629: Chapter 629 Stepping into the Bai Family!

Bai Sanlong opened his eyes, glanced at his son, and spoke in a low voice.

"The Family Head is very angry."

"Bai Zhantang was one of his most capable subordinates, and the 108 Secret Guards were the elite force of the Bai family."

"Now, they're all gone."

He paused, his voice deepening further.

"The Family Head said this matter cannot be left at that."

A flash of ruthlessness crossed Bai Chi's eyes: "Of course it can't! That Ye Chen must die!"

Bai Sanlong watched his son's teeth-gritting expression, remained silent for a moment, and said indifferently: "Don't be impulsive yet. The Family Head is already gathering people."

Bai Chi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly sat up straight.

"Dad, what does the Family Head intend to do?"

A meaningful, cold smile curled at the corner of Bai Sanlong's mouth.

"The ones Ye Chen killed aren't just from our Bai family."

He paused, held up three fingers, and folded them down one by one.

"Liu Shenfeng of the Hehuan Sect, Zhou Xuanji of the Tianyi Sect, Gongsun Yunshang of the Ghost Sect, Uesugi Megumi of the Emperors Gate..."

"Among the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates, which one hasn't had an elder killed by him?"

Bai Chi's breathing suddenly became rapid, and a light of excitement flashed in his eyes: "Dad, you mean..."

Bai Sanlong nodded.

"The Family Head has already sent people to contact the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates."

"When the time comes, all the major powers will dispatch a large number of experts to pressure the Dragon Group together."

"They'll force the Dragon Group to hand him over!"

Bai Chi slapped his thigh hard and sprang up from the sofa, his face filled with wild joy.

"Brilliant!"

"Force the Dragon Group to hand him over!"

"If the Dragon Group agrees due to the pressure, they'll have to help us take down Ye Chen!"

"If the Dragon Group doesn't agree, then the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates will have a reason to launch a full-scale attack. Even if the Dragon Group wants to protect him, they won't be able to!"

"After all..."

"It was Ye Chen who killed people from the Kunlun Ruins first. There's a reason to strike back!"

He grew more excited as he spoke, pacing back and forth in the living room.

"Dad, this move is absolutely brilliant!"

"That bastard Ye Chen, relying on a bit of strength to make enemies everywhere, is finally going to pay the price for his arrogance!"

Bai Sanlong nodded slightly.

"Exactly."

"This time, Ye Chen..."

...won't be able to escape even if he had wings."

Bai Chi sat back down on the sofa. Father and son looked at each other and laughed in unison.

However.

Right at that moment!

"Da-da-da—"

A series of hurried footsteps came from outside the villa.

Bai Chi's brow furrowed slightly as he turned to look at the door.

Old Zhao, the butler, ran in panting.

"M-Master, Young Master!"

Bai Sanlong put down his teacup and glanced at him indifferently: "What's all the fuss about?"

Old Zhao swallowed hard.

"Second Aunt and Third Aunt are back!"

"What?!"

Bai Chi's expression changed drastically, and he bolted up from the sofa.

Bai Sanlong's brow also furrowed tightly, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

Second Aunt—Bai Wanqing.

Third Aunt—Bai Shanshan.

Back then, the two sisters had a world-shaking row with him. They eventually broke ties and left the capital, heading south to Xiamen City, and hadn't returned for three to five years.

Why had they suddenly returned now?

"How many people... did they bring?" Bai Sanlong asked in a heavy voice.

Old Zhao wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Just... just the two of them, and a young man who looks like a Bodyguard."

Bai Sanlong's face turned even gloomier.

Bai Shanshan was still in the hands of the Kunlun Ruins' Bai family last night, then rescued by Ye Chen, and now she's at the capital's Bai family first thing in the morning. What does this mean?

To show off?

To settle scores?

Or...

To seek revenge?

Countless thoughts flashed through Bai Sanlong's mind, each one making a chill run down his spine.

"Dad, who do you think that young man is?" Bai Chi's eyes flickered.

Bai Sanlong didn't answer, but instead looked at Old Zhao: "Bring up the surveillance from outside."

Old Zhao hurriedly complied and jogged to the security room.

In less than a minute, Old Zhao ran back holding a tablet, presenting it with both hands.

Bai Sanlong took the tablet, and Bai Chi leaned in as well.

The gaze of the father and son fell on the screen.

In the surveillance footage, three people were standing outside the Bai family villa's main gate.

Leading them was a woman in a white trench coat, her long hair draped over her shoulders, possessing a cold and elegant temperament.

It was indeed Bai Wanqing.

Half a step behind her stood a young woman in a police uniform, looking heroic and valiant—it was Bai Shanshan.

And next to the two of them, a young man stood there with his hands in his pockets, a beaming smile on his face...

It was none other than Ye Chen.

Bai Chi's expression changed drastically.

"That bastard actually dares to come to our Bai family?"

"I'll kill him!"

As he spoke, he turned to rush outside.

"Stop!"

Bai Sanlong gave a sharp shout, his voice echoing in the living room like a clap of thunder.

Bai Chi's footsteps halted abruptly, and he froze in place.

He turned his head and looked at his father in disbelief: "Dad! That bastard has come to our doorstep, and you won't let me go out? What will others think of us?"

Bai Sanlong's face was as dark as water.

"Chi'er, don't be impulsive."

"First tell them I'm not here."

Bai Chi couldn't hold it back: "Wait... Dad, are you afraid of him?"

Bai Sanlong's expression became even uglier.

Of course he was afraid.

The ones sent by the Kunlun Ruins' Bai family last night were the 108 Secret Guards, and their leader Bai Zhantang was an expert at the peak of the Late Golden Core Stage.

And the result?

Total annihilation.

Bai Zhantang died in battle.

Ye Chen was completely unscathed.

Against such a person, what could his secular Bai family use to block him?

"Chi'er, listen to me."

Bai Sanlong took a deep breath, his voice low.

"Ye Chen's current strength is unfathomable. Even the elites of the Kunlun Ruins' Bai family were no match for him. It's simply impossible for our secular Bai family to take him down."

Bai Chi gnashed his teeth, his eyes full of resentment.

"We have firearms! We have guns! We have grenades!"

"No matter how strong he is, he's still human. Can he really withstand bullets?"

"Dad, let me mobilize a team and turn him into a sieve right at the door!"

Bai Sanlong's gaze sharpened.

That's right.

Bullets might not be much of a threat to Cultivators; experts at the Heaven Realm and above can withstand small-caliber bullets.

But what about more powerful thermal weapons?

Sniper rifles?

Rocket launchers?

Even...

He looked at Bai Chi, took a deep breath, and his voice lowered: "Chi'er, go make the arrangements."

Bai Chi was stunned for a moment, then a flash of wild joy appeared in his eyes, and he nodded frantically.

"Dad, I'm going right now!"

He turned and ran toward the backyard.

Bai Sanlong then looked toward Old Zhao: "Let them in. I want to see what they're up to."

"Yes!"

Old Zhao bowed and withdrew.

A short while later.

The main gate of the Bai family villa slowly opened.

Ye Chen, Bai Wanqing, and Bai Shanshan stepped into the main hall.

Inside the hall, Bai Sanlong sat on the sofa, holding a cup of tea, his posture composed.

Bai Wanqing walked at the front, her gaze falling on Bai Sanlong.

Last night, when she received the news that Bai Shanshan was safe, she almost booked a flight to go find Ye Chen and her sister immediately.

But Ye Chen told her to come directly to the Bai family.

Therefore.

The parties met at the capital's airport this morning and then came here together.

It had been five whole years.

She hadn't stepped into this house for five years.

Every piece of furniture, every painting, every lamp here was exactly the same as in her memory.

But the people were no longer the same.

"Bai Sanlong, we meet again."

Bai Wanqing spoke indifferently.

Bai Sanlong's brow furrowed slightly, but quickly smoothed out.

"Second Sister, didn't you say you'd never step into this house again?"

"What have you come back for now?"

Bai Wanqing looked at him, expressionless: "To settle scores with you."

The smile on Bai Sanlong's face froze, and the atmosphere in the living room instantly turned cold.

"Settle scores with me?"

"Second Sister, where is this coming from?"

"Although we haven't seen each other for years, we are siblings after all. When have I ever offended you?"

He was feigning ignorance.

Right now...

The most important thing for them was to stall for time!

As long as they could stall until Bai Chi brought people over, it would be fine.

He didn't believe it.

Could thermal weapons really not kill Ye Chen?

Once he could take Ye Chen down, his secular Bai family would have achieved a great feat!

Then entering the Kunlun Ruins would be a piece of cake, wouldn't it?"

Bai Wanqing gave a cold laugh.

"Siblings? Bai Sanlong, are you even worthy of those words?"

"My sister was kidnapped twice, and you didn't have a hand in it? Do you think I'm that gullible?"

Bai Sanlong's expression changed slightly.

Bai Wanqing continued.

"When we two sisters left back then, I said that you weren't allowed to target my sister."

"Otherwise..."

"Even if it meant my death, I would fight you to the end!"

Bai Shanshan stood behind her sister, her eyes turning slightly red.

Her sister had always protected her like this.

Even though she was now a Heaven Realm Expert, while her sister was just an ordinary person.

Bai Sanlong's face darkened completely.

"Second Sister, you're wronging me with those words."

"I never heard anything about Shanshan being kidnapped."

"If you hadn't brought it up, I probably wouldn't even know."

He paused, his eyes narrowing slightly, "Besides, now that she's returned safely, why must you pin such a label on me?"

Bai Wanqing's cold laugh grew even more intense.

"Bai Sanlong, do you take me for a fool?"

"If the Kunlun Ruins' Bai family wanted to bring someone out of the Kunlun Ruins undetected, they would inevitably have to pass through the defense line."

"But the defense line was never triggered. Don't you have any idea why?"

"The Bai family has people within the defense line!"

"To turn a blind eye and let a group of people through the pass is simply a piece of cake!"
