"Keep your head steady his body is stable now but it won't be for long and all this human ma.s.s would be helpful," the minion said.

..

.

" Milord you really like this mutated woman, "said minion with gritted teeth.

.

"Should I tell him the truth let's test by telling him of his extra meridian "

.

but Bai Jie's reaction scared her. which also made her very sad. Bai jie was scared of the parasite being alive which meant he was afraid of her being alive.

.

.

"haha beat him sister good he really has a death wish he is living off on borrowed time but still thinks of himself invincible " laughed minion.

"hmm, his body absorbed energy from her attacks her spirit energy is very pure where it comes from. there is a crystal inside her oooh interesting it's also mutating her"

"

.

.

"he is good at changing the topic dammit you are scared of a little being but you think that spider thing is beautiful dammit this is not fair"

"I wish I could beat him I could use her to beat some sense into him," said minion with an evil smile.

.

"dammit he didn't take the bait, "said minion.

.

.

"first mistress how the h.e.l.l she became one that spider wh.o.r.e I can't let this go "

.

"zero mistress haha, Milord I might be a zero of no significance I don't know if I am alive, or is it just an illusion zero mistress I like it" this time minion really questioned her existence there might not be the need for her. she was just a bug nothing more.

.

while minion was sulking in her sadness she discovered a powerful energy signal coming from underground. it was growing stronger every second. she thought it would take a lot of time for him to breakthrough according to Yi ying information. but everyone underestimated boss Zhao. Yi ying estimation was completely wrong. a higher level cultivation technique also improved the absorption rate.

"their escape plan won't work at all I have to do something. I can't let him die like this "

she had never thought something like this would happen here. all minion wanted to do was absorb all the bioma.s.s and almost create a new body. but everything became a mess.

****************

while Bai Jie's mind was unconscious his body was undergoing many changes on the cellular level. parasites were merging with a new cell with every second his body was covered in white smoke . if Bai Jie was conscious he would be able to bear the pain of these changes. every cell in his body was like a parasite absorbing the essence repairing the damages.

***********

while Bai Jie body was being restructured somewhere in a large fortress a middle-age man sensed the energy fluctuation. his body s.h.i.+vered"which elder came did they discover it no that's not possible only I know about that place"

"Jina comes in, "said the middle-aged man.

a humpbacked bald man came in he bowed towards the middle-aged man

"Jina is here master" his voice was quite fluid for an old man

"send a transmission to sect alliance ask them which elder came to barbarian lands"

Jina replied "master it's not possible why would an elder come to barbarian lands there is no point"

"just do what I ask of you slave," said that middle-aged man angrily.

"yes master," said Jina 'once I am done you will be the first person I will kill you idiot'

Jina left the hall leaving the middle-aged man alone.

"How did they find out I was careful not to reveal anything if not for why would an elder come to this land that strength was definitely far stronger than foundation realm" the middle-aged man still was not able to find any head or tale situation so he was uncertain.

suddenly a young man appeared near him he was seated on his throne " it was not from golden crow sect I can a.s.sure you that. "

"yes, young master" replied the middle-aged man.

"only a group of outer disciples came nothing much " replied the young man.

"dong s.h.i.+n you should know if anyone finds out of our secret you will die for sure and I will be prosecuted according to sect rules," said the young man "but nothing will happen to your little family be a.s.sured. if you betray me you know the consequences "

dong s.h.i.+n replied "it won't happen, my lord, "

"that's good then " the young man replied

'could it be Thunderbird sect but what could they want in barbarian lands or is that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Wei Jun but he was in secluded cultivation and he can't be that strong, other two sects have no reason to come here '

Jina suddenly came in the hall"master there is a report of their disciple missing there were two groups who came one was Han sen which does not seem anything special but from Thunderbird sect, Wei ren came " he wanted to speak more but he saw a young man standing there with his master he felt he was standing naked in front of him the young man even smiled to him.

"Jina how dare you a slave came in "dong s.h.i.+n shouted at Jina.

Jina was brought out his stupor "master I ask for your forgiveness I didn't know my lord had a guest "

"I will kill" before dong s.h.i.+n could complete his sentence he heard.

"dong s.h.i.+n shut up let's hear him" the young man stated "speak what

"my lord Han sen is just a small character but Wei ren also came himself his brother is Wei Jun who is one of the strongest younger generation core disciples "

"your intelligence gathering is good is there anything else, "the young man asked.

"there is lord it is deduced that Wei ren was on a secret mission by Wei Jun, because of Wei Jun no underground organizations dare to follow him to confirm this hypothesis but coincidentally there is a peculiarity both Han sen and Wei ren went in the same direction from the city"

"dong s.h.i.+n looks your dog is better than you should I just replace you" dong s.h.i.+n shuddered.

Dong s.h.i.+n said hurriedly " no young master I will find out who came "

"don't make a mess keep it low it might be someone we can't offend you know it better than I do " the young man disappeared leaving a voice " and keep your dog I like him"

dong s.h.i.+n looked at Jina with deep hatred "get lost"

"yes, master" replied Jina.

**************

while in the cave of bandits a woman woke up she felt very weak .she tried to get up but she felt very weak. she opened her eyes she observed her surroundings what she saw was desolation she was in a large cage which was blasted open. she forcefully tried to get up.

The last thing she remembered was that she was protecting bai jie while he was going to cultivate.

"What happened here "

she saw that bai jie was not present anywhere near . she could not find bai jie anywhere.

she tried to use spirit energy but it didn't respond.

"no how could this be, "she noticed there was not an ounce of spirit energy inside her even meridians inside her body were blocked.

she had become a mortal again.all her hard work disappeared just like that.

"No I have to find him first and where did everyone go there were so many captives here

" she checked the cages but those cages were completely fine like nothing happened but there were no captives. it was like there none, to begin with.

She thought she just had a bad dream she shook her head but nothing changes it was a desolate place.

"Bai Jie was here I am sure of it" she moved towards the door of the captive room there she saw the door was ripped off the wall.

"who could do this even ninth stage mortal can't do it" she pondered for a moment but she moved out.

she moved along the cave there were signs of battle but n.o.body was found. she moved along the path the battlefield was becoming more and more strange .from the footprints on the ground there was a brutal battle with more than 50 people involved.

"did something happened and captives broke out but what happened to boss Zhao how could he slave trader free their captives"

what she had thought was completely natural .which was that something happened to boss Zhao while cultivation which cost him his life which could explain the infighting which gave the captives the chance to escape.

"Does this mean there was someone so strong in those captives but I didn't notice anyone could it be that old man which Bai Jie asked me about could he be real I need to go deeper "

the old man was, of course, real but he never did anything he just disappeared he could have saved everyone but he didn't.

she moved deeper inside she saw a slanted path leading to underground she observed for a while then she moved in .after sliding down slowly she was able to reach the bottom.

"if I just had my cultivation it would have been a lot faster " she smiled bitterly.

she looked around it was like an adobe for a cultivator. she walked towards the center of the Adobe where she could see a white smoke rotating. closer she gets to the spot she felt ground underneath her was getting more compressed like there was huge pressure acted on it. It was the first time in her life she felt something like this bizarre.

then suddenly the white smoke exploded and disappeared and the jade-like body which was s.h.i.+ning in a silver color fell on the ground.

it was bai jie or to say bai Jie's reborn.
