In Bai Mushuang's opinion, exchanging the lives of two Saints for Xiao Chen's life was already an extremely painful matter. However, Bai Mushuang gritted his teeth and accepted it for the sake of avenging his sons. But right when he'd just made his decision, Bai Mushuang's expression couldn't help but change when he heard Bai Mushuang's words.
"Big Brother, since you've made your decision, then in my opinion, we need at least five Saints and a few dozen Half-Saints and Dao Emperor Realm cultivators to ensure that we can kill Xiao Chen. Only then would we have absolute confidence in killing Xiao Chen."
After knowing Bai Mushuang's decision, Bai Mushuang expressed his opinion. Once those words were spoken, Bai Mushuang's expression changed.
However, Bai Mushuang clearly didn't know that Bai Mushuang originally wanted to say that it was best to let a Quasi-saint Grand Exalt do it. But when he thought about it, the Bai Clan only had three Quasi-saint Grand Exalts, so it was obviously impossible to exchange their lives for Xiao Chen's life. Even if Bai Mushuang agreed, the Bai Clan's Ancestor wouldn't.
So, after taking a step back, Bai Mushuang still felt that it was impossible for a Quasi-saint Grand Exalt to exchange his life for Xiao Chen's. In that way, they could only use the lives of Saints.
But even so, the outcome still shocked Bai Mushuang to the extreme. It wasn't just him, the gazes of all the experts of the Bai Clan were filled with surprise and bewilderment as they looked at Bai Mushuang.
"Third Brother, aren't you making a mountain out of a molehill? Does killing Xiao Chen require such a formidable force? "Bai Mushuang asked with shock as he gazed at Bai Mushuang.
The Bai Clan had to pay the price of at least five Saints, a few dozen Half-Saints, and Dao Emperor Realm experts just to kill Xiao Chen. Wasn't this a little too exaggerated?
After all, such a force was practically a fifth of the Bai Clan's entire combat strength. At the very most, the Bai Clan only had a little over twenty Saints, and this was the result of accumulating strength for countless years. Yet they had to lose five of them in one go. Even if it wasn't a calamity to the Bai Clan, it was sufficient to deal a heavy blow.
He felt that Bai Mulin was making a mountain out of a molehill. However, Bai Mulin said solemnly to the doubts of his elder brother and everyone present.
"Big Brother, everyone, I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill, nor am I exaggerating. I've seen Xiao Chen with my own eyes. It can be said that if a Saint attacks, Xiao Chen will definitely be able to kill him. If two Saints attack, Xiao Chen will definitely be able to retreat safely. Even if three or four Saints attack, they might not be able to kill Xiao Chen."
"And we only have one chance. If we don't succeed this time, then given how much the Yin and Yang Sects value Xiao Chen, our Bai Clan won't have another chance."
"Everyone, just think about it. If you offend a current prodigy but fail to kill him before he has matured, what will the outcome be? At that time, our Bai Clan probably won't just pay the price of five Saints. Our entire Bai Clan will probably cease to exist."
After this incident, Bai Mulin's attention to Xiao Chen could be said to have risen to a very high level. Therefore, he believed that if he wanted to kill Xiao Chen, he must be willing to pay the price. Otherwise, he would only go for wool and come home shorn. At that time, Xiao Chen would definitely retaliate.
Once Xiao Chen matured, the Bai Clan would clearly not be able to endure Xiao Chen's revenge. Putting everything else aside, once Xiao Chen gained a foothold in the Yin and Yang Sects, the Bai Clan's days would become very difficult. At that time, Xiao Chen would only need to say a single word, and many organisations would probably step forward to deal with the Bai Clan for Xiao Chen.
His tone was very solemn, and he didn't seem to be joking at all. Bai Mushuang and the other members of the Bai Clan fell into deep thought when they heard Bai Mulin.
Bai Mulin was right. They only had one chance. Presently, Xiao Chen and the Yin and Yang Sects were still unaware that the Bai Clan intended to take revenge on Xiao Chen, so they weren't on guard.
Once they attacked and Xiao Chen was allowed to escape, then it would be very difficult to find another opportunity. The Yin and Yang Sects would definitely dispatch forces to protect Xiao Chen. At that time, the Bai Clan wouldn't have any chance to act.
They had to succeed in a single strike, otherwise, the Bai Clan would definitely suffer annihilation. After pondering deeply for a short while, Bai Mushuang gritted his teeth and decided in the end.
"We'll do as Third Brother says. However, I've decided to dispatch seven Saints, thirty Half-Saints, and seventy Dao Emperors to kill Xiao Chen. We must succeed in a single strike."
The enmity of his son's death had gained the upper hand in the end, and Bai Mushuang spoke coldly. Moreover, he'd even added the strength to kill Xiao Chen on top of Bai Mulin's strength.
Seven Saints, thirty Half-Saints, and seventy Dao Emperors. All of them were acting solely for the sake of killing Xiao Chen. Moreover, once they made a move against Xiao Chen, then it was no surprise that all 107 of them would definitely perish.
Using the lives of 107 experts in exchange for Xiao Chen's life clearly showed how deep Bai Mushuang's hatred towards Xiao Chen was.
Bai Mushuang made the decision. The curtains to a trap that was meticulously planned by the Bai Clan to target Xiao Chen had silently begun. However, Xiao Chen was utterly unaware of all of this.
At this moment, after Xiao Chen killed Bai Qiuran and forced Xuanyuan Baizhan to retreat, they'd returned to the cave and gathered together to chat with each other.
Bai Qiuran was dead, so all of them were naturally much more relaxed. From now onwards, the Sacred Palace faction could be said to possess the right to speak in the Heavenly Yin Yang Sect. It was even to the extent that the Sacred Palace faction had become a faction that was second only to the main faction after this battle. The reason was very simple, besides the main faction, only the Sacred Palace faction possessed a Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings. The other factions didn't possess a Chosen on the Hallowed Rankings.
They heaved a sigh of relief in their hearts. At the same time, they naturally drank to celebrate Xiao Chen's ascension onto the Hallowed Rankings.
The atmosphere was very lively. Long Yang chuckled as he sat by Xiao Chen's side during the banquet. A wretched smile hung on the corners of his mouth as he gazed at the busy Qingyao, Qingluo, Fei Mei, An Lan, Si Ju, and Lu Zhu.
"Hehe, Qingyao and Qingluo are getting more and more beautiful."
Long Yang purposely put on a lecherous expression, but Xiao Chen didn't mind at all. He merely rolled his eyes at Long Yang. However, it was Feng Jue who spoke up.
"Xiao Chen, it looks like Xuanyuan Baizhan has his eyes on you this time. I'm afraid he won't stop targeting you in the future."
Xuanyuan Baizhan wasn't a match for Long Yang and Feng Jue, so he naturally shifted his hatred onto Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen naturally knew this, but before Xiao Chen could reply, Long Yang spoke up nonchalantly.
"Only mediocre people don't attract jealousy. It's very normal for Xuanyuan Baizhan to target Brother Xiao Chen, but I'm sure Brother Xiao Chen won't mind, right? We'll just deal with whatever comes our way. "
