C21 One Person Fought Against the Loong Family
Time was slowly slipping away, and the duration of a single incense stick had already elapsed.
The bully still hadn't returned with the person, leaving everyone uncertain whether he was serious or merely jesting.
Bai Yu gazed in the direction the bully had departed and mused, "Maybe he's too scared to come back."
He was aware that the bully had been gone for quite some time. If he didn't return, Bai Yu would have to head back himself.
The Star Cloud Sect had strict timing for their mountain gate. If he returned past the allotted time, he would surely be berated mercilessly.
Just as Bai Yu was about to leave, two figures emerged in the distance.
"Who has wronged you? I won't let them off easily this time."
The bully arrived with several members of the Loong Family, confronting Bai Yu.
Beside them stood a considerable number of Loong Family People. If Bai Yu intended to confront them, he would have to face them all.
He swept his gaze over the group and let out a light laugh, "Are you lining up for us to take turns?"
There were at least thirty Loong Family People. If they all attacked Bai Yu together, the outcome was uncertain.
The Loong Family must be quite renowned locally; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to summon such a crowd.
The bully pointed at Bai Yu and declared, "That's the one. Don't let him escape."
Bai Yu watched the bully pointing at him and chuckled, "What now?"
Members of the Loong Family approached from behind and pointed at the bully. "Kneel and apologize, and I might forgive you."
"Exactly. We Loong Family People aren't to be trifled with. Apologize."
A chorus of twenty to thirty people began to demand an apology, their collective voice carrying a formidable presence.
They expected Bai Yu to be intimidated, but his expression remained cool and detached.
He didn't see any threat in them; they were simply no match for him.
The Loong Family People, noticing Bai Yu's disregard, deliberated briefly before issuing an order, "Get him, and teach him a lesson."
The crowd closed in, intent on disciplining Bai Yu.
A transparent barrier formed around Bai Yu, and anyone who tried to breach it was instantly repelled, sent flying.
The Loong Family People squinted at Bai Yu, utterly clueless about the unfolding events.
All they saw was a figure being hurled through the air, yet they hadn't witnessed Bai Yu lift a finger.
The power of the Golden Root was renowned for its formidable strength; they truly stood no chance against it.
Bai Yu watched as the Loong Family People still intended to confront him and let out a cold laugh.
"If you have any more people, I suggest you bring them all at once."
Bai Yu remained stationary, showing no interest in engaging them in combat.
The Loong Family People charged at Bai Yu in a desperate attempt to take him down.
Sadly for them, upon reaching Bai Yu's side, they either found themselves drained of strength or sent flying through the air.
The effects of the Grand Upper Elder's Secret Scripture were beyond Bai Yu's expectations.
The Loong Family People hadn't anticipated Bai Yu's formidable capabilities and were now filled with regret.
Had the bully not led them here, they would never have ventured to such a place.
The Loong Family People stepped back, intending to retreat with their group.
They realized they were no match for Bai Yu and saw no purpose in remaining.
"Hold on, did I say you could leave?"
At Bai Yu's words, they shuddered uncontrollably.
They were ignorant of Bai Yu's identity and capabilities.
Had it not been for Bai Yu's recent display of power, they would still be in the dark.
Their true strength was clearly outclassed; they stood no chance of defeating Bai Yu alone.
The bully watched Bai Yu in a daze, not having expected to cross such a formidable individual.
The Loong Family People approached Bai Yu once more, unsure of their own reasoning.
Bai Yu pointed to the ground: "Apologize to me now, admit your mistake, and I'll let you go."
Without hesitation, the Loong Family People knelt and echoed Bai Yu's words.
Bai Yu spared them further words, gesturing dismissively into the distance: "Scram."
Hearing Bai Yu's command to leave, they all headed off.
They were eager to escape the area, uncertain of what else might occur.
Many members of the Loong Family were sprawled on the ground, utterly clueless about the events that had unfolded.
"Why did you provoke Bai Yu? His strength is so formidable."
To the Loong Family People, Bai Yu was seen as a force to be reckoned with.
Bai Yu was aware that the Loong Family considered him an adversary. If he encountered any of them, he knew he had to eradicate the threat completely.
Having been defeated by Bai Yu, it was incredibly difficult for the Loong Family People to even consider returning.
"Who called you here? I expect an apology from that person."
They had lost their chance and were now at Bai Yu's mercy.
As Bai Yu rose to his feet, he was determined to prove himself.
Two individuals rushed forward, hoping to challenge Bai Yu.
Sadly for them, Bai Yu had already detected their approach. With a swift motion, he extended his fingers.
The sword aimed at Bai Yu was effortlessly snapped by his energy.
His other hand transformed into a fist, delivering a crushing blow to the assailant's heart.
Bai Yu watched as both men were flung away, their identities unknown to him.
Only the Loong Family People might know who the two were.
"I'm warning you, if you try to attack me again, don't expect any mercy."
Bai Yu had no interest in further conversation and made his way towards the Loong Family members.
The crowd nodded in agreement, none daring to show any discomfort.
The Loong Family People had come here thinking they could easily eliminate Bai Yu.
But they hadn't anticipated that Bai Yu was not someone they could simply overpower.
They knelt on the ground and scrambled away in panic.
Bai Yu let them flee; their presence served no purpose.
The bully had intended to leave, yet Bai Yu kept him there.
Regardless, the Loong Family People were due to face some consequences.
Bai Yu gave them a severe beating until they started to plead for mercy.
Their escape hastened, fully aware of the precariousness of their situation.
The Loong Family People, noticing Bai Yu's diverted attention, quickly made their way to a side path, hoping to slip away unnoticed.
They had come with the intent to strike, but they never imagined that Bai Yu would single-handedly subdue them all.
Without their strength, they were no longer so fearsome.
Those who hadn't fled were now kneeling on the ground, expressing their profound gratitude.
Bai Yu observed their pleas for mercy and gestured dismissively, "Go on, leave. I have no desire to kill you."
The Loong Family People, realizing Bai Yu had intentionally spared them, were thrilled and quickly departed with their remaining members.
Initially, the bully wasn't permitted to leave, but Bai Yu eventually allowed him to go as well.
With their departure, there was no longer anything to worry about.
"Ah, I must return to the Star Cloud Sect. I just hope that no one in the sect discovers what I've done."
