Bai Sha said only this one sentence, then proceeded to open every cage.
Upon seeing this, the many Demon Cultivators finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They hurriedly left the cages one after another.
“Many thanks to Senior for the rescue. We will always remember this life-saving grace.”
“May I ask Senior’s honored name? I wish to remember Senior forever.”
“Senior, if there is ever a chance in the future, I will surely repay this life-saving kindness.”
Each of the Demon Cultivators, upon emerging, spoke to Bai Sha with deep respect.
Bai Sha nodded slightly, accepting their gratitude. When some Demon Cultivators asked her name, she saw no need to conceal it.
The last cage she opened was the very one she had occupied in her third life.
Bai Sha did not say much to the Tiger-Striped Seal and the Profound Water Turtle, merely telling them to leave on their own. But she made Yu Manman stay.
“Sen… Senior, do you have any instructions?” Yu Manman looked nervously at Bai Sha.
Purple Horn Electric Eels had thick, black, elongated bodies with a single purple horn atop their heads.
Right now, Yu Manman was tense, wondering why Bai Sha had singled her out. This was a Demon Core Stage Demon Cultivator, an existence far more powerful than even her own father.
Bai Sha smiled faintly. “No need to be nervous. I just need your help with a small matter.”
“What matter does Senior require my service for?”
“You have already joined the Demon Alliance, correct?”
“Yes.”
“Good. Then you will recommend me to join the Demon Alliance.”
“Eh? Senior hasn’t joined the Demon Alliance yet?”
“I have not.”
“That… I understand. That will naturally be no problem.”
Yu Manman quickly agreed, but she was thoroughly surprised inside.
Bai Sha had already cultivated to the Demon Core Stage, yet still hadn’t joined the Demon Alliance?
This was utterly inconceivable to Yu Manman. After all, the benefits of joining the Demon Alliance were too numerous, something no Demon Cultivator could afford to miss out on. How could there be a Demon Cultivator who reached the Demon Core Stage without joining?
But today, she had broadened her horizons.
“Let’s go.”
Bai Sha did not waste any time. Prompting her once, she turned and left.
Yu Manman hurriedly followed.
This life, Bai Sha had chosen to let Yu Manman recommend her instead of seeking out Yin Sha. This was also because of some complicated feelings she held.
The current Yin Sha didn’t know her.
And she… was already a Demon Core Stage cultivator.
Were a Demon Core Stage cultivator to appear before Yin Sha, who was still at the Late Qi Condensation Stage now… what sort of attitude would Yin Sha adopt towards her?
Respect?
Awe?
Fear?
Bai Sha didn’t know, but she understood that in this life, she could not interact with Yin Sha the way they once had.
No, to be precise, as long as she chose to return to the First Save in the future, she would never be able to communicate with Yin Sha normally again.
Her relationship with Yin Sha could only continue from the Second Save onwards.
That was why she hadn’t sought Yin Sha out.
This life… was a life without Yin Sha.
Harboring these complicated thoughts, Bai Sha took Yu Manman and left the Coral Abyss.
As it happened, just after leaving the Coral Abyss, Bai Sha looked up and saw a group of fish-type Demon Cultivators swimming by not far away.
These fish cultivators all had crimson bodies and long snouts. They were undoubtedly Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
“What a coincidence.”
Bai Sha immediately swam towards the Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
From her third life onwards, she had held grudges against the Bloodthirsty Swordfish across many lives. Seeing them again this time, she naturally wouldn’t pretend not to notice.
As Bai Sha approached, the Bloodthirsty Swordfish naturally noticed her too, and stopped.
“Demon Core Stage… Senior, do you have any instructions?”
The leader of the Bloodthirsty Swordfish was precisely Jian Yun, a Bloodthirsty Swordfish Bai Sha had killed using various methods across many lives.
But truth be told, Bai Sha had never personally finished off Jian Yun with her own fins before.
Hearing Jian Yun’s words now, Bai Sha smiled slightly. “Nothing much. I just wanted a technique called the ‘Vast Sea Scripture’. What an extraordinary technique it is, even split into three, becoming the ‘Raging Waves Art’, ‘Tide Riding Technique’, and ‘Surging Waves Art’.”
Jian Yun’s expression changed dramatically upon hearing this.
He hadn’t anticipated Bai Sha would reveal such information. This intel was undoubtedly a colossal secret to the Bloodthirsty Swordfish.
Those who knew their secrets, according to their custom, must be silenced!
At this thought, a murderous glint flashed in Jian Yun’s eyes, but he immediately remembered the disparity in strength between them and quickly lowered his head.
To deal with this Great White Shark before him, he would need Lord Jian Hu to make a move.
Bai Sha looked at Jian Yun with a beaming smile. “Are you thinking about how to kill me right now?”
a life without yin sha is so sad : (
