Immortal of the Nine Realms

Chapter 243: Is This the Bai Clan?

The Eight Barrens Immortal Subjugation Peerless Swordsmanship is indeed formidable but its a bit too much if it destroys even the storage ring. What a loss! Fang Chen sighed.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator was bound to have good stuff in their storage rings. It was a pity that his earlier attack had been too strong.

Little sword: Hungry, hungry! I want to eat!

Lets make a trip to the Bai Clan. Lets see how generous they can be. Fang Chen smiled.

Little sword was excited. It flew into Fang Chens body, and Fang Chen suddenly had a rather peculiar feeling.

Liu Mu, close your eyes. The wind might be a little strong, Fang Chen grabbed Liu Mu by the shoulder and instructed.

Liu Mu quickly closed his eyes.

A sharp glint flashed across Fang Chens body, and he suddenly flew into the sky like a sword. His destination? The Bai Clans port!

This was Fang Chens first time flying. Rather than riding on a sword, it felt as if he had become a sword himself.

This was another ability of sword cultivators.

Now that he had completely fused with little sword, his bodys resilience was superior to the others. A metallic glow could vaguely be seen beneath his skin. It wouldnt be far-fetched to say that he was a human-shaped artifact!

In terms of sheer speed, he was traveling much faster than other sword cultivators of similar cultivation. Needless to say, he was also faster than most common cultivator flight means, such as sword flight or riding on clouds.

In the Bai Clans conference hall, Bai Qianqians group and Bai Qixiangs group sat with a clear divide between them at the center.

The one taking the principal seat was the Bai Clans patriarch, and sitting by the sides were the clans elders, including Bai Qixiangs father, Bai Yue.

Father, thats how the matter went. Bai Qixiang acted on his own accord, and he might have brought a calamity upon our Bai Clan due to his wilful actions, Bai Qianqian said.

There were different reactions from the crowd.

Before the Bai Clans patriarch could say a word, Bai Yue let out a chuckle and said, Qianqian, arent you making a big deal out of something small? My son did that with our Bai Clans interest in mind.

He turned to the crowd and said, Think about it. Back then, the Sea Dragon Sect ignored our attempts to show goodwill. This is a rare chance to connect with them, so how can we let this opportunity slip?

Do you know who Blue Mountain Island Master Xue Fenggui is? Hes one of the nine great Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Sea Dragon Sect! As long as he nods his head, our Bai Clans business will surely tower over the Huang Clan and the Liu Clan. I dont think Qixiang has done anything wrong. Instead, he has made a huge contribution to our clan!

Those words do make sense.

Itd be beneficial to our clan to get on good terms with the Sea Dragon Sect. To put it bluntly, even the South Heaven Sect and the Beast Spirit Valley have to lower their heads before the Sea Dragon Sect.

But is it worth offending a sword cultivator for that? Do you think the Sea Dragon Sect will stand up for us if he knocks on our door?

Thats assuming he's still alive. With the Blue Mountain Island Master personally hunting him down, I doubt that he is in any state to come after us.

The Bai Clans elders expressed their stances. Most people agreed with what Bai Qixiang did today.

Bai Yue and Bai Qixiang revealed a gleeful smirk upon seeing that.

The Bai Clans patriarch frowned. He raised his hand and said, That might be so, but theres no denying that Qixiang threw caution to the wind and acted on his own accord.

The crowd looked at the Bai Clans patriarch.

Patriarch, I merely got ahead of myself and forgot to report this matter to Bai Qianqian, Bai Qixiang argued.

Regardless, Qianqian is the one managing our port right now. As a subordinate, its only right for you to seek your superiors permission before making a move, the Bai Clans patriarch said.

Bai Yue shot to his feet and roared, Second Brother, are you siding with your daughter? I dont think youre being fair to Qixiang!

The Bai Clans patriarch shook his head. It is important for rules to be enforced in a huge clan like ours, so that order can be upheld. It doesnt matter whether he did it with our clans welfare in mind or not. That is what our old ancestor said. Have you forgotten?

Then lets call the old ancestor out to judge this matter! Bai Qixiang argued.

The old ancestor is in seclusion training, so lets not disturb him. The Bai Clans patriarch let out a sigh. Lets put this matter aside for now. If theres nothing else, you may return.

Father? Bai Qianqian was stunned.

Bai Yue couldnt hold back his laughter. All right, lets put this matter aside for now. By the time the old ancestor comes out of his seclusion training, our Bai Clans business might have already grown by several folds.

Bai Qixiang smiled too.

The father and son were gleeful at having gotten their way.

May I ask if this is the Bai Clan? a voice echoed outside the conference hall.

The crowd was stunned.

Bai Yue frowned. Do people nowadays not know any etiquette? You should report your presence at the entrance instead of barging into our Bai Clan!

It looks like I have gotten to the right place. Fang Chen entered the conference hall together with Liu Mu.

Its you Bai Qianqian gasped.

The others were startled too.

Bai Yue sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere, so he toned down his voice and asked, May I know who you are?

Father hes that sword cultivator, Bai Qixiang informed his father telepathically.

Bai Yues body stiffened up. He tried to maintain a gentle smile, but his heart had turned cold.

You must be the sword cultivator Qianqian spoke about. Pardon our lack of hospitality. The Bai Clans patriarch stood up and clasped his fist.

The crowd was perplexed.

The Blue Mountain Island Master should have gone to chase after him, but the sword cultivator still appeared in the Bai Clan as if nothing had happened. Where did the Blue Mountain Island Master go?

A Foundation Establishment cultivator who claimed to be from the Sea Dragon Sect paid me a visit earlier. I asked him how he knew my location, and he told me that he received a tip off from one of your Bai Clans offspring.

Fang Chen tossed the dead gu on the floor before smiling at the crowd. May I know who that Bai Clans offspring is? Id like to have a conversation with him.

Bai Qixiang froze up. He instinctively glanced at Bai Yue with pleading eyes.

Bai Yue gestured for him to calm down before turning toward Fang Chen. A Foundation Establishment cultivator from the Sea Dragon Sect? May I know where that elder is currently?

I sent him to the netherworld, Fang Chen replied.

Ah!

The fifty Bai Clans cultivators in the conference hall gasped, and their faces turned ghastly pale. He killed a Foundation Establishment cultivator?

They were tempted to call the sword cultivators bluff, but again, how would the sword cultivator know about the gu if he hadnt met Xue Fenggui?

The situation spoke of itself. The two of them had met, but Xue Fenggui was nowhere to be seen whereas the sword cultivator came to the Bai Clan The chances were that Xue Fenggui was really dead!

Daoist, could there be a misunderstanding? Our Bai Clan dares not get involved in your business with the Sea Dragon Sect Bai Yue said with a strained smile.

Are you insinuating that the Foundation Establishment cultivator was lying? I dont think he has a reason to lie to me. Fang Chen smiled at Bai Yue. Are you the Bai Clans offspring he spoke about?

Bai Yues face turned pale. He hurriedly shook his head. It isnt me.

Then who is it? Fang Chen directed a sweeping gaze across the room. Are you planning on covering up for that person?

Bai Qianqian pointed to Bai Qixiang and said, Y-young master, he was the one who acted on his own accord and sent a gu to follow you!

Bai Qianqian, you vicious bitch! Bai Qixiang was infuriated. He quickly turned to Fang Chen with fearful eyes and said, I-I didnt mean it! I was afraid that the Sea Dragon Sect might turn its wrath toward our Bai Clan
