Chapter 1753: Chapter 1753: Bai Yi
Hall of the Nine Layers Mountain.
Military god Wei Wu watched Bai Yi leave, yet his face showed little joy, and he even sighed to himself, "Is chaos approaching?"
Throughout history, chaos breeds demons.
A commander emerging once in a century is not surprising, but their appearance in quick succession is unusual. Observing the history of Ancestor Dragon City, whenever commanders emerged frequently and stars of war shone like clouds, it always signaled the onset of chaos.
While Wei Wu was worrying, Bai Yi, who left the hall of Nine Layers Mountain, was warmly pulled aside by the second elder.
"As expected of the descendant of a military god, a rising talent of the Bai Family, truly a remarkable talent." Elder Xia Changhe looked at Bai Yi with a smile, a kindness in his eyes contrasted sharply with his demeanor towards Li Feng.
"Elder Xia, please don’t hold it against me for not becoming your disciple, it’s truly due to family rules...."
Bai Yi explained.
"Haha, I understand. With your aptitude and family heritage, even if you joined under me, there isn’t much more I could teach you."
"However, since you’ve come to the Nine Layers Mountain, as your uncle, I will naturally take care of you. Regarding your matter with the Personal Guard Camp, rest assured, all supplies will be prompt, and whatever you need, just ask, and I will ensure you get the best."
Bai Yi smiled knowingly, looked at Xia Changhe, and said, "Then I’ll trouble you, Uncle Xia."
"It’s just a small effort."
"Oh, right, among the four main camps of the Nine Layers Mountain, which one do you want to go to? Do you need me to give you a brief overview?"
Hearing this, Bai Yi said; "I did a bit of research before coming, so I plan to go to the Vermilion Bird Camp, and I hope Uncle Xia will support that decision."
"Vermilion Bird Camp."
Xia Changhe looked at Bai Yi thoughtfully: "Ah, young people are indeed ambitious, but that Li Feng is just a pile of mud, though he has some talent, it’s nothing much. It’s better not to act impulsively with someone like him."
Bai Yi smiled faintly and said to Xia Changhe: "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle. I don’t consider Li Feng as much. At most, he’s just a stepping stone for me, and a stepping stone should simply be stepped on."
Xia Changhe looked at the confident Bai Yi and laughed heartily: "Exactly, that’s all he’s good for."
"Alright, you can go to the Vermilion Bird Camp, but if you have any needs, come find me anytime. Don’t treat your uncle as an outsider."
"Yes, Uncle."
Meanwhile, at the Vermilion Bird Camp.
"I found out, the one who received a commander ranking through the Martial Strategy Hall is Bai Yi, from the Bai Family of the military god."
"Bai Yi."
Yue Shan and the others exchanged glances.
"I don’t seem to have heard of him. I do know a few from the Bai Family, like Bai Feng, Bai Lin, Bai Tong, but Bai Yi, I’ve really never heard of."
"Could he be a branch member of the Bai Family?"
Liang Hongying speculated.
"Possibly, the Bai Family is a thousand-year-old family, though in the last two hundred years they’ve declined significantly, even dropping to the rank of a second-class family, but their ancestors were once prominent, and I recall a Bai Family genius who was a former master here at Nine Layers Mountain, who still holds a respectable position in the Guard."
"Are you talking about Bai Ze? But Brother Bai Ze was a famous figure over ten years ago. Nowadays, at the Nine Layers Mountain, it’s just Bai Feng and Bai Lin left, and their strength is just about even with ours."
"Yes, one is in the White Tiger Camp, the other in the Azure Dragon Camp. It’s uncertain which camp Bai Yi will join."
Hu Feiqi said.
"He surely won’t come to our Vermilion Bird Camp, will he?" Peng Hai remarked.
"Don’t jinx it, Peng Hai."
Liang Hongying quickly spoke against it.
"It wouldn’t be surprising if Peng Hai guessed right. Bai Yi might just come to our Vermilion Bird Camp."
Xu Kaishan suddenly said.
"Why do you think so?"
Xu Kaishan shrugged and said, "Isn’t it obvious? Since Li Feng is here, the other will definitely come too; a match for a match, the sharpest swords against one another."
The others rolled their eyes.
"It’s a possibility."
While the group was discussing, suddenly the tent flap was lifted: "Not good, it seems Bai Yi is heading towards our Vermilion Bird Camp."
"He really is coming."
"Let’s go to the North Gate and have a look."
They took a deep breath. Although they expected the possibility of his arrival, seeing Bai Yi actually heading to the Vermilion Bird Camp, they were still a bit surprised.
It seems the Vermilion Bird Camp is about to witness a fierce confrontation.
Meanwhile, at the Flag Master Mansion.
Zhang Qiang rushed into the backyard in a bit of a panic: "Camp Master, I found out."
Li Feng looked up at Zhang Qiang: "No rush, catch your breath first."
Zhang Qiang steadied himself, thought for a moment, and then spoke: "Camp Master, that person is Bai Yi, from the Bai Family of the military god."
"The Bai Family once produced a military god, being one of the top ten military gods of Ancestor Dragon City. At its peak, they ranked at the top of the first-class families, but later the family’s descendants neglected their duties, leading to some decline, and now they are merely a second-class family."
"Still, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how decayed the Bai Family is, their foundation is there, especially since their ancestors produced a military god, which even had ties to the establishment of Nine Layers Mountain."
"This one is of noble heritage."
"Moreover, Bai Yi seems to have intentionally chosen our Vermilion Bird Camp; he might be coming directly for you, Camp Master."
"Bai Yi."
Li Feng muttered to himself, having no particular impression: "Hm, I understand."
"Camp Master, this person has a notable background and has specifically come to the Vermilion Bird Camp. He might come to the Flag Master Mansion any moment now."
This mountain cannot accommodate two tigers; a camp can have only one commander.
Now that Li Feng is the Flag Master, won’t Bai Yi compete? He certainly will. Otherwise, why did he choose the Vermilion Bird Camp?
Zhang Qiang bit his lip, looking at the seemingly unconcerned Li Feng: "Camp Master, it’s best to make preparations early."
Li Feng smiled mildly.
"Prepare for what? To give the opponent a deterrent or shut the door in his face?"
"Don’t forget, I’ve only stayed here for one night. Besides you guys, there’s probably no one else in this camp who will listen to me, let alone stand united against an enemy."
"So, stay calm. What will come will come. Just wait."
Li Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, Zhang Qiang realized it made sense. He wanted to give the opponent a warning, but considering the opponent’s background, it would be self-degrading.
"Li Feng didn’t come?"
At the North Gate of the Vermilion Bird Camp, Bai Yi looked around. While Li Feng might not have much impression of him, Bai Yi certainly has a deep impression of Li Feng. He saw Yue Shan and the others but dismissed them quickly, as he came solely for Li Feng.
Yue Shan and the others felt slightly annoyed, was this being ignored?
"Flag Master Li is at the Flag Master Mansion and did not come here."
"Oh, at the Flag Master Mansion? Who can lead the way in front?" Bai Yi said elegantly and serenely. Yet, to Yue Shan and the others, it sounded full of hostility.
