CHAPTER 69: THE DOMAIN -13

"You trash... Go meet Yama,"

One of the women clad in rather immoral dress, revealing the roundness of her buggling chest fruit, with a slit of silk flowing down from her waist to her lower calves, revealing the creamy white thighs, roared with a fury of a thousand might.

A no-name boy from an unheard village!? The audacity to waste their time, he deserves a thousand deaths. Her fist instantly crackled with lightning producing crackling shooting electric noises.

"I suggest controlling your anger and refraining from making a move," Young Master Hong said sharply and coldly as he looked at Bai from top to bottom.

"You’re rather unusual, Young Master Bai. I didn’t think you would be like this. I have heard a few things about you..." Hong spoke politely.

’This guy knows me!? How!?’ Bai Long was confused to learn that some big shot knew him.

"If I may, this one dares to ask how Young Master knows of this Bai, I am just a nobody, I never thought Young Master Hong would know me." He asked respectfully.

"Obviously, I have shared enmity with Yang Kai as such, I know about you... From the reports this one has received, you were crippled by Yang Kai, but looking now, you are at the third stage of the Qi Saint realm with a rather unusual aura of blood and death. I believe in the capabilities of my subordinates, and the report I have received, so, it’s very likely that you have managed to get some profound boon of Heaven."

Shared enmity!?

Yang Kai!?

Ooh, united stronger together.

As a protagonist, he offended the number 1 genius of this era!? He doesn’t doubt it.

It is very likely that within 1-2 years, Yang Kai would reign supreme, publicly beating Young Master Hong and crowning himself with the title of Genius of this era.

"I see, this Bai can connect the pieces... Gongzi Hong wishes to uncover some secrets of Yang Kai."

"Young Master Bai is wise..." Hong nodded his head.

"I see... I dare not hide anything from the grace, Yang Kai carries the soul remains of the Supreme Immortal master in his jade pendant, who taught him the martial arts and cultivation techniques that allowed him to make rapid breakthroughs... I fear, it’s only a matter of time before Yang Kai claims the title of number 1 genius," Bai Long uttered making sure to let Hong realize that Yang Kai will surely become the number 1.

Heeding the words of Bai Long, there was a silence for a moment.

Who is Immortal!? What is Immortal!?

Yang Kai has a soul of an immortal that guides him in his cultivation path!?

This is unfair.

Hong couldn’t help but feel his heart burn in jealousy yet the face remained cold as ice.

A genius can only be called a genius when he has the opportunities. Without the opportunity, a genius is nothing. It’s just a person with a strong heart and a better physique. Nothing more.

"I see," Young Master Hong said, looking at him with a more serious face.

"Guidance from Immortal Master, so, that’s how it is... He must have accumulated a lot of merit in his past karma to gain aid from the Immortal one, how enviable... Tch, tch, tch. In the heart of the village, a kid sheds tears while, over in the city, another is on cloud nine."

Bai Long couldn’t help but nod his head. Truly, one had nothing to eat, and another had too much to waste. Perhaps, it is life.

There is nothing we can do.

"This Hong would like to ask a favor from Young Master Bai... I wonder if you can keep a close eye on Yang Kai and report back to me, since Bai also resides in the same village..."

"Oh, Gongzi Hong wishes to keep a close eye on Yang Kai!? I fear, I won’t be able to keep a close eye on Yang Kai, since he was taken away by the Xia family. This Bai speaks from the heart, I have no clue where Yang Kai currently is..."

"Ooh, taken away by the Xia family!? It seems I have missed a few reports. Let’s not discuss any further as this Hong wishes to get his hands on Calamity Ice Lotus as soon as possible..." Young Master Hong instantly decided it was enough talk.

Never grow the mosses, cut the losses.

He has learned what he needs to know. Any further conversation would be a waste of time.

"I see... Gongzi Hong is destined to get his hands on Calamity Ice Lotus, alas, we fellow daoiats can only collect some dime," Bai Long replied but deep inside he was laughing at Hong.

If there is anyone who will get his hands on Calamity Ice Lotus, then it shall be him, THE Bai Long.

Young Master Hong couldn’t care less about such empty words with 2 stones. His team began to march towards the inner area from the mountains.

Meanwhile, Bai Long returned to check on the beasts.

And indeed, they seemed to be fighting for the territory.

As unethical as it seems, Bai Long waved his hand and quickly killed the Big Snow cat that had won the battle.

"Ummm... So juicy," Bai Long said taking a bite of cat meat. The taste was good but the process of cooking was very hard too in this harsh cold region.

After filling his stomach, Bai Long decided to enter the inner area too.

The outer region must have emptied within these few days, so, it’s better to directly head straight to the inner region and start looting.

"Hmm, those three women... I know they are after the status and future, but looking at them they do seem to be from a noble family with well-maintained bodies and healthy skin. If I can somehow convince them and gain their attention, then using them I can use Heart-controlling Gu on Young Master Hong... Haha, with that the number 1 genius would be my slave." Bai Long muttered under his breath.

But what if they don’t co-operate!? It would be better if he had a system and could burn some points to gather more intel, despite that, it would still be unclear.

Like think clearly, if Bai Long were in their shoe, how would he think...

If someone tried to blackmail him, he would simply go and tell Gongzi Hong about all this. Like, it’s a no-brainer thing to do.

But if he was somehow convinced that he would win big time then he wouldn’t mind changing factions.

In the end, the world is all about making progress.

"Hmm, I think I should focus on Wang Gu, even if I use Heart-controlling Gu, the Hong Family might be able to clean it off... One must only swallow as much as one can chew." Bai Long used his brain to think. After all, if they are the orthodoxy family, cleansing some Gu wasn’t a major problem.

"Wang Gu... I need to make sure to use that brat thoroughly. If possible I need to focus on his mother and gain some hands on the Wang Family to control the inner circles and money flow..." Wang Gu is rich so Bai Long can be at ease on financial problems if he can successfully tame Wang Gu’s mother and keep that fat pig as a hostage.

But it is all just the plan. Reality might not go as planned.

"Alas... I need to focus on Ye Chen, how can I forget about it. I have to take the risk..."

**

"I need to ignore the inner area and directly head to the core area..." Bai Long/Bai Huan muttered lightly.

**

Bai Huan knew that exploring the inner area would greatly slow him down, and by that time, someone might get their hands on Calamity Ice Lotus.

Ling’er and Ning’er looked at each other.

Brother Bai, I’m afraid I have to express my concerns about visiting the core area... I just don’t think we’re strong enough," Mu Qing said politely.

Visiting a core area requires a large team of at least 10 people at a minimum. The outer region is hard enough how can they get their luck in the core area!?

"Sister Mu, you are a little backwards... Nothing will happen, we can simply avoid the danger..." Ling’er replied.

"Don’t be foolish senior sister Xu, you know very well that unlike us, the beasts here don’t have their sense blocked, they can see and smell clearly... It is unwise to proceed further."

"Junior Suster Mu, don’t be like that, with the help of the Enlightened silver mist roses, we all have further managed to reach the peak of the ninth stage of the Qi Saint realm... Just another session of cultivation and we can make a breakthrough to the foundation stage after the thunder tribulation.

"Don’t be stupid, consuming too much Yin will backfire, and it will become an aphrodisiac... You will need Yang to balance it,"
