Chapter 1010 “Breaking into the Celestial Rank (4)”
“Chief Lan, I know Yan’er doesn’t want to see you in danger. If the threat can’t convince you then I might as well directly knock you out to leave.” Slowly rising from his seat, Bai Chang Feng’s voice carried a faint hint of threat, showing how serious he was about the matter.
Old Lord Lan was completely taken aback by this picture. Twitching in the corner of his mouth, the stubborn old grandfather didn’t expect this famed Medicine Lord to be so despicably shameless.
“I have also heard that your eldest grandson is currently trying to woo the current queen of the Feng Qi Kingdom is he not? Although that lassie isn’t one of the core disciples of the Holy Land, but with my influence, I can also get a spot on the Holy Island for her. What do you say Chief Lan? That’s a good offer on my part isn’t it?” All smiles there, Bai Chang Feng whipped out the carrot and the stick, leaving nothing untouched in this discussion.
Almost crying in his old face, Old Lord Lan felt like a helpless kid right now in front of his own family and relatives. Making a bittersweet smile in the end with obvious worry for the rest of his followers still: “You’re already going that far, what else can I say when its either me being knocked unconscious or come willingly?”
“Chief Lan, let’s do this. Go speak with your people and have them all wear the exact same uniform. This way the demon beasts living in the Abyss can recognize who they are and keep a close eye on their safety.”
The Abyss forest is treacherously dangerous to begin with. If anything, those from the Lan family can flee with the demon beasts when the going gets tough. They should have enough room to hide in that vast stretch of land.
“Then I will have to bother Lord Bai to arrange this,” said the stubborn old grandfather.
Old Madam Lan and the rest of the family were very much relieved by the stubborn man’s compliance. They honestly thought he would get stupid again and refuse to leave with them….
With the main goal completed, Bai Chang Feng figured its time he told the rest of the world about the impending danger and how they should head to the Abyss as well for safety.
The ones whom believed the news didn’t hesitate and promptly packed up their luggage at the first sunrise. The quickest to move would of course be the Flower Brothel and the alchemists that Bai Yan helped produce. Hualuo has always been faithful to her mistress. By leading over a thousand members under her, she led the first batch into the vast forest that made up the Abyss.
As for the second wave of refugees, it had to be the Demon Beast Sect that submitted to the little steambun awhile back. They are firmly in belief that the boy was their savior, and what other convincing did they need when their prized dragon was now acting all tamed thanks to the boy’s arrival?
Unfortunately, more were of the opinion that Bai Chang Feng has lost his mind due to being old and senile. It couldn’t be helped. The homes, the territories, the wealth, these were all precious to the commoners and lower factions out there. Telling them to abandon everything that was their foundation merely based on a single man’s words were ludicrous.
……
Inside the bronze gate.
Sitting crossed leg on the ground, Bai Yan had an air of white constantly surrounding her body that’s exuding a faint blue glow.
Boom!
Suddenly, a streak of heavy thunder rocked the whiteness in the sky before landing directly onto the woman’s body.
