Chapter 124 – Face-to-face ultimate!

The Bai Family’s forces arrived in a grand procession, numbering nearly ten thousand. At the forefront were over a hundred Bai Family disciples, while the rest were Experts who had pledged allegiance to the Bai Family’s power.

Upon arrival, they wore cold and arrogant expressions, acting without restraint. They arrogantly pushed another Giant Level faction’s forces to one side, seizing an excellent position for themselves.

The displaced Giant Level faction dared to be angry but not speak out. Even their Giant Level leader remained silent, choosing to close his eyes and feign ignorance as if he hadn’t seen anything.

There was no other choice—the Bai Family’s Giant Level powerhouse, Bai Zihan, was too formidable.

Ranked third among Giant Level Combat Power, he was far beyond the reach of ordinary Giants like them.

Moreover, in Bai Zihan’s record of achievements, the number of Giant Level Experts who had died at his hands was no longer just one or two. Although the displaced Giant was fuming with anger, he simply didn’t dare to act out. Compared to face, his own life was far more important.

“Hahaha!”

The Bai Family disciples laughed without restraint, seemingly long accustomed to such bullying behavior.

The Experts who had joined the Bai Family’s forces also joined in the laughter, appearing to greatly enjoy the feeling of bullying others.

“This is the benefit of joining a powerful faction,” laughed one of the Bai Family’s retainers.

“Exhilarating! Even a Giant Level Expert dares to be angry but not speak out!”

“Unless he doesn’t want to live anymore—Giant Bai’s temper isn’t exactly gentle!”

The Bai Family’s group of Experts reveled in their arrogance.

Among the crowd, Bai Zijian’s expression remained as aloof as ever. Although this place was filled with Giant Level Experts and Invincible Realm cultivators were as numerous as hairs on an ox, he still swept his gaze over everyone with lofty pride.

Beside him, Bai Ziwen fanned himself with a feathered fan, pointing at everyone present and said disdainfully, “Zijian, look at these cowards. This is the advantage of having strength! Who would dare provoke us?”

After speaking, Bai Ziwen wore a faint smile.

“In the future… I too will break through to the Giant Level like Elder Brother Zihan!” A sharp glint flashed in Bai Zijian’s eyes. “To share a portion of Elder Brother Zihan’s burden!”

Bai Ziwen laughed heartily. “Excellent! By then, our Bai Family will be even more invincible in the 3rd Revolution Domain, perhaps even capable of unifying this Shadow City Secret Realm.”

Bai Zijian nodded, raising his chin as his gaze swept across the leaders of the various factions, hoping that one day he too could become one of them.

But when his gaze passed over a certain group of people, Bai Zijian’s eyes suddenly froze, then sharply contracted.

“It’s him!”

“Who?” Beside him, Bai Ziwen was still smiling, but upon hearing Bai Zijian’s low exclamation, the smile faded from his face as he asked in surprise.

“That kid!” After a brief pause, Bai Zijian’s gaze gradually twisted into a ferocious grin as he stared intently at a warship.

Bai Ziwen followed his gaze. When he saw the white-robed figure on the warship, his eyes also trembled violently. “Ye Sheng!”

“He dares to come to a place like this. This is truly a gift delivered without effort.” Bai Zijian burst into loud laughter, his voice filled with malice yet growing increasingly excited.

At this moment, the Bai Family’s forces were gathered together, with over a hundred Invincible Realm cultivators present, and Giant Level powerhouse Bai Zihan was nearby.

Now that they had encountered Ye Sheng, even if he had a thousand wings, he wouldn’t be able to escape.

“Perfect!” Bai Zijian’s expression twisted with malice. He had long harbored a deep-seated hatred for Ye Sheng. During the battle at Yin Water Mountain, not only had Ye Sheng severely injured him, but he had also taken his Mythic Tier longsword, the ‘Shadow Demon Sword,’ causing him to fall from the Invincible Realm.

If not for Bai Zihan, he would never have been able to restore his combat power in the Invincible Realm until now! This had always weighed heavily on his mind.

“Good, you truly refuse to take the path to heaven and insist on barging through the gates of hell!”

“That kid is within the Boundless Giant’s faction,” Bai Ziwen scanned the area, feeling somewhat troubled.

“So what? Just a nobody. I think Jiang Wuya will give our Bai Family this face!”

As Bai Zijian spoke, he had already flown out with a sinister grin, heading straight for Ye Sheng.

“Act now?” Bai Ziwen was startled but had no choice. He signaled over a dozen Bai Family Invincible Realm experts to follow. Since they were going to act, this time they had to ensure absolute success and not let this kid escape again. The Bai Family had suffered too many losses at his hands—they needed to eliminate the threat for good.

…

In the distant sky, on the deck of the warship, Ye Sheng stood dressed in a white robe, with Huang Wenyue and the others behind him. Huang Wenyue and his companions were still unaware that trouble was coming their way.

Ye Sheng’s gaze swept across, having long since noticed that Bai Zijian and the others had spotted him. He saw Bai Zijian charging toward him the moment he was discovered, as if afraid he might escape.

At this, a cold smile flickered at the corner of Ye Sheng’s mouth as he calmly waited for Bai Zijian and his men to come and meet their doom.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Bai Zijian moved swiftly. Having restored his Invincible Realm combat power, he charged toward Jiang Wuya’s faction with a sinister grin.

His actions naturally alarmed many within Jiang Wuya’s faction.

“It’s the Bai Family!”

“They seem to be heading straight for us!”

“What are they doing here?”

Many of Jiang Wuya’s subordinates were puzzled.

One Expert snorted angrily, “Could it be that bullying others wasn’t enough, and now they want to come bully us too?”

Huang Wenyue, standing behind Ye Sheng, also saw Bai Zijian and Bai Ziwen flying over with more than ten Invincible Realm experts. He remarked curiously, “It’s the Bai Family’s Bai Zijian, Bai Ziwen, and several other Invincible Realm Prodigies. They seem to be heading straight for us!”

Ye Sheng remained silent, waiting for Bai Zijian to approach.

A moment later.

Bai Zijian arrived with a sinister grin, alarming and angering the many Experts under Jiang Wuya’s command.

The commotion below naturally caught the attention of Jiang Wuya within the Sword Radiance Lotus, who looked down.

“Bai Family, what are you doing?!”

Jiang Wuya was furious!

He had witnessed the Bai Family’s overbearing behavior earlier, and now, not even a few minutes later, they were charging toward him. Did they really think he, Jiang Wuya, was a coward who wouldn’t speak up?

Bai Zijian chuckled, putting away his arrogant demeanor. Unlike his unrestrained attitude toward the previous Giant Level figure, he had been warned by Bai Zihan that Jiang Wuya was not to be trifled with—he hid his true combat power, and unless absolutely necessary, it was best not to provoke such a formidable enemy.

Bai Zijian cupped his hands toward Jiang Wuya. “Boundless Giant, don’t misunderstand. Our Bai Family has no intention of offending you. We’re only targeting an insignificant individual!”

Jiang Wuya frowned, unsure who he was referring to.

Bai Zijian sneered, fixing his gaze on Ye Sheng on the deck. “Ye Sheng, how do you plan to escape this time?”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Bai Ziwen waved his hand, and the dozen or so Bai Family Invincible Realm experts immediately spread out, blocking all of Ye Sheng’s escape routes.

“Are they targeting Giant Ye?”

Seeing this, the many Experts within the Boundless faction couldn’t help but be startled. They began whispering among themselves, their gazes turning strangely peculiar.

“With just these dozen or so Invincible Realm experts?”

It was known within the Wuyan faction that Ye Sheng had reached the Giant Level, but due to Jiang Wuya’s deliberate suppression of the news and the inability to communicate within the Shadow City Secret Realm, this information had never spread beyond.

As a result, the outside world remained unaware of the existence of a Giant Level figure like Ye Sheng.

Now, seeing Bai Zijian actually leading people to directly provoke a Giant Level figure, they couldn’t help but applaud his courage.

The previous Giant Level figure had remained silent only because it was a matter of seizing a spot—it hadn’t yet escalated to the point of a direct confrontation.

But now, with Bai Zijian openly seeking trouble with a Giant Level figure, even the most patient of individuals would likely find it unbearable!
