When a person is in a high-ranking position, their words carry the law.

Chapter 285 My People Have Arrived

The seventh time—

Fang Jinglue returned to the same spot for the seventh time.

His back was covered in cold sweat.

By the time he returned to the same spot for the fifth time, Fang Jinglue had already considered leaving, but it seemed that he couldn't even leave if he wanted to.

Even if you retreat in the direction you want to go back, you will still be back in the same place in an instant.

He had no idea what had happened, let alone what Bai Ze had done to him.

It's like... time has been frozen.

As this absurd thought flashed through his mind, Fang Jinglue couldn't help but glance at the figure on the boulder again, his eyes already filled with fear.

The president of the martial arts club at Yanjing Martial Arts University was defeated before he even made a move when facing Bai Ze.

Bai Ze on the boulder seemed completely unconcerned about the general's actions.

Since it was just a roadside animal, it would be incredibly easy for Bai Ze to kill it.

Just as Fang Jinglue's mind was gradually filled with fear, a voice quietly reached his ears.

"Let's go again."

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinglue was greatly encouraged. He transformed into a blur and frantically fled from the boulder.

But at the same time, that feeling of time standing still returned.

However, this time, Fang Jinglue seemed to still have some awareness, and his consciousness did not completely stop.

He felt as if the whole world had slowed down a thousand times, and he was being pulled back the way he came by an invisible force.

At that moment, Bai Ze on the boulder also twitched his brow and looked towards the distant forest.

A sword shadow flashed through the air, striking Bai Ze with lightning speed.

Its sharp edge seemed capable of cutting through everything, carrying an unstoppable sword momentum, instantly traversing a distance of hundreds of meters.

"Om-"

The illusory sword shadow stopped in front of Bai Ze. Under his gaze, the sword shadow seemed to be bound by an invisible force, frozen in place.

"Impressive. This is the first time I've ever seen a five-star martial artist with such strong mental power."

A gentle breeze swept by, and a leisurely voice drifted over, "Even though the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows hasn't been opened yet, one can still project spiritual energy out of the body. Should we call this a primordial Dao embryo? Is it truly terrifying?"

The young man appeared in front of Fang Jinglue. He was not wearing combat uniform or armor, but rather the uniform of an executive officer of the Martial Arts Association, and was carrying a longsword with an alloy scabbard.

He had regular features and his appearance could only be considered above average, but he had a dashing and unrestrained temperament, and between his eyebrows was an undisguised sharpness.

Just by looking at his appearance, you can tell he is a master swordsman.

"Sword Intent?"

Bai Ze seemed to have finally perked up a bit, looking at the newcomer, "Are you Yan Wuji from Yanjing Martial Arts University?"

The illusory sword shadow was not a physical object, but rather a sword intent formed from spiritual power.

Fang Jinglue saw through his weakness and attacked Bai Ze with his sword intent, allowing him to escape.

However, Bai Ze had refined his "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm," and his spiritual power had long since become as strong as a six-star being. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to ignore the spiritual power suppression from Yun Shu and Rhine.

The opponent's sword intent did not have much effect.

However, it did reveal some of my true abilities.

While the current cultivation in "Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm" focuses on developing the physical body, its essence lies in the five senses. By developing the five senses, the sixth sense is awakened, followed by the seventh and eighth senses, gradually deepening the understanding.

Many people know that Bai Ze is highly skilled, and the deceased Yun Shu knows that Bai Ze's physical body is also very strong, but before Lu Qiudi confirmed that he was a "Primordial Dao Embryo", few people knew that Bai Ze's spiritual power was also very strong.

The visitor immediately identified Bai Ze as having an "innate Dao embryo" and also tested his spiritual power, showing that he was quite capable.

Although Bai Ze never admitted to having a "primordial Dao embryo"...
"I am Yan Wuji."

The young man laughed and said, "But I've already graduated from Yanjing Martial Arts University. Although graduates of prestigious universities like Yanjing Martial Arts University and Yujing Martial Arts University often stick together, we shouldn't turn into any kind of faction. You and I don't actually need to be so hostile."

"Senior Yan—"

Fang Jinglue had now emerged from that strange state. Upon hearing Yan Wuji's words, he immediately showed a look of anxiety, but was stopped by a glance from Yan Wuji.

Upon hearing this, Bai Ze revealed a playful expression and said, "That's great! Your Yanjing Martial Arts University will all stand behind me. This way, the friendship between the two schools will not be lacking. Isn't that wonderful?"

Trying to get close to him, huh? You haven't seen how Bai used to live off women and solicit investments everywhere.

Bai Ze's level of shamelessness has always been adjusted according to actual needs; he can be thin when he needs to be thin and thick when he needs to be thick, just as flexible as his bottom line.

"a ha ha ha,"

Upon hearing this, Yan Wuji chuckled awkwardly twice and said, "Although I really want to say yes, unfortunately, my teacher would probably think no. However—"

He changed the subject, saying, "Let's skip the backstabbing and scheming. We will also step in, but we won't stand behind you. Just like you said before, whoever is stronger can represent Dongxia."

As Yan Wuji spoke, he raised his hand and unleashed a burst of energy, the energy ripples spreading outwards.

Not long after, figures rushed out of the forest and landed behind Yan Wuji.

"Furthermore, we are all compatriots, so we should naturally be united against external forces. If Ursus and Yingguo want to use a war of attrition, we can take them on for Bai Ze," Yan Wuji promised loudly.

Compared to Fang Jinglue, this person's level is much higher.

He didn't mention the matter of the Yuan Qi Crystal at all, but if Bai Ze really needed someone else to help him with the gauntlet battle, then it would be unreasonable not to give some kind of reward.

One could even argue that it would be better not to give any indication.

That only shows that Bai Ze is petty and stingy. In the long run, it is more harmful than giving away a little bit of Yuan Qi crystal.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Yan Wuji is a true gentleman, but that does not affect the subsequent development.

and so--

Bai Ze stood with his hands behind his back and said leisurely, "No need, my men will be here soon."

As soon as the words were spoken, ripples appeared beneath the giant rock, and figures materialized out of thin air.

There is no distinction between day and night within the Yingzhou Secret Realm, but Bai Ze has always been calculating the time.

Two days have passed since he entered the secret realm.

It is now exactly noon two days from now.

Based on Bai Ze's previous calculations and his perception of the primordial energy, the entrance would appear nearby at noon, so he had been staying on the boulder until then.

Moreover, prior to this, Bai Ze had expended his spiritual energy and subtly altered the spatial order.

Thus, the group from Yujing Martial Arts University appeared beneath the giant rock.

Sima Ming, Xu Kaicheng, Shi Qingfeng, Chu Junzhao, Zhao Yao...

When Yan Wuji saw the faces of the students from Yujing Martial Arts University, a thought popped into his mind.

'Nearly two hours ago, he had already calculated the changes in spatial fluctuations and then landed here. His computing power... it's simply inhuman.'
