As soon as Bai Xiaochun heard the message, his eyes turned even more bloodshot than before. If Zhou Yixing had merely been involved in a deadly fight, it would have been more eptable, but to hear that someone was trying to steal his souls was a different matter....
Right now, Bai Xiaochun wanted souls more than just about everything else. And considering that none of the shops in the city had any souls to spare, Zhou Yixing was hisst hope.
“I only need to practice five more times and I’ll be able to conjure fourteen-colored me. As of this moment, anyone who tries to steal souls from me is my enemy!” Enraged, and having no time to argue with the two crown princes, he rushed out and headed in the direction of the teleportation portal.
As soon as he was out in the open, he flew up into the air and hung his Devil Penitentiarymand medallion around his neck. Although flying was prohibited in the city, when the patrolling city guards saw his medallion and realized who he was, they simply pretended not to notice him.
He was already rtively close to the teleportation portal, so coupled with the fact that he was flying, it only took him a few breaths of time to reach his destination.
As he rumbled through the air in a beam of light, he attracted quite a bit of attention. Even before hended, he could see Zhou Yixing to the east of the teleportation portal, a look of desperation on his face as he struggled with a group of a dozen or so cultivators. One of the cultivators in that group... was the very same chief of the Bai n whom Bai Xiaochun had captured when fleeing the n!
Madam Cai was also there, apanied by a contingent of followers, most of whom were members of the Bai n. There were two other soul cultivators present who, based on their clothing, were obviously from two of the other great ns.
As Bai Xiaochun closed in, the n chief thrust his hand out, causing a ck wind to swirl around Zhou Yixing, locking him in ce and making it impossible for him to flee.
Seeing Zhou Yixing in such danger, Bai Xiaochun roared, “How dare you, Bai n lowlife!!”
As his voice echoed out like heavenly thunder, the group from the Bai n turned to see who was approaching. When Madam Cai recognized who it was, she shrieked, “Bai Hao!”
Bai Hao’s father, the n chief, looked up and began to tremble. As thoughts shed through his mind regarding how he had been kidnapped, he gritted his teeth and growled, “Bai Hao!!”
The other members of the Bai n were all shocked, and were immediately reminded of all the humiliation which had been heaped onto their heads because of Bai Hao.
“It’s Bai Hao!!”
“The patriarch wasn’t able to kill him back then, and he ended up getting taken away by the Giant Ghost King....”
Zhou Yixing was on the verge of tears, his heart gripped by a sensation of imminent crisis. “Help me, milord....”
The n chief’s eyes burned with rage; ater investigation regarding the murdersoul spikes had led him to Zhou Yixing, and he quickly realized that he was working with Bai Xiaochun. Therefore, afterying eyes on him during this visit to the city, he had immediately attempted to kidnap him.
However, now that Bai Xiaochun had appeared, the n chief changed his n. Instead of trying to kidnap Zhou Yixing, he would try to kill him! Snorting coldly, he reached out and made a grasping motion in Zhou Yixing’s direction, causing the ck wind to transform into a wind de.
“We might not be able to touch you because of your status in Giant Ghost City,” he growled, “but that doesn’t mean I can’t kill your follower!!”
Hope had just appeared in front of Zhou Yixing, only to be reced by the ck wind de, which now shed down toward him, filling his heart with despair. Although all of these things take some time to describe, they happened in the time it takes a spark to fly off of a piece of flint. Seeing what was happening, Bai Xiaochun’s eyes narrowed, and he burst forward with greater speed than ever!
He wasn’t using the Mountain Shaking Bash, he was using... the Undying Hex!!
Anyone observing him would see him be a blur, while to him, his surroundings suddenly slowed down. Then he vanished. Meanwhile, the wind de was shing down toward Zhou Yixing, and he was wailing miserably. But then a screaming sound could be heard as Bai Xiaochun suddenly appeared right in front of Zhou Yixing.
There, he reached out and smacked the wind de.
BOOOOOOOOOMMM!
The wind de shattered into countless pieces which spun out in all directions. At the same time, the Bai n cultivators all stepped back.
Pupils constricting, the n chief took a step forward, performing an incantation gesture with his right hand as he said, “Feeling suicidal, Bai Hao?!”
Instantly, the wails of ghosts and wolves could be heard as he used his distinctive Bai n secret magic, causing his divine sense to transform into countless shadow ghosts that pounced toward Bai Xiaochun.
“I beat you once before, are you really crazy enough to try again?!” Bai Xiaochun shot backward, mming into the shocked Zhou Yixing to send him tumbling away.
Then, Bai Xiaochun red at the n chief as several afterimages appeared, which were none other than his four clones. Even as they appeared out in the open, they simultaneously unleashed a fist strike onto the n chief!
A huge boom rolled out to fill nearly half of Giant Ghost City. Instantly, numerous beams of light began to shoot in their direction.
“Magicalbat is prohibited in Giant Ghost City. Stay your hands immediately!”
“Stop right there!” Voices rang out from the huge giant ghost statue in the middle of the city, as well as streams of shocking divine sense.
Simultaneously, Bai Xiaochun and his clones mmed into the n chief, after which all of them staggered backward. As for the n chief, blood was oozing out of his mouth, and he was panting as he red angrily at Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun was also backing up, but wasn’t hurt. It was even as he pondered the advantages and disadvantages of fighting the Bai n inside of Giant Ghost City that the voices and divine sense of the city guards appeared, much to his relief.
Without any hesitation, Bai Xiaochun shouted, “How dare you ambush someone from Devil Penitentiary, old man Bai! This is Giant Ghost City, not your Bai n! Brothers from the city guard, I’m Bai Hao from Devil Penitentiary. These people are viting localw. Not only are they ganging up on me, they’re intentionally disrespecting Giant Ghost City!” With that, he grabbed Zhou Yixing and prepared to leave.
Seeing that Bai Xiaochun was getting away, Madam Caipletely ignored the city guards and shrieked, “Bai n cultivators, kill him immediately!!”
The venom in Madam Cai’s eyes couldn’t have been more evident. Her hatred for Bai Xiaochun had reached unimaginable heights. However, the other members of the Bai n hesitated, fully conscious of the razor-sharp gazes of the city guards.
Seeing that the Bai n cultivators weren’t giving chase, Madam Cai screamed, “Get moving, all of you! Kill him!!”
Then she turned to the nearby Cai n cultivator, and was about to say something, when the Bai n chief growled, “Shut up!”
It was a mere growl, but it echoed like thunder, causing Madam Cai to shake visibly as she turned to stare at her husband.
Expression very grim, he said, “Giant Ghost King bequeathed that scum with a title. If the deva patriarch had to give him up, then what do you think we can do? Besides, killing is prohibited within the city limits....”
Madam Cai didn’t seem inclined to agree, but had no choice. However, the rage in her heart was so intense that she was shaking violently.
As for the city guards, when they saw that the Bai n was standing down, and that Bai Xiaochun was already leaving, they looked around vigntly for a bit, then left.
Before long, the street had calmed down. The Bai n cultivators exchanged awkward nces, and Madam Cai was gnashing her teeth.
ncing grimly at the fleeing Bai Xiaochun, the n chief turned to Madam Cai and quietly said, “Just wait a bit longer. Once the heavens change, we’ll have our chance.”
Madam Cai was taken aback, but quickly realized what the n chief was talking about....
