Ye Zichen ordered the slaughter in the calmest of tones.
He didn't have any other reason. Perhaps many of the Bai Family members were innocent, but that didn't matter anymore.
At the end of the day, the Bai Family belonged to Zhou Wu. They'd have to fight sooner or later.
Death was inevitable. Giving the order at this time was merely pushing forward the time by a little.
"Yes, sir!"
The Ruler of the Outer Realm and the Yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda shouted in unison, their voices filling the air. Just the sound of their voices was enough to make all the cultivators in Spirit City tremble.
The sky gradually brightened.
However, even though it should've been dawn, the sky was still hazy.
The sky exuded a solemn and deep feeling. Through the clouds and mist, one could vaguely feel some light, but this light was obscured and was especially dim.
Bai Yulong was shocked.
He was shocked that he'd never guessed Ye Zichen and Xue Mo had such a relationship. He was shocked that Ye Zichen's faction was clearly on good terms with Zhou Wu. Even if they weren't on good terms, they weren't enemies. But now, this was happening.
Zhou Wu had ordered Bai Yulong to act ruthlessly in order to test the Sea of Innocence's bottom line. He'd also wanted to better understand the situation and prepare for the future.
Before attacking, Zhou Wu must've known about Ye Zichen and Xue Mo's relationship, as well as who stood behind him. Zhou Wu had absolutely understood everything before doing this. In other words, he wasn't worried about Ye Zichen's faction at all. Or perhaps ….
Was this also a test for them?
In other words, the Profound Pavilion, which had always served the God Emperor's Estate, was also on the Sea of Innocence's side?
Or perhaps Ye Zichen's actions were his own, and had nothing to do with the Profound Pavilion or the Society of Saints?
Bai Yulong had to admit that he'd panicked at first.
The amount of information contained in this was too much for him to digest in a short time.
But if he thought about it carefully, everything became much simpler.
Ye Zichen had come for Xue Mo. Regardless of whether his actions were of his own volition or the approval of his backer, he was standing against the Bai Family.
In a situation like this, his background was no longer important. If the Profound Pavilion and Society of Saints were on the Sea of Innocence's side, then so be it. In any case, they were enemies. Even if he died, it didn't matter. If Ye Zichen's actions were purely of his own volition, then he'd provoked them first. So what if he was injured?
Just apologize.
They were all working for the God Emperor, so how could his Bai Clan be afraid of the Profound Pavilion and the Association of Saints?
After sorting out his thoughts, Bai Yulong was no longer confused.
He no longer racked his brains to resolve the conflict. Instead, he was like an unsheathed blade, radiating an unruly, vicious aura. His ghastly white teeth radiated cruelty, his crooked neck, and his sinister eyes stared at Ye Zichen and the yao servants behind him like a viper.
By now, he was no longer hiding his cultivation. Earlier, out of fear of Ye Zichen's background, he'd been too cautious to harm him. Since he had already thought it through, there was nothing else for him to care about.
"How dare you!"
Bai Yulong roared angrily as he watched the extraterrestrial Sovereigns and the yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda about to attack. His handsome appearance contorted, and his entire face contorted with malevolence.
His lifeless eyes, which had bags under his eyes, were now filled with viciousness. He glared at the demon servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, and a surging aura exploded from his body.
"Yulong, stand down."
A calm, unhurried voice echoed through the air. Before long, a white-robed, middle-aged man walked out of the Bai Family's inner courtyard. He stood on a blue lotus and walked to Bai Yulong's side.
His appearance instantly doubled the pressure on the Bai Family estate. Even the Great Sage, Yang Jian, and the others gradually retreated and cautiously approached Ye Zichen's side.
Although only seven or eight minutes had passed since the Great Sage and the others had attacked, the pressure they felt instantly multiplied.
Faced with these diviners and supremes, an Emperor-level ruler was bound to slaughter them.
The stench of blood was already thick, and the Bai Family had suffered grievous casualties. Even so, the middle-aged man merely glanced at them. His eyes were unruffled, and he smiled calmly, hands clasped behind his back.
"I am the head of the Bai Family, Bai Haoran. I've been in seclusion this entire time. It was someone from my clan who summoned me. Little friend, can you explain to me why you've come to my Bai Family with such fanfare, slaughtered my clansmen, and threatened to take my nephew's life? What are your intentions? "
"I also know who you are, Ye Zichen. He was the nephew of the Profound Pavilion's Lady Providence and the son of the Society of Saints' Star Altar's Lord of Seven Stars. My young friend, you should know that the Bai family works for the God Emperor. I wonder if Xuan Ji and Star Lord Ye know about your actions? "
"Do you have any respect for the God Emperor?"
Bai Haoran said in a clear voice.
"Good eloquence."
Ye Zichen looked over and couldn't help but shake his head.
Bai Haoran stood with his hands clasped behind his back. His gaze was mellow, and his tone was elegant. His long hair fluttered in the wind, and his white robe fluttered in the wind. He looked like an immortal, and his entire body exuded a noble aura.
Ye Zichen, on the other hand, was brimming with killing intent. His right eye radiated a devilish charm.
One was righteous while the other was evil. The visual contrast was intense. "Are you the Bai Clan's Clan Leader, Bai Haoran? This is a good name! " Ye Zichen stared at Bai Haoran and snorted. "But there's no need for you to say anything more. Just drag my mother and Aunty Xuan Ji into this. There's no need to drag God Emperor Zhou Wu into this. This time, I came here to avenge my close friend. Butcher You
My clansmen were not my intention. Since you, the clan head, have come here personally, I'll give you some face. I'm determined to take Bai Yulong's life. Give him to me, and I'll order my men to leave. How about it? Are you going to hand him over or not? "
Ye Zichen didn't know who Bai Yulong was, and he couldn't be bothered to find out.
If he said he was the head of the Bai Clan, then he was.
Ye Zichen's goal in coming here was to take Bai Yulong's life. Now that he'd confirmed Bai Yulong's identity, no matter what the result was, he had to die!
He'd said all that just now to give Bai Haoran face. He wanted to see what Bai Yulong's decision would be.
If he handed him over, fine.
If he didn't know when to back off, then he'd kill him as well.
"My little friend, you're quite aggressive," Bai Haoran laughed heartily. "I only said so much to give you face out of respect for your mother and Aunty Xuan Ji. I wanted to give you a way out, but you're still as arrogant as ever. But you're still as arrogant as ever, and you even want me to hand over my nephew … "
"Big Brother, what's the point of saying so much to him? Even with the Profound Pavilion and Star Altar's support, do you think our Bai Family is afraid of him? "roared a middle-aged man in purple robes.
The other Bai Family clansmen clamored even louder. Their clamor irritated Ye Zichen greatly.
Ye Zichen's gaze narrowed, and his eyes flashed with cold light.
