Bai Zihe paused briefly, his cold eyes sweeping over Long Qinchuan, waiting to see what he would say.
Long Qinchuan smiled faintly.
"Bai Zihe."
"Rumor has it, you are an unspeakably evil demon who kills anyone you meet."
"But as I see it today..."
"To risk danger and travel a thousand miles to save War God Ji, you are indeed loyal and righteous."
"When you stormed the execution ground, you could have broken through the encirclement, yet you held back your attacks, showing you are not a madman who slaughters indiscriminately."
"It's clear the world misunderstands you, leading to gossip and widespread rumors."
"In light of this..."
"I shall tell you a life-or-death secret."
Seeing his solemn words, Ji Xueyun's expression grew serious, her beautiful eyes fixed on Long Qinchuan's face.
Bai Zihe also became serious.
Long Qinchuan spoke unhurriedly, "Before I arrived."
"The top brass of the War Department had a discussion about how to apprehend you and who should do it."
"They attached great importance to this matter."
Hearing this, Ji Xueyun's eyebrows shot up.
The War Department...
She had merely been a female marshal in the Eastern War Zone.
Although she knew little about the War Department, which stood at the pinnacle of Da Xia's power, she understood what a colossal entity it was.
If they were serious about dealing with her junior brother...
It would be troublesome.
"But none of that is important."
As Long Qinchuan spoke of the next person, his entire face turned incredibly serious: "The most dangerous is the Ying person's divine physician, Okamoto Masao."
"He is a Grandmaster!"
At these words, Ji Xueyun's face paled.
Grandmaster...
With every move, they possessed immense power.
Plucking flowers and throwing leaves, they could kill without a trace, true killing machines.
As the saying goes:
Below Grandmasters, all are ants.
This showed the terrifying might of a Grandmaster.
"What?"
"A Grandmaster!"
A startled cry suddenly came from afar.
It was Zhan Tianlong, Xue Er, and Yue Rushuang, who had come to provide backup. Yue Rushuang had finally managed to break through the acupoint seal after half an hour and rushed over.
She happened to overhear this earth-shattering news.
Long Qinchuan was not surprised by their strong reaction.
He even let out a wry smile, "You all know that after Da Xia's war against the Ten Nations Alliance ten years ago, Grandmaster experts went into seclusion to recover from their injuries."
"The outside world rumored that Da Xia had no Grandmasters."
"In fact, in the past ten years, Da Xia has indeed not produced any new Grandmasters."
"Therefore..."
"Okamoto Masao is an unrivaled existence."
"It is said he has already arrived in the provincial capital of Jiangdong. With him intervening..."
Long Qinchuan did not continue.
The implication was clear.
Yue Rushuang, Ji Xueyun, Zhan Tianlong, and the others all wore grim expressions.
Such a Grandmaster expert would be tasked with apprehending Bai Zihe...
This was undoubtedly catastrophic news.
Long Qinchuan turned to leave, but after a few steps, he suddenly stopped. "Bai Zihe, your martial arts talent is unparalleled in my life."
"Telling you this..."
"Is my hope that Da Xia will have another young prodigy."
"Rather than..."
"One more cold corpse killed by a Ying dog."
With that, Long Qinchuan left without looking back.
Bai Zihe acted as if nothing had happened and turned to go home.
But Ji Xueyun and Yue Rushuang behind him, their faces filled with worry, grabbed his ears.
"Junior Brother, you are becoming more and more disobedient."
"You even dared to seal my acupoints. Have your wings grown strong, that you no longer respect your senior sister?"
Yue Rushuang questioned him indignantly.
"Junior Brother."
"You just heard it. Even Grandmasters are involved in what's to come. Don't get involved anymore, do you hear me?"
Ji Xueyun also reprimanded him with a stern face.
"It hurts, it hurts!"
"Alright, I promise."
Bai Zihe was cornered and had no choice but to agree.
Their expressions eased slightly.
However.
The news of the Ying person's divine physician, Okamoto Masao, appeared, like a mountain blocking their chests.
It was like an all-encompassing haze that refused to dissipate.
By the time they returned to the hotel, dawn had broken.
Bai Zihe went to his room to sleep.
Ji Xueyun and Yue Rushuang, however, sat down with heavy hearts.
"Fifth Junior Sister, what do you think we should do now?"
Although Ji Xueyun had acted composed in front of Bai Zihe, now that he was gone, her worry was almost overflowing.
That was a Martial Grandmaster!
Yue Rushuang also had a grave expression.
After a moment of thought, she sighed, "Perhaps, we have no choice but to seek out that person."
Ji Xueyun was immediately startled and asked, "You mean..."
She knew very well who Yue Rushuang was referring to.
The capital, Ouyang Wushuang!
He was extraordinarily powerful, had been operating in the capital for many years, held a high position, and wielded great authority.
As long as he was willing to intervene, her junior brother would be safe.
However...
Ouyang Wushuang had been pursuing Yue Rushuang for a long time.
Going to him this time might not be a good thing for Yue Rushuang.
Ji Xueyun, having considered this, pressed further, "Fifth Junior Sister, if you go to him, what about yourself?"
"Given his nature, he likely won't let this opportunity slip away easily."
Yue Rushuang gave her a reassuring smile, "Second Senior Sister, don't worry, I can still stall for some time."
Ji Xueyun was not as optimistic, as she saw the forced nature of Yue Rushuang's smile.
She immediately sighed, "Let's hope so."
Outside the door.
Bai Zihe had not returned.
Based on his understanding of his two senior sisters, and having experienced his second senior sister's impulsive actions last time, Bai Zihe knew they would inevitably try to handle the situation behind his back.
Therefore, he chose to linger for a while and, as expected, obtained such important intelligence.
Bai Zihe left silently.
Upon returning to his room, he summoned Xue Er and inquired about that person.
The capital, War Department.
"Is it just a mere Bai Zihe that leaves our mighty War Department helpless?"
Qian Yuanshan sat in the head seat, his cold eyes scanning everyone.
He was furious.
Bai Zihe had first massacred in Su Hang.
Then, he had coerced the female marshal of the Eastern War Zone, Ji Xueyun, and crippled the Jiangdong Provincial Military Governor, Zhao Qingtian.
And now...
He dared to storm the execution ground.
Did he truly believe Da Xia's War Department was incompetent and that he could act with impunity?
This was an insult to him, an insult to their Da Xia War Department!
"Wushuang!"
Qian Yuanshan's gaze fell on Ouyang Wushuang, "You will handle this matter this time. Apprehend Bai Zihe and bring him to justice. There must be no mistakes."
Ouyang Wushuang immediately accepted the order.
The meeting ended.
As Ouyang Wushuang stepped out, someone came to report the situation.
"Lord Wushuang."
"We just received news that Bai Zihe is Miss Yue Rushuang's junior brother."
Upon hearing this, Ouyang Wushuang's lips curved into a smile.
"Shuang'er, my dear..."
"This time, you can't escape, can you!"
