CHAPTER 448: CHAPTER 447 KUN BAI (6/6)

Gu Gu City.

Two people walked out of a villa and took a taxi to the airport.

After they left, a person quietly left the villa opposite...

The plane departed at seven in the morning...

The plane’s destination was Jin Chen.

After landing in Jin Chen, the two immediately boarded another flight.

It was only in the evening that they took a jeep and went deep into the mountains.

The rest of the journey required them to proceed on foot.

By the time it was late at night, the two of them entered a majestic complex of buildings.

These massive buildings were like ancient palace halls, lined up in rows, forming a magnificent view.

However, such a grand structure in the depths of the mountains had never been known to the outside world.

At this moment, a young man wearing a traditional robe approached and said, "Senior Brother Shang Nang, Senior Brother Shang Xi, Master instructed you to find him at the main hall!"

Shang Nang nodded and said in a deep voice, "Alright! I understand!"

After speaking, the two continued walking ahead.

The young man looked at Shang Nang with a puzzled expression.

It was known that Shang Nang was the star figure of their sect, with great talent, fast cultivation, and high skills; he was almost a model for all the sect’s disciples.

Some even said that Shang Nang might become one of the sect’s top ten elites in the next generation.

However, today he noticed that Shang Nang’s aura was unstable, his face pale, limbs weak, and his pace slow, as if his cultivation had suffered significant damage.

...

Shang Nang’s face was pale because his heart was also cold as ice.

Though he had recuperated for a long time, and his wounds were mostly healed, the internal injuries... were still irreparable.

All the meridians in his body were shattered, his foundation destroyed, leaving no hope for cultivation in this life.

Upon hearing the master’s summons, Shang Nang knew his fate was almost sealed.

Shang Xi also felt uneasy.

Although he lost a rival, making his future smoother, it was also a responsibility he couldn’t bear. If the master punished him, he too would suffer greatly.

With uneasy hearts, the two arrived at the main hall.

In the main hall, a middle-aged man wearing a dark-golden robe, seemingly around forty, with a tuft of black goatee, appeared quite celestial and sage-like.

Kun Bai frowned deeply upon seeing the two.

Especially when his gaze landed on Shang Nang, a flicker of anger and shock flashed in his eyes as he demanded, "Shang Nang, what happened to your cultivation?"

Upon hearing Kun Bai’s inquiry, Shang Nang was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground with a thud.

Beside him, Shang Xi was also so scared that he trembled, kneeling and bowing on the ground, not daring to lift his head.

Shang Nang cried, "Master! You must stand up for your disciple! My meridians and cultivation were all destroyed by someone!"

Upon hearing this, Kun Bai’s eyebrows shot up in anger, and he slammed the table, suddenly standing up, shouting coldly, "Who on earth dared to harm my disciple so audaciously?"

Among all Kun Bai’s disciples, Shang Nang was undoubtedly the one he pinned the most hopes on, as Shang Nang was still very young and had much potential.

But now, with Shang Nang’s meridians shattered and his cultivation destroyed, how could Kun Bai not be furious!

Shang Nang, with a miserable face, cried, "It was Yang Chen, the man with Ye Xin!"

"What?" Kun Bai’s eyes widened, and he demanded, "What is going on?"

Shang Nang said, "Wasn’t it you who sent Junior Brother Shang Xi to find Ye Xin? Currently, Ye Xin’s situation has also become unstable, so it’s better to bring her back to the sect as soon as possible. When Shang Xi tracked Ye Xin to Gu Gu City, he foundYe Xin could no longer suppress it... However, there was a man named Yang Chen by Ye Xin’s side. Shang Xi wanted to eliminate this man, but was defeated by him. Coincidentally, I was also out on a mission nearby, so Junior Brother Shang Xi called me to help. I lured him out, ready to fight him, but didn’t expect his strength to be formidable. He not only shattered my meridians but also destroyed my cultivation!"

Upon hearing this, Kun Bai frowned and asked, "Does this person belong to a sect?"

Shang Nang shook his head and said solemnly, "As far as I know... no! However, his strength is terrifying. At the time, he was seriously injured, and merely at the Innate Realm, even if I had taken a pill, I was no match for him..."

Hearing this, Kun Bai furrowed his brows deeply.

Kun Bai, though angry, did not lose his cool. Years of cultivation had taught him to control his emotions.

After some thought, Kun Bai shouted to the outside, "Fetch Shang Ting!"

"Yes!"

The person outside responded immediately and rushed off.

About fifteen minutes later, Kun Bai had clarified some of the details.

Based on Shang Xi’s account, it seemed Ye Xin and this man were in a romantic relationship, making the matter more serious.

At this moment, Shang Ting also arrived at the hall, knelt, and said, "Disciple greets Master!"

Kun Bai said, "Shang Ting, I ask you, did you get any news when you went to find Ye Xin?"

Shang Ting hesitated for a moment and said solemnly, "Master only instructed disciple to search for Senior Brothers Shang Xi and Shang Nang. I am still doing my best to investigate this matter..."

Kun Bai interrupted directly, "I just ask you if there is any other valuable information!"

"This..." Shang Ting hesitated.

"Speak!" Kun Bai shouted.

Shang Ting immediately felt a pressure, making him bow on the ground, unable to rise, with no urge to resist, only able to say helplessly, "Disciple did obtain some other information, but I haven’t confirmed it and dared not report arbitrarily to Master."

"Speak!" Kun Bai withdrew the pressure.

"Yes!" Shang Ting said solemnly, "I heard that Ye Xin and a man named Yang Chen got a marriage certificate and are husband and wife..."

"Bang!" Hearing this, Kun Bai was so furious that he slammed the table and with a sweep of his sleeve, Shang Ting was flung out of the hall.

"Nonsense! Such important news, why didn’t you report it to me as soon as you returned?" Kun Bai scolded angrily.

Shang Ting was thrown more than ten meters away, spat out two mouthfuls of blood upon landing, and quickly knelt down on the ground, saying, "Disciple knows his mistake!"

"Immediately! Go call your senior brother Shang Ting and have him bring the other nine elites to the Ye family in Jin Chen! Bring Ye Xin back to me!" Kun Bai commanded.

"Yes!" Shang Ting quickly got up and rushed outside.

Watching Shang Ting leave, Kun Bai’s expression changed several times.

If Ye Xin had truly lost her purity, he might not be able to explain to the Sect Leader.

Thinking of this, Kun Bai’s gaze fell on Shang Xi and Shang Nang, and he said solemnly, "You two, listen to me!"

"Yes!" The two knelt on the ground.

Kun Bai said in a deep voice, "If the Sect Leader inquires about this matter, say that the two of you fought Yang Chen valiantly, but were injured by Yang Chen and Ye Xin together, understand?"

Hearing this, Shang Xi and Shang Nang couldn’t help but exchange a glance, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes, and quickly replied, "Disciple understands!"
