"Bai Yu, take this stone and run north. Run as far as you can." Bai Yuan handed the jet-black Diamond Crystal representing water to Bai Yu.
Bai Yu did not waste a moment. She turned and dashed out the door at full speed, sparing no spiritual power as she raced north.
If Sword Flight had not been too conspicuous, Bai Yu would have flown away on her sword directly, afraid of delaying her Master's plans.
Bai Yuan called the fox family over. "Su Yin, Su Yue, return to your true forms as well. Take these two stones and split up, heading west and south."
The male fox, Su Yin, froze for a moment. "Master, what about you? And what about Xiaoxiao?"
Bai Yuan's expression darkened. "Don't waste time. The two of you should not encounter any danger on the way. Su Xiaoxiao will stay here. I will keep her safe."
Su Yin and Su Yue did not dare hesitate after hearing that.
"Xiaoxiao, stay here and listen to Master. Your father and mother will be back soon."
Su Yin and Su Yue left. They both transformed into their true forms and ran off in separate directions.
The young girl with alluring fox eyes looked at Bai Yuan and asked, "Master, what are you having my parents do? Is this journey dangerous?"
Bai Yuan did not answer. He merely said, "Qiu'er, take Su Xiaoxiao upstairs. Leave everything else to your master."
With that, Bai Yuan walked out alone. A longsword appeared beneath his feet out of thin air, carrying him upward.
Without the cover of the towering trees around him, Bai Yuan immediately spotted the figures rushing toward him from all directions.
Bai Yuan raised the Five Elements Array Disk in his hand.
"Five Elements Primordial Chaos Array, rise!"
With a sharp cry, the Five Elements Array Disk in Bai Yuan's hand suddenly split apart, transforming into crimson, yellow, azure, white, and black beams of light that enveloped an area of one thousand meters.
"Not enough. This power is far from enough. System, exchange all Master Virtue Points for Spirit Recovery Pills."
"Ding! Exchange successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining 73 Spirit Recovery Pills."
A Spirit Recovery Pill cost one hundred Master Virtue Points and could help cultivators rapidly restore spiritual power. For a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Initial stage, one Spirit Recovery Pill was enough to completely restore their spiritual power.
Without another word, Bai Yuan raised his hand, and a Spirit Recovery Pill appeared. He swallowed it without hesitation.
Spiritual power rapidly surged through him, and Bai Yuan poured all of it into the Five Elements Primordial Chaos Array, enhancing the array's power.
Again and again, he injected spiritual power into the array. Bai Yuan ate Spirit Recovery Pills like candy, paying no heed to their effects on his body.
Finally, after Bai Yuan had taken nine Spirit Recovery Pills, an elderly man arrived first. He held a longsword, his beard and hair white as snow, his face as tender as a baby's, and he wore a spotless snow-white robe.
The old man's silver hair was neatly combed behind his back. Simply standing there gave off the feeling that all things beneath heaven and earth were subservient to him alone.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—nine Soul Rings rose around him, bringing an indescribable pressure.
"You are Bai Yuan, the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that rebuilt itself?" Sword Douluo Jian Chenxin asked coldly.
Standing atop his sword, Bai Yuan popped pills as he smiled lightly. "I am Bai Yuan, but I am not a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast that rebuilt itself."
For Bai Yuan right now, it was best to avoid fighting if possible. Wouldn't it be better to chat here for a while? He had shown himself only to draw their hatred, making it easier for Bai Yu and the others to deliver the three Array Bases farther away, so the Five Elements Array could gather a little more power.
Sword Douluo glanced at the other figures rapidly approaching from around them and said coldly, "Bai Yuan, I have no mood to discuss this with you. Hand Rongrong over yourself, or don't blame my sword for showing no mercy."
Bai Yuan smiled. "No mercy from your sword? I think it is only after I hand Ning Rongrong over that your sword will truly show no mercy."
Sword Douluo's expression stiffened. "Bai Yuan, Rongrong's life can at most threaten my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She is of no use to Spirit Hall, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, or the royal families of the Two Great Empires. If you release Rongrong now, I can still put in a good word for you."
Bai Yuan was startled inwardly. He had already felt that there were rather too many Titled Douluo coming.
Logically speaking, capturing Ning Rongrong should have attracted at most two Titled Douluo. Of course, if Ning Fengzhi was willing to pay a heavy price and owe favors, he could still find a few more.
But now, it seemed that nearly all the powerful factions on Douluo Continent had sent Titled Douluo here, all for him and Bai Yu, these "two Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts that rebuilt themselves."
Outwardly, however, Bai Yuan threw back his head and laughed. "Put in a good word for me? Sword Douluo Chen Xin, how about this instead? Help me drive them away, and I will immediately hand Ning Rongrong over to you."
As he spoke, Bai Yuan swallowed another Spirit Recovery Pill.
Sword Douluo's expression became frighteningly grim.
Terrifying Sword Qi spread around him. The very space around him seemed to ripple under the influence of his thoughts, with cracks even appearing from time to time, a sight that made hearts tremble.
Bai Yuan remained completely fearless. "If you don't dare help, then stand off to the side. Maybe after I drive these people away, I'll be in a good mood and release Ning Rongrong."
Sword Douluo's clenched fist cracked.
He said in a low voice, "Bai Yuan, do you really think I don't dare attack? Rongrong may indeed be Ning Fengzhi's daughter, but she is not his only child."
Bai Yuan smiled disdainfully. "Then attack if you have the guts. I guarantee that the moment you make a move, Ning Rongrong's head will be separated from her body."
Bai Yuan knew Sword Douluo's earlier words had merely been intended to diminish Ning Rongrong's value. But Bai Yuan was not someone who knew nothing.
At that moment, another figure flew over.
The newcomer was a breathtakingly beautiful woman in a dazzling golden ceremonial gown, holding a scepter embedded with countless gemstones.
"Bibi Dong," Bai Yuan called out her name.
Bibi Dong's expression was icy. "You know me?"
Bai Yuan smiled. "The Pope of Spirit Hall possesses peerless beauty and talent. Of course I know of you. And not only do I know your name, I also know your past, as well as certain secrets of yours that others do not know."
Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh. A strange interest, like a cat toying with a mouse, suddenly rose within her. Instead, she asked, "You know secrets that no one else knows? Then tell me."
Bai Yuan was pleased to see that Bibi Dong had no intention of attacking immediately, so he said, "For example, Secret Chamber Douluo. And Rakshasa."
Bai Yuan's words were brief. Sword Douluo Chen Xin was utterly confused, but Bibi Dong's face sank, and killing intent instantly rose within her.
The word Rakshasa meant nothing to anyone else, yet Bai Yuan had specifically said it to her.
That alone was enough to prove that Bai Yuan knew her secret.
What was even more absurd was Secret Chamber Douluo.
This title was incredibly strange. Even Bibi Dong had never heard it before, yet the moment she heard it, she understood whose title it was.
In an instant, terrifying power exploded in midair. The Five Elements Primordial Chaos Array, strengthened after Bai Yuan had swallowed more than thirty Spirit Recovery Pills, barely managed to block Bibi Dong's attack.
"Bibi Dong, you don't want the others to know your secret either, do you?" Bai Yuan's light laugh rang through the air.
