"Who is this Candle Dragon you’re talking about?"
Overwhelmed with curiosity, Baili Qingyu couldn’t help but ask, "I’ve never heard of the Candle Dragon. Are we, the Baili Family, supposed to be afraid of him?"
Baili Tong hurriedly responded, "To inform the Saintess, the Candle Dragon is the Guardian Beast of the Medicine God Hall!"
"Medicine God Hall?" Baili Qingyu shuddered violently, her eyes widening to the extreme.
Seeing Baili Qingyu’s terrified expression, Baili Jinghong said, "The existence of the Medicine God Hall should be known to the Saintess, and its might is something the Saintess should also be aware of."
"Regarding the existence of the Medicine God Hall, even if our Baili Family were to join forces with the three major cultivation families, we wouldn’t be a match for the Medicine God Hall. But this isn’t the true reason I’m asking the Saintess to leave."
Baili Qingyu looked towards Gu Chenfeng, her heart in shock, thinking, "The Candle Dragon is beside him, could it be that Gu Chenfeng is from the Medicine God Hall?"
If Gu Chenfeng really is from the Medicine God Hall, wouldn’t that mean the Baili Family is finished?
The more Baili Qingyu thought about it, the more terrified she became, only now realizing the severity of the situation.
"Medicine God Hall..." Baili Zhantian’s face also appeared fearful.
Though the Baili Family is extremely powerful, it is insignificant in front of the Medicine God Hall.
Baili Jinghong again respectfully said, "The Candle Dragon is that person’s steed, and it was supposed to be sealed in the deepest part of the Desolate Realm and hasn’t left for millennia, as every patriarch knows."
Baili Zhantian forcefully suppressed his fear and said solemnly, "Continue."
Baili Tong and Baili Sanshen among others turned their gazes towards Baili Jinghong.
They finally understood that Baili Jinghong must know something; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so terrified, nor would he have asked Baili Qingyu and the clansmen to leave immediately.
Baili Jinghong continued respectfully, "The origin of the three major races is relatively late, so they are unaware of the Candle Dragon’s existence. Not long ago, the Fire Spirit Race sealed off the depths of the Desolate Realm, likely sensing the Candle Dragon’s Ancient Fire Attribute."
"But shortly after, the Fire Spirit Race suddenly left the Desolate Realm, and the deepest seal was broken, indicating that the Candle Dragon had already left the Desolate Realm by then."
"Not long after the Candle Dragon left the sealed place, the Medicine God Hall emerged, which is definitely not a coincidence. This strongly suggests that person has returned."
"Could it be that person?" Baili Zhantian was greatly shaken, seemingly having guessed the answer.
"No way? How could this be possible? Didn’t that person ascend? How could he return?" Baili Tong and the Three Venerables’ expressions changed dramatically.
"Ascension? That person? Gu Chenfeng? Could it be..." Baili Qingyu’s face turned to stone, an incredibly intense fear surging within her.
Baili Qingyu seemed to have guessed who it was.
And precisely because she guessed who it was, Baili Qingyu became even more terrified, losing her previous arrogant demeanor, replaced by endless fear.
What Baili Zhantian and the others didn’t know was that the person they spoke of was right before their eyes.
Baili Jinghong once more respectfully said, "Patriarch, that young man is called Gu Chenfeng."
"What? He’s called Gu Chenfeng?" Baili Zhantian was greatly shocked, eyes widening as he looked at Gu Chenfeng.
Baili Jinghong respectfully said, "His Ice Attribute is identical to that person. Although he’s not that person, he must be connected to him."
"Just now, when I wanted to save the Young Master, my Spiritual Power was instantly sealed, and my body was trapped by a terrifying invisible force."
"I couldn’t even sense the presence of terrifying experts in the shadows, entirely unable to sense anything, yet my body couldn’t move, and my Spiritual Power was sealed. Such terrifying strength can only be of the Mahayana Stage."
"Mahayana Stage of the Medicine God Hall!" Baili Zhantian shuddered, his entire body turning to stone, his face full of intense fear, as if seeing a ghost.
In Baili Zhantian’s mind, a graceful figure appeared.
The appearance of this graceful figure pushed Baili Zhantian’s terror to its peak. Newest update provıded by 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅✦𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾✦𝗇𝖾𝗍
Baili Qingyu fearfully guessed, "The ancestor or the Vice Hall Master of the Medicine God Hall?"
"No," Baili Jinghong shook his head and said, "We aren’t worthy of that person’s action. Although Yao Xuan has broken through to the Mahayana Stage, he’s an Alchemist. His strength is at most on par with the Patriarch."
"Apart from that person, there’s another terrifying expert in the Medicine God Hall, one you should all be able to guess."
"Ice Phoenix!" Baili Tong’s eyes widened as he exclaimed.
"Ice Phoenix!" The Three Venerables were scared out of their wits.
"Yes," Baili Jinghong frowned and said, "This is the real reason I asked the Saintess to leave. The expert in the shadows must be her. Her strength is terrifying; even the ancestor of the Yin Yang Family is no match for her."
"Isn’t the Ice and Snow Phoenix in the Frozen World?" Baili Qingyu was dumbstruck, unable to describe her current fear.
"We might have had a chance to leave earlier, but now it’s too late," Baili Jinghong shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Baili Qingyu regretted it deeply.
She never expected that just seeking revenge alone would offend the terrifying Medicine God Hall.
Now, not only has the revenge failed, but the entire Baili Family has been put at risk.
Looking at the terrified Baili Zhantian, Gu Chenfeng calmly asked, "Why aren’t you speaking? Where’s your earlier bravado?"
Hearing Gu Chenfeng’s arrogant words, Baili Zhantian’s complexion turned slightly dark, kindling anger within, but he didn’t speak.
Baili Jinghong, Baili Qingyu, and all the Baili Family members looked terrified, not daring to make a sound.
Knowing the presence of the Candle Dragon, and with the Medicine God Hall behind them, which Baili Family member wouldn’t be afraid?
Seeing no one speak, Gu Chenfeng asked again, "I killed your grandson and disabled your grandson-in-law. I’m right here now; aren’t you going to seek revenge?"
Baili Zhantian, suppressing the anger in his heart, clasped his fists towards Gu Chenfeng and said, "Young man, the Baili Family has offended greatly today. This old man here apologizes to you, hoping that this matter can be settled peacefully."
Seeing this gesture and hearing Baili Zhantian’s words, all but the Baili Family members were utterly shocked.
The dignified Patriarch of the Baili Family apologized to Gu Chenfeng without even making a move.
Gu Chenfeng had just killed Baili Feiyun and recently disabled Dongfang Qing’s Sea of Qi, and now he sought an apology from Gu Chenfeng.
"An apology?" Dongfang Yehuo and others from the Myriad Swords Sect were dumbfounded.
"The Patriarch of the Baili Family, a Mahayana Stage expert, actually apologized to that kid Gu Chenfeng?" Tian Kui was left gaping, utterly stunned.
"I never expected Baili Zhantian would apologize," the Ghost King was quite surprised.
Mad Elder smiled slightly, "No matter how strong the Baili Family is, it can’t surpass the Medicine God Hall. Today, they stumbled."
Ghost Master grinned coldly, "That kid likely won’t let the Baili Family off easily."
"I don’t need your apology," Gu Chenfeng said expressionlessly, "I’ll give you two paths. First, from today, the Baili Family submits to me and is incorporated into the Medicine God Hall."
"Second, the Baili Family will cease to exist today!"
"Submit to you? Incorporated into the Medicine God Hall?" Baili Zhantian was bewildered.
The Baili Family members were all bewildered.
