Qingping City, Bai family Mansion.
The fact that the Family Head the Qingping Bai Family, a highly respected family in the city, chose to marry a new wife at this time can be seen as bringing some joy to the deathly silence after the city was sealed off.
Inside the vast mansion, lanterns and beads hung everywhere, a testament to the recent celebrations. The boisterous atmosphere had not yet completely dissipated, and even the servants moving back and forth wore smiles.
Inside the main room of the west wing, the candlelight flickered.
The Bai family bride, who had not yet taken off her new red wedding dress, was combing her long hair that reached her waist in front of the mirror. Her expression remained normal on her strangely exquisite face.
The Mysterious Iron Marriage Contract, which had been completed last night in front of countless witnesses, was thrown on the ground like trash.
Demons have a much longer lifespan than martial artists of the same level.
The head of the Bai family is only at the fifth level of the Taixu Realm. He already looks old and will reach the limit of the Taixu Realm in another thousand years. How could he possibly grow old with her?
Only his mind remained resilient. Even though he managed to maintain his clarity of mind for a moment under her Charm Divine Ability in order to keep the promise he made to his deceased wife, he ultimately could not escape the fate of becoming bait on her chessboard.
The sound of heavy armor scraping came from behind.
She snapped out of her reverie, then asked softly:
"How's it going?"
Behind her, a burly man clad in heavy armor sat casually on the ground, kicking away the Mysterious Iron Marriage Contract with a mocking expression.
Upon hearing the woman's question, the muscular man quickly averted his gaze and lowered his head, saying:
"Dragon Pool Yao Xuan Envoy mobilized, the exact number is unknown... but judging from the sensing range of their auras, they are already approaching us."
"Just as you said before, there should be Yao Xuan Envoy among them who is very skilled in Art of Deduction. He must have used that Origin Demonic Qi to calculate my approximate location."
"Scared?" The bronze mirror reflected the corners of her lips in a smirk.
The burly man paused, then said in a deep voice, "Are you sure you don't want to find a more secluded place to make your move?"
"Qingping City is within a radius of ten thousand miles. Although there aren't many places far from the Nine Luminaries Division's eyes and ears, we can still find some. If that Yao Xuan Envoy really manages to track us here, I don't care if I die, but what about you..."
"It's alright," the red-eyed woman interjected directly, speaking softly.
"There aren't that many living people to use as shields in this desolate wilderness Bai family's reputation alone is enough to slow down the Nine Luminaries Division's blades."
"As long as it's not that Dao Evolution Realm Prefect Lin who comes in person, I'm confident I can take down this Yao Xuan Envoy, complete my transformation in one fell swoop, and become a Domain Lord."
"At that point, there will be no need for us to stay here any longer."
Knowing that there was a seventh-level Taixu Realm demon in this place, the Yao Xuan Envoy who still dared to come to exterminate it was most likely also guarded by a seventh-level Taixu Realm Saint.
The Dragon Pool Nine Luminaries Division is relatively easy to control in this respect; it doesn't have more than one high-ranking saint.
Otherwise, things will get complicated on my end.
As her thoughts churned, she reached for the Exquisite Wooden Hairpin in the White Jade Plate, slowly tying up her long hair, and then said:
"With this wedding dress as a backup, even if someone reveals the aura of the Dao Evolution Realm cultivator, we can still make a quick retreat."
The Art of Deduction.
Unless there is a sufficiently substantial medium, even if one can deduce approximate coordinates, it is impossible to pinpoint the exact person.
That Origin Demonic Qi clearly lacked sufficient strength.
Finding the two women out of the vast Bai family compound is no easy task.
Moreover, given the Bai family's prestige in Qingping City, even Yao Xuan Envoy would have to give some face to the Bai family head she married into, given the uncertainty of the target.
As for tracking demonic energy with one's senses... why not have that Prefect Lin come over in person and ask him if he can do that!
It has to be at least a well-established and renowned domain lord of the Great Sheng Dynasty; otherwise, don't even think about doing such a thing.
Thinking of this, a resolute look appeared on the woman's alluring face.
She was certainly aware of the high risks involved.
But for Saint-level Demon like her, who has neither domestic background nor Imperial Court backing, advancing to the Dao Evolution Realm as soon as possible is of paramount importance.
Therefore, we must utilize everything that can be used as leverage.
Whether it's bewitching the Bai family patriarch who lost his wife early in life, or keeping this bull demon infatuated with her hooked up... she will do anything that benefits her in becoming a domain lord without hesitation!
As for the current predicament...
If Longtan Grand Commandery could really send a veteran domain lord to this place to hunt down a Saint-level Demon that could fight several times even at the third level of the Great Void Realm...
That means I'm just unlucky.
The muscular man, seemingly accustomed to obeying women's commands, immediately shrugged and said:
"I'll do whatever you say."
Immediately afterwards, he stood up abruptly as if he had been electrocuted, his eyes, filled with a wild and untamed spirit, pointing straight at the sky outside the window.
The sky there appears empty to ordinary people, but to a Saint-level being, several streaks of light are seen streaking towards them one after another.
"They're here," he said in a deep voice.
"Can you sense their approximate cultivation level?"
The Crimson-Eyed Rabbit Demon composed herself and gracefully rose from the stool.
"The leader should be at the seventh level of the Great Void ..." The muscular man frowned, "But we can't be sure. The Dragon Pool Yao Xuan Envoy's Breath Concealment Skill are quite good. We need to get closer."
"Then come with me to see for myself."
The Crimson-Eyed Rabbit Demon took a deep look at herself in the mirror, then let out a soft breath and turned to walk outside.
Given her current status, it's perfectly normal for her to face the Yao Xuan Envoy who came to the Bai family, and she won't reveal any obvious flaws.
If he is truly just Yao Xuan Envoy at the Great Void Realm Seventh Level, then even if he sprouts two wings, he cannot escape her grasp.
Amidst the astonished and bewildered gazes of the Bai family members.
Several streaks of light landed on the Bai family, and the people in the surrounding area were quietly evacuated under the management of the Nine Luminaries Division.
Under the isolation Array Formation exclusive to the Nine Luminaries Division, most members of the Bai family were unable to detect this anomaly.
Of course, even if you could detect it, it wouldn't help.
The dome of Qingping City was shrouded in leaden-gray clouds.
Chen Chuan and the other three remained indifferent, their hands already resting on the hilts of their swords, awaiting only the young man's command.
The Boy in Black slowly walked out of the crowd, his brand-new Ink-Colored Long Robe swaying in the cold wind.
Without a sound, a Killing Intent, iron-like coldness had already enveloped the entire Bai family mansion.
The previously cheerful atmosphere, which had been somewhat enhanced by the red-themed celebration, was completely washed away.
Clang!
Upon seeing the neatly patterned Ink Fish Garments worn by the newcomer, countless members of the Bai family instinctively stepped back, some of whom, while sparring, even dropped their weapons to the ground.
Ye Li paid no attention to their panic, but calmly looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him.
In his perception, there were two demonic auras within the Bai family, one extremely obvious, and the other difficult to detect.
That must be the demon fishing behind the scenes.
I never expected they would dare to lie in wait here; they must be incredibly confident in their Divine Ability to conceal themselves.
"However, they do have some real talent."
Even inside the Bai family mansion, he couldn't directly perceive the other party's full appearance.
His cultivation level of the Great Void Realm Fourth Level is still somewhat holding him back.
But as long as he can see the person in person, no matter what kind of disguise the other party has, it will not be able to hide it from his pair of All-Seeing Divine Eye.
The Trouble is how to get the other party to actually appear in front of you.
Bang!
Just then, the front door was suddenly pushed open, and the white-haired head of the Bai family came out to greet them.
"The presence of several Yao Xuan Envoy has brought great honor to my humble abode."
Although he spoke flattering words, his stern face showed no smile as he asked, "May I ask what brings you all here?"
"My Bai family is currently celebrating a joyous occasion, and we are afraid we don't have the energy to entertain new guests. We hope you will understand!"
With a slightly cold tone, the Bai family patriarch subtly revealed his aura, releasing pressure without leaving a trace.
With his cultivation at the Great Void Realm Fifth Layer, he could naturally sense the surrounding crowd moving away and knew that the people in front of him must have ill intentions.
The five Yao Xuan Envoy arrived at the Bai family in such a grand manner.
If we don't do something, the Bai family's reputation in Qingping City will be damaged in the future.
Behind him, dozens of Bai family were on high alert, all staring intently at this group of uninvited guests from the Great Sheng Official, their hearts pounding involuntarily.
In full view of everyone.
The young man at the front of the crowd, clad in a long black robe, raised a finger. His voice was calm as water, yet it made the Bai family patriarch feel suffocated:
"A quarter of an hour."
"If I don't see all the living creatures of the Bai family appear here in a quarter of an hour, you will all die."
