Chapter 871 "Three Months (3)"
"Yes, it's because of those people from the Spirit Realm who came to make trouble that Mother would want to get stronger. She wants to fight by Baddie Father's side. Because she saw how strong those people were."
Despite the disturbing black aura oozing out of the boy's skin slightly calming down after those words, the bloodthirsty red light in those eyes only got deeper and more menacing. Towards this abnormal change, Zheng Qi and everyone else was starting to get seriously worried and panicking.
To be fair, they're not overreacting or anything of that sort. The Bai Xiachen at this moment was nothing like the cute and innocent boy that they knew, it's something far darker and dangerous to the point they almost couldn't recognize him....
"Xiachen... what exactly is happening to you? Please come back to your senses and not scare your grandshifu here. We're getting really scared."
The kid did not answer Zheng Qi's plea and continued on with his hair-raising ramble: "Grandshifu, do you think those in the Spirit Realm deserve to die? Yes, they all do.... They all deserve to die. Whether it be the Spirit Realm or Celestial Realm, all of them deserve to die!"
Yes, they all deserve death for what they've done. It's they who caused me and Mother to be separated. I will tear them apart for this!
"Prince," Dragony did not get frightened off by the menacing aura and instead came right up to the boy. Firm and strong in that voice: "You are right, it's all their fault! I will also get strong and tear those people apart! They're the ones at fault for what happened to Her Highness!"
For this little missy, whatever Bai Xiachen says would always be right. Therefore, whether it be the Celestial Realm or Spirit Realm, they're all her enemies now and must be removed from existence!
Those who caused the Queen's death deserve to die!
......
At the same time in the Demon Realm, Di Cang was just in the middle of discussing something with his subordinates when his chest felt an abrupt tremor and tightening of the heart.
"Sire," Fire Plume exclaims after noticing the ugly expression on the demon king's face, "What's wrong?!"
Somewhat pale in the face: "The blood seal I placed on my son is starting to fail. Something must've happened to cause him to react so strongly."
But who can make Xiachen lose control....? Not good! Yan Yan must be in danger!
Brushing right past the group of demons in front of himself, nobody was able to catch Di Cang's incredibly speed when he rushed out of the door......
......
Inside the Holy Domain, Bai Yan currently stands before a huge mountainous beast with her clothes mostly ripped in all sorts of places, thus revealing some of her private bits that would instantly raise a scandal in public.
"What is happening?"
Feeling the vibration that's causing all of the trees to topple over, those brows wrinkled up at the unexpected phenomenon: "Is it because I killed too many of these monsters that the Holy Domain is collapsing? This can't be. If so then the domain wouldn't have allowed so many of them to fight me." Gradually growing serious in the face, she scans the area in front to get a better grasp of the situation.
Everything was falling to pieces for sure at first glance. While the sky showed signs of being torn apart, the ground too was cracking and toppling everything over. This effect also applied to the body of water too. Because of how huge those waves were, it's almost a certain death if one's caught in that tsunami like impact.
Is the Holy Domain really crumbling apart? I must find a way out of here, otherwise I might not ever leave again. But how? The Lord only told me the people in the past only come out after they die, he never mentioned the method of leaving on my own. Do I have to die as well? No, that can't be right. Death in this place is real, there's no resurrection like in the mini one.
Growing more and more tense, Bai Yan could not mask the anxiety that's quickly creeping up from behind.
Chapter 872 "The Mainland's Change (1)"
Right now the entire Holy Domain looks like apocalypse has fallen onto this world. It's terrifying just to look at and life threatening to experience.
There's an urgent need for Bai Yan to leave but she's not crazy enough to start running around without a clue or plan. Just as she's deliberating on what to do next, one of the rubbles – specifically a tree stump – had come flying over.
Bang!
Meeting the rubble with a palm strike, the wooden block instantly gets rip to shred and scatters across the ground. Unfortunately, that was only the first of many tree stumps to attack her. In rapid succession, the rubbles are acting like it has a mind of its own and kept bombarding her with either boulders or tree scraps from all direction.
Shielding herself with a barrier made up of her own energy: "This isn't look good. I have to find a way out quickly, otherwise I won't just be trapped here from the way things are looking, I will disappear along with the Holy Domain!" Tightly furrowing her brow, sweat now covers up her palm due to the intensifying rumble.
Suddenly, the face of her own husband and son appears in the mind. Upon remembering those who are still waiting for her outside, that anxiousness transforms into conviction and strength.
"I will not die in a place like this. Xiachen and Di Cang is still waiting for me. I cannot meet my end in such a place alone."
Then from of nowhere, the wooden pile that she was standing on suddenly collapses underneath due to a hole on the ground. As a result of this unexpected danger, she too was caught off guard and began to fall. But before the unknown darkness could consume her, a hand suddenly reaches out and grabs hold of her and pulls the woman right back up.
Swinging her head around right away to see who this was, Bai Yan's face froze at the sight. It's a very familiar contour that has brought on endless warmth and protection over the years.
"How come you are here?" she asks with a stunned look.
"Because you are in danger, that's why I came." Bright and warm like the burning sun, the man's smile lights up her heart just by speaking. "If you want to leave the domain then I will help you...."
Releasing a beam of joy in her own face, Bai Yan couldn't help but respond right away: "Okay, I want to go out."
Gesturing with his finger at the air, a strange light emerges from the tip as Chu Yi God mutters some silent spell from his lip. Gradually, a door forms from this. "Go, this door will lead you back to the outside."
Nodding, Bai Yan takes a few steps forward before she swings around again to find Chu Yi God already facing her with his back: "Chu Yi God, you.... who exactly are you? How is Chu Yi Feng related to you?"
This man not only has the exact same face as him, but the fact that he could come and go as he pleases within the Holy Domain indicated they're somehow connected. She be a fool to believe otherwise.
"I cannot tell you for the time being. You will find out on your own once you reach the Celestial Realm."
"I see."
Out of consideration for saving herself twice, Bai Yan won't press the matter. Slowly but with measured steps, she opens the door and leaves behind the man in the crumbling background.
Losing that smile now that he's alone again, Chu Yi God reveals the sadness in those calm watery eyes: "I hope you will still be like this to me after you learns the truth."
Closing his eyes, the picture of the woman's look of hatred slowly surfaces again, just like all those years ago....
Chapter 873 "The Mainland's Change (2)"
If... if only she doesn't hate me, even if that means she won't remember me, it's still better that way....
Slowly opening his eyes, Chu Yi God's face actually seemed particularly sad and lonely at this moment.
......
Back over in the peach blossom forest, Dragony's tear dropping cry continues to reverberate across this landscape with no end in sight. Zheng Qi (first) and the others weren't doing so well either, their faces were all full of sadness.
"What are you all doing here?" This abrupt intrusion of familiarity instantly catches their attention.
It's a woman wearing a beautiful red dress. Though some parts are obviously torn and hurriedly mended with some threads, it still couldn't ruin that magnificent contour.
"Mother!"
Bai Yan was just in the middle of making a confused and surprised face at the group when the small little lump of tender flesh threw himself at her stomach. Because of this, she nearly couldn't catch him and fell over.
"Mother, I was so scared...." The boy's hand tightens around her waist as if the very thought of letting go would mean losing his precious mother. "I thought you wouldn't come back anymore and leave me alone here."
All pitiful as he looks up, the boy had nothing left of that darkness from earlier, only the deep level of fear he felt.
"Did I scare you just now?" Seeing the mirror all shattered on one side, she didn't need to guess what happened while she wasn't around. Tightly hugging the poor steambun, she allows her own body's warmth to sooth that frightened heart: "Don't worry Son, I won't leave you."
"Really?"
Perhaps the shock and possibility of losing Bai Yan was just too strong that the little guy actually showed distrust in the face.
"Look, didn't I come back as promised?" Picking up the suspicious look coming from her own boy, the woman hurries to spread those arms out to show she's alive and well.
Though the suspicious gaze didn't completely dissipate but the explanation was enough to calm him enough to let go of that iron grip. "Mother, you must take me along no matter where you go, okay? I am not a baggage. I can help and not make trouble too."
"Oh my baby," lifting the kid up to pat his back, "the Holy Domain really isn't suitable for you, and not to mention I'm back am I not? Don't worry Xiachen. If one day mother here ends up in the Underworld then I will fight my way back to you, believe me okay?"
Making a stubborn shake of his little head, Bai Xiachen clearly didn't agree to this idea: "I won't let Mother go to the Underworld alone. Even if you do, I will also jump in there and force them to back off until we're home again."
"Okay...." that comment literally melts her heart.
Indeed, how could she refuse such a wonderful thing when her son's so sensible? In this life the greatest choice she's ever made was to give birth to this little guy when all the world went against the idea.
Chapter 874 "The Mainland's Change (3)"
Now that her son's been appeased, Bai Yan immediately focuses in on the aggrieved looking missy that's been looking at herself the entire time: "Were you scared as well Dragony?"
Despite the gentle tone she used, it only had the counter effect and causes the lass to cry out like a waterfall. At the same moment, Dragony also threw herself at those arms, causing the tears to stain the clothes all over as well.
"Queen, you are the best person in the world to me, better than those relatives of mine. I don't want to.... I don't want anything to happen to you."
Patting that weeping girl's back, a touch of aching pain grips Bai Yan's heart: "I know Dragony, I know... Since the day I took you in I have already thought of you as my daughter. Aside from me, Xiachen and Little Rice is also your family. If I'm not around in the future then you must support each other, understand?"
Nodding in a seemingly understanding manner, "Okay, I will wait for you to come back to us with His Highness like usual."
Shifting her attention over to the four men now that she's done comforting the children, Bai Yan smiles first so she doesn't get yelled at.
"You rascal..." Zheng Qi sounded almost grumpy and blaming: "Would it hurt you to not scare the three of us for once?"
"I'm sorry Shifu, I know this is my fault." Bai Yan apologizes without a second delay.
As the old saying goes, showing you're sorry always work when it comes to those whom cares about you. This was especially true when the entire situation was caused by her lack of forethought.
"Aigh," Zheng Qi sighs helplessly at the woman's words, "I just don't understand why you are so headstrong in that body of yours. Years ago you could've set up your own power by using the Holy Land's influence, but you never once reveal your identity and created all that you have today. I simply can't follow what goes that brain of yours."
Qiu Shu Rong (third) also shoots a stare at his own student there: "Zheng Qi is right, from now on you can't do such dangerous things again and stay right here in the Holy Land where it's safe. You have connections in all three powers anyway, there's no need for you to risk your life."
"Mmm," Bai Yan muddles through with her agreement and gets a relieved sigh from the third shifu.
As if I will let her get into danger again as long as she stays in the Holy Land? Qiu Shu Rong vows to himself inwardly.
"Oh right, I have to leave the Holy Land for a while. I estimate it will be a few days before I return."
"You..." the third elder nearly choked at his own breath. Pointing at the woman accusingly, he's completely red in the face and unable to sputter a word. Didn't she just promise me? How can she forget so soon?
Not giving any of these seniors a chance to respond, Bai Yan swiftly snatches up both kids and made a run for the outer perimeter of the forest.
Jumping up and down out of frustration, Qiu Shu Rong stamps his feet repeatedly: "Rascal, hold it right there!"
That only made the woman slip away even faster. In a flash, Bai Yan and her children were completely out of view this time instead of just running off. That's literally godspeed!
Wanting to pursue the worrisome woman now that he's been had, Qiu Shu Rong was just about to move when Lord Chu Ran stopped him with a hand.
"Third Elder, Bai Yan's path doesn't lie here, it lies in a world much further away. If we hinder her, it will only make things more difficult."
Huffing a grunt at the Lord: "I don't have any great ambitions, nor do I need my disciple to become the lord and master of existence. I only want her to live a safe and happy life, that is enough."
Chu Ran smiles bitterly: "Third Elder, did you forget Bai Yan is the only one to ever walk out of the Holy Domain unscathed? In the past three years, the girl has succeeded in so many things that I can no longer see through her strength. So, the path that she wants to take isn't something you nor I can stop."
Chapter 875 "The Mainland's Change (4)"
Qiu Shu Rong's was stiff as a rock as he showed a bittersweet face. "I know a dragon cannot be stopped from taking flight, that truth isn't unknown to me Lord. But how do you expect me to just accept it as is? I only have this one precious disciple. Would you be able to bear watching her struggle so desperately?" Two lines of murky tear slowly trickles down that old senior's cheek, indicating how sorrowful and sad he really felt.
Patting his younger brother's shoulder, Ren Yi could easily relate to the third elder's emotion right now. But this was their student's choice and not for them to decide.
"Granshifus." From out of the blue, a soft tender voice drifts over from the front.
Looking up, Zheng Qi and his two brothers could see it was the boy returning to them from the front.
"Grandshifus, Mother is afraid you won't let her leave so she sent me over instead. She wants me to pass on these alchemic recipes to you three for practice while she's not around." Rummaging through his storage bag, the little steambun casually hands over a trove of treasure to these seniors.
"And, Mother said all three grandshifus will always be her shifu regardless of where she runs off to. She will always cherish the time she spent here." After saying that, the boy did the most sensible thing and respectively gave them each a hug. Done with that, he also made sure to leave another message to the third elder: "Third Granshifu, Mother said she knows you care about her alot, but don't worry, I will be with her. If Mother does anything risky and I don't approve then I will smack her bottom for you, okay?"
Sighing at the sensible words coming out of this little kid's mouth, Qiu Shu Rong just couldn't help but rub that head in resignation. "You child.... Oh forget it, tell your mother I won't force her to stay. But if I ever learn of her risking her life again like this time then she can forget about leaving the Holy Land. I will lock her up if I have to!"
"Don't worry Third Grandshifu, I will supervise Mother in your stead." Nodding in agreement, Bai Xiachen was all in on this idea. He too has been scared out of his wits so anything like the Holy Domain venture was out of the question from now on.
Laughing at the child's poor attempt at being a adult, the third elder definitely felt a bit better now. Wiping some of those tears away: "Okay, your grandshifu here will believe in you. If your mother is not being good then you must come back and tell us."
"I got it!" Spreading his hands high like an innocent child, it's hard to doubt the boy's promise when he's acting so loveable. "Everyone, I will miss all of you." Making a goodbye gesture, he then trotted back for the outer perimeter where the two ladies should be waiting still.
Moment later, the tiny figure too was out of sight from this group.
"Yan Yan's fortune isn't bad at all. She's blessed with such a good and sensible son." Lord Chu Ran makes a long sigh despite the smile on his face. "I wonder when I will be able to hold a grandson of my own? But with Yi Feng's personality, I doubt his children will be as lively and lovely as Xiachen."
As for Yi Yi.....
Just getting the thought of how his own daughter would make the lord squirm. He still hasn't forgotten the time where the kid and troublesome lass went and lit the treasury vault ablaze. They really lost some nice stuff during that incident.
Oh forget that thought. Leaving my hope on Yi Yi is out of the question. If she starts having children then wouldn't she start making trouble with those kids too?
In any case, its best not to marry off the girl so soon. Yes, that's the plan.....
Thankfully the princess herself didn't know what her old pa was thinking, otherwise she might just start crying.
Chapter 876 "The Mainland's Change (5)"
"Mother, where are we going now?"
Outside the Holy Land, Bai Xiachen stops his mother and asks using that childish voice.
"We're going back to the Medicine Sect first before going to the Lan House to see your great-grandfather."
Old Lord Lan's love for her has always been true and from the heart, not because of anything else. Besides, it's been a while since she saw that side of her family so its only natural she make a visit.
"After we meet everyone, we will then go look for your uncle."
Staring up into the sky, Bai Yan's thought wonders off into the question of not knowing where her younger brother was right now. Now matter how confident she makes others believe, Bia Xiao would always be someone she cares about and worry for.
Medicine Sect.
Sitting on a stone stool located inside a pavilion, Bai Chang Feng places the black chess piece onto the board before laughing aloud: "Senior Qi, that's my win again. Your condition isn't so good today eh."
"This... I guess I'm just too tired today. Once I rest for a bit then I'll be fine." The one known as Senior Qi smiles awkwardly.
"Losing is losing, what excuses are you making?" Smiling right up to the eye, Bai Chang Feng teases his peer, "But since my mood is so nice today I won't argue with you on that point. We can continue our matches tomorrow."
BANG!
Suddenly, loud smacking rumble knocks the two seniors off their idle state. Startled and alarmed, Bai Chang Feng immediately gets up. "This... what happened?"
"Chief, I'll go out and see." Senior Qi's expression grew serious as he arches his fist.
"No," narrowing his eyes into a slit, the grandpa's expression was just as grave: "I will go with you. This can't be normal if they dare to come find trouble!" Having said that, he didn't waste any more time and blew forward for the main gate.
......
Outside the Medicine Sect's main entranceway, a group of powerful masters are currently floating above in the air while the disciples of this major power cowered in fear against their might.
By the time Bai Chang Feng made it to the scene, all he saw was the shivering display of his men and the intense pressure coming downwards from these strangers. It's obvious what's happening and it's not looking good.
"Who are you people, and why are you coming to my Medicine Sect?"
The one to answer was the middle-aged man leading the group. Arrogant in the face, this person made no attempt to hide his contempt for those down below: "We're taking this place now, all of you are to get lost!"
Bai Chang Feng's expression promptly changed for the worse. These people want to occupy my home as soon as they come? Do they really think I'm so easily pushed over?
"This mountain is the foundation of my Medicine Sect, of course we're not going to give it to you people. Now leave!" Hands behind his back, the grandpa was crystal clear in his denial.
Glowing with a shady light now, the middle-aged man clearly didn't take this answer well. "We of the Wu House from the Spirit Realm will not be denied. If you won't give up this mountain then be prepared to fight for it!" No more words needed, he gradually raises a hand to signal those behind himself...
In an instant, a circle of people now surrounds those from the Medicine Sect. Due to the incredibly strong aura coming off of each individual, not even Bai Chang Feng could remain unfazed.
"If I live then my sect lives, if I die then my sect dies! I, Bai Chang Feng, will not yield!"
"Chief!"
Those disciples were greatly shocked by what they heard. One of the more outspoken younglings speaks up using a weak tone: "Chief, we can still rebuild the sect if we lose the mountain. These people are extremely strong from the outlook, and just now Elder Tian Lei didn't even last a single hit from one of them. Now he's seriously injured over there...."
Chapter 877 "The Mainland's Change (6)"
There's only a handful of people within the Medicine Sect that could match up to Elder Tian Lei's strength, therefore it's not surprising some would begin to fear after seeing this senior be seriously injured with one blow.
A wise man knows better than to fight when the odds are against him, that's the sort of belief running through some of these disciples head.
"I will not stop those who want to leave!" Bai Chang Feng states this with grim determination, "And, the ancestors have left word that we cannot abandon this place no matter the reasoning."
After hearing the stubbornness of this old grandfather, some of the more cowardly individuals who feared death immediately began to show themselves. Standing up, they started to run off towards the base of the mountain with much regard for their peers.
If Bai Chang Feng said he's not disappointed by the betrayal then he be lying. However, he didn't stop them because useless deaths today won't have any impact on the final fight. Of course, those who fled remains on the smaller side while more decided held the courage to stay till the end.
"What are you all doing?" it was Elder Qi who stepped forward to yell at the traitors. His old face was livid as he points at the small group of fleeing youngsters.
One of them turns after hearing the outcry: "Elder Qi, I suggest you come with us as well. Do you see Elder Tian Lei to the side over there? That is what's going to happen to you if you stay. You didn't see it because you weren't here earlier, but the one who did that is nothing more than a subordinate of that man!"
Elder Qi's face went slightly green: "To think our Medicine Sect would have such cowardly bastards like you all! If you leave now then you are to never return!"
"You must be kidding right? Why would we come back when the Medicine Sect's about to become non-existent? Keeping our lives is more important." That said, the younger didn't waste any more time rushed away for the outside.
Although this one paid a huge price in order to enter the Medicine Sect back then, but today's choice won't be something he regrets.
Why stay when its certain death?
"Hoho, some people here at least knows better," the middle-aged man makes a sarcastic sneer in that comment. "I don't want to indiscriminately kill those who are innocent. Anyone who doesn't wish to stay is free to leave, I won't stop them. However, once the battle starts then none is leaving here alive!"
Boom!
After those words, the aura around this person immediately began to surge outward, shrouding the entire mountain in a thick coat of pressure.
For some of the disciples who decided to stay till the end, they stayed because of Bai Chang Feng's existence. The old grandpa's one of the strongest individuals out there in this world. So what if Elder Tian Lei was defeated in a single blow? Maybe their chief could turn the tide around?
But now to experience the foe's aura firsthand and in person, many who are fully resolved to fight till the end was also starting to waiver. It couldn't be helped, the pale looking complexion on their chief told them things are looking bad.
"Chief, Elder Qi, I think those disciples are not exactly wrong..." One of the meeker sounding elders speaks up: "Let's not die here for something as simple as a mountain. A sect can be rebuilt anywhere as long as we have our people."
"What do you mean by that Elder Lin?" Elder Qi became enraged by his peers lack of a backbone: "Chief has his reasons for staying. If you are afraid of death then you can leave with the rest of them!"
Chapter 878 "The Mainland's Change (7)"
Elder Lin's old face had a look of shame. Silently moving back a few steps, his actions proved what sort of decision he has made right now. However, there were no other that followed his choice because everyone else now stands firmly behind Bai Chang Feng to confront that mountainous pressure.
Cackling menacingly, the middle-aged man grins at the foolish bunch: "The last act of mercy from me has been given, it's you fools who didn't cherish it. Don't complain after you die!" That said, he takes in another deep breath while waving his hand again. "Begin! Aside from that Elder Lin, none of them is allowed to live!"
While the one known as Lin felt great at being able to survive this event, Bai Chang Feng on the other hand was growing very tense and sharp in the face. Sweaty in that old hand, he locks onto the quickly closing enemy.
Bang!
Swinging to one side to avoid the first punch, this chief could feel the immense power that he so narrowingly dodged. Unfortunately, there are plenty more where that came from. The second blow came hitting hard and landed exactly on Bai Chang Feng's side. If not for his fast reaction of using the sword in his hand to stabilize that stance after being blown aside, he would've already fallen to the ground in the process.
"Chief!" Elder Qi's face looked ghostly white. Hurrying to his superior's side, the senior tries hard to support that crumbling body. "Chief, are you alright?"
Shaking that old head in response, Bai Chang Feng didn't have any time to say another word there because the next wave of attack was already at his face. Pushing the other senior away, he jumps right in this time to fight the enemy instead of just defending.
If it was only one or two foes then this lord and master of the Medicine Sect would have no problem resisting their blows, however, there are simply too many. Two fists cannot counter a dozen hands so naturally he would be on the losing end.
As for the others remaining in the Medicine Sect, sadly, they're no more than toddlers in the eyes of these invaders. They aren't even worth their interest.
Pffff!
After several exchanges, Bai Chang Feng's strength had gradually started to lose its momentum; therefore, he was already at his last stand and had no strength to resist when the sword came thrusting over from the back. In the end the blade pierced right through his rib and out through that chest.
Blurring out in his eyes from this critical injury, sorrow spreads out from the old grandpa's heart at the impending doom.
It looks like this time the one to get the last laugh is going to be that old fart from the Misty Fairy House. If I die today then Yan Yan will only have him as her grandfather and no one else to compete with him!
But.....
I still didn't get to see Ning'er (daughter) get reunited with Yan Yan yet, am I really going to pass on like this and join my wife?
Oh fine, following my wife to the afterworld wouldn't be so bad. She must be lonely after spending so many years on the other side by herself. Guess it's time I joined her.....
In the end, the old grandpa burst out into a laughing fit. There are many regrets from dying today, but one thing he doesn't regret though was sending his son Bai Zhanpeng out of here before this event. Otherwise he might not be able to face his deceased wife.
Suddenly, a hazy yet familiar face reflects into Bai Chang Feng's eyes while he was having all these negative thoughts. There's sadness and anger, but more were filled with pain in the woman's contour....
"So before one dies, they will hallucinate like the stories say? How come I'm seeing Yan Yan and her son back here?" He mutters this to himself without any forethought.
Yan Yan left with her husband to a distant place, there's no way she could be here. Yes, this is all an illusion, the picture before death....
But this was no illusion like this old grandpa thought. Right when he's about to collapse and fall into darkness, that female he so dearly wishes to see had reached out to support his failing body.
Chapter 879 "The Mainland's Change (8)"
When Bai Chang Feng's consciousness was on the verge of drifting away into the darkness, a fleeting touch of soothing freshness catches him. It's a cold liquid being poured into his already bloodied mouth and the effects were the quick mending of his wounds.....
"Grandfather, I'm sorry I'm late." Bai Yan slowly places her patient down on the floor, afraid the slightest bump would harm the old man further.
"Who just attacked my grandfather?" Though that voice was light and fluttery like a breeze, it's infused with an enormous form of killing intent where even the bravest man would find hard to not flinch at. That's the sort of face she's using against this group of rabbles who came to make trouble.
"It's me..." The one responsible answered after a second of startlement.
So what if I-
But before this fool could say anymore disgusting words to dirty the air, a flash of blinding light had shot in front of his face. In a time frame so fast that one could barely catch with the naked eye, Bai Yan was able to reach over and directly rip one of the man's arm right off, leaving that open wound gushing with blood without any chance of retaliation....
"Ahhh!"
The ear-piercing scream didn't come until quite a while later. At first the individual didn't even realize what had happened to himself, but after turning his head and looking down at the spraying blood coming out of his shoulder, that's when the pain finally registers into the brain. Sometimes the senses aren't able to keep up with reality due to the immense shock the body experiences, and that's exactly what happened here today.....
Towards this gruesome picture, none dared to make a move. Aside from that one fool screaming cries of pain, everyone else was overwhelmed and fell into a deadly silent. To be clear, it's not just those from the Medicine Sect who were shocked, those from the Spirit Realm were as well despite they immense power strength.
But then again, how could they not? If this maimed person could defeat one of the elders here in the Medicine Sect without so much as a sweat then what does that make this lady who just barged in on the fight? Clearly she's beyond powerful and a major threat to the invaders.
"Who else injured my grandfather?" Bai Yan's sharp threatening gaze scans the area until that pair of eyes eventually locks onto the leader of the bunch.
Flickering with a cold light, the middle-aged man roars out in frustration: "Kill everyone here in the Medicine Sect, do not allow anyone leave here alive!"
In that instant, those who were dazed out by the sudden intrusion had come back to their senses. Surrounding Bai Yan from all angles, the invaders had no intention of letting her escape.
"Aoompahumppp!"
Bai Chang Feng has now gradually regained his clarity after being healed by that medicine he ingested. He's unsure what's going on still at the moment, but when he saw the woman's confronting position before the enemy, his expression instantly turned ugly and distraught.
"What are you doing by coming back? Hurry and leave, go as far away as possible!" The last words there were yelled out using the last of his strength, thus exhausting the old grandpa's body entirely.
"Leave, hurry and leave!"
Seeing the inaction of his precious granddaughter, Bai Chang Feng attempts to yell out his pleaful cry for the second time only to almost lose his old voice.
"Grandfather, don't be afraid, Mother will be alright." A childish voice came from the side.
It's only then that the grandfather finally notices the two little fellas beside himself. It was Bai Xiachen and Dragony that's trying to appease his woes.
"Why are you here Xiachen? How can your mother bring you to such a dangerous place? Quickly leave, you must leave. It doesn't matter where but you can't stay here." Forcibly pushing himself up, the old grandfather wanted to shoo the two kids away before it's too late.
"I believe in Mother." The kid swings to one side and narrowingly avoids the hand coming over.
"You..." that old lip stammers continuously out of helpless frustration.
Originally he thought the girl and her son's return was just his own illusion. Clearly it's not and he's falling into a panic at their insistent to stay.
Chapter 880 "Angry (1)"
"They have nothing to do with me anymore, nor will they stay here." Bai Chang Feng wants to salvage the last bit of hope he has left by making up this lie, "So, let them leave the mountain. They are not involved in this."
The middle-aged man sneered at the obvious deceit: "If it was before then perhaps, I would've agreed to the request. Unfortunately for you though, this woman harmed one of my subordinates. Now I won't let a single one of you escape!"
Hurt his subordinate?
Baffled by what he's heard, Bai Chang Feng shifts his attention over to the indicated man wearing the grey robe. The blood leaking out of that freshly made wound told the entire story. The way the woman ripped off his arm was ruthless and cold. There's still blood dripping downwards and the veins and muscles dangling there were gruesome just by looking.
That guy... it was Yan Yan who injured him?
Just as the old grandpa remains stuck in his stunned state, those followers of the middle-aged man have begun to move. Towards the dangers in front of herself, Bai Yan stands firm with her reddish blade in hand. She's not scared at being outnumbered. In fact, those eyes only had a chilling coldness to them.
"Yan'er...."
Seeing that rosy figure rushing right into danger, this poor grandfather felt immeasurable sadness and distress. He's angry at himself for being so useless and hateful at these enemies for putting the girl in danger. As a result, the injury he barely recovered from decides to have a relapse. Coughing hard, blood comes flying out of that throat and making a mess of things.
"Dragony, look after Grandfather for me, don't let him make any sudden movement." Furrowing his cute little brow, Bai Xiachen moves up a step to get a better position.
"But Prince, what are you planning to do?" Blinking her maiden eyes, the dragoness asks with curious light.
"Of course I'm going to get some help for my mother you silly." There's seriousness in the kid's face despite that adorably cuddlable appearance. Clearing his throat, a strange sonic wave came out of that mouth next.
Though the sound wasn't very loud at all, practically silent even to everyone except Dragony, but it carried an almost magical power. The reasoning being that those demon beasts currently hiding away inside this mountain, they're reacting to the soundwave. More precisely, they heard the summoning and was rushing over in haste!
While the kids were doing their own thing, Bai Yan's fight was now at a climax. She's slain many of these invaders already and left their bodies littered across the mountain.
Towards this picture, the coward Elder Lin who feared for his life before was growing more and more ugly with each passing second. He knows, if the lady could truly turn the tide by herself then the consequences of his own actions earlier would not go well for himself. It's making him very uncomfortable at the moment.
But......
Taking another look at the middle-aged man standing in the rear, Elder Lin's ugly expression slowly relaxes again.
If his subordinates are this powerful then this man himself must be even stronger. Yes, Bai Yan will definitely die when confronting that man!
"What's going on?"
Suddenly, an earthshaking tremor catches everyone's attention. Shifting their attention towards the general direction of where that sound came from, they could see the deserting disciples from earlier running back up to their spot with panic in their faces.
"What's going on?" Elder Lin asks with a grim expression.
"The monsters... there's a lot of demon beasts back there!" One of the disciples nearly burst into tears when answering: "We were running down the mountain when our group was overrun by a large stampede of demon beasts! Those monsters trampled some of us alive and only some of us made it back up here!"
