Chapter 115: Bai He's Obstruction, The First Signs of the Tribulation!

Year 13!

【Bai He’s face instantly turned pale when she saw the truth.】

【She had not expected the worst outcome to come to pass.】

【“This is impossible...”】

【“How could it be Wanqing? Wanqing is the most gifted of them all, how could she…”】

【You looked at Zhuge Qing and nodded.】

【Upon receiving your confirmation, Zhuge Qing’s gaze became complex as he turned to look at Su Wanqing.】

【At this moment, the atmosphere in the Shuiyue Sect’s main hall was tense to the breaking point.】

【Zhuge Qing sighed deeply, slowly rising and walking toward Su Wanqing.】

【He knew that, as the most rational person, it was his role to make the tough decision.】

【For the future of humanity, he had to do this.】

【On the side, Bai He felt an immediate sense of dread as she saw Zhuge Qing stand up and walk toward Su Wanqing.】

【“You can’t do this!”】

【Before Zhuge Qing could make his move, Bai He instantly appeared in front of Su Wanqing, her eyes locked on him with fierce determination.】

【“Are you trying to stop me?”】

【“You can’t do this! She’s not a Bizarre Insect!”】

【Seeing this, you felt a headache coming on.】

【With your cultivation at the Integration stage, you couldn’t take control of the situation. Only Zhuge Qing could stand against Bai He.】

【And before the confrontation, you had explained things to Bai He, hoping she would understand the consequences.】

【You knew that Bai He was gentle by nature, not one to favor killing.】

【At that moment, Su Wanqing, who was being protected by Bai He, was confused and didn’t know what was going on.】

【Bai He had only told them that an elder needed to check something in the main hall, but she hadn’t told them the full truth.】

【The other three members of Shuiyue Sect, seeing the situation, quickly pulled Su Wanqing away to avoid being caught in the potential conflict.】

【They could all sense that the tension between Zhuge Qing and Bai He was reaching a boiling point.】

【“Do you know what you’re doing? You’re nurturing a disaster!”】

【Bai He’s sharp gaze focused on Zhuge Qing as she spoke.】

【“Of course, I know what I’m doing!”】

【“Su Wanqing is my disciple, and she is a genius of the human race!”】

【“And as you’ve said, whether she will turn into a Bizarre Insect in the future is still only your guess.”】

【“Besides, even if she’s not the Son of Destiny, who can be certain that they won’t turn into a Bizarre Insect?”】

【Zhuge Qing clenched his fists upon hearing this.】

【“Forget about the issue of possession by the Bizarre Insects, just the fact that she is polluting the spiritual energy and destroying the secret realms is enough to ruin the future of humanity.”】

【Upon hearing this, Bai He froze, instantly coming to her senses.】

【Bai He could overlook many things, but she could never betray humanity, nor could she let humanity’s future be destroyed on her watch.】

【“Until I’ve personally witnessed the spiritual pollution, you can’t touch Su Wanqing!”】

【Seeing the situation calming, you stepped forward.】

【“Sect Master Bai, did Su Wanqing use the secret realm in your forbidden grounds?”】

【Bai He glanced at Su Wanqing outside the hall, then furrowed her brow.】

【“She did use it! Wanqing just recently broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, and she did so inside the secret realm!”】

【Hearing this, you suggested that Bai He personally go and inspect the forbidden grounds to confirm what was happening.】

【Bai He then took you and Zhuge Qing to the forbidden grounds.】

【She explained that after returning to Shuiyue Sect, she had only strengthened a few defensive formations, and hadn’t entered the secret realm since then.】

【The reason Su Wanqing used it was that she had seen that Su Wanqing was about to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and thought that, since there was a secret realm in the sect, there was no need to search elsewhere.】

【Soon, you arrived at the waterfall in the forbidden grounds.】

【Then, Bai He led you into the secret realm.】

【The moment you entered, you sensed something was wrong.】

【The spiritual energy in the secret realm was mixed with a strange aura. Although it was still faint, you knew the secret realm was no longer usable.】

【You looked at Bai He and saw her expression, filled with disbelief, her mouth slightly open as if she wanted to speak, but no words came out.】

【“What’s your conclusion now?”】

【Zhuge Qing calmly asked Bai He.】

【Now that everything was clear, Bai He had no reason not to believe in the spiritual pollution.】

【“Is there no other way?”】

【Bai He looked at you with a despondent expression, hoping for some hope from you.】

【You looked at Bai He with complex emotions, knowing that her gentle nature made it incredibly hard for her to face such a harsh reality.】

【After a long pause, you sighed.】

【“Unless… you can guarantee that Su Wanqing will never enter the secret realm again, and will not pursue breakthroughs to the Deity Transformation stage, then everything should be fine.”】

【“But you must understand that not letting a talented genius with a special physique like hers cultivate is more painful than killing her!”】

【Bai He fell silent after hearing your words.】

【“Give me some time, I’ll handle this matter.”】

【Bai He then arranged for you and Zhuge Qing to stay at Shuiyue Sect, while she left with a complicated expression.】

Three days later!

【Bai He found you again.】

【This time, when you saw Bai He, you noticed that her expression had lightened considerably.】

【You asked Bai He how things were going.】

【Bai He told you that she had persuaded Su Wanqing to cultivate until the peak of the Nascent Soul stage and then cease her cultivation.】

【Bai He also assured you that Su Wanqing had promised to never enter the secret realm again.】

【After hearing Bai He’s assurance, you reluctantly accepted the result.】

【For you, the best solution would have been to eliminate the hidden danger, but you had no other way to fundamentally solve the issue of spiritual pollution.】

【At the same time, Zhuge Qing looked at Bai He.】

【“I can trust your words for now, but if I find that she repeats her actions or causes problems again, I will personally eliminate her!”】

【Bai He, upon hearing this, showed a hint of displeasure but had no argument to counter it.】

【“Don’t worry!”】

【“If she continues to ignore advice and pollute the spiritual energy, you won’t have to act. I’ll personally handle it!”】

【You and Zhuge Qing, seeing that Bai He had said all she needed to, nodded in agreement.】

The next day!

【You, Zhuge Qing, and Bai He bid farewell and set off again for Zhongzhou.】

【With the situation in Xuanzhou resolved, the next task was to address Zhongzhou.】

【As you thought about Zhongzhou, your mind wandered to your external incarnation.】

【At this moment, your external incarnation, hiding to avoid pursuit, was in a secret, secluded realm.】

【Just as you and Zhuge Qing were preparing to embark on your journey to Zhongzhou, both of you suddenly changed expressions, and without thinking, your gazes fixed on the center of Xuanzhou.】

【“What is that?”】

【“A Tribulation?”】
