"Murder!"

Ying Wuji's voice was cold and fierce, with no hint of concealing the intent to kill.

The atmosphere in the room instantly quieted down, and the young people of the Bai family subconsciously shrank their necks. Although Ying Wuji had always been firm in his words, most of the time he had a kind and gentle demeanor. When speaking to the elders, he was neither humble nor overbearing, and when speaking to the younger generation, he always had a smile.

This was the first time they had seen Ying Wuji react in such a way.

Bai Nong's face also stiffened, because he could clearly feel that Ying Wuji had not initially intended to kill anyone. All the anger had started when he mentioned the disaster in the Kingdom of Chu.

And almost ninety percent of his killing intent was directed at himself.

"Wuji, who do you want to kill?"

"Kill those who are blind to the Bai family's interests!"

Ying Wuji's eyes were cold, and he walked inside with big strides, leaving behind only a sentence: "Everyone, meet in the council hall later!"

Mi Xingli looked worried.

She quickly followed.

Bai Nong's face was slightly dark, but there was no panic in his expression. Instead, there was a burning flame of battle.

The young people on the side were trembling as they spoke, "Elder, you voluntarily confessed about the disaster, isn't this deliberately provoking the anger of the family head?"

"Anger?"

Bai Nong retorted, "After our Bai family has drifted in the foreign land for a thousand years, and finally decided to submit to others, gathering nearly a thousand people together just to avoid anger? Then what's the point of being part of the Bai family? It's better to go and be dead, the dead won't get angry!"

"This..."

The young man looked embarrassed. His name was Bai Ni, and he was just an insignificant figure in the Bai family.

But in reality, he was the channel for many important matters, communicating with the two elders.

Including the matter of the disaster in the Kingdom of Chu this time.

He was a channel controlled only by the two elders, and the family head knew nothing about it.

If the matter of the disaster in the Kingdom of Chu caused a falling out between Ying Wuji and Bai Nong, Ying Wuji would definitely be safe.

Bai Nong might also be safe.

So who would be in trouble?

Bai Ni was a little flustered, "Elder! What I mean is, even if we have to confront the family head, isn't it too early to do it now?"

"Early?"

Bai Nong sneered, "What's too early! Now the family head just wants to obediently serve as the son-in-law of the King of Li. Does he still have any ambition for the Bai family in his heart? Do you know where our previous five hundred disciples are now?"

Bai Ni: "I... don't know!"

Bai Nong's gaze was icy, "You'll know later!"

With that, he left directly, swinging his sleeves.

Bai Ni remained silent for a long time behind him, trembling with fear. After forcing himself to calm down for a long time, his cold hands and feet finally regained some warmth.

Taking a deep breath, he followed slowly.

Council hall.

Ying Wuji sat at the main seat, his gaze dark, and he remained silent for a long time.

Mi Xingli sat in the main guest seat, glancing at him from time to time, wanting to speak but hesitating.

During this time, although she was not very clear about the internal situation of the King of Li's palace, she could see that Hua Chao cooked medicine for Ying Wuji every day.

It seemed to be a special prescription for pregnancy.

And looking at the slight impatience in Ying Wuji's eyes every day, even if she didn't know anything, she could guess something.

...

He was very eager to have a child.

Very eager!

So Zhao Ji's lifespan...

Not to mention the lifespan, Ying Wuji would stay at the son-in-law's mansion for a few days every month, and spend the rest of the time outside. So where did he spend the night?

Zhao Ning's stomach had not shown any reaction for a long time, which made everyone anxious.

This was definitely a catastrophic event.

But from her observation, there was nothing wrong with Ying Wuji and Zhao Ning's bodies, and they were even far superior to ordinary people.

This was a problem.

She had been curious before, why a prayer for the fetus would bring disaster to Ying Wuji's family.

Now it seemed...

It was really ruthless!

The matter of the disaster in the Kingdom of Chu had been suppressed tightly. Apart from the high-level officials of the Kingdom of Chu and the demon's lair, as well as the forces behind the scenes that had facilitated the demon's lair, almost no one could possibly know about it.

But it seemed that the two elders of the Bai family knew, and Ying Wuji did not.

This was a serious problem.

Even the prayer for the fetus might be related to the Bai family.

Wasn't this pushing people into the fire pit?

Hiss!

What kind of situation was Ying Wuji facing?

Mi Xingli was a little panicked, afraid that when everyone arrived, they would directly take action, and then the problem of the Kingdom of Chu...

She said softly, "Brother Wu, what about the matter of the Kingdom of Chu..."

"Don't worry!"

Ying Wuji waved his hand, "No matter what, the disaster in the Kingdom of Chu is the top priority, and I won't abandon you."

Mi Xingli was stunned for a moment, looking at his gradually calm profile, and felt much more at ease in her heart.

She pursed her lips and smiled slightly, "Thank you!"

The people of the Bai family arrived one after another.

The entire council hall was quickly filled.

The council hall, which could accommodate thousands of people, was almost full, but it was quiet as a pin drop. Everyone's faces were somewhat solemn, because when the Bai family held meetings in the past, it was mostly attended by the high-level officials. It seemed that this kind of gathering for the whole family to attend was only at last year's welcoming banquet in Jiangcheng.

After half a year.

This was...

Definitely a major event concerning the development of the entire family.

Bai Nong and Bai Ling, the two elders of the Bai family, sat on both sides of Ying Wuji.Bai Yi sat opposite Mi Xingli, her sleeves still rolled up and her clothes stained with dirt, clearly just returning from working in the fields.

Not only her, but all the people from the Bai family present were the same.

Although they had already enjoyed the treatment of nobility in the Kingdom of Li, the people of the Bai family were not pampered.

She looked at Ying Wuji with a worried expression. "Wuji, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing major!"

Ying Wuji put on a smile to reassure her, then glanced at everyone.

He then reached out his hand and drew in the air.

In the blink of an eye, a formation was created, enveloping the entire council hall.

Threads of light appeared out of thin air, merging into the hearts of everyone present.

This was a formation created by the Bai family, originally starting as a vow and prayer, gradually developing into a sophisticated formation.

It was mainly used for information confidentiality. Anyone within the formation could not disclose anything inside to anyone outside the formation.

Since actively breaking the barrier between the Celestials and humans, the Bai family had been playing a rebellious role, not tolerating any large groups.

...

Then wandering in the foreign domain.

And then settling in the Kingdom of Qian.

Too much content could not be known to outsiders.

So this formation had been maintained until now, only to be used in extremely important matters.

However, setting up this formation was quite troublesome.

It usually required the cooperation of the higher-ups to set it up for a full day and night.

Ying Wuji drawing it directly with his hands, wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?

Everyone looked at each other. They had long known that Ying Wuji's spiritual embryo had surpassed the first rank, and his talent was enough to surpass the entire younger generation of the Bai family. Even in the prime of the Celestials, he was definitely a top existence.

But no matter how high the rank of the spiritual embryo, it was only the Embryonic Transformation Realm.

Drawing a formation by hand...

Terrifying!

Not only was his cultivation terrifying, his mastery of formations had also reached an extremely terrifying level.

Even Bai Nong and Bai Ling, the two elders, were wide-eyed.

Just this simple move was something the two of them could never hope to achieve in their lifetimes.

This wasn't to say that Ying Wuji's strength had surpassed the two, but in some aspects of comprehension, and even the overall talent and potential, he had already surpassed the two.

In other words.

Potential!

As long as Ying Wuji did not die prematurely and continued to cultivate step by step, he would definitely become one of the top experts of the human race, and might even be stronger than the strongest experts of the Celestials in their prime.

This kind of potential was enough to make everyone feel intimidated.

Zhuan Xu's imperial body plus the bloodline of the Celestials.

He was truly the culmination of the two eras' destinies.

Whether in the past or the present, it was probably difficult for any genius to dare to confront him directly.

Ying Wuji had been relatively restrained before, never showing off his strength.

But today, he had no intention of holding back his edge at all.

Bai Nong's heart also sank slowly. Ying Wuji's reaction was even greater than he had imagined, and his strength far exceeded his expectations.

Even the two elders felt the pressure.

Ying Wuji glanced at everyone and asked with a faint smile, "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here!"

The young man who went out to call people first replied.

The second elder, Bai Ling, was a little puzzled. "Wuji! Why did you suddenly summon everyone today? What's the matter?"

Ying Wuji smiled faintly. "Gathering everyone here naturally means there is an important matter. But to say it is a major matter, it temporarily does not affect our Bai family. However, to say it is a minor matter, it concerns the mission of our Bai clan for thousands of years."

As he spoke.

He leaned forward slightly, his eyes burning as he looked at everyone present, and slowly said, "The demonic troubles in the Kingdom of Chu, with over a hundred great demons on the loose. What do you all think?"

Over a hundred great demons!

The people present immediately let out a series of exclamations.

Most of them did not know what had happened in the Kingdom of Chu before.

Even those who knew were aware that there had been no trace of great demon activity before.

This time...

Great demons had begun to appear, and there were over a hundred of them.

The scale of this demon's nest, even in the foreign domain, would qualify as a large clan.

During the peak of the Bai family, they could still suppress such a group, but later on, even if they could win, they would have to go around.

...

As the people whispered to each other.

Ying Wuji had been observing everyone's expressions all along, but he found that Bai Ling did not seem particularly surprised. His heart sank, thinking that only Bai Nong knew, but he didn't expect Bai Ling, as a member of the Omen Sect, to also be aware of the situation here.

And these two people, neither of them had informed him.

He asked in a deep voice, "Second Elder, what do you think of this matter?"

Bai Ling pondered for a moment, and said seriously, "The chaos of the demon race is of great importance. Our Bai clan bears the destiny of the human race and must do our best to help the Kingdom of Chu eliminate the demons. It's just that..."

He paused.

Shaking his head with a sigh, "It's just that our Bai clan has less than a thousand people left, and we are not yet firmly established in the Kingdom of Li. We still need to recuperate, and I'm afraid it will be difficult to go to the Kingdom of Chu in person."

Mi Xingli's brow furrowed, about to speak.Bai Ling took out a thick book from his arms and pushed it directly in front of Mi Xingli: "But Miss, although we cannot come in person, we cannot bear to see the Kingdom Chu in turmoil due to the demon disaster.

This is the experience of our Bai family standing in the ancient times, and dealing with the demon race in the foreign domain for thousands of years.

With Miss's understanding, it is certain that you can easily comprehend it. With its help, the assistance to the Kingdom Chu is no less than thirty thousand elites."

"Hmm?"

Mi Xingli was somewhat surprised, and quickly took the book, and after a simple glance, she confirmed the immense value of this book.

The demon race is indeed very tricky, but this trickiness is not based on the crushing of strength. The average strength of the great demons is slightly stronger than the human race's martial realm, but it is only slightly stronger. The vast majority of great demons cannot defeat the experts who have fought out of the battle formation. What really makes the Kingdom Chu distressed is their endless tricks.

Just like...

An enhanced version of the demon teaching for me.

A group of great demons use guerrilla tactics just to collect intelligence on the defense around Zhuanxu's seal.

It's fleeting, without any delay.

The Kingdom Chu is helpless.

But the book records all the Bai family's understanding of the demon race, what countermeasures to take against what demon methods, and it is recorded in great detail. With this book, the Kingdom Chu can completely break free from the current passive situation as long as they study diligently.

She solemnly waved to Bai Ling: "Thank you, Second Elder!"

"Miss, you're welcome!"

Bai Ling smiled faintly, "If Miss doesn't mind, I am willing to take the book to the Kingdom Chu and provide advice in secret!"

Mi Xingli's eyes lit up, but she did not immediately agree, but looked eagerly at Ying Wuji.

This is Ying Wuji's territory, and she did not want to overstep by accepting the benefits from the Bai family without Ying Wuji's approval.

Ying Wuji nodded lightly, "Miss, put away the book for now. The Bai family will definitely assist the Kingdom Chu with the demon troubles, but whether to send someone over, and who to send, we still need to discuss it at length. It's not yet at the point where anyone can promise it casually."

This statement was somewhat pointed at Bai Ling.

But Bai Ling accepted it calmly, looking very calm.

Mi Xingli nodded, "Thank you!"

...

Bai Nong smiled and responded, "Miss, rest assured, with your relationship with Wuji, he will not sit idly by! By the way, may I ask, if we really go to war with the demon race, without considering other countries, how confident is the Kingdom Chu in completely annihilating the demon race?"

Mi Xingli's face looked a bit ugly, and after thinking for a while, she said, "If we go all out without considering the consequences, it will take about three years, but if we do that, our Kingdom Chu will probably be greatly damaged as well."

"I see..."

Bai Nong pondered, "Even with just over a hundred great demons, in the vast foreign domain, all the demon races combined are not just a hundred times the demon nest. If they come to attack in large numbers, it will probably be quite tricky!"

A hundred times!

Upon hearing this, Mi Xingli's pupils suddenly contracted.

But looking at the reactions of the Bai family, she found that although their expressions were quite heavy, they did not show any surprise.

Could it be...

That the great demons in the demon nest this time are really less than one percent of the whole?

If tens of thousands of great demons from the foreign domain really come to attack...

Mi Xingli didn't dare to think about the consequences.

Ying Wuji smiled at her, "Miss, now that you have the book, you might as well take a break for now. Next, we have some family matters to discuss. If there is any other help needed, we will let you know later!"

"Okay! Thank you!"

Mi Xingli stood up, thanked Ying Wuji solemnly, and then hurriedly left.

Although the situation within the Bai family was quite tricky to handle, she had indeed obtained what she could. With the help of this book, it could help the Kingdom Chu breathe a sigh of relief.

After she left.

The discussion hall was quiet for a long time.

Ying Wuji smiled and said, "Do the two elders want to use the Kingdom Chu to tell me how powerful the demon race really is?"

Bai Nong remained silent, but instead looked at Bai Ling with a faint smile.

Bai Ling's face looked somewhat embarrassed, but he still nodded, "The demon race is indeed very powerful, but it seems that you, Wuji, are not aware of it!"

"Oh?"

Ying Wuji's smile was cold, "Since you both think I should be aware of the strength of the demon race, why has the news of the demon troubles in the Kingdom Chu been kept from me until now? Do you think that as the head of the family, I am... not worthy?"

Bai Ling's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Absolutely not!"

Ying Wuji asked again, "Then why?"

Bai Ling was somewhat anxious, and looked at Bai Nong with displeasure, "Elder! This matter was done according to what you said. Say something!"

Bai Nong sighed deeply, "Wuji! It's not that we think you shouldn't be aware of this, but in these days, we really haven't seen your awareness of the danger."

Ying Wuji raised an eyebrow, "Oh? What danger awareness?"

Bai Nong stood up, faced everyone, took a deep breath, and said loudly, "In that case! I will speak frankly. The Bai family has been stationed in the Kingdom Li for more than half a year, but in reality, we have gained very little. More than eight hundred members of the Bai family mostly practice on their own at night, and work for the new Li city during the day."For nearly two hundred days, apart from some trivial official positions, the only useful position left for me is the one as a new army instructor.

I worked diligently for several months.

Using the secret method of the Tianren Clan, I cultivated five hundred elite soldiers for the Kingdom Li, turning more than five hundred ordinary people with mediocre innate talent into at least fourth-grade spirit embryos.

...

There were even seventy or more third-grade spirit embryos.

But what did we gain?

Did the Bai family gain an official position?

Did they gain a military position?

Even the five hundred disciples we cultivated were incorporated into the city defense army.

Wuji, as the son-in-law of the Kingdom Li, you should be aware that the city defenses of several cities near New Li are about to be taken over by Zhao Du, right?"

This news is just beginning to surface and has not yet reached the public stage.

But Ying Wuji cannot be unaware of it.

It is precisely this signal that has become the main source of his recent anxiety.

Bai Ling also spoke in a low voice: "Yes, Wuji! Our Bai family has put in so much effort, and the disciples brought by the Elder are nothing short of a miracle. Do we not deserve some official positions or a military position? And why did the King of Li appoint Zhao Du?"

In the room, there was a murmur of private conversation.

The expressions of the Bai family members were all complex.

Some were puzzled.

Some were resentful.

Some were confused.

Although most of the young people among them had their own thoughts, they still followed the commands of the higher-ups in general.

But now, it is clear that the command is problematic!

The five hundred disciples cultivated by the Elder can indeed be called a miracle among miracles. Without the secret method of the Elder, even with sufficient resources for cultivation, they would probably need four to five times the amount of time.

They have made such great contributions.

But the Bai family has indeed gained nothing.

It is strange that they can remain calm.

All eyes turned to Ying Wuji, wanting to understand his opinion.

But Ying Wuji seemed to have heard something extremely absurd.

With a smile tinged with sarcasm, he said, "Elder, do you really think that these five hundred disciples of the Bai family were just ordinary people with nothing to their name before joining the Bai family?"

Bai Nong frowned slightly, wanting to retort, "Isn't it..."

Ying Wuji directly interrupted, "Elder, I ask you, are any of these five hundred people weak in their basic skills?"

Bai Nong hesitated, "This..."

Although they are far from being called geniuses, it is too much to say that their basic skills are weak.

These five hundred young people have almost reached the limit under their respective resource constraints.

Ying Wuji asked again, "Let me ask you again! If there were no large-scale resources from the national treasury of the Kingdom Li, how confident are you in achieving the same effect? Or if it were another country, how confident are you in obtaining the same cultivation resources for five hundred ordinary people?"

Bai Nong's face stiffened, "I..."

Without cultivation resources, even if the Tianren Clan came, it would be difficult to save them.

Even the entire Bai family entering the Central Plains was only possible after spending many years gathering wild spirit herbs at the border between the foreign domain and the human domain to help the Bai family through the period of opening up after entering the Central Plains.

In the Human Dynasty, all resources are controlled by the nobles.

It is almost impossible for commoners to obtain cultivation resources without relying on the nobles.

Only the Kingdoms Qian and Li have this opportunity.

But the Kingdom Qian needs to exchange military merits for them. It is impossible to obtain cultivation resources for five hundred ordinary people without any foundation, and the Kingdom Qian does not have spiritual veins. Even if there are cultivation resources to be allocated, they are pitifully scarce.

On the contrary, the Kingdom Li...

It is simply outrageous how generous they are.

As for why they can be so generous, as an elder of the Bai family, Bai Nong naturally understands the reasons behind this.

Isn't it because Ying Wuji and Zhao Ji, this father-in-law and son-in-law pair, have given the large profits from the soap and glass mirror business to the Zhao family, exchanging it for the Zhao family's inventory of the past twenty years?

Although Ying Wuji has the demon vein in his hands and will eventually bring profits to the Kingdom Li, making up for the Zhao family's loss of cultivation resources and even having several times the surplus.

But the news of the demon vein is still kept within the Bai family, and the Kingdom Li has not even taken a piece of source stone from the demon vein.

The actions of Zhao Ji, even when mentioned by Bai Nong, cannot help but inspire admiration.

Without cultivation resources, he has no confidence in achieving such a great feat.

Obtaining equivalent resources for five hundred commoners from another country is nothing but a pipe dream for him!

Ying Wuji's gaze became slightly cold as he continued, "Then let me ask you, Elder, did any of these five hundred students not know how to read?"

Bai Nong shook his head, "No!"

He felt a little out of breath.

Five hundred young commoners, and not a single one of them is illiterate. This is already too unreasonable.

Ying Wuji slammed his hand heavily on the table, and his voice rose several tones out of thin air, "Did you teach them?"

Bai Nong: "..."

Although he was very resentful, he could only bow his head now.

He cannot bring himself to say that this miracle was brought about by him.

Ying Wuji's gaze was stern as he continued, "Then let me ask you one last question, Elder. For those disciples who broke through to the third-grade spirit embryos, they all recited the classics of the hundred schools, went to the academy whenever they had the chance, cultivated their energy and refined their spirits, and only then did they have some insight and break through to the twelfth level. Is this also the Elder's credit?"

Bai Nong: "..."Ying Wuji sneered, "The art of training by the Celestial Clan is extremely exquisite, but it only maximizes a person's innate talent, getting as close as possible to the limit of bloodline talent, with minimal accumulation of acquired skills.

For the past six months, the great elder has worked tirelessly day and night, laboring hard.

Using the shortest time and the fewest resources, to allow these common geniuses to reach the heights they should have achieved as soon as possible.

It's truly exhausting.

But to call it a miracle.

Isn't that too presumptuous?"

If it weren't for the fact that this training technique actually had some effect.

Ying Wuji would have really wanted to curse.

Training geniuses into geniuses?

What kind of nonsense is this?

Bai Nong's face turned green and purple, despite his age, it was the first time he had been scolded by a younger generation.

But he still said, "Calling it a miracle is just an excuse. I just want you to know, our Bai Clan bears the destiny of the Celestial Clan, and we have the potential to reach the sky and the earth.

We settled in the Kingdom of Li and sought refuge with you, in order to turn the tide!

Not to hide behind the Human Clan dynasty and go with the flow!

I can even tell you clearly that the matter of the Chu Kingdom's demon trouble, I did indeed intentionally not tell you.

It's because you have no idea how terrifying the demon race is now!

Just a hundred great demons, if our Bai family were to assist with all our might, the demon trouble would have been resolved long ago!

But if the demon trouble is resolved this time, what about next time?

...

The Kingdom of Li seems to be a prosperous era where the people live in peace and contentment!

But under the absolute power of oppression!

Everything is illusory!

The Kingdom of Li is like a pot of warm water, constantly boiling you, boiling you until you face a great disaster, and still not have a trace of fighting spirit!

Why didn't I tell you about the demon trouble in the Chu Kingdom?

It's because I want to nurture this demon trouble!

Nurture it until this demon's nest is large enough to take a bite out of a piece of flesh from the Chu Kingdom, make the Chu Kingdom ache, and make you shudder at the sight!

Only then will you possibly realize what kind of mission you bear!

The second elder of the prophecy sect had already written a book, ready to hand it over to the Chu Kingdom, but I have been stopping it all along, for this reason.

But when he handed over the book just now, I didn't stop him.

It's because I know that the demon trouble in the Chu Kingdom has reached a point of no return, even with the assistance of this book, it's difficult to completely quell this matter with the strength of one country.

That girl thinks that the demon trouble in the Chu Kingdom can be resolved in three years, it's because she, like you, has no idea how terrifying the demon race is!

By then.

You will all see how absurd your previous understanding of the demon race was!

Before today.

You definitely couldn't have imagined that the second elder of the prophecy sect would reach an agreement with me, a member of the welcoming sect.

That's because you don't understand the desperate and chaotic memories we had when we were in the foreign domain.

Our Bai family must have a strong power firmly in our hands!"

Ying Wuji's temples throbbed as he listened to this speech.

He could understand the feelings of these two elders very well.

But he was also infuriated by Bai Nong's stubbornness and self-will.

He was so angry that he was about to laugh, "Elder, I ask you, where did you get this information?"

Bai Nong said in a deep voice, "Naturally, it's from the people we arranged in the Zhou royal family!"

Ying Wuji asked again, "Are these pieces of information obtained firsthand by them, or are they known by Zhou Tianzi or the co-king?"

Bai Nong's expression became more serious, and after some consideration, he said, "Naturally, it's the latter!"

"Oh!"

Ying Wuji snorted coldly, "Can this be interpreted as another meaning, that the Zhou royal family wants you to know something, so you can know something?"

Bai Nong's white eyebrows furrowed together, "You can't say that. When we receive information, we naturally go to verify its authenticity..."

Ying Wuji directly interrupted, "I'll ask you again, the people we arranged in the Zhou royal family, who do they listen to?"

Bai Nong fell silent for a moment, "Me!"

"Are you sure they completely listen to your orders?"

"Of course!"

Ying Wuji sneered, "So, do you know that they secretly used a spell of prayer on me?"

"What!"

Bai Nong was shocked and incredulous, his face full of disbelief.

Previously, Bai Yi had tried to test him a few times, but he had not realized what had happened, after all, he knew very little about the internal affairs of the Li royal family.

But now... it seemed like something big had happened!

[Reminder]: When the target's emotional fluctuation value reaches 100, they will receive the Earth-rank technique "Spirit Communication."

Ying Wuji's brow twitched.

He was just guessing, and he wasn't sure if the spell of prayer was from the people of the Bai family in the Zhou royal family.

...

The reason for saying this was to test Bai Nong, and regardless of the actual situation, he wanted to firmly grasp the command of the Bai family in his own hands.

But looking at Bai Nong's current reaction, it seemed like he was unaware.

His emotional bar had just broken through eighty.

This Earth-rank "Spirit Communication" actually came from another person.

He had really tricked him!

With a wave of his hand, he directly captured Bai Nong.

The light in his palm spewed out, directly imprinting into his brow.

The next moment, a colorful light flashed in Bai Nong's eyes.

It was a kind of small spell similar to mind-reading, although it wasn't as vicious as the soul-capturing spell, it could still reflect a person's emotions through different colors of light.

And the light that flashed in Bai Nong's eyes now.

Was extreme fear.Ying Wuji's eyes were gloomy as he said, "Bai Ni, why are you so afraid when I mentioned the ritual of prayer and supplication?"

Bai Nong saw this and had a very bad guess in his heart, "Bai Ni, you..."

Bai Ni was also at a loss.

He didn't expect Ying Wuji to know such a secret.

His eyes dodged, wanting to come up with a reason quickly.

But before he could even think of it, a mirror suddenly appeared in front of him.

Then.

His head ached sharply, and he fainted on the spot.

Ying Wuji snorted coldly, and directly, in front of everyone, he enhanced the formation that had been arranged before the clan meeting by more than ten times, leaving no doubt that anyone who dared to leak the content of the clan meeting would die on the spot.

Everyone present was in a panic.

What kind of major event was he going to announce that warranted such a big move?

Ying Wuji sat back in his seat and looked calmly at Bai Nong, "Elder, explain to everyone what this ritual of prayer and supplication is all about!"

Bai Nong's eyes were filled with uncontrollable worry. Before, he had confidence because he didn't think this ritual of prayer and supplication had anything to do with the Bai family, and he didn't even understand the connection between Ying Wuji and this ritual of prayer and supplication.

After all, Ying Wuji didn't even have a legitimate heir.

But now...

He steadied himself and recounted the ritual of prayer and supplication as described by Bai Yi.

Most of the people present were confused, with only a few showing thoughtful expressions.

Ying Wuji tapped the table with his fingers, "Although you have only been here for half a year, I'm sure you've heard some rumors about the Crown Prince, right?"

Everyone looked at each other.

They all nodded.

After all, the Bai family and the Li family had some grievances, and the Li family wanted to overthrow the Zhao family by slandering the Crown Prince. They couldn't possibly not know.

Ying Wuji said expressionlessly, "Let me clarify, this is not a rumor!"

Everyone: "..."

Bai Nong: "..."

Bai Ling: "..."

Ying Wuji pointed to himself, "The Crown Princess is carrying my child!"

Everyone: "!!!"

Ying Wuji: "The Crown Prince Zhao Ning is also my wife!"

Everyone: "!!!"

Ying Wuji: "According to the agreement between me and my father-in-law, King Li, the offspring of the Crown Prince and I will be the next Crown Prince of the Li Kingdom!"

Everyone: "!!!"

...

Ying Wuji suddenly stood up and threw a scroll in front of Bai Nong, "Now do you know why I have been reluctant to hand over official positions to you? It's because you think you can control everything and let a few rascals run amok outside. If the Crown Prince had been pregnant early on, all of this would belong to our Bai family!"

Bai Nong: "..."

His face turned pale as he reached out to touch the scroll.

But the scroll flew up into the air and unfolded on its own.

It recorded the names of various official positions.

At the end of the scroll, there were nearly a thousand appointments, all of which were the next batch of Bai family disciples prepared by Ying Wuji, which had been postponed for some unknown reason.

Now... they knew the reason.

Seeing the annotations next to each name, they regretted it even more.

It was densely packed, all at the third level of the eleventh layer, and there were even quite a few marked at the twelfth layer of a certain aspect.

This group of disciples had already reached the end of the previous "miracle."

Ying Wuji said expressionlessly, "These people work hard in their cultivation, are diligent in their studies, and have the essence of knowledge from various schools of thought. Even without the Bai family's training, they can still become outstanding individuals through the path of the Academy, just like the dragon and phoenix among men.

The Elder still thinks that the Bai family is the only one leading the way in the battle between the human race and the demon race?

I believe that the ritual of prayer and supplication is the result of the misdeeds of those rascals from the Bai family outside. The Elder is not aware of the situation.

But I still trust the Elder.

The Elder, however, is stubborn and has deceived me, a young man!

It may be inevitable for the Bai family to fall into such a predicament.

But to be in such a predicament and be ignorant is the fault of the two Elders!"

Bai Nong's lips trembled.

He lowered his head in despair, "Please punish me, Clan Leader!"

Bai Ling had just recovered from the shock and said in a trembling voice, "Please punish me, Clan Leader!"

Ying Wuji stood up, "There is no need for punishment. Both of you are getting old, so just step down from your positions as Elders. From today on, all the duties of the Bai family will be decided by me alone, and the lives of more than eight hundred people in the Bai family will be borne by me alone. Do you all understand?"

Bai Nong and Bai Ling took a deep breath, "We understand!"

Now that the two former Elders had spoken, there was no reason for the others to refuse.

"We understand!"

Ying Wuji's expression eased slightly.

Even if the two Elders were in constant communication with him, they might not have been able to avoid today's predicament.

But being able to make these two Elders completely listen to him would make things easier in the future.

However.

There were some things that only he could resolve.

Before today, when he exposed Bai Ni, he wasn't sure of the origin of the ritual of prayer and supplication. But now that it was confirmed, it was very likely that Ji Tong or Lao Bi Deng was behind it.

If they were behind it, they would not fail to inform the old man, and would definitely do so through some means.

Zhao Ji probably already knows that this matter is related to the Bai family.

But he didn't communicate with me.

This already explains a lot.

The pressure was immense.This move is truly venomous.

It has pushed both the Zhao and Bai to the brink of a cliff.

It's uncertain whether it can be resolved.

Ying Wuji took a deep breath and glanced at the unconscious Bai Nong.

He said indifferently, "Bai Nong, you will temporarily assume the role of the elder. Bai Nong is now in your hands. By any means necessary, summon back the traitors of the Bai family from abroad to face their death!"

I feel like having some spicy soup.
