Beauties in Simulation Cross over into Reality-Chapter 140 - 125: But All of This Depends on Mr. Xiao
"Daoist Master Fuchen."
Kong Sheng, the Palace Master of the Confucian Academy, bowed to Daoist Master Fuchen, a weary look on his face.
"Ding Chen was indeed in the wrong on this matter, but I will take the liberty of vouching for his life."
Daoist Master Fuchen looked at the highly respected elder of the World of Ten Thousand Laws and said, "If Mr. Kong wishes to protect someone, then I could not kill him even if I wanted to.
But, Mr. Kong, the North Sea will not forget this.
The relationship between the Human and Dragon Races might have been eased.
But there are always those who think themselves clever."
Daoist Master Fuchen’s gaze swept across the Sect Leaders. "As for the coming Human-Demon War, you’d all best fend for yourselves."
With that, Daoist Master Fuchen swept up Xiao Mo and Bai Ruxue, transforming into a streak of light and disappearing over the horizon.
Only his voice drifted back from the distant horizon. "If any of you hunt the demons of the North Sea Dragon Race again, I swear I will make you pay the price."
"Palace Master..."
After Daoist Master Fuchen left, Ding Chen stood up and looked at the Palace Master of the Confucian Academy with a complicated expression.
Kong Sheng turned and sighed. "I was only in seclusion for half a year, and yet I find you’ve unilaterally caused such a disaster.
The North Sea was neutral, and you forced them to turn against us.
The World of Ten Thousand Laws has a total of fifty Immortal Realm Cultivators, and now twelve of them are gravely injured.
On top of that, one hundred Jade Realm Cultivators and four hundred Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators have perished.
Do you have any idea how much your unauthorized actions have weakened the World of Ten Thousand Laws?
Ding Chen, do you admit you were wrong?"
"I did nothing wrong. My only mistake was failing to predict that Daoist Master Fuchen had reached the Ascension Realm and would come to the North Sea to save Bai Ruxue!"
Ding Chen said in a low, heavy voice, his eyes as sharp as a falcon’s.
"On the contrary, I believe you, Palace Master, should never have agreed to a pact with the North Sea. The conflict between the Dragon Race and the Human Race runs deep, and now this Bai Ruxue has appeared as the Lord of the North Sea.
It’s true that our Human Race Ancestors sealed the Dragon Race’s Qi Fortune.
But who knows if Bai Ruxue can transform into a True Dragon?
The Human-Demon War is imminent. What if the North Sea alone is allowed to conserve its strength? After the war, what if they harbor ill intentions? What then?
If Bai Ruxue transforms into a True Dragon, the seal our Human Race Ancestors placed on the Dragon Race will be completely broken!
At that point, countless Pythons will undergo River Transform to Dragon, and who knows how many Flood Dragons will Cross the Tribulation to become True Dragons.
So what if the Bai Ruxue of today genuinely wishes to remain neutral?
In the future, when the Dragon Race’s Qi Fortune rises, will Bai Ruxue be able to keep the Four Seas in check?
Will the other True Dragons of the Four Seas listen to her?"
"But did you ever consider that if we, the World of Ten Thousand Laws, had signed this pact with the North Sea, our relationship could have gradually improved through interaction?"
Kong Sheng didn’t get angry; his voice was merely tinged with disappointment.
"Besides, even if you had killed this Bai Ruxue, how could you guarantee another wouldn’t appear?
Heaven never seals all paths.
How can you be so certain the Dragon Race will never rise again?
How do you know that our Human Race will always be the dominant party?
Originally, the fact that Bai Ruxue’s beloved is a human—and a disciple of my Confucian School, no less—was a perfect opportunity to break the ice.
But with your actions today, you have destroyed everything."
Ding Chen: "..."
"I know that no matter what I say, you won’t admit you’re wrong. In your heart, you’ll always believe you were right."
Kong Sheng shook his head and let out a heavy sigh.
"Ding Chen, you murdered a fellow disciple, framed the Dragon Race, and sabotaged the pact between the World of Ten Thousand Laws and the North Sea. These are capital offenses. However, the great war is imminent, and as an Immortal Realm Cultivator, you must be put to use. Starting today, you are to go and stand guard at the Great Wall of China.
When the war is over, if you are still alive, I will personally carry out your execution.
Do you have any objections?"
Ding Chen took a deep breath, then turned to leave. "There will be no need for you to act, Palace Master. I would rather die on the battlefield killing more Demons!"
Kong Sheng watched Ding Chen’s retreating figure, then turned to the ten pale-faced Sect Leaders standing on the surface of the sea. He gave each of them an Elixir to help them mend their wounds.
Kong Sheng said calmly, "The war between the Human and Demon Races will certainly break out within three months. Let us put today’s matter aside. All of you are to go and stand guard at the Great Wall of China as well. Are there any objections?"
"We obey the Alliance Leader’s command."
Although they all responded in unison, their expressions were incredibly grim.
They had come to the North Sea believing they would find a great opportunity, but in the end, they had gained nothing at all.
They couldn’t even access the treasury of the North Sea Dragon Palace.
As long as Bai Ruxue lived, the seals on the Dragon Palace’s treasury could not be broken; otherwise, all the treasures inside would be annihilated along with the Array.
In the end, not only had they gained nothing, but they were also severely injured, and their sects had lost a great deal of high-level combat strength.
But there was nothing they could say.
A year ago, the World of Ten Thousand Laws had held a council for the Human Race Alliance, and the Palace Master of the Confucian Academy was chosen to be the Alliance Leader.
They had to obey his orders.
Furthermore, if the Palace Master of the Confucian Academy hadn’t rushed over, they feared they all would have been dead by now.
Kong Sheng watched them gradually disappear over the horizon and couldn’t help but shake his head.
’If the North Sea manages to rise again,’ he thought, ’every single one of these sects will face difficult times. It’s not impossible that some will even be annihilated.’
...
「Two days later.」
When Xiao Mo descended from the sky, he found himself on a mountain peak in the Desolate Land.
"Master, you’re back! Oh? Mr. Xiao? Miss Bai, how did she get hurt so badly?"
When Li Sisi saw Bai Ruxue’s face, as pale as paper, and the shocking wounds on her body, she gasped and covered her mouth.
"Prepare the Dragon Breath Pill and the Hundred Herbs Pill. Also, bring out the Ten Thousand Year Snow Lotus and draw a few basins of water from the Nourishing Spirit Spring. I need to treat Ruxue’s injuries," Daoist Master Fuchen said to Sisi.
"Yes, Master! I’ll go right away!"
Li Sisi quickly ran into a small room nearby.
"I will need to remove Miss Bai’s clothes in a moment. Mr. Xiao, please wait outside," Daoist Master Fuchen said as he carried Bai Ruxue into the room.
Xiao Mo could only watch as Li Sisi went in and out of the room repeatedly.
Each time she went in, she carried a basin of clear Nourishing Spirit Spring water. When she came out, the water in the basin was a startling, bloody red.
A full hour passed before Daoist Master Fuchen finally emerged from the room.
Looking at Xiao Mo, Daoist Master Fuchen gave a Daoist salute. "I have yet to formally introduce myself, Mr. Xiao. My name is Fuchen, and I am a good friend of Miss Bai’s. Sisi is my disciple.
Miss Bai’s condition has stabilized for now.
But this is merely a temporary solution. The Evil Qi from the Dragon-slaying Sword has already seeped into Miss Bai’s bone marrow.
Over time, the Evil Qi in her body will grow more and more severe.
When that time comes, not only will her life be in danger, but the torment from the backlash of the bone-deep Evil Qi will make her experience a fate worse than death..."
"Daoist Master Fuchen, is there a way to dispel the Evil Qi?" Xiao Mo asked.
"Yes."
Daoist Master Fuchen nodded.
"But it all depends on you, Mr. Xiao."
