Find another way

“System, is there truly no way for me to intervene in Bai Ling’s matter?” Zhong Qing communicated with the System in his mind, asking in a deep voice.

He, as Bai Ling’s future master, watched her being hunted down, feeling anxious and helpless.

Despite his anxiety, there was nothing he could do.

This left him feeling somewhat uneasy.

“If the Host forcibly interferes, Bai Ling might be unharmed, but it will affect the physique she obtains.”

“Such an action is highly likely to prevent the bond from activating. Please wait patiently, Host!”

The System’s words caused Zhong Qing’s heart to sink.

So far, he had activated two bonds.

One was the Waste Bond, and the other was the Overlord Body Bond.

Regardless of which one, both had brought about earth-shattering changes to his strength.

He was determined to obtain the bond physique that Bai Ling would activate.

However, if he intervened, he might lose the chance to activate the bond, which was unacceptable to him.

Yet, if he didn’t intervene, he couldn’t bear to watch Bai Ling fall into danger without doing anything.

Was there truly no way to have the best of both worlds?

Zhong Qing was deep in thought.

“System, am I unable to directly protect Bai Ling?”

“Yes!”

“Nor can I eliminate Bai Ling’s enemies?”

“Yes!”

“It is said that among the Three Thousand Great Daos, there is always a path for escape, and everything has a glimmer of hope.”

“Is it possible that there’s truly no solution at all?”

“In any case, the Host cannot protect Bai Ling directly or clear her enemies!”

The conversation with the System gave Zhong Qing a headache.

However, very quickly, his eyes lit up.

A smile spread across his lips.

“System, if I were to move that True Demon Inheritance to another location, would it affect Bai Ling’s karmic line?”

His idea was simple.

Since he couldn’t directly intervene, instead of letting his good disciple trek through mountains and rivers into danger, he might as well move the True Demon Inheritance site directly in front of her, which could also reduce the risks his disciple would encounter.

“As long as the Host does not directly protect Bai Ling or eliminate her enemies for her, other things will not have a significant impact.”

The System’s words startled Zhong Qing.

Since this was permissible, he naturally didn’t want to delay another moment.

The sooner he accomplished this, the less hardship his future disciple would face.

Thinking of this, he ended his communication with the System.

His gaze turned to Du Hao.

“Your Senior Sister is currently undergoing a tribulation. It’s inconvenient for me to directly intervene, but I must do something for her.”

“You can find a place to cultivate on your own. After I finish my task, I will come to find you!”

“This is a Teleportation Jade Slip. If anything happens, you can contact me at any time!”

Zhong Qing gave him a universal communication jade slip.

This item was a hard currency in the cultivation world.

It wasn’t common, but it wasn’t hard to find either.

Zhong Qing had engaged in many acts of looting corpses, and he had stored quite a few communication jade slips in his Small World.

Giving one to Du Hao would make it convenient for future contact.

“Master, please go quickly!”

“I will await Master’s news.”

Du Hao took the jade slip, clearly more anxious than Zhong Qing.

He didn’t know that Bai Ling was protected by a Scarecrow, only that the North Demon Cave was extremely powerful.

Although he and Bai Ling didn’t have much interaction, they were fellow disciples, so he naturally couldn’t bear for her to be in trouble.

Zhong Qing didn’t delay either.

After a few instructions, he transformed into a streak of light and soared into the sky, departing.

At the same time, he sent a message to Hei Bai, telling him to rendezvous with Du Hao.

...

With Zhong Qing’s current speed, traveling tens of thousands of miles a day was no big deal.

Just like that, he once again headed north.

For three consecutive days, he was on the road.

During this time, he passed by many places.

The matter concerning Bai Ling was now causing a huge stir.

After all, she herself possessed the True Demon bloodline and had intricate connections with the North Demon Cave.

Now, the True Demon Inheritance was also appearing.

Among these three, each could stir the nerves of the world.

Each, for the people, was an extremely explosive existence.

The combination of the three sparked countless discussions.

If this world had trending topics.

Bai Ling, the North Demon Cave, and the True Demon Inheritance would definitely be the current hot topics, ranking at the top.

Whenever he heard that Bai Ling was being hunted by so-and-so, Zhong Qing’s face would darken a bit.

If he could, he truly wished he could fly to Bai Ling’s side and eliminate all invading enemies.

Of course, what he could do now was to quickly find the True Demon Inheritance site.

And move it in front of Bai Ling.

Other than that, he could do nothing else.

On this day, Zhong Qing arrived at the edge of the extreme north.

This was a stretch of dark frozen earth.

The entire land was filled with dark and obscure aura.

Mountains collapsed, cracks covered the earth, and demonic energy ran rampant.

Everywhere was filled with an aura of decay and ruin.

Dense death qi permeated the air, without a trace of life or vitality.

This was where the True Demon Inheritance was located!

It was said that this area was originally a place of spiritual beauty and outstanding talents, a rare blessed land.

However, long ago, a battle between gods and demons erupted here.

That battle was earth-shattering, obscuring the sun and moon.

After the battle, mountains and rivers were shattered, and even the sun, moon, and Prison Stars were destroyed.

Finally, the True Demon was defeated and perished here.

This place then became the Demon’s Burial Ground.

Also known as the Divine Demon Battlefield.

Or the True Demon’s Burial Ground.

The Demon Suppressing Land!

In this world, there were countless myths and legends, and many stories.

Zhong Qing had learned about this place from ancient texts.

He used to think that the ancient texts exaggerated the strength of such mythical legends.

But it was only when he saw it with his own eyes that he realized it wasn’t an exaggeration; on the contrary, the description was too conservative.

Looking around.

Mountains were broken, and wreckage was everywhere.

If Zhong Qing hadn’t misidentified it, one of the fragments, with a diameter of a thousand zhang, was the remnant of a planet.

When one’s cultivation reached a certain level, chasing stars and pursuing the sun, destroying heaven and earth, truly ceased to be a legend and became a real, existing scene that could be brought into reality.

Not only that, as a Three Yang First Realm expert, he could feel that there was a big problem with this space.

Perhaps that battle between gods and demons was too tragic.

Even the laws of heaven and earth were broken, causing this space to be devoid of spiritual energy and filled with demonic energy, becoming a true land of absolute desolation.

The battlefield was filled with rolling malevolent energy and killing intent.

In many places, foul blood stained the earth.

That blood carried soaring battle intent, churning the void and shattering the sky.

The powerful battle intent, even after being washed away by long periods of time, could still make people feel their hearts pound.

Such a place was fraught with danger.

It was not an exaggeration to call it a forbidden zone of death.

The True Demon had perished so many years ago, why had no one dared to claim his inheritance?

The danger of this place was one of the main reasons.

Even an ordinary Heavenly Profound expert entering it might face the risk of perishing within an hour or two.

However, for Zhong Qing.

As someone in the Three Yang Realm, he had ample confidence to travel freely in this place.

His divine sense swept across the area!

He wanted to confirm the true location of the True Demon Inheritance.

However, to Zhong Qing’s surprise, his usually unfailing divine sense had lost its effectiveness.

Under the influence of the demonic energy, his divine sense, which could normally see a thousand li away, now couldn’t even see a thousand meters away.

Since divine sense was useless, Zhong Qing could only go in and see the situation.

Without much hesitation, he stepped forward and directly entered this forbidden land of absolute desolation, which ordinary people would dread upon hearing its name.
