Seeing Bai Susu take action to kill, the crowd was furious.
With intentional incitent from Ten Thousand Puppet Sect, dicine King Valley, and so Loose Cultivators, the cultivators were eager to move.
Now, with cracks appearing across the sky and the imminent disintegration of the Grotto Heaven, everyone was terrified and the atmosphere was tense.
Within the Xu Family’s ranks, Xu Buhui’s face changed slightly, secretly instructing a trusted follower.
The trusted follower decisively leaped out from the crowd and shouted loudly:
"Ancestor, ti is pressing! Please take action to capture True Inheritor Bai and search her soul! We cannot allow her to disrupt us recklessly and delay ti! It seems... True Inheritor Bai intends to delay us so that we perish within the Grotto Heaven! In this way, she can completely control our Xu Family afterward, and also enable the Lingyin Sect to benefit!"
Xu Buhui was not making wild guesses.
Many cultivators present held the sa thought.
These cultivators were mostly the backbones of major forces; the number of Foundation Establishnt True n alone was in the tens.
If they all perished within the Grotto Heaven, it would undoubtedly benefit the developnt of the Lingyin Sect.
Although many cultivation clans under the Lingyin Sect’s banner were also present... these clans might not truly align with the Lingyin Sect, and if they died, it would make it easier for the Lingyin Sect to control these cultivation clans.
Seeing the Xu Family take the lead in making accusations, the atmosphere on the scene beca tense in an instant.
Bai Susu’s relentless action of decapitating with one sword was still fresh in everyone’s mory.
But at this mont, the Xu Family directly pointed at the Lingyin Sect’s True Inheritor!
And the Xu Family’s Ancestor was a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishnt expert, so why would he fear Bai Susu?
Forces like Ten Thousand Puppet Sect and dicine King Valley, which already harbored hostility toward Lingyin Sect, exchanged glances, their montum growing stronger, and so were secretly mobilizing spiritual power to block possible escape routes for Bai Susu and Chen Ye.
"How could you all be intent on infighting instead of seeking survival? Our Lingyin Sect is a prestigious and righteous sect, how could we deceive and kill you?"
The Lingyin Sect Guardian shouted urgently,
"Besides, the void is shattering, yet there is still a chance to survive, why harm fellow Daoists?"
But at this mont, who would listen to him?
Xu Henshan’s gaze swept over the cold and proud face of Bai Susu and Chen Ye, then over the ominously expanding spatial cracks in the sky.
His withered fingers slightly trembled within his sleeve, and a subtle pressure began to spread.
Although he hadn’t fully exerted it, it caused a significant shock among many Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Bai Susu placed her fingers on the sword hilt, turned, and gave Chen Ye a comforting smile.
Her petite figure, with a cold and proud yet youthful face, seed like she was of the sa age as Zhiwei and Qing Jun.
Yet at this mont, she stood with sword in hand in front of Chen Ye, exuding an aura powerful enough to suppress the whole scene.
Although Chen Ye couldn’t understand where Bai Susu got the confidence to confront Xu Henshan,
Seeing the young girl fearlessly stern, he felt sowhat reassured.
It wasn’t until he saw the younger girl charge out like a small flying sword that his expression changed.
"Chen Ye."
Perhaps worried that Chen Ye would act impulsively upon seeing Qing Jun, Bai Susu explained through a voice transmission,
"Xu Henshan values Qing Jun beyond your imagination. The Xu Family settled in the Yan Kingdom back then for other reasons and holds a blood feud. Xu Henshan has always wanted to return to the Ruins Country for revenge... In short, he values your young disciple, perhaps believing she has the potential for Golden Core and beyond, to avenge him. Now Xu Henshan’s life is almost at its end, and he doesn’t care about his own death, but he cares about having a successor."
Bai Susu remained calm, believing in the position Chen Ye held in Qing Jun’s heart.
anwhile, the silver-haired little girl charged out and stood in front of Xu Henshan:
"Grandpa, stop! You must not harm Master... or Sister Susu!"
She gripped the Xiaohan Sword tightly with both hands, her face turning red with anxiety.
"Qing Jun! Impudent! How dare you act recklessly before the Ancestor!"
Xu Buhui’s face turned livid as he sternly reprimanded.
He never expected this rebellious girl to openly point her sword at the Ancestor!
Xu Henshan raised an eyebrow, taking a focused look at Chen Ye before lowering his gaze to the flying sword pointing at his throat, furrowing his brow: "Qing Jun, what do you an by this?"
Qing Jun ignored others’ reprimands entirely, like a protective little beast, fearlessly eting Xu Henshan’s gaze, speaking quickly and urgently:
"If sothing happens to Master, then Qing Jun won’t survive either! If Grandpa makes a move against Master, kill Qing Jun first!"
Seeing that the Ancestor did not rebuke her, Xu Buhui’s face softened, and he spoke gently: "Qing Jun, how could the Ancestor kill your Master, stop this..."
Qing Jun was almost about to cry: "You’re just trying to fool Qing Jun like a child! If Sister Susu dies, how would Master... how would Master escape?"
Everyone was astonished, talking among themselves.
Just who on earth was this Chen Ye?
Clearly a tall, burly man... so why were there so many little girls protecting him?
For a mont, so people’s gazes at Chen Ye changed, and a female cultivator muttered under her breath: "Ha! Quite the skill, for a man to specifically deceive naive young girls."
"Not at all, True Inheritor Bai is definitely not a little girl. Besides, that little girl is his disciple; it’s only right for a disciple to protect her master!" Luo Heng couldn’t help but interject, speaking up for Chen Ye.
The female cultivator sneered:
"True Inheritor Bai has been in seclusion for years, and in terms of appearance... besides, one or two would be fine, but look, there’s another black-haired one, it’s all little girls around him!"
Luo Heng found it amusing; people truly are ignorant, easily blinded by appearances.
He shook his head and said: "That black-haired little girl is also Chen Ye’s disciple! Besides, doesn’t he have a fox with him? It’s not all little girls."
The female cultivator was montarily stunned, not expecting the black-haired one to also be a disciple. She looked suspiciously and questioned: "Fellow Daoist, how do you know so much about Chen Ye? Could it be that you..."
Luo Heng coughed once, and displeased, he replied: "I am not acquainted with him at all! It’s just... just that he is a sowhat famous Spirit Plant Cultivator!"
