Chapter 1674 Grudge
The expressions of Zhan Huan, Ling Chao, and Ling Zemin changed drastically as soon as Master Bai's voice fell. At the same time, the spatial rift in front of them started to distort and then disappeared altogether.
Following that, the three of them were immediately enveloped by a terrifying force, rendering them unable to move even an inch.
They turned their gazes towards the white owl perched on Yun Lintian's head, causing their bodies to shudder inexplicably.
Master Bai first looked at Zhan Huan and said. "You are similar to your father. You are overly confident in yourself. The fact that you came here alone says it all. I wonder how he would feel knowing that his son has fallen into my hands. Keke!"
He turned to Ling Zemin and continued speaking. "As for you. Your father has been hiding in his cave all his life, yet you don't seem to inherit his ability in the slightest. Are you sure that you are his son?"
Ling Zemin trembled, and his face flushed red with anger. No one had ever insulted him like this before.
Meanwhile, Zhan Huan's mind spun rapidly as he tried to figure out Master Bai's identity. Suddenly, a certain name flashed across his mind, and his eyes widened in disbelief. "You are the White Owl God Emperor!"
As his words fell, Ling Zemin and Ling Chao looked at Master Bai in shock. The White Owl God Emperor had perished long ago, and many people had seen it with their own eyes. How could he still be alive and appear here?
Cang Shang turned to look at Master Bai in astonishment, and he immediately understood why Master Bai claimed to be a friend of his master.
He had heard a lot about the story of the White Owl God Emperor from his master ever since he became his disciple. Even before he left for this place, his master still talked about it. It was evident how close the two were in the past.
Meanwhile, Yun Lintian was surprised by these people's reactions and became curious about Master Bai's past.
Zhan Huan struggled to speak. "Junior Zhan pays his respects to Senior White Owl God Emperor. This junior has no eyes and blindly offends Senior. Please forgive this junior for his ignorance."
Zhan Huan indeed held a high status and was a peak Divine Emperor. However, all of these things were useless in the presence of a god emperor like Master Bai. He had to lower his stance and admit his mistake directly.
Moreover, he didn't think there were any grudges between his father and Master Bai. At most, he would face minor punishment. Master Bai wouldn't take his life.
Master Bai glanced at Zhan Huan and chuckled. "Don't think that I won't dare to kill you."
Zhan Huan's heart sank. He tried his best to calm down and said. "As far as I know, there is no grudge between Senior and my father. I don't believe that someone as noble and kind-hearted as Senior would harm this junior without any justification."
"Why do you think we don't have any grudges?" Master Bai sneered. "That bastard damaged some decorative stones in my backyard when he parked his profound ark back then and refused to compensate. If this is not a grudge, then what is it?"
Yun Lintian: "..."
Yue Chuntao: "..."
Nantian Fengyu: "..."
Cang Shang: "..."
Zhan Huan was speechless. Master Bai actually held a grudge against his father because of a few pebbles. If Zhan Huan were to die because of this, he would probably become the biggest laughingstock in the Divine Realm.
"Hmph! I will deal with you later." Master Bai snorted and turned to Ling Zemin. "What about you? Do you have anything to say?"
Ling Zemin's lips twitched slightly, but no words came out in the end. He truly had no idea what to say, as Master Bai and his father seemed to have some grudges.
Meanwhile, Ling Chao took a deep breath and said. "I believe there was a misunderstanding between Senior and my Master in the past. My Master had never acted against Senior and those commoners."
Master Bai's eyes narrowed slightly as he asked. "Really? Do you even believe what you are saying?"
Ling Chao responded firmly. "Yes. Senior might have forgotten that I was also there. My Master had emphasized to us many times that we must help the commoners as much as possible. We had also never attacked or approached Senior's place. Everything that had happened back then had nothing to do with us."
Master Bai laughed and said. "Of course. I wasn't senile back then to not know this. I naturally know that all of you had never participated in that incident."
A glimmer of hope emerged in Ling Zemin's heart upon hearing this. Judging from Ling Chao's appearance, he didn't seem to lie about it. This meant there was a chance of redemption in this situation.
However, Master Bai's following words immediately plunged him into the depths of despair.
"More precisely," Master Bai's voice turned cold. "Ling Yongheng didn't do anything at all and watch the whole world burn... The only thing he did so far was wait to fish some benefits out of the chaotic situation."
"What was even more disgusting was he actually bit our saviors on their backs and joined the enemy's side. Tell me. What would you do when you meet such a person's son?"
Ling Zemin's face turned pale directly. His eyes were filled with despair as he knew that it was over. Master Bai would never let him go.
Zhan Huan looked at Ling Zemin with pity. Fortunately, his father chose to fight the enemy until the end and never joined the enemy's side. nove-LB(1n
Boom!
"Young master, run!" Ling Chao suddenly shouted and unleashed his full power all at once. The entire space trembled violently, and everyone could feel their minds suppressed.
Ling Zemin reacted quickly and shattered an escaping talisman.
However, before he could succeed, the talisman in his hand was suddenly snatched away.
"You!" Ling Zemin turned to look at Zhan Huan in disbelief.
Zhan Huan played with the talisman in his hand and said. "Please accept your death, Brother Ling."
As he spoke, he used his power to confine Ling Zemin, preventing him from moving.
Ling Chao became anxious and was about to launch an attack on Zhan Huan.
"Keke! What a loyal dog." Master Bai spoke as a bright white light shot out from his wing, enveloping Ling Chao directly.
"Ugh!" Ling Chao felt as if he was surrounded by mountains in all directions. His body then began to crumble...
