C763 Meeting with the Brothers
There was even a middle-aged man who was at the middle stage of the comprehension of the Dao. He quickly stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Bai Qichen, "Patriarch, everything has been handled properly, the entire mansion has been under control. It's a pity that that that peerless spiritual pond was destroyed in advance and we didn't obtain any evidence!"
Hearing that, Bai Qichen waved her hands: "It's alright, I have my own ways. I will throw all the members of the twelve branch families into the Sky Number Prison, the rest are all restricted to these twelve residences, without permission, you are not allowed to take even half a step outside!"
"Yes sir!" After the middle-aged man received the order, he immediately left, and it was at this time that Lei Yang realised that Bai Qichen had long since come out from closed door cultivation, and probably noticed the abnormality of the Bai Family's Twelve Palaces, which was why he brought the main house over.
The reason he appeared at the place where he was fighting with Bai Zhanxiong, was probably because he was chasing after the Qi from that place.
However, at this time, Lei Yang's heart was beating wildly after hearing the report from the middle stage of the Enlightenment Lake's member. Previously, that guy said that the spirit pond had been destroyed, he reckoned that the spirit pond was most likely a place to refine the living spirit root.
"And if the spirit pond is destroyed, then judging from this, wouldn't Big Brother Xie Jun be in danger?!" Thinking of this, a trace of anxiety started to surge in Lei Yang's heart.
Logically speaking, among the twelve branch families of the Bai Family that Bai Zhanxiong belonged to, there should be a lot of Lively Spirit Roots. However, Bai Qichen actually wanted Feng Jiuwu to personally verify this matter, which allowed him to vaguely deduce a few things.
It was very obvious that when Bai Qichen came out of seclusion and rushed over, the Bai Family's Great Elder, Bai Can Ren, had already begun to destroy the evidence ahead of time. Lei Yang felt that the more she thought about it, the more terrified she became.
Thinking about it, he immediately decided to look for Feng Jiuwu to verify some things, and could not delay this matter any further, so he had to immediately resolve it.
He was just about to look for Feng Jiuwu for confirmation, but before he could even speak, another young man, who was at the great circle of the Nascent Soul, hurriedly ran over to Bai Qichen's side of the Inner Palace and reported respectfully, "Patriarch, when we were searching in the rear courtyard earlier, we discovered a few weak outsiders in the gap between the underground layer of a secret room.
Hearing that, a pair of pitch black pupils appeared in Bai Qichen's eyes, and she decisively said: "Quickly go, lead the way!"
Before long, when Lei Yang and the rest reached the backyard, the man had already brought out a few people with different surnames out of the secret room and into a courtyard.
Looking at it, Lei Yang saw that there were three of them, all of them were male cultivators the same color, and they were around the same age as Lei Yang.
All of their faces were pale white, their skin was yellow and skinny, it was as if they had not been exposed to the sun for a long time, they looked pale and terrifying. Although their cultivation were still at the early stage of the Nascent Soul, they looked like they had been sick for a long time, they looked weak.
Among the three, the other two faces looked unfamiliar. When Lei Yang saw one of the familiar figures, his eyes couldn't help but sparkle, and at that moment, his heart felt as if it was violently wrenched against him, and he felt a deep stabbing pain.
It was a somewhat familiar but also unfamiliar face, and it was difficult for it to overlap with the face in his memories in a short period of time. But even so, he was still able to recognize him at first glance, and it was his Big Brother ? ? Xie Jun!
At this time, Feng Jiuwu also saw Xie Jun, and immediately looked towards Lei Yang, pointing a finger, but before she could even speak, Lei Yang had already rushed forward.
At this moment, Lei Yang simply could not control his emotions. It was just like when he first saw Feng Jiuwu, where his heart ached and his emotions were complicated.
Lei Yang grabbed Xie Jun's shoulders with both hands and shouted with a trembling voice, "Big Brother, is that you? Big Brother, I'm Lei Yang, I'm the second brother. How did you become like this?"
Xie Jun was now extremely weak, it was difficult for him to even stand, even his mind was not clear of the situation. He looked at Lei Yang with a numb face, and only after a while, did he manage to react.
After that, he hugged Lei Yang, held it in for a long while, and finally choked out a sentence: "Second Brother". After this sentence was said, he crawled onto Lei Yang's shoulder and cried loudly, as if he was crying.
That cry contained endless hatred, pain, and excitement as if he was meeting his family. It was as if he wanted to vent all of the grievances and torture he had gone through over the years.
A distinguished seven feet hot-blooded man was actually so disregarding his own image in front of this large crowd. He cried so loudly and his cries were incomparably mournful. One could imagine how much he had suffered all these years.
And at this time, under this kind of scene, the entire space became deathly still in an instant. Only Xie Jun's childish wails pierced through this silence, causing everyone to feel waves of heart-wrenching pain.
Even Bai Qichen was no exception. As the proverb goes, a man should have tears and not sigh lightly, but at the moment, this child did not care about face, so it was easy to imagine the pain in his heart.
He raised his head, looked at Lei Yang, and said: "Second brother, you have finally come. I knew that no matter where we are, you would come and rescue me, my good brother!"
"Big Brother, you're right!" Lei Yang also fiercely nodded.
But right after, Xie Jun sighed and said: "It's a pity, Big Brother has lost face for you. Thinking about my current state, how could I possibly have the face to see you again!"
"Big Brother, don't say that. The cultivation world is a world of deceit. It is a world of endless danger, who can guarantee that they won't make a mistake?
As long as you are still alive, and as long as you are still alive, there is still hope for everything. This not going is just one of the unremarkable twists and turns in your path ahead, so you don't need to sigh or worry, because your path ahead is very long, "Lei Yang comforted Xie Jun as he patted his shoulder.
"Hmph, so what if I live on my current body? I'm still a cripple, so I can only wait for my death. I can no longer see any hope, only despair!" Xie Jun said somewhat pessimistically, his entire person feeling extremely downcast.0
At the same time, Bai Qichen and Feng Jiuwu also walked over. Bai Qichen chimed in: "This little brother, Elder Lei is right, as the saying goes, leaving behind a mountain without firewood is better than being able to live!"
After Xie Jun heard this, the moment he saw that the other party was a stranger, his eyes revealed an expression of habitual fear, and he subconsciously held Lei Yang's hands even tighter.
Seeing that, Lei Yang quickly introduced him: "Big Brother is relieved, this is City Lord Bai Qichen, he has already been cut into a dolphin by me, and all the people in the Bai Family's Twelve Palaces are under the control of the City Lord, so don't worry, you are safe now!"
And at this time, Bai Qichen even personally bowed and paid her respects to Xie Jun: "This little brother, I express my deepest apologies for the crimes committed by my Bai Family clansmen, and I guarantee in the name of the city master that I will definitely help little brother resolve all the hidden injuries he has suffered, and allow you to completely recover to your former Dao Body state and even cultivation level!"
Xie Jun's eyes were dull in the beginning, as though there was no motivation for him to continue living, but when he heard Bai Qichen's words, his eyes instantly opened wide, and released a strong burst of light.
Not to mention Xie Jun, even the two cultivators who were injured by Bai Qichen's words, became spirited in an instant.
Xie Jun grabbed Bai Qichen's hand and asked: "Are you speaking the truth?"
"Of course, if little brother still does not believe, then I can swear a Dao oath!"
After Bai Qichen finished speaking, she was about to raise her palm and make an oath, but was stopped by Lei Yang, saying: "City Lord Bai, your words are too serious, I naturally trust your character, there is no need to make an oath because of this!"
At this time, Feng Jiuwu also nodded at Xie Jun and said, "What City Master Bai said is true!"
After Xie Jun heard this, he immediately knelt down like Feng Jiuwu, cupped his fists and bowed, as he expressed his gratitude towards Bai Qichen.
At the end of the day, if everything could go back to how it used to be, that would be his hope for the future. But could he really go back to how he used to be?
And after Bai Qichen helped Xie Jun up, she also invited Xie Jun and the other two to the clan gathering tomorrow to testify, and after instructing the main house to arrange a place for Lei Yang and the rest to stay, she quickly left to busy herself with her own matters.
