Chapter 96: The Shock of Song Ziwen
“W-What? They’re all dead just like that!”
Wei Laifu stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the scene before him.
Dozens of experts lay perfectly still on the ground?
Among them were even some peak innate experts!
Huang Longfei and Sun Zichu had both reached the level of half-step grandmaster!
In Shu Du, they were quite renowned!
The two working together was comparable to a grandmaster.
With the addition of dozens of peak innate experts, this force could easily surround three or four martial arts masters!
But now, they had been effortlessly wiped out by Bai Chen!
At this moment, Wei Laifu’s legs trembled.
Just how strong was Bai Chen?
Could he be a great grandmaster, beyond a master?
Bai Chen lightly glanced at everyone present.
He had only targeted those who showed killing intent towards him, not killing innocents indiscriminately.
The people still standing included Song Hanjing, Wei Laifu, and the two sisters.
Liu Jiaoxue and Jiang Yuan Ji were hiding at a distance, secretly watching.
Meanwhile, Qi Wan and Qi Ying were so frightened that they couldn’t speak.
Originally, they had laughed at Bai Chen in their hearts, thinking he was overestimating himself by leaving the group.
But now it seemed that Bai Chen was not overestimating himself at all.
He had absolute confidence in his own strength!
Looking at the dozens of corpses on the ground, the two instinctively lowered their heads, trembling all over, not daring to look Bai Chen in the eye.
Bai Chen walked up to Song Hanjing, who tensed up as if facing a formidable enemy.
The chubby Wei Laifu wore a bitter expression.
“B-Brother Bai! We had no intention of attacking you!”
Bai Chen gently shook his head.
“I know that for sure, or you’d already be like them.”
Bai Chen took the yellow map from Song Hanjing’s hand.
After seeing the small writing on it, he paused slightly before shaking his head with a smile.
This map was the same one he had given to Song Ziwen, advising him to try his luck every year after he fell asleep.
Now, it seemed he had accidentally ended up in Song Hanjing’s group.
At this moment, it seemed like fate.
Returning the map to Song Hanjing, Bai Chen lightly asked,
“How is Song Ziwen doing now?”
He recalled waking up thirty years ago and taking his first disciple, the then-teenager Song Ziwen.
Thirty years had passed in the blink of an eye, and after he fell asleep again, it had been five or six years since he last saw him.
Song Hanjing’s pupils contracted.
Bai Chen dared to call out Song Ziwen’s name directly; he wanted to explode in anger but held back when he thought of Bai Chen’s power.
“The Family Head is doing well.”
Bai Chen nodded slightly.
“I will take my things now; you don’t need to come back in the future.”
With that, Bai Chen walked away without looking back.
Liu Jiaoxue quickly followed him.
“Boss Bai! You really are something else!”
“So many people, and you just took them out in an instant! What kind of strength do you have?”
“But is it really okay to act this way? What if the forces behind them take notice of you…?”
Liu Jiaoxue showed no fear of Bai Chen and approached him with a subtle probing tone.
Seeing the bold and meticulous Liu Jiaoxue, Bai Chen replied lightly,
“To put it in your words, I have already broken through the martial arts realm.”
“Broken through the martial arts realm?”
Liu Jiaoxue was somewhat stunned.
In her view, the martial arts realm was incredibly long.
From the acquired state to the innate state, then to the master, and after the master, there was the great grandmaster.
Many people spend their entire lives without ever breaking through to the innate state.
But Bai Chen looked so young and claimed he had already broken through?
Was that even possible?
Bai Chen continued,
“What’s wrong with taking action against them? I need to get back in time to reunite with my daughter. If they keep bothering me, I will definitely miss my flight back to Lintai.”
“I can’t have Nian Nian crying again; it’s already considerate of me to leave them with whole corpses.”
“As for the forces behind them, if they really dare to come, let’s see; at that point, I won’t be in a hurry. I have plenty of ways to deal with them, and if I get bored, it will just be a matter of slapping them down.”
Liu Jiaoxue was shocked by his words, feeling even more in awe of Bai Chen.
Bai Chen seemed more and more mysterious to her.
Sometimes, the more mysterious someone was, the greater the intimidation they imposed.
“Everyone says that the Liu family is the leader in the martial arts world of Lintai, but today, Mr. Bai, you have truly opened my eyes!”
Liu Jiaoxue kept praising Bai Chen, then shifted to more serious matters.
“Mr. Bai, you must have gained a lot from this trip.”
“I wonder if you obtained the legendary divine medicine?”
As soon as Liu Jiaoxue finished speaking, Jiang Yuan Ji and the others beside her held their breath.
They already felt great pressure being with Bai Chen, and Liu Jiaoxue’s question made them even tenser.
Bai Chen gave Liu Jiaoxue a calm glance.
“Of course, I got it. Is there something you want?”
Liu Jiaoxue lightly bit her lip, a hint of worry showing on her brow.
“I want to make an offer to buy this divine medicine. Mr. Bai, whatever price you name, we can meet it!”
“Fuyuan Chamber of Commerce is yours; my Liu family’s chamber of commerce can also provide for you!”
“If that’s not enough, the Liu family has other industries as well!”
“As long as you’re willing to sell, just name your price, and my Liu family will definitely meet it!”
Hearing Liu Jiaoxue’s words, Bai Chen replied lightly,
“I won’t sell.”
With that, Bai Chen suddenly increased his speed.
The sun was close to setting; if he didn’t hurry, he would really miss the flight back to Lintai.
Watching Bai Chen’s retreating figure, Liu Jiaoxue clenched her teeth.
“No! I absolutely cannot give up!”
……
When Song Hanjing returned to the Song family, he immediately told Song Ziwen everything that had happened in the Shennong Great Forest.
Upon hearing the full story, Song Ziwen’s pupils shrank sharply.
“Did you get a good look at that young man? What was his method of attack?”
Seeing the usually calm and wise Family Head act so unnerved, Song Hanjing was a bit taken aback.
“Uncle, that young man gave me a very strange feeling; he seemed so calm, as if he had everything figured out.”
“As for his appearance… using today’s popular phrases, he was incredibly handsome!”
“Moreover, his method of attack was very hard to grasp; it didn’t seem like the means of a martial artist.”
“It was more like… the abilities of an immortal!”
“He just reached out into the air, and everyone died!”
“That sort of move is simply unheard of!”
After hearing Song Hanjing’s words, Song Ziwen slumped down in his seat, then burst into loud laughter.
Seeing this, Song Hanjing was momentarily stunned but continued,
“Uncle, that person also asked about how you are doing now!”
Hearing this, Song Ziwen froze, his expression stiffening as if lost in thought.
After a moment, tears glistened in the corners of his eyes.
“I understand. You can leave now.”
Song Hanjing took a sneaky glance at Song Ziwen, his heart stirring with turbulent emotions.
The Family Head was actually crying?
What in the world was going on?
Once Song Hanjing left, Song Ziwen could no longer contain his emotions.
This man, now over fifty, broke down and wept aloud.
“Master! It’s so rare for you to remember me. I must see you this time!”
