The faint voice drifted through the air, piercing the ears of Bai Yunxiao and the others.
Their brows furrowed in unison, their hearts tightening with a sudden surge of worry. As one, their gazes snapped toward the source of the voice, their expressions mirroring each other in a mix of disbelief and concern.
"HUH!"
"HUH!"
"WHAT!"
"HMM!"
Their reactions, though varied in tone, carried a subtle similarity, a shared undercurrent of shock.
But the most unsettling response came from Bai Yunxiao. His face twisted into a mask of fury, his eyes blazing with an almost manic intensity.
"You unfilial nephew! How dare you!" he roared, his voice trembling with a volatile mix of anger and desperation.
His body moved before his mind could catch up, his fist swinging out in a wild, impulsive arc. A torrent of immortal energy erupted from his palm, surging toward Xiao Ming with terrifying speed.
