Chapter 485: Chapter 465: Are There Any Experts Left?
"Isn’t it that old ancestor of the Liang Family!"
Bai Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Originally, even if we couldn’t grab the Cyan Dragon Fruit this time, we could still get a guaranteed two or three hundred thousand points."
"However, that person suddenly appeared out of nowhere, directly changing the situation on the scene, ruining all my plans."
"That alone was bad enough."
"Who could have thought that after he left, he would return to question me personally? The condescending tone he used made me feel more and more infuriated on my way back!"
"What? The Liang Family Ancestor? You mean the Sword Saint of Liang Country?"
Bai Zhenyang was taken aback.
"That old monster who’s lived for hundreds of years would actually step in personally for a Cyan Dragon Fruit?"
"Impossible, right?"
"Who else could it be?"
Bai Xuan curled his lips.
"It’s really him."
Bai Zhenyang muttered.
No wonder Xuan’er is so angry this time. If I were in his place, I’d be just as frustrated.
After all, even if I were on the scene, I wouldn’t be able to fight someone of the Old Ancestor level.
"Xuan’er, tell me the whole story from the beginning."
Bai Xuan started recounting everything like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
When he mentioned the appearance of the Bai Family Ancestor, Bai Zhenyang kept nodding and muttered to himself: "It’s said that the Liang Family Ancestor’s Sword Dao has reached a refined level, only one step away from Man and Sword as One.
Forget the Elite-level Fierce Beasts, even Commander-level Fierce Beasts can’t get within ten steps of him before his True Essence is exhausted."
Bai Xuan continued his narration.
When he spoke of the Liang Family Ancestor’s Sword Qi being blocked by the Dragon Rhinoceros, Bai Zhenyang laughed out loud.
"That Liang Family Ancestor is overestimating himself. Even the most ordinary Beast King-level Fierce Beast can withstand a missile attack due to its strong body. How could he think a casual Sword Qi would kill it?"
But the next moment, his laughter stopped abruptly, and a look of awe appeared in his eyes.
"Ten Thousand Swords Attack? No wonder it’s a secret technique of Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect. It might even hurt a Beast Emperor-level Fierce Beast. It’s said that Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect has a final move called All Swords Return to One, which is even more terrifying."
"Dad."
Hearing this, Bai Xuan couldn’t help asking: "Is Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect really that strong?"
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect is the highest realm of Swordsmanship. Once unleashed, ten thousand swords obey like servants before their master; its power is indeed not to be underestimated."
"Then how do our Bai Family’s Ancestors compare to him?"
"Hmph."
A look of contempt flashed in Bai Zhenyang’s eyes as he said: "How can a mere Liang Family Ancestor compare to our Bai Family’s Ancestors? Why has our Bai Family maintained its place in Yan Country until now?
Look at the Liang Family, which is already a third-rate Noble Family. Once the Liang Family Ancestor’s lifespan ends, they might not even keep that third-rate status."
Hearing this, Bai Xuan’s eyes lit up.
"By the way, what happened afterward?"
Bai Zhenyang looked over, "Did that Cyan Dragon Fruit fall into the Liang Family Ancestor’s hands?"
After all, the Liang Family Ancestor’s strength was evident, and if it had been him on the scene, he’d have had no choice but to accept it too.
"That Cyan Dragon Fruit did not fall into the Liang Family Ancestor’s hands."
Bai Xuan shook his head.
"What?"
Bai Zhenyang was stunned and almost thought he had heard wrong.
"Could it be there was another Celestial Realm expert present at the time?"
"I’m not sure if that person was a Celestial Realm Martial Artist or not."
Bai Xuan scratched his head, "But that person’s strength was definitely formidable, especially their speed. Even the Liang Family Ancestor couldn’t catch up to them, let alone us."
"So?"
Bai Zhenyang’s mouth opened slightly.
"Hmm, the Cyan Dragon Fruit was snatched right before the Liang Family Ancestor’s eyes."
Bai Xuan felt a little pleased.
"This..."
Bai Zhenyang didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Based on Bai Xuan’s account, he deduced that the person who snatched the Cyan Dragon Fruit was definitely a Celestial Realm Martial Artist, perhaps only at the Early Stage of the Celestial Realm. In a direct confrontation, they were no match for the Liang Family Ancestor, so they resorted to sneak attacks.
Of course, the matter wasn’t so simple.
The Liang Family Ancestor had lived for hundreds of years and surely wasn’t completely off guard.
"That person had some extraordinary skills in hiding their presence, didn’t they?"
Bai Zhenyang thought to himself. The opponent must have suppressed their aura to the True Essence Realm, evading the Liang Family Ancestor’s perception.
When the Cyan Dragon Fruit ripened, they struck boldly.
Such courage and tactics were not common.
"Xuan’er, did that person leave any clues?" Bai Zhenyang asked curiously.
"There are."
Bai Xuan nodded.
"What clues?"
Bai Zhenyang’s spirit perked up.
In fact, when he asked that question, he didn’t have much hope. According to Bai Xuan, they hadn’t even seen what the other person looked like.
Bai Xuan licked his lips, and his eyes carried a look of expectation as he said, "Dad, that person also used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill."
After saying that, he stared intently at the other’s eyes.
He was indeed hoping inside, hoping that person was a member of their Bai Family.
After all, there weren’t many people in the world who had the complete Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.
If the person who took the Cyan Dragon Fruit was indeed from his Bai Family, then his Bai Family would be the ultimate winner.
"What!"
Bai Zhenyang’s mouth opened wide, eyes filled with disbelief.
"You said that person also used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill?"
"Yes."
Bai Xuan blinked, "Dad, was that person not sent by our Bai Family?"
Bai Zhenyang was stunned, then shook his head: "Of course not. Very few in our Bai Family knew about this. Besides, the only person sent was you."
"I see."
Bai Xuan smiled wryly; he seemed to have imagined too much.
"By the way, didn’t you say you couldn’t clearly see that person’s figure? How can you be sure they used the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill?" Bai Zhenyang asked.
"Don’t mention it, it just makes me want to kill the Liang Family Ancestor."
Bai Xuan got angry instantly and said:
"It was the Liang Family Ancestor who said that himself. After the person took the Cyan Dragon Fruit and ran, the Liang Family Ancestor chased after but didn’t catch up. When we were leaving, he came back, asking if there were any Bai Family members there. Then he found me and started threatening me, even attempted to kill me..."
Bai Xuan recounted the incident in detail, adding some embellishments,
He returned with the primary goal of having the family back him up to vent his anger.
Sure enough, after hearing the whole story, even Bai Zhenyang was furious, saying:
"Xuan’er, that old bastard didn’t harm you, did he?"
"No, but I felt he really had the intent to kill me. If there weren’t so many people present, who knows what he would have done," Bai Xuan whispered.
"The old thief went too far!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Zhenyang slammed his desk, and with a loud bang, the entire desk turned to dust.
"Dad, don’t be mad. I’m fine, it was just a false alarm."
Bai Xuan was overjoyed but said this modestly.
"Not be mad? How could I not be mad?"
Bai Zhenyang slowly stood up from his chair, looking through the floor-to-ceiling window towards the direction of the Liang Family, saying:
"Did that old thief think our Bai Family is easily bullied? With so many people watching, if our Bai Family swallows this anger, then other families would dare to follow suit, not putting our Bai Family in their eyes."
"Dad, what do you plan to do?"
"Hmm."
Bai Zhenyang nodded and said: "Later, I will inform some Ancestors in the family to show the Liang Family a lesson."
Bai Xuan was overjoyed and quickly expressed his gratitude.
Bai Zhenyang waved his hand and said: "Alright, Xuan’er, you don’t need to be so polite between us, father and son.
This time, it really isn’t your fault. The Liang Family Ancestor has lived for hundreds of years but shamelessly competes with you youngsters for an opportunity. Hmph, if this gets out, he won’t be afraid of being laughed at."
"Exactly, exactly."
Bai Xuan smiled and agreed: "The funniest part is, midway through, someone intercepted and got away with the cooked duck."
"Hmm."
Bai Zhenyang also smiled and nodded.
He could imagine the Liang Family Ancestor’s look at that time.
Even now, the other party must be furious, right?
"Later, I will report this to the family and also try to get a Cyan Dragon Fruit for you."
"Thank you, Dad!"
Bai Xuan’s smile was almost to the point of beaming.
The Bai Family indeed had a large estate, but there were many children in the family, so the competition was fierce.
"By the way, Dad, there’s one more thing."
Bai Xuan suddenly spoke as if he had remembered something.
"What’s the matter?"
"While we were waiting, we heard a werewolf’s scream."
Bai Xuan said with an odd expression.
"A werewolf’s scream?"
Bai Zhenyang frowned.
"Could it be someone from the Revival Association?"
"Probably."
Bai Xuan said: "The person who fought that werewolf should have been an awakener with Flame Superpower. That werewolf was burned alive."
"Hmm, I see. You go and rest."
Bai Xuan nodded, stood up, and walked out. After closing the study door, he smirked with satisfaction.
So what about the Liang Family Ancestor?
In this world, it’s not only your Liang Family that has Celestial Realm Martial Artists?
In the study, Bai Zhenyang showed a thoughtful expression.
Awakeners who could transform into werewolves were rare but not unheard of.
More likely, there were quite a few people from Feng Country with remnants of werewolf blood in their veins. The lower tier ones would only transform under the full moon, losing their sanity and attacking all living things nearby.
The higher tiers could control their transformation freely.
"I hope it’s someone from the Revival Association?"
He sneered: "If that’s the case, then this matter won’t end so easily. Over the years, those from the Awakened Association have become increasingly arrogant, forgetting who truly rules this land. Let them fight, the Revival Association, and the Awakened Association people. The fiercer their conflict, the better!"
As he said this, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
