Chapter 443 Never Again to Meet in Life and in Death (1/2)

Zhao Xiaoyu suppressed her shock and sweetly said, ”With your means, Senior Apprentice-Sister, it is not hard to hide from me. But since I managed to find you, this proves that I can still get The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma. As for any of your needs, Senior Apprentice-Sister, little sister's principle is to consent.”

Those gentle words were like a layer of shapeless ripples, causing the piece of Shapeless District to hold down. It was as if Bai Shaoliu saw white light emanating from the layers of snow and from on top of the igloo. It was consistently bright all around and not a shadow was seen.

Out came a beautiful young woman from the igloo. It was Zhou Ling, Zhao Xiaoyu's Senior Apprentice-Sister. Compared to previously, she looked younger by about 10 years. The hair on her temples were like clouds, her skin was like snow, with a pair of eyes akin to the murmurs of clear water, even girls who saw her might be entranced.

Zhou Ling spoke softly, ”Junior Apprentice-Sister, you have never done these things for anyone ever before. Does your heart really think that highly of him?”

Smiling, Zhou Xiaoyu replied, ”Not that highly, but exceedingly higher.”

”It seems you have not changed one bit. You still do not shy away from your inner thoughts. Perhaps this was the reason why Master passed down the orthodoxy to you, but only I have no way to understand it. You, who pursued Dao wholeheartedly, yet still bearing emotions.” said Zhou Ling, as she looked into Zhao Xiaoyu's deep eyes.

Zhao Xiaoyu gently said, ”Some things are just this intriguing. Some things you have never even thought about suddenly happens but you will not let yourself be half as surprised, and instead treat it as it should be expected. Just like Senior Apprentice-Sister who sought refuge here, having already completely forgotten the thoughts of being determined to seek revenge against Lu Jiuyuan, and by accident obtained the true meaning of 'The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma'.”

Soft came the reply, ”Your wisdom, insight, and cultivation experience, they are all miles ahead of me. Suppose I remain steadfast in my unwillingness to pass The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma to you, I fear that you may raise a hand to me with no hesitation whatsoever.”

Zhao Xiaoyu kept silent, as if displaying acquiescence. This was her pattern all along.

Zhou Ling then said, ”If today the person with The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma was Master, and she also is unwilling to pass it to you, would you still insist on it?”

Zhao Xiaoyu bore a calm demeanor, ”This is the difference between you and I, Senior Apprentice-Sister. If you would stand in my shoes, I would not ask this way. Similarly, I will not give up even if what you said was the reality.”

”Long ago, you were not willing to give me the token from the divine ruins. At present, I will also not let you have the The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma so easily, and nor will I request you to do anything. That is why I am taking advantage of this opportunity that we, as Apprentice-Sisters, may resolve antecedents. From now onwards, we will never again meet, in life and in death.” Zhou Ling coldly said.

Zhao Xiaoyu glanced deeply at her: ”Never again to meet, in life and death.”

Zhou Ling darted her gaze at Bai Shaoliu, and plainly said, ”Walk away along the South side, and do not come back.”

Bai Shaoliu was about to speak, but said nothing. Eventually he walked towards the South, his head held low. From the looks of it, a battle looked set to be underway.

Both were silent for 15 minutes. Zhou Ling chanted softly, and as if breathing out The Dao of Subtlety. Every syllable caused Zhao Xiaoyu's mind and spirit to tremble, as if each slap of the drumming beat and each beat of the heart were one. It was extremely hard to bear.

She deeply understood this to be edification of The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma. Without a doubt, Zhou Ling obtained its true essence, but she has not cultivated to its most extreme level, so she intended to use the sound curse to incite The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma to unleash its powers. All the same Zhao Xiaoyu had no way to block it, as it was the very same thing which she came to obtain.

For this type of situation where the course of events are particularly hard to bear, Zhao Xiaoyu committed each syllable to her memory, inscribed them in the recesses of her spirit. At the same time the powers of The Sutra of the Total Annihilation of the Dharma were imprinted on her body, as if it were a red hot branding iron, annihilating her divine powers bit by bit.
