Chapter 186

Genius Bai Feng

The Xia family acted swiftly. News of Su Yu's plan to sell the Soul Devour Art quickly circulated. Along with it, word spread of how easily Su Yu had dispatched the students from the Top 100 Rankings using the Soul Devour Art. In truth, anyone who was genuinely paying attention had already known about the situation. *** Eighteenth Middle School. The back mountain. Inside the small cabin, Bai Feng looked exhausted, his face deathly pale. He casually spat out a mouthful of blood and shook his head. Over the past few days, the divine character in Liu Wenyan's Sea of Will had lashed back at him multiple times, jolting his own Sea of Will until coughing up blood had become second nature. Liu Wenyan looked at him and asked with concern, "Not dead yet, are you?" "..." Bai Feng felt that kind of concern was worse than none at all. Not bothering to bicker with his martial uncle, he shook his head. "Can't die yet! Martial Uncle, how on earth have you survived all these decades?" Bai Feng was genuinely full of respect and awe. "This thing has been shaking your Sea of Will nonstop. Shaking it for decades, and you could endure it?" Liu Wenyan smiled faintly. "You get used to it." Fine, habit really was a terrifying force. Bai Feng didn't dwell on it. After spending several days, he had finally figured out a few clues. In a serious tone, he said, "Martial Uncle, what you inherited wasn't just a single divine character, but multiple divine characters!" "Hm?" Liu Wenyan frowned. Nonsense—how many divine characters did I inherit, wouldn't I know best myself? "Really!" Bai Feng said solemnly, "It's a set of divine characters—most likely Martial Grandmaster's set of divine character battle techniques! Twenty-two divine characters combined into a single new divine character! I just probed it earlier and felt the counter-shock forces from different facets, and there are distinct differences..." Bai Feng gave a brief explanation before continuing, "Martial Uncle, you've been forcing your own divine characters into this already fused divine character. Even though you managed to shove them in, it won't work in the long run. If this goes on, either they completely fuse in the end, or your divine characters will be utterly devoured!" "Devoured?" "Yes!" Bai Feng nodded. Liu Wenyan pondered for a moment and asked, "You've been examining me for several days now. Do you have a solution or not?" "It's tricky..." Liu Wenyan gave him an unfriendly look. It's tricky? You treated me like a lab rat for days just to say it's tricky? Bai Feng chuckled. "Don't be hasty, Martial Uncle! It's tricky, sure, but there are still emergency measures!" Saying that, he looked at Liu Wenyan, his gaze turning somewhat peculiar. "Martial Uncle, before coming back, were you already prepared to shatter your own divine characters at a crucial moment so they would be absorbed by the inherited divine character, unleashing one massive burst of power?" Liu Wenyan said nothing. Bai Feng was not surprised either. He sighed, "I knew your return this time wouldn't be simple! Martial Uncle, your willpower is extraordinarily strong. Having been battered by this inherited divine character for decades without dying, your willpower is probably no weaker than that of a Shanhai—it must have reached the fourth tier, right? "The inherited divine character is fifth tier, or perhaps near sixth tier! "As for divine apertures, your Sea of Will was riddled like a sieve back then by this divine character, which also blasted open many of your divine apertures. Over the years, you haven't opened new divine apertures, but you've been constantly patching your Sea of Will. It actually resembles the Shanhai process of merging divine apertures. Now that you've finished patching it all up, does this count as successfully merging divine apertures?" Liu Wenyan smiled faintly without answering. Back then, he had nearly been killed by the shocks of this divine character, and his Sea of Will had suffered devastating damage. For fifty years, he truly had been continually patching and repairing it. "Sea of Will, divine apertures, divine characters... Martial Uncle, even if you excise this divine character now, you still have hope of entering the Shanhai Realm!" Bai Feng glanced at Liu Wenyan and said earnestly, "Martial Uncle, do you still want this divine character? If you don't, I actually have some confidence in extracting it. At worst, you'll need to recuperate for a while. Of course, your own divine characters will definitely suffer damage, but with some time, they can be repaired." "Strip it out?" "Yes!" Bai Feng nodded. "If it's stripped out, three years at most and you will reliably enter the Shanhai Realm!" Liu Wenyan remained silent. Strip it out... He shook his head. "This was left behind by my master. Unless... a truly more suitable person is found!" Bai Feng took a deep breath. "If you don't strip it out, this thing has yet to be fully fused by you even now. It's too powerful! Your previous plan was probably a final desperate gamble: unleash a powerful divine character strike to kill a Sun and Moon expert, wasn't it? "At that moment, you would shatter your own divine characters and tear apart your own Sea of Will, right?" Bai Feng stared at him with burning eyes. His martial uncle truly was someone who hid his strength—a quiet dog bites hard, or rather, a hidden master keeping a low profile! Having examined the situation, Bai Feng had already deduced his objective: a single strike to kill a Sun and Moon cultivator! He definitely had such an intention! Crippling his own divine characters and Sea of Will to slay a powerhouse and shock all sides. As for whether he could survive afterward... there was virtually no hope. Liu Wenyan smiled faintly. "You're overthinking it. I still want to live for many more years and step into the Invincible Realm!" "Fine, whatever you say, Martial Uncle." Bai Feng didn't mind. "Since you aren't willing to strip out this divine character, I have an idea. I wonder if you would agree to it?" "Speak." "Strip divine characters..." Liu Wenyan frowned. "I already said I'm not stripping it!" "Not stripping the entire divine character!" Bai Feng explained, "Martial Uncle, I don't know if I should say this, but after all, it isn't your own. What Martial Grandmaster passed down might not be suitable for you. If it truly were suitable, you would have successfully fused it decades ago! "What I mean is, this divine character should be formed by the fusion of twenty-two base divine characters. In truth, it isn't complete, and there are internal conflicts! According to my observations and judgments, if there really are twenty-two divine characters in there, the vast majority of them are human divine characters. Martial Grandmaster seemed to have quite an obsession with human divine characters. "My idea is: strip out all the non-human divine characters! "Dismantle this inherited divine character!" Liu Wenyan said in surprise, "Dismantle it? Brat, are you sure you aren't talking nonsense? I've studied this divine character for decades, and it's a single divine character! You insist on saying it's twenty-two, and now you want to dismantle it. Are you intentionally trying to get me killed?" "..." Bai Feng gave him an aggrieved look. Who was trying to get him killed? "Martial Uncle, trust me, I'm a genius!" "..." Bai Feng's eyes burned with fervor. "Seriously, I've conducted in-depth research on this. In the Human Realm, I doubt there are many who understand divine characters better than I do! Martial Uncle, it can definitely be dismantled. Even my Dragon Slaying Sword can be dismantled! "Dismantle this divine character, keep the useful divine characters, and fill the remaining gaps with your own divine characters!" Bai Feng grew more excited as he spoke. "Martial Uncle, divine characters from the god and demon races might be powerful, but I don't think they're of much use! You've outlined quite a few divine characters yourself. We excise the non-human divine characters from the inherited divine character, and fill in the missing base points with your own human divine characters! "That way, your divine characters and Martial Grandmaster's can truly merge into one! The inherited divine character will no longer reject you!" Liu Wenyan hesitated. "Won't the divine character's power decrease, then?" "It will!" Bai Feng nodded. "After all, the other divine characters are very powerful. If we excise them and substitute your divine characters in, your divine characters are still comparatively weak, which will lower the overall power of the divine character!" Bai Feng quickly added, "However, Martial Uncle, this is a process of purifying impurities! The power will weaken, and the divine character will weaken, but in the end, the future will be far brighter!" Liu Wenyan said testily, "This is the first time I've ever heard someone call god and demon divine characters impurities! Furthermore, within your martial grandmaster's divine character battle technique, the god and demon divine characters are extremely formidable. By current standards, those are eternal divine characters! Even eternal divine characters count as impurities now?" The divine characters left behind by the Fifth Head were all considered Sun and Moon Realm divine characters, which the human race referred to as eternal divine characters. Yet Bai Feng called removing them "eliminating impurities"! The sheer audacity of his tone was extraordinary. Bai Feng's eyes burned bright. "Yes, they are impurities! Martial Uncle, don't I have two Dragon Slaying Swords? Guess what they are? One was formed from all the non-human divine characters I stripped out—that's the powerful one, the one that killed Zhang Yu! "The weaker one was the one blocked by Zhang Yu! "Everyone thinks that between the two Dragon Slaying Swords, I must value the powerful one more. They're wrong. I care far more about the weaker one! As for the powerful Dragon Slaying Sword, I was even prepared for someone to shatter it!" Liu Wenyan's expression shifted as he looked at his martial nephew. To be honest, he had always felt that Bai Feng's aptitude was just mediocre, and his combat power... so-so! His so-called Dragon Slaying Sword was only fused from twelve base divine characters; it really was ordinary. When the tiger is away from the mountain, the monkey crowns himself king! Back in the day, could an expert of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction who only fused twelve divine characters be called invincible among peers? Then what about him, who had fused eighteen base divine characters? What about Xia Yunqi, who had fused seventeen? Zhao Mingyue, Hu Ping... which one of them wasn't stronger than Bai Feng? Not to mention them, even Zhang Ruoling, buried under the ground right here, had fused fifteen divine characters! Bai Feng... calling Bai Feng mediocre wasn't a lie; he really had seemed quite mediocre. Yet now, this fellow had truly exceeded his expectations. Liu Wenyan wasn't truly ignorant either. He frowned and said, "If your twelve base divine characters are shattered, then with your new Dragon Slaying Sword, there's no way to replenish the base divine characters!" In the Multiple Divine Characters Faction, base divine characters had to be added before the Tengkong Realm. Otherwise, the divine character battle technique would be ruined! "Martial Uncle!" Bai Feng gave him a bizarre look. "Martial Uncle, have you... not used your brain for years? Since I can dismantle a divine character battle technique, why wouldn't I be able to replenish it?" "..." At those words, Liu Wenyan had been about to thrash him, but in the next instant, his expression drastically changed! "You..." He stared at Bai Feng, his expression completely transformed! "Re... really?" His voice trembled slightly, showing even more emotional fluctuation than when discussing his own life and death! Dismantle, replenish... What did that mean? Why had the Multiple Divine Characters Faction declined? The most crucial reason was that all divine characters had to be outlined below the Tengkong Realm to fill the battle technique. Because once one reached Tengkong, divine character battle techniques became fixed and stabilized; they could not be dismantled or replenished, only further filled in! That was why experts of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction had to outline more than ten divine characters while still below Tengkong, which was exceedingly troublesome. How many people couldn't bear it, or simply couldn't suppress their cultivation, and ended up breaking through into Tengkong, no longer qualifying as experts of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction? Yet now... Liu Wenyan hadn't thought about it before. At this moment, he could not hide his shock. "You mean to say, because you can dismantle divine character battle techniques, even above Tengkong, one can still subsequently replenish divine character base points?!" "Yeah." Bai Feng nodded. Liu Wenyan's expression changed completely. "Go back! Return to the academy! I'll have Wu Yuehua escort you back. Pass this research down—you must pass it down! Dismantling, reorganizing, genius..." Liu Wenyan muttered, "This way, our Multiple Divine Characters Faction doesn't necessarily have to outline multiple divine characters below Tengkong! Even if someone doesn't succeed in outlining them beforehand, once above Tengkong, they can dismantle the battle technique and refill it! This... you've changed the traditional cultivation method of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction... Bai Feng, you are a genius!" For the first time, he praised Bai Feng as a genius! A true genius! He hadn't considered this question at all before. Right, if Bai Feng could dismantle his Dragon Slaying Sword, why couldn't he dismantle divine character base points and insert new divine characters? If that was the case, members of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction had no need to suppress themselves below Tengkong anymore! As Liu Wenyan thought about it, he suddenly asked, "Then... can people above Tengkong reorganize their divine characters? For example, could those from the Single Divine Character Faction supplement more divine characters and outline a divine character battle technique framework?" "Theoretically, yes!" Bai Feng nodded. "Of course, I still don't know how to resolve the framework issue yet. Above Tengkong, reasonably speaking, one can't enter the Battle Technique Wall to obtain a framework anymore. Without a fixed template, they can only rely on themselves to recombine and outline a new framework. The difficulty of that is enormous!" However, there was hope! Liu Wenyan understood what he meant. In other words, as long as members of the Single Divine Character Faction had enough divine characters, even if they were currently in Shanhai or Sun and Moon, there was hope for them to re-outline a divine character battle technique and transform into experts of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction! Bai Feng continued, "Actually, not outlining a framework works too. The so-called Multiple Divine Characters Faction, in my eyes, simply gave us a framework for an invincible divine character. A divine character battle technique shouldn't really be called a battle technique; instead, it should be called..." He stopped himself! Instead, it should be called the embryonic form of an innate divine character! In Bai Feng's eyes, several centuries ago, the predecessors had actually laid out an Invincible path for Civilization Masters. But that group of people back then seemed unable to walk this path to completion, likely restricted by divine characters. In truth, the Invincible path for Civilization Masters had existed long ago! The Multiple Divine Characters Faction was that Invincible path! Yet those predecessors had ultimately failed because they didn't realize one thing—the most critical point: god and demon divine characters were obstructing their advancement! The Fifth Head might have noticed it! Bai Feng had also noticed a difference: within the divine character Liu Wenyan inherited, the number of god and demon divine characters was very small, and it consisted primarily of human divine characters. Clearly, the Fifth Head had believed that having human divine characters make up the majority could alleviate this conflict! It could suppress the repulsive forces of the god and demon divine characters! Unfortunately, he had still failed. The Fifth Head had possessed a chance of success; Bai Feng felt that if human divine characters truly made up the majority while god and demon characters were few, there was indeed hope of suppressing that repulsion. Regrettably, he had still fallen short. While Bai Feng was still lost in these thoughts, Liu Wenyan looked at him with an agitated expression. "You bastard, you shouldn't have pursued the combat path at all! Brat, listen to me: as a mere Tengkong, staying here is meaningless. Go back! Return to the academy, perfect all of this, perfect this research! I originally thought the hope of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction lay in me, in your master, in Xia Yunqi and the others, because they would grow powerful... "But now, I suddenly understand. Civilization Masters... what's the use of a Civilization Master merely being strong? If you can't even reach the Invincible Realm, what is the point of sheer strength? Even someone as mighty as my master was killed on the battlefield! "The true strength of Civilization Masters lies in endless exploration and pursuit of knowledge! You've achieved it... Bai Feng, go back!" Perfect all this and pass it down! In a few years, anyone would be able to cultivate the path of the Multiple Divine Characters Faction. Anyone would be able to cultivate divine character battle techniques. They would no longer be restricted to outlining so many divine characters below the Tengkong Realm. Bai Feng... at this moment, in his eyes, Bai Feng was even more significant than the divine character passed down by the Fifth Head, more important than Hong Tan, and more important than himself. This brat was the true flame of civilization! With a proud look on his face, Bai Feng smiled. "Martial Uncle, I told you long ago that I'm a genius, but you refused to believe it and kept scolding me all the time! Do you believe it now?" "I believe you, I believe you..." Liu Wenyan nodded. He truly believed it. He couldn't even fathom how this kid's brain was wired. How had he managed to dismantle a divine character battle technique? It was utterly incredible! Bai Feng chuckled. "Martial Uncle, for me to be such a genius, I also have to thank you for cultivating such a fine disciple for me!" He tossed in a compliment for Su Yu. If not for Su Yu, he wouldn't have thought so much, nor would he have focused entirely on innate divine characters. Such a concept—including the name itself—might very well have appeared for the first time! Before this, there had only been innate skills and innate blood essence. Even the research into innate blood essence had only begun with Hong Tan's generation. "Su Yu?" "Yeah..." Bai Feng nodded, then quickly said, "Martial Uncle, let's not talk about that now. Why drive me away? It's not like we're guaranteed to lose! What I mean is, I'll help you strip the divine characters into two separate systems: a human system and an alien system! "You retain the human system. As for the alien system, you can detonate it, destroy it! There are so-called eternal divine characters in there, extraordinarily powerful—maybe you can even blast a Sun and Moon cultivator to death! "Of course, the human system left behind will definitely suffer a sharp drop in strength!" Bai Feng smiled. "Just like my two Dragon Slaying Swords. If I destroy the powerful one now, my strength will plummet and I'll be heavily injured, but going forward, I believe I can walk much further! "I might even drop in cultivation realm, falling from the eighth level down to the third or fourth. That doesn't matter!" Bai Feng looked at Liu Wenyan. "Martial Uncle, originally, this divine character of yours could be considered an invincible divine character—only a true Invincible Realm powerhouse could possess such power. After stripping it, it will probably only be around the Sun and Moon Realm... but it will be purer, and its future will be much better!" Liu Wenyan frowned, asking in a low voice, "How long will stripping it take?" "Well... this divine character is too powerful. It will take at least a few months for me to do it bit by bit. Or my teacher and I can join hands. Even though he doesn't understand the theory, as long as I instruct him, the technical aspect won't be a problem!" Bai Feng wore an arrogant, smug look. It didn't matter if his teacher didn't understand—he would teach him. Hong Tan was proficient enough when it came to technique; stripping divine characters was also a specialty of their faction! "A few months..." Liu Wenyan frowned. A few months was far too long! After pondering for a moment, Liu Wenyan asked, "Then can we hold off on stripping it for now and let me unleash a portion of the divine character's power?" Bai Feng fell into deep contemplation, only speaking after a long pause: "It's possible! But doing so might easily cause some of the human divine characters to shatter—I mean the ones you outlined yourself, Martial Uncle. If that happens, even if we strip it afterward, you'll have to spend much more time outlining divine characters again!" "That's no big issue!" Liu Wenyan said in a heavy voice, "Over the years, I've outlined far too many divine characters—so many that even I can barely handle them. It doesn't matter if some shatter!" "..." Bai Feng was suddenly rendered speechless! True enough! The densely packed cluster of divine characters in his martial uncle's Sea of Will had sent chills down his spine just looking at them. Liu Wenyan looked at him again. "Are you sure you won't leave? Brat, if the legacy of this technique is cut off, the loss would be catastrophic. I even feel that abandoning our current Multiple Divine Characters Faction would be acceptable..." Bai Feng smiled. "The technique isn't perfected yet, and I'm still considering whether one can truly replenish divine characters after shattering the others. I need more real examples to prove it! And I am the best experimental subject! "And you as well, Martial Uncle!" Bai Feng smiled. "After all, I'm only at Tengkong, whereas your divine characters are much stronger. That way, after we shatter the other divine characters, we can clearly know whether replenishment is truly possible, making further contributions to research and providing concrete proof!" With a touch of fanaticism, Bai Feng continued, "Martial Uncle, don't worry. I left some research materials for that brat Su Yu regarding this! Of course, that little bastard might not take them seriously right away, but whether we die or survive, he will study those materials carefully! "If we die, he'll have to figure out the research on his own. If we don't die, we can use ourselves as research subjects to provide superior data and prove that all of this works!" Liu Wenyan said no more, sinking into contemplation. Dismantling divine character battle techniques, replenishing them afterward, human divine characters having the least repulsion... Each point evoked many thoughts in his mind. Suddenly, he sent a voice transmission: "You are probably right!" "Hm?" "Before your martial grandmaster died, he once told me that although human divine characters are weak, they are best suited for the human race! Perhaps to step into the Invincible Realm, one must walk the path of our own race rather than borrowing the paths of outsiders!" After saying that, he transmitted again, "Your martial grandmaster also said back then that he had always been puzzled by one thing: why do the original cultivation manuals of the myriad races last much longer than those of the human race? Whereas human manuals have a short shelf life... It's a technical issue, but it makes no sense that every other race among the myriad races possesses this technology, while only the human race lacks it! "He traced the origin of this technique and found it might come from the Primordial God Race within the god race, but the human race alone was never granted this technique..." Bai Feng blinked. What did that mean? Soon, he thought of something and asked hesitantly, "Martial Uncle, do you mean... the reason the Primordial God Race shared this long-term preservation technique with all the other races was to entrap us? So that the cultivation manuals of the myriad races we obtain can be preserved for a long time, while the human race's texts of will cannot be easily preserved, causing humans themselves not to care much about human texts of will since they would expire sooner or later anyway?" Liu Wenyan shook his head—not in denial, but out of uncertainty. If that truly was the case, it meant the god race—or rather, the Primordial God Race—knew the reality all along. They knew humans needed human divine characters to advance to the Invincible Realm, so they laid out this grand scheme early on, deliberately waiting for the human race to take the bait! Was the human race... worth such an effort from them? Probably! After all, humans were among the top ten races, possessing immense strength. The only regret was that Civilization Masters could not step into the Invincible Realm. Because there were no Invincible Civilization Masters, the role warriors could play, at times, still couldn't fully compare to what Civilization Masters could accomplish. Liu Wenyan let out a soft breath. "Never mind all that. Since you believe your path is the right one, then keep walking it! Your martial grandmaster probably had similar suspicions back then, but alas... sigh!" Regrettably, the Fifth Head had likely failed to think it through completely, ultimately attempting to advance with half human and half god-and-demon divine characters, leading to failure in the end. "Since you're not leaving, help me try suppressing the backlash so I have a chance to strike..." Liu Wenyan asked, "Can you do that?" "We can try, but I can't guarantee success..." Even as Bai Feng spoke, a cold shout suddenly rang out from outside: "Bai Feng, come out!" Bai Feng's face changed slightly! Then he couldn't help cursing under his breath, "That bastard! Fuck! He's here. Martial Uncle, I'm in trouble!" "Xia Yuwen?" "Yes!" Liu Wenyan's expression also changed. He said in a grave voice, "What I said earlier still stands: I'll have Yuehua escort you out and take you back to the academy, then let Wan Tiansheng intervene!" Bai Feng ground his teeth. "No, I'm going to have it out with him! That bastard has always assumed I'm afraid of him! Even if I shatter my Dragon Slaying Sword today, I'm going to make him suffer big time! Who does he think he is, acting so arrogant?" Liu Wenyan looked at him and asked suddenly, "Did you guess long ago that he would come, so you dismantled your Dragon Slaying Sword specifically to use him for practice?" Bai Feng looked sheepish. Not at all! I didn't think like that! In any case, he had already prepared to shatter the Dragon Slaying Sword, but after cultivating it for so many years, shattering it just like that felt wasteful. Against a Shanhai, it wouldn't do much good. Against a Tengkong, he couldn't bear to waste it—they weren't worth it. Against a Lingyun, how many Lingyuns were worth shattering his Dragon Slaying Sword over? Even though he felt he no longer needed it, letting it shatter for nothing was also not worth it. After thinking it over, the only people worthy of him shattering this Dragon Slaying Sword were a select few! For example... Xia Yuwen! Below the third level of Lingyun—wasn't the restriction aimed precisely at people like him? "Martial Uncle... if I shatter the Dragon Slaying Sword... my main divine character is still inside it..." Bai Feng felt a slight lingering fear. "If the backlash kills me on the spot, you better not die! Remember to tell that kid Su Yu about my research and have him carry on the legacy..." As he spoke, he suddenly thought of something. He hurriedly pulled out his communication device and dialed Su Yu's number. The moment the call connected, he spoke rapidly: "My earlier hypothesis was probably right. Is anyone next to you right now?" "No!" "Good. Take a close look at the materials I left you. Also, if I kick the bucket, try stripping my divine character battle technique and making it into a civilization chronicle to see if you can keep it as a memento!" Su Yu seemed to realize what was going on. "Teacher, did you run into trouble?" "It's alright!" "A Shanhai?" "No, just an idiot. I'm just putting it out there—in a moment, it might very well be that idiot who suffers bad luck!" "...Xia Yuwen?" "Oh, you know about him?" "I met him once. I beat his disciple half to death..." "Good, well done. Now I'm going to beat him half to death. Hanging up!" "..." The call disconnected. Bai Feng grinned. "Martial Uncle, now everything is settled!" Liu Wenyan asked in a heavy tone, "Are you determined to try it?" "Yes. Otherwise, I won't be satisfied, nor can I rest easy. What if after shattering those foreign divine characters, the battle technique completely breaks and vanishes?" Bai Feng said seriously, "Without more real examples to prove that this works, someone has to try it! Otherwise, if it's false or if my deduction is flawed, it will mislead countless people!" Liu Wenyan fell silent. Outside, an imposing aura surged high! "Bai Feng, I await you out here!" A clear shout rang out once more. Liu Wenyan frowned. "The Xia family... he's from Yunqi's lineage. How did he end up like this?" Xia Yunqi was the younger brother of Vice Principal Xia Changqing, and Xia Yuwen was Xia Changqing's grandson, meaning the two belonged to the same lineage. Bai Feng dismissed it offhandedly. "That guy is so used to winning all the time; he's always been like this because he's never experienced a severe beating! He doesn't know how harsh the real world is. Martial Uncle, I'm going out to face him!" "Be... careful!" Liu Wenyan sighed, then suddenly sent a voice transmission outside: "Protect Bai Feng, don't let anything happen to him! At worst... we'll turn them all upside down right now! If that useless Hong Tan doesn't show up soon, we might as well assume he died on the road!" Outside the door, several Shanhai experts exchanged strange looks. That fellow Hong Tan... was truly slow on the road!
