Youzhou.
The back mountain of Tianwu people.
A figure galloped past, the young man's flexible body shuttled through the jungle, his black hair flowing in the wind.
The delicate face has wild eyes, but the black pupils have a strange gray color.
The young man moved swiftly and stood steadily at the end of the tree more than ten meters above the ground.
Under the tree, there was a first-level intermediate monster, the Stinging Pig, which was covered in scars and oozing blood. It was hitting the trunk of the tree crazily.
Its curved fangs were emitting red light, and Ye Bai knew that the monster had entered a violent state.
"call".
The young man exhaled calmly. In order to kill this prickly pig, he had to face a prickly pig whose strength was equivalent to the sixth level of Qi training. He set up a trap and ambushed him twice before he was forced to do it. Put him in a desperate situation and let him struggle to death
When the stabbing pig was exhausted, Ye Bai turned over and jumped down. The aura attached to the blade of the knife stabbed the pig with the owl's head and fell to the ground dead.
He skillfully handled the body, took out part of the pork belly, and went to his mother's grave to worship.
The young man's name is Ye Bai, and he was born in the Tianwu Clan, a demon clan. However, he is a half-demon. This status also makes it difficult to survive in the clan.
The most important thing is that because Ye Bai's father Lu Xiao is the King of Tianwu, his nominal brothers disdain him and torture him.
His mother was a slave who was captured by the demon tribe. Because of her pretty face, she was selected into the tribe and became a maid. An accident made her pregnant with Lu Xiao's child.
When Ye Bai was just born, a thunderbolt fell from the originally clear sky. Fortunately, he did not die, and was found to have excellent talent. But the strange thing is that he only reached the fourth level of Qi after fifteen years of practicing. strength.
Ye Bai could feel that he was absorbing spiritual energy relatively quickly, but half of the spiritual energy he absorbed each time disappeared for no reason.
In the early morning when Ye Bai was twelve years old, his last light also passed away. The funny thing is that he was accidentally killed by Lu Jie, the son of the eldest lady.
When his father Lu Xiao heard the news, he calmly ordered his servants to find a place in the back mountain to burn and bury him.
"Three years have passed in the blink of an eye. Mother, if nothing happens this time, you can go with me." Ye Bai sat in front of his mother's grave and murmured to himself.
After waiting for so many years, I finally have a chance. I think he will be here soon. I hope everything goes well. Ye Bai thought to himself.
Ye Bai looked at the sky and estimated the time. Thinking of such a rare opportunity today, his expression slowly turned cold. At the same time, he was a little excited inside, and even his fingers started to tremble with excitement.
Ye Bai's eyes were like those of a hunter, quietly waiting for his prey to arrive.
While eating roasted pork meat, a harsh sound came as he expected.
"Hey, isn't this the young master of our Tianwu clan? Why are you eating rubbish like spurred pig here that doesn't even provide much energy and blood? I'll help you clean it up."
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old red-haired man wearing green clothes came from a short distance with his servants.
Looking at Ye Bai who was eating barbecue, the slaves on the side rushed up and snatched his spoils at the signal from the young master's eyes.
Ye Bai watched their actions with cold eyes and remained silent.
"You said that if you had been struck to death by lightning when you were just born, I would have lost a lot of fun in my life."
Lu Jie looked at the taciturn Ye Bai beside him, wanting to see his angry and helpless expression.
The servant next to him also mocked him flatteringly: "Master, this kid has attracted thunder from the sky since he was born. If such a damned person can survive, it is because he was born to be trained by the master."
Ye Bai's silence further aroused Lu Jie's arrogance
"No, his reputation has spread throughout the entire Northern Wilderness. He is just a joke and has brought shame to our Tianwu Clan."
"After you finish talking nonsense, you can leave. You are not welcome here."
Ye Bai ignored the two men's ridicule and urged them to leave.
"Do you really think of yourself as a young master? Who are you talking to?"
Lu Jie stepped forward and kicked over his mother's sacrifice, looking at Ye Bai with disdain.
"Trash, understand your status. If you make me unhappy, I will dig up your mother's grave."
After speaking, Lu Jie took out the whip that had beaten Ye Bai for decades from the ring.
Pa~
There was an explosion in the air, and a bloodstain instantly appeared from Ye Bai's back.
Seeing Ye Bai struggling to endure it, Lu Jie got even more excited and whipped him a few times, wreaking havoc crazily.
"You're only good at this. I heard that your fiancée went to see your old sweetheart when she was engaged to you. You seem to be more useless than me." Ye Bai stared at Lu Jie with mocking eyes.
"Don't mention that bitch."
Lu Jie looked at Ye Bai lying on the ground angrily, and immediately stepped forward to torture him.
"It looks like your bones are itchy, you beast. If I don't kill you today, I will..."
"call out."
The knife was slashed, and before Lu Jie could react, his stomach was sliced crosswise. Blood sprayed all over the ground instantly, but his body was not cut in two.
"Ah~"
Lu Jie roared in pain and looked at Ye Bai in shock and anger.
He didn't believe that this bastard at the fourth level of Qi Refining actually dared to kill him, and there was some fear in his eyes. He involuntarily retreated, but his severely injured body made him move slowly.
"You... you trash, how dare you do something to me..."
Ye Bai looked at Lu Jie who was not killed instantly, and secretly cried out that it was a pity.
He deliberately provoked Lu Jie just to let him approach on his own. The moment he relaxed his mind, Ye Bai's murderous intention burst out instantly.
Ignoring Lu Jie's nonsense, he took advantage of his panic and slashed at him again.
Lu Jie hurriedly turned around to avoid it. Although he avoided the fatal blow, it still pierced the sole of his foot.
"Hiss~"
The bone-piercing pain made him take a breath. He knew that Ye Bai was really murderous, and he regretted not taking precautions in time, otherwise he would not have been like this with his sixth level of Qi refining.
"Ye Bai, don't kill me. I was wrong. If your parents know about it, they won't let you go. You let it go..."
Lu Jie begged and retreated, while secretly taking out the Thunder Flame Bullet from Najie.
But Ye Bai couldn't give him a chance. Before he could finish his words, his throat was cut with a knife. Lu Jie stared at him with unblinking eyes.
"I won't let you go now." Ye Bai said slowly, staring at his body.
At this time, the servant next to him was so frightened that he didn't expect Ye Bai to dare to do this. After all, he had never resisted no matter how difficult it was in these years.
He wanted to escape but it was too late. The sword flashed and the slave closed his eyes forever.
This was his first time to kill someone, so he wasn't afraid at all. He might have planned it in advance and was mentally prepared for it.
On the contrary, when I killed the monster for the first time, I was frightened for some time before I recovered. Now it may be more of a feeling of nausea lingering in my heart.
"Ah~"
Ye Bai let out a long roar, and the roar that had suppressed him for decades burst out. He had been waiting for this day for too long.
The roaring sounds startled the birds in the forest to fly up. Ye Bai looked at the wings and couldn't wait to implement the next plan.
Today, King Wu Lu Xiao goes to attend the meeting of the seven kings, and the eldest lady, Lu Jie's mother, also goes to her parents' home.
The remaining bastard will come here every year to insult him when he worships his mother.
Ye Bai also deliberately provoked him and took advantage of Lu Jie's carelessness to seize the opportunity to kill this trash who had bullied his mother and son for more than ten years.
Not only that, he also has to go back to his hometown. This time he must repay them for their special care over the years. Ye Bai thought to himself.
You should know that ordinary people can't enter King Tianwu's room. He is not even a bastard, but he has the qualifications to clean. No one would have thought that a weak person would dare to have any ideas.
Ye Bai cleaned up the corpse and took out Lu Jie's dozens of square meters of storage rings. Ye Bai had been coveting this thing for a long time. After taking inventory, he found that there were many good things in it.
A high-grade magical weapon, the Qingfeng Sword, a first-grade elixir called the Spiritual Recovery Pill, and what surprised him most were the ten high-grade spiritual stones and thousands of low-grade spiritual stones. As for the whip that had beaten him for more than ten years, it had long been reduced to ashes.
You must know that one high-grade spiritual stone is equivalent to ten thousand low-grade spiritual stones. This can be regarded as a small fortune.
After kneeling down to worship his mother, he dug up the grave, took out the urn and put it in. Ye Bai hurried back to his house.
When I came back, I was about to pick up the tools and go to the study, but I didn't expect to meet the housekeeper Lu Jing, who was tall, round, thick-browed, and big-eyed.
"Stop, where are you Ye Bai?"
Ye Bai screamed inwardly that he was unlucky, and then replied with a calm expression: "I just went to the back mountain to worship my mother. Manager Lu."
Lu Jing warned him seriously: "Your mother's worship does not matter. I will be back tomorrow. Be careful of your bones before the room is cleaned."
"Okay, Manager Lu, I'll go clean now."
Ye Bai just breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but Lu Jing stopped him again and asked: "By the way, Master Lu Jie, have you seen it?"
"I saw him in the back mountain. He said hello to me and left." Ye Bai said calmly.
Seeing Ye Bai's calm expression, Lu Jing stroked his long beard and teased: "I'm afraid it's not just a simple hello! Go ahead and clean it up."
"Yes, I will clean it up and make the clan leader satisfied."
Seeing that Ye Bai was more well-behaved, Lu Jing waved his hand, and then he stepped away, picked up his tools and went to the study.
The study room of Tianwu Demon King Lin Xiao is called "Huanyu Bookstore". When you open the door, you will see a mahogany bookshelf with tens of thousands of books in it, exuding the aroma of books all over the room.
There are bookshelves on all sides of the room, and a sandalwood table is placed at the end, with pens, inks, papers and inkstones on it, showing what everyone should see.
Ye Bai rushed to the desk without hesitation. There were also books on the desk that Lu Xiao often read. They were stacked one foot high and quickly lifted all the books away, revealing the tabletop under the books.
There was a magic circle with complex inscriptions on the table. He calmly bit his finger and pinched the magic formula in the center of the magic circle.
Then a magic circle appeared, blood dripped into the array, the array opened the dark box and revealed a jade slip lying there quietly.
"The Ten-Day True Yang Jue."
Ye Bai looked at the jade slip excitedly, and then looked around nervously.
Knowing that Ye Bai discovered this method of opening the secret grid when he was cleaning Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao didn't seem to be afraid of him seeing it. After all, no one dared to steal anything under his nose based on his pride.
Looking at this technique that only the patriarch Lu Xiao could practice, Ye Bai was also excited. He calmed down and immediately prepared to escape.
As soon as I picked up the technique, I discovered that there was something else in the secret room, a blood-red stone.
"I guess it was put there recently by Lu Xiao. Let's take it away first." After some thought, Ye Bai packed up his things and fled quickly, preparing to board the Jueling Boat to Lingzhou.
At this moment, a majestic and domineering man from the Feifeng tribe was drinking tea, and he sensed it the moment Ye Bai opened the magic circle.
"who is it?"
An astonishing aura erupted from this person, and a graceful and luxurious woman next to him was also frightened by the sudden voice.
"Brother Lu, what's wrong?"
This person was King Tianwu. In response to the woman's inquiry, Lu Xiao said nothing and just said goodbye in a hurry.
However, even with his cultivation, it would be difficult for him to return to his clan instantly. He never imagined that Ye Bai would be so bold as to steal his things.
At this time, Ye Bai had already boarded the Jueling Boat. Only this special material could sail on the silent sea. He found a seat by the window and sat down.
But at this moment, he still dared not relax. The Tianwu tribe would definitely send people to hunt him down, and they also had their own Jueling Ark.
"It depends on whose time it is." Ye Bai sighed.
I can only hope that Lu Xiao can slow down a little more and give herself a little more time.
But Ye Bai has no regrets, and he can only gamble this time. If he doesn't make a move this time, he probably won't have a chance to break out of the cage in the future.
The sunlight shining through the window relaxed his tense nerves for a long time. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the silence of the moment.
