Chapter 315: The Midnight Demon

"You attacked me from behind."

Bai He could not sense any demonic aura at all, but this person was clearly a demon.

In this world, there were actually demons who could conceal their aura so perfectly.

Even the last time he saw Shi Ran and Shi Gui, they could not do this.

What kind of demon was this person?

"Little boy, I will give you one chance."

The man spoke and attacked again, his hand once more aimed at Bai He’s neck.

Bai He did not understand what kind of grudge this person had against his neck.

Filled with anger, Bai He’s years of cultivation were not wasted.

He had simply been caught off guard earlier, but now he quickly reacted.

A flash of surprise crossed the man’s expression.

He had not expected Bai He to fight back, nor had he expected that a seemingly young disciple could react so quickly.

It was truly unbelievable.

After exchanging several moves, he finally spoke with certainty.

"You are not a disciple of Qingluan Manor."

"Stop talking nonsense. Was the Manor Master taken away by you? Return him immediately, or you are finished."

The man let out a cold laugh, his voice carrying a hint of disdain.

"And just what can you do about it?"

Bai He was speechless.

If this person looked down on him, then fine, he had nothing to say about that.

But did this man really dare to look down on Lingguang Sect as well?

"Master, why do I smell demonic aura?"

As he spoke, Xu Feng rushed out of his room.

The moment he saw the scene outside, his expression immediately became serious.

"Master."

He quickly arrived at Bai He’s side.

Bai He said, "The Manor Master of Qingluan Manor was taken away by him. Capture him and hand him over to Senior Brother for judgment."

"Yes."

Xu Feng felt that it had been a very long time since he had seriously fought anyone.

Now that Ye Shiyuan was not here, such a rare opportunity had finally appeared.

There was no way he would let it pass.

In an instant, the Blue Lotus Sword immediately appeared in Xu Feng’s hand.

His gaze that was far fiercer than what someone his age should possess locked onto the man before him.

"The Blue Lotus Sword? So you are people from Lingguang Sect."

"Now you know fear, right? Since you know fear, return the Manor Master immediately. My Senior Brother is not someone you can afford to offend."

Bai He looked quite pleased with himself.

Being able to rescue the Manor Master of Qingluan Manor without lifting a finger would naturally be the best outcome.

Bai He did not want to fight, nor did he want to kill anyone.

What if he got injured?

That would not be worth it at all.

"Hahaha... so you are Yao Xiangli’s junior brother. If he personally came here, I would indeed be somewhat wary. But you..."

His gaze swept over Bai He.

"You are completely unknown. I have no idea where you found the courage to stand before me. Are you not afraid that I will capture you and eat you? By the time your Senior Brother comes looking for you, there probably will not even be any bones left behind."

His voice was low and heavy.

Even his expression carried a trace of intimidation as he stared fixedly at Bai He.

Bai He swallowed his saliva nervously.

"Stop trying to scare me. I was not raised to be frightened so easily. Sky Cutting Sword..."

As soon as Bai He called out its name, the Sky Cutting Sword appeared behind him together with its sword spirit.

In an instant, his entire presence rose dramatically.

It created the illusion that the man before him had to look up at him.

The man’s brows furrowed slightly.

He could not help but let out a cold laugh.

This was merely an illusion.

However, the Sky Cutting Sword...

He had never expected that a young man like Bai He would possess such astonishing compatibility with the Sky Cutting Sword.

It had already become, almost completely and utterly, Bai He’s personal sword.

Bai He raised his hand and the sword spirit behind him also raised its hand.

The sword spirit’s presence was incomparably vast, instantly suppressing the man before them.

Combined with Xu Feng’s restraint on him, there was no way for the man to fully withstand this attack.

"Boom!"

A deafening explosion erupted.

However, no one knew when the man had managed to evade Bai He’s attack.

"Little fellow, I’m not going to play with you anymore."

After saying that, he flew off into the distance.

The explosion in the courtyard woke Ma Hongjun.

He had not even had time to put on proper clothes before rushing out in a panic.

"What happened?"

When he saw the devastation throughout his courtyard, he cried out in alarm.

"My courtyard! Who did this? Xu Feng, was it you? Did you stay up all night causing trouble instead of sleeping?"

Bai He felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Sorry. I did it."

Ma Hongjun looked at him in disbelief.

"Bai He, you were cultivating in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Are you really that diligent?"

Bai He could not refute that.

He truly was not that diligent.

But he could not exactly say he was lazy either.

"Master, we should hurry and chase after him."

Xu Feng spoke coldly as he walked over.

In his hand was a small paper figurine.

During his fight with the man earlier, Xu Feng had already attached a possession talisman to him.

Perhaps it could lead them to the Manor Master of Qingluan Manor.

"Xiao Feng, whether I should say it or not, you’ve really become smarter and smarter since following me."

"Enough, Master. Stop taking credit for yourself. Hurry up and move."

As he spoke, Xu Feng urged him forward.

Ma Hongjun watched the two of them leave and only then realized what was happening.
