Laughter.
Loud uproarious laughter.
Everyone turned to Luo Tian, unable to figure out why he was laughing.
The Second Elder coldly stared at Luo Tian and said with disdain, “You damn mongrel. If it weren’t for you, the Bai family wouldn’t be pushed into such a dire situation. You can still laugh at a time like this? Is it really that funny for the Bai family to be destroyed?”
Bai Kong turned around and said, “Patriarch, please make a decision immediately!”
The six elders – apart from Bai Qi, they were the strongest people in the Bai family.
If they were to leave, the Bai family’s strength would instantly decrease by one third. How were they going to resist the allied forces of the four great families?
It would be impossible!
Bai Qi was very clear that on one side were the Bai family’s six elders. On the other side was Luo Tian.
This was a very difficult choice to make.
He was the patriarch of the Bai family, and any decision he made must be for the benefit of the family. He couldn’t allow the foundation built by his ancestors to be destroyed by his own hands. The decision was very difficult, and he repeatedly looked at Luo Tian.
Luo Tian’s expression was very calm, without any emotions.
Even when those elders spoke so bluntly, he remained unmoved, as if it were none of his business.
Bai Qi could see the sincerity in Luo Tian’s eyes. He knew Luo Tian was waiting for his decision, which made it even more difficult.
After laughing out loud, Luo Tian looked at Bai Qi and said, “Uncle Bai, if you are having a hard time making a decision, you should just hand me over to the four great families.”
Luo Tian could understand Bai Qi’s position and the pressure he was dealing with.
Even if he were the one in Bai Qi’s shoes, he would also be acting like him.
After all, the fates of a few hundred Bai family members were at stake.
Luo Tian was also clear that even if Bai Qi chose him and gave up the six elders, he wasn’t confident that he could lead the Bai family out of this disaster. The foundation of the four great families combined was stronger than he had imagined.
When Luo Tian was dealing with the younger generation elites inside the spatial world, he had a pretty easy time. But when dealing with the older elite disciples out here who had cultivated for several decades, he wasn’t very confident.
Since Bai Qi was having a hard time deciding, Luo Tian might as well decide for him.
This could be considered paying back the Bai family’s favor.
He no longer had to worry too much and just go on a killing spree.
No more worries or concerns!
Bai Xiong’s expression darkened as he went over to Luo Tian’s side. “Boss, what kind of nonsense are you saying? And father, don’t listen to his nonsense. You can’t hand him over to them just like that.”
Bai Lingling said anxiously, “Father, if you hand Luo Tian over, I, I, I will never forgive you for the rest of my life!”
Lin Dong looked the calmest as he said, “Patriarch, the four great families didn’t immediately fight with us at the Misty Cloud Academy branch because they were afraid of Luo Tian. If you do hand him over, I believe they will immediately try to kill the boss by all means. Then they will attack the Bai family next. Deng Leigong already declared an all-out war, so just the death of the boss won’t satisfy his appetite.”
“Humph~! What do you kids know?”
“Deng Leigong declared war on us because of Luo Tian. As long as we hand him over, his anger will naturally be extinguished, and the four great families will no longer deal with the Bai family. If they were to destroy us after we appease them, then the reputation of the four great families in Towering Cloud City would be greatly weakened. That’s more of a loss than a gain for them.” One of the elders said analytically.
Lin Dong replied, “History is written by the strong. The people of Towering Cloud City will only remember the four great families and not the cowardly Bai family.”
Bai Kong’s gaze darkened. The anger in his heart had been burning for a while now, and he had no place to vent. So when he heard Lin Dong say that the Bai family was cowardly, his figure moved, and the vigorous yuan energy within his dantian surged. An earthly yellow light appeared around his palm as he smashed toward Lin Dong’s chest, “You damn dog thing! You dare to criticize the Bai family?! Who do you think you are?! The Bai family is an existence where an outsider like you has zero qualifications to criticize!”
This was a very ruthless ability he was using.
Once a person is struck by it, they would either die or be half-dead.
When Bai Xiong sneak attacked him, he couldn’t fight back because he was Bai Qi’s adopted son. He wasn’t Bai Qi’s match, so he couldn’t make a move.
It was the same with Bai Lingling.
As for Luo Tian, he had some concerns about him, so he didn’t dare to make a move. Therefore, he could only choose Lin Dong!
If an outsider like Lin Dong dies, no one would really pursue it. And his actions would pressure Bai Qi to make a decision quickly.
Bai Kong was attacking out of the blue, which was also considered a sneak attack.
Lin Dong also wasn’t vigilant in the main hall and didn’t expect the Second Elder to suddenly attack.
Lin Dong’s expression instantly changed.
Just when Bai Kong thought his attack would land, he furrowed his brow because someone had unknowingly appeared in front of Lin Dong. It was Luo Tian!
The moment Bai Kong’s figure moved, Luo Tian had followed his trajectory.
He couldn’t allow anyone to bully his brother.
“Humph~!”
“Damn dog thing! You’re the one asking for it! Die for me!” Bai Kong shouted smugly. He was already at the peak of the Condensation Element realm, a tiny bit away from entering the Martial Void realm. He refused to believe a Condensation Element 7th ranker like Luo Tian could resist a full force strike from him.
In an instant, Bai Kong increased the yuan energy coming from his dantian, causing the power around his palm to increase greatly.
Luo Tian frowned but didn’t say a word. The moment Bai Kong’s palm was about to land, he lowered his stance and shouted internally, “Divine Explosion!”
“Ommm~!”
His power doubled, and a wave of energy rippled out from him.
Luo Tian’s hand formed a fist as he shouted, “Mountain River Fist, Severing Mountains and Rivers!”
The energy surrounding his fist was spinning in a vortex shape similar to a drill before colliding with the center of Bai Kong’s palm.
“Bang~!”
“Boom~!”
The two different energies violently clashed together.
Luo Tian’s body faintly shook before he retreated with several explosive steps. The blood in his chest roiled, and the scent of blood started coming up. Just before he was to spray out blood, he forcefully swallowed it back down. He then complained to himself, “Even when Divine Explosion doubled my power, it still couldn’t make up the difference in realms.”
Luo Tian only took several steps back, but Bai Kong was sent flying out of the main hall. After landing in the courtyard, he rolled several times like a ragdoll. It seemed like his luck wasn’t very good because the moment he was about to stop, his mouth opened up in pain, wide enough to taste a pile of dog shit someone didn’t clean up on the ground.
He looked even more miserable than before!
“Hahaha… hahaha… He ate dog shit! It’s really dog shit!” Bai Xiong held his stomach and laughed.
Bai Lingling said with disdain, “Who told you to sneak attack? You think any random person can successfully sneak attack others?”
Lin Dong was filled with gratitude as he asked, “Boss, are you okay?”
Luo Tian waved his hand and replied, “Not a problem.”
The Second Elder was beaten to the point where he couldn’t climb back up on his feet. He could only glare at Luo Tian like he wanted to eat him alive.
At this time, several elders shouted, “Presumptuous!”
“How dare you?!”
“Completely lawless!”
“Patriarch, I say we just kill him for his offenses!”
At this moment, Bai Qi walked out of the main hall and looked at Bai Kong. He cleared his voice before exclaiming, “We fight!”
