Inside the Sun residence, the head of the Sun Clan family stared at Bai Ye with a fierce glint in his eyes, his sharp gaze revealing a burning killing intent.
" Bai Ye! How dare you mock me and deliberately delay me!"
The Sun Clan family patriarch's face was filled with blazing killing intent, and his voice was hoarse from the anger in his chest.
"Hehe, Sun Clan, we are both acting for our families. Your Sun Clan wants Xiao Yan, and how could my Bai Clan stand idly by? I, Bai Ye, am not the kind of person who would betray my family."
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye gave a mocking smile, and the words he uttered made the face of the Sun Clan family head even more gloomy.
"Hmph! If you behaved yourself, I might have been more polite to you. But since you're determined to die, I'll grant your wish today!"
Seeing Bai Ye's smug expression, the Sun Clan family head's face turned ashen, then transformed into an even more surging killing intent.
As the Sun Clan family patriarch's angry shout fell, his burly body suddenly trembled, and the surging aura within him swept out at that moment, transforming into an invisible wave that swept fiercely towards Bai Ye with overwhelming momentum.
At such close range, coupled with the difference in strength between the two, Bai Ye had no way to avoid it. In an instant, that terrifying aura and pressure had already reached Bai Ye with unstoppable force, and was about to strike Bai Ye hard in the next moment.
At this moment, Bai Ye was also terrified. Facing the attack of a Dou Di expert, he had no chance to fight back. Right now, he didn't even have a chance to dodge. He could only watch helplessly as this invisible aura and pressure slammed into him.
The next moment, a deep, resonant laugh suddenly echoed across the sky above Hanxi City. At the same time, a terrifying aura, no less powerful than the previous one, descended abruptly, instantly blocking the aura released by the Sun Clan family patriarch.
"Haha, Sun Shuo, you dare to try and kill members of my Bai Clan right in front of me? You're really quite domineering!"
As the imposing aura of Sun Shuo, the head of the Sun Clan family, was blocked, a middle-aged figure dressed in a white robe slowly descended from the sky and stood in front of Bai Ye.
Upon seeing his family head, Bai Ye's face immediately lit up with joy. He quickly bowed to the middle-aged man before him and respectfully said:
"Thank you so much, Master, for saving my life!"
In response, the middle-aged man in front of Bai Ye still had his back to her. He simply raised one hand, waved it casually, and then looked up at Sun Shuo, the head of the Sun Clan family, with a slight smile on his lips.
"Hehe, Sun Shuo, we've each protected our families for many years now, it's been a long time since we last met. Seeing you today, you've become quite stronger than before!"
The Bai Clan patriarch looked at Sun Shuo with a smile, his eyes narrowed, and a sharp glint flashed in the depths of his pupils.
"Hmph, Bai Ying, you're no worse than me; your strength has actually reached the Middle Three-Star Dou Di Stage."
Sun Shuo snorted coldly, his tone showing no sign of backing down.
"Haha, same to you. Since you've cultivated to this level, wouldn't it be a laughing stock if I couldn't?"
Bai Ying laughed heartily, his laughter deliberately enveloped in his Dou Qi, making it clear to everyone in Hanxi City. At the same time, the belittling tone in his words also clearly reached the ears of everyone in Hanxi City.
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste my breath on you. You probably didn't come here with good intentions!"
Sun Shuo stared at Bai Ying in front of him, his tone ruthless. He was just as wary of the latter.
The man before him, like the patriarchs of the other two families, had been his rival for many years. Now, seeing him again, it seemed they were still evenly matched. He wondered, however, how strong the patriarchs of the Zhuo Clan and Huo Clan were now.
After all, among the Four Great Clans, the Zhuo Clan is the leader, followed by the Huo Clan. The Bai Clan and the Sun Clan are now roughly equal in strength, but it is unknown what stage the other two families have reached.
"Hey, what do you mean by 'having ill intentions'? I heard that Xiao Yan has come to Hanxi City, and I was afraid that Clan Chief Sun might not be able to capture him, so I came here specifically to help. After all, if Xiao Yan escapes on your Sun Clan's territory, it won't just be a disgrace to your Sun Clan. Heavenly Sword Sect blames you, you can't afford the consequences!"
Bai Ying stared at Sun Shuo with a half-smile, and chuckled.
"Hmph, Bai Ying, are you deliberately looking down on my Sun Clan!"
Upon hearing Bai Ying's words, Sun Shuo felt a surge of anger rise within him. His face turned ashen, and the muscles on his face contorted slightly.
"Haha, Brother Sun, why do you say that? I'm just worried about you. After all, the Sun Clan is one of our Four Great Clans. If you lose face, the other three families will also lose face."
"Hmph, stop your nonsense. Since you've come with a purpose, why bother with this hypocritical act? Yes, Xiao Yan is currently in my Hanxi City, but capturing him is a matter for my Sun Clan. Bai Ying, you'd better mind your own business!"
Sun Shuo glared angrily at Bai Ying, his sharp eyes almost spitting fire. His fists were clenched tightly under his sleeves, and as his Dou Qi surged, the void around Sun Shuo's body began to fluctuate more and more violently.
"Haha, Brother Sun Shuo, you are a guest, why are you angry? Besides, this is your Sun Clan's territory. If we start fighting, my Bai Clan is fine, but if the battle spreads to your Sun Clan, wouldn't we end up losing more than we gain? As for capturing Xiao Yan... why don't our two families each rely on our own abilities?"
Bai Ying looked at Sun Shuo with a faint smile, his expression unusually amiable. Compared to Sun Shuo, Bai Ying was like a kind-looking middle-aged man, giving people an immediate sense of warmth and approachability.
"Each relying on their own abilities? What abilities?"
Upon hearing Bai Ying's words, Sun Shuo frowned darkly. After considering his options, he raised his head, stared fiercely at Bai Ying, and asked in a low voice.
"Haha, that's easy. Everyone says Xiao Yan has the ability to challenge opponents of higher levels, but you and I are both Dou Di experts, so it's inconvenient for us to take action. So, let's just have someone below Dou Di take action. Whoever subdues Xiao Yan Xiao Yan first will have him."
Seeing that Sun Shuo had taken the bait, Bai Ying grinned, a subtle glint flashing in the depths of his eyes. As he finished speaking, Bai Ying's gaze also turned to Bai Ye behind him.
Upon hearing Bai Ying's words, Sun Shuo's expression faltered slightly. He hadn't expected Bai Ying to make such a request. But the most crucial point was that he hadn't limited the number of people. Wasn't this blatantly pushing Xiao Yan into the arms of his Sun Clan?
After a moment's thought, a smug smile appeared on Sun Shuo's face, as if Xiao Yan had already become a sitting duck in his arms. He only needed to send someone out to easily retrieve him, and before long, his Sun Clan would become the head of the Four Great Clans under the Heavenly Sword Sect!
"Haha, Bai Ying, since you're so willing to give it away, then this clan leader will accept it without ceremony! Haha, good! I agree to your terms. Our two families will each send someone, and whichever side subdues Xiao Yan Xiao Yan first will have him!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ying smiled and nodded, laughing loudly:
"Alright! We'll do as Brother Sun Shuo says!"
While the two men in the Sun residence were laughing loudly as if they were doing business, Xiao Yan in the Four Pavilions heard everything clearly. Instantly, his face darkened. He couldn't believe that these guys would treat him like an object and fight over him like this. Did they really think he, Xiao Yan, was a pushover that everyone could bully?
