[You dare take my people? It’s on now!] Chen Changan was in a foul mood.
Ling’er was worried about Hong Yi and Foxy.
Bai Yue said, “Senior, sister Hong Yi and Foxy are unhurt in the Heavenly Fox Clan. Grandmother hasn’t touched them.”
The Immortal mist drifting around his entire figure made it impossible to gauge his reaction. It only worked to unsettle Bai Yue.
Hong Yi said that Chen Changan was beyond strong, though she didn’t give a clear picture. Bai Yue thus disregarded her words, thinking Chen Changan could be at Spirit Severing Stage at best, something the Heavenly Fox Clan had as well.
It was why Grandmother had no qualms in earning Chen Changan’s ire by taking Foxy from him.
Having met him in person, Bai Yue’s thinking changed. [Senior is an endless mystery, a mystery that instills fear. It’s a fear that not even my Spirit Severing Grandmother could give. Is Senior stronger than her?]
Bai Yue’s biggest worry was whether Chen Changan would be outraged by Grandmother seizing Foxy to the point he’d destroy the entire Heavenly Fox Clan. It was the last thing she wanted, yet she found no reasonable explanation on how to dissuade the impending danger.
Bai Yue felt Chen Changan’s intense stare, and while she had a straight face, her heart was freezing up.
“Bai Yue, go back to your clan and tell them to release Hong Yi and Foxy in three days, or I will destroy your entire clan. We’ll just see if the Heavenly Fox Clan can suffer my wrath.”
Chen Changan had a casual tone, yet his words were icy and chilling as he gave a dreadful threat.
The whole world dimmed at his stance.
Bai Yue winced, horror gripping her very soul. [This is Senior’s power! Just his anger can warp the world around him! The moment he strikes, there’ll be no survivors!]
She replied in earnest, “I will go and give my all in convincing Grandmother to release sister Hong Yi and Foxy.”
She never wanted to get on Chen Changan’s bad side in her life. The terror was palpable, despite not even being his target.
Chen Changan knew she was innocent in this. He released the pressure and the world was calm once more, like the dread never came in the first place.
He said, “Three days. If I don’t see Hong Yi and Foxy within this time, I’ll darken your door. Or have the Heavenly Fox Clan come to Soaring Immortal Mountain for a chat.”
“I will relay Senior’s words to Grandmother. I ask that Senior wait. Grandmother will surely release sister Hong Yi and Foxy.” Bai Yue bowed in respect.
“You can go.”
Bai Yue rushed off.
Chen Changan eased his breath. [Now to see if the threat worked. Will I have to go to the Heavenly Fox Clan if they fail to answer my demand? That’s like going to my own funeral! Okay. Don’t think about it. It’ll all turn out fine in the end. In case the Heavenly Fox Clan doesn’t cooperate, I can only wait for my Absolute Domain to extend over them before settling things straight.]
Chen Changan felt helpless; nothing he thought of could help him here.
He released the Immortal Solution.
Ling Bao’er gushed, “Master, the Heavenly Fox Clan has crossed the line. Why even give them three days for? The way I see it, bashing our way in and demanding our friends is the way to go!”
Chen Changan rolled his eyes. [Gee, what do you think? I would if I could!]
He kept a straight face, the picture of sagacity, as he lied through his teeth. “Bao’er, I have my reasons. Now go cultivate.”
Ling Bao’er ate two Blood Pills and cultivated in the Immortal Land to the 7th layer of the Golden Core already. Nascent Soul was just around the corner.
Then she could have some decent defensive power. It was what Chen Changan worried about the most.
[I’m invincible in the Absolute Domain, so this can be our playground. But by stepping out of this place, my hands would be tied. It makes me feel like a declawed tiger…]
Chen Changan felt sour. [This is Absolute Domain’s weakness. The sooner I expand it, the better.]
He racked his brains, thinking about the best way to handle the whole affair with the Heavenly Fox Clan.
As a last resort, he could wait for the Absolute Domain to cover the Heavenly Fox Clan first before saving Hong Yi and Foxy.
Before that, he was searching for a way to bait them into releasing the two instead.
[To do that, I need them to fear me. Make them think crossing me would be the last thing on their mind. I got through Bai Yue, shaken on the inside, but she wasn’t her entire clan. They have to enter my Absolute Domain to feel it too.]
Chen Changan returned to his chair, deep in thought. His eyes trailed over Ling Bao’er practicing her sword skills. Sword waves flashed as she danced.
The whole affair with Hong Yi and Foxy must have spurred her on to work harder.
[She isn’t Nine Swords Sect Leader’s daughter for nothing, so young and yet so skilled in the sword. Paired with the Sacred Immortal Sword, her strength multiplied.]
“The sword fits Bao’er best.” Chen Changan lit up, an idea flashing in his mind.
“Of course! Having an Immortal descend is sure to stir a huge storm through the Nine Province Continent. So when they come to take the sword back, the Heavenly Fox Clan will catch wind of it too. And they will be sure to peek over.” Chen Changan squinted.
The cultivators of the Nine Province Continent—Monster, Demons, Spirits included—dreaded the overpowering Immortals.
[Say an Immortal dies on Soaring Immortal Mountain, then the Heavenly Fox Clan will know my might. They’ll be wetting themselves in fear and I won’t even have to knock on their doors to have them release Hong Yi and Foxy. What a perfect plan, using others as an example!]
He was sure once the Immortal died the Heavenly Fox Clan would play ball.
