The sickly girl is killing her way through the weird world

It wasn't some demon, nor was it someone Zhuangzi had previously helped the pig demon in his evil deeds; it was Liu Si, who was probably the one most afraid of Bai Qian.

Without any particular reason, anyone who sees someone who looks like a beautiful woman but moves more terrifyingly than any demon would be afraid.

He was naturally very grateful, and asked Bai Qian what she wanted, but Bai Qian was too lazy to answer him.

Bai Qian has no interest in people's gratitude whatsoever; in fact, it might be less valuable to her than a piece of pork rib.

Human gratitude should generate incense offerings, but Bai Qian has already made up her mind not to absorb incense offerings. Even if she were to collect incense offerings, she would intend to steal them.

Incense offerings can influence the behavior and even the personality of the deities themselves. This is clearly expressed in the deduction, and even if Bai Qian's comprehension is not strong, she can still see it.

If they need incense offerings, they'll just steal them.

Bai Qian sat in a chair, resting her chin on her hand and gazing at the sky outside the window.

What Bai Yao said that morning gave her a slight clue.

Divine will requires the aura of a deity, which means that the moment one decides to advance to become divine will, one's own power is completely subject to the deity.

That's quite clear.

Bai Qian would never do that, so the path to advancing to the Divine Will through conventional means is blocked. The information about the Divine Will that Tong Hui mentioned is actually the records of some gods in Changcheng Prefecture of the county.

However, according to Bai Yao, these records are inaccurate because the gods have changed in recent years.

All the changes were bad, as if they had changed overnight. Bloodlust, cannibalism, blood sacrifice... these gods seemed to have transformed into another kind of bizarre form, or rather, they were simply bizarre.

If we don't consider this method of advancement, we can only look at the deduced situation. [Calamity God] and [End] are most likely unusable, as they are genuine monsters, not gods. So we can only look at the Earth God.

To advance to divine will by relying on the earth god, or rather... to find other paths.

Bai Qian stared at the panel, contemplating which of the two paths to choose from.

"We've arrived," Zhao Lin, who was driving the carriage, suddenly said, stopping the carriage.

"Miss, they won't let us into the city." After Zhao Lin stopped the carriage, he chatted with a few soldiers guarding the city gate for a few minutes before returning to say this.

Pei Huan, who was idly fiddling with her hair, was taken aback by what she heard and got out of the car to see what was going on.

Bai Qian tilted her head slightly and looked over there. The path they came from led to the side gate of Bai Feng City. At this moment, several soldiers in leather armor were standing at the side gate, holding spears and guarding the city gate.

No one else was passing through the side door, so it seemed rather empty.

After Pei Huan arrived, he chatted with the soldiers for a few minutes, and his previously cheerful expression suddenly turned sour.

She returned to the carriage, her face clearly looking rather unpleasant.

"The government won't let us in?" Bai Yao asked.

Pei Huan shook her head.

"This isn't a big deal; it can be solved with money. The problem is..."

"The evil tide is coming."

Bai Qian raised her head.

"Isn't it going to take a few more days?" Bai Yao's expression froze upon hearing this.

"The soldiers guarding the city said that those ghostly things have already approached and will probably surround Baifeng City the day after tomorrow," Pei Huan said helplessly.

It was something that was completely unexpected.

"What does the government plan to do?" Bai Yao asked, her eyebrows furrowed.

“They’ve simply sealed off Baifeng City, prohibiting both entry and exit, but these people certainly don’t know the specific measures they’ve taken,” Pei Huan replied, shaking his head with a slightly grave expression.

"Is it too late to run now?" Bai Yao hesitated for a moment.

"I'm not going to escape anyway." Pei Huan shook his head. His family's convoy was right there; there was no way he could just run away.

Bai Yao looked at Bai Qian and saw the black-haired girl blink her clear eyes twice with a slight look of confusion.

"what is that?"

Bai Yao rubbed her temples, feeling a slight headache.

"Let's talk to Xiaoqian when we get home. Let's go into the city first."

"Entering the city is no problem." Pei Huan nodded and called out to Zhao Lin in front. Upon hearing this, Zhao Lin drove the carriage through the city gate, and the soldiers stopped trying to stop him.

After entering the city, Pei Huan went directly to the caravan. Bai Qian and Bai Yao did not go with him but simply went home. If there were any plans later, Pei Huan could come and find them.

"Regarding the evil tide, the normal and unified explanation is that it's a disease, a disease similar to a plague," Bai Yao explained to Bai Qian beside him as he pushed open the door.

“Things that get this disease will gradually lose their minds and become madmen. After becoming madmen, they will involuntarily gather together with other beasts or people who have been infected with the evil tide, and then rush towards the next area together.” Bai Yao continued to explain as she gently pushed open the door.

"They will surround the next area, neither rushing in nor allowing people to escape from inside. They will only let the disease representing the evil tide slowly spread in the city until the entire area is infected. When it accumulates to a certain number, it will stop spreading and instead kill each other until everyone dies," Bai Yao explained patiently.

The concept of "evil tide" is actually not difficult to understand; just think of it as a plague that alienates people.

Bai Qian followed Bai Yao into the courtyard.

Bai Qian suddenly stopped walking.

Bai Yao planned to fetch some water to boil for cooking later. Although she knew the bad tide was coming, she still had to eat.

Turning his head to look behind him, he saw Bai Qian slowly walking towards the wall.

He reached out his hand to her.

Suddenly, grayish-brown fur came into view.

She heard a sharp meow.

A sharp shockwave instantly formed in front of him, and Bai Yao could almost picture his skin being sliced ​​open by the shockwave.

A flash of white appeared in her vision, and Bai Qian, who had just been by the wall, appeared beside her, her fingers outstretched.

Her slender, white fingers gripped a sharp claw.

The cat demon in the gray robe paused for a moment.

It used some force.

Its claws remained motionless, as if they were stuck by a mountain.

It refused to believe it and moved its claw with all its might.

The sharp claws and teeth broke off.

Under the girl's dark and unfathomable gaze, it instinctively wanted to run away.

My shoulder was patted lightly.

An irresistible force struck, forcing the cat demon's knees into contact with the ground, where they were instantly shattered and deeply embedded in the earth.

He knelt down before the two of them.

Volume 1: Chapter 79, The Huang Family and the White Phoenix Temple

Bai Qian didn't slap the cat demon to pieces because it was too close to them, and besides, her clothes were quite clean, so if they were torn, they would be splashed all over her and Bai Yao.

Besides, there's no need to kill them outright.

Bai Qian slightly stepped aside, and Bai Yao looked at the cat demon in front of them, her brown eyes darkening for a moment.

"You know him?" Bai Qian touched the cat demon's fur. The cat demon's expression was not good, even somewhat ferocious.

But under those dark, calm eyes, it just knelt there timidly, letting Bai Qian stroke its fur.

It's not comfortable; it's a bit rough.

Bai Yao quietly observed the cat demon.

"I suppose so." Her tone was slightly somber.

"A cat demon specially raised by the Hundred Demon Pavilion." The origin of the cat demon was basically obvious at first glance.

Cat demons are already rare, let alone cat demons with such distinctive features. The cat demons kept by the Hundred Demon Pavilion are specifically there to do dirty work for the pavilion, whether it's assassinating humans or eliminating dissidents.

But what Bai Yao didn't expect was that this group of cat demons would be able to track them all the way here.

She had already guessed that the Hundred Demon Pavilion might turn against her in the future, but she thought it would probably happen after she returned to Liangdu.

"Who sent you?" Bai Yao glanced at the other side of the wall.

The wall that Bai Qian had just walked on now had a lump of flesh on it, which meant that there were actually two cat demons hiding in the courtyard.

The cat demon had no intention of answering the question; it glanced at Bai Yao with its two vertical pupils, its expression gloomy.

If it weren't for the maid next to her, she would have already achieved her goal.

"A tornado?" Bai Qian had already answered for it without it needing to reply.

Bai Yao frowned slightly when she heard the name. She vaguely remembered the name, but only vaguely.

As for their purpose, there's no need to think about it; they were most likely sent to assassinate him.

My current situation is somewhat awkward. To say I'm unimportant, as I'm one of the few remaining heirs of the Bai family, but to say I'm important, I'm really not very useful.

Bai Yao originally thought that they wouldn't care about her.

Seeing Bai Yao frowning in thought, Bai Qian glanced at the cat demon.

He gently tugged at the girl next to him who was deep in thought.

The next moment, flesh and blood splattered outwards like sharp spikes.

With a casual wave of her sleeve, Bai Qian deflected all the fleshy spikes.

It wasn't Bai Qian who did it; the cat demon exploded on its own.

Bai Yao wasn't too surprised to see this scene. After learning that the cat demon in front of her was a demon from the Hundred Demon Pavilion, she was already prepared.

"Let's go inside first," Bai Yao said, rubbing her temples as she noticed Bai Qian's questioning gaze.

Things are getting complicated now. Not to mention the evil tide, these cat demons have also given Bai Yao a heads-up.

I suspect my current situation isn't as safe as I imagined.

Bai Qian glanced at Bai Yao's worried face and couldn't quite understand.

More than that, she was curious about whether the monsters in the raging tide were demons or monsters, and what she would get after defeating them.

"Mmm." Bai Qian nodded gently and followed Bai Yao into the house.

Before entering the house, she noticed that the sky outside was quietly covered by a dark red mist, which seemed to be alive, covering the sky of Bai Fengcheng piece by piece.

An inexplicable aura permeated the entire city, as if an unspeakable monster had opened its mouth, a boundless maw, ready to swallow the whole city whole.

----

"Is everything ready?" Huang Nan asked the old man wearing a pale white phoenix mask as he stood in the dilapidated temple.

Inside the temple is a statue of a woman with six arms, behind her are a pair of outstretched wings, from which arms and eyeballs emerge.

Before the statue of the woman, kneeling was a corpse, its limbs cut off, its face covered with ugly scars, obscuring its nose and mouth.

"That's about enough. Arrest a few more people, and that should be enough," the old man nodded in reply.

“That’s easy to handle. The bad tide is coming soon, and it won’t be long before the whole of Baifeng City is in chaos. When that happens, we can take advantage of the chaos to capture not just a few people, but dozens or even hundreds.” Huang Nan nodded.

"The government will also give us their full support. After all, we have to rely on Lady Bai Feng to survive the raging tide," he continued.

The old man remained silent, but he did seem to agree with Huang Nan's statement.

They have been preparing here for so long, hoping that Lady Bai Feng will truly descend upon this place. Even if it is not her main body, but only a part of her power as an avatar, that would be enough.

In any case, to the gods, a portion of their power is no different from their true form, so helping them, or even the entire Baifeng City, escape from the evil tide is entirely possible.

"Speaking of which, that White Phoenix was killed before. Did you take care of the killer?" the White Phoenix Elder suddenly asked.

Huang Nan shook his head upon hearing this.

"Not yet, because we're still unsure of her background, so we haven't taken any action yet." He wasn't sure how the other party had dealt with Bai Fengren, so even just to be on the safe side, he didn't send anyone to take action directly. He simply contacted the government and had the convoy temporarily detained.

"Then find someone later, bring two White Phoenix people, and capture her. I can sense that the White Phoenix Lady's attitude towards this person is a little strange." The White Phoenix Elder's tone was slightly gloomy.

"Alright." Although Huang Nan didn't really want to provoke them, he did need the White Phoenix Temple's help. In the past two years, they had been able to obtain a higher-than-average percentage, but now, as time went on, this was probably just a precaution.

Things have developed to this point, and the Huang family, Baifeng Temple, and even the local government are all in a bind.

As for another matter...

"That's all for now. I'm planning to start the sacrificial ceremony tomorrow, and I might need you to bring more people over then," the old man Bai Feng said casually, waving his hand.
