Bai Jie was standing near Ming Xue. He barely arrived here on time. He saw a woman rushing towards Ming Xue so he didn't hold back anymore. He shouted at the top of his lungs. Due to Keeping thunder inside his body his vocals were vibrating unintentionally producing a double echo effect when he spoke.
' It's her again. ' Bai Jie felt anger rose up in his heart. He recognized one of them she was the reason for all this crap. He saw a woman with Han Bing wearing white robes with a dagger on her waist. Her face was also covered.
On the other side, he saw Ming Xue lying on the ground. Bai Jie was wearing his cloak he activated his parasite vision and spiritual sense.
" Master, its grandma Ann take her away " spoke Ming Xue with a weak voice. Bai Jie was still reeling what was the situation here when he heard Ming Xue's words. She had dirt all over her and bruises on her face.
He looked towards the corpse that was lying on the ground a long spear was stuck between the bones he also felt amazed watching this peculiarity. This was the first time he saw the bones like these. They were shining like glass in the middle of the night they looked very peculiar. But Bai Jie didn't dwell on it too much he also knew his own bones were different than the normal ones. So he thought it was common in this world. He had already seen many different things after he came to this world.
" Senior please don't involve yourself " Su Ling came out of her stupor. She asked politely because she couldn't gauge his strength.
She never thought she would feel afraid because of a man. She tried to probe but she couldn't even sense any spirit fluctuation coming from him. ' But when did he appear ' thought Su Ling. She was keeping a close eye on the surroundings but she didn't even sense his approach As an assassin she was an expert in sensory abilities. Which meant he was far stronger than her.
" 6th stage mortal. " Bai jie felt the killing intent coming from her. He looked back at her. Bai Jie knew he had to maintain the distance or it will be disastrous for him. But he suddenly noticed the woman tremble after hearing him.
Su Ling trembled hearing those words. She was an assassin so her cultivation technique allowed her to conceal her real cultivation. But the man in front of her saw right through it.
What she didn't know Bai Jie didn't need to probe using his spirit energy like others, with his eyes of parasite he could directly see the spirit energy flowing inside her.
' He is definitely stronger than me' Thought Su Ling. She knew that weaker cultivators couldn't probe one who was significantly stronger than them.
While she couldn't even sense spirit fluctuation, the other person could clearly depict her realm. Her killing intent vanished and intense fear took place inside her.
Bai Jie involuntarily activated the First thunder style he wanted to be ready for any situation. He knew the woman could be big trouble for him. if it was a man he could just directly start a close combat battle with her and eliminate her directly. He was feeling a heavy bloodlust from her she was definitely a killer.
" Senior please calm down," said Han Bing and Su Ling at the same time. Their faces went pale with fright watching the thunder dancing around Bai Jie. Both of them kneeled down on the ground.
" Senior we belong to the heavenly pavilion I know it was her fault. We ask for forgiveness." said, Han Bing hurriedly. She knew they were in deep trouble sweat was rolling down her back and Su Ling was the same. She had hit an iron wall this time. She saw the sparks of thunder flying around here and there.
" ah," Bai Jie was surprised by this sudden transformation. He knew he sensed the killing intent from the dagger lady. But now they were all kneeling on the ground. He was almost ready for battle in his hand he was holding a few pills. It was the same pills Uncle Lin had used on him which would produce a cloud of poison gas. He was thinking of either killing them or running away with Ming Xue.
Even Ming Xue's own mouth was gaping open. She wanted her Master to run because he might not be as strong as her. She didn't want him to die because of her too. But This transformation stunned her to the core.
' Is Master so strong. ' thought Ming Xue.
Bai Jie noticed that they weren't acting. ' Do these ladies fear lightning. ' thought Bai Jie. He wanted to give it a try. He raised his hand slowly towards them while concentrating the lightning on his hand.
" Nooooo Senior please spare the young miss I was the one at fault here. I am willing to kill myself to atone for the wrongdoings, " said Su Ling. She saw him raising his hand slowly. she saw the sparks gathering on his hand, she thought he was going to unleash a powerful Martial skill. She had heard of supreme masters who could harness the power of elements. These masters were so strong that they can even rival a whole village.
" Senior please spare her our Heavenly pavilion will compensate you anything you ask for," said Han Bing hurriedly she hurriedly took out her identity token. She was more informed than Su Ling. ' It's a foundation realm Master. ' This thought was ringing in her head like a bell. For foundation realm masters the mortal stage was no different from flies in the air. They could smash them with just a thought. One thing she was clear the girl had some relation with this Elder.
" Senior it isn't what it seems," said Han Bing hurriedly. ' I have to resolve this situation. no matter what or the whole heavenly pavilion might suffer ' thought Han Bing. She was just terrified at the thought that Su Ling might have kicked his disciple. It would be a disaster for them.
Ming Xue looked towards Bai Jie in the cloak. She rubbed her eyes to see clearly. She saw her brother on his back.
" Master, he " Ming Xue didn't care about anything Han Bing said. She was looking towards Bai Jie with an expectant look.
Bai jie just nodded.
" Thank you, Master," said Ming Xue while kneeling down. She felt a large burden lifted from her heart.
" Do you did this to them. " Bai Jie suddenly waved his hand and more sparks were produced he pointed at the bodies of the children towards the burning cottage. He knew he had to keep these tigresses under pressure or they might flip out on him anytime. He also understood his first thunder style was except just the parlor tricks it mainly increased his speed its damage wasn't enough to kill a cultivator currently.
" Senior No, we have nothing to do with them. These people were all slaves look at the slave marks under their tongues. " As Bai jie thought after watching the few more sparks produced Han Bing voice became even more erratic.
" Do you take me for a fool I saw you almost wanted to kill my apprentice?" Bai Jie asked even more furious tone his stare directly towards Su Ling. If he was a little late then she might have been already dead. He wouldn't let her go so easily.
" Senior she didn't know that little girl was your disciple " Han Bing tried to mediate. " just tell what could she do atone for her wrongdoing"
" I want her to be my disciple's slave " Bai Jie didn't give them any chance it would be waste if she killed herself but if he could make her Ming Xue's slave then it would be a much better help for her and him.
" Impossible. " retorted Su Ling. she won't accept such humiliation no matter what. She was a proud cultivator rather than become a tool to a mortal she would rather die 100 times.
" Then do you want me to kill your young miss," asked Bai Jie in a cold tone. Suddenly the aura of death spread around. Currently, Bai Jie wasn't joking he was ready to kill all of them. He knew it was because of his weakness that the children and the old lady were dead right now. If he had killed Han Bing for the first time he met her then the kids could still be alive.
" I " Su Ling felt this death aura. It was the first time in her life felt something like this. Su Ling almost had the illusion that she was being eyed by a predator who will devour her whole She could see a dark shadow behind Bai jie.
" Senior she is a member of heavenly Pavillion even though you are a very strong, The city branch of heavenly pavilion won't let you go I think it would be better if we resolve this peacefully," said Han Bing through her gritted teeth. She was bluffing, She herself knows well that city branch wouldn't even care about the village branch at all. They wouldn't offend a foundation expert over a few mortal stage cultivators.
Su Ling felt her emotion stir up she had always thought this girl only know how to play around. If she wasn't the daughter of the Mistress she wouldn't even listen to her at all. But now she realized this girl also possessed a brave heart.
' She is just like her. ' thought Su Ling. She knew it would have been very easy to dump it all on her and it would have been the most logical choice to save heavenly pavilion.
If it was someone else than Bai Jie then Han Bing's bluff might have worked. But he was keeping a close eye on fluctuation in spirit energy. He knew she was lying at least it wasn't a complete truth but before he could retort Bai Jie heard an unexpected voice.
" I am willing but I have a condition " replied Su Ling suddenly.
" You " Han Bing was felt she had heard something wrong. She was a core member of Heavenly pavilion they were the most loyal people of their Ji village branch and she was doing her best to prevent something happening to her.' How could you betray me like this. ' thought Han Bing.
" let's hear it " Bai Jie felt amused with the air of an expert. He saw Han Bing's lips twitching. Which meant it was out of her expectations.
" That corpse must belong to the heavenly pavilion," said Su Ling. She noticed that he didn't care much about the corpse at all like he didn't care at all. Han Bing also stopped resisting she looked toward Su Ling before she lowered her head.
Bai Jie frowned hearing it. From his point of view, it was just a corpse no matter how shiny were the bones. It would be a great deal to trade a 6th stage mortal assassin against a corpse. But he saw a satisfied expression on Su Ling's face like she felt it was worth it making a sacrifice.
' Are these bones so special. ' thought Bai Jie.
Bai Jie felt there was secret hidden that he didn't know. He looked towards the bones again using his parasite vision it looked normal except for the shiny part.
' What should I do' Bai felt confused on one hand he could get realtime information from her about this world if she became a slave. He felt she must be very knowledgeable because she belonged to such a big organization. While on the other hand, he could have a few shiny bones for himself, He knew he couldn't bring the old lady back to life that is impossible because he sensed no life force from her.
