Chapter 621: The Beginning of Long Haotian’s Misfortune
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Bai Zihan had instructed Kong Zhanhong long ago to keep an eye on various suspicious individuals entering the Desolate Heaven Empire.And that naturally included Long Haotian and his two bodyguards.
The three had been on his radar ever since they appeared in the Capital with their luxurious carriage.
From the very beginning, they had been suspected to be outsiders. And clearly, that judgment had not been mistaken.
Of course, they were not the only suspicious individuals.
There were also several other groups suspected to have come from outside the Desolate Heaven Empire.
Through the intelligence network Kong Zhanhong had painstakingly built over the years, reports continuously flowed in from every major city.
Thus, Bai Zihan learned about Long Haotian’s movements almost immediately.
Including the moment they departed from the Capital and headed toward the Heaven Sword Sect.
The moment Bai Zihan received that report, his closed eyes slowly opened.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
"Heaven Sword Sect..."
Although he did not know why they were going there, he immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity.
Because the current Sect Leader, Han Sha, was under his control.
If he wished to move against someone inside the Heaven Sword Sect, things would become much easier with Han Sha’s cooperation.
As for what he intended to do with them was simple.
Capture them and interrogate them.
No matter how much he observed them, Bai Zihan still could not determine their true objective.
He knew they were searching for something.
That much was obvious.
Yet what exactly they sought remained unclear.
Therefore, he planned to capture them and interrogate them personally.
After all, people from the Central Glorious Continent won’t travel thousands upon thousands of miles for trivial matters.
There had to be a reason.
Something important enough to attract their interest toward the Desolate Heaven Empire.
And if such a thing truly existed then Bai Zihan needed to know exactly what it was.
Bai Zihan held no personal hostility toward the three.
But unfortunately for them, they had chosen to head toward a place where it would become very easy for him to deal with them.
After making his decision, Bai Zihan immediately issued an order.
"Summon Grand Elder Bai Ren and Grand Elder Bai Chu."
Bai Zihan had no intention of mobilizing the entire Bai Clan.
Not only would that be unnecessary, but it would also alert the enemy.
Besides, the Heaven Sword Sect itself already possessed more than enough manpower.
Thus, he only chose to bring the two strongest Bai Clan Grand Elders.
Because he knew very well that the three outsiders would not be simple opponents.
Their cultivation might even rival Qin Lingxiao.
Therefore, he naturally could not be careless.
Soon afterward, Bai Zihan quietly arrived at the Heaven Sword Sect and followed the three toward the Sect Arena.
Bai Zihan frowned slightly.
"The arena?"
His expression became somewhat strange.
At that moment, Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan were currently engaged in their duel.
Why would these outsiders head there?
To watch a fight?
Bai Zihan genuinely found it difficult to understand.
"Do they have that much free time?"
He honestly wondered.
Thus, accompanied by Bai Ren and Bai Chu, he quietly entered the arena.
To avoid attracting attention, he concealed his appearance and suppressed his aura.
From beginning to end, nobody noticed his arrival.
Then he silently watched everything unfold.
Truthfully speaking, he did not pay much attention to the duel itself.
Instead, most of his focus remained on Long Haotian and the two old men.
Then Long Haotian suddenly interrupted the duel.
And publicly declared that Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan were worthy of becoming his wives.
Bai Zihan stood silently within the crowd.
"..."
For a moment, he genuinely became speechless.
Then he nearly face-palmed.
He had spent so much effort trying to determine Long Haotian’s objective.
Was this really it?
Was marrying women truly his purpose?
It didn’t seem likely.
Yet somehow, the man’s focus had completely shifted toward Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan.
Bai Zihan suddenly felt disappointed.
Beside him, Bai Ren and Bai Chu’s expressions immediately darkened.
A terrifying pressure flickered within their eyes.
The moods of the two elders instantly became terrible.
Someone had appeared out of nowhere and publicly declared his intention to marry a princess of the Bai Clan.
Who gave him such courage?
And worse, Long Haotian was not merely targeting Bai Xueqing.
He was also targeting Chu Ziyan, Bai Zihan’s fiancee.
Yet this stranger openly declared that he wanted to take her for himself.
The two elders were already suppressing the urge to rush out and teach him a lesson.
Had it not been for Bai Zihan stopping them, they likely would have acted long ago.
Meanwhile, Bai Zihan remained calm.
He simply continued watching.
One thing after another.
The rejection.
The arguments.
The arrogant declarations.
The increasingly shameless behavior.
And finally, Long Haotian decided that he would defeat him personally.
He would force Bai Zihan to cancel the engagement.
Then marry Bai Xueqing and Chu Ziyan himself.
Bai Zihan rubbed his forehead.
Even he was beginning to feel mentally exhausted.
"This fellow..."
For the first time in a long while, Bai Zihan genuinely did not know what to say.
Eventually, Long Haotian demanded to know his whereabouts.
Then he declared that he would personally go find him.
Bai Zihan sighed softly.
At that point, there was no longer any reason to remain hidden.
After all, this was an excellent opportunity.
Thus, Bai Zihan finally stepped forward.
His gaze landed directly upon Long Haotian.
A faint smile appeared on his face.
Then his calm voice echoed throughout the arena.
"There is no need. I am here!"
The moment the voice echoed throughout the arena, countless gazes immediately turned toward him.
Long Haotian’s eyes narrowed slightly.
His gaze carefully swept over Bai Zihan.
Then he turned toward the Shen Clan disciple beside him.
Long Haotian pointed toward the approaching figure.
"Is he Bai Zihan?"
The Shen Clan disciple instinctively stiffened.
The moment his eyes landed on Bai Zihan, a trace of fear flashed across them.
His scalp instantly went numb.
His heartbeat accelerated.
After all, this was Bai Zihan.
Hatred was one thing.
Fear was another.
If Bai Zihan were absent, he naturally dared to scheme against him.
But now that Bai Zihan was personally standing before him...
The pressure was entirely different.
Still, after glancing toward Long Haotian and remembering the terrifying cultivation and background behind him, the disciple forcibly steadied himself.
He immediately nodded vigorously.
"Y-Yes! That’s Bai Zihan!"
"There is absolutely no mistake!"
Upon receiving confirmation, Long Haotian’s eyes instantly brightened.
A smile spread across his face.
Excellent!
Truly excellent!
Originally, he had planned to waste time searching for Bai Zihan personally.
Instead, the man had delivered himself directly to him.
What could be more convenient?
Long Haotian’s mood instantly improved.
At the very least, Bai Zihan had saved him the trouble of searching.
Thus, Long Haotian burst into laughter.
"Hahaha!"
His laughter echoed throughout the arena.
Then he looked directly toward Bai Zihan.
His eyes shone with excitement.
"Good! You’ve arrived at exactly the right time!"
His tone carried genuine satisfaction.
As though Bai Zihan had just done him an enormous favor.
Meanwhile, Bai Zihan merely glanced at Long Haotian.
Then his gaze shifted toward the two old men standing behind him.
His eyes lingered on them briefly.
The two old men immediately felt a faint sense of discomfort.
Most people would become nervous when facing two Immortal Realm experts.
Yet Bai Zihan looked at them as though he were calmly evaluating ordinary cultivators.
The feeling was extremely strange.
Meanwhile, Long Haotian remained completely oblivious.
He pointed toward Bai Xueqing.
Then toward Chu Ziyan.
His actions were so natural that they almost appeared reasonable.
"I’ll keep this simple."
Long Haotian continued confidently.
"Your sister and your fiancee have both caught my eye."
Bai Ren’s eyelid twitched violently.
Bai Chu’s face darkened completely.
Long Haotian, however, continued speaking without noticing anything unusual.
"So I need you to do two things."
He raised one finger.
"First. Allow me to marry your sister."
Then he raised a second finger.
"Second. Cancel your engagement with Chu Ziyan, so that I can marry her."
His tone remained completely serious.
As though these were perfectly reasonable requests.
"Of course, I will compensate you generously!"
