Chapter 153 She's All Alone
The Bai Family, while not a major power in the Central Continent, was still considerable, possessing deep foundations, numerous strong cultivators, and complete inheritances.
Among the older generation, there were even a few at the Peak State of Divine Kings.
The current younger generation boasted seven geniuses in total. Bai Yunfei was one, with six others.
Not long ago, Guang Xiaoyu and Princess Zi Ji had slain four of them, leaving only two.
Because of this, the Bai Family was furious.
Several Fossil Level Elders revived one after another, preparing to set a deadly trap. They wanted to wash away the Bai Family's shame with blood and restore their illustrious name.
The grand gathering held by the Saint Heir and Saintess provided an excellent opportunity.
The Bai Family concluded that Guang Xiaoyu and Princess Zi Ji would definitely appear, and at that time… they could capture them all at once.
Yes! Chen Pingping also thought so.
Guang Xiaoyu and Zi Ji were supposedly heading to the Holy Land to participate in the grand gathering, while the Bai Family lay in wait, biding their time.
At this moment, the Bai Family's headquarters would surely be vulnerable.
"Has the news been spread?" Guang Xiaoyu asked.
"Yes, it has," Zi Ji replied seriously. "That we are going to the Holy Land to participate in the grand gathering."
HEHE!
Guang Xiaoyu grinned. "Those idiots from the Bai Family would never dream that we aren't going to the Holy Land at all."
Zi Ji looked at her, somewhat perplexed. "Senior Sister, does this mean we're going to make a move against the Bai Family now?"
Guang Xiaoyu nodded. "Exactly. This tactic is called 'feint to the east and attack in the west.' The Bai Family wants to lay a trap to kill us; conversely, we're also waiting for this opportunity."
The two young women were faster than Chen Pingping.
「The next day」, they arrived in the Bai Family's territory. Their clan's stronghold was nestled amidst lush green mountains, with buildings densely scattered throughout. From a distance, it resembled a beautiful scroll painting.
Upon entering the area, one could sense the spiritual energy fluctuations in the air, far richer than in the outside world.
The Bai Family!
The two stood atop a high mountain, a smirk playing on their lips, quietly observing the Bai Family's estate in the distance.
Guang Xiaoyu was brimming with confidence.
Zi Ji, however, was filled with worry. She glanced at her Senior Sister, then at Lao Huang. She knew he was extraordinary, but… she had never seen him in action.
Seeing her Senior Sister's confidence, Zi Ji's apprehension eased somewhat.
Their sect is truly bizarre, she thought. A powerful Senior Brother, an eccentric Senior Sister, and a group of formidable little creatures. At first glance, they seem like a motley crew, but in reality… each of them possesses incredible strength.
Zi Ji lowered her gaze. "Senior Sister, if we do this… won't Senior Brother be angry?"
Guang Xiaoyu had a carefree and decisive personality. She did whatever she pleased without hesitation or overthinking.
But she had one fatal weakness: she seemed to always listen to Chen Pingping.
As expected…
At these words, Guang Xiaoyu's expression immediately darkened. "It'll be fine if you just don't tell him, right?" she retorted.
But even if I don't tell Chen Pingping, he'll definitely find out anyway! Zi Ji felt aggrieved.
"We can't worry about that now! This is a great opportunity to wipe out the Bai Family in one fell swoop and make a name for ourselves in the Central Continent!" Guang Xiaoyu grinned, her expression turning cold. "When I make my move later, don't act rashly. Stick with Lao Huang."
HUH?
Zi Ji was startled. Wasn't Lao Huang supposed to be our trump card? Senior Sister isn't taking Lao Huang with her? Will this even work?
Before she could snap out of her daze, Guang Xiaoyu, holding Hei, had already dashed down the mountain.
A path led to what served as the main entrance, marked by an archway inscribed with the words "Bai Family."
Guarding this place were two middle-aged men, both formidable cultivators in the King Tao Realm. They were stunned to see Guang Xiaoyu charging toward them. Snapping back to their senses, one exclaimed, "It's… it's her!"
Although they had never seen Guang Xiaoyu in person, her portrait had long been circulated within the Bai Family. Seeing her appear here now sent a jolt through them, and they found themselves stumbling over their words.
How could she be here? Why is she here? This is the Bai Family's domain!
"We must be mistaken! Yes, our eyes are playing tricks on us!"
"No, it's not a mistake! It's her, Guang Xiaoyu! Damn it… what is she planning to do?"
The clan's experts had all mobilized, setting up a deadly ambush at the Holy Land, just waiting for Guang Xiaoyu to appear.
They had never imagined she would show up here.
The two guards exchanged a look. In the span of a few breaths, numerous possibilities flashed through their minds, finally settling on one: she was here to attack the Bai Family.
"Stay calm! She's alone," one of them said, trying to reassure himself.
"Yes, that's what our Bai Family experts thought when they encountered her before…" the other muttered.
It had happened several times. They had pursued Guang Xiaoyu more than once, ever since Luo God Mountain. Yet, to this day, Guang Xiaoyu was still alive and well, while all the clan members who had hunted her were dead.
She's alone. The words sounded increasingly ironic.
The two Bai Family cultivators panicked and hurriedly turned. "Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"
"Who's there? What's all the shouting about so early in the morning?" From a mountain hollow, a young man who had been cultivating and enjoying the sunlight cursed irritably and walked over.
Then… he saw a figure rushing toward them. Hmm, she looked familiar, as if he'd seen her somewhere before. This person… her… Guang Xiaoyu?
The young man's expression changed drastically. "This is bad! She's here!"
Many others were startled awake by the commotion.
Like him, they emerged cursing, only to be instantly jolted alert upon seeing Guang Xiaoyu.
"Bai Family! This young lady has arrived!" Guang Xiaoyu scoffed. "From this day forward, there will be no Bai Family in the Central Continent!"
She had already reached the late stage of the King Tao Realm, standing at the Eighth Heaven.
Coupled with the Tao she cultivated and the profundity of her cultivation base, once she unleashed her power, even a First Heaven Divine King would find it difficult to contend with her here.
This eruption of power was particularly immense.
Sword Dao, Fist Technique…
UGH! No Fist Technique, just a symbolic gesture of a fist.
The One Qi Turns into Three Clarities technique activated, and three Guang Xiaoyus charged in different directions. They left trails of corpses in their wake, quickly creating rivers of blood.
She showed no mercy.
"Damn it! Didn't the Elders go out to set up a deadly ambush? Why is she here?"
"Attack together! Don't let her escape!"
"Where are the Elders?"
"They've gone out."
"What about the Steward?"
"…"
The Bai Family's interior was exceptionally vulnerable.
Furthermore, Guang Xiaoyu's sudden assault caught the Bai Family completely off guard. They died horrifically in the ensuing chaos, figures falling one after another into pools of their own blood.
From a distance, the scene resembled a vision of hell on earth.
Not only that, but Guang Xiaoyu seemed to grow increasingly excited. Her eyes gleamed, and she licked her lips, looking utterly ravenous.
KILL! KILL!
There was nothing more to be said.
The Bai Family had repeatedly targeted her. If her strength had been sufficient earlier, she would have already destroyed their clan. The only reason the Bai Family had survived until now was because her own power had been lacking.
"How dare you!" A thunderous voice, filled with rage, emanated from the depths of the estate.
A white-haired old man approached. He was tall and imposing, with a ruddy complexion and profound eyes. With a single thought from him, it was as if rivers flowed backward and the sun and moon collapsed, as if an entire world was being destroyed.
This was a secret technique.
As his palm and fingers descended, the battlefield was instantly frozen. Guang Xiaoyu herself was pinned down, unable to move.
