Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 146 - 144: Bai Jingxue
"You bastard, who gave you the guts to talk to my master like that?"
Zheng Qi flew into a rage, face twisted as he roared, "Don’t think you can escape this time and the next! I will kill you! I’ll avenge my brother and mother!"
"I’m talking to Mr. Gon. Who the hell are you?" Xu Yang retorted mercilessly, giving him a frosty glance.
The icy glint in his eyes made Zheng Qi shudder inwardly.
He was shaking all over with anger, unable to contain his fury.
"I challenge you to a life and death battle!"
Hearing this, Xu Yang paused for a moment, then couldn’t help bursting into laughter.
"Truly brothers, from the same mother. Zheng Ming is useless, and although you’ve got some talent, Zheng Qi, you clearly have no brains!"
"You two really should just merge into one!"
The crowd had strange expressions, barely holding back their laughter!
Xu Yang was the key to unlocking the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure, and you want to duel him to the death?
Are you insane?
"Enough!"
Gon Lang’s face was grim as iron, glaring fiercely at Zheng Qi!
Zheng Qi finally realized his folly, his face turning green and then white with embarrassment.
"As you wish!"
Gon Lang sneered at Xu Yang, "But don’t say I didn’t warn you. In Daqian, anyone who dares offend my Wuhou Hall never ends well!"
"Thanks for the warning!"
"But I’m very eager to see for myself!"
Xu Yang didn’t give Gon Lang any face at all!
You think threats scare me?
A shadow flashed in Gon Lang’s eyes as he snorted. Things had come to this; willing or not, he had no choice but to accept it!
"Where is the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure?"
At these words, everyone’s gaze burned toward Xu Yang!
Now to the main point!
As for Chen Tai’e, Chen Chong, Zheng Qi, no one bothered with them anymore!
On any other day, anyone’s arrival would have caused a sensation.
But now, they’re completely invisible!
No matter how angry or vengeful, there was nothing they could do!
Xu Yang said calmly, "Seven days from now, I’ll take you all there myself!"
"However, to open the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure, we need seven experts—at least at the Middle Stage of the Myriad Phenomena Realm—to expend great power to break it open!"
"Seven?"
Everyone frowned.
"Who even knows whether Myriad Phenomena realm fighters can enter this treasure at all?"
"What if none of the Myriad Phenomena realm can get in..."
"Prepare for the worst. Even if Myriad Phenomena experts can’t get in, it’s no big deal!"
"But for these seven spots, there’s going to be heavy expenditure. Though there might not be much reason to fight for it, having some initiative is never bad. What if there’s an unexpected jackpot?"
After a brief uproar—
Zhang Yuanshan was the first to step forward. "I’ll be one of them!"
"Celestial Travelers’ Commerce Association will add one more!" Song Yuanhao followed closely.
Next up was Meng Ziqiu!
Gon Lang said coldly, "One from the Wuhou Hall!"
"One from the Zhu Family!"
"And one from the Bai Family!"
In the blink of an eye, six of the seven candidates were set!
"And this last one..."
Xu Yang narrowed his eyes and glanced around. Honestly, he didn’t care who the seven were!
To open the treasure, whoever participated couldn’t afford any tricks, or everyone else would turn on them instantly. And in any case, there was no benefit in playing games at this stage!
The truth was, he himself didn’t know whether Myriad Phenomena realm experts could even get inside the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure!
All would be revealed when the time came.
"The last one, give it to the royal palace!"
A shout rang out from the King’s Mansion!
Gon Lang shot a sidelong glance at the mansion and sneered sarcastically, "I thought the mighty King Beixuan’s palace would be cowards forever!"
Faced with his mockery, the King’s Mansion remained silent!
They didn’t seem to care about losing face at all anymore!
After all, they’d lost enough face already.
Seeing no response, Gon Lang felt bored and stopped talking.
The seven spots were decided—the treasure would open in seven days!
The big matter was set!
This earth-shaking event had finally come to some conclusion!
The bustling crowd dispersed in a wave of spirited discussion.
"Xu Yang, don’t get cocky! Once we reach the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasure, it’s your death sentence!"
Xu Yang turned his head, meeting the hate-filled eyes of Zheng Qi and Chen Chong, and smiled faintly, utterly indifferent!
Who can’t talk tough?
But he was well aware that once inside the Cyan Gang Sect’s treasury, those who wanted him dead would have no qualms left!
How many people want to kill him?
Plenty. More than plenty!
Even some strangers—when profit’s at stake, they won’t hesitate either!
"Seven days. I must break through to the Late Stage of Yin Realm!"
"Too bad I couldn’t kill Chen Tai’e!"
The group surrounding Xu Yang heard this and all wore odd expressions.
Zhang Yuanshan smiled wryly, "Mr. Xu, Chen Tai’e’s at the Myriad Manifestations Realm Perfection. Even if the Sword Saint himself is far stronger, it wouldn’t be easy to kill him!"
For someone that powerful, the means are endless. Unless you absolutely overwhelm them, killing them is next to impossible!
Xu Yang broke into a surprised laugh. True enough—the result today was already more than enough!
"Still, the Chen Family really took a hit. After this, they’re devastated! Chen Tai’e brought most of this generation’s talents, and now only Chen Chong remains—one branch alone can’t hold up the whole tree!" Zhang Yuanshan muttered, grinning.
Everyone else was full of emotion too!
When they came here, each had their own agenda!
But none would have guessed things would escalate this far!
Even though it was all because of Xu Yang—seeing the Wuhou Hall itself brought low at the end, there was a secret thrill and excitement inside them all!
The group chatted and laughed, leaving quickly.
Soon they settled into the Life and Death Martial Arena!
Behind the arena stretched a massive manor.
The many experts and factions on Xu Yang’s side quickly made themselves at home.
Awaiting the seventh day!
But Xu Yang had anything but peace here!
In a refined and elegant little courtyard, a woman’s unique fragrance lingered in the air!
The visitor was Bai Jingxue, eldest lady of the Bai Family!
Graceful as an orchid, gentle and lovely!
Even at first meeting, she could put anyone at ease.
Compared to Su Yun and Tuoba Hongyu, her gentleness and softness stood out uniquely!
"Mr. Xu, may I watch you refine pills?"
Xu Yang had already agreed to concoct a supreme-grade Spirit Pill for her!
The Bai Family still needed to be won over!
After all, Bai Song had switched sides earlier, and quite decisively at that!
He’d only just returned and Bai Jingxue showed up right away.
After speaking, Bai Jingxue worried it would put Xu Yang on the spot, so she quickly smiled, "If it’s inconvenient, that’s fine. I do know the taboos of Alchemists. I’m just far too curious. It’s been centuries since a supreme pill has appeared in the world."
She paused a moment, and looked a little embarrassed. "Hope Mr. Xu doesn’t mind!"
Xu Yang looked deeply at Bai Jingxue, thinking to himself that Meng Ziqiu’s praise of her was well deserved!
This woman’s poise and the way she dealt with people really was extraordinary!
Compared to her, even Su Yun’s allure seemed to fall a little short!
Of course, you can never know a person’s heart just by their appearance!
Xu Yang was no longer the naive Bai—open-hearted, unguarded toward others!
As for Bai Jingxue, he could only admire her, but he felt nothing deeper within.
"No inconvenience at all."
Xu Yang smiled slightly, sitting down cross-legged right in the courtyard.
To witness a supreme-grade pill being refined in person—only then could she understand how incredible it was!
Letting Bai Jingxue take this back to the Bai Family would help him too!
After all, the Bai Family was one of the three great families in Central State!
The Chen Family was crippled—and after this was all done, if the Bai Family and Zhu Family moved in silent agreement, their strength might take another leap! 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Besides, even a Pill King would learn nothing by watching, let alone regular Martial Artists!
"Thank you, Mr. Xu!"
Bai Jingxue’s face lit up with delight, her slender hands folded gracefully at her waist, and her elegant, gentle gaze brimming with curiosity as she watched intently.
