Chapter 556: Chapter 555 Terror
Moreover, the coldness of this place was simply too terrifying!
"Hmm?"
Just as Bai Ling was heading towards Tian Wu City, her steps suddenly came to a halt!
She saw a long corridor appearing before her eyes!
On this corridor were all sorts of formation arrays.
And the power of those arrays was obviously extremely frightening!
"This place should be where my physical body resides."
Thinking this, Bai Ling didn’t hesitate and walked forward.
...
Inside Tian Wu Hall.
Bai Haotian was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion, quietly cultivating.
Suddenly, a familiar silhouette appeared at the entrance of the hall.
"Hmm? Ling’er, why have you come?" Bai Haotian opened his eyes to see Bai Ling standing at the entrance of the hall and immediately got up from the cushion.
"Daddy, have you been well these past years?" Bai Ling asked with concern, looking at her father.
"Don’t worry, Ling’er, I’ve been quite well," Bai Haotian said with a smile.
Then, he glanced at the maids around the hall.
Seeing the maids retreat, Bai Ling approached him.
"Ling’er, speak frankly, is there something you need?" Bai Haotian asked.
"Yes, I have indeed come to see you today for a matter," Bai Ling nodded.
Hearing her words, Bai Haotian said, "Just say it, Ling’er, do we as father and daughter need to beat around the bush?"
"Very well, since daddy says so, I’ll speak plainly."
Bai Ling nodded and then said, "Daddy, do you know? In these years, my cultivation has also improved a lot, reaching the early stage of the Spirit King Realm. I’m not sure if you are aware that during this time, a force known as the Blood Demon Sect wants to deal with me and even sent an elder at the Spirit Emperor level."
After finishing her speech, Bai Ling looked at Bai Haotian, waiting for his reaction.
"The Blood Demon Sect? Why would they target you?"
Bai Haotian’s expression became grave.
He had heard of the Blood Demon Sect’s name.
The Blood Demon Sect was the highest-ranked among the three sects in the entire northwestern region and the only one among the three great sects with a powerhouse of the Spirit Venerable Realm in residence!
"Because I once defeated the young master of the Blood Demon Sect, they’ve harbored a grudge and seek revenge," Bai Ling explained.
Upon hearing this, a look of worry flashed across Bai Haotian’s brows.
"It seems that the Blood Demon Sect is indeed persistent."
Bai Ling nodded in agreement, "Yes, I also didn’t expect that my strength would be detected by them so soon."
"The power of the Blood Demon Sect is indeed very terrifying, and behind them, there’s a mysterious force that’s also pursuing me."
"A mysterious force?" Hearing this, Bai Haotian’s face suddenly changed drastically.
He had never imagined that the Blood Demon Sect’s backing would be so profound!
Seeing his reaction, Bai Ling quickly explained, "Daddy, these past years, although I don’t know exactly what this mysterious force is, I can affirm that their strength is absolutely formidable!
Even more so, their power exceeds that of the Saint Yuan Nation!
That’s why I chose to hide in the Eastern Waste Forest rather than return to Tian Xuan City!
But with the Blood Demon Sect’s formidable strength, I fear they will definitely ascertain my whereabouts!"
"I see," Bai Haotian nodded.
"Daddy, could you help me refine the Tianxuan Dan?" Bai Ling inquired.
After a moment of silence, Bai Haotian nodded.
"Of course, I can heal your body."
"Thank you, daddy." Hearing this, Bai Ling immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"There’s no need for pleasantries between us; after all, the Blood Demon Sect’s influence is not so easily provoked, and one must not underestimate them," Bai Haotian shook his head and said.
"Don’t worry, daddy, I will find a way to make that mysterious force withdraw, knowing the difficulty," Bai Ling said with a smile.
...
At the same time, in a dense forest outside of Tian Wu City, several fierce beasts were eyeing Bai Ling with covetous eyes.
And behind those fierce beasts, stood four or five men.
These men, all towering in stature, were clad in blood-red robes with Blood Jade Crowns on their heads, exuding a thick aura of malevolence!
They were none other than the four great elders of the Blood Demon Sect!
These four great elders were all at the level of the Spirit King Realm.
"Fourth brother, this time, we must capture that little girl and avenge our elder brother!" one burly man said in a booming voice.
"Hmph, that wench is truly detestable, daring to injure our young master. This time, I will tear her to pieces!" another elder roared in anger.
"Exactly, that girl is too arrogant, utterly lawless!"
At this moment, all four great elders were burning with rage.
Bai Ling had injured their young master and stolen their Sky Dragon Fruit, a matter that, if it reached the ears of the Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, would surely not be taken lightly!
Thinking of this, they could hardly restrain themselves from bursting out of the dense forest to capture Bai Ling!
However, their target was not Bai Ling, but Bai Ling’s parents!
They wanted to make the Bai family taste the pain of losing their loved ones!
...
Tian Wu City was hundreds of kilometers away from the estate where Bai Ling and her family lived!
It had taken them more than a month to travel back to this place.
On their journey back to Tian Wu City, the four great elders were secretly hoping to catch Bai Ling sooner rather than later.
But their luck was really not that great!
These four, just as they descended outside the city gate of Tian Wu City, encountered a group of people blocking their way.
"The four great elders, you’ve finally arrived."
Bai Haotian and Bai Linglong stood together, looking at the few elders from the Blood Demon Sect, a cold smile appearing on Bai Haotian’s face.
Bai Haotian was a powerhouse at the peak of the demi-god realm, his strength a notch above Bai Ling’s.
And the guards of the Bai family by his side were all at the Spirit Emperor Realm.
The guards of the Bai family were elites, each with an astonishing combat prowess.
Therefore, they did not fear these great elders of the Blood Demon Sect, who were at the peak of the Spirit Emperor Realm.
"Hmph! Bai Haotian, you won’t be able to escape this time!" the leading elder said with a sneer, "Be smart and hand over the Sky Dragon Fruit!"
"Do you think that’s possible?" said Bai Haotian indifferently.
"Bai Haotian, I would advise you to eat your drink and not to force us to drink our punishment! Today, even if you grew wings, you couldn’t escape. Besides, what would it matter even if you did manage to flee?"
"Do you think you could escape?"
"Hehe, whose territory do you think this Tian Wu City is? Mine?" The leading elder said with a smirk at the corner of his mouth.
"This is Tian Wu City, the royal family’s domain. You are truly courting death."
"The royal family’s domain?" Bai Haotian’s lips curved into a cold arc as he said indifferently, "Since you already know that you are courting death, then let me send you to hell!"
"Kill!"
Bai Haotian, holding a treasure sword, swung it fiercely, and the guards of the Bai family sprang into action, attacking the four elders of the Blood Demon Sect.
"Court death!"
Seeing Bai Ling and the others refuse to see reason, the leading elder of the Blood Demon Sect let out a cold shout and launched the first strike.
"Whoosh!"
A streak of blood flashed by, his speed was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared in front of Bai Ling. In his right hand, he held a blood-colored long knife and fiercely slashed out.
This strike was mighty powerful!
"Boom!"
The blade’s light tore through the void, bringing a chilling storm, like a ferocious python, biting towards Bai Ling!
Faced with this terrifying strike, Bai Ling remained calm and collected, merely stretching out her right hand and gently patting towards the front.
Suddenly, a burst of flames appeared around the blade’s light, turning into a wall of fire, blocking the knife’s attack.
"Bang!"
The knife’s light collided with the wall of fire, exploding on impact, sending a terrible wave sweeping over the entire Bai mansion.
Bai Ling remained unmoved, while on the other hand, the four great elders were blown away, each crashing to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
"Damn it!"
"This young girl is so formidable?"
Seeing themselves defeated, the faces of the four elders were filled with shock.
"Hahaha!"
