Bai Wuji harbored contempt from the very beginning.
After all, there are two major realms of difference.
Although there are geniuses who can fight beyond their level, the father and son have the same spiritual root color and are both fire spiritual roots.
This proves that their qualifications are similar.
Moreover, Bai Hao had previously demonstrated the Thunder Phoenix Fire Slash in front of them after he mastered it.
Although its power is considerable, he can easily break it.
Even with the help of a top-grade spiritual artifact, the power of the spiritual technique might only increase two or three times, at most.
They are not his match yet.
but……
Bai Wuji's clothes were burned to shreds, especially the sleeve on his right arm, which had completely burst open.
Several cuts crisscrossed his arm, from which bright red blood flowed.
It looks a bit scary.
Bai Hao stood there, pale-faced, leaning on his sword, panting heavily.
The moment he unleashed the Thunder Phoenix Fire Slash, all his spiritual energy was instantly drained by the Purple Thunder and Blazing Fire Nine-Ring Blade.
If it weren't for this knife, he would have collapsed to the ground long ago.
"Although the sect leader was careless, the accompanying spiritual techniques and artifacts are indeed quite powerful, and fighting across a realm is no problem," Niu Shanming nodded and said.
"However, it's best not to use it unless it's absolutely necessary," Bai Wenyuan said. "Given Hao'er's current condition, he can only use it once, even if he goes all out."
Yuexi stepped forward, releasing spiritual energy from her fingertips, and a soft white light fell on Bai Wuji's wound.
The wound, which had been bleeding profusely, healed quickly.
Not even a scar was left.
"The sect leader's wife has a healing-type light spirit root?" Niu Shanming asked in surprise.
Light-elemental spirits are extremely rare.
One in a million might not even be one.
Moreover, cultivating this kind of purely auxiliary healing spiritual root is extremely difficult.
It requires a massive amount of resources.
Ordinary families can't afford to raise them.
However, the Han family, one of the eight great families in the Central Continent, has direct descendants who all possess this rare light spiritual root.
Could she be a member of the Han family?
However, the Han family has always been proud and arrogant, and they don't even respect the Qin family, the head of the eight great families. So how could they let a direct descendant marry into the barren Southern Wilderness?
“I am indeed a member of the Han family, but I am not a direct descendant.” Yuexi pursed her lips and said, “My father is a collateral son of the Han family.”
"So how did you survive?" Niu Shanming asked.
He was also from the Central Continent of the Fallen Clan, so he knew quite a bit about the Han family.
If a member of the direct lineage does not possess a light spiritual root, they will be executed on the spot.
Regardless of whether one is good or bad at aptitude.
This was to ensure that the direct line of the Han family would always hold absolute dominance within the Han family.
Niu Shanming was very disdainful of the Han family's actions.
Upon hearing this, a strong sense of hatred surfaced in Yuexi's usually gentle and indifferent eyes.
The fingers beneath the sleeves were clenched tightly.
“It was my father and mother who risked their lives to protect me, which allowed me to escape. Later, I traveled to the Southern Wilderness Continent and met Wuji.”
Bai Wuji held Yuexi's hand and said affectionately, "You have me now, and the children..."
“Sect Leader Bai is right. You now have a husband and children, and your daughter is above the immortal level. Your parents’ spirits in heaven will rest in peace,” Niu Yunxiao said.
"The Han family will regret this," Wukong said with certainty.
"That's right, just the Han family. We'll wipe them all out later." The Bull Demon King patted his chest with his hoof and said.
"Mother, we will definitely go to the Han family in the future to seek justice for our maternal grandparents," Bai Hao and his six brothers also declared.
The hatred in Yuexi's eyes gradually faded away amidst everyone's care and concern.
His gaze softened and became serene again.
There was also a hint of determination: "I will return to the Han family sooner or later to avenge my parents."
Meanwhile, Yun Zhan and his group...
After leaving the Star Moon Sect, Liu Peng wanted to speak, but considering the risk of being overheard outside, he kept quiet.
They held back until the Cloud Auction House.
"Young clan leader, the Star Moon Sect is no simple sect. We must win them over and not offend them." Liu Peng finally blurted out what he had been holding back all the way.
“Miss Bai is no ordinary person,” Yun Zhan said. “What merit or ability does our Yun family have to try and win her over? We’d have to suck up to her!”
Liu Peng was immediately terrified: "Little, little clan leader, you, you..."
“The young clan leader is right, that Miss Bai is definitely above the immortal level.” Yun Yan’s voice was still unable to calm down.
"What, what's going on? Did I miss something?" Liu Peng asked, puzzled.
“Your level of understanding is low, so it’s understandable that you don’t understand,” Yun Yan said.
Liu Peng pursed his lips, thankfully not uttering what was on his mind.
The young clan leader's cultivation level is even lower; he doesn't even have a spiritual root. How could he possibly understand it?
“That Miss Bai, every move she makes is accompanied by three thousand Heavenly Dao Laws,” Yun Zhan said.
He concealed the laws of the Great Dao.
There's no need to say it aloud, because people in this world may not know the Great Way.
"The Three Thousand Laws?" Liu Peng jumped up in surprise.
"Bring me the Transmission Stone. I need to tell Grandpa immediately so they can attend the pilgrimage ceremony a month from now," Yun Zhan said.
"The...the pilgrimage ceremony..." Liu Peng's voice trembled, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
The prestigious Yun family of Zhongzhou, would they really want to pay homage to people from the Southern Wilderness Continent?
He had been thinking of having a serious talk with the young clan leader, and that he must do everything he could to win over the Star Moon Sect. Even if he couldn't win them over, he couldn't afford to become enemies.
So, he was the clown all along.
Yun Zhan quickly contacted Yun Yue using the teleportation stone.
"We've arrived in Tianyuan City so quickly?" Yun Yue was drinking a cup of spiritual tea, his smile kind and serene.
He had originally thought that since Yun Zhan rarely left Zhongzhou, he would definitely have a good time in Sheng'an City for two days before going to Tianyuan City.
"There was a problem with the teleportation, and we landed on the Canglan Sea, where we happened to run into Elder Bai of the Xingyue Sect and two seniors from the Taiji Shenluo Clan."
Yun Zhan first told Yun Yue everything that had happened on the Canglan Sea.
Yun Yue went from being calm at the beginning to getting so excited that he crushed the teacup in his hand.
"A Heavenly Grade Spirit Boat, seven major formations..." A fiery glint ignited in Yun Yue's eyes: "And a Heavenly Grade Fishing Net..."
However, this initial enthusiasm quickly faded.
As soon as this thought arose, he felt a sudden unease.
It was exactly the same as the time when they coveted the Star Moon Sect's high-grade spirit stones.
“I advise my grandfather not to have any such thoughts,” Yun Zhan said. “The Star Moon Sect has an Immortal overseeing it.”
"What, above the Immortal Realm?" Yun Yue stood up abruptly, his spiritual energy surging around him, and the stone table and chairs beside him turned to ashes with a bang.
"Yes, above the Immortal Realm!" Yun Zhan nodded affirmatively, and then recounted the events of the barbecue banquet in detail.
“I’ll go prepare the worship ceremony right away, and we’ll set off for the Southern Wilderness tomorrow,” Yun Yue said without hesitation.
