Xuantian Pavilion.
Many ancient martial arts experts had surrounded the place.
Three layers within, three layers without, it was an impenetrable blockade, not even a mosquito could get out.
They were all sent by Gu Chengkong.
Ever since Bai Zihe missed his appointment on the first day.
Every day, people went to Xuantian Pavilion and War God Camp to yell abuse.
"Yue Rushuang!"
"Hurry up and hand over your junior brother!"
"If he doesn't come out for a day, we won't leave for a day!"
The one yelling was the new head of the Zhou family, named Zhou Dingyuan, the younger brother of Zhou Dingtian.
Before this.
Bai Zihe had been displaying his might at the Zhou family, truly overshadowing everyone.
Even Zhou Dingtian, the Zhou family head, had his four limbs severed by Bai Zihe, and Zhou Batian, the Zhou family ancestor, was killed on the spot by Bai Zihe, his body exploding.
Zhou Dingyuan's hatred for Bai Zihe ran deep to his bones.
Now that he had appeased the great Buddha Gu Chengkong, he wanted to kill Bai Zihe first to avenge this deep hatred.
"Wasn't Bai Zihe very arrogant?"
"Why is he acting like a coward? If you have the guts, come out and be arrogant again!"
"I'll give you three more days."
Speaking of this, Zhou Dingyuan's killing intent was surging: "Within three days, if Bai Zihe still doesn't show himself, we will destroy Xuantian Pavilion and slaughter War God Camp!"
"Who will destroy Xuantian Pavilion?"
"Who will slaughter War God Camp?"
Just then, a cold, ethereal voice echoed through the entire scene.
As the voice faded, a chilling aura also abruptly spread across the area, causing people to shiver uncontrollably.
Everyone then looked.
In the distance, a white figure strode through the wind, his robes fluttering, it was Bai Zihe.
"Swish!"
The next moment, Bai Zihe appeared before Zhou Dingtian, his eyes narrowed, shooting out streaks of cold light: "Were those two sentences just now said by you?"
Zhou Dingyuan's soul almost fled his body.
Although he had been shouting fiercely just now, it was actually only by relying on Gu Chengkong's might.
"Bai Zihe!"
Zhou Dingyuan said with a fierce but inwardly weak tone, "Since you accepted President Gu's challenge, why didn't you arrive on time?"
"Slap!"
Before he could finish speaking, Bai Zihe slapped him flying with a resounding smack.
"My actions are not for you to dictate."
Bai Zihe's voice was as cold as ice, making people feel a bone-chilling cold: "As for you, surrounding Xuantian Pavilion and harassing War God Camp..."
"Boom—"
Bai Zihe unleashed a palm strike, and all the experts present were sent flying.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft..."
"Pfft—"
One by one, they spat blood into the air, and upon landing, they were horrified to discover that all of them had their martial arts crippled by Bai Zihe's single palm strike.
"Go back and tell Gu Chengkong that Bai Zihe has returned."
"Tell him to wash his neck and wait for me to chop it off!"
"Scram—"
Zhou Dingyuan was both shocked and furious, but he lacked the strength to confront Bai Zihe. He could only lead his battered remnants and retreat in disgrace to report.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Chengkong immediately went to a secluded place within the Ancient Martial Arts Association.
"Brother Evil King, Bai Zihe has returned."
Hearing Gu Chengkong's voice, a person walked out from within, it was the Miao Jiang Evil King.
"Oh?"
The Evil King's eyes narrowed, and sharp glints flickered continuously through the slits: "He has finally returned."
"This time..."
"We must not let him escape again!"
A chilling smile spread across the Evil King's face, making him look terrifying.
As he spoke, he took out a crystal jar.
The crystal jar was originally made of excellent material, crystal clear and exceptionally pure, but it was now filled with a blood-red color, looking extremely bizarre.
And inside the jar, a strangely shaped蛊 worm was wriggling.
At times it seemed to look up at the sun, roaring like a dragon and a tiger.
At times it seemed to lower its head and whimper, as if the heavens and earth were singing in unison.
It was not large, but the power it exuded with every move shook the hearts and minds of those present.
"This is..."
Gu Chengkong was also shocked.
This tiny蛊 worm actually gave him a feeling of palpitations.
He had to know that he was currently a Grandmaster-level expert, yet he was still intimidated by the aura of a mere蛊 worm. If this were to get out, no one would dare to believe it!
"It's called the 'Qitian Gu', I found it by chance in an ancient ruin."
The Evil King, having almost been killed by Bai Zihe last time, had been searching for a way to defeat Bai Zihe.
His efforts were not in vain, and he had indeed found one.
