Chapter 682
Can’t Let Her Live (5)

At this moment atop of back mountain to the Zhong Manor, Bai Yan was just in the middle of meditating to absorb in the surrounding energy.

Hmm, where did Xiachen go?
Opening her eyes, she was a tad surprised to find her son missing from the area and with no sign of his whereabouts.
As a mother, Bai Yan’s naturally worried and was quick on the uptake to look for the boy, especially in his current fox form when he’s at his weakest. Just that when she did so, a fierce killing intent had caught her attention from behind and caused that moving leg to stop.

Die!
Towards the unmoving image of his target there, Uncle Mu’s confidence promptly swelled and reinforces his will to attack.
However, its unsure if its just coincidence or intentionally, but at the last moment when the strike’s about to land, the woman’s footstep had swung around to one side and allowed that body to escape the hit.


Though slightly startled at having missed there, the senior didn’t back down and wanted to press on with his efforts. That was until he felt that unfluctuating gaze coming right back at himself.

Did you lure away the two guardians my two shifus assigned to me?
Bai Yan asks with a mild tone.
 

That’s right,
Senior Mu answers with a deep wrinkle on his temple.
I did lure them away, but don’t worry, they’re very safe because my target is only you.

He has a very high standard when doing things. Unless they’re part of his list, he won’t touch anyone else uninvolved.

Then where’s my fox?
Bai Yan continues to ask.

What fox? I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Now Senior Mu’s frown had become very deep as was his patience over the incessant questioning.
Bai Yan on the other hand showed a look of relief after confirming her son’s safety. It looks like Xiachen only went out on his own to play and not because he’s been kidnapped by someone else.

Speaking about it, I should be thanking you.
Smirking openly now, Bai Yan’s gaze was full of laughter like a cat playing with a toy.

What?
the old man seems shocked, unsure of what to make of the other side’s meaning.



I’m thanking you for removing everyone away that could be a hindrance, this way I can act without worry!
Now that smile on her face didn’t seem so friendly anymore, its downright dangerous and threatening as she firmly strode towards the assassin.
Meanwhile at the same time, her true strength as a Monarch Ranked cultivator was in full bloom, leveling the ground with her pressuring aura and turning the sky grey.

You’re… a Monarch Rank?!
Utterly shocked by this quick turn of events, Senior Mu could feel his heart pounding.
Though the Misty Fairy House was considered to be one of the three major powers of this world, they are still within the realms of reason. As such, any Monarch Rank would be considered a powerhouse here regardless of their nature and would most certainly warrant an invite from the acting chief to join the elder council.
Run!
Pumping with adrenaline, that’s the first thought that came to this old timer’s mind as he made a hard dash for the mountains.

You know too many things already so don’t even think about leaving!
The voice was like the devil’s, drifting into Senior Mu’s ear and reinforcing the fear inside his heart.

But…. if you tell me who ordered you to come kill me then I might just leave your body intact afterwards.

For those who want her life, Bai Yan has never been one to hold back.

I would never tell you!
the elder viciously yells back the reply while still fleeing for his life.



Is that so?
Not minding this at all, Bai Yan’s hand casually raises up to take aim at her target. Next second a burst of flame ignites out of the blue and enshrouds the elder’s body, causing immense pain in the process.
