--- Chapter 194 --- 

Baek Ain's current self is different. His hazel-gold eyes were stained with killing intent, burning with a menacing red light.

Completed with his wildly dancing black hair in the air, he seems to be a very manifestation of a wild beast.

The black-robed elder feels like he is facing a literal god of death.

Before anyone could react, Baek Ain moved and stabbed his spear. It was a fast and decisive thrust, filled with extreme momentum.

[Spear-Blade Orbit]

A blinding light filled everyone's vision as the black-robed elder got sent flying like a ragdoll.

Gu Xun'er and Luo Bingbing covered their ears instinctively because they could feel a loud explosion coming next.

BOOM!

A pillar of white energy made from chilling Blade Intent rose, tearing the ground and atmosphere apart.

Shockwaves washed the area, pulling countless ancient tall trees off the ground.

[Ding! You have killed a Dou Saint]

[Soul Protection(Innate) activated]

[Ding! You have obtained Passive Skill: Terrestrial Sense(F) and Active Skill: Dark Hound(A)]

Baek Ain ignored the system notifications and stared at the other members of the Hall of Souls.

He brandished his spear and began slaughtering them one by one, making himself look like a vengeful demon.

Gu Xun'er clutched her pained hand and stared at the back of her teacher warmly. This scenery might look terrifying to others, but Gu Xun'er felt relieved and touched when Baek Ain avenged her.

Yes, only her teacher would do something like this for her.

Her teacher is not like a 'certain' scumbag who abandoned her when she was useless.

'Husband is so cool!' Luo Bingbing's eyes glittered with admiration.

After killing every Hall of Souls member in the area, Baek Ain blew hot air off his chest and clenched his fist. He grabbed a round-looking object from one of the corpses and injected his Dou Qi.

"Listen up, Hall of Souls."

"I will be coming to your front door in three days. Wash your neck because I hope they are clean enough for my blade..."

Baek Ain crushed the communication device into pieces and placed Roc's Spine on his back. He turned around and spotted Gu Xun'er sitting on the grass, staring at him tearfully.

His heart melts for a second, recalling one of his hundred reincarnations.

However, he shook his head gently and regained his composure quickly because he couldn't let those past experiences muddle his mind.

Baek Ain's hate toward the Hall of Souls wasn't from his reincarnation with Gu Xun'er alone. There are countless experiences when those scums messed with his loved ones.

He walked to Gu Xun'er and offered his hand, "Are you okay, Xun'er?"

"Mm, I'm fine. Although my strength isn't something to be proud of, I'm not weak enough for those people to bully me too much." Gu Xun'er replied calmly, wiping her tears away.

"Thank you, teacher."

Baek Ain smiled and patted her head, "Let's go and meet the others."

A wormhole was 'quickly' made with Baek Ain's spatial strength.

Gu Xun'er nodded and followed Baek Ain. Her eyes wandered to Luo Bingbing, wondering who this woman was.

"Teacher, she is..." Gu Xun'er grabbed the corner of Baek Ain's robe.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Baek Ain glanced at Luo Bingbing and answered, "She's our new companion. I met her by chance."

"Hello, my name is Luo Binging." Luo Bingbing tried to be as friendly as possible toward Gu Xun'er, which made things somewhat awkward.

"Hello." Gu Xun'er responded, staring at Luo Bingbing vigilantly.

Gu Xun'er couldn't gauge Luo Bingbing's strength, as if she wasn't coming from this world. It alarmed her deeply.

But since Baek Ain doesn't say anything, Gu Xun'er trusted his decision to accept Luo Bingbing into the group.

'I don't know about others, though.' Gu Xun'er believed her senior sisters wouldn't take this easily.

As they entered the wormhole, Baek Ain tore another one and connected it swiftly. It allowed them to travel from one distance to another.

...

On a barren mountainside, Huo Zhi and Yao Ling'er stood beside each other and fought against magical beasts in the area. Their cultivation and strength have experienced a qualitative change after experiencing the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's trials.

"Where is our teacher?" Yao Ling'er grumbled as blue arcs of lightning danced around her body.

Huo Zhi punched down a magical beast with her fiery fist and responded in annoyance, "You have asked that question 185 times already. Stop."

Yao Ling'er pouted and blinked her eyes, witnessing a wormhole appear out of nowhere.

Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi became wary of this sudden event. Still, a smile blossomed on their beautiful faces when they saw a familiar-looking man in a black robe.

"Teacher!" 2x.

They act like innocent children, which is a contrast to the scenery around them. After all, countless magical beasts' corpses are littering the mountainside.

They ran toward Baek Ain, showcasing their new cultivation bases.

Baek Ain rubbed their heads affectionately and said, "Good, it seems the trial gives you tremendous benefits."

"In no time, you should be able to reach Half-Saint Realm or even the Dou Saint Realm itself."

"Mm!" Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi agreed with Baek Ain's words. After the trials, they also obtained Bodhisattva's Seeds that could help them pry their paths into the Dou Saint Realm.

CRACK!

Everyone on the floating island suddenly felt a tremor.

"Oh, no! The floating island is going to break!"

"Everyone, hurry up. RUN!"

Baek Ain's senses caught Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's condition and commented, "Well, someone is impatient."

He stared at his disciples and asked, "Have you met with Lin Qing or the Pill Tower's groups?"

Gu Xun'er opened her mouth and replied, "No. I got chased by the Hall of Souls' members as soon as I was 'forcibly' ejected from the trials."

"You what??" Yao Ling'er and Huo Zhi were shocked.

"Are you okay?" They worriedly checked for any injuries on Gu Xun'er.

Gu Xun'er giggled and continued, "Don't worry. Teacher Lin arrived in time and killed them all."

Yao Ling'er sighed in relief, "Thanks god."

"Yeah, thank god indeed." Huo Zhi felt her junior sister was lucky.

Baek Ain rubbed his forehead helplessly, "Answer my question first."

"Ah, yes. We haven't seen anyone from the Pill Tower so far." Yao Ling'er fumbled around with her fingers. "As soon as I got out of the trials, the first person I met was Huo Zhi."

"Same goes with me, teacher." Huo Zhi followed.

Baek Ain frowned because Bodhisattva Ancient Tree said his companions would be on the north part of the floating island. But how little that narrowed the area down?

He sighed, "The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree should specify the location more."

But to Baek Ain's surprise, his sense caught some familiar presences approaching from afar.

He lifted his head and saw three graceful figures from the distance.

A wave of relief washed Baek Ain's body and soul. They are safe.

Qing Lin, Yi Xian, and Lan Rou landed on the mountainside. They stared at Baek Ain and felt a much deeper connection with him.

"Welcome back." Baek Ain said with a smiling face.

Qing Lin jumped and hugged Baek Ain tightly, crying a bit because of her experience in the Bodhisattva Ancient Tree's Trials.

Yi Xian and Lan Rou would also like to hug Baek Ain, but they knew the time and location weren't right. They hardly maintained self-control at the moment.

After a few seconds, the groups from Ancient Clans and Beast Tribes also arrived on the mountainside.

"What actually happened in the trials?" Gu Yuan couldn't help but ask Baek Ain.

Luo Bingbing awkwardly lowered her head.

Baek Ain stared at Gu Yuan and answered, "The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree was looking for candidates to save this plane. We arrived at the right time, faced the trials, and obtained handsome rewards."

"If I'm not wrong, everyone should have received Bodhisattva's Seed, right?"

"Yeah, that's true." Yao Dan murmured.

Huo Ling's expression darkened as she questioned, "But for what?"

"Don't tell me there would be a great calamity that fell upon this world?"

"I don't know." Baek Ain kept a calm face. "Well, that matter aside, let's get out of this place first."

"The Bodhisattva Ancient Tree would teleport this floating island away and enter a long hibernation. If we stayed here, we would get trapped forever... "

Hearing this, everyone agreed to Baek Ain's words and got away from the floating island. As they landed at the top of Pill Tower, the floating island wrapped by spatial strength vanished from their sight.

SWOOOSH! DING!

"That was close..." Yao Dan sucked a cold breath.

Baek Ain chuckled, "Yeah."

Even if they got trapped on the floating island, Baek Ain was confident he could get them out with his power.
