"Hmm?"

Lin Heng raised an eyebrow, surprised.

Filled with doubt, Lin Heng stepped out of the Daoist Temple.

At that time, the Black Bear Spirit also arrived beside him, looking baffled.

The man and the demon looked toward the foot of the mountain.

There, a breathtaking figure in white was kneeling, pleading.

Beside her, a pale figure in green whose life or death was uncertain, and next to her a little sparrow demon with low cultivation, constantly wiping its tears.

"Why have they come here?"

The Black Bear Spirit looked puzzled.

Lin Heng furrowed his brows tightly.

The White Snake seemed to hear the Black Bear Spirit's voice. Although her cultivation had diminished greatly, she was still within the Great Power Realm and could see the figure at the Daoist Temple's entrance through the concealment of the White Cliff Mountain's grand array.

At that moment, when she looked up and saw that the one standing in front of the Daoist Temple was the Daoist who had saved her at Jinshan Temple yesterday.

The White Snake was clearly stunned but quickly bowed her head, pleading for help:

"Bai Suzhen from the foot of Qingcheng Mountain greets her benefactor, begging for salvation!!"

Benefactor?

The little sparrow demon to the side was puzzled.

At that moment, a voice came from the mountain.

"Weren't you going to Dragon and Tiger Mountain? Why have you come to this poor Daoist's place?"

Lin Heng's eyes were calm, and his tone indifferent.

The White Snake cried, "Bai Suzhen has been suppressed under Leifeng Pagoda for eight hundred years, unaware that Dragon and Tiger Mountain has long sealed its gates. Today, the little sparrow demon mentioned this place, fearing the presence of a Ninth Grade Pill, thus hurried here to beg the Daoist Master for help!"

"I never expected this to be where my benefactor was."

"Please, benefactor, take pity and help us sisters once more!!"

"Please, I beg you!!"

The White Snake seemed to want to bury herself in the dust, continuously bowing her head, her exquisite face full of pitiful appeal.

Lin Heng furrowed his brows, pondered for a moment, and eventually shook his head expressionlessly.

"You might have misunderstood."

"The reason this poor Daoist acted yesterday was simply because this Cyan Snake bestowed upon this poor Daoist a chance from Qingcheng Mountain, so this poor Daoist wanted to repay the karma, with nothing owed between us."

"The favor owed yesterday has already been repaid. You should seek help elsewhere."

Lin Heng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone somewhat detached.

Hearing the refusal, the White Snake trembled, her beautiful eyes filled with tears as she said:

"Benefactor, Xiao Qing has no time left..."

"I truly have no other options!"

"I know the value of a Ninth Grade Pill is immeasurable, and I also know that such a favor I cannot repay."

"I can only swear here, if you, benefactor, are willing to help, Bai Suzhen will obey your commands in the future."

"Be it as a servant or a mount, even if you wish to use my demon essence for alchemy, I shall never regret it!"

"I just beg you, benefactor, to show great compassion and save my sister, save my sister!!"

The White Snake kept kowtowing, black hair falling down, her smooth forehead revealing streaks of blood.

The little sparrow demon beside her also started kowtowing, crying loudly:

"Daoist Master on the mountain, please help us."

"Xiao Qing Immortal is a good demon; she never does evil and has accumulated virtue and done good for many years. You are greatly compassionate, please help us."

"As long as you are willing to save Xiao Qing Immortal, Que'Er... Que'Er will, like the White Snake Immortal, obey your commands."

"Although... although Que'Er is not very powerful, but... right, Que'Er is very good at gathering information, and Que'Er has many little friends, which should be of some use to you, Daoist Master."

"I beg you, Daoist Master, please help us!!"

The sparrow demon cried and prayed, though not yet transformed, it followed the White Snake's example and kept pounding its head; when it couldn't knock properly, it rammed its head on the stone, causing trickles of blood to appear.

In front of Qingfeng Temple.

Witnessing this scene, even the Black Bear Spirit was somewhat moved, its gaze complex, hesitating to speak.

Lin Heng remained silent.

And surrounding them.

There were already many demons and cultivators who had come upon hearing the news.

The reputation of the Cyan and White Snakes was too grand.

Ever since the White Snake crossed the sky yesterday, cultivators and demons from everywhere had been following the situation closely.

When they found out the White Snake went to Dragon and Tiger Mountain without success, then headed to Qingfeng Temple.

Everyone was shocked.

After all, Qingfeng Temple had gained fame throughout the Cultivation Realm these days.

The White Snake's arrival.

Everyone was curious about its intentions.

When they arrived, they saw this scene.

Many older cultivators couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"The White Snake Bai Suzhen... she was a legendary figure in the demon race a thousand years ago!"

"It is said that at her peak, she had already stepped into the Immortal Platform Realm and fought against the heritage of a certain demon race, without losing any ground until Fa Hai emerged, leading to her obscurity in the world."

"I never thought that a thousand years later, she would appear again, yet kneel to a mere Daoist Temple Master asking for help?"

"Alas, the impermanence of the world indeed evokes sighs..."

"Speaking of which, how powerful is this Qingfeng Temple Master, that even an existence like the White Snake needs to bow and plead?"

"Truly shocking!"

The tales of Fa Hai subduing the White Snake have remained a topic in the Cultivation Realm for ages.

This is partly due to the Cyan Snake repeatedly storming Jinshan Temple over the years.

But mostly because Bai Suzhen was recognized as a supreme master who nearly attained the Dao in her days.

Many have imagined, if the White Snake oppressed for eight hundred years was truly rescued, would she fall into the Demon Dao due to centuries of resentment, becoming a scourge to the world?

Yet who would have thought, the current White Snake is pitiable and humble to this extent.

Many cultivators expressed their sighs.

Similarly, many old demons who once admired or revered the Cyan and White Snakes found their eyes reddening upon seeing this scene.

A Great Roc Demon suddenly appeared, hesitated above the Daoist Temple, and finally landed meekly at the mountain's base.

It looked unwillingly at the once White Snake senior, then silently knelt, and addressed the tall figure atop the mountain, saying in a loud voice:

"Demon Race Great Roc Bird, beg the Daoist Master for leniency, save Cyan Snake!"

"I am willing to follow you from now on, through fire and water, at your command!"

These words drew countless gazes.

"Tsk!"

"Is it? Qinling Old Roc King? This guy has been unruly all his life, yet now he bows to the mountain just to plead for the White Snake?"

Young demons everywhere drew cold breaths, finding it unbelievable.

For that Old Roc King was seen as a commanding presence to them, yet now...

"Yellow River Giant Turtle, once instructed by Miss Bai, has accumulated virtue and done good for nine hundred years, now implores Qingfeng Temple Master to make a move, the old guy is willing to dedicate another century to benefiting the world and saving people!"

Another giant turtle quietly landed, sighing as it pleaded at the mountain's base.

Suddenly, it was like a chain reaction.

One venerable old demon after another that had not shown themselves for years emerged from various places, all arriving at the mountain's base.

"Beg the Daoist Master for assistance, I am willing to benefit the world and serve the Daoist path!"

"Daoist Master, show mercy, I will follow the Daoism path willing to serve as a mount!"

"Beg the Daoist Master for assistance!"
