Celestial Refining Divine Scripture-Chapter 221 - 219: You’re Overestimating Yourself

Gon Lang is more than qualified to represent Wuhou Hall!

Xu Yang’s expression darkened, but he kept listening!

Mr. Bai’s furious shout came right after: "Wuhou Hall is taking things way too far!"

"Too far? Hmph!"

"If Wuhou Hall wants to be ruthless, so what?"

"The Chen Family is gone. With one less powerhouse among the three great families of Central State, I think a lot of people would be very happy!"

"Don’t tell me you really think Xu Yang and Liou Yunfeng alone can protect your Bai Family?"

A disapproving laugh echoed as Gon Lang mocked them inside the hall.

In the grand chamber, Mr. Bai’s face turned ashen with fury.

He’d expected Wuhou Hall to target the Bai Family, but he didn’t expect them to show up after several months with such blunt force! 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

The Bai Family wasn’t without some hidden cards!

But faced with the scene before him, things were grim.

Because Wuhou Hall was letting Gon Lang take charge himself—it meant they truly planned to intervene in the family conflict directly!

Before, even if Wuhou Hall took sides, they’d never interfere so openly.

This goes against all custom!

But seeing Gon Lang’s attitude this time, it was clear he wasn’t just bluffing!

Wuhou Hall was flipping the table, and the Bai Family had no way to contend with it.

"Father, I won’t agree to this!"

Bai Jingxue glared at Gon Lang and Zheng Qi in rage, then looked at Mr. Bai and spoke with resolve.

Mr. Bai’s heart gave a jolt, snapping him awake!

Yes!

This was no moment for wavering.

No matter the brutal cost.

"Miss Bai, this isn’t up to you!"

Zheng Qi sneered; he wasn’t one to lust after women, but Bai Jingxue’s looks were indeed outstanding.

And, she had an unclear connection with Xu Yang!

Claiming Bai Jingxue would give him twisted pleasure—just to spite Xu Yang.

"Mr. Bai, this marriage contract was written by the Hall Master himself!"

"You better think it over!"

Gon Lang slapped a marriage contract onto the table, eyes cold and fixed on Mr. Bai!

Mr. Bai’s pupils shrank. A trace of helplessness flashed across his face as he sighed inwardly.

"Sorry, I refuse!"

He stared at Gon Lang, shaking his head coldly.

The hall was instantly plunged into dead silence!

The suffocating tension made it hard to breathe!

Bai Song and the rest of the Bai Family elders all fell silent. From beginning to end, not one person opposed Mr. Bai’s decision!

The Bai Family had only one path left!

March into darkness—with no turning back!

Suddenly Gon Lang grinned: "Such spirit, Mr. Bai. I just wonder, when your Bai Family’s gone, how you’ll face your ancestors!"

"That’s nothing for Mr. Gon to fret over." Mr. Bai showed no emotion, lifting his teacup as if to signal the guests to leave!

Gon Lang’s eyes grew cold, and he sneered: "I’m here on orders from the Hall Master—if the Bai Family refuses, I need to take something back to report!"

Crack!

Mr. Bai’s face twitched, the cup in his grasp webbed with cracks.

He locked eyes with Gon Lang—glowering!

Gon Lang’s grin deepened, casting a mocking gaze over the room, meeting the furious stares of the Bai Family as he said indifferently: "Anyone in this hall will do!"

"So, who should I pick?"

"Try it!"

Mr. Bai abruptly shot to his feet, his gaze sharp as a blade.

The room was instantly charged with hostility, the tension drawn taut!

Invisible pressure forced Bai Jingxue to tremble uncontrollably, barely able to breathe!

This aura alone—if any ordinary Yang Realm Martial Artist were here, it would shatter their nerves!

"I’ll try then! I’m not here to joke around!"

Gon Lang slowly rose, indifferent, with a cold laugh, eyes fixed directly on Bai Song: "Mr. Bai is clearly the best choice!"

It was Bai Song who’d led the team to Beixuan City!

He’d made the call right on the spot!

"Try laying a finger on Mr. Bai and see what happens?"

A cold voice suddenly cut in from outside.

"Who’s there?"

Gon Lang’s brows knitted as he looked sideways.

Bai Jingxue and the others paled as they heard this voice.

Some wanted to intervene but it was already too late!

A figure strode boldly into the hall!

"Who are you?"

Zheng Qi stared at Xu Yang, unsure and wary.

At that moment, Xu Yang was still posing as Huang Wu!

"My name is Huang Wu!"

Xu Yang grinned.

"What? You’re Huang Wu?"

"And with the Bai Family..."

Zheng Qi’s face twisted, blurting out in disbelief.

Wuhou Hall had searched for Huang Wu for a month—and he was in the Bai Family?

This was very bad news!

Given how much Wuhou Hall valued Huang Wu, if he was close to the Bai Family...

Gon Lang was thinking the same thing!

He narrowed his eyes at Xu Yang: "If you were to join Wuhou Hall..."

"Join Wuhou Hall?"

Xu Yang snorted with disdain: "With a bunch of pretentious, shameless dogs like you? You think I’d ever join?"

Gon Lang exploded in fury: "You arrogant bastard!"

A flood of spiritual force burst out, shaking the chamber as if they were atop a raging sea, threatening to overturn everything!

Xu Yang turned pale, but stood firm—steady as a mountain!

Suddenly, Bai Jingxue tugged at Xu Yang, biting her lip and shaking her head.

Xu Yang understood—Bai Jingxue was trying to tell him not to reveal himself!

But now, he couldn’t just watch from the sidelines!

The Bai Family was on the brink of annihilation!

All because of him!

"Wait—you, who are you?" Gon Lang suddenly frowned, his eyes razor-sharp.

He sensed something was off!

The aura on Xu Yang matched, but his shape and face seemed off!

"I’m not just Huang Wu—I’m also..." With a thought, Xu Yang dissolved the Transformation Skill and revealed his true appearance. He grinned at the stunned Gon Lang and Zheng Qi: "Xu Yang!"

Boom!

Zheng Qi’s body jolted, his Sea of Consciousness roaring, his eyes bloodshot.

"Xu Yang—it’s you!"

"You filthy mongrel dare swagger into Wuhou Hall—I’ll kill you!"

"Stand down!"

Just as Zheng Qi moved to strike, Gon Lang barked a sharp order!

"Master..." Zheng Qi looked at Gon Lang, confused!

Gon Lang’s face was grim, but as Vice Hall Master of Wuhou Hall, though shocked, he kept a shred of composure!

Xu Yang, here in Central State!

Under an alias, and making such a name for himself in Wuhou Hall!

Damn it all!

A deadly intent flickered in his eyes as he sneered at Xu Yang: "The rumors were true—Xu Yang, arrogant beyond measure, but loyal and righteous; to save the Bai Family you’d even expose yourself!"

"How touching."

He shot Bai Jingxue a mocking glance!

Bai Jingxue looked deathly pale, despairing!

Everyone in the Bai Family glared with fury!

Bai Song exchanged a look with the Clan Leader—both saw the resolute fire in the other’s eyes!

Xu Yang cannot die!

The Bai Family could scatter, but if Xu Yang lived, they’d rise again!

"Never expected this trip to bring such a surprise."

"Xu Yang—no one will save you. Celestial Guard City is our Wuhou Hall’s stronghold!"

Gon Lang’s face grew ferocious!

Xu Yang sneered: "Don’t speak too soon!"

Gon Lang frowned, suddenly wary.

Could this bastard have something else planned?

As Gon Lang’s wariness grew, Xu Yang’s eyes turned even more mocking: "Relax—it’s just me!"

"But don’t you think you’re overestimating yourself?"

"What did you say?"

Gon Lang’s eyes flared, seething with rage!

He was barely restraining himself from attacking.

This kid was outrageously arrogant!

Driving him mad with rage!
