Chapter 233 Saved
Bai Ping looked at Shen Yutang in front of her, then at the three Nascent Soul stage experts outside, and sighed. There was no other way but to use the decree her mother had given her when she came.
She issued a golden decree, and the voice of a majestic woman resounded throughout this space and time.
“The Venerable Qingqiu decrees: This dragon is a guest of my Qingqiu Fox Clan. My daughter is here to take him away on the Venerable’s orders.”
The edict was very short, but no one dared to act rashly. Bai Ping also withdrew his treasures. A Nascent Soul stage expert walked up from behind. He was the ancestor of the nearby Wang family.
"Fellow Daoist Bai Ping, it's been many years since we last met. You still look as radiant as ever. Today you've come to our human race with the Venerable One's decree. We have been extremely impolite in not receiving you."
Venerables are powerful and generally do not take action. They hold high positions, and it would be unseemly for them to attack juniors casually. Therefore, a tacit rule has been formed in the Myriad Realms: a Venerable can issue his decree to do whatever he wants, and everyone must obey. If they do not obey, the Venerable can kill them at will.
However, Venerable ones rarely use edicts, because they already have their own power and can simply delegate tasks to their subordinates. Using an edict implies that the subordinates cannot handle the matter properly and are only using the Venerable's face, which obviously makes the subordinates feel ashamed.
For example, the white screen she's using now means that she can't rescue Gu Yuchuan from the human race and bring him back to their Qingqiu, which definitely makes her a little unhappy, or even angry.
However, since it's being used, it should have some effect; otherwise, that would be the most frustrating thing.
Bai Ping ignored the group and walked up to Shen Yutang: "Shen Yutang, how about it? Can I take this junior away now? Are you still going to stop us?"
Shen Yutang clenched his fists, so angry he felt like he was about to vomit blood. But even if he had a thousand reasons to keep Gu Yuchuan, he dared not defy the Venerable's decree. Today, he had disobeyed the Venerable's decree, and tomorrow, the Venerable might descend upon their Shen family. At that time, even a human Venerable would be unable to say anything, as it was he who had disobeyed the Venerable's order first.
He could only stare intently at Gu Yuchuan: "What a dragon, what a monster! You'd better hide in Qingqiu forever and never come out, otherwise, if you do, I will kill you no matter where you are. Our feud is far from over!"
Even when Gu Yuchuan was still in danger, he was unwilling to lose a word, let alone now, he is not afraid at all.
"Don't worry, even if you don't come looking for me, I will come looking for you one day. I advise you to put more of your energy into educating your juniors. It's shameful for you that three mid-stage Golden Core cultivators can't beat one early-stage Golden Core cultivator. How about this, when I reach the late-stage Nascent Soul realm, I'll come looking for you and see if you're as weak as your useless juniors."
This is absolutely devastating. This is the thing that Shen Yutang cares about most, and Gu Yuchuan said it out loud in public like this. It's not just them here, but also the heads of the Wang, Song, and Jin families. Although they are all human forces, they are also in competition with each other. He can imagine what kind of public opinion their Shen family will face when they go back, and they may not be able to hold their heads high for a long time.
He flicked his sleeve: "Fine, then I'll be waiting for you. The Shen family's miraculous techniques are not just empty words. When the time comes, your life will be used to atone for the Shen family's reputation."
After saying that, he flew away. This operation had made him lose face greatly. All his plans had come to nothing. He had originally planned to take advantage of Xiao Wei's luck and become a Nascent Soul stage expert. Now, not only had he failed to find her, but three Golden Core stage experts of the Shen family had also died, and the reputation of the entire Shen family had been affected. It was a case of trying to steal a chicken but losing the rice instead.
However, he did not regret it. The path of immortality is all about competition. If he had not competed for this fortune, he might never have been able to advance to the Nascent Soul stage in his entire life. It was just a matter of being one step behind. His only regret was that when he sent people to capture the dragon, he should have sent a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Things might have turned out completely differently.
However, there's no use thinking about that now. The most important thing he needs to do now is to stabilize the situation at home.
Seeing him leave, Bai Ping sneered a few times. He looked at the people behind him and said, "Do any of you have anything else to say? If not, then I'll take him with me."
Having witnessed Bai Ping's ferocity, the group naturally dared not do anything and immediately made way for him.
Bai Ping pulled Gu Yuchuan onto a flying boat. After taking off, Bai Ping didn't speak to Gu Yuchuan, and her attitude even seemed somewhat indifferent. This was obviously inconsistent with what she had done. She had come all this way to save him, so what did she mean by being so cold to him? Gu Yuchuan really didn't understand.
However, Gu Yuchuan wanted to find out why the other person had come to save him, so he walked over to her side.
"Thank you for saving me, senior. I am very grateful. However, I have never had any relationship with the Venerable One of Qingqiu. I don't know why the Venerable One asked you to save me."
Bai Ping glanced at Gu Yuchuan, her expression not good, even somewhat agitated.
“My mother asked me to come and save you, and she has her reasons. If she hadn’t sent me, why would I have come to save you? As for why, you’ll find out when you get to Qingqiu. I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t like the scent of Xiao Wei on you.”
This Bai Ping was indeed an old friend of Xiao Wei's. Five hundred years ago, the two of them were known as the Twin Heroes of Qingqiu. In fact, Xiao Wei, as the person favored by destiny, was even more powerful and had a higher status than Bai Ping, the daughter of a Venerable. As the daughter of a Venerable, Bai Ping naturally wouldn't have a very good relationship with Xiao Wei.
However, things don't always go as planned. Bai Ping's love tribulation went very smoothly, but Xiao Wei's was a different story. Now she's practically half-dead. Bai Ping doesn't want Xiao Wei to come back, but the Venerable One thinks that Xiao Wei's luck is so profound that she should stay in Qingqiu. Otherwise, if she falls, half of that luck will dissipate, which wouldn't be good for Qingqiu.
Gu Yuchuan didn't know their relationship, but from what he heard, he knew that Xiao Wei's relationship with the powerful figure from before the year of the purchase wasn't good. He figured he shouldn't continue to provoke trouble. Fortunately, he survived and escaped danger, which was enough. He could deal with the rest after meeting the Fox Clan's Venerable One. He hoped she could be of some help to him; otherwise, the mission would be difficult to complete.
