Chapter 716: Chapter 716: "Yunnv Sect" Sect Leader

Fang Bai skimmed through the streets and alleys of Yanjing City, pushing his movement technique to the limit in order to return to the courtyard house as quickly as possible. Pedestrians along the way could barely catch a glimpse of his shadow, feeling only a breeze whisk past them.

As Fang Bai dashed along, his mind pondered some questions related to the "Yunnv Sect."

Baili Zhan was a "Ghost Doctor Valley" disciple, and Jiang Yuzhi was a "Yunnv Sect" disciple. The couple eloped with their daughter years ago, seeking a life amid the mundane world, and were pursued by high-level martial artists from their respective sects. In a twist of fate, they encountered Fang Bai, who was fortunately able to help them evade disaster.

Afterward, "Ghost Doctor Valley" sent several assassins in succession to kill Baili Zhan’s family, each more powerful than the last, but there was no action from the "Yunnv Sect." For a time, Baili Zhan and his wife believed that the benevolence of the "Yunnv Sect" Leader had prevailed, sparing them from further pursuit.

Yet, the "Yunnv Sect" appeared in Yanjing out of the blue and abducted Baili Zhan and his wife.

The Jade Pendant that Fang Bai had imbued with killing intent was worn by both members of the Baili Zhan couple. While the Jade Pendant could withstand the attacks of Heaven Level Martial Artists, the killing intent it contained was limited to a few strands. Once depleted, Baili Zhan and his wife would lose their protection, leaving them vulnerable to stronger martial artists.

Just now, when Baili Mingyue relayed the words from Yang Xudong over the phone, she mentioned that this time, the "Yunnv Sect" had the Sect Leader accompanied by two Elders come into the secular world. Although Fang Bai did not know the "Yunnv Sect" Leader’s Cultivation Level, he guessed that there was a high possibility of her being a Heaven Level Martial Artist.

Because Fang Bai had previously used the "Soul Capture Technique" to extract information from "Ghost Doctor Valley" Elder Ji Chao, he learned that both "Ghost Doctor Valley" and "Yunnv Sect" were major sects in the Hidden Sect World with comparable overall strengths. If "Ghost Doctor Valley" Valley Master Li Ao’s cultivation was at the early stages of Heaven Level, then the "Yunnv Sect" Leader should be of a similar caliber.

The two Elders accompanying the "Yunnv Sect" Leader would also not be weaker than Ji Chao, at the very least high-ranking Earth Level martial artists.

A Heaven Level Martial Artist and two High-Rank Earth Level Martial Artists—if they intended to deal with the Baili Zhan couple, even with the protective Jade Pendants given by Fang Bai, the couple could only resist temporarily before eventually falling into their hands.

What puzzled Fang Bai, however, was why the three "Yunnv Sect" members did not kill the Baili Zhan couple on the spot and instead kidnapped them, and why they released Yang Xudong who was with them?

This question could only be answered by finding the abducted Baili Zhan couple.

Since the "Yunnv Sect" trio did not directly kill Baili Zhan and his wife, it implied they must have had some ulterior motive, and the couple should be safe for now.

Realizing this, Fang Bai no longer rushed.

When he returned to the courtyard house, he found the gate wide open, with Yang Xudong, Baili Mingyue, and Xiao Yu all standing in the yard.

Yang Xudong paced the yard in a frantic manner.

Baili Mingyue’s eyes were red and brimming with unceasing tears.

Xiao Yu stood by Baili Mingyue’s side, consoling her in a childlike voice not to cry.

Baili Mingyue, who practiced the Martial Arts Techniques taught by Fang Bai, sensed his approach as he neared the courtyard house. Looking up, she saw Fang Bai swirling in like a gust of wind.

"Fang Bai!"

Baili Mingyue, as if clutching at a lifeline, called out softly and threw herself at Fang Bai, grabbing one of his arms and vigorously shaking it, "Hurry, go save my parents..."

"Don’t panic!"

Fang Bai patted her hand and turned his gaze toward Yang Xudong, asking with a frown, "Brother Yang, where did you encounter the ’Yunnv Sect’ people? Where have Brother Baili and his wife been taken?"

Yang Xudong saw Fang Bai returned and obviously breathed a sigh of relief. When asked about it, he spoke urgently, "My fellow disciple and I were preparing to go to the furniture market to buy a few sets of furniture when we ran into the Sect Leader of Yunnv Sect, Yu Meiying, along with the two Elders, Zhuo Lanfeng and Ren Lijun..."

When he mentioned Yu Meiying, the Sect Leader of Yunnv Sect, his face showed a look of fear, and he spoke with lingering trepidation, "Originally, Yu Meiying was prepared to kill the three of us personally, but the Jade Pendant on our bodies unleashed its power, blocking her for a moment, and it almost injured her... Later, when the Jade Pendant lost its effect, Yu Meiying captured us, but she did not kill us. Instead, she demanded to know where we obtained the Jade Pendant..."

"Uncle Yang, did you tell her?"

Baili Mingyue asked tensely. Although she was frank and outspoken, she was also a very astute girl. Upon hearing Yang Xudong’s words, she knew that the Yunnv Sect Leader’s interrogation about the Jade Pendant must be due to its magical ability.

If the Yunnv Sect Leader found out that the Jade Pendant was a gift from Fang Bai, she might harm him, which was not something Baili Mingyue wanted to see.

Baili Mingyue had heard about the Yunnv Sect from her mother, Jiang Yuzhi. She knew the overall power of these Hidden Sects was formidable and worried that Fang Bai would be no match for them.

Yang Xudong shook his head and said, "Of course, we didn’t say anything. It’s just... it’s just that Yu Meiying used some kind of evil cultivation technique on my sister-in-law, and she ended up spilling everything..."

The "sister-in-law" he mentioned was none other than Baili Mingyue’s mother, Jiang Yuzhi.

"Ah? How could my mom do that!"

Upon hearing this, Baili Mingyue stomped her foot in frustration. In her view, Fang Bai had saved her family’s lives; her mother’s actions amounted to betrayal.

Fang Bai waved his hand and said sternly, "Mingyue, you can’t blame your mom! There are some martial arts techniques in this world that can control a person’s mind, capable of extracting every secret from the depths of their heart... Brother Yang, continue!"

Yang Xudong nodded and said to Fang Bai, "Yu Meiying learned from my sister-in-law that our Jade Pendants came from you, and that you have a good relationship with us. She let me go and sent me to tell you that if she doesn’t see you by the reservoir north of the city within two hours, she will... she will kill my fellow disciple and sister-in-law..."

Baili Mingyue’s face turned pale, her body swayed, and tears welled up in her eyes, threatening to spill over.

"Brother Yang, you stay here and take good care of Mingyue and Xiao Yu. I’ll be back soon!"

Having spoken, Fang Bai turned and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Fang Bai, be careful!"

Baili Mingyue knew Fang Bai was preparing to rescue her parents, wiped her teary red eyes, and spoke with concern.

In her heart, she really wanted to accompany Fang Bai, but she also understood that her own strength would only hold him back if she went along. So, she stayed home, quietly awaiting good news from Fang Bai.

Baili Mingyue firmly believed that there was nothing in this world that could trouble Fang Bai. He would surely rescue her parents.

"It’s the people of Yunnv Sect who should be careful!"

Fang Bai didn’t stop walking, nor did he look back as he spoke.

From his icy tone, both Yang Xudong and Baili Mingyue could feel a heavy killing intent.
