CHAPTER 331: Caihuang Looks Back
Since she discovered her spiritual root, Bai Caihuang had been separated from her ordinary parents and saw them only a few times a year, so their bond wasn’t very deep.
Instead, after realizing her unique talents, she had been heavily cultivated by her family, always receiving guidance and care from the clan leader. Therefore, she held great respect and reliance on him.
Their relationship was very close, and it could be said that he was both a teacher and a mother to her.
"I have my own way to escape; you don't need to worry about me. Just take care of yourself," Bai Lianhua transmitted softly, without any intention of explaining further.
Bai Caihuang was nurtured by her, and her special talent was very suitable for joining the Spirit Control Sect, which Bai Lianhua viewed as a hope for the family’s advancement.
Even at this moment, she was unwilling to give it up.
Having grown up under the care of the clan elders, she had an extraordinary attachment to the Bai Family, with family interests even surpassing her own life.
"Caihuang obeys!"
"The clan leader will surely escape safely; Caihuang will wait for your return at Phoenix Mountain."
Faced with Bai Lianhua’s stern command, Bai Caihuang instinctively chose to comply.
In her mind, the clan leader was extraordinarily powerful and could resolve any issue; these few individuals were merely relying on their numbers.
The exchange of spiritual consciousness between the two women took place silently, and within just a couple of breaths, they reached a consensus.
With Liu Yu's current strength of spiritual consciousness, along with the profoundness of the art of spirit preservation, he could barely eavesdrop on the transmission of an early foundation establishment cultivator.
However, the two women from the Bai family had one in the late stage of foundation establishment and the other seemingly had a naturally powerful spiritual consciousness, which was not weaker than those in the mid foundation establishment stage, so he could only sense that they were communicating.
As for more specific information, that remained unknown.
Seeing that he couldn’t take down the two women for the moment, Liu Yu was already pondering whether to employ more methods.
First of all, the supreme spiritual artifact definitely could not be used, nor could he use the Azure Flood Halberd obtained from Xie Junjie. However, the shock spirit stab had minimal fluctuations and could be used at a crucial moment.
Using the talisman treasure was too costly, and directly summoning it would be quite inappropriate, but if it became necessary, it could still be considered.
Liu Yu repeatedly gestured with his hands and summoned the azure yang devil fire, transforming it into an extremely agile blue bird that swooped towards Bai Lianhua, preventing her from freeing her hands.
While manipulating the demonic fire and the magical artifacts, he was also hesitating whether to use his trump card, such as the talisman treasure, to avoid prolonged trouble.
Just as Liu Yu hesitated, the situation suddenly changed.
Bai Lianhua, who had been on the defensive, suddenly unleashed several second-tier high-quality talismans, creating a wave of "small explosions."
This temporarily repelled Liu Yu's spiritual and magical artifacts along with the devil fire, granting her a brief moment of respite.
Without any hesitation, she reached into her storage bag and retrieved a talisman that was completely light blue, adorned with wave patterns.
It was a second-tier defensive talisman—the Water Curtain Heavenly Splendor Talisman.
The Water Screen Celestial Splendor technique was a second-tier supreme, and it was a rare defensive talisman with top-notch defensive power among all second-tier spells. It was Bai Lianhua's ace in the hole.
With the help of a peak foundation establishment cultivator who practiced water attribute techniques, she had spent an entire month, failing dozens of times before successfully drawing three of them. Over the years, she had consumed one, leaving her with two.
