Chapter 638 The Sea Clan Chief Reappears
"Then when the time comes..."
Yuwen Ze's lips trembled, as if he had imagined the most terrible consequences.
"If Yang Yumo were to release the news that she possesses the Rejuvenation Pill, and that this medicine can reverse aging, the entire martial arts world would inevitably descend into bloodshed once again! Everyone would resort to any means to seize the pill and kill each other!"
These words immediately stirred up the worst memories in Hua Mu'an and Ling Xuzi's hearts. Back then, some people, in order to compete for Bai Yue who possessed the Nine Yang Meridians, forced her to jump off a cliff and fake her death in order to escape a calamity.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely heavy. Just then, Bai Yue clapped her hands.
"It's alright. As the saying goes, when soldiers come, generals will block them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Although the situation is more difficult than we expected, our goal has never changed!"
Her gaze swept over the crowd, her eyes resolute.
"Whether Yang Yumo is old and frail or in her prime, what we need to do is rescue those deceived followers, expose her conspiracy, and set everything right!"
"Yes! I will obey Your Majesty's decree!"
Su Yunxiu and Su Xiuyun exchanged a glance, then bowed to Bai Yue without hesitation. Seeing the still worried looks in the eyes of the others, Bai Yue smiled confidently.
"Don't forget! I'm the One-Punch Hero, White Plague God, with my own aura of bad luck! What can a mere younger Yang Yumo do to me? She might trip over a rock and fall down before she even gets a chance to attack me!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh at her words. Just as they were about to chime in, Ling Xuzi's expression changed, and he suddenly raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"A group of people is rapidly approaching this area! Everyone, stay alert!"
"A team of people? Could they be Yang Yumo's henchmen?"
Just as everyone was speculating, Bai Yue made a decisive decision and said to Ruoxu.
"If it's false, do it immediately!"
The other party immediately understood, took out the shackles that Bai Yue had given her, and neatly handcuffed Bai Yue.
"Goddess! This..."
This series of actions completely baffled Su Xiuyun and Su Yunxiu, while Bai Yue shook her head at them and explained in a low voice.
"As the plan requires, elders, please remain calm and cooperate."
"Yes!"
Although the two were full of doubts, they still nodded reluctantly. Soon, a group of about twenty people appeared in everyone's sight. They were all dressed in the same dark-colored Wu ethnic clothing and had curved knives at their waists. Moreover, Bai Yue found some of them quite familiar. After thinking carefully, she realized that they were the villagers from Wanghai Village.
"Grandpa Hai?"
Bai Yue discovered that the one on the left of the two leaders was the chief of the Hai tribe in Wanghai Village.
When the other person's gaze swept over Bai Yue, who was bound by shackles, their pupils contracted almost imperceptibly, but quickly returned to calm. Then, the Sea Clan Chief stepped forward first and, according to the etiquette of the sect, respectfully bowed to Ruo Xu.
"Your subordinate Hai Bohan, on the orders of the leader, has come to welcome the young leader and Chief Su's entourage. The leader is aware that the young leader has captured the criminal and is returning in triumph, and has ordered his subordinates to escort him along the way."
The middle-aged man on the right, who was about forty years old and had puffy eye bags, also bowed to Ruoxu along with the sea clan chief. However, his movements were extremely perfunctory and careless, and his gaze had already passed over Ruoxu and was fixed on Su Ling Shuang beside him.
"Oh my, Chief Su! It's only been a few days, but you're still as beautiful as ever, absolutely stunning!"
After the ceremony, the middle-aged man immediately put on a big smile, moved closer to Su Ling Shuang, and spoke in a fawning tone.
"You actually captured that audacious 'fake goddess' with your own hands this time, which is a tremendous contribution to our Holy Sect! The Sect Leader says you will be richly rewarded when you return!"
Su Ling Shuang didn't even glance at him, only letting out a cold snort from her nose as she turned to avoid the man's spittle, her face full of undisguised disgust.
The man, having been rebuffed, stiffened his smile, then turned his gaze to Su Lingbing beside him.
He moved closer to the other person, his tone becoming even more cloying.
"Ling Bing! I heard you played a big part in capturing the criminal? Are you injured anywhere? Let Uncle Yang take a good look at you..."
As he spoke, the man actually reached out to grab Su Lingbing's wrist, intending to "check her injuries."
Elder Yang!
Su Ling Shuang's voice suddenly rang out.
"If you don't want your hands anymore, then feel free to touch my sister and see what happens."
The murderous aura she exuded instantly froze the man's outstretched hand in mid-air.
"Oh dear, Chief Su, you've misunderstood! I was just worried about your sister's safety, and I had absolutely no intention of offending her!"
The man's face darkened, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes, but he quickly replaced it with a smirk, withdrew his hand, and chuckled awkwardly.
After being rebuffed twice, the other party finally remembered the important matter. He turned his head and searched the crowd with his eyes.
"By the way, where is that 'fake goddess' now? Let me see who she is, daring to impersonate the goddess!"
"I am here."
Bai Yue raised her handcuffed hands and spoke calmly.
The moment the man saw her, his gaze, like a sticky, venomous snake, brazenly swept over Bai Yue's body.
"Wow! Even though she's an imposter, that face, that figure... tsk tsk, she does have a bit of what a 'goddess' should look like!"
Bai Yue's exquisite beauty and her shackled posture seemed to arouse a twisted excitement in the man. He licked his lips and muttered to himself.
"The sect leader detests this 'fake' to the core. Hehe, I can help the sect leader by getting this 'fake' and giving her a good 'lesson,' letting her know the consequences of impersonating a goddess..."
These blatant remarks instantly turned the faces of the cross-dressing men standing near Bai Yue ashen, their fists clenching. They clearly wanted to kill this lecherous man who coveted Bai Yue on the spot!
When the sea clan chief heard this, he frowned slightly. He took a step forward without making a sound, and stood between the man and Bai Yue.
"Elder Yang, the leader's order is for the two of us to lead a team to 'welcome and escort' the young leader and his party back to the main altar safely. Now that we have received them, we should not delay any longer, lest something go wrong along the way and we fail the leader's trust."
The other party's words were impeccable, but Elder Yang snorted coldly, looking completely unconvinced.
"Hai Bohan, how dare you, a mere servant, instruct me on how to do things? What, have you Hai Clan grown too powerful now, trying to ride roughshod over our Yang Clan?"
The other party's words were extremely harsh, clearly an attempt to suppress the sea tribe and highlight the nobility of their "Yang tribe".
