Chapter 628: The Yin Demonic Venerable 45

Hearing Bai Tong's words, the several ancestors who had once been held in the highest regard by the four great sects immediately showed expressions of horror.

Then they all shouted angrily at Bai Tong, "Demon, your heart is truly vicious!"

"Vicious?" Bai Tong laughed disdainfully.

"Am I more vicious than you? Besides, aren't you righteous cultivators all supposed to have plenty of backbone? How many people have shouted that they'd rather die standing than live on their knees? And besides, didn't I give them another choice besides crippling your dantians?" Bai Tong said with an unpleasant smile.

As soon as Bai Tong finished speaking, one of the elders stabbed his sword straight into the white-haired old man's dantian from behind.

"Ancestor, don't blame me for being ruthless. There are hundreds of thousands of disciples in the sect altogether! Sacrificing you in exchange for the lives of all of us is worth it."

The next moment, the leader of another sect personally crippled his own ancestor's dantian as well and said, "Ancestor, don't blame me. I had no other choice!"

"Don't worry. After your dantian is crippled, the sect will continue supporting you just as before!"

"I was forced into this. For the sake of the sect, I had no choice!"

"All the disciples in the sect will remember your sacrifice!"

……

Hearing the words of these disciples who had once bowed and scraped before them, two of the ancestors of the four great sects were so enraged that they died on the spot.

"You... you!"

Before they could even catch their breath, their heads lolled to the side, their eyes wide open, and they collapsed onto the ground.

Seeing this, the people who had crippled their dantians not only felt no guilt, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. They then cautiously approached Bai Tong with ingratiating expressions.

"Emperor Bai Tong, we've done as you instructed."

Hearing this, Bai Tong looked at them mockingly. "Get lost! A bunch of spineless cowards!"

And they thought they could kill him?

Yet the people from the four great sects didn't care in the slightest about the mockery in Bai Tong's words. Instead, when he finished speaking, they all breathed sighs of relief as though they had just been pardoned, then hurriedly withdrew from Tang Family Fortress like a receding tide.

In an instant, Tang Family Fortress, which had previously been packed with cultivators, returned to its usual peaceful and quiet state.

……

After everyone around them had left, Tang Wan looked at Bai Tong with a smile. "Tongtong, you were amazing just now!"

Hearing this, Bai Tong's eyes lit up slightly. He desperately suppressed the smug expression on his face and deliberately acted calm. "Really?"

"Of course! You were super cool! I knew you were the best!" Tang Wan said with a beaming smile.

Hearing this, Bai Tong coughed lightly, then pretended to be modest. "It was nothing much."

But the corners of his lips were raised so high that he couldn't hide them at all, completely revealing how pleased he really was.

Just then, Tang Fei's voice came from nearby, carrying a faint trace of bewilderment. "So you've already broken through to the Spirit Emperor realm! How did you do it?"

As he said this, Tang Fei's expression was filled with a hint of confusion and complicated emotions.

He had never dreamed that Bai Tong's guarantee would actually be the fact that he had already become a Spirit Emperor.

If even a Spirit Emperor couldn't guarantee Wanwan's safety, then what could possibly guarantee her safety?

And after today, his Tang Family Fortress would absolutely become a place that no one dared to provoke simply because it had a Spirit Emperor for a son-in-law.

Thinking of this, Tang Fei felt even more conflicted.

Damn it, his son-in-law was too powerful. He probably wouldn't be able to regain the upper hand for the rest of his life!

How infuriating!
