Battle Through the Heavens: The Young Master of the Heavenly Serpent, intercepts Yao Lao at the star

Inside the Yuelai Inn, a deathly silence reigned.

The overwhelming pressure of Green Barbarian's Dou Huang aura was like an invisible mountain, making the entire inn tremble and sway.

Everyone, including Xiao Zhan, regardless of their cultivation level, knelt down on both knees, their muscles tense, their clothes soaked with cold sweat, and even breathing became extremely difficult.

Amidst this suffocating pressure, only one corner offered a faint glimmer of peace.

Unnoticed by anyone, a dark figure silently emerged from the shadows of the innermost beams and pillars of the inn.

Ling Ying stood tall and straight, his aura so restrained it seemed to blend into the air. He turned slightly to the side, his solid back firmly blocking Xiao Xun'er's path.

The girl was protected behind him, her small body trembling slightly, but she was not affected by the terrifying pressure in the slightest.

Ling Ying looked down at Xiao Xun'er, who was nervously clutching her skirt, a hint of seriousness flashing in her eyes, her brows furrowing tightly.

When did this person appear in the Gama Empire? I've never heard of him before!

Just then, Bai Chuxiao gently raised his hand.

This seemingly casual action caused the terrifying pressure that had enveloped the entire inn to recede instantly like a receding tide.

With the pressure suddenly reduced, everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily, their faces filled with relief at surviving a disaster.

Xiao Zhan struggled to his feet, supporting himself on his knees. His face was deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with awe as he looked at Lü Man. At the same time, he felt extremely troubled by the current situation.

He could tell that the white-robed youth's background was far beyond the scope of Wutan City, and he was definitely not someone they could easily provoke.

Green Barbarian stood with his hands at his sides again, resuming his aloof and respectful demeanor. His aura was concealed, and there was no longer any trace of the pressure of a Dou Huang.

Bai Chuxiao then slowly walked up to Xiao Yan.

At this moment, Xiao Yan was slumped on the ground, covered in blood. His black outfit was soaked in blood, and the once spirited young man was now in a sorry state.

He raised his head and looked at the white-clad youth in front of him, his eyes filled with shock, resentment, and humiliation.

Bai Chuxiao looked down at him, his tone carrying a heavy, lecturing tone: "Xiao Yan, you are blindly arrogant and disdainful of others. You are hailed as the number one genius in Wutan City, and you are complacent with your talent, acting arrogantly and domineeringly."

"How can you stand in this world if you still break your promise?"

Bai Chuxiao's voice rang out, and in the otherwise silent inn, everyone could hear it. Every word was like a needle, precisely piercing Xiao Yan's heart.

He trembled violently, his cheeks flushed red, a mixture of shame and fear.

Battle Emperor!

He was one of the top experts in the entire Gama Empire, a legendary figure. Yet, this person was completely obedient to Bai Chuxiao, and with just a wave of his hand, he withdrew his terrifying pressure.

What does this mean?

This means that Bai Chuxiao's background is terrifying beyond his imagination! He's someone even the imperial family has to be wary of!

If he remains stubborn and refuses to hand over the ring, he will not only lose his mother's keepsake, but also bring utter destruction to the entire Xiao family!

With the Jia Lie family and the Ao Ba family eyeing them covetously, if such terrifying forces are attracted, the Xiao family's century-old foundation will surely be destroyed in an instant!

Upon thinking of this, Xiao Yan felt a chill run through his body, and his last bit of stubbornness and pride completely collapsed.

He slowly raised his hand, trembling as he unfastened the antique black ring from his finger.

This ring, as black as charcoal and with an ancient pattern, is the only keepsake her mother left her, and also her most precious memory.

At this moment, however, he had no choice but to hand it over.

Xiao Yan held the ring in both hands and slowly presented it to Bai Chuxiao. His voice was hoarse, like sandpaper being rubbed, filled with endless sincerity and awe: "I was wrong... Young Master is right to teach me a lesson. Xiao Yan is willing to accept defeat."

He lowered his head, not daring to look Bai Chuxiao in the eye again.

Bai Chuxiao took the ring but did not continue to mock him.

With a casual flick of his wrist, he retrieved the jade bottle containing five Qi-gathering powders from the table.

All those covetous eyes that had been eyeing the jade bottle, and those who had planned to snatch it, vanished in an instant! With the aura of a Dou Huang unleashed, who would dare to act presumptuously in front of Bai Chu Xiao?

Xiao Yan took a deep breath and struggled to stand up from the ground.

He straightened his disheveled clothes, bowed deeply to Bai Chuxiao, his posture extremely humble, and his tone incredibly sincere: "Thank you for your mercy, young master, and thank you for enlightening me. Today's events will be etched in my memory."

He raised his head, his eyes now devoid of their former arrogance, filled only with awe and sincerity: "Young Master is absolutely right. There are always people more capable than you, and there is always something beyond your understanding. In the past, Xiao Yan acted arrogantly and conceitedly, but after this battle, I have been completely awakened. From now on, Xiao Yan will restrain his nature, be humble, and devote himself to cultivation, never failing to live up to Young Master's teachings."

Upon hearing this, Bai Chuxiao slowly nodded. Xiao Yan was not as hopeless as he appeared on the surface. He only needed a profound blow to awaken the humility, politeness, and perseverance that belonged to the Flame Emperor in his bones.

Before Xiao Yan could react, Bai Chuxiao waved his sleeve and said, "Take care of yourself. Your talent is indeed good, but if you keep indulging in the title of the so-called number one genius of Wutan City, you will never be able to leave this remote border town for the rest of your life."

"Your future achievements will be only slightly better than those of your fathers, the great masters, or perhaps even on par. Goodbye."

After speaking, Bai Chuxiao slowly walked towards the door amidst the awe and fear of the crowd in the inn.

Especially when you see Green Barbarian, a Dou Huang powerhouse, following closely beside Bai Chuxiao without saying a word, deliberately lagging behind by half a step, it's obvious to anyone with eyes that this Dou Huang powerhouse is clearly serving that white-robed young master!

"I really don't know just how terrifying the power behind this young master is. He can even treat a legendary Dou Huang as a servant. In this small territory of the Jia Ma Empire, what is there that he can't do?"

Ya Fei's hand, holding the teacup, froze in mid-air. Her beautiful eyes shone with wonder, and her gaze toward Bai Chu Xiao grew increasingly ardent and awe-inspiring.

The Mittel Auction House is best at cultivating relationships with powerful forces. This young master Bai can casually produce five Qi Gathering Pills, and he is accompanied by a Dou Huang expert.

It is evident that the strength behind her is unfathomable. If she could befriend her, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous opportunity for her. Perhaps she could use this opportunity to break free from the control of her family and take charge of her own life!

Xiao Yan maintained his bowing posture, and as he watched Bai Chuxiao about to leave, he felt a pang of unease.

Not only did he fail to obtain the Qi-Gathering Powder, but he was also unexpectedly punished and lost his mother's heirloom. No matter how he thought about it, he felt he had lost out!

But considering that the young master's attitude towards him wasn't bad, and his words were mostly lecturing, it was clear that he thought he wasn't hopeless and had potential, and hoped that he would be ambitious.

With this in mind, Xiao Yan decided to use Bai Chuxiao's name to make the Xiao family recoup some of their losses...
