After a long while like this, Wang Donglian finally retracted her attention and questioned, “You truly have no idea why you were captured, right?”
“That’s right. I don’t recall ever offending the Flying Immortal Sect,” Bai Sha affirmed.
“It’s normal not to recall. The Killing Seal can only be sensed by members of our Flying Immortal Sect. You naturally wouldn’t be able to detect it.” Wang Donglian’s face was expressionless.
Killing Seal?
What was that?
Wang Donglian continued, “Your Killing Seal was left by Senior Brother Zhao Wuwang. What happened over there?”
“Zhao Wuwang? Who is that?” Bai Sha didn’t understand.
“A Nascent Soul Cultivator, male.” Wang Donglian looked at Bai Sha as she spoke.
Nascent Soul Cultivator?
Nascent Soul?
In Bai Sha’s mind, a flash of inspiration passed. All the fog of mystery was finally unveiled, leaving her suddenly enlightened.
Her Supreme Dao Foundation had come from the Sea Spirit Ruins. There, an Nascent Soul Cultivator, extremely weakened for some unknown reason, had tried to lure in cultivators to body-snatch and relive a new life. But back then, Bai Sha had brought two Demon Core-level Talisman Papers with her. Relying on the talisman papers, she had directly annihilated the other party, obtaining the Top-grade Dao Foundation Sea Spirit Pearl and thus achieving Foundation Establishment cultivation.
That Nascent Soul Cultivator who wanted to body-snatch her was Zhao Wuwang?
Before dying, that guy secretly left some Killing Seal on her body?
And this Killing Seal would be detected by Flying Immortal Sect disciples when near them?
So she had been targeted the very moment she arrived at the Flying Immortal Sect?
Understood.
Bai Sha understood everything completely now.
Only a surge of bitterness rose from the bottom of her heart. She would never have imagined that her path in this life would overturn in this place.
Coming to the Flying Immortal Sect was practically delivering herself right to their door.
“You’ve remembered?” Wang Donglian looked at Bai Sha and asked.
Bai Sha was a Great White Shark, so Wang Donglian couldn’t perceive any expression change on Bai Sha’s face. But she felt her hint was sufficient.
A Foundation Establishment Demon Cultivator—how many Nascent Soul Cultivators could she possibly have had dealings with? That was enough for her to figure it out.
Thus, Wang Donglian continued, “That cultivator you encountered, what happened to him? Why did he die?”
When she asked this, a hint of sorrow showed in Wang Donglian’s eyes.
Zhao Wuwang was a fairly talented disciple of the Flying Immortal Sect. He had once been her Senior Brother, and had even been the object of her admiration all along.
She had once thought that when her cultivation approached Zhao Wuwang’s, she would confess her feelings to him. Perhaps they would have the chance to become Dao companions and journey on the great path of cultivation together.
But reality was always much harder than one imagined.
Once, Zhao Wuwang went out on a task and never returned.
She waited for a very, very long time, but no matter how long she waited, Zhao Wuwang did not come back.
Many people said Zhao Wuwang was already dead.
Hearing it enough times, she also felt that Zhao Wuwang was likely dead.
Such things were very common in the Cultivation World. Someone always left on a trip and never came back.
Parting sorrow was the main theme of the Cultivation World.
But Wang Donglian never imagined that when she had already given up yearning for that Senior Brother, information about him would once again appear before her eyes.
But why, of all things, did it have to appear in the form of a Killing Seal?
The Flying Immortal Sect had a rule that the Killing Seal must be cast only when certain that one’s own death was unavoidable. Therefore, leaving a Killing Seal meant that one had completely perished.
And the target of the Killing Seal had to be one’s enemy. This was so the Flying Immortal Sect could take revenge!
Wang Donglian hadn’t directly killed Bai Sha, primarily because Bai Sha’s cultivation was right there in front of her.
Foundation Establishment (Late).
This was Bai Sha’s cultivation level.
A Foundation Establishment (Late) Demon Cultivator, by what right could she kill a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator?
Therefore, Wang Donglian needed to ask about the situation and understand more of the inside story.
Even if Bai Sha wasn’t the one who directly killed Zhao Wuwang, she probably understood the circumstances. Otherwise, the Killing Seal had no reason to appear on Bai Sha.
Bai Sha looked at Wang Donglian.
From the other party’s words, she could understand that the other party had already confirmed Zhao Wuwang’s death and now wanted to know the circumstances before his death.
She absolutely could not honestly recount this matter.
If she told the truth, then once she finished confessing, it would be her time to die, because Zhao Wuwang was precisely the one she had killed using the Demon Core-level Talisman Papers!
Although the initial cause was Zhao Wuwang trying to body-snatch her and being counter-killed, would Wang Donglian spare her because of that?
Bai Sha felt she wouldn’t.
