This flying sword had just saved Ye Zichen's life. Bai Jinsheng's aura surged. He clenched his fist, and the nine flying swords stabilized in the air. Then, he shot towards the Bai Family's inner courtyard.
Ding, ding, ding.
With a few crisp clangs, the flying swords were knocked aside. Before long, Bai Haoyu walked out, his expression grave and stern.
Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei were stunned as well. They'd assumed it was Yang Jian and the Great Sage. They hadn't expected it to be this person.
"Lil 'Yu."
The Bai Family patriarchs froze as well. Bai Haoyu knocked the flying swords away and arrived before them.
"Patriarchs."
"Why are you here?" asked the patriarchs.
"Of course it's me. Did you really think I'd lose?" Bai Haoyu's expression was calm.
They naturally didn't think Bai Haoyu would lose. However, Bai Jinsheng's flying swords were aimed at Ye Zichen's life. When Bai Haoyu knocked them aside, they thought reinforcements had arrived.
They stared intently at Bai Haoyu. They needed an explanation.
"What's wrong with them?"
Asked Pu Jingwan. Bai Haoyu glanced at her. "They're doing fine. Those two really are your top experts. Even I can't do anything to them right now. However, the situation here caught my attention, so I came to take a look. "
"Do you want to personally help Yulong deal with this guy?" With that, Bai Jinsheng took a few steps back.
Bai Haoyu walked over. Ye Zichen's aura was as imposing as ever. His intimidating eyes were fixed on Bai Jinsheng the entire time, never wavering in the slightest.
Even when Bai Haoyu arrived by his side, he didn't notice.
"As expected."
Seeing Ye Zichen's situation, Bai Haoyu nodded. To everyone's surprise, he didn't look at Ye Zichen with the slightest bit of hostility. On the contrary, his gaze was filled with respect.
Ye Zichen bowed deeply, then said something that left everyone flabbergasted.
"Can you let him go?"
The way Bai Haoyu saw it, it didn't matter if someone was sincere, passionate, or evil, as long as their heart was filled with obsession, they were worthy of respect.
He admired such a person. With a trace of obsession in his heart, he was able to make a dying person explode with astonishing power. He was able to make a dead person come back to life and fulfill his wish. If such a person died, he would feel pity.
Bai Haoyu had rushed all the way here just to help Ye Zichen survive.
Even if they were supposed to be enemies, Bai Haoyu was willing to let go of his grudges and let him go, based on his stubbornness!
Dumbfounded!
They were all dumbfounded!
No one could have imagined that Bai Haoyu would say something like that. Bai Mingli frowned, then snorted coldly at Bai Jinsheng.
"Your son!"
Pleading for mercy on behalf of the enemy, who had slaughtered over a hundred thousand members of the Bai Family.
Bai Mingli snorted coldly and walked to the side. Bai Jinsheng's face was filled with anger as he shouted at him.
"Do you know what you are talking about? Xiao Yu, I know you are righteous, but you need to look at the situation clearly."
"Can't I?" Bai Haoyu sighed, not bothering to argue.
Elder Ancestor Bai did not say a word, but his meaning was clear.
He looked silently at Ye Zichen, then at Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei. Ye Zichen's gaze sharpened, and he swung his fist.
"Is it them?"
Ye Zichen retreated a few dozen meters. As his killing intent receded, he came to a stop.
"Is this alright? He …. I'll deal with him myself, but can you let these two women go?" Bai Haoyu pointed at Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei.
"That's fine," said the patriarch.
Out of respect for Xiao Ting, they didn't really want to do anything to Xiao Yumei. Besides, the outcome was already set in stone. Letting them go didn't matter. Even if they resented the Bai Family, it didn't matter.
If the two of them destroyed such an enormous family, it would be a colossal joke.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
Bai Haoyu hefted his rapier and slowly approached Ye Zichen.
The most respectable thing about these people who were born from their obsessions was that they were only born for their obsessions and did not have any other emotions in them.
In other words, they would do everything in their power to protect the people they wanted to protect. But as for himself, even if someone tried to kill him, he wouldn't respond in the slightest.
The sword hovered above Ye Zichen's neck, its edge cutting into his skin.
Drops of blood dripped from the edge of the sword, but Ye Zichen stood there like a statue.
"Don't you dare!"
Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei bombarded the barrier repeatedly, but Bai Mingli's cultivation was far higher than theirs. Their attacks only caused a small crack to appear on the barrier, which Bai Mingli then meticulously healed.
Outside the seal, Bai Haoyu could clearly sense their impatience. He'd wanted to let Ye Zichen go, even if they'd still be enemies in the future.
Or rather, he was willing to give someone like Ye Zichen another chance to live.
However, he couldn't disobey his patriarch. This was filial piety!
After pleading on Ye Zichen's behalf, Bai Haoyu didn't argue. He knew that all he could do was keep the person he cared about alive.
"Fellow Daoist."
Bai Haoyu's way of addressing Ye Zichen had changed. By now, he viewed Ye Zichen as an opponent worthy of respect, even if their previous cultivation levels were like a chasm between heaven and earth.
"Being able to protect these two friends of yours is already the limit of my ability. I can't keep you alive, but the last thing I can do for you is to make sure you leave in less pain. Don't blame me. "
Bai Haoyu muttered a few words into Ye Zichen's ear. He didn't care if Ye Zichen could hear him or not. With a whoosh, he shot a hundred meters into the air. He wouldn't torture Ye Zichen. In order to show his respect, he'd use his strongest sword technique to send Ye Zichen off.
Buzz.
The rapier soared into the sky.
The vibrating rapier split into two, then into four ….
In the blink of an eye, the sky was filled with sword images. Bai Haoyu stood within the formation, grasping the rapier in the center.
"Ten Thousand Swords …."
Just as he finished building up energy and was about to attack, four swords tore through the air. Two of them were aimed at the patriarch's forehead, while the other two were aimed at Bai Haoyu's vitals.
In addition, a long ribbon wrapped around Bai Haoyu's sword-wielding wrist.
After a few breaths of time, five figures shot through the air and appeared by his side.
Four of them were holding onto the hilt of their swords, while one of them had a ribbon tied around her wrist and was tugging on her ribbon tightly.
When they saw this, Pu Jingwan and Xiao Yumei's eyes reddened inexplicably. Thirteenth Sister, on the other hand, burst into tears.
"Big Sister, you're finally here!"
