Chapter 154 I Advise You to Think It Through Before You Speak
"Young Master, please forgive us... I..."
Before the Fire Envoy could finish speaking, Li Jie, who had been standing to the side with his arms crossed, interrupted him.
"I advise you to think carefully before you speak."
Ok?
I didn't even notice there was someone standing next to me...
Upon hearing Li Jie's voice, the Fire Envoy unconsciously shook his head.
No matter who's here today, the outcome will be the same...
No one can survive the wrath of the Baili family. Even a powerful expert like him, who is at the 'Sea' Realm, is nothing more than a dog kept by the Baili family.
"It's no use... Even if you add another person, the result will be the same. Young master, rest in peace. If I have the chance, I'll burn some offerings for you during festivals. Please... don't..."
Before the word "blame" was uttered, Li Jie's figure appeared beside the Fire Envoy like a ghost.
His arm gently rested on the latter's shoulder, and his cold, indifferent voice rang in the Fire Envoy's ears.
"I'll give you one more chance... Speak properly..."
Wow!
A gentle breeze swept by, and upon hearing Li Jie's voice, the Fire Envoy instantly felt a chill run through his body.
Just now, he suddenly felt an extremely sharp aura flash past him.
Then, the strange white-haired boy came to his side.
Even more terrifying, he had a premonition when Li Jie put his arm on his shoulder...
If I were to fight back now, it might only take a moment before I had to say goodbye to this bizarre and wonderful world...
The air below the cliff seemed to freeze at that moment.
Li Jie's cold gaze swept over the other three forbidden artifact envoys and other investigators.
With a thought, the overwhelming power of the [World Loses Its Color] domain was unleashed.
Within the black and white space, his majestic voice resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
"Who agrees to continue protecting Baili Tuming behind me? Who... disagrees?"
Gudong!
Aside from the Fire Envoy who was beside Li Jie, the Wind Envoy was the closest to the two of them.
As his voice faded, a look of fear involuntarily appeared on Feng Shi's face.
Afterwards, he couldn't help but swallow hard.
Just how powerful is this...?
In just a moment, the four forbidden artifact wielders, who could fight 'Boundless' together, lost their desire to resist.
Meanwhile, a man further away, wearing a replica of the "Yaoguang" hooded garment, thought of the life of wealth and luxury that Baili Jing had promised him.
But he spoke up as if possessed.
"Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Baili family for doing this?"
"I will report today's events truthfully, and you will be stripped of your titles as Forbidden Artifact Envoys. At that point, you'll be nothing more than powerless mutts..."
"I....."
Hearing his voice, Li Jie laughed as he turned his gaze to the hooded man who was courting death.
The latter also suddenly fell silent. Gradually, he clutched his neck in pain, unable to utter a sound as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat.
Li Jie extended his finger and gently touched the hooded man with a hunched back, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.
In fact, Li Jie's meaning was very simple: to make an example of someone.
If I kill them all, Baili Xin will definitely become suspicious. If I spare their lives and use them for my own purposes, I might be able to kill them unexpectedly at the birthday banquet!
Of course, Li Jie had absolutely no confidence in these opportunists, but it was better than nothing.
I never expected that the hooded man who was keeping watch would be so brave!
He still dares to show his face now; I wonder what benefits that bastard Baili Jing gave him...
Take back your thoughts.
Li Jie glanced around the arena again and, seeing that they had all given up resisting, withdrew [The World Loses Its Color].
He lowered the arm that had been pressing on the Fire Envoy's shoulder, walked over to Baili Pangpang, helped him up, and said softly.
"Let's go, Brother Li will take you home... if that's still your home."
Now it was Fatty's turn to fall silent. He wasn't sure if his father was still on his side. Judging from the actions of the Forbidden Artifact Envoys, they must have received a mission to assassinate him.
But he couldn't be sure whether this task was given by his own father or by Baili Jing overstepping his authority.
"Brother Lei...should we go back?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie smiled slightly.
He pulled the bewildered chubby boy towards the top of the cliff.
"Of course we have to go back, otherwise wouldn't that just be letting those bastards get away with it?"
The four forbidden objects of earth, fire, wind, and water watched the two people walking upwards, not knowing what to do for a moment, until Li Jie's voice came, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Do not tell anyone what happened today. If anyone asks, say you have never seen us. We'll see which side you choose at the birthday banquet. If you choose the wrong side, you won't have such good luck today..."
...........
Outside the Baili Manor, Li Jie led Fatty to the tightly closed gate.
Both of their gazes were fixed on the detached white villa standing on the vast plain.
Before long, the sudden appearance of the two people attracted the attention of the guards. When they went to check, they found that the newcomers should be the young master who had been dead for a long time.
This left them at a loss for what to do.
Inside the dark iron gate, two guards looked embarrassed and spoke sarcastically.
"Young Master...you...you...you're back?"
Baili Pangpang's expression was very calm. Judging from the behavior of the two guards, he was about 70-80% certain about what had happened in the dream.
However, he still wanted to try. If he was wrong about everything, then no matter what, there was no way to mend the rift between him and his son.
"Open the door."
"Um...um...please wait a moment while I go in and report..."
Upon hearing this, Baili Pangpang, whose expression was calm, suddenly turned to look at the timid guard and spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Since when do I need to ask someone for permission to go back to my own home?"
With a flash of light, the [One Transforms into Three Thousand] technique emerged from his chest and landed on his palm.
He stood before the black iron gate that seemed to isolate him from the world and spoke in a completely emotionless voice.
"I'll say it again, open the door for me!"
As his words fell, [One Transforms into Three Thousand] instantly split into countless sword shadows, pointing directly at the gate, as if to say...
If you don't open the door, I'll do it myself.
Now, the two guards opened the gate with trepidation.
No matter how much internal strife the Baili family experiences, those in power are always the ones who get hurt. Since they can't stop it, they might as well not try.
After Li Jie and Baili Pangpang's figures had walked away into the distance.
The more alert guard quickly ran to the guard booth, took out a walkie-talkie, and spoke in a low voice.
"The young master is back alive..."
