422: Bai family

The departure of True Person Yuan Ling, Xun Xiuyuan, and their party instantly stirred ripples in Titan's heart, and an unspeakable sense of urgency arose.

During this time, Titan had been caught in continuous fierce battles, and every bloody fight made his desire for power even stronger.

During these arduous days, Titan finally completely refined those precious Law Comprehension Pills generously gifted by Xun Xiuyuan, integrating their essence bit by bit into his Bloodline until they were fully mastered.

Perhaps thanks to the deep accumulation during this period, Titan vaguely felt that the Bottleneck that had troubled him for many years seemed to be quietly loosening, and a faint sign of a Breakthrough was looming.

This feeling made him both excited and apprehensive; he knew this might be an important turning point on his path of cultivation.

Thus, Titan unhesitatingly found Yang Xiaoyao, who was busy within the fortress, and said in a firm and brief tone, "I need to return to the Yuan Ling Sect."

Without excessive explanation or detailing any reasons, Titan knew that every second was crucial at this moment.

After saying this, he resolutely turned and left, departing the Cosmic Battlefield and returning to the Yuan Ling Sect.

.

Star Swallower's powerful Divine Thought spread out like a tide in an instant, quickly and thoroughly covering the entire massive base.

Star Swallower did not discover Titan's aura; nevertheless, he did not show much concern, merely turning his gaze toward Xun Xiuyuan and saying with a hint of banter and surprise, "How much time has passed? In just the time it took for me to doze off and take a short nap, you've actually grown to such a remarkable level? I truly didn't expect that even I would misjudge and underestimate your potential and growth speed."

Star Swallower's words were direct, without beating around the bush.

Recalling the past, he had merely casually taken Xun Xiuyuan as a Named Disciple, not even granting him the status of a formal Disciple.

At that time, Xun Xiuyuan was perhaps just an ordinary member among many Disciples in his eyes, not attracting much attention.

Yet today, although Xun Xiuyuan, like Titan, had not yet successfully advanced to the Saint King Realm, the strength and potential he displayed could no longer be underestimated.

The fact that a Guiyi Realm powerhouse could not even kill Xun Xiuyuan with a single sword strike was enough to prove what astonishing strength Xun Xiuyuan now possessed.

Regarding this cheap Revered Master, Xun Xiuyuan hadn't originally taken him too seriously, feeling it was merely a Revered Master-Disciple relationship in name only.

However, this time Star Swallower had stepped in at the critical moment to save his life.

Recalling the feeling of powerlessness and despair when facing that powerhouse, even though he had luckily entered the Ling Tian Pagoda at the time, the outcome would still have been an unknown suspense.

This life-saving debt was real and unforgettable for Xun Xiuyuan.

Therefore, from the depths of his heart, he felt sincere gratitude toward this cheap Revered Master. "Thank you for the timely rescue, Revered Master, otherwise your Disciple would likely have been doomed this time."

Xun Xiuyuan sincerely expressed his thanks.

Hearing Xun Xiuyuan address Star Swallower so respectfully, True Person Yuan Ling and the others couldn't help but feel shocked, especially Vice Sect Leader Qinghui, who was so surprised she was speechless.

Within the entire Yuan Ling Sect, it was well known that Vice Sect Leader Qinghui was Xun Xiuyuan's teacher, at least his actual Revered Master in name.

However, compared to the powerful and brawny Star Swallower before them, Vice Sect Leader Qinghui seemed so small and insignificant, as if instantly overshadowed, and a complex emotion inevitably surged in her heart.

Seeing Xun Xiuyuan call him Revered Master, Star Swallower burst into hearty laughter, his mood appearing extremely jovial.

A satisfied light flashed in his eyes, as if he had found a long-lost sense of belonging in that one "Revered Master."

"Good, since you're willing to call me Revered Master, then my rescue just now wasn't in vain. Speaking of which, you kid have a bit of discernment."

Star Swallower smiled and patted Xun Xiuyuan's shoulder, then changed the subject, asking with some confusion, "By the way, why is the Bai Family targeting you? I find this matter a bit fishy."

In Star Swallower's view, whether it was Bai Chen or Bai Huang, they were both direct descendants of the Bai Family; one had an eight-system cultivation, and the other had reached the terrifying strength of the Guiyi Realm.

With these two targeting Xun Xiuyuan simultaneously, it was naturally the Bai Family pulling the strings from behind, intentionally dealing with Xun Xiuyuan.

Xun Xiuyuan was stunned upon hearing this, his brow furrowing slightly, clearly confused by this sudden information: "The Bai Family? Isn't it the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance that is targeting me?"

He had always thought he had offended the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance; why had a Bai Family suddenly appeared now?

Xun Xiuyuan didn't know the specific identities of the powerhouses who had acted; he only knew he had offended the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance for some reason, which led to such a fierce attack.

As for that final Guiyi Realm individual, it was clearly aimed at the Ling Tian Pagoda.

Seeing this, Star Swallower couldn't help but chuckle and explained, "That's not wrong either; the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance was actually founded by the Bai Family, and there are countless ties between the two. Offending the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance is, in a sense, offending the Bai Family."

At this point, Star Swallower spoke again, his tone becoming somewhat serious: "The person who acted against you is the direct grandson of Second Elder Bai, named Bai Huang. He is not only the Alliance Leader of the Cosmic Chamber of Commerce Alliance but also a Guiyi Realm powerhouse whose strength cannot be underestimated."

Just then, True Person Yuan Ling said to Xun Xiuyuan via voice transmission: "Second Elder Bai is the Second Alliance Leader of the Cosmic Alliance, a peerless powerhouse."

Hearing this, a flash of insight struck Xun Xiuyuan's mind, and he finally cleared up the complex relationships.

No wonder Xiao Xuan said that; even surrendering would mean certain death, as the newcomer was a direct descendant of the Second Alliance Leader of the Cosmic Alliance.

He took a deep breath, secretly making up his mind that he must be even more cautious to find a sliver of life in this intricate situation.

These people were precisely the masterminds who planned and carried out the murder of the Ling Tian Pagoda's previous Revered Master; however, Ling Tian couldn't truly be considered the previous Revered Master of the Ling Tian Pagoda, as he only maintained a cooperative relationship with the Ling Tian Pagoda where both parties got what they needed for mutual benefit.

It was no wonder that when he faced that old man of unfathomable strength, he appeared so powerless and unable to fight back, because that old man's cultivation had already reached the awe-inspiring Guiyi Realm.

Star Swallower's gaze was sharp as he continued to question Xun Xiuyuan: "Has the Universe you are in already joined the Cosmic Alliance?"
