Chapter 830
Paying Homage to the Holy Son! Repaying Your Favor
"What!?"
Everyone looked horrified.
Their Bai family's veteran Golden Immortal expert was actually frozen into an ice pop by the opponent in one move.
Who is this person? His methods are so terrifying. With a casual wave of his hand, he possesses earth-shattering power.
"Who are you? What grudge do we have against you? Why are you committing violence against my Bai family?"
The family head, Bai Changdu, immediately shouted and quickly shielded his daughter, Bai Wanxi, behind him.
But before receiving a reply, she heard her daughter behind her call out, "Li Xuanbing, it's you! You're back!"
"You know him?"
Bai Changdu exclaimed in surprise.
Bai Wanxi said, "Li Xuanbing, Father, I told you before, it was he who led the trade route with me to Taiyuan City, where we met Lei Ruo and got help from the Yu and Lei families. However, after he returned to Anyuan City ahead of schedule, we never heard from him again. I never expected that he would have already broken through to the Golden Immortal realm."
Bai Wanxi spoke quickly, hurriedly explaining to her father, afraid that he might offend the other party in his impulsiveness.
The opponent is now a peerless expert who can freeze even the Golden Immortal level experts of the Bai family with ease. Even if all the members of the Bai family attacked together, they would not be a match for him.
Fortunately.
Li Xuanbing had no enmity with the Bai family; on the contrary, he was friends with Bai Wanxi. He must have come back specifically to visit his friend.
"Li Xuanbing, did you come back specifically to see me?"
Bai Wanxi asked with some anticipation.
Zhang Lingshan smiled slightly and said, "Of course. Without your help, Xiaoxi, I wouldn't have reached this level. I've always remembered your kindness to me."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanxi's face broke into a happy smile.
She knew she hadn't saved the wrong person.
Who would have thought that a random person she saved on the road could change Bai Wanxi's fate?
Even at the very beginning, Bai Wanxi never thought that Zhang Lingshan could actually rescue her from the mire. She just felt that Zhang Lingshan was exceptionally talented and might bring her some surprises.
Even if he doesn't bring any surprises, he's still a friend, so Bai Wanxi hasn't lost anything.
And yet, this act of kindness, which did not affect the overall situation, has received the most unparalleled reward today.
In this world, good people are indeed rewarded.
Bai Wanxi laughed while simultaneously shedding tears of joy.
"Xiao Xi".
Zhao Xingqiu quickly stepped forward and pulled her back, scolding, "You only have eyes for Li Xuanbing, you didn't even see me? I've also broken through to the Golden Immortal realm, if anyone bullies you, you can tell me."
That's all.
She whispered to Bai Wanxi, "Xiaoxi, don't think about it anymore. Li Xuanbing has now married the granddaughter of our Ice Spirit Sect's Sect Master, who is also our Ice Immortal of the Ice Chamber. He has also become the Holy Son of the Ice Spirit Sect. He is no longer from our world."
"what?"
Bai Wanxi was taken aback.
The world is changing so fast.
In the blink of an eye, Li Xuanbing is already married and has become the Holy Son of a major sect like the Ice Spirit Sect.
Although I don't know what the Holy Son of the Ice Spirit Sect is, he must be of a high and extraordinary status, far beyond what a Xuanxian like myself with average talent can compare to.
No wonder Zhao Xingqiu advised himself not to think about it anymore.
The difference in status between himself and Li Xuanbing was truly like heaven and earth.
When I first met Li Xuanbing, I was an unregistered person who was constantly on the run.
Now, not only does she have a status, but her status is even higher than Bai Wanxi's, making her someone he can only look up to.
If it were anyone else, after achieving such success, they would probably have long forgotten about Bai Wanxi, a nobody, and might even have killed her, because Bai Wanxi knew too much.
but.
Li Xuanbing not only didn't forget her, but he also came back to visit her in person.
Bai Wanxi will probably never forget this friendship in her lifetime.
"He, he's the Li Xuanbing you were talking about?"
Bai Changdu was still in shock, his jaw dropped, and he quickly corrected himself, saying, "No, it's Young Master Li. I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly. Please come in and have some tea."
"no."
Zhang Lingshan waved his hand and said, "I came back today to help Xiaoxi resolve the troubles I should have helped him with before. However, I left in too much of a hurry and was not strong enough, so I had to postpone it until now. Fortunately, Xiaoxi has not yet married Tao Mingguan, so everything is still in time."
It's more than just timely!
Bai Changdu roared inwardly, "Your arrival was absolutely timely! If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know how I would have ended this."
but.
Even with Li Xuanbing's arrival, Bai Changdu still harbored some worries.
Because the person they are facing right now is not just Tao Mingguan, but also Bai Lang from the Bai family's main branch.
If Li Xuanbing offends Bai Lang, the Bai family will lose all their chances of becoming Golden Immortals.
then.
Bai Changdu hurriedly introduced, "Young Master Li, this is an elder of our Bai family, a true disciple of the Ice Spirit Sect, a prodigy, and the future prodigy of the Ice Spirit Sect, Young Master Bai Lang."
Bai Changdu didn't hear what Zhao Xingqiu said to Bai Wanxi. He introduced Bai Changdu in a serious manner, as if afraid that Zhang Lingshan would offend this young master Bai Lang.
But Bai Lang looked terrified and rushed to Zhang Lingshan. He knelt down with a thud and said, "Bai Lang of Qingling Peak greets the Holy Son."
"!!?"
Bai Changdu was stunned and speechless.
what's the situation.
Why did their Bai family's most outstanding talents suddenly kneel down respectfully and shout "Holy Son"?
Who is this Li Xuanbing that makes Bai Lang so afraid?
Unbelievable!
"What!?"
Inside the room, Tao Mingguan's expression suddenly changed, and his heart skipped a beat.
He sensed that something terrible was about to happen.
Bai Lang is a true disciple of the Ice Spirit Sect, a candidate for the title of prodigy, with extraordinary talent and unfathomable strength.
At the very least, Tao Mingguan wouldn't last more than a few moves against him.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tao family was in the mining business and had plenty of spirit stones, he wouldn't have been able to persuade Bai Lang to come over.
Everything was going smoothly. Bai Lang was high and mighty, while Bai Changdu and all the Bai family members were treated like dirt in front of him.
but.
To everyone's surprise, Bai Wanxi actually invited someone even more high and mighty than Bai Lang.
How can we play like this? Thinking about this.
Tao Mingguan immediately wanted to retreat and leave, to run as far away as possible.
The other party was clearly here to solve Bai Wanxi's problem, which meant they were targeting Tao Mingguan. They had just called him out by name. If Tao Mingguan didn't run away quickly, this day next year would be his death anniversary.
"Want to run?"
Zhang Lingshan saw through Tao Mingguan's actions at a glance, without even needing to use his eyes, because his divine sense had already covered the surroundings, and everything was under his control.
With a wave of his right hand, Zhang Lingshan instantly turned Tao Mingguan's retreating body into an ice sculpture, standing motionless with only the look of terror on his face revealing his current state of mind.
Upon seeing this, Bai Lang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "Holy Son, this matter has nothing to do with me. It was Tao Mingguan who gave me spirit stones to help him out. I didn't know that Miss Bai and Holy Son knew each other. If I had known earlier, I would never have dared to get involved in this mess."
Bai Lang was filled with regret.
I was truly blinded by greed, offending the Holy Son for such a small amount of spirit stones.
Although he hadn't had time to return to the Ice Spirit Sect after breaking through to the Golden Immortal realm at the Golden Immortal Pavilion, Tao Mingguan invited him over.
However, his close fellow disciples all sent him messages, including his master, who also told him that their Ice Spirit Sect had a Holy Son, and that he should treat the Holy Son as if he were the sect leader, and should not be negligent.
Therefore, upon seeing Zhang Lingshan now, especially after witnessing Ji Buyi and Kong Ruobing protecting Zhang Lingshan together back at the Golden Immortal Pavilion, how could he not recognize him as the Holy Son of their Ice Spirit Sect?
That damned Tao Mingguan, you idiot! You witnessed the conflict at the Golden Immortal Pavilion back then, didn't you know that Bai Wanxi is backed by this powerful figure? You dare to mess with this person? You're really courting death.
Bai Changdu was dumbfounded.
He had just been worried that Zhang Lingshan had offended Bai Lang, the young master of the Bai family, but in the blink of an eye, Bai Lang knelt down before Zhang Lingshan and begged for his forgiveness.
Who could believe this scene if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes?
The high and mighty Young Master Bai Lang, in front of this person, seems like a lowly grandson.
How will you support him?
Zhang Lingshan asked Bai Lang with a smile.
Bai Lang's heart trembled, and he hurriedly said, "I am a member of the Bai family of Qingyun City, and I am the head of the Bai family of Anyuan City. Therefore, I am in charge of the Golden Immortal quota of the Bai family of Anyuan City. Holy Son, I will write a letter now to grant the Bai family of Anyuan City four Golden Immortal quotas, one of which will definitely be for Miss Bai Wanxi."
He didn't explain much and just sold it directly.
Upon hearing these words, Bai Changdu was so happy he almost fainted.
To offer four Golden Immortal slots at once is truly astonishing.
You should know that if you were to personally ask for a Golden Immortal spot, you would have to empty at least half of your savings. Even if you asked someone in the family, you might not be able to get it and would have to wait for news. If the other party was perfunctory, there would be nothing you could do.
And now.
Young Master Bai Lang personally promised to give four Golden Immortal slots, and they would be given away for free without any additional requirements.
Is there really such a good thing in the world?
In the past, even if Bai Changdu had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't have dared to imagine it.
What kind of powerful figure has my daughter come to know? It's terrifying.
No wonder the opponent froze their Bai family's veteran Golden Immortal into an ice pop with a single move; that's the opponent's terrifying strength.
Only by making Young Master Bai Lang a mere grandson could such strength be worthy of him.
"Xiaoxi, are you satisfied?"
Zhang Lingshan looked at Bai Wanxi and asked for her opinion.
Seeing Bai Lang's pleading expression and the look in his eyes when he looked at his father, Bai Wanxi nodded and said, "Young Master Bai Lang didn't mean it. He was deceived by Tao Mingguan."
"Yes, I was tricked by Tao Mingguan, that damned guy."
Bai Lang quickly echoed, giving Bai Wanxi a grateful look.
If the other party insists on holding him accountable, Bai Lang might die here today.
Given the Holy Son's status, not only would Qingling Peak not dare to retaliate against killing him, but the Bai family would also not dare to retaliate.
No matter how powerful the Bai family of Qingyun City is, they can't compare to the Ice Spirit Sect.
Not to mention that the Ice Spirit Sect is an ancient and powerful sect with a profound foundation, the fact that it has a Celestial Venerable as its backer makes it untouchable in the entire Great Qing Dynasty.
He had finally managed to join the Ice Spirit Sect and was fortunate enough to become a true disciple, even having the chance to become a candidate for the Heavenly Pride. If he were to die now, it would be a huge loss, harming not only himself but also the Bai family.
Therefore, upon hearing that Bai Wanxi was not holding it against him, he felt as if he wanted to kowtow to her.
My great-aunt is so magnanimous.
"Get up."
Zhang Lingshan said calmly.
Bai Lang felt as if he had been granted a pardon and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Holy Son. Your magnanimity and virtue will last forever."
"And who is this?"
Zhang Lingshan looked at Bai Lingfeng.
At this moment, Bai Lingfeng's face turned deathly pale. The instant Zhang Lingshan saw him, he couldn't help but kneel down on the ground, terrified beyond measure.
"He's in cahoots with Tao Mingguan; Tao Mingguan bought him the Golden Immortal spot. Clearly, he sold Bai Wanxi to get Tao Mingguan to spend money on him. He's utterly shameless and deserves to die!"
Bai Lang said fiercely.
These two guys are the ones who got me into trouble. How can I vent my anger if I don't kill them?
"Then kill them."
Zhang Lingshan said calmly.
"Third sister, please don't kill me! I'm doing this for your own good. Your talent is simply not enough to break through to the Golden Immortal realm. You could have a better life with Tao Mingguan. I'm doing this all for your own good! Please, I beg you, plead for me—Father, please speak for me, don't kill me..."
Bai Lingfeng shouted urgently, his head hitting the ground repeatedly.
Bai Lang couldn't help but glance at Zhang Lingshan.
He didn't care about Bai Changdu and Bai Wanxi. As long as Zhang Lingshan didn't say to stop, he would listen to Zhang Lingshan completely.
Zhang Lingshan glanced at Bai Lingfeng with indifferent eyes and a cold look.
Bai Lang immediately understood what he meant. Without saying a word, he slammed his palm down hard on Bai Lingfeng's forehead.
boom!
His brilliant mind instantly turned into ice shards, shattering into countless pieces.
The sounds of kowtowing and pleading abruptly ceased, and silence returned to the world.
“Although he was noisy, it’s really too cruel of you to just kill him like that. He was still a member of your Bai family.”
Zhang Lingshan looked at him with pity and sighed, "However, this is your own family matter, and it is not appropriate for me, an outsider, to interfere."
"The Holy Son is kind-hearted and benevolent, which is the greatest virtue in the world. It was my own decision that disappointed the Holy Son."
Bai Lang hurriedly said, "To express my remorse, I will give Bai Lingfeng a proper burial. Please rest assured, Holy Son!"
"What happens next is your family matter, I won't get involved."
Zhang Lingshan shook his head, then said to Bai Wanxi, "Miss Bai, all meetings must end in parting. You have done me a great favor. Fortunately, I have a treasure that can help you in your cultivation, as a way of repaying your past kindness. Would you be willing to accept this treasure?"
"I am willing!"
Bai Wanxi nodded quickly without hesitation.
Zhang Lingshan said, "Then come with me." (End of Chapter)
