I Can Fix My Talent in Hundred Lives-Chapter 385 - 312: Timely Rescue (Part 2)

The Beiji Immortal Mansion is a top-tier sect in the Three Extremes Domain, while the Bai Chu Sect is merely its subsidiary.

He was surrounded by a cool Dao Rhyme, separating the heatwaves of the Taiyang Law, and as he glanced over the panicked disciples of the Bai Chu Sect below, he spoke calmly:

"Sect Master Bai, Fellow Daoist Chu, Elder Jin Lie of the Golden-winged Roc Race has graced us with his presence, why have you not come out to pay respects?"

Bai Changqing and Chu Renxiong hurriedly flew into the air, bowing deeply, their postures extremely humble:

"We were unaware of the arrival of Elder Jin Lie and Fellow Daoist Xuanqing, please forgive us for not properly welcoming you."

The two were silently lamenting in their hearts—Elder Jin Lie not only possessed Late-Stage Void Refining Cultivation but also commanded top-tier Taiyang Law.

Whereas the two of them were just at the Early-stage of Void Refining, their enhanced Dao Domain just Middle Grade, a full suppression left them without even a thought of resistance.

Not to mention, the Beiji Immortal Mansion had been involved, which clearly indicated that the higher-ups of the Human Race had been notified.

Elder Jin Lie appeared as a middle-aged man donning Red Gold Battle Armor, his face as cold and sharp as a blade, with a burning golden Peng Bird mark at the center of his brows, his entire being encircled by faint Taiyang Fire, his gaze like lightning sweeping over the Bai Chu Sect.

Upon seeing the Golden Feather Demon Venerable held by two Divinity Transformation Cultivators behind the Mountain Protection Array, his eyes flooded with killing intent:

"Bai Changqing! My Golden-winged Roc Race has neither grievance nor enmity with your Bai Chu Sect, how dare you detain my clan’s member, who gave you such audacity?"

Before he finished speaking, Elder Jin Lie didn’t give Bai Changqing a chance to explain.

He clenched his right hand fiercely, and instantly a giant golden claw condensed in the void, its tips twined with Taiyang Fire, its body flowing with Taiyang Law Runes, roaring with a sharp whistle that tore through the air, directly slapping towards Bai Changqing and Chu Renxiong!

This claw seemed random but sealed off all of their escape routes, the extreme burning sensation prematurely enveloped them, making their mana flow sluggish.

"Not good!"

Bai Changqing’s face drastically changed, promptly activating all his mana, his Dao Domain evolving into a "Golden Cauldron," engraved with defensive runes.

Chu Renxiong dared not waste time, the Earth Element Dao Domain surged, forming a "Geomagnetic Mountain" shield in front, its walls coated with heavy Rock Armor.

"Boom!"

The golden claw slammed heavily against the defenses, the Golden Cauldron instantly melted by Taiyang Fire, while the Geomagnetic Mountain shattered into scorching rubble.

The two were struck as if heavy blows, their bodies flung back, crashing into the light shield of the Mountain Protection Array, causing it to shake violently before shattering with a roar, golden blood oozing simultaneously from the corners of their mouths.

Their Lifebound Essence Blood spewed out after their meridians were scorched by Taiyang Fire.

Their faces instantly turned pale as paper, their breath weakened substantially, they couldn’t even stand, merely barely floating in mid-air.

Elder Jin Lie snorted coldly, a flicker of his finger, a condensed golden Sword Light emerged, skimming through the air and precisely striking the Profound Iron Chains binding the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, dissolving them into molten iron instantly.

The Golden Feather Demon Venerable regained his freedom, hurrying to fly behind Elder Jin Lie, bowing low:

"Thank you, Elder, for the rescue!"

Elder Jin Lie patted his shoulder, his gaze returning arrogantly to the disheveled Bai Chu duo, his tone dripping with contempt:

"With your mere Early-stage Void Refining cultivation, and practicing a Middle Grade Law, you dare have designs on my Golden-winged Roc Race?"

"Were it not for Fellow Daoist Xuanqing’s presence today, I would have turned your Bai Chu Sect into scorched earth in an instant!"

Bai Changqing clutched his chest, continuously crying injustice:

"Since Young Friend Golden Feather was mistakenly stopped by our sect, I have never treated him harshly! The incense was ever-burning in Jingxin Pavilion, he dined on thousand-year Spirit Rice daily, even when hosting guests no more was offered!"

"My life span is near its end, only because I was anxious from failing to capture the stowaway, impetuously did I consider questioning Young Friend Golden Feather, barely a stick of incense had passed before Elder you arrived! It was by no means an intentional offense to your noble race!"

Chu Renxiong quickly nodded in agreement, pointing to the intact Jingxin Pavilion below, urgently saying:

"Elder Jin, please see reason! We have always treated Young Friend Golden Feather with respect, the cultivators of the Mountain Protection Array merely watching over him, never moved a hair on his head!"

"The earlier escort was truly circumstantial, by no means intentionally disrespectful! If Elder doesn’t believe, you might ask Young Friend Golden Feather himself!"

Elder Jin Lie frowned slightly, turning to look at the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, whose eyes flickered for a moment, quietly saying:

"Elder, they... indeed have not treated me harshly, only just wanted to escort me to the Soul Locking Prison..."

He didn’t finish his sentence, but it indirectly confirmed the previous hospitality of Bai Chu, lessening the killing intent in Elder Jin Lie’s eyes, yet he still coldly responded:

"Even with the previous hospitality, today’s action was wrong! My Golden-winged Roc Race member cannot be arbitrarily escorted by the likes of you!"

At this moment, the Taiyang Fire around Elder Jin Lie surged once more, as he prepared to act again.

Xuanqing Daoist stepped forward timely, gently waving a duster, a gentle moon-white Spirit Light blocking the spread of the Taiyang Fire, smoothing over the situation:

"Elder Jin Lie, calm your anger! Sect Master Bai’s words are true, the setup in Jingxin Pavilion is indeed fit for a guest."

"It seems that Sect Master Bai was momentarily overwhelmed by the Longevity Dao Tribulation, made an oversight when he issued the escort order, not intentionally antagonizing the Golden-winged Roc Race."

Then he turned to Bai Chu, speaking somberly:

"But Sect Master Bai’s action ultimately was improper, since Young Friend Golden Feather had already informed his clan, you should’ve awaited Elder Jin Lie’s arrival rather than rashly give orders. In this matter, you two indeed are at fault and must make amends."

Then advised Elder Jin Lie:

"Elder, the misunderstanding is now cleared, Sect Master Bai recognizes his error, the various clans in the Spirit Realm have alliances, the Taiyang Law’s power is immense, further fighting might affect the surrounding regions."

"Should that happen, the alliance between Humans and the Demon Race could grow strained, and spreading the news could tarnish the Elder’s reputation."

Bai Changqing and Chu Renxiong, though still feeling wronged, recognized this as the best opportunity for reconciliation, hurriedly bowing in apology.

Bai Changqing wiped away the Lifebound Essence Blood at his mouth, sincerely saying:

"It was my impatience that caused me to overstep, unintentionally offending your noble race, I hope Elder Jin Lie can be lenient."

"I am willing to offer five Tier Six Dao Crystals, five ten-thousand-year Spiritual Medicines, and a set of the ’Earth Vein Spirit Gathering Array’ map as compensation."

Chu Renxiong also quickly agreed: "We both accept full responsibility for today’s actions and dare not show any more disrespect to the Golden-winged Roc Race."

Elder Jin Lie snorted coldly, his gaze sweeping over Jingxin Pavilion below, the coldness in his eyes slightly diminished, yet fiercely warned:

"Deliver the compensation to my clan’s juniors; today I’ll spare you on account of Fellow Daoist Xuanqing and your prior hospitality."

"If you dare touch anyone from my Golden-winged Roc Race again, I will refine you both with Taiyang Fire, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

With that, he no longer looked at Bai Changqing, turning to Xuanqing Daoist, cupping his hands:

"Daoist friend, thank you for helping to lead the way, you are welcome to visit the Gilded Roc Nest in the future."

Xuanqing Daoist nodded slightly, and with the Golden Feather Demon Venerable, they transformed into a streak of golden light, vanishing into a Void Rift, and as it sealed, the overwhelming pressure of the Taiyang retreated completely.

Bai Changqing and Chu Renxiong remained frozen in mid-air, gazing down at the sect below, ravaged by the waves of solar heat, while feeling the scorched meridians within.

The injustice and humiliation tangled within their hearts, more painful than the blow from Elder Jin Lie.

Chu Renxiong sighed bitterly: "Brother, this is truly a huge injustice, we’ve hosted well for half a month, yet due to a stick of incense’s instruction, we end up like this."

Bai Changqing took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the resentment and injustice within, a mad determination flashing in his eyes:

"Injustice or not? Powerless in strength, we are doomed to suffer humiliation!"

"Order all spies, hidden and affiliated forces, to mobilize. Even if we scour every inch of the Huangqiu Plain, dig three feet into the ground, we must find Daoist Life-Annihilating and Chen Xihua!"

Chu Renxiong exhaled a long breath, glancing at Bai Changqing’s almost frenzied eyes, secretly sighing.

Referencing Zuo Xuan’s self-destruction, Carefree’s breakout, it’s highly likely Daoist Life-Annihilating and Chen Xihua have long fled Huangqiu Plain.

Yet he dared not vocalize this thought, for breaking Bai Changqing’s last hope might drive the Taiyang Fire-scorched, wronged, and resentful Void Refining Cultivator to madness.
