Chapter 166 Heart Control Demon Sound
Chapter 166 Heart Control Demon Sound
Today's farce that happened in the Bai Family was destined to be unknown, but when a portion of the Bai Family left Spirit City, there were still people who noticed.
The undercurrents in the dark seemed to be even more intense. One careless move, and even the scale of the Three Great Families inside the city could be reduced to ashes!
The one-month deadline arrived as scheduled.
October.
The summer's heat had subsided somewhat, but the lingering heat still remained. The nights in this season were considerably longer than the days.
Tonight, the full moon hung high in the sky, dispelling a portion of the darkness.
The autumn wind was bleak, causing the Bamboo Forest to resonate in unison. In the dark night, it seemed as if an ominous atmosphere enveloped the entire Spirit City.
Until a great fire dispelled everything.
"It's bad, it's bad... something big has happened."
Spirit City Lord's Mansion.
Wang Yu changed into a crow-green, waist-cinching, narrow-sleeved, embellished robe that made him look more mature, and wore a twilight-cloud-grey, plain-faced carefree robe over it. The back hem trailed on the ground, adding a bit of majesty and solemnity out of thin air.
A head of snow-white silver hair was gathered at the back of his head with a red ribbon.
Under the moonlight, the young man held a black ink flute. It seemed that dark grey sound currents were fleeing and scattering from the flute's holes, sometimes melodious and pleasant to hear, sometimes shrill and unbearable.
Immortal music lingered, demonic sounds pierced the ears.
As if switching between two extremes, making people flushed at times, lonely at others, with restless emotions, extremely easy to get lost in the notes.
It was Wang Yu who, after his Spiritual Sense Cultivation Realm breakthrough, was practicing the more skillful Heart Control Demon Sound.
And the one who rushed over rashly was Xiang Xiang, the only Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Cloud Dream Pavilion.
"City Lord, City Lord! Fire Dragon Burns the Granary... outside."
"Speak slowly."
Wang Yu reached out and raised his hand slightly, and Xiang Xiang, who was about to bow and salute, straightened up. She couldn't help but blush as she looked at him. After a moment of absentmindedness, she quickly reacted, her tone carrying a bit of annoyance.
"Bai Family, they are so shameless. They clearly promised to send the Spirit Stones due today, but at this time, Fire Dragon Burns the Granary happened, and the Accounting Room of the Bai Family Mansion was completely burned."
"The entire Front Yard has become a white ground. They said that Heavenly Timing is not on your side, and they can't do anything about it. They can only wait for the next five years to pay Spirit Stones again."
Fire Dragon Burns the Granary, burning away all the old debts of the past.
No one can calculate how many Spirit Stones the Bai Family has earned in the past five years to evade taxes. Purely from a strategic point of view, their choice is actually correct.
But they shouldn't have, in any case, underestimated Wang Yu's vengeful heart.
He gave the Bai Family a chance, but they mocked him like this. Since that's the case, he doesn't need to show mercy.
After pausing for a moment, seeing that Xiang Xiang didn't continue, he took the initiative to ask, "Besides the Bai Family, which other family had their granary burned by Fire Dragon?"
"This—"
"When I came, it seemed that the Guan Family Residence had also gathered many people, but the commotion wasn't as big. There was no movement from the Jiang Family."
"Very good, I'll go out for a while."
"Go... go out?"
Xiang Xiang was a little confused and asked doubtfully.
"Aren't you afraid they'll attack you?"
"Hahaha, afraid? Have you forgotten what place this is? In Spirit City, the Three Great Families should be begging me not to have an accident, rather than harming my life."
Having said that, Wang Yu's figure disappeared into Mid-air.
Leaving Xiang Xiang standing in place, frowning and pondering, she seemed to have thought of the causal Logic within.
The three factions are Outside the City, he is powerless, so he granted great Authority, which is a temporary expedient.
The three clans are Inside the City, he can act mercilessly, but the other side does not dare to really kill him, otherwise, once the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect cleansing squad arrives, Spirit City can be rebuilt.
"So that's how it is!"
...
...
Bai Family Residence.
As one of the Three Spirit Clans, the Bai Family occupies half of the Southern District. Within the Clan, the Energy Condensation Cultivators who can be considered full-time exceed a thousand people.
Foundation Establishment Cultivators, excluding the Ancestor, they have six people.
The Family Head is dead, leaving five. Among them, the Great Elder of the Bai Family is the highest at the Ninth Layer of Foundation Establishment, the Second Elder is at the Seventh Layer, the Third Elder is at the Sixth Layer, and the two at the Third Layer are middle-aged generation and have not yet been listed among the Family Clan Elders.
The further back in rank, the younger the age. As for the new generation, no Foundation Establishment Cultivator has yet appeared.
At this moment, looking at the Front Yard burned to white ground, the Great Elder of the Bai Family then sent people to put out the fire, and said disdainfully.
"You greenhorn brat, how dare you fight against my Bai Family alone."
The other Elders echoed in agreement.
"Great Elder of the Bai Family's plan is brilliant. If we don't show him some color, the world will think my Bai Family is incompetent. After today, let's see who dares to gossip!!"
"Indeed, indeed, it should be so."
"Our Bai Clan is originally the head of the Three Spirit Clans. Why should we listen to an outsider like him?"
Among the crowd, many Bai Clan disciples also gathered. Some people remembered the recent departure from the city of the third branch disciples and their Return to the Ancestral Residence for seclusion, and felt a hidden unease in their hearts.
Further out, on the Great Path wide enough for twelve carriages to travel side by side, many Cultivators watching the excitement stood. At the entrances of shops, on pavilions, and even on the Rooftop, people were sitting and watching the show.
Inside the Residence.
The Great Elder of the Bai Family took a deep look at the Clan Members.
Although he used the "I have a plan" approach to act recklessly, he was not actually a complete ignoramus without any understanding of the background.
Asking the Ancestor to leave was both to seize power and to leave a Bloodline for the Bai Clan.
He knew Wang Yu could not die in Spirit City.
Otherwise, the entire Bai Family would be to blame and would definitely be implicated.
But he can't die, he can be captured! As long as this person is imprisoned, the Bai Family can obtain the real City Lord's Token of Spirit City. With his Foundation in the local area, plus the help of the Nether Springs Temple.
As long as the Tribute is paid on time, his Bai Family's Faction will expand to an unprecedented level.
Therefore, with this plan of Fire Dragon Burns the Granary, he also intended to lure Wang Yu out of the City Lord's Mansion.
Even the Tuoba Family could occupy the City Lord's Mansion for a hundred years without incident. He didn't believe the Bai Family couldn't deceive the Saint Sect. If it really came to a critical moment, completely leaning towards the Nether Springs Temple would also be possible.
After all, Spirit City is located at the easternmost edge of Cloud Ridge State, extremely close to Dark Province, which is the territory of the Nether Springs Temple. The border itself is not very clear.
Today, you swallow a few inches of land, tomorrow I swallow a few inches of your land, these are common occurrences.
Of course.
Thinking about these things now is too far-reaching. The Great Elder of the Bai Family shook his head, completely dispersing his Spiritual Sense power, constantly vigilant for Wang Yu's arrival.
As time passed, the crowd of onlookers gradually dispersed, unable to understand what drama the Bai Family was putting on.
And some clever people had already moved away from this place, fearing being splashed with blood.
Midnight Hour, Midnight Hour.
The Two-Hour Period when the Nether Yin Energy between heaven and earth is at its heaviest. The moon on the treetop, the Bamboo shadows dancing.
The three Elders of the Bai Family and two middle-aged men all stayed in the courtyard, waiting for the opportunity to arrive. The younger generation of the Clan had already returned to their rooms to rest. Under the silent night, even the sounds of insects had disappeared.
The momentum of an impending storm became increasingly obvious.
"Whoosh—"
The ethereal flute sound came from Who Knows Where. The Great Elder of the Bai Family paced back and forth impatiently in the Scenery Pavilion. The other Elders were also dizzied by his pacing.
"Great Elder of the Bai Family, why so Impatient?"
"Yes, whether that kid comes or not, we'll still achieve our goals. There's no use being Impatient."
"Hmph."
In the midst of flicking his sleeves, the Great Elder of the Bai Family realized that his heart was not calm enough. He just wanted to sit down, but then worried about the Bai Family's future again, and could only Continuously comfort himself.
This is an Overt Scheme, it's bound to succeed!
Seeing that half of Midnight Hour had passed, in the Bai Family Residence lit by the eternal lamps, sounds of rustling suddenly arose from Who Knows When.
Under the silhouette of the Window Lattice, human figures flickered.
Revealing a bit of eeriness.
"Whoosh—"
The ethereal flute sound seemed to be approaching, becoming clearer and clearer.
"What's going on?"
Even if their nerves were relaxed, the Elders also noticed something was wrong. Suddenly, the Third Elder shouted towards a dark corner:
"Xuan-er, is that you? Why are you still wandering outside so late?"
In the darkness.
A gorgeously dressed young man revealed a strange smile, his eyes emitting bloodthirsty red light, the corners of his mouth smeared with blood, and meat fibers seemed to be stuck in his teeth.
The Elders present were all Foundation Establishment Great Cultivators. Seeing in the dark in ordinary darkness was still possible. Seeing this, they all broke out in cold sweat.
"Bai Xuan's condition is not right, quickly look behind him!"
The Great Elder of the Bai Family took a step forward, instantly appearing behind Bai Xuan, slapped him and knocked him unconscious. He walked to the corner and completely pulled out the legs in the darkness.
In an instant.
Everyone's expression changed.
"This... this is... Meng-er!"
It could be seen that what the Great Elder of the Bai Family pulled out was actually the best of the younger generation of the Bai Family, a Three Spiritual Roots genius named Bai Meng, but at this time, on her beautiful face, there was only a lifeless pallor.
A gash had been opened between her chest and abdomen, and all her internal organs had disappeared.
The Third Elder swayed on his feet, almost fainting.
She pointed at Bai Xuan tremblingly.
"He... his mouth... in his stomach."
"Caw caw~"
Several crows flew across the Sky, Enveloping an ominous Shadow in everyone's hearts. The Great Elder of the Bai Family's face was even more gloomy, as if water could drip from it.
"Wang Yu, it's definitely Wang Yu's Means!"
"Damn it, he actually attacked the younger generation."
In fact, Person Wang is also of the younger generation, but no one here will speak up for him. If they did, it would really Became a hellish joke.
"Quick, you two go check on the situation of the Clan Disciples."
"Third Elder, Second Elder, you go activate the Clan Formation, be sure not to let him run away, capture him alive!"
"Yes—"
Everyone accepted the order and quickly began to act.
The Great Elder of the Bai Family then ascended straight into the night Sky, his eyes gloomy and fierce, sweeping across every building in the Clan, trying to use his powerful Spiritual Sense to find Wang Yu's figure.
However.
Possessing the dual concealment of Invisibility Technique + Breathless Incantation, in front of Wang Yu, who had been thinking about how to hide himself since Step Into the Path of Cultivation, even if a Core Formation Cultivator came, they might not necessarily be able to catch him.
Time passed minute by minute. He could feel the Aura of many Clan Disciples disappearing, but Once he chased after them, he could only see scenes of Clan Members killing each other.
Still, it was the most bizarre and terrifying death by cannibalism!
One person eats, the other person is motionless, like wood, allowing former Clan Members to devour them, until death approaches, the dullness in their eyes will turn into horror.
This is a case of the barefoot not being afraid of those wearing shoes. The Great Elder of the Bai Family was filled with regret.
He had calculated everything, but he had forgotten to ponder Wang Yu's character. This, in fact, had already begun to show clues when the other party had just arrived at Spirit City.
He had just ignored it.
"No... no... you can't do this to me!"
Just as his eyes were about to split and he was on the verge of madness, the voice he had been dreaming of sounded like heavenly music, finally appearing in his ears.
"Oh—"
"You have something to say?"
