Demon Slaying Token!

Although the Bai Family was one of the foremost Martial Arts Families in Cloud City.

When faced with behemoths like the Military and the Martial Alliance, however, they were nothing but a joke!

Moreover, the other side already had solid evidence...

This charge... was bound to be laid upon them.

Only...

Bai Mo was the most gifted among the Bai Family's younger generation, even personally proclaimed by him as the Bai Family's qilin child.

Bai Yunfeng was unwilling to see anything happen to Bai Mo!

For a moment, Bai Yunfeng's mind began racing at breakneck speed.

"Father..."

At this moment, Bai Mo's father could not help looking toward Bai Yunfeng, a trace of pleading in his eyes.

"Mo'er is your own grandson!"

Hearing this, Bai Yunfeng sighed softly to himself.

Just as Bai Mo's father had said, Bai Mo was his own grandson after all.

Thinking of this, Bai Yunfeng had no choice but to swallow his pride and bow to Commander Chen and Alliance Leader Yun.

"You two, for the sake of this old man having fought for Great Xia in the past and slain quite a few Demons... could this matter be let go?"

Bai Yunfeng spoke in a deep voice.

As a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist, Bai Yunfeng had gone to the Alien Demon Battlefield in his youth, hunting Demons and defending humanity's line of defense.

In Bai Yunfeng's eyes, his contributions to Great Xia should have been enough to resolve this crisis.

Yet upon hearing Bai Yunfeng's words, Commander Chen remained expressionless, while Alliance Leader Yun wore a faint smile that was not quite a smile.

"Old Master Bai, there's no need to say such things to us!"

"We came here today for only one matter!"

With that, Alliance Leader Yun looked at Commander Chen beside him.

Commander Chen waved his hand, and a token instantly appeared in his palm.

Engraved upon the token was an image.

Within the image, Demons stood in endless ranks, seeming as though they would destroy heaven and earth themselves.

Beneath the Demons stood an exceedingly ancient city, quietly towering between heaven and earth, as though it had become a line of defense blocking the Demons.

On the reverse side of the token, two characters were inscribed in bold, sweeping strokes.

"Demon Slaying!"

"This is..."

The instant Bai Yunfeng saw the token, his aged pupils abruptly contracted, as if he had seen something utterly earth-shattering.

"The Demon Slaying Token!!!"

In an instant, stormy waves surged through Bai Yunfeng's mind.

"Th-this..."

At this moment, Bai Yunfeng was so shaken that even his speech became stuttered.

Slap!!

All of a sudden, a crisp slap rang out.

Bai Yunfeng struck Bai Mo across the face, his entire expression turning somewhat savage.

"Y-you... what exactly did you do?!!!"

Bai Yunfeng nearly roared hysterically.

"Father!!"

Seeing this, Bai Mo's father immediately held back Bai Yunfeng in his fury. Though he did not understand why Bai Yunfeng was so enraged, Bai Mo was his son after all, and he had to shield him to some extent.

Bai Mo's cheek instantly swelled red. He stood there blankly, his eyes utterly vacant.

He did not understand why his grandfather, who had just been praising him to the skies, had suddenly flown into a rage.

"You beast! You are simply a beast!!"

Bai Yunfeng stared fixedly at Bai Mo. If Bai Mo's father had not held him back, he might have rushed over to give Bai Mo another thorough beating.

"Father, calm your anger. At least let Mo'er explain himself!"

Bai Mo's father held Bai Yunfeng tightly, stopping him from making a move.

Bai Yunfeng's chest heaved continuously. Though he did not know why the Demon Slaying Token had appeared here, it was obvious that what Bai Mo had done had provoked someone he should never have provoked!

"I say..."

At this moment, a low voice slowly rang out.

Commander Chen looked calmly at the members of the Bai Family in the hall, his voice like a heavy hammer striking their hearts.

"Have you made enough of a scene?"

"If you're done, then it's time to handle this according to the rules!"

Commander Chen spoke calmly.

"Order of Demon Slaying City!"

"Bai Mo of the Bai Family of Cloud City plotted to assassinate a martial artist. From this day forth, the Bai Family shall be stripped of its title as a Martial Arts Family, and all contributions shall be erased. Effective immediately, Bai Yunfeng of the Bai Family shall lead ten Meridian Opening Realm martial artists and fifty Blood Refining Realm martial artists to Demon Slaying City at once, where they will guard Demon Slaying City for twenty years!"

"Only after twenty years may they return!!"

Having said that, Commander Chen slowly put away the token inscribed with the words "Demon Slaying."

His calm gaze swept over Bai Yunfeng, whose face had turned as white as paper, and he said indifferently.

"Old Master Bai, you have only two days. If you cannot reach Demon Slaying City within two days, the Military will issue Great Xia's universal kill order!"

"You... had best take care of yourself!"

With that, Commander Chen and Alliance Leader Yun left the Bai Family without looking back.

Only Bai Yunfeng remained, sitting dazedly in his chair, while Bai Mo and his parents still had no idea what was happening.

"It's over!"

"My Bai Family is finished!!!"

Bai Yunfeng suddenly let out a miserable cry.

At this moment, no matter how unclear Bai Mo's father was about the situation, he could still smell that something was deeply amiss.

"Father... this..."

Bai Mo's father's expression was ugly.

Bai Yunfeng swept his gaze across Bai Mo's father's face before finally letting it settle on Bai Mo. He stretched out an aged finger and pointed at Bai Mo, trembling uncontrollably.

He wanted to say something, but in the end, he only closed his eyes in pain.

"Enough, enough. Son, gather everyone in the Bai Family and follow me to Demon Slaying City at once. Otherwise... the Bai Family truly will be finished!"

"As for Mo'er... from now on, you will be the only one left of the Bai Family in Cloud City. You... take care of yourself!"

With that, Bai Yunfeng seemed to have lost his soul as he staggered out of the hall.

Watching Bai Yunfeng's state and recalling Chen Zhen's earlier words, Bai Mo's face turned deathly pale.

He lowered his head and clenched his fists, a venomous look surfacing in his eyes.

"Lu Sheng!! It's you again!!!"

Bai Mo growled, his entire face becoming incomparably twisted at that moment.

How could he not know that the Bai Family's current plight was absolutely linked to Lu Sheng by countless threads?

"If I don't kill you, I will never be able to erase this hatred in my heart!!!"

Bai Mo's body trembled continuously as he descended into hysteria.

It was only because Bai Mo's parents had been left utterly at a loss by Bai Yunfeng's words that they failed to notice Bai Mo's condition.

Otherwise, they would certainly have slapped Bai Mo awake.

Very soon, the Bai Family gathered together and left the Bai Family estate with Bai Yunfeng.

Within the vast courtyard, only Bai Mo remained, standing alone in the courtyard.

As someone only in the Blood Qi Realm, he had instead escaped this punishment!
