"Please rest assured, Mother, I understand and will never let you down."
“The Bai family will soon change hands. Bai Feng must be going crazy with anxiety these past few days. Don’t confront him. Once Bai Zheng is dead, he won’t amount to anything.” A hint of murderous intent flashed in Madam Wei’s eyes.
“I understand. I’ve had people keep an eye on those alchemists for the past two days, and I’ve decided to close the door to all visitors.”
"good."
On one side was a scene of maternal love and filial piety, but Bai Feng overheard every word of their conversation.
That wretched woman, Lady Wei, if it weren't for my father taking pity on her and taking her in as a concubine, she would probably be dead by now, her bones turned to ash.
Who would have thought that Madam Wei would be so treacherous and ambitious? From a young age, she had influenced her second brother, raising him into the person he is today. She even poisoned their father, attempting to seize control of the entire Bai family.
Now, Bai Feng even suspects that his mother's death might also be related to that vile woman, Wei.
Bai Feng kicked open the door to Wei's room, behind him stood two rows of Bai family's ace fighters—Black Demons.
All the Black Demons possessed strength at the mid-Nascent Soul stage or above. They cultivated a combined attack technique capable of annihilating Nascent Soul cultivators, making them a formidable weapon for the Bai family.
Before falling into a coma, Bai Zheng handed the Black Demon over to Bai Feng, even passing on the family head's order and informing Bai Feng of the Bai family's secret passage.
If he unfortunately dies, do not fight him head-on. Preserve the Bai family lineage, accumulate strength, avenge him, and revitalize the Bai family.
It seems that Father had already anticipated this.
Bai Feng's face was as cold as iron. If anything happened to his father, he would kill those two bastards first.
"Young Master, what do you mean by this?" Madam Wei's beautiful face showed no sign of panic.
"Someone, bring tea to the young master."
"No need, I can't afford your tea. Who knows what kind of poison I might be drinking?"
"Young Master, you're quite the joker." Madam Wei's smile was almost impossible to maintain.
"I never joke around."
"If word gets out that the young master barged into my room in such an aggressive manner, it will likely damage his reputation."
"Reputation? You still dare to talk to me about reputation? You know perfectly well how your father has treated you all these years, how everyone in the Bai family has treated you. But how have you treated your father and the Bai family?"
Bai Feng suppressed his anger. "That bitch Wei!"
"Young Master, what does this mean? I don't quite understand."
"Stop pretending." Bai Feng held a colorless and transparent memory crystal in his hand: "I have written down every word of your conversation with your second brother. Next, I will ask the clan elders to put you on trial."
"It was just a few jokes, how could you take it seriously? You are your father's son, but isn't Chang'er also? Now that your father is like this, is it too much for me, as his mother, to make some plans for my child in advance?"
"Even now, you're still trying to argue."
"Young Master, everything I said is true."
"What is the truth? You and I both know it. It's the Heavenly Star Poison."
"What did you say? How is that possible? I don't understand what you're saying." Mrs. Wei's eyes were filled with panic.
"Don't you understand? I said the poison my father was given was Tianxing, and it was you, his bedmate, who administered it. What's the problem?"
"What evidence do you have that I planted the seed? You're trying to frame me, but you won't get a chance."
"Whether it's slander or not, you know perfectly well."
A cyan jade bottle appeared in Bai Feng's hand, containing the Heavenly Star Poison prepared by Ye Xiruo.
“Mrs. Wei, this is a toxin I extracted from my father’s blood. What do you think about using it on my second brother?” Bai Feng walked towards Bai Chang step by step.
“Second brother, I didn’t want to do this either. The Wei family’s plot to murder the family head is unforgivable, and as someone who knew about it, you colluded with the Wei family to murder the family head, so you are also guilty.”
"Bai Feng, are you crazy? He's your brother, your own brother! How could you do such a thing to him?" Madam Wei rushed towards Bai Feng like a madwoman, trying to stop him.
"Someone, stop her!"
Several Black Demon soldiers blocked Wei's path.
Bai Feng had already stood in front of Bai Chang.
"Big brother, big-big-brother, I knew nothing about this, I'm innocent."
"Even if you are innocent, you will be the biggest beneficiary after this succeeds. Do you think I will believe you are innocent? You knew nothing about your father's poisoning?"
“I truly had no knowledge of it; how could I possibly murder my father?”
Bai Feng sneered: "So many innocent people claiming to know nothing about it."
"Big brother—"
Bai Feng emanated waves of oppressive force, rendering Bai Chang completely immobile.
"Don't blame your brother for being ruthless. Since your mother has the ability to poison, I believe she also knows the antidote. Your life is entirely in your mother's hands."
"Bai Feng, I beg you, I'm willing to trade my life for yours. Chang'er is innocent, he's so young, you can't ruin him."
"Tell me, where is the antidote?"
"There's no solution for Tianxing." Wei stammered out these words, and Bai Feng's face turned pale, as did Bai Chang's expression.
"Who exactly instructed you to enter the Bai residence and poison my father?"
“There was no one else. I was just jealous of your father’s deep affection for your mother and his disdain for me. I was so jealous that I poisoned your father to take revenge.”
"Looks like you're still not giving up."
Bai Feng opened the bottle in his hand, grabbed Bai Chang's face with his right hand, forcing his mouth open, and poured the Heavenly Star into the jade bottle.
"Ahhh—Chang'er!" Wei's eyes were bloodshot, and many plum blossom darts appeared in her hands as she directly engaged the Black Demon in combat.
"Bai Feng, you killed Chang'er, I will make you pay with your life."
Wei appeared to be insane; her long black hair was wildly flowing, her exquisite makeup had vanished, and her beautiful face was contorted in a grotesque grimace. It was utterly terrifying.
"Set up a formation that allows for flexibility."
Bai Feng calmly instructed that even if the Wei family possessed extraordinary abilities, they would still be no match for the Black Demon.
"Brother, how cruel you are!" Bai Chang clutched his throat tightly, trying to spit out the Heavenly Star Poison. Unfortunately, the Heavenly Star Poison melted instantly upon entering his mouth. Even if Bai Chang vomited to death, he would never be able to expel the Heavenly Star Poison.
"An eye for an eye. The Wei family should have thought this day would come when they poisoned her."
Bai Chang was in excruciating pain all over his body, and black blood was seeping from his mouth and nose. His eyes were fixed on Bai Feng with resentment.
"Bai Feng, I will haunt you even as a ghost."
"The Heavenly Star will burn your heart and refine your soul, so you will be scattered and never reincarnated."
"Bai Feng, Bai Feng, I'll tell you everything, please, please save Chang'er, save Chang'er."
Wei Shi had already been captured by the Black Demon and pinned to the ground. Her eyes, filled with despair, stared at Bai Chang, who lay on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.
