After rebirth, the eldest sister voluntarily abdicated and gave way to the wise.

Chapter 608 The Senior Brother's Order

Xu Youan strongly opposed it.

The desolate forests are scattered throughout the entire continent, harboring countless demonic beasts. No one knows what kind of demonic beasts they will encounter. Although Jiang Liqian is now a powerful being in the Returning Void Realm, there are always stronger ones among the strong. The desolate forests are full of high-level demonic beasts hidden within.

He couldn't let his senior sister be put in danger because of his own actions.

However, his objections were ineffective; Jiang Liqian had to do what she was told.

“Senior sister,” he lowered his eyes, a hint of helplessness in his smile, “you really are…”

"What really is it?" Jiang Liqian carried him on her back, wading through the babbling brook.

Xu Youan rested his head on her shoulder, the wind blowing through the strands of hair on her forehead, his beautiful eyebrows curving: "Senior sister, when no one is chasing us anymore, let's open a pastry shop, shall we? You can be the boss lady, and I'll be your employee!"

"That way, I can make any pastry my senior sister wants to eat."

Without a second thought, Jiang Liqian nodded: "Okay, let's open the shop in Beizhou and work hard to make it the number one pastry shop in the world."

"But there are many demons and few people in the Northern Continent. There are only a few cities where human cultivators live. Where can we make money?"

"It's precisely because we can't make money that we can more easily monopolize the Northern Continent. Who knows, the pastry shop might even gain a reputation among the demons!"

"Great! Great! I'm good at making so many kinds of pastries: Ruyi cake, Hundred Flower cake, Cloud cake, Lotus root starch and Osmanthus cake, Jujube and Yam cake, Amber cake, Begonia cake, Dragon and Phoenix cake, Mung bean cake..."

Xu Youan's voice grew softer and softer until the sound of the wind rustling through the leaves could drown out his murmured words.

Jiang Liqian really wanted him to stop talking, but she didn't dare to actually hear him stop.

She could only listen to his voice with trepidation, be wary of the monsters that might rush out to attack them at any moment, and be careful not to leave any more clues for them to follow.

"Shi Tian!"

"Shi Tian!"

"Shi Tian!"

Wherever the sword light shone, blood flowed everywhere, and corpses lay in two pieces.

Xu Youan struggled to open his eyes. In his vision, his senior sister seemed to have changed again at this moment. A murderous aura swept over her, and she stepped on the corpses one by one, her eyes full of ferocity.

In her heart, there seemed to be only one belief: to take him away, away from all the rights and wrongs, away from the people who captured them, away from the heavy burden of the Tianqian Sect.

They just need to survive.

Must survive.

Therefore, I am willing to shed as much blood as possible on my sword.

Senior sister, this is very rare.

In her heart, there was always more compassion than cruelty, more tolerance than violence, and more self-blame than resentment towards others.

He was so happy that his senior sister could change like this for him, and he was also so heartbroken that his senior sister had changed so much for him.

His senior sister was his salvation, but he seemed to always be her calamity.

"Shitian!" With a loud shout, the purple sword light instantly cleaved the five-legged insect demon in two. The foul-smelling, bluish-black blood splattered onto a nearby treetop, and with only a cry of pain, a round thing rolled down from it.

Jiang Li frowned slightly, instinctively wanting to lean forward to catch it, but the weight on her back reminded her what was most important right now. She looked closely at the object and, upon discovering it was a winged bird, stopped moving.

The chubby little bird fell to the ground with a "plop," clutching its head and crying out, immediately followed by a chorus of chirping responses from the treetops.

Jiang Liqian froze as she was about to leave, and finally sighed.

“Shitian”.

Shitian Sword understood its master's intention. Reluctantly, it shook its blade and condescended to fly over. With a flick of its blade, a surge of sword energy rose up, and the sword wind gently carried the little guy back to its nest. It even arrogantly spun around before returning to Jiang Liqian's side.

Without further delay, Jiang Liqian sped quickly into the depths of the desolate forest.

But this ordeal didn't seem to be over yet. The two had just passed through a dense thicket of thorns when a large bird with long brown feathers spread its wings and flew overhead. The moment the eagle's eyes caught sight of them, it cried out and swooped down towards them.

"Watch out, Senior Sister!"

Jiang Liqian reacted extremely quickly, ignoring the large bird completely, and immediately stopped Xu Youan from trying to form a formation.

"Don't move, Xu You'an! I'm warning you, you're not allowed to move!"

"Sister..."

Jiang Li glanced around and found a relatively clean and flat patch of grass. She had him sit down against a large tree behind him and then placed a defensive barrier around him to prevent him from getting hurt and to prevent him from disobeying her and trying to come over.

After settling him in, Jiang Liqian stood up and looked up at the long-haired bird demon who was already fighting with Shi Tianjian.

She didn't make any move, nor did she say a word. With just a glance, the Shitian Sword sensed its master's will and instantly returned to Jiang Liqian's hand with a "whoosh".

The long-haired demon's feathers were now disheveled, a mess from the mischievous Shi Tian's shavings, and a large bald patch on its head. Its eyes were blazing with fire, and it was flapping its wings and yelling, clearly furious.

Jiang Liqian gripped the sword in her hand and looked at him coldly: "Leave now, and I won't kill you."

The long-haired bird demon clearly did not accept her well-intentioned advice, taking it as a provocation.

Beasts are easily provoked to be irritable and easily angered, so it didn't recognize this. With a single breath, it unleashed a scorching demonic power at Jiang Liqian on the ground.

Jiang Li narrowed her eyes, her last bit of patience running out.

As the Heavenly Sword was drawn, starlight instantly fell into the vast universe.

Before the long-haired bird demon could react, it saw a flash of purple light before its eyes, followed by an immense threat of death engulfing it. Its mind screamed for it to get away, but its body was completely immobile.

Just as he was about to die on the spot, a transparent tiger claw, imbued with demonic power, suddenly appeared from the southeast and swept him aside.

The long-haired bird cried out in pain and fainted.

Jiang Liqian turned her head instantly, the sword already reversed direction, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the newcomer.

"Junior Sister, don't attack, it's me!" Along with the voice came a huge white tiger, which leaped from above the forest to in front of Jiang Liqian and then transformed into human form before her eyes.

It was actually the fourth senior brother, Bai Yi!

"Fourth Senior Brother..." Jiang Li frowned slightly and immediately stepped back to block Xu You'an.

Are you here to arrest us?

Bai Yi waved his hands and shook his head repeatedly, hurriedly explaining, "No, no, junior sister, don't misunderstand, I came to find you on the orders of senior brother."

"By order of the senior brother?"

"Yes," Bai Yi nodded. "Our senior brother guessed that you might try to escape the Disciplinary Hall disciples by leaving through the Wilderness Forest, so he sent me to escort you."
