Chapter 785: The Hundred Miles Family
Star City.
The mansion of the Baili family.
Bailiqi, who had just met Huo San and the others, was kneeling in the main hall.
On the main seat, a hale and hearty old man sat upright.
Leopard head with ring eyes, swallow jaw and tiger beard, broad shoulders and thick back, strong limbs, half-naked upper body with bulging muscles, like hills.
Ordinary people will feel an invisible pressure just by looking at him, and it will become difficult to breathe.
This is Baili Xiao, the old Patriarch of the Baili Family.
Originally, he passed down the position of Patriarch a hundred years ago and retreated behind the scenes, but now he showed up because of an incident he just learned, and regained his prestige as Patriarch.
"Unfilial son!"
"Who asked you to cooperate with the Sikong family?"
"Those are a bunch of sinister, cunning, and evil-doing beasts. Didn't you go to cooperate with them to shame the Baili family?"
"Believe it or not, I will destroy you directly!"
Baili Xiao slapped the table and stood up suddenly, raising his big fan-like hands high up, looking like he couldn't help but want to do it directly.
But then he was stopped by another burly middle-aged man beside him.
"Father, calm down first."
"If you really cripple your second brother now, you will probably regret it tonight!"
Baili Xiao froze for a moment, seeming to think that was the case.
So he withdrew the Spirit Power at hand, and punched him with his physical strength alone.
"Bang", a sound.
Bailiqi flew out of the main hall like a meteorite, and was immediately embedded in a thick wall made of various metals on the opposite side of the main hall.
For a moment, the entire Baili Mansion was trembling non-stop.
"Second brother! Second brother!" shouted the middle-aged man, rushing to the wall.
"Second brother, are you okay..."
"I...it's fine..." Bailiqi's voice was inaudible.
"Okay, okay, it's fine, Dage, when you come out these few days..."
I saw the middle-aged man skillfully slapping behind the wall, and the whole person flew out in response, and fell to the ground with a plop, several of the floor tiles were smashed.
Then, the middle-aged man quickly stepped forward and pulled Bailiqi up, looking towards the main hall.
"Father, you're being too ruthless. I'm afraid the wall will have to be replaced again..."
"What's the matter, isn't it just a wall, if it breaks, replace it!" A nonchalant response came from the main hall.
"Come on, change the wall!"
Not long after the words were finished, I saw a few tall and strong young men walking over with an identical wall on their shoulders.
Judging by the heavy steps, it seems to be quite strenuous.
"Patriarch!" Several people saluted at the same time.
"Come on, let's go to work, remember not to throw the replaced one, it can be recast!" The middle-aged man who supported Bailiqi ordered.
Changing the wall is nothing unusual in Baili's house.
Especially some important positions.
Main hall, meeting hall, martial arts arena...
Basically, these places have to be changed every three to five times.
Fortunately, the ancestors still passed down some casting technology, otherwise, relying solely on the stone brick wall, if someone flies out casually, he will have to rush out of the city.
There is no way, the ancestral violent temper of the Baili family can't be lost without losing any traditions.
"Bailixuan, bring your second brother in!" Bailixiao's voice came again from the main hall.
"Yes, Father!" The middle-aged man responded, and rushed into the house with Bailiqi supported.
He didn't dare to neglect, for fear that the wall would have to be replaced one step later, and he would become the one who was framed on it.
"Bailiqi, do you know your mistake?" Bailixiao turned his back to the two of them.
"I know I was wrong..."
"What's wrong?"
"My son shouldn't have anything to do with the Sikong family..."
"Is it because of this?" Baili Xiao turned around abruptly, "It's your fault that you shouldn't have believed what the Sikong family said!"
"Do you think that if you really lead them to find the Shencheng Tongtian Road, they will give us the medicine?"
"This is a scam from start to finish! You fooled!"
Baili Xiao pointed at Bailiqi's nose and cursed, as if he hated iron for being weak.
"But you can't just watch Nephew Luoyun become a useless person like this." Bailiqi was full of unwillingness.
"When I took over this task, almost all the cities in this area knew about it. I don't believe that the Sikong family dared to risk public anger and refuse to pay..."
"You're confused!" Baili Xiao rushed to Bailiqi's side in three steps at a time, and poked the latter hard on the forehead.
"You think they won't play a trick behind the scenes?"
"Whether you find it or not, you and your mercenary group may not be able to come back!"
Hearing this, Bailiqi fell silent.
Regarding this point, he has never thought about it.
But he still wants to gamble, because his nephew Baili Luoyun is still pointing at Sikong's family's Nine Wonders Tongyingcao to heal his injuries.
"I know you are concerned about Luoyun's injury, but how can the Sikong family be able to deal with it so easily." Baili Xiao smiled wryly and shook his head.
"Luoyun and that sinister boy from the Sikong family were both core disciples of the Crane Sect. No matter how you look at it, they are opposites. They won't make Luoyun's injury heal..."
Bailixuan also showed worry.
He helped Bailiqi to a seat on the side of the main hall, and then patted the latter on the shoulder.
"Second brother, Dage has received your heart, but we still need to think about Luoyun's injury..."
Not long after the family here regained their calm, another person entered the main hall.
"Report to Patriarch..."
Bailixuan stood with his back straight and his hands behind his back, as if he had regained the majesty of the previous patriarch.
"How about it, did you find out what happened in the southeast of the city just now?"
"Reporting to the Patriarch, there are already some clues," the man responded, "It is said that a mansion that the Sikong family just bought recently was bulldozed."
"As for the casualties, we don't know yet, because the courtyard has evaporated, leaving nothing behind..."
"However, someone saw Yang Dianfeng, the steward of Sikong's family, go in. It's not clear whether he was folded inside..."
After reporting the information, Bailixuan asked the visitor to retreat.
But his tightly wrinkled brows still did not relax.
"Who on earth would attack the Sikong family..."
"It only overturned a mansion that the Sikong family just bought, so why not give a warning first..."
Bailixuan couldn't figure it out.
Of course he didn't know that it was Baili Yidao who was quick to strike, otherwise the Sikong family's base camp would not be kept.
"Patriarch!" Someone outside the door reported again.
"What's the matter?" Bailixuan asked absent-mindedly.
"Patriarch, there is a group of people coming to visit from outside, and one of them is carrying a big knife, who claims to be Baili..."
