As Ye Ling recounted, the events that transpired after Su Bai left Great Martial World were revealed one by one.
"I never thought that what I did back then would cause such a huge commotion later on," she murmured, shaking her head slightly.
She truly hadn't expected it.
At first, she merely wanted to display her strength to make it easier for Lin Feng to promote the Martial Arts she had given him.
However, human hearts are unpredictable.
Later, these people fought so fiercely that the land became desolate, and there were even those who allied with Yao Beasts.
While Ye Ling recounted the past years to Su Bai, Su Bai was continuously treating Ye Ling's hidden injuries.
The fact that she could retreat unscathed after facing several Martial Artists of the same Realm back then was already proof of her powerful martial arts.
However, the internal injuries indeed affected Ye Ling.
She was currently unable to exert her full strength.
The wrinkles on her face were also so numerous that she didn't look like a Gui Zhen Warrior.
At Ye Ling's Realm, maintaining a youthful appearance was achievable.
Now, with Su Bai's help, the internal injuries in Ye Ling's body began to recover.
As a Cultivation Technique, the "Jade Liquid Storing Qi Inscription" now displayed its power.
Ye Ling only felt a warm force continuously entering her body from Su Bai's hands.
Then, her originally stuffy chest actually felt relieved.
When she had just circulated her Cultivation Technique, the excruciating pain in her Meridians now also eased under that force.
Ye Ling immediately understood.
Her Junior Sister was healing her.
She shook her head.
"Don't waste your Qi. I've lived for so many years; I'm already content."
Ye Ling knew how powerful Su Bai was.
But she still advised Su Bai not to waste her Qi on someone who was already half in the grave like herself.
Even if her injuries were healed, how many more years could she live?
However, Su Bai acted entirely on her own will.
If she wanted to do it, she did it.
After healing Ye Ling, Su Bai planned to ask Ye Ling about the Demonic Sect.
At the same time, she took out a Medicinal Pill.
"Senior Sister, take this. It's good for your body."
This Medicinal Pill was a Lifespan Pill that Su Bai had bought to cover her tracks.
She didn't need it herself, so she gave it to Ye Ling.
Although it wouldn't help much, an extra ten years of Lifespan would allow Ye Ling to do many things.
Ye Ling knew that Su Bai wouldn't harm her.
Just like the Monster Beast Pill she casually gave her back then, which allowed her to Breakthrough and become a Gui Zhen Warrior.
She directly consumed the Lifespan Pill.
Seeing this, Su Bai continued to inquire.
"Senior Sister, I want to first understand this so-called Demonic Sect."
Upon hearing the name 'Demonic Sect,' Ye Ling's hand subconsciously trembled.
But then she thought of Su Bai beside her, who could fight against ten thousand fifty years ago. To what extent had her Martial Arts reached now?
"The Demonic Sect later snatched the Martial Dao Divine Intent Diagram you left behind. Any Martial Artist in the Jianghu who cultivated the Cultivation Technique you passed down, if they achieved even a little success, was slaughtered."
"Blood flowed like rivers…"
"In terms of Martial Arts, the Demon Hunting Association was disbanded, all the various Martial Arts scriptures it collected were plundered, and Martial Artists were either captured and fed to Yao Beasts or had their blood drawn for Alchemy."
"Martial Dao, it's broken!"
As Ye Ling spoke, a tear involuntarily fell from the corner of her eye.
She pointed to her own separate courtyard.
"After I retired, I began to organize the Martial Dao I had learned, thinking that even if I died, I should at least leave some behind, so that future Martial Artists would have hope of re-peeking into the Returning to Truth Realm."
Ye Ling's departure from the Mingyu Sect to the Demon Hunting Association back then already showed her obsession with Martial Arts.
Witnessing the destruction of the Demon Hunting Association, which researched Martial Arts, the feeling of powerlessness was something only she understood.
Just as the two were chatting and reminiscing, a voice came from the distant horizon.
"Mingyu Sect! Hand over Ye Ling! Your Legacy will remain, otherwise, today will be the day the Mingyu Sect disappears!"
The vast reach of the voice and the profound Qi and blood behind it clearly indicated that only a Gui Zhen Warrior could achieve such a feat.
