"Your Eminence!"
Tang Qianqiu, being a seasoned veteran, immediately understood his intentions and said, "Although Bai Zihe is young, his strength is extraordinary."
"Based on my experience fighting him, this young man should have reached the level of a High-tier Grandmaster!"
High-tier Grandmaster!
Upon hearing these words, both Tang Beiye and Tang Fengyu's pupils contracted sharply.
They had been knocked unconscious after Bai Zihe crippled them, so they hadn't witnessed the battle and were only now learning of Bai Zihe's true power.
"High-tier Grandmaster..."
Tang Fei scoffed upon hearing this, "Even if he is a High-tier Grandmaster, his fate this time is only death, with no other path!"
The killing intent contained in his words shocked all three of them, grandfather and grandsons.
Seeing their reactions, Tang Fei chuckled lightly, "A High-tier Grandmaster is an invincible existence on the surface."
"But compared to ancient martial arts families with generations of inheritance..."
"They are like frogs in a well, not worth mentioning."
"Not to mention, the exquisite and complex moves..."
As he spoke.
Tang Fei suddenly unleashed a palm strike towards a pavilion ten zhang away.
It appeared unpretentious, but the moment his palm shot out, it transformed infinitely, his aura surging like the tide of a vast ocean, ceaseless.
"Boom!"
The next moment, the pavilion exploded, turning into dust and vanishing into the heavens and earth as if it had never existed.
Yet, around the pavilion, there was not the slightest trace of damage.
This control over internal energy alone far surpassed that of ordinary Grandmasters, making Tang Qianqiu feel ashamed.
"This palm of mine..."
Tang Fei looked at the three of them proudly, "With twenty years of cultivation, can Bai Zihe withstand it?"
At the Wang Xian Lou Hotel.
Bai Zihe and Yao Ke'er returned here after receiving the keys.
Bai Zihe entered first.
After Yao Ke'er followed him in, she immediately shut the door and grabbed Bai Zihe's ear, "Little junior brother, tell me honestly, how much strength have you been hiding?"
"Do you know how worried we were about you? You actually, actually..."
Her words were full of worry and dissatisfaction.
"It hurts, it hurts..."
Although Bai Zihe was powerful, his ears were indeed a weak spot. Once his senior sister grabbed them, he couldn't escape.
He said somewhat helplessly, "Seventh Senior Sister... Didn't you also hide your identity?"
"And acted as my little follower for over a day..."
Yao Ke'er's anger flared up immediately.
"You... you dare to talk back, do you?"
As she spoke, Yao Ke'er increased the force of her grip slightly and twisted it.
What could Bai Zihe do? He could only yield, "No, no... I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare! How could I dare to talk back to you..."
"Hmph."
Yao Ke'er released his ear but then pinched his waist.
Bai Zihe was completely at her mercy, utterly unable to retaliate.
Moreover, it was strange, after being held by Seventh Senior Sister like this, Bai Zihe's entire internal energy seemed to dissipate...
"I won't dare anymore..."
Bai Zihe said pitifully, "I'll never dare again!"
"Seventh Senior Sister, please let me go..."
Seeing his pathetic state, Yao Ke'er snorted again, then let go with satisfaction.
After they bickered for a while.
Yao Ke'er turned serious and said, "Little junior brother, since you've gotten the key, you should go back as soon as possible."
"The capital..."
"Is indeed a deep water, and you have offended the Tang family, it's too dangerous."
Yao Ke'er's tone was extremely serious.
Bai Zihe listened calmly.
"The Tang family..."
"Their so-called old patriarch was dealt with by me, what else is there to offend?"
"Could it be..."
Bai Zihe said nonchalantly, "That this Tang family has some ancient turtle who can endure more than Tang Qianqiu?"
"Pfft—"
Yao Ke'er couldn't help but laugh when he said that.
But after laughing, her expression quickly turned solemn, "Little junior brother, you don't know, but there are four great ancient martial arts families in the capital."
"The Tang family is one of them."
"But this Tang family is not the Tang family you know."
Bai Zihe raised his eyebrows.
So, there was indeed a more deeply hidden Tang family.
"Tang Qianqiu and the others..."
Yao Ke'er's face was full of disdain, "Compared to the real Tang family, they are like one in the mud and the other in the sky, not even comparable."
"Since we're talking about it..."
Yao Ke'er decided to explain the situation in the capital.
Bai Zihe also became a little more serious.
The capital...
Indeed, it was not to be underestimated.
Just the people who repelled the Gu Emperor back then were not as simple as he saw them now.
Furthermore, Bai Zihe had also heard about a Dan Tower today.
Which was the force that Seventh Senior Sister belonged to.
It was clearly not ordinary.
"On the surface, the capital is led by the War Department, with the four great families holding sway."
"Among them, the four great families are the Tang, Tong, Dongfang, and Nangong families."
Yao Ke'er listed them off as if reciting a familiar tune, "In reality, each of the four great families has a true ancient martial arts family backing them."
"These ancient martial arts families..."
Yao Ke'er glanced at Bai Zihe, "are not the ancient martial arts families you encountered before, but families that truly possess heaven-defying combat power."
"They have been passed down through generations, and it's been countless years."
"The number of experts and the family foundations accumulated can be imagined."
Bai Zihe remained noncommittal and asked curiously, "Seventh Senior Sister, what kind of force is the Dan Tower that you belong to?"
