âThey have nothing to do with me anymore, nor will they stay here.â Bai Chang Feng wants to salvage the last bit of hope he has left by making up this lie, âSo, let them leave the mountain. They are not involved in this.â
The middle-aged man sneered at the obvious deceit: âIf it was before then perhaps, I wouldâve agreed to the request. Unfortunately for you though, this woman harmed one of my subordinates. Now I wonât let a single one of you escape!â
Hurt his subordinate?
Baffled by what heâs heard, Bai Chang Feng shifts his attention over to the indicated man wearing the grey robe. The blood leaking out of that freshly made wound told the entire story. The way the woman ripped off his arm was ruthless and cold. Thereâs still blood dripping downwards and the veins and muscles dangling there were gruesome just by looking.
That guy⦠it was Yan Yan who injured him?
Just as the old grandpa remains stuck in his stunned state, those followers of the middle-aged man have begun to move. Towards the dangers in front of herself, Bai Yan stands firm with her reddish blade in hand. Sheâs not scared at being outnumbered. In fact, those eyes only had a chilling coldness to them.
âYanâerâ¦.â
Seeing that rosy figure rushing right into danger, this poor grandfather felt immeasurable sadness and distress. Heâs angry at himself for being so useless and hateful at these enemies for putting the girl in danger. As a result, the injury he barely recovered from decides to have a relapse. Coughing hard, blood comes flying out of that throat and making a mess of things.
âDragony, look after Grandfather for me, donât let him make any sudden movement.â Furrowing his cute little brow, Bai Xiachen moves up a step to get a better position.
âBut Prince, what are you planning to do?â Blinking her maiden eyes, the dragoness asks with curious light.
âOf course Iâm going to get some help for my mother you silly.â Thereâs seriousness in the kidâs face despite that adorably cuddlable appearance. Clearing his throat, a strange sonic wave came out of that mouth next.
Though the sound wasnât very loud at all, practically silent even to everyone except Dragony, but it carried an almost magical power. The reasoning being that those demon beasts currently hiding away inside this mountain, theyâre reacting to the soundwave. More precisely, they heard the summoning and was rushing over in haste!
While the kids were doing their own thing, Bai Yanâs fight was now at a climax. Sheâs slain many of these invaders already and left their bodies littered across the mountain.
Towards this picture, the coward Elder Lin who feared for his life before was growing more and more ugly with each passing second. He knows, if the lady could truly turn the tide by herself then the consequences of his own actions earlier would not go well for himself. Itâs making him very uncomfortable at the moment.
Butâ¦â¦
Taking another look at the middle-aged man standing in the rear, Elder Linâs ugly expression slowly relaxes again.
If his subordinates are this powerful then this man himself must be even stronger. Yes, Bai Yan will definitely die when confronting that man!
âWhatâs going on?â
Suddenly, an earthshaking tremor catches everyoneâs attention. Shifting their attention towards the general direction of where that sound came from, they could see the deserting disciples from earlier running back up to their spot with panic in their faces.
âWhatâs going on?â Elder Lin asks with a grim expression.
âThe monsters⦠thereâs a lot of demon beasts back there!â One of the disciples nearly burst into tears when answering: âWe were running down the mountain when our group was overrun by a large stampede of demon beasts! Those monsters trampled some of us alive and only some of us made it back up here!â
