Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 220 - 218: What Happened?
Xu Yang’s mouth twitched, his expression peculiar.
If Wuhou Hall found out the truth, I’m afraid they’d collapse, losing their minds completely!
Knowing he was in the Bai Family, it wouldn’t be surprising if they mobilized and wiped out the entire Bai Family right away.
And Chen Chong...
He’d probably want to die, too.
"Ahem, luckily we kept a low profile when returning, and didn’t let any outsiders see us!" At this moment, Xu Yang also rejoiced in his earlier caution.
If not, once exposed, things would’ve exploded!
"But the prizes from Wuhou Hall’s Profound Celestial Arena are already more than enough for me."
Xu Yang grinned widely, completely unconcerned!
No matter how many benefits they offered, he wouldn’t go to Wuhou Hall!
Let them look for Huang Wu instead!
Bai Jingxue laughed charmingly, graceful and alluring.
"Not a single person in Wuhou Hall suspects that something’s wrong with Huang Wu."
Just thinking about it, she could barely contain herself.
If this got out, it would be a scandal shaking the heavens!
Wuhou Hall’s reputation would be utterly ruined, their dignity lost!
Xu Yang let out a faint laugh: "No matter how they imagine it, they would never believe I’d dare to brazenly provoke Wuhou Hall directly!"
To this, Bai Jingxue could not agree more!
Who on earth could have thought of this?
"Let them keep searching."
"Mhm."
Bai Jingxue pressed her lips in a soft smile, then quickly departed.
Xu Yang continued to cultivate and practice alchemy simultaneously!
With the Celestial Refining Divine Scripture’s immense refining prowess, splitting his focus didn’t affect his alchemy in the slightest!
Now, any kind of fifth-rank supreme pills—like the Yang Ascending Elixir—were no difficult feat for him at all!
If his cultivation broke through one more rank, firing on all cylinders, even the fifth-rank, top-grade supreme pill for Ning Wuyang wouldn’t be out of reach.
Time flew by, vanishing like a galloping steed!
During this period, Xu Yang never stepped out—any Spirit Elixirs he needed were all prepared by the Bai Family, personally delivered by Bai Jingxue.
Besides alchemy, he was only cultivating.
He didn’t give the slightest attention to any outside turmoil!
"Finally broke through."
Xu Yang slowly opened his eyes, exhaling a long, murky breath.
Breaking through from Early Stage of Yang Realm to Middle Stage of Yang Realm had consumed a terrifying amount of resources!
The spoils from his nine-match win streak in the Martial Marquis Xuantian Arena were all exhausted just to achieve the breakthrough.
Anyone else would have advanced to the Myriad Phenomena Realm by now!
Feeling his surging True Essence, Xu Yang’s heart was finally at ease.
The Purple Fire Celestial Prison may be terrifying, but with his current power, he was on par with the Early Stage of Myriad Phenomena Realm!
Especially his Spiritual Power—it could suppress ordinary Early Myriad Phenomena cultivators with ease!
That’s more than enough to handle all kinds of danger.
"I’ll stay here two more days, refine the rest of these Spirit Elixirs, then set out!"
Decision made, Xu Yang then took out the map Bai Jingxue had given him.
This map was no simple thing!
It was the result of years of explorations into the Purple Fire Celestial Prison by the Bai Family’s experts—something money couldn’t buy outside!
The map detailed the outer region of the Purple Fire Celestial Prison very precisely; golden markings indicated opportunities, while red ones meant danger—enough danger to easily wipe out Yang Realm cultivators, and there were dozens of such spots!
Deeper in, purple-red markings meant threats deadly even to Myriad Phenomena cultivators.
Xu Yang swept a glance and saw over twenty purple-red marks.
And that wasn’t even all!
Because the map wasn’t complete!
Moreover, because of the Heaven and Earth Spirit Array and the Great Zhou Heaven Qiankun Killing Array within the Forbidden Land, the environment could shift unpredictably. Those dangerous places might become even deadlier, and even safe zones might suddenly turn hazardous!
In short, one had to move with utmost caution!
After studying it for a while and committing it to memory, Xu Yang stowed the map and stood up to head outside.
"Huh? Where’s Bai Jingxue?"
Xu Yang glanced with suspicion at Bai Jingxue’s room, pondered for a moment, then left the small courtyard, making his way to the main hall.
Sensing the auras of several Bai Family Martial Artists approaching, Xu Yang’s figure flickered, hiding himself in the shadows.
Three young Bai clansmen walked down the path, chatting occasionally.
"Hey, do you think something bad will happen with Wuhou Hall suddenly showing up at our door?"
"Hard to say. Last time in the Northern Territory, our Bai Family did offend Wuhou Hall, and it’s been quiet ever since. Now they show up out of the blue..."
"How could it be our Bai Family’s fault? If anyone’s to blame, it ought to be Wuhou Hall for not being good enough!"
"Enough. This isn’t something we should be worrying about."
... 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
When the three had walked off, Xu Yang reappeared slowly, brows furrowing: "Wuhou Hall?"
"Why have they suddenly come to the Bai Family?"
"Could they have discovered my identity?"
But after a second thought, he felt it was impossible!
If they knew who he was, things wouldn’t be so calm!
A thought flashed, and Xu Yang strode toward the main hall.
Just as he reached one side of the hall, Xu Yang heard an icy, threatening voice from inside: "Mr. Bai, our Hall has already given your Bai Family a chance. This time, Wuhou Hall will show no mercy!"
Though he didn’t know what happened, the sheer threat in that voice was enough to make one’s heart pound with dread.
And Xu Yang found this voice all too familiar!
Zheng Qi’s master, Vice Hall Master Gon Lang of Wuhou Hall!
