520: Chapter 462: Humiliating the Bai Family – Part 2 520: Chapter 462: Humiliating the Bai Family – Part 2 Wu Mu, upon hearing this, firmly grasped what Bai Yuan ant.
No matter the number or quality of Jianghu people Bai Family had won over, Ye Family couldn’t compare—apart from him, Bai Family had gained the allegiance of a Gang Qi Realm strongman known as the Jie Dao, whose saber technique was divine, ranking him among the top ten in the Dragon Ranking.
Currently, Jie Dao was traveling with Bai Family’s martial arts genius, Emperor Bai, helping him breakthrough the barriers of the Gang Qi Realm, aiming to make Emperor Bai the youngest Gang Qi Realm strongman in Huaxia and even globally!
The reason he and Jie Dao were won over by Bai Family, aside from the repeated humble invitations from the Bai Family years ago, was also because Chu Xuanji was very close to the Ye Family at the ti—both of them were Chu Xuanji’s archenemies!
“Master Wumu, after you get out of the car later, you bring this up,” Bai Yuan said.
After his anger subsided, Bai Yuan cald down, his eyes flickering with sharp light, “If they ask about you, I’ll say I ran into you on the way.
You ca because you sensed intense fluctuations in Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi and thought soone was plotting against Ye Yuanshan, so you ca to check.”
“Hmm.”
Wu Mu nodded.
Since Bai Yuan wanted to bla Chu Xuanji for treating Ye Yuanshan, he had to clearly distance himself from him, at least superficially.
Soon, the car stopped ten ters away from the inner courtyard building, and Bai Family’s assassins, acting as drivers, imdiately jumped out of the car to open the rear doors for Bai Yuan and Wu Mu.
Wu Mu was the first to step out of the car, followed by Bai Yuan.
This was Ye Fan’s first encounter with Wu Mu and Bai Yuan, but he identified them imdiately through their attire and aura.
Wu Mu was dressed in a black long robe, his hair jet-black and shiny.
His face was small, but his nose was distinctively sharp, and his eyes were narrow and almost invisible when squinted, exuding a chilling and sinister gaze.
This, paired with his cold, evil air, gave one the feeling of a creepy, tingling sensation on the scalp.
Bai Yuan, in contrast, wore a jacket and dress trousers with leather shoes, and sported a pair of glasses, initially giving off a scholarly aura.
But upon closer inspection, he exuded an air of Commanding Presence.
This was the aura of a man accustod to high authority and holding the power of life and death, honed over ti.
As Ye Fan carefully observed Wu Mu and Bai Yuan, they ignored him, looking towards others instead.
In their eyes, Ye Fan seed like a re wisp of air, completely non-existent!
In Bai Yuan’s gaze were Ye Yuanshan, Ye Zhen, Ye Wenhao, and Yan, while Wu Mu only looked at Yan and Chu Xuanji.
“Sorry, old chief, I should have co to see you as soon as I heard you were sick and hospitalized, but I was inspecting work in dong hai at the ti, and only returned this afternoon.
How are you feeling now?”
Although Bai Yuan secretly wished that Ye Yuanshan would report to Yama Palace, he humbly kept a very polite deanor on the surface, even appearing concerned, which might have misled any onlooker into thinking Bai Yuan was a relative or a close confidant of Ye Yuanshan.
This was the so-called art of politics.
Even if they were fiercely adversarial in secret, they remained amiable on the surface; killing without a trace of blood is precisely this.
“Thank you for your concern, Xiao Yuan, I feel much better now,” Ye Yuanshan casually replied, then deliberately provoked, “Xiao Yuan, you now hold a significant position, managing countless affairs, and needn’t worry about visiting this old man, rather focus more on the well-being of Jiangshan Society.”
“Old chief, you have toiled for the country and its people all your life, exhaustedly.
Now that you are sick, no matter how busy I am, my duty is to visit,” Bai Yuan said.
Wu Mu feigned a cultivator’s bowing salute to Yan and coldly said, “If I rember correctly, according to Yanhuang Organization’s regulations, Gang Qi Realm strongn should not disturb public order or political discussions.
This old gentleman is a veteran in politics, and yet Chu Xuanji, ranked second in the Dragon Ranking as a Supre Strongman, now disregards the regulations of Yanhuang Organization.
Why is that?
Is it because Chu Xuanji once had rits in saving the world?”
Hmm?
Startled by Wu Mu’s statent and recalling Bai Yuan’s earlier explanation of his relationship with Wu Mu, everyone instantly understood the implication.
Among them, Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen’s expressions turned unsightly—they had not expected Bai Yuan to turn the tables on them!
Yan’s brow furrowed slightly in displeasure, about to speak in defense.
But—
Chu Xuanji was quicker.
“Heh, Wu Mu, which of your eyes saw giving Old Ye a lease on life?” Chu Xuanji coldly stared at Wu Mu.
Indifferently, Wu Mu said, “According to ancient books, Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique requires the practitioner’s mind and spirit to be exceptionally powerful, steadfast, and adept in controlling Mind Power—a cultivator below Gang Qi Realm couldn’t possibly do it.
And here, you’re the only Gang Qi Realm Magician.”
“Hehe…”
Upon hearing Wu Mu’s words, Chu Xuanji thought of his disciple who was comparable to a Gang Qi Realm Magician, and not angry but amused, he said, “If that’s the case, why don’t you perform the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique for to see?”
“You…”
Wu Mu, flushed with anger, although a Gang Qi Great Success Realm Mage, had only read about the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique in ancient books without studying or practicing it himself—how could he possibly know it?
“Since you can’t, why spout nonsense?”
Chu Xuanji looked down at Wu Mu with disdain, but deep down, he felt incredibly proud of his disciple—even though Ye Fan had successfully perford the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique relying on the peculiarities within him, there’s a saying that fits well, whether a black cat or a white cat, as long as it catches mice, it’s a good cat—his disciple had managed to leave Wu Mu’s useless disciples leagues behind just by this feat!
“Hey, Chu Xuanji, although we have had conflicts and fought covertly and overtly for many years, I always thought you were a man of integrity.
Now it seems I was wrong—you who dare not admit your actions and can only shrink like a turtle, are a re coward, unworthy of being my opponent!”
Upon hearing Chu Xuanji’s insult and sensing his triumph, Wu Mu beca even more annoyed and struck back sharply.
“Opponent?
I’ve never considered you one!” Chu Xuanji looked at Wu Mu with a sidelong glance and said nonchalantly.
As the echo of his words faded, Chu Xuanji no longer concealed his aura.
A powerful breath erged from within him, generating a stream of air out of thin air.
“You…
you have broken through to the Peak of Gang Qi?”
Wu Mu’s expression changed drastically!
Although Chu Xuanji was known as a genius of heaven with outstanding cultivation talent, his interests were too diverse and wide-ranging.
Unlike a normal cultivator, he didn’t focus solely on cultivation practices.
He had always lagged behind Wu Mu, and although he later strove to catch up, he had remained on par with him, maintaining the Gang Qi Great Success Realm.
He only occupied the second position on the Dragon Ranking due to his Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts!
Now, Chu Xuanji had broken through to the Peak of Gang Qi, while he was still stuck at the Gang Qi Great Success Realm, unable to advance further—how could this not shock him?
No response ca.
Bai Yuan was directly blown back three steps by the air stream that burst out of nowhere, almost falling to the ground.
Ye Yuanshan and Ye Zhen were unaffected due to Yan’s assistance.
Wu Mu, regaining his composure from the shock, quickly grabbed Bai Yuan and dispersed the air stream around them.
“Wu Mu, although I’ve never considered you a rival, if you continue to speak disrespectfully, I wouldn’t mind teaching you a lesson in humility,” said Chu Xuanji, his tone mild but his aura withdrawn.
“Hiss~”
Wu Mu’s mouth twitched with anger, but he dared not retort—after Chu Xuanji entered the Gang Qi Great Success Realm, he could defeat him with his Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts.
Now that Chu Xuanji had broken through to the Peak of Gang Qi, he was certain to be trounced as if he were nothing!
“Director Yan, what’s going on here?
Although Chu Xuanji has rits in saving the world, he shouldn’t openly defy the rules of the Yanhuang Organization, especially not right under your watch!”
While Wu Mu was furiously speechless, Bai Yuan reacted differently.
He looked slightly disheveled at Yan, his face void of anger, but his words betrayed his true feelings.
“Emperor Bai, you just ntioned that Old Ye has dedicated his life working tirelessly for the nation and the people, and is one of the last great elders of Huaxia.”
Yan frowned, “Old Ye is now plagued by illness, suffering imnsely.
It’s only natural for Master Chu to treat him.”
“Director Yan, while that’s true, rules are still rules.
Now, with Master Chu breaking the rules, I worry that so might use this as an excuse to collude with the Jianghu People, causing chaos and disorder!” Bai Yuan seed to express concern for the society, but in reality, he was nitpicking, subtly cautioning.
“You’re overthinking, Emperor Bai.
What I ntioned was hypothetical—the one treating Old Ye is actually Ye Fan, not Master Chu!” Yan looked at Bai Yuan with slight displeasure, revealing the truth.
Whoosh!
With that, Bai Yuan instantly turned his gaze towards Ye Fan!
This was the first ti he had properly acknowledged Ye Fan since getting out of his car!
It seed that only at this mont did Ye Fan appear to him as a real, live person, and not just air!
Not only him, but Wu Mu also stared at Ye Fan as if seeing a ghost.
Catching the shocked looks in the eyes of Bai Yuan and Wu Mu, Ye Fan thought back to their earlier domineering attitude when they ignored him and decided to reciprocate, completely ignoring their presence.
Hmph?
Ye Fan’s lofty deanor instantly aggravated Bai Yuan, turning the shock in his eyes to annoyance, with disbelief prevailing— he refused to believe that the young Ye Fan could perform the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique that even Wu Mu couldn’t execute!
“This can’t be!
With his abilities, he couldn’t possibly perform the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique!
Chu Xuanji, you’re really despicable, not only failing to admit it but also pushing it onto your disciple!”
Compared to Bai Yuan, Wu Mu’s anger was even more intense.
In his view, Yan was deliberately colluding with Chu Xuanji to humiliate him—how could Ye Fan, rely at the Peak of Innate Realm, possibly perform the Heaven-defying Fate Changing Technique?
“Huff!”
Wu Mu’s response was a slap!
Chu Xuanji swung his right hand, sending out a blast of Gang Qi from his palm that materialized into a nearly solid black hand, swiftly striking towards Wu Mu.
Upon impact, the Gang Qi transford into a slap that burst through the air, causing a roaring flow, incredibly forceful.
Hmm?
Wu Mu sensed Chu Xuanji’s move imdiately but was too close to dodge in ti and could only try to fend off with his own Gang Qi.
“Smack—”
The slap was resounding, with Wu Mu’s facial Gang Qi shattered, hurling him through the air.
“Why can’t you learn your lesson?”
Having flung Wu Mu with a slap, Chu Xuanji sneered, “Also, let remind you one more thing.
Don’t compare my disciple to your worthless ones—they are not even on the sa level!!”
