"You saying that makes me even more curious."
"After wasting so much of my time, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Bai Qianyi glanced at the old man and said softly.
The old man trembled involuntarily.
But when he thought of that thing, he still felt confident. After all, even in their virtual realm, he had never seen such a thing.
"Please rest assured, Divine Maiden."
The old man said respectfully.
"It's obvious at a glance."
Bai Qianyi waved her hand lightly, and the door in front of her opened automatically.
It was an ordinary grocery store.
In a corner nearby, an elderly couple embraced each other, watching Bai Qianyi with vigilance and fear in their eyes.
Bai Qianyi just gave them a casual glance and fixed her gaze directly on the painting on the wall.
"The power of the Great Dao."
"Indeed, it's a good thing."
She curled her lips.
Obviously, she was quite surprised to be able to see such a painting here.
"Divine Maiden, there is also a statue placed there on the cabinet," the old man pointed to the statue placed on the counter.
"Oh?"
Bai Qianyi turned her head to look.
Indeed.
There was still a statue on the counter.
The statue depicted a figure wearing a black robe with a pattern of red auspicious clouds on the robe. His eyes were cold, he had six nose rings, and he wore a headband on his forehead with a pattern of four vertical lines and one horizontal line.
At first glance, it seemed unremarkable, but when Bai Qianyi looked closely, her pupils suddenly contracted.
She could clearly feel the immense power contained within the statue.
"I didn't expect that this small mortal shop would still conceal such a good thing."
She approached and carefully examined it.
Outside the shop, Ye Neng and his daughter Ye Yi, who were hiding in the dark, showed a solemn expression.
"Father, how did Bai Qianyi suddenly come to Miss Wu's house?" Ye Yi asked with concern.
"She was probably attracted by Miss Wu's painting and statue." Ye Neng speculated, "But the Mister is truly unfathomable. He probably foresaw that Bai Qianyi would come here, so he specifically instructed us to come to the City of Bai Er."
"What about us?"
Ye Yi looked at Ye Neng.
"We must go up. We absolutely cannot let Bai Qianyi succeed."
Ye Neng's face flickered with anger as he said in a deep voice, "Daring to take the Mister's things, they must have the courage of a bear and the heart of a leopard."
"But can we stop Bai Qianyi?" Ye Yi couldn't help asking.
"Don't worry, since the Mister told us to come, he must have a plan. He won't send us to our deaths," Ye Neng said firmly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Yi nodded solemnly.
The two of them turned into two streaks of light and dashed towards the small shop.
"What are these two father and daughter doing?"
"Do they think they have become Earth Immortals and can match Bai Qianyi?"
"Could it be that they are tired of living and are going to seek death?"
In the shadows, when the four sect leaders saw Ye Neng and his daughter decisively rushing towards the small shop, they couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"Stop."
"Put down what you have in your hands."
Ye Neng and Ye Yi arrived at the entrance of the small shop and shouted at Bai Qianyi.
At the same time, they quickly signaled to Wu's parents.
Seeing this, the couple hastily fled from the backyard.
"Oh?"
Bai Qianyi didn't pay any attention to the departure of the couple and instead slowly set down the statue in her hands. She turned her head and looked at Ye Neng and the others, revealing a slight surprise.
"Not only did you pull out my Soul-Suppressing Nail, but you two useless fools also broke through to the Earth Immortal realm."
"It's a bit unexpected," she said with a faint smile.
"Hmph, don't act so high and mighty. Let me warn you, you better put down what's in your hands," Ye Neng said in a low voice.
"Put it down?" Bai Qianyi's body went cold, and as soon as the words fell, she was already in front of Ye Neng. Her icy hand had already grabbed his neck, making a grating sound.
"Since when did a mere Earth Immortal dare to be so arrogant in front of us?" Bai Qianyi's voice rang out word by word, and at the same time, she slowly exerted force, making Ye Neng's neck creak.
Ye Neng endured immense pain, his face turning red, but he still managed to speak with a hoarse voice filled with hatred, "This belongs to the Master. Without the Master's permission, if you dare to touch it, you won't be able to withstand his anger."
"Hehehe..." Bai Qianyi coldly chuckled.
"What I, Bai Qianyi, need, I can obtain it without fail, and no one can stop me. Let alone you two insignificant Earth Immortals, even if your so-called Master comes in person, he will only kneel obediently before me."
"You..." Ye Neng glared at Bai Qianyi with hatred, trembling with anger.
"I would love for your so-called Master to come find me," Bai Qianyi said coldly. "After all, I don't have time to look for that cowardly turtle. So, I'm wondering, if I kill you two, will he come find me?"
"Hmph, if the Master takes action, you won't even have a chance to fight back," Ye Neng said word by word.
"Fine, fine, fine," Bai Qianyi said.
"Then I look forward to him coming to find me."
"But you two, you can die first!"
With a slight movement of Bai Qianyi's hands, she grabbed one person's neck in each hand, lifting them up.
Clearly, in the face of Bai Qianyi's methods, even though the two had broken through to the Earth Immortal realm, they still had no power to fight back.
For a moment, the two of them struggled like little chicks, their faces turning red, and their legs thrashing about.
"What should we do?"
"Should we just watch them die?"
"Shouldn't we take action?"
In the distance, the four Sect Masters who were secretly observing this scene anxiously spoke as they watched Ye Neng and the others who were about to die.
However, although they said that, the four of them didn't make a move.
Not only was it uncertain whether their actions would be effective, but it was also clear that Ye Neng and the two Earth Immortals were still powerless in the face of Bai Qianyi. They had underestimated her.
As a result, they didn't dare to easily take sides.
"Boom!"
Just then, a loud noise erupted from the grocery store.
At the same time, a powerful aura shot up into the sky.
Bai Qianyi, who was about to crush Ye Neng and the others, felt the presence behind her and her expression changed.
She turned around and saw that the aura was emanating from the statue behind her.
u serious?" Chen Feng watched helplessly as his painstakingly trained disciple, fresh off a championship victory, publicly abandoned him. "You had your chance, but you didn’t appreciate it. Now, face the consequences of your choice!" Chen Feng possessed the "Master System," a treasure trove of supreme martial arts techniques, capable of molding ordinary individuals into peerless prodigies. "Legs like yours? A shame not to train in the Crippling Kick." "Ever heard of a palm strike that descends from the heavens?" "Auntie! I see extraordinary bone structure in you—a martial arts prodigy, one in ten thousand." The once-defiant senior disciple, now watching her juniors rise to fame one after another, dominating the internet, was consumed by endless regret.
