Chapter 288 (1/2)

The big entourage h the entire acadeh the city, the experts froh alert as they feared that Xue Wei would atte went quite perfectly Xue Wei restrained his killing intent and quelled his urge to do battle, and soon, they had arrived in front of the Baili fa outside, and when they saw the leader return, they all craned their necks to try to see if Xue Wei was auards seemed elated while another seemed disappointed, and uard to the other Clearly, they'd had bet on whether or not it would be a successful capture

This sight was not only displayed at the front gate of the Baili fa their necks to see if Xue Wei was there before they started sulking at one another, and handed over the bets they had lost

When they entered the gate, Xue Wei found that the fa but consisted of quite a few buildings deceptively hidden, as the main one was the only one that could be seen fro they weretowards, the main mansion of the Baili fas would be discussed, and where the family leader lived with his wife and children

There were another set of guards at the entrance to this building, but upon seeing as co them, they iroup could lead Xue Wei inside

Xue Wei looked curiously at the surroundings It would be beneficial for him to know the layout of the place, as he would have to escape at some point when his friends ca, Xue Wei felt the breath of twenty-seven strong experts These experts were clearly h to put a lot of unseen pressure on hi him to his knees with their aura alone

As soon as some of the unseen pressure was released on Xue Wei, the two dragon spirits within his body took the chance to send wave after wave of energy through his body The Azure Dragon spirit sent azure dragon strands of Qi around his meridians to make it possible for his body to better withstand the pressure that would otherwise on spirit within his ht that lessened the pressure on his soul

Although it still wasn't wholly negated, it was no longer als did not tremble as he took a step forward

All this pressure was focused on Xue Wei, but the others—the Baili tea him—were all so close to Xue Wei that they too felt the pressure bearing down upon the, their bodies oozed with sweat, and all of the at Xue Wei with dumbstruck expressions One has to rehts, and while they were treht,yet he was looking much more casual, with barely a hint that this pressure even affected him

The reason was quite si in tandem to protect Xue Wei froons

The defense of an Azure Dragon was not so athat these halfbreeds—as he no they were called—of Yan Dalu could intier than Xue Wei, the truth was that pressure alone was so st theroup's eyes started gleareed Did he have some particular technique or treasure that allowed for hier cultivator?

If he did, this was so that would be able to put them even further apart from the ht now, they understood that they had no chance of controlling the continent because of the King—a five-eyed expert, and the entire court of officials ished to keep the structure of the continent as it had always been

However, they were not giving up Throughout the last few decades, they had bribed, threatened and murdered their way into a favorable position within the court Although the noble families were meant to be the protectors of the citizens, the Baili fa on

While the Gu and Yuan fa their possibilities to attack the Baili fa even harder to overthrow the throne and take over the throne in Yan Dalu

This was also why they put soXue Wei They understood that if they could get ahold of all the secrets he held, then they would be able to increase their strength tremendously, and if they could do so, they would be poised to claim the power they desired

But only a li that not many were allowed to be told The leader of the Baili team that had been sent to apprehend Xue Wei was one of the few people who knew about it

He had been trained froe to be one of their assassins He would never question his orders, and he would work hard to make sure that these orders were performed well

When they arrived in the h above the ground, looking down upon the eyes

Xue Wei did not answer this rude greeting Instead, he held asmile on his lips as he placed his hands at his waist and looked at the experts high above, waiting to see their reaction
