122: Horrible origin
The venue instantly fell silent. Apart from Silver-Hair, the several Family Heads all had their pupils contract.
As for the reason, it was because they were all too familiar with this voice.
It was none other than the Huangfu Family's Venerable Realm expert, Huangfu Dali!
He was always stern, rarely appearing before the public, yet his strength was terrifyingly immense.
Most importantly, his personal appearance usually represented the will of the Huangfu Family, which was why the others had such strong emotional fluctuations.
A simple middle-aged man in plain clothes appeared before everyone's eyes. His expression was indifferent, giving off a feeling of keeping people at arm's length.
The Zhao Family Head put on a brilliant smile and said, "Brother Huangfu, what caused you to personally appear? We humbly request that you allow us to resolve our grudges ourselves!"
The Zheng Family Head also chimed in with a kind expression, "Indeed, if we have disturbed the Huangfu Family, we will personally visit afterwards to apologize!"
The Bai Family Head, however, did not speak, merely his eyes constantly flickering with brilliance, wondering what he was thinking.
Huangfu Dali seemed not to have heard their words, his eyes as still as an ancient well, showing no reaction whatsoever.
The Zhao Family Head and Zheng Family Head exchanged glances, both feeling a bit awkward, but they dared not harbor any resentment.
After all, even their combined strength would not be a match for him, and what made them most wary was that the Huangfu Family's old patriarch was still alive!
Before his seclusion, the Huangfu Family's old patriarch was already a long-time expert in the early Venerable Realm. Now, they didn't know if he had made further progress.
In their opinion, even if he hadn't stepped into the middle stage, he wasn't far off. Therefore, offending the Huangfu Family would bring a hundred harms and no benefits, so they naturally wouldn't do so.
Huangfu Dali's gaze swept across the surroundings, finally lingering for a moment on the Silver-Hair. To possess such a treasure, its owner must have a significant background.
Puppet-type combat treasures were very rare, not to mention those reaching Venerable Realm combat power. Without profound heritage, it was extremely difficult to achieve.
He spoke again in a calm tone, "My old patriarch has given an order: cease all conflict. Otherwise, do not blame my Huangfu Family for being ruthless."
His tone was extremely domineering, leaving no room for discussion. Of course, the Huangfu Family also possessed such strength.
The Zhao Family and Zheng Family could only sigh helplessly. The other party had already issued a notice, so they could only temporarily give up this excellent opportunity.
As for Silver-Hair, he stood motionless in the void, like a statue.
The Big Yellow Dog below had been observing the situation. Seeing someone interfere, he was a bit displeased and grumbled, "Damn it, who is this guy? He seems so arrogant!"
But he didn't make a move, wanting to observe the development of the situation. His intuition told him that this matter wouldn't end so easily.
Sure enough, the Bai Family Head closed the folding fan in his hand, gracefully flicked his sleeve, and loudly addressed Huangfu Dali, "What if I refuse?"
"Hmm?"
Huangfu Dali was somewhat surprised. He glanced at the other party and found that he seemed to be fearless, with no trace of apprehension in his eyes.
The Zhao Family Head and Zheng Family Head were first stunned, then became excited. Had Bai Jinqiu's brain gone bad?
Why would he make such a foolish move? This didn't fit his usual style.
However, they were happy to see it, staring at the Bai Family Head with schadenfreude.
The Big Yellow Dog had an 'I knew it' expression, excitedly shouting, "Fight! Fight!"
Fearing that the world would not be chaotic enough, Tu Qiang was also infected, his eyes shining brightly as he stared unblinkingly at the sky.
Lin Yan, however, was indifferent. From the moment the Bai Family Head appeared, he had sensed an unusual aura, knowing that things were far more complicated than they seemed on the surface.
Huangfu Dali pondered for a moment before saying, "What, do you wish to be an enemy of the Huangfu Family?"
His tone finally changed slightly, carrying a sense of oppression.
"No, no, no, I, Bai, know my strength is humble and cannot contend with the Huangfu Family, but while I cannot, someone else can!"
The Bai Family Head's expression remained normal. He didn't change due to the other party's threat; instead, he uttered a shockingly incredible statement.
"What?"
The Zhao Family Head and Zheng Family Head, who were originally watching the show, had drastic changes in their expressions. From the other party's meaning, it seemed that there were other forces backing him, which made him dare to directly confront the Huangfu Family.
"Oh?"
Huangfu Dali also felt a ripple in his heart. It seemed that the power behind the Bai Family Head had been coveting the Huangfu Family for a long time, and this time was just an accident.
Even if it hadn't been discovered this time, it would have been targeted in the future. Discovering it in advance was not a bad thing.
"Who gave you this courage to dare to target my Huangfu Family?"
Huangfu Dali's tone turned cold, his eyes fixed on the other party.
The Bai Family Head chuckled, "Originally, I intended to take these two down first while I had the chance, but I didn't expect you all to react so quickly. Well, it's only a matter of time anyway!"
"Oh, really!"
Huangfu Dali's aura suddenly erupted. His large hand, with lightning speed, enveloped the Bai Family Head, intending to capture him first for interrogation.
The terrifying momentum startled the Zhao Family Head and Zheng Family Head, who instinctively retreated quickly, leaving an open battlefield.
"Hmph!"
Even when facing the terrifying Huangfu Dali, the Bai Family Head showed no sign of backing down. He used the same trick again, a white crane carrying the intent to cleave the heavens, unleashing a blade light.
However, the power it contained was far stronger than before. The blade light cut through space, attempting to tear the large hand apart.
The large hand, like it was forged from immortal gold, was incredibly hard. It directly crushed the blade light and continued towards the Bai Family Head.
The Bai Family Head's expression changed. While simultaneously using another move to resist, he pulled back, trying to evade the attack.
But he underestimated the terror of this large hand, and he also underestimated Huangfu Dali's strength.
No matter how the Bai Family Head dodged and maneuvered, he couldn't escape the pursuit of the large hand. He was sent flying tens of thousands of feet, spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Hiss, hiss, hiss!
The Zhao Family Head and Zheng Family Head both gasped, "How terrifyingly strong!"
Although they knew Huangfu Dali was very powerful, they hadn't expected him to be this strong, simply not on the same level as them.
Even Bai Jinqiu, who had made them and Silver-Hair join forces to contend with him, was not his match in a single move.
What they didn't know was that the Big Yellow Dog hadn't intended to end the battle quickly and hadn't unleashed Silver-Hair's full power.
If he went all out, his performance would be terrifyingly superior to Huangfu Dali by an unknown margin.
"It seems that rumor is probably true!"
The Zhao Family Head whispered to the Zheng Family Head.
"Are you talking about that matter?"
Their conversation naturally didn't escape the Big Yellow Dog's ears, who couldn't help but grumble, "You two, just say what you mean, why are you speaking in riddles?"
The Zhao Family Head seemed to have his mind controlled, muttering to himself, "Legend has it that Ancient Saint City once had a Saint Realm Expert, though only a Half-Saint. That was still an existence beyond the Venerable Realm's limits."
"It is said his name was: Huangfu Zhantian!"
If nothing unexpected happened, he must have come from the Huangfu Family!
In the eyes of ordinary people, a Half-Saint Expert was not much different from a true Saint Realm Expert; both were existences on another level.
Just as the large hand was about to completely seize the Bai Family Head, a black light shone, shattering the large hand, and at the same time, a voice rang out: "The Huangfu Family is truly imposing!"
The sudden voice echoed through the sky!
