Chapter 126: 11) The Hidden realm

Bai Lung's eyes gleamed with unholy delight as he observed the burgeoning chaos unfolding before him.

The fish had taken the bait, rushing headlong into his meticulously crafted trap.

Now, it was time to set the final pieces in motion.

With a subtle flick of his wrist, Bai Lung created a little dazzling orange fireball and shot it toward the crowd.

Boom! Baaam!

A loud explosion occurred where few people had gathered.

"W-What... Who dares to lotus blossom sect? You must be courting death,"

"Lotus Blossom? Pfft~ who dares to attack our mighty Huan family, trust me, our Alchemist association will never sell pills to your entire bloodline,"

"Oh! Alchemist association? Sorry senior brother... But, our celestial pagoda sect was also attacked, we should work together,"

"Hmph!"

"L-Look there there is dazzling orange flame-like aura, blazing there... The attack must have come from there," one of the people said pointing in the direction where Yang Khan was strengthening his fire runes.

"Hmm... That makes sense! It seems someone who attacked us is here,"

"I believe the same... Let's go and teach him a lesson,"

"Let's do that,"

Being a protagonist, his ability to generate hate from the public was very great, where three people in an instant decided to teach him a lesson just because he was currently surrounded by an orange aura, which was the same as a fireball that attacked them out of nowhere.

...

Meanwhile,

Yang Khan who was seated crossed-legged in lotus position, opened his eyes gritting his teeth.

Previously, he had praised himself for arriving here soon, but due to the explosion, he knew many people were already outside the tomb to the private world of the immortal.

Clenching his fist, he looked at the distance... He had an uneasiness creeping at the bottom of his heart.

He doesn't know why, but he has a feeling that something bad is about to happen to him.

...

'Hmm... I can sense multiple auras rushing towards me... The strong hatred coming from them... I don't have any problem with anyone, so, why are they so hateful towards me?'

Who could it be?

He unleashed a dazzling barrage of fiery projectiles, his power surging as he fought desperately to keep the enraged cultivators away from him but it was very hard, fighting so many people.

But even amidst the chaos, his senses remained sharply attuned, scanning the area for any sign of the unseen puppet master pulling the strings behind the scene.

Suddenly, a flicker of movement caught his eye - a familiar figure observing the battle from the periphery.

Yang Khan's heart raced as he recognized the distinct aura.

It was Bai Lung, the same person who had crippled him, the dark ominous cloud in his life.

His sharp eyes were capable of piercing the Bai Lung's presence-removing barrier.

'So, it was you all along,' Yang Khan thought, his jaw clenching in a mixture of fury and dread.

'You've orchestrated this entire charade to humiliate and ensnare me, a shepherd taking all of your sheep to eat someone's harvest,'

All while,

Bai Lung's eyes gleamed with unholy delight, as if he could sense Yang Khan's realization.

'How fascinating... To think he could see me. However, everything is done... Everyone is greatly weakened. I believe I can kill all birds with a single stone,"

With a subtle flick of his wrist, he summoned a swarm of mystical talismans, each one imbued with a potent spell.

Instantly the sky felt oppressive.

The weakened cultivators began to look at each other.

"Why is this guy hard as a shield of turtle... We are so many but we can't hit him at all,"

"I don't know... His defensive mechanics is pretty strong,"

"indeed... Those magical runes are saving his ass from getting whipped,"

"W-Wait... Look back, what is this,"

Just then they turned back to be greeted with lots of powerful talismans, the aura making them feel pressured.

"Not good... We are Doomed!"

Gulp!

"Time for me to get some origins..."
