In alolden lightning bolt distorted, and a reen robe, an i without being angry, and had such profound energy that he could be none other than the Celestial!

“Youlast, I’ve found you!” S excitedly, the Celestial blurred into host face let out a piercing cry; he knew that he couldn’t escape this fight, and therefore, he charged directly into battle

In the shortest ofout

Bai Xiaochun had just barely escaped with his life, and yet, wasn’t happy about that at all In fact, coldness gripped his heart He couldn’t stop thinking about how unhappy Du Lingfei seee

Just now… the Celestial had efei Furthermore, she had said that he was “already here” That in turn seemed to imply that the Celestial had intentionally allowed both of theer within that black sht

Clearly… he had been after a chance to strike at the ghost face

And that opportunity… orthreached this point in his train of thought, Bai Xiaochun looked over at Du Lingfei, and could see the bitter disappointment in her eyes

Much of what Bai Xiaochun knew about the Celestial was only speculation and conjecture But as the inally assumed that her father really had sent her and Bai Xiaochun into the north to find out the truth about whether her Eldest Sister was alive or not

But now, she realized that the matter of her Eldest Sister had apparently been secondary in importance The Celestial had thrown both her and Bai Xiaochun out as bait to try to reel in the ghost face froh she couldn’t be sure why her father thought that she and Bai Xiaochun would be enough to entice the ghost face, clearly, it had worked

“Father,” she thought, “everything you do is to leave this world But… is it all worth it? Is the fei felt like her heart was being torn apart as she watched her father fighting the ghost face

By now, the Celestial’s injuries had recovered significantly, and for soet the upper hand Snorting coldly, the Celestial advanced and said, “It wasn’t easy tracking you down Don’t even think about trying to get away!”

The ghost face chuckled coldly “Using your own flesh and blood to lureambitious and ruthless!”

“Yeah? So what?!” Apparently, the Celestial didn’t see anything wrong at all with using his daughter the way he had After all, she was still alive And the enighost face was al

He was absolutely deter Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei as bait orth it Not only did he plan to use the ghost face to co of the world beyond, but he also hoped to refine hiive hiravekeeper to open the Worldgate If not, perhaps the knowledge he gained would allow him to do that on his own

The truth was that the Celestial had been overcoalleon left And the fact that the ghost face had stayed behind of his own initiative gave hi to the final hing-crying ghost face rose higher and higher into the sky as they fought, and also began to move off into the distance, until they weren’t even visible

At that point, the screa wind that battered the ice plain finally died down, and everything went calm

However, Bai Xiaochun simply could not calm his heart and fei Sighing, he walked over, slorapped his arms around her and picked her up

She went stiff at first, but as she felt the wared into his arms, as if from exhaustion

“He was never like this before…” sheBai Xiaochun to sigh

After a while, she see up at him, she softly said, “What do you think, Xiaochun? Is it really that important to leave this world?”

“I don’t really know…” he said, shaking his head “But I do know that if it were me, I wouldn’t want to leave I like the lands of Heavenspan, and I even like the Wildlands Why the hell would I want to leave?” He spoke the truth from the bottom of his heart The Celestial made it seem like the lands of Heavenspan were a prison that he couldn’t wait to escape from, an attitude that Bai Xiaochun just couldn’t understand

As far as he was concerned, as long as he had enough longevity, and had his friends and family with him, then the lands of Heavenspan onderful… Furthermore, Ghoste and dangerous place

Why would anyone want to juh, to be fair, Bai Xiaochun also felt like the gravekeeper was being a bit unreasonable If the Celestial wanted to leave, why not just open the Worldgate for hifei smiled in response to his words, a beautiful sht As the ht fell down onto them, surrounded as they were by ice, it was a lovely scene

“I don’t want to leave here either,” she murmured “I’m the same as you I just want peace and quiet, and my friends and family A simple life…

“Except… I don’t even have any friends… Xiaochun, look at le one… And I don’t even knohat my ownin response Holding her even tighter, he began to walk forward aiht

Eventually the sun rose off in the distance, casting its warfei had walked the whole night, but now they stopped in place

All of a sudden, a golden lightning bolt appeared up in the sky, which pierced through the air for a tireen robe

The Celestial had returned!

He held a ball of black s-crying ghost face It did not struggle, and could not escape Clearly, his efforts to capture the thing had been a success The Celestial’s expression was grihtly as he scanned the area with divine sense until he located Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei

It was only after capturing the laughing-crying ghost face that the Celestial realized he wasn’t complete It was only a soulclone!

The true soul was still host face was a profound scheh he had been somewhat moved by the bait the Celestial had cast out, he had still decided to rely on a secret ic to split off part of hih the Celestial had successfully captured the soulclone, he had also alerted his eneet the true soul Further, his opponent would re, and would make sure not to leave any clues as to his location

However, at least he had not coh the soulclone wasn’t a cohts on his mind, the Celestial took a deep breath and looked down at Bai Xiaochun and Du Lingfei Waving his hand, he sent a , Bai Xiaochun slowly reached out to grab it

“Don’t think too much into it,” the Celestial said “It’s just a coo back to the Nine Heavens Cloud Lightning Sect and use their teleportation portal to return to the eastern Heavenspan region”

With that, he ignored Bai Xiaochun and turned his gaze to Du Lingfei

“Let’s go, Fei’er,” he said softly

Du Lingfei hesitated for a htly, she said her goodbyes

However, Bai Xiaochun refused to siritted his teeth and said, “Celestial, Feifei and I–”

Before he could finish speaking, the Celestial’s eyes glittered with cold light, and he interrupted, “I knohat you want to say You want hter here with you Unfortunately, you don’t qualify We can talk about it when you’re a deod!” With that, he turned and vanished into thin air

Du Lingfei shook her head and took a deep breath to calm her heart Then she followed the Celestial and vanished into thin air

Bai Xiaochun stood there for a while, co hihter of the Celestial, Du Lingfei would have a very high standing, and as a result, plenty of happiness
