CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 51: SETTING OUT TO RESCUE

Others may not know who Han Yu is, but the Bai Family certainly does.

He killed three Half-Step Divine Gaze Realm Elders of the Qin Family and managed to escape under the siege of three Divine Gaze Realm Elders and the Patriarch of the Qin Family.

His physical body is formidable, able to kill a Half-Step Divine Gaze with a single punch.

Moreover, there are rumors in Tianning City that he possesses two types of Innate Divine Techniques.

Someone who even the Qin Family finds troublesome has come to the Bai Family today?

It quickly dawned on them, he’s here for Bai Junya.

Several High-tier Clan Elders immediately surrounded him. Han Yu scanned them, and the Little Artifact Spirit quickly provided him with the answer.

"One in Divine Gaze Realm, three Half-Step Divine Gaze, and several minor characters."

Hearing this, Han Yu sneered inwardly, wondering if that one on the brink of death of the Divine Gaze Realm could even wield power properly, along with three Half-Step Divine Gaze elders nearing their end, how could they think themselves akin to those of the Qin Family?

With a wave of his hand, a Hungry Ghost Image appeared behind him, countless white bones surged out toward the Bai Family members.

"Quick... retreat!"

Someone shouted loudly and tried to fly away on a Flying Sword, but unfortunately, as soon as they stepped onto the sword, a group of hungry ghosts jumped and pulled them down, turning them into new piles of white bones in an instant.

The Divine Gaze Realm Elder was furious, continually sending waves of True Essence to strike down the surrounding hungry ghosts.

Han Yu watched the ghosts being slain with indifference, "I want to see how many you can kill! As long as you dare to stop, the ghosts will scatter, and your Bai Family offspring will be massacred."

With that, more ghosts rushed towards the Divine Gaze Realm Elder and the other three Half-Step Divine Gaze individuals.

On the other side, Bai Family offspring kept retreating, thinking they had reached safety, yet before they had the chance to relax, Han Yu suddenly threw a massive Fire Lotus, causing flames to erupt in the Bai Family. Some unlucky offspring were ignited by the fire, rolling on the ground in agony.

Several clansmen who tried to help extinguish the fire had barely rushed forward when they found themselves caught in the flames instead, causing ghostly wails and more scorched corpses to appear within the Bai Family.

"Everyone, retreat!"

With no other options, the Divine Gaze Elder commanded, leaping into the air to join the Bai Family offspring, prioritizing their retreat.

The other three Half-Step Divine Gaze individuals, already elderly and exhausted, struggled to hold on. After barely sustaining themselves for another moment, they shouted, "We can’t hold on any longer, let’s retreat first."

With that, the three figures ran faster than the group of younger offspring.

"Come back!"

The Divine Gaze Elder’s form wavered in anger, as those who normally spoke of the family turned and fled at a moment of life and death.

Han Yu coldly observed this group, filled with contempt, finally witnessing firsthand what Bai Jingliang had described as repulsive beyond belief.

Disinterested, he waved away the Hungry Ghost Image and Fire Lotus, commanding, "Get out! It’s dirtying my hands to kill you."

The crowd fled rapidly, vacating the Bai Mansion in the blink of an eye, leaving behind a chilling silence.

Then, Han Yu turned to Lily and asked, "Do you know where they are imprisoned?"

Lily quickly nodded, pointing towards the Punishment Hall, saying, "Over there, Jingliang and Sister Bai’s family are all locked inside."

The two of them quickly made their way towards the Punishment Hall. As soon as they entered, they could faintly hear Bai Jingliang’s curses.

Inside, the sounds of footsteps were also heard, prompting even louder insults.

"You bunch of wretches, will perish without a trace someday."

Bai Jingliang continuously slammed against the iron door, cursing loudly.

"You shouldn’t be cursing at me, right?"

Han Yu had yet to arrive, but his voice came first. Bai Jingliang instinctively paused, then excitedly shouted, "Is it you? Han Yu!"

"It’s me!"

Right after he spoke, Han Yu arrived at the cell, accompanied by little Lily.

Scanning the cell, he suddenly noticed that something was amiss; Bai Junya was nowhere to be seen.

"Where’s your sister?"

Han Yu frowned and asked.

Bai Jingliang’s face suddenly turned anxious, and he quickly replied, "Hurry and let us out, she’s been taken to the Qin Family Castle by that old Bai Zhiyuan, we need to rush to save her."

"Step back!"

Han Yu shouted a command, and Bai Jingliang quickly pulled his parents into a corner, shortly afterwards seeing Han Yu’s massive fist slam into the iron bars.

Buzz~

A huge echoing sound followed, as the iron bars made of special metal deformed and were launched across, crashing hard against the opposite wall.

"Hurry, let’s rescue the people first."

After escaping the cell, Bai Jingliang urged continuously.

The group quickly exited the Bai Mansion; outside, there was already a tumultuous crowd, not just the retreating Bai Family members, but also many people from the noble families within the city who had come upon hearing the news.

Bai Zhiyuan, feeling smug, was heading home, but shortly after entering the city gates, he noticed a large crowd gathered outside the mansion.

"Why are you all outside?"

As he approached, he realized most were his own family members; he looked at them with confusion and they returned similar looks.

"Where’s Bai Junya?"

Han Yu approached him, lifted him up, and coldly questioned.

Bai Zhiyuan was taken aback, looking desperately at the clan members for help. Each one he glanced at quickly lowered their heads, and even the few elder brothers could only shake their heads and sigh helplessly.

"Why did you send my sister to Qin Family Castle?"

Bai Jingliang stormed up, drew his knife, and ruthlessly slashed at his thigh, cutting away a whole chunk of flesh. Bai Zhiyuan cried out in pain, tears already streaming down.

"Why?"

Han Yu also asked coldly, and Bai Zhiyuan didn’t dare to hide the truth, immediately confessing everything in detail.

"You sold my daughter for a manual?"

Bai Chong’an looked at him incredulously, then quickly stepped forward, snatching the knife from Bai Jingliang’s hand and similarly gouged out a piece of his flesh.

"Where is the manual?"

Han Yu asked with a cold sneer. Bai Zhiyuan quickly reached into his bosom and took out the book that had just been acquired.

"Was it for this thing? You sold Bai Junya and me?"

Bai Zhiyuan’s expression first went blank, then his face changed dramatically, turning extremely pale, "You are Han Yu?"

Han Yu chuckled coldly, snatched the manual, and tossed it into the sky. In Bai Zhiyuan’s horrified gaze, a streak of flame rose skyward and burned it to ashes.

"No..."

Bai Zhiyuan cried despairingly, as if the most important thing in his life was slipping away.

"I’ll send you to accompany it."

Han Yu patted his shoulder, another flame flickered, and in an instant, he was engulfed and turned into a human torch.

"Save me... save me..."

He rolled continuously outside the mansion, the fire burning stronger until he finally collapsed with a final, gut-wrenching scream.

Then a great fire rose into the sky above Bai Mansion...

"Hey hey hey! Are you really going to your death?"

Glass kept clamoring in his mind.

"Can’t you wish me some good luck?"

Han Yu swiftly traversed the wilderness outside the city, responding mentally.

Little Artifact Spirit retorted angrily, "They’ve already laid in ambush over there, going like this is no different from courting death!"

"Wait for me."

A hurried call came from behind, Han Yu halted his steps and turned back. In the skyline, a knife light flickered, and Bai Jingliang came chasing, panting heavily.

Why did he follow?

"After all, she’s my sister, I want to help."

Bai Jingliang said determinedly, even while catching his breath.

Little Artifact Spirit couldn’t help but dampen his spirits again in his mind, "Look, now you have an additional burden, not going anymore!"

Han Yu’s face turned dark, both to it and to Bai Jingliang.

"My father will arrive soon; he’s persuading the patriarchs of the noble families. If you can kill a few Qin Family elders, maybe the entire noble families of Tianning Prefecture will unite against them."

Bai Jingliang hurriedly relayed what Father Bai had instructed before departure.

Upon hearing this, Han Yu thought carefully. Even if he rescued Bai Junya, escaping would be difficult, ultimately falling into the battle array.

Rather than that, it might indeed be better to eliminate a few elders so that a few noble families would join in.

"Wait here for your father! Don’t follow me. I need to be ready to flee at any moment, I can’t look after you, and you’ll only weigh me down."

Though the words were harsh, they were better than being constantly restrained at the time.

Bai Jingliang looked dejected, but he could only nod and said, "I owe you this time, I’ll repay you in the future."

Who needs a big man like you to owe me, it’d be better if Bai Junya owed me!

Han Yu rolled his eyes and then dashed away once more...

"Are all the preparations done?"

Qin Tiannan asked the cultivator reporting back inside.

The cultivator clasped his hands and replied promptly, "Everything is already arranged with the Other Shore cultivators forming arrays at various places. As soon as someone barges in, a joint assault can be launched to intercept them immediately, and the elders are hidden in the dark, ready to encircle and trap at any moment."

Qin Tiannan nodded repeatedly, then instructed, "Tell the disciples at the Other Shore level not to advance rashly, just release the joint assault and then retreat immediately, letting the next group take over. I and the elders will arrive in a flash."

The cultivator repeatedly affirmed before slowly retreating.

Inside Qin Hao’s room.

Bai Junya was violently thrown onto the bed, nearby Qin Hao wore a leering expression, rubbing his hands as he approached.

"Don’t come any closer."

Bai Junya’s face was deathly pale, desperately trying to communicate with her Sea of Consciousness, attempting to use her divine techniques.

Sadly, her techniques were already exhausted, she could only grab pillows and quilts from the bed, throwing them madly at Qin Hao.

This posed no real threat, only further arousing his brutal wildness.

The thought of this marvelous body soon being laid bare before his eyes made his lower abdomen heat up, and a crooked smile began to stretch across his mouth...
