Although the Bai Family was one of the foremost martial arts families in Cloud City.
Compared to behemoths like the military and the Martial Alliance, they were a joke!
Moreover, the other side already had clear evidence...
This charge... was bound to stick.
It's just that...
Bai Mo, as the most talented person among the younger generation of the Bai Family, and even hailed as the "Bai Family's Qilin Son" by his grandfather, Bai Yunfeng was unwilling to see anything happen to Bai Mo!
For a moment, Bai Yunfeng's mind began to race.
"Father..."
At this moment, Bai Mo's father couldn't help but look at Bai Yunfeng, his eyes filled with a hint of pleading.
"Mo'er is your own grandson!"
Hearing these words, Bai Yunfeng sighed inwardly.
As Bai Mo's father had said, Bai Mo was, after all, his own grandson.
With this thought, Bai Yunfeng had no choice but to swallow his pride and bow to Commander Chen and Alliance Leader Yun.
"Gentlemen, can this matter be dropped, considering my past contributions to Great Xia in fighting and killing many alien demons?"
Bai Yunfeng said in a deep voice.
As a Viscera Refining Realm martial artist, Bai Yunfeng had also gone to the Alien Demon Battlefield in his youth, hunting alien demons and guarding the human defense line.
In Bai Yunfeng's opinion, his contributions to Great Xia were enough to resolve this crisis.
However, listening to Bai Yunfeng's words, Commander Chen remained expressionless, while Alliance Leader Yun wore a half-smile.
"Old Master Bai, you don't need to say these things to us!"
"We are here today for only one matter!"
With that, Alliance Leader Yun looked at Commander Chen beside him.
Commander Chen waved his hand, and instantly a token appeared in his hand.
On the token, a pattern was engraved.
The pattern depicted countless alien demons, as if they were about to destroy the entire world.
Beneath the alien demons, however, stood an extremely ancient city, quietly enduring between heaven and earth, as if it had become a defensive line against the alien demons.
On the back of the token, two characters were imprinted in a vigorous calligraphy.
"Demon Slaying!"
"This is..."
The moment Bai Yunfeng saw this token, his aged eyes suddenly narrowed, as if he had seen something astonishing.
"The Demon Slaying Token!!!"
Instantly, waves of shock surged through Bai Yunfeng's mind.
"This, this..."
To the point that Bai Yunfeng began to stammer at this moment.
Slap!!
Suddenly, a crisp slapping sound rang out.
Bai Yunfeng slapped Bai Mo, his entire face contorting in ferocity.
"You, you, you, what exactly did you do!!!"
Bai Yunfeng roared almost hysterically.
"Dad!!"
Seeing this, Bai Mo's father immediately hugged Bai Yunfeng, who was in a rage. Although he didn't quite understand why Bai Yunfeng was so furious, Bai Mo was his son after all, and he had to protect him to some extent.
Bai Mo's cheek instantly turned red and swollen. He stood there blankly, his eyes completely dazed.
He didn't understand why his grandfather, who had been praising him moments ago, had suddenly become so enraged.
"You beast! You are simply a beast!!"
Bai Yunfeng stared intently at Bai Mo. If Bai Mo's father hadn't held him back, he might have rushed forward to teach Bai Mo a lesson again.
"Father, please calm down. At least let Mo'er explain!"
Bai Mo's father held Bai Yunfeng back, preventing him from acting.
Bai Yunfeng's chest heaved continuously. Although he didn't know why the Demon Slaying Token had appeared here, it was clear that Bai Mo's actions had provoked someone he shouldn't have!
"I'll say it..."
At this moment, a low voice slowly sounded.
Commander Chen calmly looked at the Bai Family members in the hall, his voice like heavy hammers striking their hearts.
"Have you had enough of this commotion?"
"If you've had enough, then it's time to do things according to the rules!"
Commander Chen spoke indifferently.
"Demon Slaying Token!"
"Bai Mo of Cloud City assassinated a Martial Artist. From this moment on, the Bai Family's title as a martial arts family is revoked, all contributions are erased. Effective immediately, Bai Yunfeng of the Bai Family, along with ten Meridian Opening Realm Martial Artists and fifty Blood Refining Realm Martial Artists from the Bai Family, shall immediately proceed to Demon Slaying City to defend it for twenty years!"
"Only after twenty years can you return!!"
With that, Commander Chen slowly put away the token engraved with the words "Demon Slaying."
He calmly swept his gaze over Bai Yunfeng, whose face had turned ashen, and said softly.
"Old Man Bai, you have only two days. If you cannot reach Demon Slaying City within two days, the military will issue a Great Xia kill order!"
"You should… look out for yourself!"
After speaking, Commander Chen and Alliance Leader Yun left the Bai Family without looking back.
Only Bai Yunfeng remained, sitting in his chair in a daze. Bai Mo and his parents, still somewhat confused about the situation, were beside him.
"It's over!"
"My Bai Family is finished!!!"
Bai Yunfeng suddenly cried out in despair.
At this point, even Bai Mo's father, who was still unclear about the situation, could sense something unusual.
"Father… this…"
Bai Mo's father's expression was grim.
Bai Yunfeng glanced at his son's face, then finally settled on Bai Mo. He extended his aged finger, pointing at Bai Mo, trembling uncontrollably.
He wanted to say something, but ultimately closed his eyes in pain.
"Enough, enough. My son, gather everyone from the Bai Family. We must leave for Demon Slaying City immediately, otherwise… the Bai Family will truly be finished!"
"As for Mo'er… from now on, you are the only one left in the Bai Family in Cloud City. You… must look out for yourself!"
With that, Bai Yunfeng staggered out of the hall as if his soul had left him.
Bai Mo watched Bai Yunfeng's departure and recalled Commander Chen's earlier words. His face turned deathly pale.
He lowered his head, his fists clenched tightly, and a venomous glint appeared in his eyes.
"Lu Sheng!! It's you again!!!"
Bai Mo roared, his expression becoming utterly ferocious at that moment.
How could he not know that the current predicament of the Bai Family was inextricably linked to Lu Sheng!!
"If I don't kill you, I can never quell this hatred in my heart!!!"
Bai Mo's body trembled incessantly, his cries hysterical.
It was fortunate that Bai Mo's parents were already in a state of panic from Bai Yunfeng's words and didn't notice Bai Mo's condition.
Otherwise, they would have surely snapped Bai Mo out of it.
Soon, the members of the Bai Family were gathered and left with Bai Yunfeng.
In the vast courtyard, only Bai Mo remained, standing alone.
With only his Blood Qi Realm cultivation, he had, ironically, escaped this punishment!
