Chapter 58 Eight Grand Protectors!

Their gazes only held approval for the young genius in the past, but now they were filled with curiosity for the mysterious teenager. And admiration.

Ling Xi had already made an appearance at the Family Meeting, but the Yang patriarch never expected this mysterious object to be so powerful. He looked at Long Chen in a daze with pride and contentment in his heart. Look at this kid! If I am defeated today, I can leave this world without regrets knowing I have a grandson like him. But Xueqing and the rest don’t deserve to die ...

This was not a good thing for Bai Sheng.

Losing confidence, he looked at Xue Yuanzi hurriedly. “Senior Xue Yuanzi ...”

Xue Yuanzi stood there, not moving. No one knew what was happening with him either, but there were no visible injuries on his body. Bai Sheng thought that he was just curious and surprised by Ling Xi’s appearance.

So he continued, “Senior Xue Yuanzi, we’re open to negotiation. I promised you one Ascension Fruit already, so I won’t give you anything less than that. If you’re looking for women, the girls of the Bai family are better than the Yang family! Senior Brother, forget about this abandoned woman that is Yang Xueqing. If you’re looking for talent, this Long Chen kid hates you to the bone. No matter how you raise him, he’ll just turn around and bite you in the end ...”

The Yang patriarch’s brows furrowed tightly once more when he heard Bai Sheng. Seeing that Xue Yuanzi hadn’t objected, Bai Sheng turned to look at the Yang patriarch with contempt.

Looks like he’s going to destroy the Yang family today. It’s a pity ... Chen’er is only sixteen ...

The Yang patriarch sighed.

He looked at Xue Yuanzi, who didn’t move, then at Long Chen. When he thought of the gulf between their cultivation levels, he knew that there was no hope. The mysterious girl that appeared in front of Long Chen just now seemed to have used a very powerful sword technique. Yet she didn’t harm Xue Yuanzi at all ...

He was also completely in the dark regarding Ying Xi.

Xue Yuanzi looked unscathed and seemed to be moved by Bai Sheng’s words, so Bai Sheng turned to Long Chen and the Yang patriarch smugly. “Senior Xue Yuanzi, if you agree, I humbly request your help in killing this brat ... Huh?”

Bai Sheng suddenly saw a fresh drop of blood drip from between Xue Yuanzi’s eyebrows. Having sharp vision, he quickly noticed a tiny wound there. And then he quickly saw another drop of blood on the back of Xue Yuanzi’s head!

He was so shocked that he was speechless!

Just from this, he knew that Xue Yuanzi wasn’t speaking not because he didn’t want to, but because his brain had just been punctured! Although the wound was extremely small, it was enough to kill a man!

Xue Yuanzi is dead?

This unfathomable thought had just crossed Bai Sheng\'s mind when Xue Yuanzi’s body crashed into the ground.

Long Chen had long sensed that the old man had lost his life force. When he saw the body fall, he was even more impressed by Ling Xi’s mysterious powers. I have a feeling that Xiao Xi is extremely powerful ...

Long Chen looked at Bai Sheng, who was visibly shaken by Xue Yuanzi’s death. Bai Sheng looked back and shook his head, saying, “That’s impossible. Xue Yuanzi is a master at the Human Core Realm. How could you have possibly killed him? Even that strange girl ... That’s impossible ...”

But when he looked at Xue Yuanzi’s corpse, he had a sudden thought. His face shone with manic glee as he turned to Long Chen and the Yang patriarch, laughing. “Xue Yuanzi’s dead! And the Yang family is done for! Xue Yuanzi is one of the Eight Grand Protectors of the Blood Saints! You just killed one of their Grand Protectors! There’s no way the Blood Saints will let you live! Haha! You people are so dead!”

Long Chen indeed had not expected Xue Yuanzi to have a high position in the Blood Saints, but the deed had been done. All he could do was accept fate! “We’ll deal with the Blood Saints later. The most pressing matter now is to kill these two animals from the Bai family!”

The Yang patriarch finally came back to his senses too. He was well aware of the terrifying consequences of killing someone from the Blood Saints, but the man was already dead. There were more pressing matters before them, like saving Yang Xueqing, killing the Bai brothers, and getting the Ascension Fruits!

The Yang patriarch looked at the teenager. His grandson had grown so much more powerful in the past month. He could barely react to Long Chen’s immense improvement. “Chen’er, you’ve given me such a huge surprise. Twice now you’ve displayed your prowess, basically single-handedly saving the Yang family. How will an old man like me return your kindness?”

Now that Xue Yuanzi was dead, the Yang patriarch and Long Chen knew to end the matter as quickly as possible.

The Yang patriarch kept Bai Sheng occupied while Long Chen prepared to save Yang Xueqing. But to Long Chen’s surprise, Bai Li, who had been lying on the ground severely injured, suddenly got up and rushed over to Yang Xueqing. He arrived before Long Chen could, and his two bloodied hands were already clutching Yang Xueqing’s head! “You brat! If you dare take one more step, I’ll squeeze this woman’s head into a pulp!”

Bai Li’s violent threat made Long Chen stop immediately. Bai Sheng and Bai Li reunited once more, while the furious Yang patriarch stood with Long Chen.

It was just one crisis after another.

Long Chen looked at them both with his fists clenched tight.

Like they say, the oldest gingers are the spiciest. Bai Li wasn’t as injured as I thought he was; he was only pretending to be severely hurt. Looks like he was biding his time to hold my mother hostage! I can’t believe I didn’t notice this!

Long Chen blamed himself for this. He had placed all his attention on the powerful Xue Yuanzi and forgot about Bai Li. But he never would’ve expected the man to fake an injury! I will never show mercy in battle again. I must destroy my enemies completely, because if I show any weakness, it will only end up like this!

Yang Xueqing was a hostage once more. If Long Chen moved, Bai Li would kill her immediately. Even if Long Chen killed the Bai brothers and got the Ascension Fruits afterwards, the pain in his heart would probably last for the rest of his life!

If that happened, he would never forgive himself!

Long Chen’s rage had hit its peak when Xue Yuanzi touched Yang Xueqing. Then, it slowly started fading after Xue Yuanzi was finally killed. Now, Bai Li’s actions triggered the tsunami of rage within him once more!

Sensing the anger from Long Chen, the Yang patriarch gripped his arm tight. “Chen’er, don’t move. Hold it in. Let me deal with these sly foxes!”

He then looked at the two Bai brothers and said, “Bai Li, Bai Sheng, don’t do anything yet. Just tell me what your terms are. As long as they are reasonable, we will oblige!”

Bai Sheng and Bai Li locked eyes. Knowing they had successfully targeted the Yang family’s weakness, they each smirked and knew what the other was thinking.

Bai Li’s palm spun slowly on Yang Xueqing’s head, smearing blood across her hair. Ignoring Long Chen’s glare, Bai Li said nonchalantly, “It’s simple. The three Ascension Fruits belong to the Bai family. And that brat needs to lose one arm.”

The Yang patriarch and Long Chen froze. They would never agree to give away three of the Ascension Fruits. And asking Long Chen to cut off one of his arms was even more impossible.

The Bai family was in an extremely advantageous position. If they came out of this with three Ascension Fruits, the Bai brothers would soon reach the Divine Pill Realm. However, they were afraid of being killed by Long Chen before that happened, so they needed to see him lose one arm for them to sleep well. And when they reached the Divine Pill Realm, the Yang family would be destroyed!

The Yang patriarch replied coldly, “What is the meaning of this? Those are preposterous terms! You two lack a shred of sincerity. We’ve known each other for many years, so you know me well, Bai Sheng. I can only give you two Ascension Fruits at most, or mark my words, I, Yang Cangqiong, will fight the Bai family to the death no matter the cost! Then we shall see if there are more deaths on your side, or my side!”

Since Long Chen was more powerful than Bai Li, the Yang family had surpassed the Bai family. Bai Sheng and Bai Li knew exactly what that entailed.

Therefore, the Bai brothers locked eyes again, and Bai Sheng said solemnly, “Fine, two Ascension Fruits it is, then. But we have one more condition. Yang Xueqing shall stay in the Bai residence until we reach the Divine Pill Realm. She has married my son, so she’s considered a Bai family member now anyway.”

This was Bai Sheng and Bai Li’s final condition. Even with two Ascension Fruits in hand, they were sure to be defeated without Yang Xueqing as a hostage. That was why they needed to keep her close.

Yang Xueqing was both anxious and furious that she had burdened her family. To her dismay, the metal chain was tied too tightly and she could not escape Bai Li at all!

“Father! Don’t listen to him! Just leave me! These two Bai scum will only take more and more! If you let them both enter the Divine Pill Realm, the Yang family will die!”

Yang Xueqing gazed at the Yang patriarch with tears in her eyes, then she took one longing look at Long Chen. The suffering and warring emotions within her eyes broke the Yang patriarch’s eyes. As a father, he knew very well how much pain his daughter had endured. “Father, I have not been a filial daughter. I can only repay your love in the next lifetime!

“Chen’er ...”

When she gazed at Long Chen, Yang Xueqing could no longer hold her tears back. Tears flowed freely down her pale cheeks as she cried, “I’m sorry ... If there’s an afterlife, I swear I will love you better ... Farewell!”

After she spoke, Yang Xueqing smiled like she was breaking free from the suffering. Bai Sheng and Bai Li’s faces changed instantly. They knew Yang Xueqing was about to kill herself.
