Ming Zhitian spread his hands apart and waved them violently! The "Book of Swords and Records" once again unleashed the Four Divine Swords!
Jade Lin, King Yan, Emperor Slayer, and Seven-Step Flying Sword stood in mid-air. If he willed it, Bai Liuli would immediately be buried in the ground.
Sensing an immense pressure, Bai Liuli finally believed him.
She put away her magical artifact, the Sea Liuli: "So it's true. I believe you. Luo Qi... never leaves the 'Book of Swords and Records' unless he foresees his own death."
Ming Zhitian offered the "Book of Swords and Records": "Since you are the wife of the Immortal Emperor, this 'Book of Swords and Records' rightfully belongs to you."
Bai Liuli was slightly taken aback and smiled: "So many people fought tooth and nail to obtain it, yet you're just handing it over to me?"
Ming Zhitian nodded: "My master, Sheng, wished to see the 'Book of Swords and Records' once. I have fulfilled his wish, and have no regrets in this life. It... simply returns to its rightful owner, nothing more. As for how many people are interested in it, I am indifferent; it is simply the way of nature. Let them fight."
Bai Liuli's eyes suddenly widened with admiration for Ming Zhitian. She waved her hand: "No, since fate brought us together, it proves the 'Book of Swords and Records' has a connection with you. I cannot accept it. I'll give it to you. Besides, I don't know how to use it."
Ming Zhitian put away the "Book of Swords and Records": "Then what are your plans for the future?"
Bai Liuli's expression was somewhat dejected: "I don't know. My husband is dead, my son is dead, and I am being hunted by my own kin. Where should I go?"
Ming Zhitian said: "How about... you come back to the Divine Sect with me?"
"!"
Bai Liuli was shocked: "What... what is your relationship with Empress Xingchen and Martial Saint Ran Yizhou?"
Ming Zhitian replied: "One is my master's wife, and the other is my master."
Bai Liuli looked at Ming Zhitian in disbelief: "You are actually a disciple of the Martial Saint? No wonder... no wonder Luo Qi would entrust the 'Book of Swords and Records' to you. He had ulterior motives. I finally understand."
Ming Zhitian took her fair, rosy hand: "Let's go."
He tore open a spatial rift and entered directly. Bai Liuli frowned slightly: "Perhaps I should lead the way. You just need to tell me which direction."
Ming Zhitian awkwardly released her hand: "I forgot, you are also a great cultivator, faster than me. Alright."
In the blink of an eye, they arrived at the Divine Sect, but the facade that Ming Hui had meticulously repaired was now damaged.
Entering the Divine Sect, they saw the dilapidated grounds everywhere, with parts of the mechanical beasts scattered about. It was clear they had not been cleaned.
Ming Zhitian rushed in first and found that all the women were present and waiting in the main hall.
Seeing Ming Zhitian return, Yan Lixue was the first to rush forward and hug him tightly: "Husband, you're back! You're finally back! We... we almost didn't get to see you again."
"What happened?" Ming Zhitian asked.
One by one, the women recounted what had happened a month prior. A large number of great cultivators had forcefully intruded into the Divine Sect. If it weren't for the traps Bai Ju had set up beforehand and the talismans maintained by Qian Yang Xili, they would have been lost.
Ming Zhitian clenched his fists: "Gu Zhenyang... that old scoundrel!"
Yan Fei said: "Fortunately, Empress Xingchen brought people to protect the Divine Sect, otherwise the main gate would have been torn down long ago."
Ming Zhitian sighed: "Xingchen, I owe you another favor. I'm just glad everyone is safe."
He then introduced Bai Liuli, who had followed them in: "Come, let me introduce you. This is the wife of the Immortal Emperor, Bai Liuli. Liuli, these are all... ahem... family."
The women rolled their eyes at him, then introduced themselves one after another with great enthusiasm.
Ouyang Ni Feng, with a single glance, saw that the fair and lovely young woman before her was unfathomably powerful, and was astonished: "You... you're actually a great cultivator?!"
The women gasped in surprise, covering their mouths: "What?"
Although they hadn't met many great cultivators, they had heard of them. They were beings like gods.
Bai Liuli felt a little awkward by their expressions: "You don't need to be so formal. I'm just a woman."
