Chaos Heaven-Dominating Technique

Chapter 575 570: Returning the Favor

"So they were framed after all! And I even blamed them!"

"Sigh, how could the Bai Family just try to arrest someone without any proof? They even wanted to force their way into the Medicine Hall. They're acting way too arrogant!"

"And they're supposed to be the top power in White Fox City? Framing a young woman like that... I can't even stand to watch!"

Seeing the jade stone remain completely inert, the surrounding Martial Artists instantly turned on the members of the Bai Family. The humiliating comments made the faces of the Bai Family members turn quite ugly.

"Second Master, the situation is getting out of hand!" Bai Shuo whispered to Bai Hong as he looked at the surrounding Martial Artists.

Bai Hong also looked at the crowd, his brows knitting tightly. It is said that gossip is a fearful thing, and this was true even for the Bai Family. After all, the damage from rumors and slander to a family's reputation was immense. 'And a family without honor... how can it even call itself a family?'

"We're leaving!" Bai Hong finally said, seething through gritted teeth. 'If I try to forcibly take Shen Haoran and Lady Ya now, I'll not only offend the Medicine Hall, but also all the Martial Artists in White Fox City. I won't gain a single thing. This was a complete and utter failure!'

"Second Master Bai, wait!" Seeing Bai Hong about to leave, Shen Haoran quickly called out to him.

Hearing Shen Haoran's voice, Bai Hong turned and stared at him coldly. 'This is the man who completely ruined my plan.' Bai Hong wished he could kill him on the spot.

"Second Master Bai, you were willing to storm the Medicine Hall just to get this jade stone back. You must really like it, huh? In that case, I'll give it to you!" Shen Haoran said with a disarmingly simple smile, then flicked the jade stone out from his hand.

WHOOSH...

What looked like a casual toss from Shen Haoran actually sent the jade stone whistling through the air, making the eardrums of the surrounding Martial Artists tremble. One could only imagine the immense power behind that throw!

"Hmph!" Sensing the approaching jade stone, Bai Hong snorted coldly. He extended his palm, and the Spiritual Power in his body surged forth like a tidal wave, instantly forming a giant hand of Spiritual Power that intercepted the stone.

"Is that all?" Bai Hong said disdainfully to Shen Haoran, his giant hand of Spiritual Thought gripping the jade stone. He was a Tier Nine Spirit Aspect himself; catching Shen Haoran's attack couldn't have been simpler.

"Is that so?" A wicked smile played on Shen Haoran's lips.

Seeing the smile on Shen Haoran's lips, Bai Hong suddenly felt a sense of crisis. The next moment, the jade stone in his grasp abruptly burst into flame. Black and yellow fire flared violently, and the stone, now like a Sharp Sword, pierced straight through Bai Hong's giant hand of Spiritual Power and shot toward his body.

BOOM!

With a muffled explosion, the jade stone slammed into Bai Hong. A powerful storm of fire raged within a small radius, and a cloud of smoke billowed up, concealing him from view.

Everyone who witnessed this couldn't help but gasp. There had been no way to defend against Shen Haoran's move; even a crafty old fox like Bai Hong had fallen for it.

The smoke gradually dissipated, revealing Bai Hong's figure. The sleeve on his arm had been completely incinerated, revealing a pair of fox claws where his hand should have been. The white fur on his arm was singed, and the smell of burning flesh filled the air. Shen Haoran's single move had actually forced Bai Hong to reveal his true form!

"Hmph, let's go!" Bai Hong shot Shen Haoran a cold glare, quickly concealing his arm. He turned and left with the Bai Family members, not even sparing Shen Haoran another glance.

"Second Master, are we just going to let that kid off so easily?" Bai Shuo asked unwillingly after they left the Medicine Hall.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Hong suddenly stopped. A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth. The arm that Shen Haoran had struck trembled, and a few drops of blood dripped from his fingertips.

Seeing this, Bai Shuo was inwardly shaken. 'Bai Hong is actually injured! That casual strike from Shen Haoran actually wounded a Tier Nine Spirit Aspect!' Now he finally understood why Bai Hong had been in such a hurry to leave. If anyone else had seen this, his reputation would have been completely destroyed!

"Damn it!" Bai Hong took a deep breath to suppress the churning energy and blood within him. 'The jade stone Shen Haoran threw was laced with two strange energies: one was incredibly scorching, the other extremely heavy. Those two energies raged through my body. If I hadn't reacted quickly enough to expel them, the consequences would have been severe.'

"Back to the Bai Family. We'll plan our next move carefully," Bai Hong said in a low voice, then led his men back toward the Bai Family estate.

Back in the Medicine Hall, Shen Haoran watched Bai Hong and his men disappear and couldn't help but snort coldly. 'If my strength hadn't recovered today, Bai Hong would have taken Lady Ya back to the Bai Family, and she would have been in grave danger.'

"Hmph. Bai Hong, is it? It seems I can no longer allow you to remain in the Bai Family," Shen Haoran said coldly. He then turned to Hall Master Hong and said, "Hall Master Hong, I'd like to ask a favor of you."

"Young Friend Shen, please speak. I will certainly do everything in my power to help you!" Hall Master Hong said with a smile. 'Shen Haoran is a Sixth Grade Alchemist. If I can get on his good side, the benefits will be substantial.'

"Good. I want you to gather some people in my name—they must be at the Spirit Emperor Level or higher. Tell them the reward is a Spirit Emperor Pill," Shen Haoran said calmly.

"What? Spirit Emperor Pills!" Hall Master Hong cried out in shock upon hearing Shen Haoran's words. That was a Sixth Grade High Level Elixir! The Spirit Emperor Pill was also extremely special, as only Spirit Emperor Powerhouses could use it. A single Spirit Emperor Pill could allow a Spirit Emperor Powerhouse to advance one Tier with absolutely no side effects! One had to understand that at the Spirit Emperor Level, advancing a single Tier was incredibly difficult. Sometimes it took decades to make such a breakthrough. Now, a single elixir could save years, or even decades, of effort. This was an elixir that every Spirit Emperor Powerhouse dreamed of but could never find!

"May I ask what Young Friend Shen needs to gather Spirit Emperor Powerhouses for?" Hall Master Hong asked, a guess already forming in his mind, though he sounded uncertain.

"Hmph. The Bai Family gave me such a generous 'gift.' I have to return the favor, don't I? After thinking it over, the only suitable return gift is a few Spirit Emperor Powerhouses. I just hope they can handle it," Shen Haoran said, a cold light flashing in his eyes. 'I already warned the Bai Family. I told them not to provoke me, but they didn't take the chance I gave them. In that case, I'll just have to show them the consequences of crossing me.'

'Just as I thought!' Hearing the killing intent in Shen Haoran's voice, Hall Master Hong exclaimed inwardly. He couldn't help but feel a sliver of pity for the Bai Family. 'Of all the people to provoke, they just had to provoke a Sixth Grade Alchemist. Don't they know that offending an Alchemist is like poking a hornet's nest? Well, all I can do now is wish them luck!'
