Chapter 936: What Gives You The Confidence? Ancient Sparrow City's Move
~~~
Back at Ancient Sparrow's City Hall, the Ancient Sparrow City Lord had a gloomy look on his face. Beneath him were the generals who had just come back from Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm.
He had gotten the news about the Young Lord's death.
"Bai clan! You asked for this!"
The look on the City Lord's face was as gloomy as the rainy day.
The moment he bolted up, his Pseudo Immortal aura erupted and enveloped the place. "Prepare the troops. I will bring the fight to Bai clan myself!"
Upon hearing his orders, the generals beneath him answered in unison, "Yes, sir!"
All ofa sudden, a ray of white light flew over.
'The white light was a paper crane.
Ancient Sparrow City Lord furrowed his brows at the paper crane. "This paper crane… It's the Bai clan's communication technique. What else do they have to say now?"
He unfolded the paper crane, and several lines of words appeared before his eyes.
"Oh? The Bai clan Forefather has told me to rest my rage for now. He will give me a satisfying explanation. He wants to… kill Chu Kuangren!? And he will offer an Immortal Pill as compensation after the dust has settled?"
Ancient Sparrow City Lord went deep in thought after reading the message from the paper crane.
'The generals exchanged a confused look with each other.
"My Lord, are we still sending our troops out?"
"Send someone to watch Bai Manor's movement first," the City Lord said.
"Yes, sir."
"Bai clan Forefather, no matter what tricks you have up your sleeves, I will not let the death of my son go unavenged!"
Seven days later, Bai clan Forefather brought Chu Kuangren to the Bai clan.
The moment Chu Kuangren stepped into the manor, he sensed an odd presence from the premises. He curled his lips into a grin and whispered to Lil Fox, "No matter what happens later, don't leave my side."
Lil Fox nodded.
Soon, the few of them entered the inner hall.
Other than the Bai clan Forefather, Bai Yeyue, and a few respectable Bai clan elders inside the hall, no one else was there.
"Brother Chu, now can you please take the loot you got from Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm and distribute them?' Bai clan Forefather said with a chuckle.
"Here?"
"Yes, Don't worry. According to what we've agreed upon, eighty percent is yours and twenty percent is ours. We will not ask for a dime more," the Bai clan Forefather said.
"Oh, I'm not worried about that. I'm sure you know how tempting this could be to some people, and there are so many of us here. If I take the loot out, what if someone succumbs to their desires and tries to snatch it?"
His words angered two Bai clan elders.
One of them said, "Brother Chu, are you hinting that the two of us can't control ourselves? You might have underestimated us."
"I don't doubt you two, but what about the others?"
Chu Kuangren then stared at the void behind the elders and said, "Including you guys, there are seventy-two Bai clan Daoist Celestial here in this room. Are you sure every one of them can control themselves and not snatch the loot when I take it out?"
Upon hearing his words, the look on everyone's face turned sour, especially the Bai clan Forefather.
"Now!"
'The Bai clan Forefather shouted before he and the other elders retreated immediately. Countless Daoist patterns suddenly swirled and converged into a giant net above Chu Kuangren and Lil Fox.
"T didn't expect him to notice us so quickly."
"His senses are not to be underestimated."
"Fortunately, we managed to capture him."
The two Bai clan elders sighed a breath of relief.
Chu Kuangren sized up the Daoist pattern net and then chuckled. Oh, a Daoist Weapon used to constrain targets? And it's even a top-notch Daoist Weapon? I have to admit that this is quite a rare item."
"Hmph! Chu Kuangren, now that we've captured you, what else can you possibly do?" Bai Yeyue sneered.
"Capture? With this Daoist Weapon?"
"Chu Kuangren, stop bluffing! This Heavenly Golden Silk Net is the best Daoist Weapon out there. Even a Pseudo Immortal would not be able to escape its constraints. You might be powerful, but it would not be that easy for you to escape this time."
Bai Yeyue scoffed and added, "Chu Kuangren, I'll give you a chance now. Kneel and beg us for your life. Then, maybe, we will consider it."
In the past few days, the few of them had been so severely overpowered by Chu Kuangren that it was embarrassing.
They were not his match, so they could not criticize him.
Chu Kuangren's arrogant and proud attitude enraged them countless times. However, they had to accept him with all smiles because they were afraid of exposing their plans to him, startling him, and causing him to put up his guard against them.
Now, with Chu Kuangren trapped in the net, Bai Yeyue and the others could not wait to see his defeat.
"Yeah, Chu Kuangren. Kneel and beg."
"Call my granddaddy and we, the Bai clan, might spare your life and even feed you."
"Hahaha! Chu Kuangren, you had it coming for you."
Chu Kuangren reacted calmly to the criticism and sneers. He looked at everyone as if he was looking at a bunch of clowns.
"You guys were so humble and putting yourselves down the entire trip. And now look at you, vicious tongues as if you were vipers. The difference is huge," Chu Kuangren said.
"D*mn you! It's all part of the effort to lower your guards!"
"How dare you talk about that? You bast*rd, I'll cut you into pieces later to vent my anger!"
Bai Yeyue and the others were even more agitated when they heard what he said. The look on their faces turned stiff.
"Kill me? I wonder what gave you the confidence," Chu Kuangren said.
With a clang, the Descendant Self Sword unsheathed itself from his waist.
'The white-jaded sword flew across the air, and its violet sword qi swept over everything like a tidal wave.
The moment the violet sword qi collided with the golden net, the net shook violently.
'It's useless. You won't break it," Bai Yeyue said.
"Oh really?" Chu Kuangren grinned, and the source energy in his body erupted.
With the help of seven source energies, the sword qi's power amplified and slashed the golden net into smithereens.
The lingering sword qi continued to wreak havoc like a tornado, and those Bai clan members who got too close to the net were slashed in half.
"Not good! Retreat immediately!"
'The Bai clan Forefather immediately pulled Bai Yeyue away.
At the same time, he activated his Emperor qi to defend himself against the sword qi. Following the rampaging sword qi, the entire Bai Manor was shaken up badly. The floor, the beams, the stone mountain outside… Everything was slashed by the dancing sword qi.
In the blink of an eye, the Bai Manor was turned into a desolated battlefield.
Countless Bai clan members were killed in the process, and those who survived were on their knees, wailing in pain.
Chu Kuangren remained standing, with the Descendant Self Sword in his hand and his white robes fluttering, He was not moved by the horrifying scene before him. Instead, he said coldly, "Since it's you, Bai clan, who attacked me first, then I'll have to send you people to… hell!"
Outside the Bai Manor, soldiers were already marching in under the leadership of a Daoist Celestial general. The whole manor was heavily surrounded.
Meanwhile, high up in the air, a pair of eyes was staring at the Bai Manor, watching what was unfolding inside the hall. The owner of the cold eyes was the Ancient Sparrow City Lord.
"My Lord, the Bai clan has made their move. It seems like they are really going to kill Chu Kuangren and make it up to you," said one of the generals.
"Hmph. Make it up to me? What a joke. They are getting rid of him because he has outlived his value to them. No wonder the Bai clan Forefather stepped up to protect him. This Chu Kuangren has a Moonlight Fox by his side. The forefather wanted to use him and the Moonlight Fox to get the treasures and
Opportunities of Fortune in the Heavenly Blaze Forest Realm."
'The moment Ancient Sparrow City Lord saw the Moonlight Fox, he already had a general idea of what Bai clan Forefather wanted, hence the grin on his face.
"My Lord, the outsider doesn't seem like a normal Supreme Immortal Progeny. The Bai clan seems to be at a disadvantage."
"Don't worry. There's more to the Bai clan than meets the eye. We will just watch, and when the time is right, we will slip in and take them both out.."
