Lin Bai and Hu Xiner walked side by side along the street, heading forward.

"That white-haired sword cultivator is really powerful; he wiped out eighteen Demon Clan cities with just one sword."

"Isn't it? And he even teamed up with Lan Yuxin to break the Demon Clan's Ten Tribulations Formation!"

"Truly amazing!"

"I wonder who this white-haired sword cultivator really is... It's said he always carries a stunning beauty in his arms!"

"This white-haired sword cultivator is formidable, but few knew him at that time, especially his appearance, which was hardly seen by any warrior. It's unknown who this outstanding disciple from the Southern Yard is..."

Many warriors walking past Lin Bai and Hu Xiner murmured as they did so.

These people saw Lin Bai but seemingly didn't recognize him as the white-haired sword cultivator.

And upon reflection, Lin Bai found it true.

The ones who saw Lin Bai after the Demon Flower bloomed were only Lan Yuxin, Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, Meng Li, and Shu Xiang.

As well as a few hundred warriors defending Yuehua City who saw Lin Bai's appearance.

Besides, these warriors only arrived at Yuehua City afterward, so they hadn't witnessed Lin Bai after the Demon Flower's full bloom.

After the Demon Flower bloomed, Lin Bai immediately went to hunt down the Demon Clan; he encountered no human clan, hence none knew him as the white-robed sword cultivator.

Even in Heaven Desolate City, after Lin Bai entered the Demon Clan's Ten Tribulations Formation, Lan Yuxin only arrived with a large number of warriors.

And after the Ten Tribulations Formation was broken, Lin Bai hesitated not and directly went to hunt down Xuan Qing.

As a result, in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm now, fewer than five hundred warriors know Lin Bai as the white-haired sword cultivator!

Moreover, among these five hundred, most are the warriors who defended Yuehua City and are now gravely wounded, all in seclusion, unable to testify for Lin Bai!

"It seems you've become famous within the Human Clan," Hu Xiner laughed, "Indeed, one person with one sword, wiping out eighteen Demon Clan cities, breaking the Demon Clan's Ten Tribulations Formation; such achievements surely garner attention from the Southern Yard."

"It seems on your return to the Southern Yard this time, you'll surely have a meteoric rise."

"However, they seem not to recognize you; why not use that power once more, transform into the white-haired form, and let them see?"

Hu Xiner lightly laughed.

The reason Hu Xiner said so was her curiosity about the origins of Lin Bai's power!

Lin Bai shook his head slightly, saying, "Doesn't matter, let's go!"

Immediately, Lin Bai led Hu Xiner around Yuehua City for a bit and quickly found Wu Ming.

Outside a small courtyard, Wu Ming, Changsun Yun, and Meng Li came out.

"Lin Bai, you're back."

"Are you alright, Senior Brother Lin Bai?"

"Lin Bai, you're amazing! One person with one sword wiped out eighteen Demon Clan cities and broke the Demon Clan's Ten Tribulations Formation!"

As Wu Ming and the others approached, their faces were filled with joyful smiles.

Lin Bai smiled wryly and nodded, asking, "How is Shu Xiang's injury?"

Previously under Yuehua City, Xuan Qing ambushed Lin Bai, and it was Shu Xiang who blocked the deadly second arrow for him, paying a hefty price.

Wu Ming nodded lightly, "She has woken up. Although she's gravely injured, there's no danger to her life. We're planning to take her back to the Southern Yard for proper recovery."

Lin Bai nodded slightly and immediately went in to see Shu Xiang. As Wu Ming said, there's no danger to life, but she still needs to recuperate!

Lin Bai said, "Wu Ming, I have a favor to ask."

Wu Ming asked curiously, "What is it?"

Lin Bai said, "I need a token to pass through the teleportation array!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai's words, Wu Ming frowned, glancing at the black-robed figure behind Lin Bai.

Despite the robe being extremely loose, obscuring the appearance and body beneath, the experienced Wu Ming recognized the figure beneath the black robe as a woman...

Recalling the rumors in Yuehua City these days, about the stunning beauty in the white-haired sword cultivator's arms.

It wasn't difficult for Wu Ming to deduce who she was.

Wu Ming's face darkened, saying, "Lin Bai, you need to think carefully. Helping a Demon Clan member escape the Sky Desolation Secret Realm is... a severe offense against the rules!"

Lin Bai laughed, "Since you've already figured it out, I won't beat around the bush. I need a token, and I'll take full responsibility for the consequences."

"Is there a way you can help?"

Lin Bai asked.

Wu Ming seemed slightly hesitant, thinking for a moment before finally saying, "Alright, I'll prepare it for you, but I must warn you, if this matter is discovered, aiding the Demon Clan in escaping the Sky Desolation Secret Realm..."

"If the Southern Yard's higher-ups find out, you could be expelled from Dongzhou Academy at the least, or executed at the worst!"

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "I understand!"

Seeing Lin Bai's determination, Wu Ming said, "Fine, I'll prepare it!"

Immediately, Wu Ming left the courtyard, while Lin Bai waited there with Hu Xiner.

After half an hour, Wu Ming hurriedly returned, handing a token to Lin Bai, saying, "Take this token and head back to the Southern Yard quickly, otherwise, unexpected changes could come!"

Lin Bai took the token and saw the inscription: "Dongzhou Academy Inner Gate Southern Yard Disciple, Zhang Yun!"

The name sounded feminine.

Lin Bai clasped his hands, "Thank you, Wu Ming."

Wu Ming nodded slightly, "We still have some matters to handle in Yuehua City, so we can't return with you."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Afterward, Lin Bai took Hu Xiner and headed straight to the teleportation array.

Before the teleportation array, Hu Xiner laughed lightly, "It seems you have some good connections in the Southern Yard. Knowing helping a Demon Clan escape the Sky Desolation Secret Realm is a crime, he's still willing to help you!"

"You should know if the Southern Yard's higher-ups found out, not only you but he would also face consequences!"

Lin Bai felt a slight sense of gratitude in his heart, "I don't have many friends, and he counts as one of them!"

"Let's go, back to the Southern Yard!"

Lin Bai stepped into the teleportation array.

Hu Xiner clutched the identity token tightly in her hand, her expression jubilant, her eyes sparkling brilliantly. She followed Lin Bai into the teleportation array, her heart surging with indescribable joy!

Such feelings Lin Bai wouldn't understand.

Hu Xiner had lived in the Sky Desolation Secret Realm since childhood. Though vast, it felt too small for a strong one in the Life-and-Death Realm, like a cage, with her as the little fox trapped inside...

At this moment, she stepped into the teleportation array bound for the Southern Yard, stepping out of this cage...

For Hu Xiner, it was like a rebirth.

Once, Hu Xiner swore that any man she devoted herself to fully must take her out of the Sky Desolation Secret Realm, as the first obligatory condition!

Today, Lin Bai risked Southern Yard's punishment to take her out of the Sky Desolation Secret Realm...

Toward the Southern Yard...

Toward the boundless Dongzhou...

Toward the even more vast Barbaric Ancient Continent...
