86: Chapter 86 My Great-Grandfather Will Not Let You Off

On the battlefield, it currently appeared that Bai Xuaner was slightly gaining the upper hand, relying on the demon-slaying blade and her special Divine Statue Manifestation technique.

However, these Sumeru tentacles had only been using four tentacles to engage her from the beginning until now; this was clearly very wrong.

"Your Highness, it seems your granddaughter is about to be defeated."

In fact, the White Elephant King had long seen that Bai Xuaner was no match for the Sumeru tentacles within the mist, but only after being reminded by Kang Dalei did he reluctantly sigh faintly and say:

"Indeed, Xuaner is going to be defeated."

As a titled King, he could not openly stop his own people from defending against the enemy, but if they couldn't win and retreated, then that would be a different matter.

"Huan, you go and bring Xuaner back; she is no match for this demon."

The White Elephant King waved his hand, and the Wrinkled Old Man, who had not made any move until now, stepped out, bowed, and dashed out in the blink of an eye.

Originally, the White Elephant King had wanted to let Kang Dalei make a move, which would also be a good opportunity to cultivate feelings with Bai Xuaner, but seeing his previous actions, he dismissed this idea.

As the Wrinkled Old Man rushed out to rescue Bai Xuaner, the system in Kang Dalei's mind sounded at this moment.

[Ding-dong, temporary mission released: Resolve the danger to Xibai Pass, rescue Bai Xuaner, rescue the commoners outside the city, kill the human traitor. Afterward, rewards will be granted based on the host's completion ratio.]

"A human traitor? Could there still be a human traitor in Xibai Pass?"

With only a moment of doubt, Kang Dalei immediately locked his gaze onto the old woman beside the White Elephant King.

If there were to be a traitor in Xibai Pass, it could only be the old woman, the Wrinkled Old Man, or that young master from a noble family.

Now the noble young master was outside the city, the Wrinkled Old Man had also gone outside the city, and now only the old woman remained in the city.

Thinking of this, just as Kang Dalei was about to speak, his heart suddenly jolted, and he immediately shouted loudly towards the outside of the city:

"Pants girl, be careful, this person is a demon race traitor!"

Before his voice had even faded, the Wrinkled Old Man flashed behind Bai Xuaner and, while she was completely defenseless, seized her with a hand strike.

"It truly took no effort at all. Miss Bai, I have been planning for a long time to obtain the power of your foundation."

The Wrinkled Old Man shouted, and his Divine Statue Manifestation was activated.

A vivid, gigantic phantom appeared behind him.

Great Sun Realm Divine Venerable, surrounded by demonic manifestations.

Everything happened too suddenly, and only then did the White Elephant King on the city wall react.

But by the time he reacted, Kang Dalei had already rushed out.

Since it concerned his mission rewards, Bai Xuaner absolutely could not be harmed.

With his Nine-Colored Sha fully unleashed and his Sha Kasaya fully activated, he threw a punch towards the Wrinkled Old Man.

But as he rushed up, the Wrinkled Old Man directly submerged into the mist with Bai Xuaner.

Kang Dalei's figure paused, and he had to stop before that terrifying mist that covered half the sky, sighing helplessly.

If he had the demon-slaying blade, he might have been able to use it to channel his Sha energy and carve out a path, but now that the demon-slaying blade was in Bai Xuaner's hands, what should he do?

Just as Kang Dalei was pondering what method to use to split the terrifying mist, the armored youth who had been fighting the demon beasts below suddenly flew to his side.

However, the other party still had that arrogant appearance, and there wasn't even a drop of blood on his spear.

Clearly, this kid was playing house down there.

But now Kang Dalei couldn't be bothered to argue with him; he just glanced at him coldly and summoned Qingyi and Chengyi, saying:

"Try your best to protect the commoners; after this is done, your master will reward you."

After saying this, Kang Dalei unleashed all the Sha energy around his body; if there was no other way, he would have to try to force his way in using his Sha energy.

But just as he was about to move, his figure was actually blocked by the armored youth's spear.

"Hey, you bumpkin, Xuaner is mine. With your lowly background, you aren't worthy of her. I advise you to give up obediently; perhaps I might spare your life."

Kang Dalei had no time to engage in verbal sparring with him now; with a wave of his hand, he slapped him flying and was about to rush into the mist, but just as he moved his body, the armored youth, as if seeking death, blocked him again.

"Kid, this young master is speaking nicely to you; you had better not refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Otherwise, when I become the son-in-law of the Bai family, that will be the day your entire family and friends meet their end."

"You are truly seeking death." Kang Dalei's tone suddenly changed.

But the armored youth seemed not to have restrained himself at all, and even expressed himself with extreme arrogance.

"My family is a titled noble clan. Do you know what a noble clan is?"

Before the armored youth could finish acting cool, Kang Dalei directly circulated the Northern Dark Divine Art and sucked him into a dried corpse.

"How noisy."

Kang Dalei's actions naturally caught the attention of the White Elephant King and the others, but since Kang Dalei was about to save Bai Xuaner, the White Elephant King just turned a blind eye.

Who let him be unable to easily leave Xibai Pass.

After absorbing the armored youth, Kang Dalei had no more obstacles and charged into the mist alone, after which there was no movement.

Inside the mist, it was a pitch-black expanse with sharp sounds, and the small mountains piled up with countless white bones made Kang Dalei's expression become extremely grave.

"This demon is likely a big one."

Summoning the demon suppressing pagoda and releasing the Spider Demon Queen, Kang Dalei gave a look, and the other party immediately understood. She puffed out her voluptuous figure and released hundreds of small spiders.

After a while, a sharp glint flashed in the Spider Demon Queen's eyes.

She immediately told Kang Dalei what she had seen. After hearing the situation provided by the Spider Demon Queen, Kang Dalei chased after them without the slightest hesitation.

In the mist, within a temporarily set up altar, Bai Xuaner was tied up tightly to an iron pillar. In front of her was the decrepit, seemingly dying Wrinkled Old Man.

"Miss Bai, do not blame this old man for being heartless. It is just that my lifespan is exhausted, and I do not have much time left. Coupled with being severely injured by that kid a few days ago, if I do not break through to the Titled Marquis realm, I fear I will truly have no chance. Rest assured, after I take all your true source energy, I will certainly give you a quick death."

"Devour all things, I am the supreme, blood sacrifice to the Heavenly Dao, grant me eternal life."

As the Wrinkled Old Man chanted the incantation, the entire altar began to rotate slowly, and the true energy on Bai Xuaner's body began to flow out of her body uncontrollably.

"Your technique for discerning objects, while seemingly useless, is actually the ultimate trump card for seeing through all illusions. In order to lure you out, I did not hesitate to collude with the demon race. Now, everything about you will be mine."

As the magic seal was cast, Bai Xuaner began to moan in pain. The agony of having the true source of her life force and energy stripped from her body caused her to nearly faint several times.

"You, you dare to treat me like this? My great-grandfather will not let you off."

Hearing Bai Xuaner still using the White Elephant King as a threat before death, the Wrinkled Old Man couldn't help but be carried away by his triumph and said:

"Rest assured, do you think such a large-scale mobilization was just to deal with you? Whether Xibai Pass can be defended today depends on how much the White Elephant King truly cherishes you."

"Twenty years ago, your parents died at the hands of the Great One. Now you are to follow in their footsteps, along with a large Titled King city; how unpredictable the world is!"

Accompanied by the casting of the absorption technique, which was the devouring technique, Bai Xuaner's screams immediately resounded throughout the entire Xibai Pass.

Hearing these painful moans, the White Elephant King on the city wall felt as if he were being cut by knives.

But for the sake of Xibai Pass and the commoners in the city, he absolutely could not make a move.

But just at this moment, the old woman beside him spoke.

"Your Highness, Miss Xuaner was raised by your own hand. The Miss's parents have already died at the hands of that Demon King. If the Miss meets with any misfortune now, how will you face the two deceased Divine Venerables? This old woman, though incompetent, is willing to use this broken body to go into the mist and rescue the Miss."
