The Invincible Corruption Manual-Chapter 316 CHAPTER 315: The Appearance Of Bai Tien!
"Bai Zhen, oh, alright, what is it? Did he cause more problems this time?" The Patriarch asked and reassured him, "You can tell me all the truth."
Bai Zhilong, the patriarch of the Great Gong Clan totally mistook Bai Li's words thinking that his clan's one in a million genius Bai Zhen had acted up again, causing trouble for others during his trip to the forbidden ground of the Hundred Valleys Of Poison as he always did and they all used to cover his ass, cleaning all the messes Bai Zhen left behind wherever he went.
Hearing his words made Bai Li become more uneasy as this was really a contrast matter to report to him unlike before. But still, he needed to report it to him. So he brought out all his courage and said finally, "Patriarch, Bai Zhen, umm-Bai Zhen is dead."
The serene atmosphere inside the hall became so gloomy all of a sudden as an unusual aura appeared and pressed over the elder Bai Li, making him drenched in cold sweat all over his body. And the next moment, the terrifying aura was retracted and soon replaced with the seraphic presence in the room like before.
But the serene atmosphere like before made elder Bai Li uneasy and extremely awkward as he didn't know whether to continue his report as the Patriarch Bai Zhilong still didn't spill out a single word for a couple of minutes.
The youth wearing the all-white Daoist robe finally heaved out a heavy sigh, calming himself down, and said, "Alright, you can continue."
"Sir, according to our thorough investigation, it turned out that the culprit was none other than a rookie disciple of the Hall of Alchemy, called Joey. Not only Bai Zhen but all the disciples of our clan who joined the trip for the Redcliffe mountain were killed by a strange lady who followed Joey. " Elder Bai Li further continued, "I also received a recent letter from one of our envoys stationed inside the Inviolable Fire Clan. It says, during the fight between that evildoer Joey and Bai Zhen, there were also those groups from the Inviolable Fire Clan watching their fight. And a rumor was currently spread in the Inviolable Fire Clan that Joey was an archer and he even defeated Bai Zhen fair and square even in the archery shooting speed which was Bai Zhen's forth and finally killed him for slandering licentious words over his woman beside him. "
"Hah, someone defeated Bai Zhen in the archery shooting speed!" The youth exclaimed for the first time, and he continued, "That is…that is impossible. Even I lost in Bai Zhen's hands one time before. Then this means only one thing the boy is one hell of a good archer. Why are you wasting your time coming here? Go and make him join our clan using any means possible."
"About that, I have just returned back from meeting him. Patriarch, that brat is so stubborn and obnoxious. I have offered him to join our ranks and even tried to tempt him using several resources in your name. But he just declined everything. And finally, I came to understand that he will never agree to my proposal. So I even tried persuading him even to the point of threatening him that we could easily wipe out his whole family from the face of the earth within a night. But he still didn't give in. So I'm here as a member of the elder committee to ask your wise opinion about how we should do with this brat? "
"Elder Bai Li, you must have already known our ancestral teaching, right. We should always gather all those genius archers in our clan in this world without any reason. If they refused then we make them into examples showing to the world that as a genius archer, it is mandatory for every one of them to join our clan. Otherwise, we killed them and placed their head as a trophy for everyone to see." Bai Zilong, the patriarch further added, "So Jeoy is no different. But he is one of the finest ever archers we witness in this era. Even I thought he might have already surpassed the level of our ancestor Bai Tien. So let's not go to the extreme decision for now. I have another idea about how to tame that wild boy. Do you just say that we have all the intel of that Boy regarding his family? "
"Yes, it's here." Bai Li replied, took out a booklet, and passed it at the youth before him.
Bai Zilong the patriarch, caught it by the air and began to read them gingerly, flipping from one page to another until the last page and said, "Hmm, this is good. The information on it is so thorough like a fine-tooth comb. Alright, send a brigade and killed all the citizens living in Canon city and but don't kill anyone with the surname Tang. This will teach that boy a good lesson. And we will use them as leverage to make the boy join us. "
"Patriarch, I thought this plan will be more feasible and be full-proof." Bai Li replied, sucking up to him and trying to gain his favor. 𝘧𝗿ee𝚠𝙚𝙗𝑛o𝚟𝐞l.𝐜૦𝗺
"Alright, elder Bai Li, you can leave now. " Patriarch, Bai Zilong instructed him.
Elder Bai Li made one last bow at him, stood up, and was almost about to take his leave.
"Wait!" Bai Zilong the patriarch halted him and further continued, "From now onward, I like someone from our side to spy on him all the time. Also, give me all the reports regarding that directly to me. I will handle everything myself this time. Do inform about my decision to the Elders committee, too? " He then waved his sleeve and soon a light breeze blow around the vast hall and the next moment, a large circle portal opened up.
"Thank you, patriarch." Bai Li once again bowed at him and entered inside the black portal and next instant the large portal also disappeared from inside the room, leaving only the youth wearing the all-white Daoist robe.
"Do you hear that master? This boy must be the one, you always talked about, right?" Bai Zilong said in a very polite way unlike the moment before.
Space began to fluctuate and soon another youth who seemed to be in his early 20s appeared out of blue and sat on the cultivation mat Bai Li sat before, unceremoniously. He wore a yellow color Daoist robe. As soon as he appeared the faint seraphic presence inside the room rapidly increase as the previous feeling the elder Bai Li had felt was not from the patriarch Bai Zilong but from the youth appearing just now. He was none other than the founder of the Great Gong Clan, Bai Tien who was also the strongest man in the Ancestral Armament world that was known to every cultivator.
"Hmm, I need to meet him personally to see whether he is the real one first with my own eyes first. " The youth wearing the yellow Daoist robe replied calmly. "But, I'm curious to know of your thinking. Don't you hate that boy for killing your protege that you are so proud of and treasure the most?" he asked, looking at him meaningfully. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚
The patriarch Bai Zilong pondered for a while and replied, "Master, you are overthinking it. Yes, the first moment I heard the news of Bai Zhen's death, I thought of killing that person as an act of revenge for my disciple. But sadly, it's unfortunate that the one who kill him was none other than an archer himself which tightened my hands. Anyway, Bai Zhen is already dead, and killing that boy will not bring him back to life. In short, master you can keep your mind at rest, I know my priority and will never betray you by trying to harm that boy in anyways and hinder your long plan just simply for trash."
"Good, you are truly my best disciple. " Bai Tien replied, " Hahaha, but don't you think it's too cold-hearted even for you to think like that?"
"Hee hee hee, what do you think? I learn the best from you, master." Bai Zilong, the current patriarch of the Great Gong Clan replied.
Bai Tien looked at him seriously and said, " Alright, I hope that you keep that up. Do your best this time. " He paused and further added, "Long Er, you better take care of yourself this time more carefully. You know you are the last one of my kin and also my disciple. And I don't like to lose you, too. I feel that an ominous current was currently beginning to flow in the essence qi air of our world and this foreboding feeling was gradually increasing day by day. And we need to prepare before it was too late or I believe we will also soon become the topsoil."
"I understand master." Bai Zilong replied politely. "But I have something in my mind all this time."
"What is it?" Bai Tien responded casually.
"Master, why are you so adamant to find the finest archer in this world? We have now found one. What is your next plan? " Bai Zilong asked.
