His hands that were crossed over his abdomen slowly opened up, and his ten fingers slowly opened up into claws. A faintly discernible Qi began to circulate between his fingers, gathering into a faint light. Yin Baikang's black robe fluttered without any wind. He was like a motionless mountain, but it gave people the feeling that something terrifying was brewing in his body that was about to explode!
"Not good! Yin Baikang seems to be making a move! " The Soul Forming Stage cultivator at the top had just spoken, but the others had already soared into the sky. They had obviously noticed it as well. What a joke, with Yin Baikang's cultivation, once he made a move, wouldn't it be a waste if they stood too close to be affected?
The surrounding cultivators also noticed that something was wrong. Seeing the group of Soul Forming Stage cultivators in the sky fleeing, how could they not know the terror of Yin Baikang's eruption? In an instant, figures flew everywhere, each faster than the last.
Yin Baikang, who was extremely furious, wanted to make a move. He wanted to destroy the cave in one fell swoop to vent the anger in his heart. However, just as the boundless True Essence in his body was about to circulate, a weak moan suddenly came from the cave before it could be released.
Yin Baikang was slightly startled. His divine sense was like lightning, filling the entire cave in an instant. Yin Wufeng, who was riddled with injuries, had appeared out of nowhere. He was looking around blankly as he climbed up, holding onto the cave wall as he walked step by step towards the light outside …
The powerful aura that he had accumulated disappeared in a blink of an eye. Yin Baikang's forehead was covered in a thin layer of sweat. His opponent's cultivation was too high, not just a little higher than his. He was practically treating him like a blade of grass, toying with him however he wanted. It was truly frightening!
Yin Baikang had never been so afraid before. Even when he was facing the world's number one expert, Bi Changchun, he had never felt so uneasy. The anger that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished. His opponent had completely ignored his existence. Yin Baikang did not dare to act rashly, because the consequences of destroying the cave would be unpredictable.
The group of Soul Forming Stage cultivators in the sky could not help but exclaim in surprise. They had just noticed that Yin Baikang's aura was getting stronger, and it looked like he was on the verge of exploding. Why did he suddenly retract his aura? A person walked out of the cave in a swaying manner, immediately attracting everyone's attention …
After not seeing strong light for a few days, Yin Wufeng subconsciously covered his eyes when he approached the cave entrance. After a while, he let go and saw the black-robed Yin Baikang standing outside the cave. He immediately ran over.
"Grandfather!" With a sorrowful cry, Yin Wufeng knelt on the ground and kowtowed while crying, "Wufeng is unfilial to have alarmed grandfather's presence."
"It's good that you're back. It was grandfather who implicated you." Yin Baikang's face revealed a rare trace of benevolence, but when he saw his grandson's ragged clothes and the lacerated flesh, he couldn't suppress his anger, causing his brows to tremble incessantly.
He then shouted angrily towards the cave, "Who exactly are you? With your cultivation, why are you torturing a mortal? " The sound was like an invisible sharp blade, scraping the layers of rocks that had been peeled off the walls of the cave, causing them to fall to the ground.
The Spirit Severing cultivators in the air were all bewildered. They didn't know just how high the cultivation of the person inside the cave was to be able to cause Yin Baikang to be so fearful. Even though he was so angry, he was still able to restrain himself and not make a move.
Seeing that no one in the cave replied, Yin Baikang looked around. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he knew that if he didn't act tough today, he would become a laughing stock for bullying the weak and fearing the strong. One must know that it was not shameful to submit to the world's number one expert, Bi Changchun, because no one dared to defy him. However, if he were to submit to this nameless person, then his, Yin Baikang's, reputation would be ruined today.
With this thought in mind, he couldn't care less about the other party's unfathomable cultivation. He shouted again, "Since you've come to me, then I, Yin Baikang, will not shirk my responsibility. Do you dare to come out and fight me?"
The people in the air and the surroundings immediately whispered to each other. Yin Baikang had taken the initiative to issue a challenge. The show that everyone had been looking forward to was finally about to happen. It had been a long time since they saw a Spirit Severing expert make a move.
However, after waiting for a long time, the thing that everyone was looking forward to did not happen. The mysterious expert still did not show himself. Instead, they heard Yin Wufeng's pleading voice, "Grandpa, please calm down. Your granddaughter-in-law and great-grandsons are in his hands. Please save them, grandpa."
"I'll send you to the side first. It's dangerous here. It's not a place for you to stay." Yin Baikang did not care about what he said. He looked around vigilantly and raised his hand to send him away.
Unexpectedly, Yin Wufeng knelt down and hugged his leg, begging again, "Grandpa, please save them. Please save them. If you don't agree, they're dead."
"Bastard! We don't even know where they are. How am I supposed to save them? "Yin Baikang reprimanded.
"Spirit stones, spirit stones are enough. He said that if I pay another 100 million high-grade spirit stones as ransom, he'll release my family. "Yin Wufeng hugged his leg and refused to let go.
"You actually believe this kind of nonsense?" Yin Baikang had the urge to slap him to death. It would have been fine if he did not say it, but now that he mentioned it, he only remembered that he paid 200 million high-grade spirit stones for the release of one person. Now, he wanted another 100 million. This was simply intolerable. This was too much!
The group of Soul Formation Realm cultivators in the air were paying attention to every movement below. The conversation between the grandfather and grandson left them speechless. This kidnapper was too greedy. He was not satisfied with just 200 million and released the people in batches. He even wanted to get 100 million. Did he think spirit stones were rocks that could be picked up as he pleased?
"Grandpa, I beg you, try again. He promised me that he'll release everyone after he gets the spirit stones." Yin Wufeng begged.
"Let go!" Yin Baikang said in a low voice, "If you don't let go, I'll kill you too."
"No, that person is ruthless. If we don't get the spirit stones, they'll die." Yin Wufeng cried bitterly, "Grandpa, for the sake of my dead grandma, for the sake of grandma, try again. Just one more time."
Yin Baikang's expression froze. The image of that gentle woman appeared in his mind. He had countless women in his life. Due to his high cultivation, he had lived for too long. In the end, he could only watch as those women aged.
After the women's beauty faded, they naturally could not attract his interest. Each and every one of them was fed well and lived well, waiting to die. He could not even remember how many he had. Only that woman, who was also his last woman, had died an unnatural death. Instead, her most beautiful face had been forever engraved in his heart.
After that, Yin Baikang knew that he had a limited lifespan. Even if he gave birth to a child with cultivation talent, he would not have the time to nurture them. Thus, he gave up on the thought of sowing more children. Therefore, among all the women, the last one was the woman he thought he loved the most.
This woman gave birth to a son for him. When the son was in his prime, he followed in his mother's footsteps and died a violent death. The son left behind another son, which was the grandson kneeling in front of him.
Yin Wufeng could be said to be the only flesh and blood of the woman he loved the most in his memory. Yin Wufeng's flesh and blood were naturally that woman's bloodline.
Humans lived for too long. When the woman that left the deepest impression in his memory was suddenly brought up, Yin Baikang suddenly felt like he could not bear the burden. His breathing became hurried.
According to the Soul Formation experts' estimation of Yin Baikang's character, him being able to fork out 200 million to save his grandson was already a great kindness. How could he allow someone to extort him again and again? However, the result was surprising. Yin Baikang silently took out a storage bag and threw it by his feet.
Yin Wufeng picked up the storage bag and kowtowed. He then turned around and crawled into the cave. After entering, he realized that the cave was a dead end. He anxiously searched around at the end. When he recalled the masked man's words, he hurriedly placed the storage bag on the ground and looked around, hoping that the masked man would fulfill his promise.
Yin Baikang's divine sense had been following his grandson all the way to the innermost part of the cave. This time, he used his divine sense to seal the entire cave tightly. He had to find out where the other party's divine sense came from. Who knows, he might be able to find out where the other party was hiding.
However, something unexpected happened. That strand of divine sense suddenly appeared. Yin Baikang's divine sense quickly trapped the other party's divine sense. However, not only did the divine sense come without a trace, it also disappeared without a trace. Just like that, the storage bag on the ground disappeared into thin air.
How was this possible? Yin Baikang was dumbfounded. Even if someone with a cultivation as high as Bi Changchun used teleportation, with his divine sense sealed, he would still be able to find out where they were going!
What … What kind of cultivation was this? Just with his divine sense, he had already surpassed the realm of teleportation? Yin Baikang immediately felt his back break out in cold sweat. If he was not clear, he could still make wild guesses. If he was too clear, he would be scared out of his wits.
One had to know that even teleportation could only be done if there was a path. Now that the other party's divine sense had already surpassed his previous knowledge, if the person was here personally, it would be hard to imagine how high his cultivation would be. Yin Baikang's back was drenched in cold sweat. He had never heard of such a divine ability.
"Bang!" Suddenly, there was an explosion from a faraway mountain. Yin Baikang was startled awake and looked up. A ray of light rose into the sky and exploded into specks of light.
Huo Zongming, who was in the Soul Formation Stage group, frowned and said, "That's strange. Why would someone release fireworks in this barren mountain? Everything that happened today is strange. Let's go take a look. "The five people beside him quickly followed him.
The six of them landed on a mountain top and saw eight to nine unconscious women and children lying on the bare mountain top. Every one of them had whip marks on their bodies. There was a rock beside them with words written on it: Yin Baikang, I am a man of my word. Take the money and release the people. Everything is settled. We will meet again if fate allows it.
On top of the rock, there was a small black triangular flag fluttering in the wind. The golden word "Hero" was exceptionally eye-catching. This action was very arrogant, as if it was mocking everyone.
Will meet again if fate allows it? Yin Baikang was probably going to vomit blood! Huo Zongming and the others looked at each other.
"Yin Baikang, bring your grandson here. There are nine unconscious women and children here. Let him see if they are his family members." Huo Zongming transmitted his voice to the direction of the valley far away.
A moment later, the sound of breaking through the air could be heard. Yin Baikang was holding a transparent ball of light in one hand. It was Yin Wufeng inside. When the two of them landed, Huo Zongming asked, "Yin Wufeng, take a look and see if these are your family members?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yin Wufeng knelt down and picked up a seven to eight year old child. He asked anxiously, "What happened to them? What's wrong? Grandpa, please save them. "
Yin Baikang didn't care about him at all. His gaze shifted from the few lines of words on the rock to the arrogant little flag. Shu Xin shook her head and said to Yin Wufeng, "They are fine. They just temporarily fainted."
A group of Soul Formation Stage cultivators rushed over. After witnessing the scene, they were all speechless. They were thinking that Yin Baikang had lost a lot of face this time. He threw out three hundred million upper grade spirit stones, but he didn't even get to see the other party's face. They didn't even know who this' hero 'was. It would be better not to provoke him in the future.
"Swoosh" Yin Baikang waved his palm. A powerful airflow surged and the rock with the words on it turned into dust. The black flag landed in his hand. He stared at the word 'hero' on the flag with an ashen face. He didn't care if Yin Wufeng's family could withstand the aftershock of his palm strike.
Fortunately, for the sake of the children, Shu Xin became compassionate. She flashed in front of them in time and pushed out a light wave with her slender palm. Otherwise, Yin Baikang's three hundred million upper grade spirit stones would have been in vain. He would only be redeeming a pile of minced meat.
Suddenly, Yin Baikang soared into the sky, shaking the clouds in the sky. His voice spread in all directions, "Sneaky, hiding, using a few mortals to make a fuss. What kind of ability is that? If you have the guts, come out and fight me!" He was currently muddle-headed from anger. He didn't care if the other party was a peerless expert or not.
His voice reverberated in the mountains. Birds and beasts fled in fright, but no one came out to answer him. Everyone looked at each other and thought, 'Maybe the kidnapper has already left.'
"Ah …" Yin Baikang let out a long angry roar. His figure suddenly rose and fell like a black shadow, shooting between heaven and earth. In an instant, an earth-shattering rumble resounded, causing the earth to tremble.
Yin Baikang's figure crashed into six towering mountains in a row. The six connected mountains were flattened in a split second. The mountain springs were still and the streams were nowhere to be seen. In the blink of an eye, they were covered by the soil that filled the mountain ravines, forming a vast flat land.
The surrounding mountains were also affected. The towering trees were like helpless withered grass, uprooted by the strong airflow and flying in all directions. A perfectly good old forest in the mountains was forcefully changed in an instant.
The Spirit Severing experts also released their Protective Qi to defend themselves. Huo Zongming naturally wouldn't let anything happen to Yin Wufeng. If this crazy guy turned around and found an excuse to cause trouble, it would be troublesome. He immediately formed a circle with the other five to protect the family.
Although everyone was shocked by this Spirit Severing expert's power, they weren't too surprised. After all, they had seen Bi Changchun in action. The world's number one expert was someone who could fly to the heavens and use lightning as a sword. He was even more terrifying when he went crazy. Yin Baikang was much weaker than him. Therefore, everyone's mental endurance was no longer the same as before.
However, to the dumbfounded Yin Wufeng, he only found out today how powerful a person like his grandfather was. He also understood how much his grandfather had suffered today. This was the action of a person who had nowhere to vent his anger! The suffering that his family had suffered had been thrown to the back of his mind …
