Before the white-robed man stood a woman!
It was the purple-robed woman!
She lifted her teacup, took a sip, and smiled, “Brother Baisheng, don’t underestimate this man! Especially the one beside him, at least a God Transformation Fifth Stage or higher!”
The man named Baisheng glanced at Zhang Shi and smiled, “Indeed, impressive.”
He turned to the purple-robed woman, “Zhantai Jing, do you have a grudge with him?”
Zhantai Jing, the purple-robed woman, smiled faintly, “Something like that!”
Baisheng was about to speak when his brow furrowed. He turned to see a young man slowly ascending the stairs, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
It was Ye Xuan and Zhang Shi!
Seeing them, Baisheng’s brow creased slightly.
Suddenly, an old man with a cane appeared beside Baisheng, his gaze locking onto Zhang Shi, eyes full of wariness!
Ye Xuan calmly approached Baisheng. The cane-wielding old man stepped forward to block him, but Zhang Shi abruptly pressed down with his right hand.
*Boom!*
Before everyone’s eyes, the old man collapsed to his knees, powerless to resist!
Baisheng’s pupils constricted!
The old man was a peak God Transformation Fourth Stage, yet he couldn’t resist this middle-aged man at all!
In the distance, Zhantai Jing’s expression turned grave.
She’d underestimated him!
Zhang Shi might be above God Transformation Sixth Stage!
Ye Xuan sat beside Baisheng and smiled, “I was curious. It’s my first time in Luo City, and I have no enemies here. Why would someone target me?”
He looked at Zhantai Jing and grinned, “Seeing you, I understand.”
Zhantai Jing stared at him, silent.
Ye Xuan continued, “I can’t comprehend it. Our encounter was over something trivial. Why turn a tiny matter into bad blood?”
The black-robed old man beside Zhantai Jing opened his mouth to speak, but Zhang Shi clenched his right hand.
*Boom!*
The old man’s body shattered, his soul gripped by an invisible hand, unable to make a sound!
Zhang Shi glanced coldly at him, “The Young Master didn’t ask you. Shut up, got it?”
The old man stared at Zhang Shi in terror, eyes full of disbelief.
He’d prepared to fight back, but when Zhang Shi struck, he was utterly powerless.
Seeing the old man’s body destroyed, Zhantai Jing’s face darkened. She was about to speak when Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile, “Miss, I didn’t want trouble. Less is more. But that’s just my wishful thinking! Since you’re so keen on causing me grief, have it your way.”
As his words fell, before Zhantai Jing could react, a streak of sword light pierced her brow, pinning her to a pillar!
She roared, “I’m from the Zhantai Clan!”
Ye Xuan looked at her, smiling, “Know why I didn’t kill you? So you can call for help! Go on, call the strongest from your Zhantai Clan!”
Her heart jolted. Why was this man so confident?
Why?
Zhantai Jing began to panic.
Baisheng’s face grew solemn. He looked at Ye Xuan, “Sir…”
Zhang Shi suddenly slapped out.
*Boom!*
Before everyone’s eyes, Baisheng’s body disintegrated into ash, yet the tavern remained untouched!
Baisheng was dumbfounded!
Zhang Shi glanced coldly at his soul, “Did the Young Master let you speak?”
Baisheng: “…”
Ye Xuan turned to Zhantai Jing, still pinned, “Where are your people?”
She stared at him, silent.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura surged from the side. A moment later, an old man with a long spear appeared in the tavern.
He looked at Ye Xuan, “I am Zhantai—”
Before he could finish, Zhang Shi punched out!
*Boom!*
The old man vanished on the spot!
Completely erased!
Zhantai Jing’s pupils shrank to pinpoints.
Baisheng’s face filled with horror.
How strong was this Zhang Shi?
Was he really just half-step God Transformation?
At that moment, a middle-aged man appeared. He glanced at Baisheng, then at Zhang Shi, “And you are?”
Zhang Shi said expressionlessly, “Speak to my Young Master!”
The man’s gaze fell on Ye Xuan. He hesitated, then said, “I am Bai Zhan, Great Elder of the Bai Clan. How may I address you?”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ye Xuan!”
Bai Zhan frowned. He hadn’t heard the name.
Snapping out of it, he said gravely, “How has my Bai Clan offended you?”
Ye Xuan pointed at Baisheng, “Ask him!”
He turned to Zhang Shi, “If he lies even a bit, send him to the afterlife!”
Zhang Shi bowed slightly, “As you command!”
Baisheng: “…”
Bai Zhan glanced at Zhang Shi, then at Baisheng, “Speak!”
Baisheng didn’t dare hide anything and recounted everything.
Hearing him, Bai Zhan shot a cold glance at Zhantai Jing. He knew Baisheng had been played by her!
*Sigh!*
Bai Zhan shook his head. What a fool!
He turned to Ye Xuan and clasped his fists, “Young Master, this is our Bai Clan’s fault. Please show mercy!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You don’t seem very sincere!”
Bai Zhan blinked, “What sincerity do you require?”
Ye Xuan glanced at Baisheng, “This guy’s so useless, he can’t hold much weight in your clan, right?”
Bai Zhan quickly nodded, about to speak, when Baisheng snarled, “My father is the Bai Clan patriarch! I’m the clan’s heir!”
Hearing this, Bai Zhan nearly choked, furious.
Idiot!
Ye Xuan’s lips curled, “Since he’s the heir, his life’s worth something! Ten billion!”
He smiled, “Ten billion cosmic veins for your heir’s life. Not too much, right?”
Bai Zhan looked at Ye Xuan, his expression calming, “Ten billion?”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Too much?”
Bai Zhan paused, then said, “Young Master, that’s a bit exorbitant!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “You can refuse!”
Bai Zhan’s eyes narrowed, “Young Master, leave some room for future dealings, you—”
Zhang Shi punched out!
Bai Zhan’s eyes narrowed, raising his arms to block. The next moment, he vanished!
Completely erased!
Not a sound!
The crowd in the tavern paled in shock!
This was terrifying!
Killing instantly wasn’t the issue—it was how effortlessly it was done, without a trace!
Utterly absurd!
Baisheng and the others were truly terrified!
They knew they’d provoked someone untouchable!
Ye Xuan turned to Zhantai Jing, “Who are you? Who the hell are you!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Miss, you can call for help now!”
Zhantai Jing’s face darkened.
Call for help?
She was completely panicked!
Suddenly, footsteps approached. A middle-aged man ascended.
Seeing him, Zhantai Jing cried out in joy, “Father!”
It was Zhantai Yuan, patriarch of the Zhantai Clan!
He ignored her, walking straight to Ye Xuan. His gaze settled on him, “Before coming, I investigated. There’s no powerful Ye Clan in Luo Realm. You must be an outsider!”
Ye Xuan nodded, “Indeed!”
Zhantai Yuan smiled, “Young Master, this was a small matter. Can you let it go?”
Ye Xuan pointed at Zhantai Jing, “I gave her a chance, but she didn’t take it! Then she came here to trouble me again! Is that appropriate?”
Zhantai Yuan shook his head, “It’s not!”
Ye Xuan smiled, “Ten billion. Give me ten billion, and I’ll let her go!”
Zhantai Yuan shook his head, “Kill her!”
Ye Xuan froze.
Zhantai Yuan smiled, “She’s not worth ten billion cosmic veins!”
Zhantai Jing’s face turned ashen.
Ye Xuan said gravely, “She’s your daughter!”
Zhantai Yuan chuckled, “Daughters can be replaced! But ten billion cosmic veins would bankrupt the Zhantai Clan! Sacrificing the clan for one person isn’t worth it!”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Suddenly, Zhantai Yuan waved his right hand.
*Boom!*
Zhantai jing was struck by a force and completely erased.
Dead!
Ye Xuan was stunned.
Just like that?
Her own father?
Bloody hell!
Ye Xuan was floored!
Not just him—Zhang Shi was surprised too. He glanced at Zhantai Yuan, saying nothing.
Baisheng stared at Zhantai Yuan in disbelief, feeling more sorrow than shock. Compared to the clan, an individual was nothing.
Zhantai Yuan stood, bowed slightly, “Young Master, the culprit is dead! The grudge between you and the Zhantai Clan is settled. Take care!”
He turned and left.
Ye Xuan sat in silence, then murmured, “My dad’s actually not bad!”
Qingshan Man: “…”
Suddenly, a terrifying aura surged from the distant sky.
Baisheng, excited, shouted, “Luo City’s powerhouses! Luo City’s powerhouses!”
Clearly, Luo City had learned of the fight!
Baisheng glared at Ye Xuan, snarling, “Know the Yang Clan? Killing on their turf is like spitting in their face!”
Ye Xuan lifted his teacup, took a sip, and murmured, “Yang Clan?”
He shook his head with a smile, “A snap of my fingers could wipe them out!”
Baisheng: “…”
Zhang Shi wiped his brow. That boast…
