Chapter 329: Ruthless Hand Shattering Flowers (3)
Dozens of sound transmission talismans transformed into streaks of white light, flying in all directions.
Some were used to contact the cultivators attending the celebration, while others were used to warn Phoenix Mountain to be on guard.
The initial flight speed of the sound transmission talismans was not fast, and many were shot down by Liu Yu, Yan Kai, and others, but still, there were dozens that scattered in all directions.
Moreover, with the two women from the Bai Family providing cover, it was difficult to intercept all of them.
Once a few escaped the attack range, the four of them decided to let them go.
...
In the dim night sky, a white escape light rushed into the towering forest, causing leaves to scatter and birds and beasts to take flight.
After two to three breaths, four streaks of escape light closely pursued, spreading out in the direction the white light had fallen, surrounding it.
"Four friends, we are not acquainted and have no enmity. Why must you be so relentless towards these two weak women?"
"As long as you leave now, I swear not to hold grudges and am even willing to pay a certain price!"
At this point, Bai Lianhua revealed a hint of weakness on her face, speaking softly.
Paired with her beautiful, mature, and dignified appearance, it was hard not to be tempted to embrace and "care for" her.
Especially considering her identity as the head of the Bai Family and the lotus flower fairy, her allure was beyond words for those who appreciated such traits.
However, despite her words, the silver short sword in her hand and the white lotus platform floating in front of her showed no signs of being retracted.
In contrast, Bai Caihuang appeared much younger, watching the four with a vigilant gaze, and her hostility was very apparent.
Faced with four foundation establishment cultivators, she not only showed no fear but remained exceptionally calm, no longer exhibiting the previous spoiled demeanor of a young girl.
This fearless demeanor had already surpassed most cultivators.
"Why deceive yourself, friend Lianhua? You should have some understanding of our origins and intentions."
"Given the relationship between the Bai Family and White Cloud Temple, do you really think there’s room for negotiation?"
The black robe obscured much of Liu Yu's face, making him appear a bit eerie and mysterious. Holding the Li Xuan Sword in one hand and the Soul-Reaping Spike in the other, he spoke lightly.
His words were calm, devoid of any emotional fluctuations.
Yet beneath this calm lay a deadly intent!
Yan Kai and the others remained silent, their magical artifacts in activation mode, ready to attack at a moment's notice.
The spiritual light of the artifacts illuminated the space, while their spiritual consciousness allowed both sides to clearly observe each other's movements; the veil of night offered no concealment.
"So it's friends from the Chu State. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
"As long as you can guarantee the interests currently held by the Bai Family, we might consider changing our stance."
Bai Lianhua fabricated her words casually, attempting to buy time for reinforcements to arrive.
"Oh? Is that so?"
"If that's the case... then..."
"Attack!"
Liu Yu was about to finish his sentence when he secretly transmitted a message to the three, ordering them to strike immediately.
He understood well that the longer they delayed, the more variables would arise, especially since they were so close to Red Maple Mountain.
He had already sent a sound transmission talisman; dragging it out would only worsen their situation, putting their group at a disadvantage.
After all, to the cultivators of this region, they were ultimately outsiders.
Battling here did not grant them any home-field advantage, and without eliminating the greatest resistance like autumn winds sweeping away fallen leaves, they could easily face failure.
As the transmission was sent, Liu Yu's two magical artifacts, which had been in activation mode, instantly flew out, transforming into ghostly light and a Firebird, shooting directly towards the two women.
