You call this the way of the sword?

When Bai Xiaoxing left, her legs were weak and her soul seemed to float away.

She thought to herself, "I'll never dare to tease my brat again."

In Yuncheng, the night ghost Duan Kang couldn't sit still any longer and wandered aimlessly through the streets.

Seeing that there were demons and ghosts all around, as well as a fully-level, permanently stationed army, I finally felt a little safe.

But that was all. In the end, Duan Kang instinctively kept his distance from the city gate, circling around the teleportation array repeatedly, ready to move to another place at any time.

During this period, he contacted his own base multiple times, and even after confirming that everything was alright, he was still not at ease and became increasingly anxious.

What does it mean if our own base is safe?

This means that Fengtian has a higher probability of using himself as a pretext, and wherever he is, disaster will follow!

Duan Kang felt he must be going crazy; his mind was filled with nothing but Fengtian.

He knew that these thoughts were all unfounded and mere fantasies, but the more he told himself that they were false and wrong, the more palpitations and anxiety he felt.

It was as if the heavens were guiding him, teaching him to follow his heart and seek benefit while avoiding harm.

"Could it be that Heaven has spared me?"

"Oh God..."

Duan Kang subconsciously looked up at the sky and then heard someone suddenly shout in the street.

"Fengtian has appeared!"

"He's here!"

"He's really coming to attack the city!"

As if someone had spoken their innermost thoughts, Duan Kang was so frightened that he instantly became invisible, darted into the alley, scaled the wall, rushed out of the window, and used a grappling hook to leap across the sky and climb over walls. He fell flat on his face, rolled three times, and finally crouched down to touch the teleportation array.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

Under the astonished and uncertain gaze of the city's garrison, Duan Kang stared wide-eyed, wisps of snot escaping his nostrils with each breath.

In less than 20 seconds, he burst out with unprecedented speed. The moment he stopped, he felt his heart pounding and his brain struggling to keep up with his thoughts.

Where was he trying to escape to?

At that moment, another astonishing roar erupted from the street.

"Holy crap, Grandpa Bai has made his move!!"

"Is it true that a 3 million tael bounty is offered for Fengtian's head?"

"Nonsense! What bounty? This is Grandpa Bai's dowry!!"

"Hey, if I kill Fengtian, I can marry Grandma Bai and get both wealth and beauty!!"

What the heck?

Duan Kang looked in the direction of the sound and saw countless demons and ghosts rushing out of the city.

He paused for two seconds, then looked at the city defense troops and asked, "Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

This city defense force was a squad of bat demons. They had also followed suit and flipped through the bounty board. Looking at Bai Xiaoxing's sexy and graceful image, their mouths watered.

They didn't answer Duan Kang, but they had already said everything they needed to say.

Duan Kang opened the bounty list with suspicion. He was immediately amazed by Bai Xiaoxing's beauty, but he quickly frowned and felt that something was wrong again.

"If one has fought against Fengtian and formed an enmity, one should know how powerful Fengtian is, yet one still tries to lure him with money and women... Do you really think that overwhelming force can defeat Fengtian?"

Duan Kang immediately scoffed and shook his head, thinking that the human wave tactic was simply suicide.

His team's average level is 25, all equipment is Tier 2, all jewelry is fully equipped and enchanted, and their main attributes are over 10,000. With this configuration, they can already dominate Pingchuan.

Even a low-level peak human would die if they came.

However, the explosion at Fengtian rendered everything futile.

Duan Kang was very confident at this moment. Looking at the entire Pingchuan, he believed that there were definitely no more than ten rookie teams that could compete with his Death Squad.

In other words, Bai Xiaoxing's bounty wasn't for Fengtian's head, but for the roots of Yuncheng!

The demons and ghosts running out of the city now are all going to their deaths!

"Oh no, something terrible is about to happen!"

Duan Kang immediately tried to contact Qing Shi, but Qing Shi had already been annoyed by him and didn't reply for a long time. Left with no other choice, Duan Kang rushed to the city wall, ready to reveal his identity and explain Bai Xiaoxing's wickedness to the city defense commander.

But as soon as they climbed the city wall, they heard someone crying out in anger.

"That guy killed my teammate, then kidnapped me and beat and humiliated me. I barely escaped, and I'm here to take his life! I have money to offer, and I even swore an oath to find a husband for him—what's wrong with that? What right do you have to arrest me!"

"Where is the leader of the Green Lion Clan? Tell him to come back and explain himself to me, or my Bai family will never let this go! You want me to leave? Why should I leave? Let's start a war! Make the Green Lion Clan come back and apologize to me, or my Bai family will declare war on you, the Green Lion Clan!!"

"I stayed in Pingchuan for more than half a year just to explore the battlefield scars. What did I do to deserve this? Waaaaah..."

On the city wall, Bai Xiaoxing was acting like a drama queen. One second she was cursing and swearing fiercely, and the next she was wiping away tears with a stern face, as if she had suffered a lot of grievances.

The city garrison commander was sweating profusely from her antics and regretted getting involved.

Although he was the commander-in-chief, he was still just a young man.

Aside from spending more time in Pingchuan, having a higher rank, and more authority, his actual background and combat strength are inferior to Bai Xiaoxing's. Besides, what Bai Xiaoxing said makes sense.

Yes, a bounty order would bring out all sorts of demons and ghosts, which seems problematic no matter how you look at it. But then again, what's wrong with spending money to buy the head of an enemy?

The reward is entirely voluntary, so why would you provoke her?

The officer hadn't expected that bringing Bai Xiaoxing back so quickly would put him in such a difficult position.

Helpless, he could only speak softly and kindly, almost calling Bai Xiaoxing his little aunt.

The city's defense troops looked around at the sky and the ground, pretending it was none of their business and turning a blind eye.

Duan Kang, who had come with great momentum, was also intimidated by Bai Xiaoxing's unruly nature. He turned around and blended into the city defense army, naturally chatting with them about today's weather.

Finally, the young officer found a breakthrough and quickly changed the subject, saying, "Since there's a reason for this, let's not pursue it further. Everyone's gone to help you get revenge, aren't you going to go see?"

Looking out, all that could be seen outside the city was the howling of demons and ghosts, with thousands upon thousands of demons and ghosts spreading out like a net, searching everywhere for Fengtian's whereabouts.

Bai Xiaoxing wiped her eyes and said irritably, "I barely managed to escape, what are you up to? Do you want me to go and die again?"

The young officer chuckled and said, "That's not what I meant. It's just that... everyone risked their lives to avenge you, but you, as the person in charge, weren't there. It's not satisfying to get revenge like that."

Bai Xiaoxing's eyes instantly turned fierce. "What do you mean by 'avenging me'? Are you saying I can't come up with 300 million? Then why don't you mention my vow to find a husband? Can my vow be fake?"

"They only went for my money, to sleep with me, okay? It's ridiculous. They even risked their lives to avenge me. They didn't have to go. Did I force them? Huh?"

What a silver tongue!

The young official was speechless for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look at the sky and then at the ground.

This old lady is someone you have to serve to know the truth. I just wanted to ask her to leave, but no matter what I said, it was wrong.

At this moment, an adjutant, unable to stand it any longer, walked over and said in a deep voice, "Enough. Whether you're from the Bai family or the Hei family, if you cause trouble on the city walls again, we have the right to deal with you."

"We already know the reason for the bounty. You may leave now."

The young officer had just given his admiring look to his adjutant when Bai Xiaoxing said, slightly guilty, "I'm not leaving. Who knew we'd end up sending so many people out like this?"

"If anything really goes wrong... you guys can be my witnesses, it's definitely not my fault."

The young officer stared wide-eyed in disbelief, exclaiming, "Holy crap, you're trying to pin this on us now?"

"Our military won't take the blame for this!"
