Not long ago, Bai Yulong received news.
Spirit City's defenses had completely escaped the Bai Family's control, and a group of yao experts had taken control of its four gates. None of the experts they'd sent had returned, and they hadn't sent back a single message.
The clan elders were all in seclusion and didn't know what was going on, but someone had already gone to notify the clan elders.
Only now did Bai Yulong look Ye Zichen in the eye.
This person had so brazenly attacked the Bai Family and said he wanted to take his life. This wasn't just empty talk. Whether it was the four experts by his side, or the way he'd seized the city ….
"Just who are you?"
Bai Yulong could no longer remain as calm as before. As a direct descendant of the family, he knew full well how many troops the Bai Family had deployed to defend Spirit City. Ye Zichen had taken control of the city's defenses so quickly, and his scouts hadn't been able to send back any information.
From this, Bai Yulong could tell just how many people he'd sent to take over the city.
There were also the few people behind him who could easily deal with more than ten Celestials, and those Celestials were generally of high level or above.
Then ….
It was obvious that they were rulers at the very least, and possibly even emperors.
At first, Bai Yulong thought Ye Zichen's decision to come here on his own was reckless. But now, he was fully aware of the enormous power behind Ye Zichen.
Just who was he?
Bai Yulong couldn't help but wonder. Don't be fooled by his arrogance, but he was familiar with the heirs of some of the God Realm's major powers.
The ones he couldn't afford to provoke had left a deep impression on him.
He wasn't sure if he could provoke Ye Zichen, but from the looks of it, he was no ordinary person. At the very least, he belonged to a first-rate faction. But Bai Yulong had no recollection of him at all.
"You don't need to know who I am."
Ye Zichen smiled coldly and covered his face with his right hand.
Suddenly ….
Twelve black-and-white wings unfurled from Ye Zichen's back.
His wings stirred up the air, creating gales so fierce that even the roofs near the Bai Family's ancestral residence were blown away. Just those wings alone were enough to put the Bai Family's experts in a difficult position.
The others watched in astonishment. Then, Ye Zichen removed his hands from his face.
What was revealed was a pair of deep purple, demonic eyes. After that, a longsword appeared in his hand. The scabbard turned into a streak of golden light and embedded itself into the ground. The smooth blade of the sword shone with a piercingly cold light under the moonlight.
The cold light was dazzling, and the two words "Xuanyuan" were engraved on the hilt.
Buzz.
The body of the sword trembled and buzzed. He swung it downwards, and the sword qi shot out fiercely. The house below was instantly sliced apart by the Sword Qi and collapsed with a loud rumble.
"All you need to know is that I'm here to take your life."
Swoosh.
Ye Zichen flapped his wings, and with Xuan-Yuan Sword in hand, he seemed to teleport. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Bai Yulong. He raised the Xuan-Yuan Sword and swung it down.
The instant he moved, Pu Jingwan, Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and Xiao Yumei all attacked the Bai Family clansmen.
"So fast."
Bai Yulong sighed inwardly. Even with his eyesight, he'd only seen Ye Zichen's afterimage. By the time he came to his senses, Ye Zichen's sword was already right above his nose.
He quickly retreated.
A strand of silver hair fell to the ground.
Ye Zichen's attack hadn't actually hurt Bai Yulong. Bai Yulong had reacted quickly enough, so his sword had only severed a few strands of silver hair.
That wasn't a big deal.
Setting aside his grudge with Bai Yulong, the fact that he'd been able to crush Xue Mo, who'd activated her bloodline power, was proof of his strength. If he could cleave Bai Yulong in half with a single strike, Ye Zichen believed that …. Jiang Wei and the others would've long since avenged Xue Mo.
It was precisely because this guy was strong, so strong that they had no hope of victory. That was why they'd given up so easily and buried their hatred deep in their hearts.
Ye Zichen couldn't help but nod in approval.
He was strong, but ….
That was all.
Ye Zichen's gaze narrowed, and he attacked again. Bai Yulong barely dodged Ye Zichen's sword. He clutched the strand of hair in his hand, his eyelids twitching.
Fortunately …
Fortunately, he'd reacted quickly enough. Otherwise, without the protection of divine power, he'd most likely have been cleaved in half.
Otherwise, he'd likely have been cleaved in half.
Before he could think too much about it, he saw Ye Zichen, Xuan-Yuan Sword in hand, charge at him again.
Retreat, retreat, retreat ….
In the face of Ye Zichen's fierce attacks, Bai Yulong's only response was to retreat.
Perhaps because Ye Zichen's attacks were too concentrated, Bai Yulong was flustered. He couldn't react in time, so all he could do was retreat to ensure his safety.
"Who the hell are you? How did I offend you? Perhaps there's some misunderstanding between us?" shouted Bai Yulong frantically as he retreated.
Part of the reason Bai Yulong hadn't attacked yet was that he wanted to ease their relationship.
He didn't know Ye Zichen's background, and his father had repeatedly warned him not to make enemies for the sake of the family.
They were working for God Emperor Zhou Wu. If the Bai Family made enemies, they'd make enemies for the God Emperor. It was already the end of the era, and the God Emperor had already pushed several of the Nine Divine Mountains into opposing factions. The Bai Family couldn't push other first-rate factions into opposing factions.
Bai Yulong was keenly aware that he'd acted in such a high-profile manner that he might inadvertently offend someone.
But that didn't mean he couldn't make up for it. The family elders had yet to emerge from seclusion, so he had to at least delay until they did.
"Misunderstanding?" Ye Zichen smiled wickedly.
He found it hard to believe that, at a time like this, Bai Yulong would still think it was a misunderstanding.
Even the diviner general had recognized him as Ye Zichen at a glance, but this young master of the Bai Family still hadn't figured out the situation.
The sound of a rain of swords filled the air.
The Bai Family clansmen and retainers could tell that this was the sound of experts at the sky supreme level and above flying through the air.
A vast expanse of light blotted out the sky.
Bai Yulong subconsciously turned his head and stared at the people who were flying towards them. He couldn't tell how many there were, but he could tell that there were at least tens of thousands of them.
Furthermore, their cultivations weren't low. Even the weakest was a seventh-stage sky supreme.
There were quite a few diviners as well, and there were at least six rulers leading them.
"These people …. Could they be the ones who took over the city?"
Bai Yulong was terrified. He was sure that there were still a large number of experts guarding the city gates. Only a small portion of them had come.
This was clearly a first-rate faction, but why couldn't he remember ….
No! Yao!
Although there were a few with the aura of gods, most of them were yao experts. If so many yao invaded the city, the gods would definitely get wind of it. There was no way God Emperor Zhou Wu would allow them to enter Spirit City.
Yao! Yao!
Bai Yulong's mind raced as he watched the yao experts descend upon him.
The Yao-Sealing Pagoda!
These were definitely yao servants from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda!
Otherwise, how could the Bai Family not have heard of so many yao experts appearing in the God Realm's territory?
There was only one explanation: these yao experts were yao servants from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda.
In that case, this youth ….
"Master."
The yao servant knelt in the air, his voice piercing through the clouds.
