Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Sect PursuitQiu Zhan was covered in blood, his hair and clothes in complete disarray, as he glared furiously at the four individuals standing before him, his mouth spewing an unending stream of curses. Yet, he couldn’t move his body in the slightest, as if his acupoints had been sealed by someone. Qiu Yuzhi’s body was softly leaning against her husband, her head hanging low, her breath weak as if it might stop at any moment. What surprised Fang Bai was that the four people standing in front of the couple, Qiu Zhan and his wife, were all high rank Profound Level Martial Artists. Fang Bai immediately felt that the situation was somewhat tricky. If the strength of those four had been weaker, Fang Bai could have easily intervened to rescue them, but facing four martial artists of the same realm as himself, Fang Bai held no more than a ten percent chance of victory. If he were to forcefully attempt a rescue, Fang Bai worried that not only might he fail to save them, but he might also lose his own life in the process. Assessing the situation, it was clear that the four High Rank Profound Level Martial Artists had ill intentions, and should they start to kill, Fang Bai couldn’t just stand by and watch someone die, could he? Fang Bai turned his head and glanced at Qiu Mingyue, whom he had placed on the ground; she was biting her lip in anger, glaring at him in a misunderstanding. "Do you see? Your parents are right there in front of us, they’ve been taken here, and it looks quite bad," Fang Bai quietly said, aiding Qiu Mingyue to sit up and pointing towards the six figures ahead. Concerned that his voice might reach the ears of those four Profound Level High Rank Martial Artists, he used the "Thread Condensation Sound Transmission" technique. This technique, known as "Thread Condensation Sound Transmission," involves condensing one’s voice into a thin thread that travels directly to the listener’s ears, in this case, Qiu Mingyue’s, ensuring that unless the martial artists’ cultivation levels far surpassed Fang Bai’s, they wouldn’t hear him. "Thread Condensation Sound Transmission" is a profound skill, one which can’t be performed unless one has reached the Profound Level realm. While Qiu Mingyue’s eyesight wasn’t nearly as good as Fang Bai’s, aided by the light of the stars and moon, she could make out the six figures and even discern that the two sitting figures were her parents. Qiu Mingyue, unable to speak or move, conveyed her emotions clearly through her distinct, expressive eyes. In them, Fang Bai could see her intense excitement, and they carried an unmistakable plea for help. "I understand, you want me to save your parents... Rest assured, I will think of a way. But those four are formidable; each of them is as formidable as your father. Saving them won’t be easy!" Fang Bai sighed, speaking softly. Upon hearing Fang Bai, the deep plea in Qiu Mingyue’s eyes transformed into worry, anxiety, and even a hint of despair. Having always considered her father the most formidable man on earth, and idolizing him since childhood, Qiu Mingyue only realized there were people even more powerful than her father when she witnessed him, along with her mother, being captured. In Qiu Mingyue’s eyes, although Fang Bai knew some martial arts, he surely couldn’t compare to her father. Asking him to defeat four individuals as formidable as her father seemed more difficult than ascending to the heavens. "One against four, I certainly can’t win. Therefore, to save your parents, we must rely on wit rather than force," Fang Bai whispered, his eyes shining brighter than the stars above, flickering with resolute fighting spirit. Just then, voices suddenly emerged from ahead; the four standing martial artists began to speak. "Senior Brother Baili, when you defected from our sect years ago, eloping with Jiang Yuzhi and spending over a decade hidden away, you probably didn’t expect that we would still find you, did you?" The speaker was a middle-aged man cloaked in a black robe, his long hair concealing half of his face. The man spoke with a voice deeply sinister, as if it emerged from hell itself, sending shivers down one’s spine. Upon hearing the names "Baili Zhan" and "Jiang Yuzhi", Fang Bai realized these were the true names of the married couple. Then, the woman by their side named Qiu Mingyue must also be called Baili Mingyue now. Sitting on the ground, Baili Zhan suddenly burst into uproarious laughter and spoke loudly, "Cuihun, Senior Brother, ever since I took Yuzhi and left our sect, I knew this day would come. However, having spent over a decade happily together with Yuzhi, I am content." The long-haired middle-aged man called "Cuihun" sneered, "These years must have been far from happiness for you, I guess?" He pointed at Jiang Yuzhi leaning against Baili Zhan, and continued, "This wretch was poisoned by the ’Man-Eating Flower’ all those years ago. Though she didn’t die for over a decade, she must have lived a fate worse than death. You spent over a decade with a woman who could do nothing for you, what’s there to be happy about?" Baili Zhan murmured, "You wouldn’t understand... You wouldn’t understand... I love Yuzhi; even if she’s broken or flawed, as long as she’s by my side, I feel happy..." "Baili Zhan, you defected from the sect, and according to the sect rules, you must be executed. Do you have any last words before you die?" The dark-faced man beside Cuihun asked in a muffled voice. Baili Zhan’s gaze settled on the dark-faced man, and he smiled tragically, "To hunt us down, Ghost Doctor Valley dispatched Cuihun and Life-Snatching, while Yunnv Sect sent Mo Ling and Mo Ming... Ah, how virtuous and able we must be as a couple to force four Profound Level High Rank Martial Artists from two great Hidden Sects to emerge. What an extravagant effort!" The two female martial artists from "Yunnv Sect" were both in their mid-thirties, each wielding a three-foot-long sword. With flowing long hair and fluttering white dresses, they would have been beauties, but both bore such cold expressions that they were more likely to be revered from a distance. The two female martial artists hailed from the Hidden Sect "Yunnv Sect". The one with the round face was Mo Ling, while the one with the oval face was Mo Ming, and they were sisters. "Senior Brother Baili, don’t blame us." Mo Ling, looking at the woefully smiling Baili Zhan and the dying Jiang Yuzhi, was slightly moved, but then her expression turned cold again, and she said, "In our Hidden Sect, defection is punishable by death, you should be aware of that. It’s just that you and Jiang Yuzhi should never have eloped..." Baili Zhan shouted, "Yuzhi and I loved each other. Ghost Doctor Valley and Yunnv Sect obstructed us, forcing us apart, even going as far as not sparing our daughter... Now tell me, Junior Sister Mo, if we hadn’t fled, could our family have stayed together?" Mo Ling was at a loss for words.

Let’s kill Jiang Yuzhi and return to report to our sect!" She then addressed Cuihun and Life-Snatching from Ghost Doctor Valley, "Senior Brothers, Baili Zhan is from your sect, so it should be you who deals with him." "Very well." Cuihun nodded, looked at Baili Zhan and Jiang Yuzhi sitting on the ground, and said with a sinister smile, "Junior Brother Baili, since you cannot be husband and wife in the world of the living, continue your bond in hell! Oh, and by the way, you have a daughter, don’t you? Don’t worry, we’ll find her soon enough to join you both." "The sins should not touch the family, my daughter is innocent!" Baili Zhan’s eyes were near bursting with rage; if he could move his body, he would have leapt up and fought to the death against the four people before him. "Sorry, these are the Valley Master’s orders. The old man said, ’When cutting grass, one must remove the roots to prevent it from growing back with the spring breeze.’ These words are truly wise, aren’t they!"
