140: Another father-in-law

Ice Blue Valley.

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator was injured and fled, causing the Bai Family Cultivators' Aura to greatly increase. Some bolder Cultivators rushed out of the grand formation, cooperating with the Black Crystal Bees to kill the Robber Cultivators.

Just now, the Robber Cultivator leader was repelled by a single sword strike and then immediately fled. This scene was noticed by countless Robber Cultivators.

With their leader having fled, the numerous Robber Cultivators immediately lost any desire to continue resisting, focusing only on escaping.

Once morale scattered, the Robber Cultivator team's formation immediately collapsed, completely devolving into a one-sided slaughter.

In just half an hour, except for a very few lucky Robber Cultivators who managed to escape, all the others were annihilated.

Inside the grand formation.

The Black Crystal Bees returned one after another, forming a black torrent that flew into Liu Xuan's sleeve, and then into his beast taming pouch.

The Bai Family Disciples looked at Liu Xuan with awe, no longer daring to show the slightest contempt.

Some people previously thought that Liu Xuan was just lucky, and that besides a bit of Talisman talent, his other statuses were obtained through flattery and relying on women.

Now it seemed they were completely wrong. How could a Core Disciple, valued by Ancestor Qingyun and Immortal Master Xiao, be an incompetent person? How could it simply be good luck?

Controlling such a powerful bee swarm, and possessing a talisman treasure capable of directly wounding a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Liu Xuan was equivalent to half a Foundation Establishment Great Master!

"Reporting to the Family Head, the battlefield has been tallied. A total of 831 black-clad Robber Cultivators were killed, and countless supplies were seized."

This Bai Family Disciple came before Bai Lingfeng to report, but his gaze kept drifting towards Liu Xuan at the side.

Everyone understood that the current battle results were all due to Liu Xuan's efforts.

"Talisman Master Liu, these are all your spoils of war. Do you want to personally tally them?"

Bai Lingfeng's tone was still as polite as before, but the difference was that a hint of respect had been added.

"No need. Just make a list and send everything to White Crane Lake."

In the current situation, the Bai Family would never dare to tamper with such matters, so he was too lazy to tally them one by one, which would make him seem petty.

Tallying the seized supplies and dealing with the corpses, the Bai Family members would probably be busy all night.

A special corpse was carried in. Bai Lingfeng took one look and immediately chuckled. It was none other than Zheng Mingyang, the Old Ancestor of the Zheng Family, who had escaped earlier.

Zheng Mingyang, at Qi Refining Perfection cultivation, should have had a chance to escape. However, he trusted that Foundation Establishment Cultivator too much and spent the entire time directing his team to resist the Black Crystal Bees. By the time he wanted to escape, it was already too late.

"Hahaha!"

"Old Man Zheng has been arrogant for most of his life, but I never expected him to die in my Bai Family today!"

As Qi Refining Perfection families from the Seventeen Families of Yongning, Bai Lingfeng and Zheng Mingyang had dealt with each other for decades.

Zheng Mingyang acted domineeringly, and they had many conflicts. Most of the time, Bai Lingfeng was the one who suffered losses and had to back down.

Today, Zheng Mingyang died in the Bai Family, which could be considered as settling old grudges... Half an hour after the great battle ended.

Xiao Ran arrived with a thousand members of the Law Enforcement Team. Seeing the Bai Family Disciples cleaning up the battlefield and moving corpses in the valley, she was a bit confused.

When she received news of a large group of Robber Cultivators attacking the Bai Family, she was actually a bit hesitant about whether to provide support.

After being ambushed and tricked last time, she became even more cautious, deeply fearing that this news was also a ploy by the Robber Cultivators.

It wasn't that she was timid, but this possibility was very high. The second-tier cloud-breaking flying ship requisitioned by the Sect had not yet arrived, and now was the weakest time for the Law Enforcement Team to go out.

If the Robber Cultivators wanted to truly inflict heavy losses on the Law Enforcement Team, now was the best opportunity. Once the cloud-breaking flying boat arrived, the Robber Cultivators would not be able to defeat her head-on.

If it weren't for Liu Xuan's people telling her that Liu Xuan had already arrived at Ice Blue Valley, she would rather see the Bai Family annihilated than easily dispatch the Law Enforcement Team.

On the way, Xiao Ran had envisioned many possible battle situations in Ice Blue Valley. The best-case scenario was that the Bai Family could barely resist, holding on until she arrived with reinforcements.

But now... did the Bai Family win?

Did the Robber Cultivators realize they had no chance and retreated early?

Then all these corpses are... "This humble one, Bai Zixuan of the Bai Family, greets Senior Sister!"

Upon seeing the Sect Law Enforcement Team appear, Bai Zixuan, who was in charge of cleaning up the battlefield, stepped forward to pay his respects.

In the territory of the Red Pine Sect, all Cultivators were nominally subordinates of the Sect. Bai Zixuan could also address Xiao Ran as Senior Sister, just like a Sect Disciple.

"What's the situation?"

"Whose corpses are these?"

Xiao Ran asked, pointing at the black-clad corpses they were moving.

"These are the Robber Cultivators who attacked my Bai Family tonight."

Without Xiao Ran needing to ask further, Bai Zixuan recounted everything that had just happened to Xiao Ran in detail.

Xiao Ran's expression remained normal after listening, but her heart was not calm.

She did know some of Liu Xuan's true strength and that Liu Xuan possessed a talisman treasure, but relying solely on these, it would be difficult for Liu Xuan to achieve this level.

'Are those little bees really that strong?'

Xiao Ran had known about Black Crystal Bees for a long time; she had even bought some from Liu Xuan to taste back then.

There were no records of Black Crystal Bees in the Sect, so their specific habits were unknown. However, these spirit bees were incredibly docile, and aside from collecting honey, they had never been recorded to harm anyone. How could they have killed hundreds of Robber Cultivators?

"Take me to see Liu Xuan!"

Xiao Ran ordered Bai Zixuan.

Since she couldn't figure it out, she would go and ask Liu Xuan herself.

"Yes!"

Bai Zixuan led the way, guiding Xiao Ran and the others towards the main hall where Liu Xuan was located... Bai Family Main Hall.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Dense Black Crystal Bees flew out from Liu Xuan's sleeve again. Liu Xuan explained to Xiao Ran, who was beside him:

"Not long ago, the Black Crystal Bee Queen unexpectedly broke through to Qi Refining Perfection. With a larger swarm, their combat power increased just a little bit."

A Qi Refining Perfection worker bee, disguised as a queen, landed on Liu Xuan's hand, while dozens of Qi Refining Late Stage worker bees surrounded him.

These Black Crystal Bees completely shed their previous docile appearance, exuding a violent Aura, as if they wanted to tear everything apart.

Several Bai Family Disciples beside them were startled, retreating a few steps with pale faces.

"Don't be afraid, they're very well-behaved."

Liu Xuan smiled and comforted them, snapping his fingers at the bee swarm. All the Black Crystal Bees retracted their Aura, returning to their docile appearance.

"Alright! Put them away."

Xiao Ran looked at Liu Xuan with complex eyes. Liu Xuan always gave her unexpected surprises.

A Qi Refining Mid-stage Cultivator controlling Qi Refining Perfection spirit bees, what kind of beast taming talent was this?!

She had the same question as Zhang Kexin back then, 'What is Liu Xuan not talented at?'

How could one person be so versatile?!

After putting away the Black Crystal Bees, Liu Xuan said to Xiao Ran, "Thank you, Senior Sister, for coming to help. Since the matter is concluded, why don't we return together?"

"Hmm!"

Xiao Ran nodded, ordering the Law Enforcement Team to prepare for their return.

"Senior Sister, please wait. This Junior Brother still has a small personal matter to attend to."

Before Xiao Ran could ask, Liu Xuan had already disappeared from the main hall. A moment later, he returned, leading a fair-skinned girl.

Xiao Ran was speechless!

This boy really thought about taking women at all times!

'Junior Sister Kexin was right, this guy is simply insane and beyond saving!'

"Farewell, Family Head Bai!"

"Farewell, my two fathers-in-law!"

Before leaving, Liu Xuan bowed to Bai Lingfeng, Bai Zixuan, and Bai Zijing.

Bai Zijing was Bai Ling'er's father and Bai Zixuan's elder brother.

Yes! After one trip out, Liu Xuan gained another father-in-law!
