Bai Lung's fingers tightened around the wine cup, the porcelain creaking under the strain. "You seem to know an awful lot, old man. How is it that a lowly fugitive like yourself has gained such...insight?"
Xiao Feng let out a raspy chuckle, taking another languid sip of the wine. "Hmph, you think I've spent all these years hiding from the law without learning a few tricks?" He leaned back in his chair, studying Bai Lung with a calculating gaze, ready to strike a fatal move If needed.
Bai Lung's jaw tightened, his frustration mounting.
This geezer was proving far more perceptive than he'd anticipated.
"If you know so much, then you must realize the kind of power I possess. The power that could make your wildest dreams of freedom a reality,"
The elder's brow arched, a sardonic smile playing on his lips. "Freedom, you say? Forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical. From where I'm sitting, it seems the only one who's truly bound by their circumstances...is you,"
An ominous darkish red aura began to emit from an elder, as his smirk widened... "You see this? This is called killing aura. An aura obtained only by slaughtering millions of people; men, women, children, and elders alike. You must be joking by saying you would grant me freedom... Junior, you have played with my heart, pay with your life...
Commit suicide and I will make a wonderful grave for you, or else, don't blame me,"
The air felt chilly, yet, Bai Lung remained unfazed.
[ Ding! His villain aura is clashing with you... He refused to submit to you, ]
The melody of the system only made Bai Lung more sure about his situation. Both him and Elder possess, a villain aura of level 3, which means one of them has to submit otherwise, the clash is destined to occur.
Since the elder refused to submit, it's obvious clash is about to begin, because Bai Lung possesses the heart of a lion, refusing to bow.
'Since he refused to surrender... It's only natural that he becomes food for me,' Bai Lung said in his mind, his eyes glinting with coldness.
"Senior is truly blinded by arrogance, this humble junior only wished to help you, since, you refuse... It seems we can only settle it the old way," Bai Lung slid the empty cup to the middle.
Swoosh~
In an instant, his Aura intensified
[ Ding! The Executioner skill activated...]
Tickkk!
Swish!
With a flick of his wrist, Bai Lung summoned his signature technique - a swirling vortex of dark energy that crackled with unholy power.
The air grew thick and heavy, the very atoms vibrating with the intensity of the clash.
The Sect Master and a few more guests were at the scene, where Bai Lung had attracted the lightning judgment for reading the forbidden Scripture.
( you are reading a forbidden scripture, the only way to survive the lightning retribution is by reading this at Webnovel )
"Damn it... Someone must have gotten some powerful knowledge or treasure to attract the lightning tribulation," The Sect Master looked angry.
"Indeed it seems that person has already escaped... Let's search for him or her, I doubt that person might have escaped far away," one of the elders suggested.
———
The Sect Master nodded, his expression grim. "Fan out and scour the area. That individual could not have gotten too far. We must find them before they cause any more trouble,"
The disciple who had rushed here immediately sprang into action, fanning out in all directions to comb the surrounding sides.
However, they didn't find anything.
Even the guests of the Heaven Fall sect, we're searching yet found nothing.
Meanwhile,
At one corner,
"Hmm... I can sense dark and spatial energy from here," Qin Cheng said as she was exactly at the place where Bai Lung had vanished.
"Found you..." Princess Qi said while she looked at her brother, Prince Huan.
"I will be going for some time now..." Saying that Qin Cheng vanished into thin air.
The next moment, she descended into the wooden house, her lotus feet touching the ground.
"familiar presence..." Her eyes slightly widened as she recognized her fiancee.
Baam!
In an instant, she rushed inside, only to see Bai Lung passed out on the woman's lap.
"You... Who are you," Qin Cheng asked, her face totally stoic, as she closed the distance.
[ You already know who I am from our last meeting ]
"Indeed... Misses Digital fairy... Also known as System!"
