"Haha, since that's the case, then Bai Ye, I'm entrusting this important task of capturing Xiao Yan to you. You absolutely mustn't fail!"
Bai Ying looked at Bai Ye with a solemn gaze, his expression appearing extremely serious.
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye's heart tightened slightly, and his expression changed slightly. He hadn't expected that his clan leader would agree to Sun Shuo's decision.
Based on Bai Ye's understanding of Bai Ying, his family patriarch was not the kind of person who was willing to suffer losses. After all, this was the Sun Clan's territory, and if the Sun Clan refused to acknowledge the debt, the Bai Clan would likely be left with no way to explain themselves.
Meanwhile, Sun Shuo, standing behind Bai Ying, also looked at Bai Ying, who had his back to him, with a hint of suspicion on his face.
The man in front of him Bai Ying, had been fighting with the Sun Clan for countless years. Sun Shuo knew the latter's character very well. This man was not one to suffer losses. Once he had his eye on a prey, even if he couldn't kill it, he would not be satisfied until he had torn off a piece of flesh.
However, the fact that Bai Ying would say such things to her face was something that made him suspicious.
At the same time, Bai Ye, standing in front of Bai Ying, hesitated before speaking, but then Bai Ying spoke again with a solemn expression, saying:
" Bai Ye, only you can take on this task. It concerns the reputation of the Bai Clan. Do you intend to shirk it? If you do, this Sun fellow will gain power and laugh at the Bai Clan for having no one to rely on!"
As Bai Ying finished speaking, Bai Ye in front of him lowered his head solemnly and could only nod hard at Bai Ying. After all, this was the decision of the family head, and he had no right to change it or object.
Seeing this, Bai Ying nodded and smiled. However, Bai Ye, who had lowered his head, did not notice that at this moment, a glint of light flashed in the depths of Bai Ying's eyes.
"But clan leader, this is the Sun Clan's territory. They have the upper hand. If Sun Shuo sends more people, won't we suffer the same loss?"
After a slight hesitation, Bai Ye raised her head. At the same time, Bai Ying's expression quickly returned to normal. She smiled slightly and chuckled softly at Bai Ye in a voice only the two of them could hear, saying:
" Bai Ye, what you say is certainly true, but do you think that if you can think of it, I wouldn't?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Ye snapped out of his daze, and his expression quickly changed. He hurriedly bowed to Bai Ying in front of him and apologized, saying:
"Your subordinate is foolish and has absolutely no intention of belittling the clan chief!"
"Haha, it's alright, I know you're doing this for the family's good, so..."
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Ying suddenly turned around, his gaze instantly fixed on Sun Shuo. His eyes narrowed, and he said to Sun Shuo in a low voice:
"However, Chief Sun, I believe there is something I must explain to you before proceeding."
Sun Shuo raised an eyebrow, knowing what Bai Ying was going to say, but he pretended not to know, chuckled, and asked with a knowing look on his face:
"Hehe, does Chief Bai Clan have any questions this time?"
"Hmph, my Bai Clan only has Bai Ye and me here now. If I don't make a move, it's just him alone. So, if your Sun Clan sends someone, it's only right..."
"Your Bai Clan has no one to rely on, so don't blame me. This is my Sun Clan. I can send as many as I want, as long as I wish. If Bai Clan Chief Bai has that ability, I won't stop him."
Before Bai Ying could finish speaking, Sun Shuo snorted coldly, interrupting him with a mocking laugh.
"You..."
Instantly, a look of anger appeared on Bai Ying's face. His originally kind expression suddenly became twisted and ferocious. His hands, which were extended from his sleeves, trembled violently, and his eyes seemed to be spitting out a torrent of anger.
Seeing this, Sun Shuo smiled coldly, a sneer appearing on his lips. Then, he waved his hand sharply, his sleeves billowing and rustling, and an invisible gust of wind swept through the courtyard.
"Listen up, everyone in my Sun Clan! From this moment on, all Nine-Star Half-Emperor, go to the Four Pavilions and bring back that Third-Tier Alchemist, Xiao Yan! Whoever catches him will be rewarded with a third-tier pill... no, two!"
Sun Shuo's loud shout resounded, and instantly, the entire Hanxi City seemed to be struck by lightning. Sun Shuo words exploded in the ears of everyone in the city.
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the city was deeply shaken by Sun Shuo's words.
From these words, it is clear that Xiao Yan, who was listed as the number one wanted person by the Four Great Sects, is actually in his Hanxi City at this moment. Moreover, it seems that Xiao Yan is currently in the Four Pavilions in the city.
Instantly, a sense of greed arose in the hearts of all the Half-Emperor in the city.
The Four Great Sects were equally tempted by the bounty offered, but they were simply unable to find Xiao Yan. Now that he had appeared here, how could the people in the city easily miss this opportunity to capture him?
In the blink of an eye, not only did the Sun Clan's Nine-Star Half-Emperor in the city obey orders, but powerful figures from all directions in the city also moved in response. At this moment, Xiao Yan was in the Four Pavilions. This was Sun Shuo's own word, so it was absolutely true.
Within a few short breaths, the vast Hanxi City quickly descended into chaos because of Sun Shuo's words.
Of course, it was chaotic, but it was also orderly, as everyone in the city was converging in one direction with the same goal.
This scene, viewed from above, truly deserves the title of "grand".
Countless powerful figures unleashed their Dou Qi, sending beams of Dou Qi soaring into the heavens. Then, they moved in unison, flashing one after another, leaving behind dazzling afterimages in the sky.
Tens of thousands of people, with the same movements, rapidly converged on the same spot in the city. This scene, viewed from above, resembled countless fireflies being drawn in by something, frantically surging in, and the light at the very center gradually became more and more dazzling.
Meanwhile, in the Four Pavilions, Sun Huo, who had been standing respectfully in front of Xiao Yan, now had a look of utter shock on his face.
As Sun Shuo's words reached him, Sun Huo's original thoughts shattered like a cloud. In his heart, he couldn't believe it. He never imagined that the Third-Tier Alchemist could help him rise to the top was actually Xiao Yan, whom the Four Great Sects wanted to eliminate together!
"You... you are... how... how could this be!"
Sun Huo stared at Xiao Yan in utter horror, his eyes turning bloodshot, his emaciated body trembling violently, and his finger slowly pointing at Xiao Yan.
While the reward offered by Sun Shuo would certainly be tempting to ordinary people, he remained unmoved. If the person before him were not Xiao Yan, he would have received far more third-tier pills than Sun Shuo was currently promising.
However...
Now everything has vanished like a bubble.
Xiao Yan grinned, his smile laced with sarcasm and disdain.
"Yes, the person your family head is referring to is me, Xiao Yan."
