Chapter 208: He's always been this brave?

Outside Yun City, Ye Zhangqing headed all the way toward the city, with Dàhuáng closely following at his side, his gaze toward Xiao Bai filled with anger and wariness.

Stupid bird, if you move it again, I'll definitely stew you.

He shot Xiao Bai an annoyed glance, gritted his teeth and said, this Xiao Bai doesn't know what's happening; suddenly it changed, as if after coming back from Blacksmith Valley it turned completely into a pile driver.

He really needs to find a time to ask Senior Chen Mu what Xiao Bai actually went through in Blacksmith Valley.

What a pure crane it used to be; damn, its head is now full of filthy things.

Ye Zhangqing naturally didn't know that Xiao Bai had completely opened the door to a new world in Blacksmith Valley, after which things spiraled out of control.

Upon hearing that, Bai Hua Xianzi laughed.

I can take care of it for you.

He shrank his neck, then looked at Dàhuáng with a wronged expression, letting out two weak cries.

Ge ge.

Hearing the sound, Dàhuáng's eyes were full of contempt.

Don't say that; between us it's impossible.

Ge ge, ge ge............

What compromise? You're a crane, I'm a dog; our species are different, okay?

It's obvious these two are communicating; Ye Zhangqing can guess Xiao Bai's meaning—probably it's pursuing Dàhuáng, but sadly Dàhuáng feels nothing for it.

He couldn't be bothered with those two, but as they talked, the atmosphere gradually turned weird.

Ge ge, ge ge, ge ge............

Perhaps because it was rejected, Xiao Bai became somewhat agitated, repeatedly letting out mournful cries with a sorrowful face, as if desperately trying to express something; facing Xiao Bai's entanglement, Dàhuáng directly shouted angrily.

Damn it, I said we're impossible; what fate could there be between a crane and a dog?

Having said that, he left without looking back, leaving only Xiao Bai silently shedding tears.

He really looked heartbroken; anyway, Ye Zhangqing had never seen Xiao Bai like this before.

Ge ge........... ge...............

He let out two weak cries, but Dàhuáng had no intention of paying any attention.

Seeing this, Ye Zhangqing also felt numb; what the hell is this?

Hong Zun is surrounded.

He had originally wanted to comfort Xiao Bai with a couple of words, seeing it look like a lovelorn dog rejected by a goddess, but just as he was about to speak, Bai Hua Xianzi spoke up.

She had naturally been using Divine Sense to scan Yun City all along; hearing that, Ye Zhangqing worriedly said.

Nothing will happen, right?

It's fine; those demonic cultivators are doomed.

Bai Hua Xianzi laughed, not at all worried about Hong Zun.

Indeed they are doomed; in Yun City, at the Ye family manor, more and more demonic cultivators are arriving, and Hong Zun's fate seems already decided—to be granted to the He family patriarch.

If that's the case, then this old man is yours.

Thank you, sir.

The demonic cultivators chatted among themselves until more than ten strong demonic cultivators arrived in the hall; leading them, a Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator embraced He Jilan and entered the courtyard, laughing.

Has the He family patriarch earned another merit today?

This is all that a petty person ought to do.

Sir, you had better reward my father well.

Haha, sure, sure; first let me see which clueless old thing this is.

Laughing, he turned his gaze toward Hong Zun, but with just a glance, that Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator froze in place.

Others didn't know Hong Zun's identity, but he did; his whole person instantly froze.

However, the others beside him didn't notice at all, and the He family patriarch still said with a cold smile.

Old man, do you know what this is? This is 'there's a path to heaven but you won't take it, no gate to hell yet you barge in.'

Looks like everyone's here now.

Just hearing that, Hong Zun paid no heed, calmly sweeping his gaze over the assembled demonic cultivators.

The demonic cultivators inside the Ye family manor had all gathered here by now; good, no need to waste effort searching for them.

But regarding this, the He family patriarch shouted angrily.

Old thing, you truly don't know life or death; rest assured, sir, my divine skill is perfected—I'll take him down.

Volunteering to take the lead, the He family patriarch who had mastered Blood Hand, how could he endure this indignity?

He immediately rushed forward, but that Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator opened his mouth as if to say something, yet ultimately uttered not a word; meanwhile, He Jilan beside him laughed.

Rest assured, sir, my father's divine skill is now perfected; he can certainly take down this old thing.

Hearing that, the Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator gave He Jilan a strange look, scoffing, 'Taking down someone—do you think this old man is who you think he is?'

Not to mention them, even if the few Elders of the Blood Sect were here, it's not certain who would take down whom.

But saying anything now is pointless; that Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator is already preparing to flee, and as for the He father and daughter, those two idiots are doomed.

Old thing, behold my Blood Hand divine skill!

The He family patriarch shouted as he rushed toward Hong Zun, yet from start to finish he never saw Hong Zun make a move, but inexplicably a blood hole appeared on the He family patriarch's forehead, and he collapsed straight down.

Watching his father die, He Jilan and all the He family members were shocked and angry, then they shouted angrily.

Bold.

Courting death.

Sir, quickly strike and kill this villain.

He Jilan begged that Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator to act, while Hong Zun speechlessly glanced at the He family patriarch's corpse, then turned his head to look at the leading Nascent Soul Realm demonic cultivator and said.

"He's always been this brave?"

"This Nascent Soul Realm Demonic Cultivator didn't answer; only He Jinlan beside him spoke angrily."

"Sir killed him, this scoundrel is simply outrageous to the extreme."

"It's just that the He Clan Head is brave, but he is absolutely not brave; therefore, upon He Jinlan's words, the Nascent Soul Realm Demonic Cultivator immediately unleashed a hidden weapon to seize a chance to escape."

"Only seeing him grab He Jinlan's body, then violently fling her, sending He Jinlan flying toward Hong Zun, while he himself turned and fled."

"Look at the hidden weapon."

"The sudden move left the surrounding Demonic Cultivators dumbfounded. 'Hey, how did the Sir just run away? And there's this hidden weapon...'"

"Ah............"

"He Jinlan screamed as she fell into Hong Zun's hand, completely powerless."

"Finally someone with a brain has come, but it's useless."

"A flick of the finger, a sword light flashed, striking the fleeing Nascent Soul Realm Demonic Cultivator, who instantly turned into a mist of blood in midair."

"Watching their leader being blasted to death by Hong Zun's finger, the Demonic Cultivators present finally reacted."

"Turns out it wasn't that the old man was surrounded by them, but that they were surrounded by the old man."

"In a moment, the numerous Demonic Cultivators scattered and fled, but sword qi instantly enveloped them."

"Before Hong Zun, these Demonic Cultivators had absolutely no power to resist, of course including the He family members."

"One Demonic Cultivator after another was slain, the He family members were utterly dumbfounded, with many directly kneeling to beg for mercy."

"Sir, spare our lives, sir, spare our lives; we were forced to join these Demonic Cultivators."

"Yeah, we were also forced."

"Sir, the second young lady of my He family, He Lu, is an Inner Disciple of the Luo Xia Sect; my He family is absolutely not Demonic Cultivators, nor a demonic path."
