Up in the sky, Ye Zichen's patience gradually wore thin. He issued his final ultimatum.
The Outsider rulers and yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda were all ready to go. Everything was ready.
It was as if the heavens were building up momentum for this solemn atmosphere. Suddenly, a few claps of thunder rumbled through the cloudy sky.
The hazy radiance of the morning that was covered by the clouds and mist had also disappeared.
The entire void was filled with a gloomy atmosphere.
"Should we go or not?"
The Profound Pavilion's Divine Generals hidden outside couldn't sit still any longer. The bearded Old Third's expression was the most urgent. He clenched his sandbag-sized fists so tightly that they creaked. Beneath his thick brows, his eyes were fixed on the empty space, and his lips were tightly pursed.
The others looked at the God of Wine. Eighteen clenched her axe, Thirteenth Sister took a sip of her rouge, and Fifth Brother pulled out a sash from somewhere and tied it around his head.
Don't be fooled by the God of Wine's drunken, befuddled look, but he was the one in charge and the one who had the right to speak.
He looked like a drunkard, but he was more sober than anyone else.
"What …. Hic …. What's the rush?" The God of Wine's eyes were hazy, and his cheeks were red. "Just wait a little longer. You bunch of … hic … youngsters are too impatient. You haven't even …. Hic …. What are you in such a rush for? "
"Aren't we going to fight now?" said Third Brother. "That doesn't mean we haven't fought yet. Right now, the Bai Family still …. They don't know the relationship between the Profound Pavilion and the God Emperor's Estate. From Bai …. Haoran's expression, it's obvious that he's not sure. He's still … testing. If we go up now, wouldn't that be telling him that the Profound Pavilion has fallen out with the God Emperor's Estate?
The Bai Family …. Hic …. Are you sure we can handle them? "said the God of Wine.
"Boss, not even you?" said Thirteenth Sister in astonishment.
"Of course Bai Haoran won't be a problem. I'm just worried about their … patriarch. Big Sister said he's no ordinary person. He's hidden from the heavens. Even she can't divine his depths, "said the God of Wine.
"Then are we just going to watch?" asked Fifth Brother.
"Let's wait and see. If they really start fighting, the rest of you go up. I'll keep an eye on their patriarch. If we don't fight, it's best if we wait for Big Sis to arrive. Old Eighth Hu said that Big Sis and the others are rushing over here. Once our main forces arrive, the Bai Clan will be nothing. We'll flatten them if we say so, "said Wine God.
"Boss, you can speak more fluently now," said Thirteenth Sister.
"Really? I'll drink some more."
As soon as he finished speaking, the God of Wine raised his gourd and began to gulp down more wine.
The Bai family's Patriarch still exerted a lot of pressure on him. The God of Wine didn't know when the old man would emerge from his seclusion, so he had to maintain his peak condition at all times and prepare to fight the Bai family's Patriarch.
The others nodded in agreement. They stared at the void, ready to take action.
…
"Brat, don't be too arrogant. This is Spirit City's Bai Clan!"
"How impudent. How dare you speak such arrogant words."
"You're courting death!"
"Patriarch, what's the point of talking so much to him? Just kill him."
The Bai Family members were all enraged. The way they saw it, Ye Zichen was way too arrogant. He didn't take the Bai Family seriously at all.
"All of you, shut up!" roared Bai Haoran.
Bai Haoran's smile faded. He'd already given a junior like Ye Zichen plenty of face.
Yet Ye Zichen still didn't know when to back down and insisted on taking his nephew Bai Yulong's life. As the head of the family and his uncle, Bai Haoran had no face left.
Before leaving, he'd asked God Emperor Zhou Wu, but he'd received no reply.
This made him unsure what the Profound Pavilion and Society of Saints behind Ye Zichen were thinking. If he rashly attacked and injured Ye Zichen, the Profound Pavilion and Society of Saints would put pressure on him. He couldn't bear the consequences.
"Are you going to hand it over or not?" Ye Zichen furrowed his brows.
"Little friend, aren't you a bit too vicious?" Bai Haoran was still trying to beat around the bush.
"It seems you don't want to hand it over?"
"Then, little friend, are you planning on openly robbing me?" Bai Haoran's gaze froze. "With just your subordinates?"
"What? Isn't that enough?" said Ye Zichen.
Before he'd even finished speaking, countless figures suddenly appeared within the Bai Family estate.
All of them flew through the air, so dense they seemed to blot out the sky.
The yao servants in the Yao-Sealing Pagoda were all solemn. Ye Zichen, the Great Sage, and the others looked at the endless stream of Bai Family clansmen. Based on their numbers, they were definitely outnumbered.
Beneath his robes, Ye Zichen clenched his fists. Bai Haoran said in a low voice, "It really isn't enough.
Don't forget, this is Spirit City's Bai Family estate. "
More and more Bai Family clansmen flew through the air. By now, Ye Zichen understood: the first group was nothing but a bunch of small fries. These were the true elites of the Bai Family.
They were all sky supremes and above, and there were quite a few diviners as well.
There were also those standing behind Bai Haoran, all of them rulers. There were also those leading the Bai Family's army. Ye Zichen estimated that there were at least forty rulers.
This was the Bai Family's true strength. They were on par with the Divine Mountains and Holy Lands.
Yet they had no fewer than five God Emperors. In the future, Ye Zichen would have to face opponents like this.
The tables had turned. Before, Ye Zichen had the advantage in numbers, but now he was at an absolute disadvantage. The situation was dire. At that moment, Bai Haoran spoke up. "Little friend, I've already made concessions when you seized the city. I've never blamed you. You threatened to take my nephew's life and slaughter the Bai Family, but I still gave you enough face. Even so, you still spouted such arrogant words. Ye Zichen, do you really think the Bai Family is so weak that just anyone can provoke us? Don't say I didn't give you a chance.
Take your people and retreat, and I'll pretend none of this happened. "
Another concession.
Although Bai Haoran had summoned his clansmen, he'd still made concessions. In truth, he wasn't actually going to attack Ye Zichen. He just wanted to use his influence to pressure Ye Zichen into retreating.
At the end of the day, he didn't want to incur the wrath of the Profound Pavilion and Society of Saints.
The way Bai Haoran saw it, this much was enough. The situation was clear. If Ye Zichen wanted to take Bai Yulong's life now, it would be almost impossible.
So long as Bai Yulong's thoughts were normal, he would retreat.
Ye Zichen's eyes flashed as he watched the Bai Family clansmen surround them.
"Wei Rui."
"I'm here." The beautiful female leader of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda's yao servants stepped forward.
Wei Rui whispered a few words into her ear, then returned to the group. At the same time, Ye Zichen smiled and walked up to Bai Haoran.
