Chapter 44 (2/2)

After discovering the Soul Diffusion Fruit, they had decided to annihilate the Yang Family who was an obstacle to them, but they overlooked the possibility of Long Chen unexpectedly finding out and present the Yang Family with news of the Soul Diffusion Fruit!

This way, the Soul Diffusion Fruit that they would definitely have gotten might now meet with some unexpected hindrances, and this made the Bai Brothers harbour hatred for Long Chen!

At present, Founder Young had also taken notice of the old man. He immediately frowned before saying: “This is bad. That person is….Bai Sheng’s stepbrother, and is known as Bai Li. He has always been at Yuanling City and had never communicated with Bai Sheng much. However, he unexpectedly came to Poplar Town this time around……Two experts who are at the ninth level of the Dragon Pulse Realm……”

He could still deal with one Bai Sheng but Founder Yang would not have any confidence if Bai Li, who was of similar strength, was included.

However, he heaved a sigh of relief as he remembered that he still had this devilish genius, Long Chen, by his side.

He was not sure of Long Chen’s current strength either, but he thought that if Long Chen could even beat Bai Zhanxiong to the death, then he might also be able to endure some time in Bai Li’s hands!

Founder Yang still did not know about the matter of the Soul Diffusion Fruit and naturally, he did not know the meaning behind Bai Li’s appearance. He did not know why the Bai Family tried to plot against the Yang Family either.

However, Long Chen’s brow furrowed. Naturally, the Bai Family would not dare to create a commotion with Lord Lang here today. But Long Chen knew, they would definitely have to face Bai Sheng and Bai Li on the battlefield as they fought over the Soul Diffusion Fruit!

Long Chen had the confidence for dealing with those two expects but Bai Zhanxiong mentioned the Crimson Blood Sacred Sect, which made him feel uneasy.

For Lord Lang to have that much power at a young age, it was clear that the average strength of the experts in Yuanling City was much higher than Poplar Town’s. If Bai Li had any standing in Yuan Lin City, then he would know many experts. If he were to be involved in the battle for the Soul Diffusion Fruit, then the Yang Family….

Long Chen, who initially thought that he could take it easy, instantly felt pressured again.

He knew that, after the ripening of the Soul Diffusion Fruit, there would definitely be a huge battle, and the Bai Family methods were not lacking. As for Long Chen who was in the Yang Family, there were already more people who had to be protected, and many consequences to worry about. If they really had to have a death match with Bai Family, Long Chen knew that his current ability was still lacking if he wanted to protect many people.

As for Yang Xueqing, after what had transpired last night, Long Chen wouldn’t allow anyone to harm her even though he had not completely forgiven her.

However, Long Chen had killed a lot of the Bai Family’s members. The Bai Family definitely wouldn’t be able to forgive the Yang Family easily. Currently, this was the heavy burden Long Chen had in his heart…..

“In approximately eight days, the Soul Diffusion Fruit will be ripening. What can I do in this span of eight days to achieve a complete victory……”

The two brothers from the Bai Family were currently glaring at Long Chen with gazes filled with murderous intent. While Long Chen remained unyielding, there was suddenly disturbance in the crowd. Long Chen instantly discovered that a person had appeared on the originally empty platform!

That’s right; it was someone whom the Yuanling Family of Yuanling City had sent, the mysterious Lord Lang.

Today, he still had the cloak on, concealing his appearance.

Actually, the ma.s.ses of Poplar Town all knew that this Lord Lang’s voice sounded extremely young, and his estimated age was not very old. He could be thought of as an even more talented, heaven-defying genius.

When he first saw Lord Lang, Long Chen was unable to determine his gender at a glance. At that time, he found that Lord Lang’s personality was rather kind and helpful, albeit being a little shy. It may have been due to official business, but when they met yesterday, Lord Lang intentionally made himself to be cold and detached when he wore the cloak.

The time hadn’t actually run out when Long Chen had held the youths of Bai Family in captive and they left the Big Barren Mountain afterwards, but Lord Lang had obviously been biased towards Long Chen and had ended the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion before the stipulated time.

Thus, Long Chen was extremely grateful towards this Lord Lang.

Although Lord Lang might not think the same, Long Chen had already placed him as a very important person in his life. That inexplicable feeling was unlikely to be wrong.

Currently, everyone was focusing on Lord Lang alone. Lord Lang’s m.u.f.fled voice sounded out from within his mantle.

“Bai Family’s Bai Sheng, Yang Family’s Yang Cangqiong. Step forward.”

Bai Sheng and Yang Cangqiong didn’t dare disobey Lord Lang’s order so they obediently walked up to stand in front of Lord Yang. However, they didn’t even glance at one another.

“Now I will announce both families’ achievements in the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion.”

Lord Lang opened his right palm, and the ma.s.ses hurriedly looked over, and found a small yellow pea sized demonic energy core, and momentarily laughed loudly.

“Yang Family…… Number of energy cores, one! From the Scarlet Tailed Fox of the first level Huang grade!”

Everyone present was startled. The younger generation was defeated so terribly yesterday. When they looked at that single pitiful energy core, they thought that it was obtained by the Bai Family. They didn’t expect that it would be the Yang Family instead. This immediately made them look at each other as they thought: “Will the control right of Poplar town be given to the Bai Family? This……”

Thinking that the mayoral position would actually go to the vicious and cruel Bai Family, the ma.s.ses all felt a shudder in their hearts. In the future, they would probably be unable to live out their days in peace.

At that moment, Lord Lang started to speak. Everyone who was discussing the matter hastily shut their mouths.

At this point, Lord Lang scanned the surroundings and opened the palm of his left hand. The ma.s.ses looked over nervously, but found out that there was absolutely nothing in his hand!

“Bai Family……Number of energy cores, zero!”

The expressions of the crowd instantly became incomparably bright.

Everyone actually had a prediction of the fierce battle between the two families this time. They had all thought that the Bai Family would be able to obtain the energy core of an Huang grade demon at the eighth level and that the Yang Family would not fare as well, at most only obtaining a seventh level Huang grade energy core at most. They never imagined that the outcome of the battle would be that the Yang Family would obtain a first level Huang grade energy core, while the Bai Family returned empty handed.

Long Chen chuckled as none of them were hunting the demons during the demonic beast hunting compet.i.tion. That Scarlet Tailed Fox’s energy core was just something that he conveniently obtained when he was heading down the mountain.
