Chapter 166 Mind-Controlling Demonic Sound
The farce that happened at the Bai family today is destined to go unnoticed, but the departure of some members of the Bai family from Guiling City has still attracted attention.
The undercurrents seemed to be surging even more violently; if one wasn't careful, even the three major families in the city could be wiped out!
The one-month deadline arrived as scheduled.
October.
The summer heat has subsided somewhat, but the lingering effects of high temperatures remain, and the nights are much longer than the days this season.
The full moon hangs high in the sky tonight, dispelling some of the darkness.
The autumn wind was bleak, causing the bamboo forest to rustle, and a gloomy atmosphere seemed to shroud the entire Guiling City in the darkness.
Until a huge fire destroyed everything.
"Something terrible has happened! Something terrible has occurred!"
Guiling City Lord's Mansion.
Wang Yu changed into a more mature dark blue belted and narrow-sleeved robe, over which he wore a light gray casual robe that reached the ground, giving him an air of authority and solemnity.
Her snow-white silver hair was gathered at the back of her head with a red ribbon.
Under the moonlight, the young man held a black flute, and it seemed that dark, murmuring sounds were escaping from the flute's hollow holes, sometimes melodious and pleasant, sometimes mournful and unpleasant.
The ethereal music was melodious, while the demonic music was deafening.
It seems to switch between two extremes, making one feel flushed at times and lonely at others, with fluctuating emotions, making it extremely easy to get lost in the notes.
It was after Wang Yu broke through his spiritual realm that he began to practice the Mind Control Demonic Sound with even greater ease.
The one who rushed over rashly was Xiangxiang, one of only two Foundation Establishment cultivators in Yunmeng Pavilion.
"Lord, Lord! A fire dragon is burning the granary... outside."
Speak slowly.
Wang Yu raised his hand in a gesture of respect, and Xiangxiang, who was about to bow, suddenly straightened up. She looked at him with her cheeks flushed, and after a moment of distraction, she quickly realized what was happening and spoke with a hint of annoyance.
"The Bai family is shameless. They promised to deliver the spirit stones they were supposed to pay today, but then a fire dragon burned down their granary at this crucial moment, and the Bai family's accounting office was completely destroyed."
"The entire front yard has been turned into a wasteland. They said that the weather is not on your side, and there is nothing they can do but wait until the next five years to pay the spirit stones."
The fire dragon burned down the granary, burning away all the old debts of the past.
No one can calculate how many spirit stones the Bai family earned in the past five years to avoid taxes. From a purely strategic point of view, their choice was actually correct.
But what he shouldn't have done was underestimate Wang Yu's vengeful nature.
He gave the Bai family a chance, but they treated him so cruelly. Since that's the case, he has no reason to show mercy.
After a pause, seeing that Xiangxiang didn't continue, he took the initiative to ask, "Besides the Bai family, whose granaries were burned down by the fire dragon?"
"this--"
"When I arrived, there seemed to be a lot of people gathered at the Guan family mansion, but the commotion wasn't this big. There was no movement from the Jiang family."
"Very well, I'll go out for a bit."
"Get...out?"
Xiangxiang was a little confused and asked in bewilderment.
Aren't you afraid they'll attack you?
"Hahaha, scared? Have you forgotten where you are? In Guiling City, those three families should be begging me to stay safe, not trying to kill me."
After saying that, Wang Yu's figure disappeared into the air.
Xiangxiang stood there, frowning in deep thought, as if she had figured out the cause-and-effect logic behind it.
He was powerless to deal with the three factions outside the city, so he granted them considerable power as a temporary measure.
He could act ruthlessly against the three clans within the city, but they dared not actually kill him. Otherwise, with the arrival of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect's purge team, Guiling City could be rebuilt.
"So that's how it is!"
…………

Bai Family Mansion.
As one of the three clans of Guiling, the Bai family occupies half of the entire southern district, with more than a thousand Qi Refining cultivators who can be considered full-time practitioners.
Besides the patriarch, there are six Foundation Establishment cultivators.
The patriarch is dead, leaving five members. The eldest elder is at the ninth level of Foundation Establishment, the second elder at the seventh level, the third elder at the sixth level, and the two at the third level are of the middle generation and have not yet been included in the ranks of the family elders.
The further down the line, the younger the age; as for the new generation, no Foundation Establishment cultivators have yet appeared.
At this moment, looking at the front yard burned to the ground, the Grand Elder finally sent people to put out the fire, and said disdainfully.
"You greenhorn, you think you can fight the Bai family all by yourself?"
The other elders all seconded the motion.
"Elder's plan is brilliant! If we don't teach him a lesson, people will think our Bai family is weak and cowardly. After today, let's see who dares to gossip!"
"That is absolutely right, that is absolutely right, it should be so."
“My Bai family is the head of the three Guiling families. Why should we listen to an outsider like him?”
Many members of the Bai family were also gathered in the crowd. Some of them felt uneasy when they recalled that the third branch of the Bai family had recently left the city and returned to their ancestral home to live in seclusion.
Further out, on the main road wide enough for twelve carriages to pass side by side, many cultivators stood watching the spectacle. People sat and watched the show at the entrances of shops, on pavilions, and even on rooftops.
Inside the mansion.
The eldest elder of the Bai family gave his clansmen a deep look.
Although he made a fatal mistake by saying "I have a plan," he was not actually a completely clueless naive young man.
Sending the ancestor away is both a power grab and a way to preserve a bloodline for the Bai family.
He knew that Wang Yu could not die in Guiling City.
Otherwise, the entire Bai family would be held responsible and would inevitably be implicated.
But he can't die, we can capture him! As long as this person is imprisoned, the Bai family can obtain the true city lord's token of Guiling City, with his local base and the assistance of Huangquan Temple.
As long as the tribute is paid on time, the Bai family's power will expand to an unprecedented level.
Therefore, his plan to burn the warehouse with fire was also intended to lure Wang Yu out of the city lord's mansion.
The Tuoba family was able to occupy the city lord's mansion for a hundred years without any problems, so he didn't believe that the Bai family couldn't hide it from the Holy Emperor. If it really came down to a critical moment, it was also possible to completely side with the Yellow Springs Temple.
After all, Guiling City is located at the easternmost part of Yunling Prefecture, and is very close to Youzhou, which belongs to Huangquan Temple, so the boundary is not very clear.
It's common for me to swallow a few inches of your land today and a few inches of your land tomorrow.
certainly.
Thinking about these things now is too far ahead. The Grand Elder shook his head and fully dispersed his divine sense, remaining vigilant for Wang Yu's arrival.
As time passed, the crowd gradually dispersed, unable to understand what the Bai family was up to.
Some clever people have already left this place, fearing that they might be splattered with blood.
Midnight.
At the time when the yin energy between heaven and earth is at its heaviest, the moon rises above the branches, and the bamboo shadows sway gently.
The three elders and two middle-aged men of the Bai family remained in the courtyard, waiting for the right moment. The younger members of the clan had already returned to their rooms to rest, and even the chirping of insects had disappeared in the quiet night.
The signs of an impending storm are becoming increasingly clear.
"Waaah—"
The ethereal flute music seemed to come from nowhere, and the eldest elder of the Bai family paced back and forth in the pavilion in agitation, making the other elders dizzy as well.
"Elder, what's the rush?"
"Yes, whether that kid comes or not, we can still achieve our goal. There's no use in being impatient."
"snort."
As the elder flicked his sleeve, he realized that his mind was not calm enough. He was about to sit down when he started to worry about the future of the Bai family and could only keep comforting himself.
This is an open strategy, and it's bound to succeed!
Halfway through midnight, the Bai family mansion, where the ever-burning lamps were lit, suddenly began to rustle.
Shadows could be seen peeking through the window frame.
It revealed a hint of eeriness.
"Waaah—"
The ethereal flute melody seemed to be approaching, growing clearer and clearer.
"What happened?"
Even with their nerves relaxed, the elders sensed something was wrong. Suddenly, the Third Elder shouted towards a dark corner:
"Xuan'er, is that you? Why are you still wandering around outside so late?"
In the darkness.
A young man dressed in fine clothes revealed a sinister smile, his eyes glowing with a bloodthirsty red light, his grinning mouth smeared with blood, and there seemed to be bits of meat stuck between his teeth.
The elders present were all at the Foundation Establishment stage, and could usually see in the dark. Upon seeing this, they all broke out in a cold sweat.
"Bai Xuan is acting strangely, quickly look behind him!"
The eldest elder of the Bai family took a step forward and instantly appeared behind Bai Xuan. He slapped Bai Xuan unconscious and walked to the corner to pull his legs out of the darkness.
In an instant.
Everyone's expression changed.
"This...this is...Meng'er!"
The elder pulled out a remarkable young talent from the Bai family, a genius with three spiritual roots named Bai Meng. However, her beautiful face was now deathly pale.
A slit was opened between his chest and abdomen, and all his internal organs disappeared.
The Third Elder staggered and nearly fainted.
She pointed at Bai Xuan, her fingers trembling.
“His…his mouth…his stomach.”
"Giggle~"
Several crows flew across the sky, casting an ominous shadow over everyone's hearts. The face of the Bai family's eldest elder was so gloomy it seemed to drip water.
"Wang Yu, this is definitely Wang Yu's doing!"
"Damn it, they actually targeted the younger generation."
In fact, Wang is also a member of the younger generation, but no one here will speak up for him. If they did, it would become a laughing stock.
"Quickly, you two go and check on the situation of the clan's disciples."
"Third Elder, Second Elder, go and activate the clan's formation. Make sure he doesn't escape; capture him alive!"
"yes--"
Everyone readily accepted the order and quickly sprang into action.
The Grand Elder then soared into the night sky, his sinister gaze sweeping over every building in the clan, attempting to use his powerful divine sense to locate Wang Yu.
However.
With the double concealment of invisibility and breathlessness spell, Wang Yu, who has been thinking about how to hide since he embarked on the path of cultivation, is someone even a Core Formation cultivator might not be able to catch.
Time passed second by second, and he could sense that the auras of many clan members had disappeared, but once he chased after them, he could only see scenes of fratricide.
It is still the most bizarre and terrifying way to die from cannibalism!
One person eats while remaining motionless, like a piece of wood, allowing his former tribesmen to devour him, until death approaches, at which point the blankness in his eyes turns into terror.
This is a classic case of the barefoot not fearing those wearing shoes; the Grand Elder was filled with regret.
He had calculated everything, but he forgot to figure out Wang Yu's character, which had already begun to emerge when the other party first arrived in Guiling City.
He simply overlooked it.
"No...no...you can't do this to me!"
Just as his eyes were bloodshot and he was on the verge of madness, the voice he had been longing for finally appeared in his ears like heavenly music.
"oh--
"Do you have something to say?"
