Chapter 343: Chapter 341: If You Can’t Accept It, Then Die! [Additional Chapter for Alliance Hierarch Yuluo]
"Is she mute?" Li Chen asked coldly while pointing at the girl, addressing Bai Wutian.
Bai Wutian shook his head and replied, "No!"
"Since she’s not, then you better shut up!"
Li Chen’s words carried a chilling murderous intent, sending shivers down Bai Wutian’s spine.
He wanted to erupt in anger, but the sight of Wui Batian’s lifeless severed head reminded him to suppress his rage and continuously offer his apologies with deep bows.
Li Chen couldn’t be bothered to quibble with him and turned to ask the girl the same question again.
"What’s your name, and how old are you this year?"
The girl, trembling with fear, replied, "My name is Bai Yaoyao, I am sixteen years old today!"
After she answered, not hearing Li Chen speak again, she mustered the courage to take a glance at him.
The man before her only seemed to be two to three years older than herself. His face was handsome like jade, more attractive than any young man in the village.
But most importantly, even the fiercest and most terrifying grandfathers and uncles acted like meek sheep in his presence, not daring to breathe heavily.
If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she would never believe that such a perfect man could exist in this world.
As she thought about it, her heart began to pound wildly like a startled deer, and her delicately-chiselled cheeks flushed uncontrollably.
Li Chen gave her a faint smile and then turned his gaze towards Bai Wutian.
"Family Master Bai, you are already advanced in age and your health seems to be declining. You should be enjoying family bliss and living your twilight years in peace!"
Hearing Li Chen suddenly express concern for his health, Bai Wutian was completely baffled and couldn’t grasp what medicine Li Chen was truly peddling.
He clasped his hands together in a fist and said unclearly, "Immortal Master Li speaks the truth!"
Li Chen pointed at the girl Bai Yaoyao and said, "She is a fine seedling. I propose she take over the position of the Bai Family Master. You don’t have any objections, do you?"
Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, everyone present felt a surge of shock.
What’s this now? To let a granddaughter from a collateral branch assume the position of the Bai Family Master?
Bai Changshui, Bai Yaoyao’s uncle and the leading candidate for the next Family Master, immediately protested.
"This is a private matter of the Bai Family. Immortal Master Li, aren’t you overstepping your bounds?"
Li Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Do you have a problem with that?"
Bai Changshui’s heart trembled with fear, but the situation was like an arrow on the bowstring that must be released.
He steeled his nerves and boldly stated, "Indeed, I do have a problem with that!"
"Hehe, very good!"
Li Chen said "very good," and then let out a cold sneer from between his teeth, making Bai Changshui shudder uncontrollably.
"Since you have a problem with it, you might as well just die!"
Li Chen uttered these words in a very calm manner. So calm it was as if he was saying everyday pleasantries like "Good morning, have you eaten?"
As the final note of his sentence fell, a cold light flashed at Li Chen’s fingertips.
Before Bai Changshui could react, his throat was pierced by a sharp blade, blood spurting from the back of his neck like an arrow, staining the wall red.
Seeing Li Chen kill a man as soon as there was disagreement, everyone present felt a chill in their bones.
Li Chen clapped his hands and asked with a smile, "Does anyone else have any objections?"
In his presence, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to meet his gaze.
One should know that this lord before them was someone who would easily kill; the slightest carelessness could result in a new bloody hole in one’s neck.
Although Bai Wutian was in deep pain, at this moment he dared not utter a single word of protest.
For should he truly enrage this devil who kills without batting an eye, it’s likely that the entire population of Bai Family Village, numbering in the thousands, would be slaughtered to the last.
"Immortal Master Li, we agree to let Yaoyao assume the position of Family Head!"
Having said that, Bai Wutian cleared his throat, turned to his clanspeople, and shouted: "I announce that, effective immediately, Bai Yaoyao will become the new Family Head of our Bai Family, as well as the Chief of Bai Family Village!"
Upon hearing this news, the young girl Bai Yaoyao stood frozen, as if struck by lightning.
Though she was the granddaughter of the Family Head, she was from a collateral line, the kind neither doted on by grandmothers nor loved by uncles. There were exactly sixty-three like her throughout Bai Family Village.
Her fate awaited her, just like her similarly born sisters, to be used as a tool for family alliances, married off to a man she had never met before, destined to live a life under others’ roofs.
But now, due to a whim, this man before her spoke casually, and she had become the master of the entire Bai Family Village. Even experiencing it firsthand, Bai Yaoyao still could not believe that all of this was real.
The girl instinctively wanted to decline, but when she saw Li Chen’s clear and deep eyes, she swallowed the words that had reached her lips. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Li Chen gave her a slight smile, pointing to the four chests of gold, silver, and jewels on the ground, and said, "I can’t take these things with me, so I’ll leave them as a congratulatory gift for you!"
Bai Yaoyao had never encountered such a situation before, and coupled with her inherently timid and restrained nature, she didn’t know how to respond for a moment.
She turned her pleading gaze towards her grandfather, Bai Wutian.
Bai Wutian sneakily glanced at Li Chen’s expression, and seeing that he showed no anger, he plucked up the courage to remind her: "Yaoyao, aren’t you going to thank Immortal Master Li quickly!"
At her grandfather’s reminder, Bai Yaoyao came back to her senses and rushed to give Li Chen a deep bow: "Thank you, Immortal Master Li!"
"No need to thank me; mountains high, paths far, we shall meet again in the future!"
After uttering these brief words, Li Chen elegantly turned around and walked down the mountain.
Bai Wutian was the first to bow with hands clasped: "We respectfully send off Immortal Master Li!"
The others followed suit, bowing towards the retreating figure of Li Chen: "We respectfully send off Immortal Master Li!"
Only after Li Chen’s figure had completely disappeared from sight did Bai Wutian and the others dare to raise their heads.
They all instinctively wiped the cold sweat on their foreheads—although it was already late autumn, virtually everyone was drenched in sweat as if they had just woken from a nightmare.
Yet, the two bloody corpses on the ground, and the four shocking heads, told them clearly that this was no nightmare, but reality.
In fact, this day was not only a nightmare for Bai Family Village but also for the entire Miao Territory.
Almost simultaneously, Witch God Sect and Heavenly Demon Sect encountered ambushes by unidentified enemies, suffering heavy casualties.
Ke Family, Jing Family, Tud Family, Mon Family, each faced different ambushes by their foes, all incurring significant losses. Particularly for the Jing Family, their sole Grandmaster died on the spot.
But the Jing Family was not the worst off.
The worst was the Wu Family; not long after Wu Batian was slain by Li Chen, the Wu Family stronghold was attacked by Long Wuhen, Chen Buyi, and others. If not for the timely rescue by Yin Ghost Sect, this so-called number one aristocratic family of Miao Territory would have been erased from the map.
In this battle, nearly half of the Grandmasters of the Anti-Li Alliance perished or were wounded. Yin Ghost Sect suffered great losses, and the Grandmaster-less Jing Family was beaten back to its original form, becoming a third-rate power, while the Wu Family was in name only.
This battle had Bai Family bowing their heads, giving up their ancestral treasures, and the Family Head deposed by Immortal Master Li. A fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl became the new Family Head, turning the entire Bai Family into puppets of Immortal Master Li.
In this battle, Immortal Master Li deployed dozens of Grandmasters, shaking Huaxia. The once-mighty Anti-Li Alliance crumbled in an instant, causing widespread fear and trepidation throughout the entire Miao Territory.
This battle caused Miao Territory to tremble and the nation to be shocked; no one did not know the name of Immortal Master Li!
