Chapter 214: The Vanishing Trail

As for this, Bai He actually was not very sure.

He shook his head and chose to be honest.

This was not something he could lie about.

If the information he gave was inaccurate and something went wrong later, it would be too late.

"In any case, we must go find Senior Brother as soon as possible. When it comes to dealing with great demons, Senior Brother has the most experience."

Bai He nodded.

Deep down, he still felt a bit disappointed and even did not quite agree with Zhou Yifei handling it this way.

But when he thought of that village and the corpses of those people, he still agreed.

As for a thousand year demon core, he could find another way to obtain it.

But right now, dealing with this snake demon was more important.

Because they could not be certain how long Bai He’s freezing power would last, Zhou Yifei set off first, taking Shi Gui with her, while Bai He returned to inform everyone that they could head back to the Lingguang Sect.

Bai He was still somewhat worried.

What if something went wrong along the way?

But Zhou Yifei insisted and he had no choice.

However, Bai He kept feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, yet he could not pinpoint where that unease was coming from.

To avoid complications, Bai He quickly returned.

After informing everyone, they all began preparing.

In just a short while, they mounted their swords and flew.

By the time they returned to the Lingguang Sect, it was already afternoon.

Bai He immediately ran into Yaoxing Peak and found Yao Xiangli.

In fact, when he was at the entrance of the Lingguang Sect, he had already felt that something was wrong.

"Senior Brother?"

"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Has Third Senior Sister returned?"

Yao Xiangli shook his head. "She went to capture a demon. She has not returned so quickly."

Not back yet?

Based on Zhou Yifei’s speed, since they had already returned, there was no way she would not have made it back.

She absolutely should not have been delayed by anything along the way.

"What is wrong with you?"

Bai He’s expression was very off, which made Yao Xiangli feel a sense of caution as well.

"Third Senior Sister took Shi Gui and left ahead of us to return to the Lingguang Sect. I have already come back, but she still has not returned."

Yao Xiangli did not even have time to question why Bai He had been with Zhou Yifei.

He only saw him hurry out in a rush.

Mo Zhu flew around Bai He. "Host, it seems the Third Elder has not returned."

"I harmed Third Senior Sister."

"It is not your fault. If you had not temporarily sealed Shi Gui at that time, the Third Elder would have already been in danger."

Just as Bai He was about to go out, he suddenly sensed something.

He opened his bracelet and took out the small figurine.

Originally, the talisman had already lost its effect, and the figurine would no longer move.

But now, it actually started moving again.

"This is..."

"Host, this should be the Third Elder sending you a signal. As long as the figurine is still moving, the Third Elder will not be in danger."

Yes, Mo Zhu was right.

Xu Feng hurriedly ran in from outside.

Earlier, when Yao Xiangli rushed out, Xu Feng who had been outside had already sensed that something was wrong.

"Master, what happened? Why is the Sect Master in such a hurry?"

"Xiao Feng, Third Senior Sister was taken away by Shi Gui, but the talisman I placed on her has started working again. We can find Third Senior Sister."

Bai He immediately put away the small figurine.

Where could Yao Xiangli have gone?

Most likely, he had gone to the place where Third Senior Sister lived.

Half an hour later, all the elders of the Lingguang Sect had gathered in Yaoxing Peak.

Bai He lowered his head, watching the small figurine still moving, and felt a deep sense of guilt in his heart.

"Second Junior Brother, go with Bai He."

"Yes."

Dan Zhu quickly walked over to Bai He and extended his hand toward him. "Get up."

Bai He took Yang Yu’s hand and stood up. "Second Senior Brother."

"This matter has nothing to do with you. Let us go find Third Junior Sister first."

"Alright."

Bai He carried the small figurine and followed Dan Zhu.

Following the clues given by the figurine, once they determined the direction, everything became much smoother.

Along the way, Bai He told Dan Zhu everything that had happened.

"Xiao Bai, you said just now that you were the one who sealed Shi Gui."

Dan Zhu was naturally very clear about how powerful Shi Gui was.

How could Bai He possibly have such an ability?

"To be honest, in order to complete Sky Cutting Sword’s mission, I previously went to the Frostfall Domain and successfully inheriting the power of the Cryo Sovereign. Because I am not very skilled in using it, that snake demon broke free midway. Third Senior Sister must have been taken away by that snake demon."

"Alright, I understand." Dan Zhu did not blame Bai He in the slightest.

In the first place, he had no obligation to go capture that snake demon.

Zhou Yifei should have made more careful preparations.

Only then would the chances of capturing the snake demon have been greater.

It was because she saw the manor being slaughtered and, in her anger, went to find the snake demon, which gave it an opportunity.

If one had to assign blame, it could only be said that the snake demon was too cunning, or that Zhou Yifei who had been cultivating for so long had actually failed to remain composed.

When they reached the approximate destination, Bai He took out the small figurine once again.

It was still moving, but suddenly, something seemed to emerge from it.

A burst of flame appeared.
