He Yufei let go of her and took a step back unwillingly, looking extremely upset. Bai Yan did not have the time to care about her and only stared intently at Lin Dan who was in the blood pool. He was waiting for an outcome. If Lin Dan could fight it back, he would let her go again. Otherwise, he will send her straight to hell.

It was an extremely long wait and the day had passed. The sunlight that entered from the hole in the ceiling had turned into moonlight, gently illuminating Lin Dan's pale face. She did not move or breathe and the baby in her arms was quiet. The Asura Sword was devouring the blood in the pool bit by bit and the silver blade was turning crimson. From time to time, there were flashes of red on the sharp blade, giving it a demonic charm.

Bai Yan stood quietly not far away and had never taken his eyes off Lin Dan. He had rarely shown such great patience with something or someone, or even willing to spend so much time waiting for an unknown result.

He Yufei was tired after standing for a long time and was already sitting on the ground. She complained, "Look, it's clear that Lin Dan is practicing a forbidden technique! She is still devouring blood!"

"Do not disturb her," Bai Yan instructed.

He Yufei stared at her master's back and got teary eyed. She was hoping that he could turn around and look at how upset she was. But Bai Yan had never turned around and look at her, he was still looking intently at Lin Dan. He knew that he would be getting an answer before dawn. He puffed up his white robe and was ready to take action.

Under the bright moonlight, Lin Dan slowly opened her eyes. She did not hurry to take a look at the Asura Sword that was glowing in red but lifted the curtain to examine the baby in her arms, before putting on a slight smile. The baby who was breathing weakly and had purplish skin was now looking tender and cute. It remained quiet and behaved obediently as it was soaked in the life aura. Although its eyes could not see yet, it could vaguely sense Lin Dan's presence and grabbed one of her fingers with its tiny hand.

The baby's grip was weak but this little action had touched Lin Dan's heart and made her gaze warmer.

It was not until this moment that Bai Yan noticed the baby's abnormality. As the baby was born prematurely and suffered from the big movements the day before, it should have been dead. But since it was kicking and alive, he knew Lin Dan had been giving it her life aura to keep it alive during the battle and meditation.

Bai Yan was shocked as he knew what would happen to Lin Dan if the life and death aura were in a state of imbalance. But He Yufei who was standing behind Bai Yan gasped and she was terrified by Lin Dan's blood-stained appearance.

Bai Yan snapped out of his thoughts at this moment. He got out of his fighting stance and slowly released a foul aura. Although Lin Dan looked like the blood-stained Asura, he also found her looking like a Buddha who was picking and smiling at a flower. He had to admit that when Lin Dan looked down at the baby and gave it a shallow smile, his emotionless heart wavered.

"If I'm not wrong, the Lord of the Timeless City is Lonely Scarlet who disappeared a decade ago. She was known as the Poison Lady who kidnapped babies to practice forbidden techniques." Seeing that Lin Dan ignored him after taking her sword and was ready to go, Bai Yan provided her the answer to the questions in her mind.

Lin Dan walked to the stone mill. She stared at the rest of the babies that had turned into a pool of blood by Lonely Scarlet and her eyes grew dimmer.

Bai Yan slowly walked to her side and sighed, "You can't save everyone even if you have exceptional martial arts skills. It's best that you don't get too bothered with this. "
