the Sect Master’s commands, yet today was an exception.

This was truly out of the ordinary.

Seeing Yin Baishuang full of fighting spirit yet forcefully holding back, the girl in white felt somewhat disappointed.

Even though she, as a senior, and having recently breached the Tribulation Realm, challenging someone from the Chengling Realm, would not be honorable even if she won.

However, she knew distinctly that this Miss from Cangwu Palace, being able to traverse the Demon Cave unscathed and alone, was not as simple as an ordinary Chengling Realm.

Also, the two swords she carried were rumored to be among the top ten Divine Artifacts from the eighth chamber of the Divine Weapon Hall.

Divine Artifacts were exceedingly rare in the Immortal World.

Such extraordinary swords, she, being fanatical about swords, had long desired to test their edges.

Although the Morin Sword she carried had been sealed by its owner since leaving the Divine Weapon Hall and had never been un-sheathed or stained with blood,

Her Han Zhi Sword at her waist had repeatedly achieved remarkable victories, astounding all around.

Whenever she heard of the feats of the Han Zhi Sword, the girl in white’s hands itched for days, and now seeing the person herself, she thought of striking once more.

The girl in white repositioned the sword on her back and slowly said, “Five days ago, I received a sword seal from my thirteen younger sibling, originating from this Demon Cave.

I hadn’t heard from him for months, so I came here to check.”

Yin Baishuang’s brow furrowed deeply, “Five days ago, the Thirteen Swords sent you a sword seal?

Impossible.”

Seeing her so certain, the girl in white was slightly moved, “Miss, why do you say that?”

Yin Baishuang lightly spun the small coffin on her slender fingertips, “Ten days ago, I saw the Thirteen Swords in the Cang Mountain across the Endless Sea.

If he indeed wanted to seek your help using a sword seal, it should have come from Cang Mountain, not the Demon Cave.”

The girl in white’s expression gradually darkened, frowning, “The sword seal of the Yuanli Sword can only be summoned by its owner.

If it’s not my younger sibling… then who could it be?”

Yin Baishuang scoffed, “You’re not unfamiliar with the methods of the Demon Sect from the Sword Breaking Plan five hundred years ago.

Speaking of your younger sibling, he’s quite interesting.

Despite being severely injured and suppressing the Heavenly Tribulation within the Yuanli Sword, he’s not in a rush to return to Bai Tuo Mountain to seek the Sect Master to free him from this predicament.

Instead, he’s been acting like a thief, following a corpse demon around claiming it’s to repay a debt.

You’ve seen that corpse demon, haven’t you?”

Hearing the words ‘corpse demon’, the girl in white subconsciously looked down at the little deer below.

“Yes, it belongs to the owner of this little deer.

I don’t know how this deer came to be under you, but I know that this deer is extremely important to that corpse demon.

Since it sits under you so peacefully, it must have been personally entrusted to you by him.

How strange…

you met that corpse demon but not the Thirteen Swords?”

The girl in white stroked the deer’s head, “I found this corpse demon in the South Sea and have not seen my younger sibling.”

Yin Baishuang “oh?” with deep meaning.

She had thought that everyone from the Tianxi Sword Sect was rigid, especially this sword-obsessed woman who cared about nothing but the Sword Dao.

Unexpectedly…
