No one knew what had happened. All they saw was a flash of white light before their eyes, and Bai Fenglang's body was sent flying backward with a violent force. Blood gushed from his mouth, and he finally slammed into the courtyard wall with a loud thud, collapsing to the ground.
This sudden attack sent a chill down everyone's spines. Looking at Bai Fenglang's miserable state, they involuntarily swallowed.
However, compared to the reactions of others, Fang Junxue and the other women were much calmer. The slight upward curve of her lips revealed everything.
Her clear, mirror-like eyes were filled with tenderness.
"It seems that guy is angry!"
Ji Hongying tilted her head slightly, casting her gaze towards a certain spot in the void, and also smiled enchantingly.
This was naturally Ye Ming's doing.
Although they had discussed it before coming, Ye Ming was to remain hidden unless absolutely necessary. To maintain the illusion that Ye Ming was still at Gaoqiao Village, even Nangong Qianyu had not shown himself.
But Bai Fenglang's insult towards Fang Junxue had clearly touched Ye Ming's reverse scale.
Thus, he struck in anger.
Even so, Ye Ming had controlled his strength, not directly killing Bai Fenglang. He respected Fang Junxue, and the Bai family's grievances were to be resolved by her personally.
"Who is it?"
Bai Fenglang stood up, his body disheveled, his blood-red pupils scanning his surroundings. But with his strength, how could he possibly detect Ye Ming's presence?
In the end, his gaze locked onto Fang Junxue.
"It seems that after returning to the Bai family, you made thorough preparations in secret!" Bai Fenglang said coldly, his face grim.
However, judging by the effect of the attack just now, Bai Fenglang did not take it too seriously. Although he seemed to have spat out a mouthful of blood, it could at most be considered a minor internal injury.
Moreover, this was due to the opponent's surprise attack.
If the hidden person were to reveal themselves, Bai Fenglang was absolutely confident that he could evade the attack and even counterattack.
Having figured this out, Bai Fenglang's expression warmed slightly, but it was still filled with coldness: "Hmph! Just a rat hiding its head and tail!"
There was no response from the air.
"Young Master Bai, you should know why I'm here. There's no need to waste everyone's time!"
Fang Junxue's gaze sharpened, and the icy aura emanating from her caused the surrounding air temperature to drop a few degrees.
"Hehehe! You want to know the truth of three years ago?" Bai Fenglang sneered, his eyebrows raised, and said, "But why should I tell you?"
This was an open provocation.
"Is that so?" Fang Junxue dismissed Bai Fenglang's provocation with disdain: "Actually, I wasn't expecting you to tell me!"
"Oh!"
Bai Fenglang became interested: "Then I'm looking forward to it!"
Afterward, he turned around and said to all the ancient martial arts factions behind him: "Fang Junxue is an outcast of my Bai family. I originally intended to treat her with courtesy when she returned today. But as everyone can see, she doesn't appreciate it at all."
"Judging by the situation, she's clearly here for revenge against my Bai family. Since that's the case, to protect the safety of my Bai family, Fenglang hopes you can all act righteously and eliminate this unfilial descendant for my Bai family!" Bai Fenglang bowed his hands and continued: "After this matter is settled, Fenglang will surely reward you handsomely!"
As for what the reward was, everyone knew it in their hearts.
The method to break through to Martial God was something everyone present yearned for.
However, what stood before them now was not just Fang Junxue, but the entire Qianxue Group. And, behind them, was that world-renowned adult.
Weighing the options, the vast majority hesitated.
Seeing their hesitation, Bai Fenglang sneered inwardly: "A bunch of old foxes who want benefits without putting in effort, calculating things quite well."
Understanding this, Bai Fenglang could not let them have their way.
With a glance, he looked at Chi Chuan, who stood at the forefront of the ancient martial arts factions. The latter nodded slightly and whispered a few words to his father, Chi Lie.
The next second, Chi Lie, representing the entire Qi Sect, stepped forward and spoke righteously: "Although Fang Junxue is an outcast, she is ultimately of Bai family blood. Now, seeking revenge against the entire family out of hatred is an act of extreme rebellion." Chi Lie unleashed his full aura, and a terrifying imperial pressure filled the heavens and earth. He roared, "My Qi Sect is willing to clean house for the Bai family and eliminate this wicked creature!"
"Hahaha! Good! Thank you, Sect Master Chi, for your righteousness. My Bai family is deeply grateful!"
Bai Fenglang laughed heartily, his face full of triumph.
Now that someone had taken the lead, the previously undecided small and medium-sized ancient martial arts sects also did not want to miss this opportunity. They stepped forward one after another, their auras fully displayed:
"My Sanqing Mountain is also willing to lend a hand to the Bai family!"
"My Ancient Fist Sect is also willing to clean house for the Bai family!"
"My Liuyun Sect cannot stand those who commit grave acts of rebellion. Today, we will surely kill her!"
"..."
At this moment, one by one, they spoke with righteous indignation, as if the person opposite them had an irreconcilable feud with them.
They all began to condemn her.
Only the Dragon Gate did not immediately express their stance.
Han Tiandao's expression was also extremely grim. He knew very well that Bai Fenglang was forcing them to make a choice.
If they did not step out at this moment, then the "method to break through to Martial God" would likely be completely out of reach for his Dragon Gate.
If Ye Ming knew his current thoughts, he would probably curse him as an idiot.
The method to break through to Martial God had already spread throughout the world. As long as they diligently studied the immortal cultivation methods leaked from the live stream, they might have already seen the threshold to break through to Martial God.
But even so, at this stage, Ye Ming could not explicitly state in the live stream that the cultivation methods he imparted could allow people to break through to Martial God!
If he did, belief aside, it was certain that the world would descend into chaos.
This was not what Ye Ming wanted.
What he wanted was to subtly change ordinary people, leading them unconsciously onto the path of immortality. Only then would it be beneficial for his future plans.
Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?
Just as Han Tiandao was still struggling, Lin Fengxuan, who was behind him, suddenly walked forward.
His gaze first fell on Ji Hongying, who was standing beside Fang Junxue, and then a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
At this point, some things had become clear.
Ever since Ji Hongying appeared, Lin Fengxuan had known that she was after him. Coupled with the previous conflict between the Lin family and Ye Ming, reconciliation was impossible.
The hatred for a son's death was irreconcilable.
No one knew what Lin Fengxuan whispered into Han Tiandao's ear. The latter's pupils suddenly contracted, his body trembled slightly, and the brilliance flickering in his eyes also dimmed.
Lin Fengxuan smiled coldly and stepped back.
Han Tiandao, on the other hand, took a step forward, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the scene, shaking the heavens and the earth.
"My Dragon Gate is willing to eliminate the rebellious person for the Bai family!"
