Chapter 82 The Feud Between the Luo, Bai, Xiao, and Cheng Families

According to the message relayed back by Luo Yi and Luo Xin,

Bai Yinghao leaned forward slightly and spoke in a solemn tone, his gaze unconsciously sweeping over Bai Zhenbang, who was sitting upright to the side, "They were at the scene of the crime and saw everything clearly."

"The critically injured young man was named Xiao Chen. He originally wanted to hire those five thugs to attack and kidnap Xi Xi, and then jump out to play the hero and save the beauty, so as to win Xi Xi's favor."

Bai Yinghao paused, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "However, his clumsy scheme was discovered before it even began to be implemented."

The message was delivered by that little girl from the Qin family, who also sent these five people to protect Xixi.

He pointed to his phone screen; in the video, Luo Lingtian and his four companions were surrounding Xiao Chen, exuding an imposing aura.

"Just as the five young men were about to deal with Xiao Chen, Old Man Cheng suddenly appeared and said that Xiao Chen was his grandson."

After relaying the information from Luo Yi and his sister, Bai Yinghao wisely shut his mouth and stood quietly to the side, waiting for his father, Bai Zhenbang, to process this astonishing news.

Luo Yi and his sister were originally Luo Xixi's personal bodyguards. They had been trained by the Bai family since childhood and were highly skilled in martial arts.

Later, the Bai family arranged for him to protect Luo Xixi. Although it was said to be an arrangement, the wishes of the siblings were actually consulted beforehand, so it was a mutual agreement.

The incident happened suddenly, and the siblings' primary task was to protect Luo Xixi. They didn't dare to get involved in the conflict between Luo Lingtian and the others and Xiao Chen. To avoid being caught in the crossfire, they even retreated to a safe distance.

When Cheng Xiaotian appeared, the oppressive aura of a Celestial Realm expert washed over them, and they dared not approach him even a step closer.

Although the two were disciples of the Bai family, they were also aware of the long-standing feud between the Bai and Cheng families.

However, as the patriarch of the Cheng family, Cheng Xiaotian rarely left his home, so they had never actually seen him in person.

In addition, being too far from the battlefield, Zhao Hao, Mo Yu, and the others couldn't hear a word of their hushed conversation and had no idea who the suddenly appearing old man was. They could only rely on what they saw and heard to relay the most basic information back to the Bai family.

It wasn't until the video went viral online that Bai Yinghao, combining information from Luo Yi and his sister, pieced together the complete truth: that old devil Cheng Xiaotian had actually found his long-lost grandson!

"You mean, the Cheng family's missing grandson has been found?"

Bai Zhenbang frowned, his tone filled with disbelief, and his face instantly turned so dark it seemed to drip water.

Bai Yinghao had put it all out there, how could he not understand?

Anger surged within him instantly, because the attack on Xiao Guodong and Cheng Ying back then was orchestrated by the Bai family.

Of course, the Bai family didn't dare to take action themselves.

Although the country was not as powerful as it is now, it was rising rapidly. Although these martial arts families and sects could still operate outside the rules to some extent, smart people knew to leave room for maneuver. If they went too far, they would definitely be purged in the future.

So the Bai family took a roundabout approach, hiring a group of desperate thugs to carry out their plan. Their goal was clear: to eliminate Xiao Guodong and his wife, as well as their son Xiao Chen, and at the very least, to kill Xiao Chen.

Ultimately, this matter stems from the Bai family's resentment towards the Cheng and Xiao families.

Back then, Bai Zhenbang's son-in-law Luo Anhao and daughter Bai Xueji were attacked. Although there was no conclusive evidence pointing to the Cheng family, all the clues seemed to be pointing towards the Cheng and Xiao families.

The attack left Mr. and Mrs. Lo Anhao seriously injured, and their grandson went missing as a result, remaining missing for many years.

With his grandson's fate unknown and whereabouts unclear, how could Bai Zhenbang possibly swallow this insult?

"If you dare to do the first day of the month, I dare to do the fifteenth!" With this thought in mind, the Bai family joined forces with the Luo family and seized the opportunity to target Cheng Xiaotian's son-in-law and daughter. They also did not intend to let go of Xiao Chen, who was still a child.

Unfortunately, although they successfully dealt a heavy blow to Xiao Guodong and his wife, they failed to wipe out the entire family. Instead, their child went missing in the chaos.

For so many years, Bai Zhenbang has been comforting himself with the thought that "they have also tasted the bitterness of separation from their loved ones," but now, Cheng Xiaotian has actually brought them back!

Even though Xiao Chen looked critically injured and on the verge of death, as long as he had a breath left, he was like a thorn stuck in Bai Zhenbang's heart.

If the Bai family has a way to heal such injuries, why doesn't the Cheng family, whose strength is comparable to the Bai family, have one?

"Great, that's really great!"

Bai Zhenbang's withered hands suddenly gripped the rocking chair's armrests tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. With a crisp "crack," the hard wooden armrests were crushed into countless wood chips, scattering all over the floor.

"Ha, what's even more ridiculous is that that little beast actually dared to make a move on my granddaughter? He's simply courting death!"

A chilling tone emanated from Bai Zhenbang's mouth, and a powerful aura of the Celestial Realm suddenly erupted, sweeping out like an invisible giant wave.

Bai Yinghao, who was standing to the side, was instantly enveloped by this oppressive aura. His blood surged, his back was instantly soaked with cold sweat, and his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Fortunately, this terrifying aura was fleeting. By the time he recovered, Bai Zhenbang had regained his composure, but deep within his aged eyes, the killing intent surged like a tangible force.

"Do you know who that young man in the video is who could fight Cheng Laogui to a standstill?"

Bai Zhenbang's gaze returned to the phone screen. He tapped the paused image, which showed the moment when Luo Lingtian and Cheng Xiaotian confronted each other, their auras clashing and their strength evenly matched.

"My son has found some general information, but we're not sure about his exact identity yet," Bai Yinghao quickly composed himself and replied respectfully.

"Oh? Tell me about it." A hint of doubt flashed in Bai Zhenbang's eyes as he looked at his son.

"That's right. As I mentioned before, it was Qin Qingcheng from the Qin family who noticed Xiao Chen's improper intentions towards Xi Xi."

Bai Yinghao organized his thoughts and slowly said, "Later, Qin Qingcheng stepped forward and found these five young men to protect Xixi."

However, all five of them were disguised, so we couldn't directly confirm their identities, but based on the clues, we could roughly narrow down the area.

He paused, and seeing that Bai Zhenbang was listening attentively, he continued, "The investigation shows that Xiao Chen, that little beast, had only recently returned to China from abroad and went straight to Shanghai as soon as he landed."

If he has enemies in the country, it's highly likely that the feud was formed in Shanghai.

Coincidentally, there were indeed several promising young talents in Haishi who didn't get along with him.

"A promising young talent?" Bai Zhenbang raised an eyebrow, showing some interest.

Recalling the skills of those young people in the video, their moves were sharp and their demeanor composed; their strength was indeed not to be underestimated. "How old are they?"

"They are Ye Fan, the former captain of the Dragon Group team; Mo Yu of the Southern Mo family; Zhao Hao of the Zhao family in the capital; and... that pillar of the nation who lives in Haishi!"

Bai Yinghao introduced each person's identity one by one. When he got to the last one, his tone became more solemn and showed a hint of respect.

"Moreover, they are all quite young. The youngest is Luo Yuntian, the younger brother of the pillar of the nation, who is only 23 years old; the oldest, Ye Fan, is only 27 years old."

"What's even more remarkable is that their cultivation levels are all quite impressive. Among them, Zhao Hao and Luo Yuntian, who have the lowest cultivation levels, have also reached the early stage of the Innate Realm."

However, Luo Yuntian's cultivation method was extremely strange, with no discernible specific path, and his aura was completely different from that of ordinary martial arts cultivators.

"What kind of martial arts techniques are those? That's not martial arts at all, it's Chinese martial arts."

Bai Zhenbang smiled faintly, his gaze falling on Luo Lingtian on the screen, a rare look of appreciation appearing in his eyes. "The country has long since popularized the national martial arts training method in the army, and many members of our Bai family are serving in the military, so I am naturally aware of this."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Cheng Xiaotian's figure, and a deep disdain curled at the corner of his mouth: "I guess Old Ghost Cheng didn't even realize that this is traditional Chinese martial arts. He probably thought that this kid was practicing some kind of unorthodox body-refining technique."

After a cold laugh, Bai Zhenbang's tone was full of contempt for Cheng Xiaotian.

Since learning about this method of martial arts training, he has devoted himself to studying it and is well aware of its exquisite nature and unique training methods.

Its resource requirements are far lower than those of martial arts techniques, making it extremely cost-effective.

Therefore, he had long ago obtained a complete martial arts training method through the Luo family's connections, preparing to have the family's disciples switch to martial arts.

However, the information he received was that the Cheng family looked down on martial arts at all, especially Cheng Xiaotian, who scoffed at it and disdained it after learning that the upper limit of martial arts was only comparable to the Innate Realm.

"With the spiritual energy of heaven and earth becoming increasingly scarce, will it be possible for any more Celestial Realm experts to be born in this world in the future?"

Bai Zhenbang's tone was somewhat sarcastic, "He and I entered the Celestial Realm at about the same time, but in the past five or six years, our cultivation has progressed very little, it's no different from standing still."

Perhaps in a few years, those at the Innate Realm will become the world's top fighting force.

"And Chinese martial arts can stably reach this level without consuming massive amounts of resources."

Bai Zhenbang paused, his tone becoming increasingly disdainful, "Do you really think the Cheng family can have rare and precious materials for their direct descendants to squander forever?"

Right now, which martial arts family or sect isn't meticulously scrutinizing resources? Not to mention that spiritual energy will become increasingly scarce, and resources will only become more and more limited!

"Traditional Chinese martial arts? Dad, you said that traditional Chinese martial arts can only be cultivated to a level comparable to the Innate Realm? But this young man..."

Bai Yinghao had never heard of Chinese martial arts before, but what surprised him even more was that the young man in the video who could fight Cheng Xiaotian to a standstill seemed to be practicing Chinese martial arts.

Do you know who created the traditional Chinese martial arts training method?

Bai Zhenbang naturally knew the doubts in his son's mind, but instead of answering directly, he asked a question in return.

"Uh, Dad, I only just learned about the Chinese martial arts training methods, how could I possibly know who created them?"

Bai Yinghao looked at his father speechlessly.

"Too,"

Bai Zhenbang laughed heartily, completely unconcerned about his son's teasing, and said, "It's that pillar of the nation who lives in Haishi."

"So it was him?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yinghao nodded. If it was him, then it was not surprising.
