Chapter 404: The Truth Behind the Guess

"My Lord, you have come out!"

Seeing Shen Yu walk out of the cave, Bai Jincong, who had been waiting outside the whole time, hurriedly went up to greet him.

To tell the truth, he had been quite conflicted while waiting outside just now; he both hoped Shen Yu would simply die inside and never come out.

If that happened, as long as Shen Yu died, the Baicao Sect would continue to dominate Chengzhou, unrivaled by anyone.

Yet he was also afraid that if Shen Yu didn't come out, he didn't know how many more people his father would kill. The situation would escalate further and further, and eventually, it would be impossible to contain.

By then, the Baicao Sect would become the target of the entire Jianghu. Could their Baicao Sect, by their own strength alone, really be stronger than the entire Jianghu?

When that time came, he feared their Baicao Sect would be besieged by the world, and the situation would be even worse than it was now.

When he saw Shen Yu walk out from inside, Bai Jincong sighed silently. There was no need for him to suffer anymore; it seemed their Baicao Sect was doomed this time.

"Let's go. I think I know now—I'm afraid your father's body has truly been occupied by someone!"

"I knew my father shouldn't be like this!" Having received confirmation, Bai Jincong was, at this moment, somewhat at a loss.

Knowing the result was one thing, but how to resolve it was another, not to mention needing to get the person occupying his father's body out without harming his father.

"Then, My Lord, what should we do now?"

"Simple. Just pull the person occupying him out. Let's go, I'll take you back!"

He took Bai Jincong and left, heading straight back to the wedding venue. At this time, people were still mingling there, and Bai Tu had not yet made a move against these experts.

Shen Yu brought Bai Jincong and appeared swaggeringly, but the Mountain and River Map in his hand had already shrouded the place. Everything went smoothly, and Bai Tu had not noticed anything unusual.

Once inside the Mountain and River Map, let alone someone who hadn't recovered their strength, even if they had fully recovered their power, what could they do? With the Eight-Cornered Prison-Suppressing Tower there, this was the strongest prison in the world.

When the Mountain and River Map fully expanded and shrouded everything within, it meant that everything had been settled.

"Jincong, didn't you go to the bridal chamber? Why have you appeared here? And who is this beside you?"

When they saw Shen Yu appear with Bai Jincong, everyone was stunned, and Bai Tu, who was at the head, was even more puzzled.

You aren't staying in the room to serve your wife on your wedding night, so what is the meaning of walking out with a strange man?

It couldn't be that the legendary eldest daughter of the Ning Family looked like this; that would be going too far. He could still tell the difference between a man and a woman!

"My Lord?" He turned his head to glance at Shen Yu, his eyes full of confusion. Big Brother, is it really appropriate for us to just walk out so swaggeringly?

Shouldn't we be launching a sneak attack, acting in secret, and catching them off guard? That would be the way to get twice the result with half the effort.

Walking out so carelessly like this—what if the opponent runs away, or what if they act like a cornered dog and start a massacre?

Even if one is bold because of their skill, there's no need to do something so brainless.

However, after seeing Shen Yu's affirmative gaze, Bai Jincong finally relaxed a little. For some reason, when he met Shen Yu's eyes, it immediately gave him great confidence.

Perhaps to Lord Shen, his father was just a clown, not even worthy of being treated with caution.

"Father!" He bowed slightly to Bai Tu, who was sitting in the high seat, and then Bai Jincong introduced, "This is Lord Shen Yu!"

"Who did you say? Shen Yu?"

"Shen Yu!" Upon hearing this name, the high-level figures of Chengzhou all widened their eyes, and in an instant, they were whispering to each other.

In their eyes, expressions of suspicious excitement erupted one after another, and they then turned to look at their own noses and hearts, acting as if it had nothing to do with them and they were just watching a good show.

They knew very well what had happened in Chengzhou recently; it seemed the matter of the Baicao Sect had been exposed.

With Shen Yu, a man who hated evil as if it were a personal enemy, arriving here, the Baicao Sect wanting to walk out unscathed? Keep dreaming!

Thinking of how they had been ridden over by the Baicao Sect for some time, everyone felt unhappy in their hearts. Now it was good—it wasn't that retribution wouldn't come, it was just not yet time!

"Unfilial son, you actually brought him here!" Upon hearing that the person standing before him was Shen Yu, Bai Tu instantly flew into a rage, and a tyrannical, bloody aura emerged.

Looking at that posture, it seemed he even wanted to test his strength against Shen Yu. That aura was extremely terrifying, far exceeding all the experts present, causing their expressions to change drastically.

They also knew Bai Tu was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this strong; his aura alone made them almost unable to hold on.

The group couldn't help but worry secretly: Bai Tu was so strong, could Shen Yu really defeat him? After all, they had only heard of this Lord Shen from Jianghu rumors.

As for the reliability of Jianghu rumors, those who know, know; perhaps he really had the ability, or perhaps it was all just hype.

However, just as Bai Tu's aura was about to approach Shen Yu, the aura on the opposite side also rose, and an equally terrifying feeling appeared in everyone's hearts.

Careless! Why did it feel like they couldn't afford to offend either side? When gods fight, mortals suffer; they were caught in the middle and would be affected.

But what no one expected was that when the two sides' auras clashed, they had thought it would be a battle where winds and clouds gathered and the fighting would be inseparable.

They didn't expect Bai Tu to be so fragile. They had already prepared themselves to endure a violent storm, and everyone was guarding themselves cautiously.

Who would have thought that Bai Tu's seemingly terrifying aura would be shattered into pieces in an instant, and he himself was pressed by this momentum until his whole body trembled, unable to even move.

At this moment, everyone widened their eyes. This was clearly a suppression; the two sides were not on the same level at all.

Bai Tu, who was invincible in Chengzhou in their hearts, had lost before the fight even started? Just how terrifying must this Shen Yu be?

Slowly drawing a sword, a terrifying Sword Intent that seemed to pierce the firmament appeared, and such Sword Qi was brilliant and sharp, as if the sun, moon, and stars all became dim and lusterless under this Sword Intent.

Walking toward Bai Tu step by step, the naked killing intent on Shen Yu was not concealed in the slightest.

Looking at the figure constantly approaching, the sense of crisis in Bai Tu's heart almost drowned him, and every cell in his body seemed to be warning him to run away quickly.

In this situation, he himself knew very well that once this sword fell, there would only be one outcome waiting for him.

Bowing his head, Bai Tu seemed to have given up resistance. But the next moment, when Bai Tu raised his head, his aura had changed completely. His eyes were blood-red, as if they had been completely soaked in blood.

"Not pretending anymore?" As if he had long expected the opponent to have such a change, a faint smile appeared on Shen Yu's face. I'm not afraid of you coming out; I'm only afraid you won't.

"You really are in his body! If you had kept holding back and not moved, I might have had a headache, but you exposed yourself the moment you made a move."

"I'll kill you!" Facing Shen Yu's aura suppression, Bai Tu actually stood up gradually, and the tyrannical aura on his body was crazily burning the power within him.

So many fruits absorbed from experts were swallowed by him, and the strength gathered over such a long time, as well as the power that had not been fully digested, were all burned away at this moment.

"A deathbed struggle!" Ignoring the crazed Bai Tu, Shen Yu knew very well that he was burning his own life force now.

It was just like a match; when it was first lit, the flame looked vigorous, but in reality, it wouldn't be long before it was burned to ashes.

In this situation, there was no need to care; just watch until he finished burning.

On the other hand, an extremely hidden Mental Power escaped along the ground, and was directly imprisoned by him using the power of the Mountain and River Map.

"Cutting off the tail to survive, truly decisive, but where are you fleeing to?"

By using Bai Tu, whose power seemed to surge instantly, to draw their attention, the remnant soul itself took the opportunity to escape.

That plan was calculated quite well, but they failed to see who they were facing, and they failed to see where this was.
