Chapter 29

"WHAT!!" Long Xing's face changed dramatically, unable to hide his panic as he stared wide-eyed at the person kneeling below, dressed in the attire of a Yin Xu Men disciple.

This person was named Zhang He, a disciple of Yin Xu Men, and was actually an informant planted by Long Xing within Yin Xu Men.

However, this time, Zhang He's bold return to Long Hu Men made it impossible for him to maintain his cover.

If it weren't for an absolutely necessary situation, he wouldn't have risked exposing his identity to return and relay the message as quickly as possible.

"The deputy leader of Yin Xu Men, Yin Wuqing, is leading twelve core disciples to ambush outside the city, planning to attack Bai Cheng!" Zhang He repeated his intelligence without any omissions.

Long Xing finally couldn't sit still, his expression extremely grave. He knew that Zhang He would never lie to him.

From Zhang He's words, it could only mean that Yin Xu Men had already found out about that matter!

And only a few people knew about this matter, Zhang He being one of them. Even his most trusted adopted son, Long Tuxiao, only had a vague understanding of this secret.

As the leader of the second-ranked sect in Qingzhou City, Yin Xu Men, he also knew this most crucial secret about Long Hu Men.

Originally, Long Xing's attitude towards Bai Chen had always been lukewarm, and he hadn't even sent anyone to keep an eye on Bai Chen, to avoid drawing Yin Xu Men's attention and to prevent Bai Chen from feeling repulsed.

However, it now seemed that he had clearly miscalculated. Yin Xu Men had long seen through his tricks and planned to strike first.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have dispatched their deputy leader, Yin Wuqing, who clearly intended to kill Bai Chen.

"I can't just let Bai Chen die! Absolutely not..."

Long Xing was both anxious and angry. Long Tuxiao stood beside him, having never seen his master so flustered.

"Master, please don't be so anxious. Although Bai Chen's strength is not great, he is very alert and may not fall into Yin Xu Men's trap." Long Tuxiao tried to calm Long Xing, though he didn't have much hope.

Yin Wuqing, although the deputy leader of Yin Xu Men, was no less powerful than the leader, Yin Jueqing.

He was also a top expert at the peak of the ninth stage. In all of Qingzhou City, no one except Long Xing dared to claim they could definitely defeat Yin Wuqing.

Long Xing shouted hysterically, "Are you really unaware or pretending? How could you not know the strength of Yin Wuqing? With his peak ninth-stage cultivation, Bai Chen would be dead for sure if he falls into his hands, let alone... more than that..."

Long Xing's words were cut off, and his expression became even more unnatural. Yin Xu Men's long-standing position as the second-ranked sect in Qingzhou City was not supported by just one or two experts.

Fundamentally, Yin Xu Men was even more than a notch above Long Hu Men.

Moreover, the most significant point was that Yin Xu Men excelled in secret techniques.

Their almost bizarre methods were something even Long Xing didn't dare to claim he could defeat.

Over the years, in several confrontations with Yin Xu Men, Long Xing had never gained any advantage.

Every time he thought of Yin Xu Men's bizarre secret techniques, Long Xing felt a chill run down his spine.

Now that Yin Xu Men's deputy leader, Yin Wuqing, had personally taken action, how could Bai Chen have any chance of survival?

...

Yin Wuqing openly revealed his aura, a hard-to-describe oppressive force surging towards Bai Chen and Mu Sansheng.

Bai Chen and Mu Sansheng exchanged glances, both showing serious expressions.

The oppressive force of a peak ninth-stage expert was like a mountain, pressing down on their hearts, making it hard for them to even breathe.

Yin Wuqing's cold and ruthless killing intent made both of them shiver.

"I heard you practiced an external cultivation method?" Yin Wuqing's eyes flickered as he stared at Bai Chen.

An external cultivation method was a fatal attraction to anyone.

Yin Xu Men, with their secret techniques as their foundation, had established themselves in Qingzhou City.

External cultivation methods, along with secret techniques, were both unparalleled and renowned in the world.

Secret techniques were unpredictable and often had unexpected effects.

External cultivation methods, on the other hand, were unpredictable in their power and often had astonishing abilities, especially in developing the body, which could be described as having divine and ghostly strength.

Therefore, Yin Wuqing was eager to obtain the external cultivation method. If Yin Xu Men could get it, surpassing Long Hu Men would be just around the corner.

"Hand over the external cultivation method, and I'll leave you a full corpse!"

"Ha ha... then you might as well tear me to pieces." Bai Chen sneered. If he handed over the external cultivation method, the other side would definitely kill him without hesitation.

But if he could buy some time, he might have a chance to escape.

"Do you think that as long as you don't hand over the external cultivation method, I can't do anything to you, and you can escape?"

A cruel smile appeared on the corner of Yin Wuqing's mouth. Bai Chen's face stiffened, did he hear my thoughts?

Yin Wuqing seemed very satisfied with Bai Chen's expression. The feeling of having everything under control made him feel incredibly pleased.

"Although I won't kill you immediately... if you try to escape, it's a pipe dream!"

Yin Wuqing slightly turned his head and gave a signal to a subordinate beside him. The subordinate then handed a small child to Yin Wuqing.

A hint of blood appeared in Yin Wuqing's eyes, and Bai Chen's breathing suddenly became uneven as he stared straight at the child in Yin Wuqing's hands.

However, after a few glances, he realized that the child in Yin Wuqing's hands was already a cold, lifeless corpse.

Yin Wuqing suddenly opened his mouth and bit into the child's throat, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

Bai Chen could hear Yin Wuqing's loud sucking sounds.

Mu Sansheng's scalp tingled. Although he had heard of Yin Xu Men's cruel and vicious actions before, today's encounter made him feel an unprecedented panic.

After sucking the child's blood dry, Yin Wuqing casually threw the corpse to the ground and sighed, "Children's blood is indeed the best. After this is over, go to the village and bring the other children here. Don't kill them too quickly; the blood gets stale if they die for too long."

Bai Chen's eyes blazed with fury, wishing he could devour these scoundrels alive.

Yin Wuqing looked at Bai Chen, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and showed a strange smile, "What? Can't bear to see it? Want to uphold justice? Many people have tried to uphold justice, but none have succeeded. To master this secret technique, I've drunk the blood of nine hundred and ninety-nine infants. Now, if I don't drink it every day, I can't stand it!"

"You! Deserve! To die!" Bai Chen clenched his fists tightly, unable to understand how such a beast could exist in this world.

His chest felt as if it were blocked by a huge stone, his breath stifled, and his heart felt like it was boiling. His eyes were bloodshot as he stared at Yin Wuqing.

"Do you know, the best blood to drink is from a living infant. The taste..."

Yin Wuqing seemed to have forgotten his purpose, lost in his memories, licking his lips, "Sweet and refreshing, with no bitter taste. Unfortunately, the blood of a living infant is too vigorous and not beneficial for cultivation, so I have to kill them before drinking. Isn't that a pity?"

Scum! This was the first time Bai Chen had such a strong desire to kill someone!

He had never felt such an impulse in his life!

Even more so than when Alu was beaten by the Shan Xing Sect.

"Kill! Kill! Kill this scum!"

The voice of Jie Sha echoed in Bai Chen's mind.

And Jie Sha's roar, like a curse, made Bai Chen's killing intent grow uncontrollably.

"Die!" In a fit of rage, Bai Chen leaped high and swung his fist with all his strength at Yin Wuqing.

Yin Wuqing raised his head, a cold smile on his face, showing no sign of defense.

Just as Bai Chen thought he was about to succeed, Yin Wuqing finally moved. He suddenly raised a finger and lightly shouted, "Stop!"

Bai Chen suddenly felt as if his body was filled with mercury, falling uncontrollably.

He almost lost his balance, stumbling a few steps. Before he could steady himself, the blood and qi in his body began to slow down, becoming increasingly sluggish.

The feeling was like a slow-motion scene in a movie, unbearable and slow.

In the end, Bai Chen felt his body completely frozen, only his eyes could still move.

But at the same time, Bai Chen's Iron Shirt suddenly changed!

Iron Shirt proficiency +100

Iron Shirt proficiency +100

Iron Shirt proficiency +100

Iron Shirt proficiency +100

Bai Chen was stunned. What was happening?

He hadn't been attacked at all, so why was his Iron Shirt proficiency increasing so rapidly?
