When Bai Mian heard Xue Kong's words, she felt extremely desperate and even prepared herself mentally to commit suicide. Her current behavior was a helpless act of giving up everything.

If Xue Kong doesn't take her away, her future will be dark.

But when she heard the word "but", a glimmer of hope emerged in her heart. Her familiarity with Xue Kong made her subconsciously feel that there was a terrible thing behind the word "but".

"However... since you are unwilling to hand over the map of the north, I have no choice but to come and get it myself." Xue Kong finally slowly uttered the words he had not yet said.

He was tall and slender, dressed in a black robe, and he exuded an indescribable aura as he stood there. This aura made everyone around him feel a palpitation in their hearts when they saw him.

Bai Mian, wearing a phoenix crown and a wedding dress, melted into Xue Kong's arms. She did not loosen her arms, but instead hugged Xue Kong's chest tightly, grabbing this last life-saving straw.

"How dare you speak so arrogantly in my Bai Mansion. You are the first person in history, but you are extremely stupid!" The head of the Bai family shouted angrily, which was undoubtedly a provocation to the dignity of the Bai family.

"Where are the descendants of the Bai family?"

"exist!"

"Junior is here!"

"Follow the orders of the patriarch!" At once, young men from the Bai family came out from all directions. They were all cultivators. After dispersing the guests, they surrounded Xue Kong and Bai Mian in the middle.

All the guests were frightened and huddled in the corner, not daring to move.

"Capture this man, cripple his hands and feet, and hand him over to Nephew Tang for punishment." The head of the Bai family said coldly.

In an instant.

One by one, the young men of the Bai family rushed towards Xue Kong. Their magic spells were dazzling, and their magic weapons appeared in endlessly, attacking Xue Kong one after another.

Bai Mian buried her head deeply in Xue Kong's chest. Others could not see Xue Kong's cultivation level, but she knew Xue Kong very well. He even dared to plot against Xue Kong, the Poison King, let alone her own clansmen who were all at the level of Qi Condensation.

She didn't dare to look, because the fate of these people was already determined.

Xue Kong shook his head slightly, raised his right hand and grabbed to his side. Immediately, a person's body was out of control and was sucked into his palm.

Click.

The man's neck was broken directly, and then the body was thrown away by Xue Kong like garbage.

As for the spells and magic weapons, they were blocked by an invisible force ten feet away from Xue Kong and could not get close to him.

"This person has a good level of cultivation, everyone be careful." Bai Jiumu immediately reminded.

boom!

Xue Kong raised his right foot and then stepped lightly on the ground. An invisible ripple spread out in a circle. Anyone who came into contact with the ripple, whether they were mortals or cultivators, exploded and died.

The soul flew out and was taken away by Xue Kong.

For a moment, there were continuous muffled thuds of bodies collapsing in the Bai Mansion, and a bloody mist emerged.

Bai Mian buried his head deeper.

There was complete silence all around.

Whether they were guests or members of the Bai family, their eyes widened, almost falling out of their sockets, as they stared at this exaggerated scene in disbelief.

"He killed everyone with just a stomp of his foot... What kind of cultivation level does this person have?"

“Could it be…” Bai Jiumu took a breath of cold air, “Could it be a Foundation Establishment cultivator!”

The young city lord of Scorpion City's face turned pale and blue at this moment. He did not expect that this unknown person actually had the foundation-building cultivation level. It was really beyond his expectation.

"No wonder I lost contact with all the people I stationed in Jianxia City. Now it seems that they were all killed by him." The young city lord of Scorpion City had a gloomy expression and felt that something was wrong.

The young man from the Feng family beside him patted his shoulder and whispered, "Brother Tang, this person has a good cultivation base. If we force our way in, we will have no chance of winning. Why not ask your father for help?"

"Even if it's just a reputation, we can still suppress him. After this matter is over, it won't be too late to hunt him down."

The Young Lord of Scorpion City thought carefully for a long while before nodding: "Father has already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage after coming out of seclusion. Killing him will be easy. We can only show weakness for now."

So, he took the initiative to step forward, clasped his hands together, and bowed to Xue Kong: "Fellow Daoist, this is all a misunderstanding."

"Please hold back and don't hurt innocent people."

"Misunderstanding? Is that so?" Xue Kong sneered, and with a thought, nine evil ghosts suddenly rushed out of his body. The evil ghosts let out ferocious roars, and as soon as they appeared, they drilled into the bodies of several people, pulled out their souls and gave them to Xue Kong.

"Don't push me too far!" The young lord of Scorpion City snorted coldly. Seeing Xue Kong's disrespect, he immediately got angry and threatened, "My father is the lord of Scorpion City!"

"He is currently in seclusion, trying to break through the bottleneck of the late stage of foundation building. He will be out soon. If you persist in doing so, my father will never forgive you!"

The nine evil ghosts all stopped in the air, their ghost eyes scanning the people around them with greed in their eyes.

Everyone was so frightened that they trembled with fear and could only bury their heads and sob quietly, not daring to attract the attention of the evil spirit.

"On the day of your wedding, I came here today. I don't have time to prepare any expensive gifts, so I can only give you a small gift." Xue Kong smiled slightly.

Bai Mian's body in his arms trembled slightly.

It was something she didn't want to hear.

Was he frightened by the threat from the Young Lord of Scorpion City?

No, this was not the Xue Kong she remembered.

She found that she really couldn't see through this man and didn't know what his intentions were.

Hearing Xue Kong's seemingly submissive words, the head of the Bai family felt relieved. If it weren't for the support of the Lord of Scorpion City, he wouldn't have known what to do for a moment.

So he temporarily suppressed the hatred in his heart and clasped his fists, saying, "Senior, we can discuss this. I believe it was just a misunderstanding. Now that we have cleared up the misunderstanding, you can stay and participate in this dual cultivation ceremony."

"As for the northern map, we can discuss it after the Dual Cultivation Ceremony."

The young lord of Scorpion City appeared calm on the outside, but inwardly he was disdainful and considered Xue Kong a bully. He only threatened him lightly, and the other party still behaved well...

Just as his mind was full of thoughts.

Xue Kong waved his sleeves, and a round object suddenly appeared out of thin air. It fell to the ground in the lobby with a thud, then rolled several times before finally stopping in front of the young lord of Scorpion City and the elders of the Bai family.

They looked closely, and when they saw clearly what it was, their faces instantly turned as pale as a corpse.

"This... this is..." The elders of the Bai family were extremely shocked, their lips trembled, and suddenly they were unable to speak.

"Dad!" A shrill scream rose.

The young lord of Scorpion City fell to his knees with a thud, tears rolling down his eyes. He picked up the round object, which turned out to be a bloody head. On the terrified face, the eyes were wide open, as if they were still open.

"No! This is impossible!" The young man from the Feng family also began to breathe rapidly, shaking his head like a rattle, unable to believe what he saw. "Senior Tang is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. How could you possibly kill him?"

"Besides, when we left Scorpion City last night, Senior Tang was still fine. Only one night had passed. How could you have broken into Scorpion City overnight and killed Senior Tang by yourself?"

"This is ridiculous. I don't believe it!"
