456: Chapter 455 Elf, Demon

Inside the City Lord's Mansion in Baixian City.

In a quiet courtyard.

The place was filled with Spiritual Qi. A young man held a graceful woman in his arms, his fingers teasing as his gaze fell playfully on a cage in the courtyard.

A peerless woman was imprisoned in the cage.

She was strange.

She had a pair of pointed elf ears, and her eyes were as clear as the deep sea under a blue sky, full of innocence.

Facing King Bai Luo, she was currently shrouded in endless terror, curled in the corner of the cage and trembling.

"Truly ungrateful."

King Bai Luo's lips curled into a cold arc, his tone icy.

"Following this Young Master offers endless immortal opportunities, yet you choose to oppose me. Now you end up like this, imprisoned like a bitch. Why bother?"

As he spoke, his arm tightened suddenly. The woman in his arms turned pale, hurriedly pleading in a trembling voice: "Young... Young Master, please calm your anger. It is she who is foolish and ungrateful."

"Being favored by the Young Master is a blessing Xin'er has cultivated for three lifetimes. Xin'er will definitely serve the Young Master well and will never dare to disobey in the slightest!"

At this moment, a figure broke the silence of the courtyard, walked over quickly, and bowed.

"Young Master, the target is gone."

King Bai Luo's brows knitted together, a layer of frost covering his brow, his tone filled with undisguised displeasure.

"What do you mean by that? Did the mission fail?"

Ye Qu could only nod bitterly, feeling helpless.

"It failed?"

King Bai Luo chuckled suddenly, the laughter making one's heart crawl.

"Ye Qu, you have great skills indeed!"

"As a Half-Step Immortal King, attacking to capture a mere Saint Venerable, and you get such a result!"

"What else can you accomplish!"

As the angry shout fell, he waved his hand, and a stone sculpture a zhang high flew out, smashing directly into Ye Qu's face.

Ye Qu remained motionless, letting the sculpture strike, immortal light flickering faintly around his body.

"Boom!"

The sculpture shattered instantly into stone dust.

He remained bowing, hands clasped, and replied in a deep voice: "Young Master, please calm your anger... This matter is too strange!"

"I had already activated the Immortal Dao killing move, completely sealing the heaven and earth, enough to annihilate that fellow's Primordial Spirit."

"But the moment the immortal light of the dark night covered him, he simply disappeared!"

"Without the slightest sign, without a trace of spatial fluctuation, he just vanished into thin air."

"Among the thousands of living beings at the Sky Fighting Arena, not one noticed anything amiss. It is truly unfathomable!"

These words caused the anger in King Bai Luo's eyes to subside slightly, replaced by intense interest.

He asked in a deep voice: "You didn't sense any teleportation array fluctuations?"

Ye Qu shook his head.

This made King Bai Luo even more interested.

"I didn't see any!"

"The surrounding space had no teleportation array patterns!"

"And he didn't even leave traces of crossing the Void Realm!"

Ye Qu added.

He had checked the Void Realm immediately, but found nothing.

"So, what do you think the situation is?"

King Bai Luo asked.

"This Young Master only believes what he sees with his own eyes. Don't talk about those irrelevant things."

He added, his large hand covering the soft parts of the woman in his arms, kneading them fiercely.

The woman felt pain but dared not say anything.

"It should be a Divine Ability... possibly a powerful Divine Ability of the True Demon Clan!"

"Or it could be a terrifying Cultivation Technique."

"Of course, there is another, worse possibility."

Ye Qu said, pausing.

"Speak!"

King Bai Luo barked coldly.

"It is... that an expert much, much stronger than me intervened... and saved him!"

"Although it is unlikely... I fear the 'what if'."

Even Ye Qu felt this sounded absurd.

But it wasn't impossible.

"Impossible!"

King Bai Luo retorted directly.

"You are a Half-Step Immortal King... Ye Qu, you are a Half-Step Immortal King yourself!"

"Don't you find it ridiculous?"

"An expert intervening and taking that fellow away without you even noticing? Do you think that's possible?"

King Bai Luo was getting angry.

These words didn't just mean Qin Wushang wasn't simple; they were a reminder... not to go against Qin Wushang.

He certainly couldn't accept that.

As the son of Immortal King Bai, his status was so noble that there was no one in the entire Immortal Domain he couldn't afford to offend.

"But... Young Master, what if?"

"The path beyond the Immortal King... Immortal King Bai once said, it is the Quasi-Immortal Emperor."

"This is a Realm explored by the Immortal Lord."

"Although there has been no public announcement in the Immortal Domain of any living being reaching this Realm, does that mean there are none?"

Ye Qu whispered.

Someone who had lived as long as him had to think twice about anything that could be detrimental to himself.

This time, he was a bit scared.

"Then why didn't the other party kill you directly, but instead saved the person?"

King Bai Luo countered.

"I don't know!"

"Anyway... Young Master, I think this so-called Prodigy of the True Demon Clan is not to be trifled with."

"Caution is paramount."

Ye Qu shook his head, warning him.

"He didn't die... then did Ye Weiliang die?"

King Bai Luo asked again.

This was also part of his goal.

"This Young Master promised the God Son of the Ye Family to help him get rid of this Goddess and help him become the heir of the Ye Family."

"Don't tell me you failed again?"

If he failed both, he would be completely disappointed in this guy Ye Qu.

"No, it was done flawlessly."

"That fellow killed Ye Weiliang with a single punch; I didn't even need to find an excuse."

Once these words were out, King Bai Luo was greatly shocked.

"A single punch?"

"Show me the recording stone!"

Afterward, a recording stone flew out. Looking at the scene inside, he was completely stunned.

...

Eve of the Baixian Tower Prodigy grand competition.

Tomorrow is the Prodigy grand competition. Baixian Tower is bustling with people and extremely noisy.

Qin Wushang stared at the rental price list for the private rooms in front of him, feeling slightly surprised.

Very cheap!

One hundred immortal crystals for a month!

The price was unexpectedly low.

Of course, it might be because he had an outrageous amount of immortal crystals now!

"Hey! Poor kid, have you seen enough!"

A harsh scolding suddenly slammed over.

Qin Wushang turned around and saw a fat man with a big belly squinting at him.

The fat man was with several lackeys, looking very impatient, the contempt in his eyes undisguised.

"Blocking the way is an eyesore. If you can't afford to rent, get lost quickly. Don't waste this Young Master's time here!"

The fat man stood with hands on hips, looking arrogant, spit almost flying out.

"Look at your shabby appearance, I bet you can't even take out one immortal crystal. Do you deserve to come to Baixian Tower to freeload?"

"Get lost!"

"Don't waste this Young Master's time here!"

"What? Still standing there? Not happy about me saying a few words? Poor is poor, don't embarrass yourself here!"

The lackeys beside him, seeing this, hurriedly leaned into his ear and whispered a few words.

In the next second, the fat man's arrogant expression instantly stiffened, and his face changed instantly.

"What... he... he is the Devil Head who killed Ye Weiliang and Bai Jutang?"

The fat man exclaimed, unable to believe it.
