Chapter 228: Chapter 228 Conspiracy!

"Not in a hurry?"

Upon hearing Bai Xiong’s words,

Zhao Teng Qi furrowed his brows.

Evidently, he had not anticipated such a response from Bai Xiong.

Weren’t they here to aid the Bai Family in slaying the Ghost Shadow Beasts on Ghost Shadow Mountain?

Moreover,

This mission had been issued by the Bai Family at the Blood Continent Sect.

What did he mean by not being in a hurry?

Beside Zhao Teng Qi,

Qin Chen’s brows were also tightly knitted.

His eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Bai Xiong.

He had a sneaking suspicion that there was more to the situation than met the eye.

"Come forth!"

Suddenly, Bai Xiong called out.

"Present!"

At his call, a troupe of brightly adorned maids entered from outside the council hall.

"These two gentlemen are disciples from the Blood Continent Sect. You must attend to them well tonight, understand?"

Bai Xiong said in a solemn tone.

"Yes!"

The maids answered in unison.

Beside them,

Lin Song Yun also began to frown.

"Wait a moment!"

At this time,

Qin Chen called out,

Halting the maids in their tracks.

Bai Xiong and the people of the Bai Family turned their attention to Qin Chen.

"Family Head Bai, we are here to help you resolve your issue."

"We are short on time, so perhaps we should not waste any more of it, shall we?"

Qin Chen looked straight at Bai Xiong, his gaze firm.

Inside the council hall,

After Qin Chen spoke those words,

An unexpected silence fell over the room.

Only after a moment did Bai Xiong offer a slight smile.

"The three honored guests need not be suspicious, I truly have your best interests at heart."

"It will be dark soon, and the Ghost Shadow Beasts possess the special ability of invisibility, which becomes even more advantageous at night."

"My wish is for the three of you to rest well tonight, so that we may visit Ghost Shadow Mountain together first thing tomorrow."

Bai Xiong explained, still smiling.

When he smiled, the fat on his face piled up into folds.

Upon hearing Bai Xiong’s words,

Qin Chen and his companions exchanged glances, seeing a trace of seriousness in each other’s eyes.

Although Bai Xiong’s subsequent speech was logical and coherent,

There was still something peculiar about him.

"The night is falling, and we have already prepared rooms for the three of you. Perhaps the honored guests would like to retire to their rooms to rest?"

Seeing that Qin Chen and his companions did not respond, Bai Xiong broke the awkward silence with a smile and an invitation.

Qin Chen pondered for a moment before finally nodding slightly.

Upon seeing Qin Chen nod, Bai Xiong’s face lit up with joy, inexplicably delighted.

"What are you waiting for? Quickly take these two gentlemen and the lady to their rooms!"

After that,

Bai Xiong glared at the group of maids.

"Yes!"

Perhaps sensing Bai Xiong’s dissatisfaction, the maids instantly trembled and hastily responded.

"No need!"

Qin Chen said flatly, gesturing dismissively.

He then pointed to the Bai Family guard who had led them into the council hall.

"You take us there."

Upon hearing this, the Bai Family guard was momentarily taken aback.

Then he looked to Bai Xiong.

Bai Xiong’s expression froze, but then he nodded at the guard.

"The three honored guests, please follow me."

Seeing Bai Xiong’s nod,

The Bai Family guard then led Qin Chen out of the council hall.

Before long,

The Bai Family guard brought Qin Chen and the others to a quiet location.

Here were three houses.

"That will be all, you can leave now."

Qin Chen said to the Bai Family guard.

"Yes, if you have any orders, just call me!"

The Bai Family guard nodded and then left the place.

Seeing the Bai Family guard leave,

Qin Chen sent out his telekinesis to make sure there was no one else around, and then he spoke.

"That Bai Xiong, something’s not right."

"I noticed too, their strength is not weak at all, dealing with those Ghost Shadow Beasts shouldn’t be so difficult."

Zhao Tengqi also said.

"Moreover, on our way here, I didn’t see any signs that the Bai Family had been attacked by the Ghost Shadow Beasts, not a single trace."

Lin Songyun also said with a grave expression.

There were many suspicions.

"Tonight, we shouldn’t sleep."

"Also, keep in touch at all times through the communication token."

Qin Chen said solemnly.

The three had long since left a trace of their qi in their own communication tokens.

"Uh-huh."

Hearing Qin Chen’s words, Zhao Tengqi and Lin Songyun both nodded seriously with solemn expressions.

"If you’re scared, I might consider, just might, staying in the same room as you."

Afterward,

Qin Chen looked seriously at Lin Songyun as he said this.

The tense atmosphere instantly dissolved with Qin Chen’s words.

Lin Songyun rolled her eyes at Qin Chen and then said, "Don’t joke around at a time like this."

"I’m not joking, I’m serious, if you ask, I can reluctantly consider it."

Qin Chen kept a serious demeanor.

"Consider my ass."

Lin Songyun immediately punched Qin Chen in the chest.

"Even with the Bai Family’s strength, they couldn’t really do anything to us, but to prevent accidents, we should still be careful!"

Zhao Tengqi coughed dryly from the side.

Qin Chen and the other nodded.

Afterward,

the three each went toward their own rooms.

It was not until Lin Songyun was about to enter her room that Qin Chen spoke up again.

"Really, you won’t consider it?"

"Get lost!"

Lin Songyun angrily retorted at the words.

Qin Chen sighed deeply, then entered his own room.

"Teasing a young girl, must feel nice, right?"

Once Qin Chen had entered the room,

Little Fairy’s voice, filled with Yin Energy, suddenly sounded,

causing Qin Chen to shiver involuntarily.

"This isn’t teasing, this is a man’s instinct to protect a woman, you misunderstand me."

Qin Chen shook his head and said earnestly.

"Hmph."

Hearing Qin Chen’s words, Little Fairy turned her mouth and coldly snorted.

The night soon fell.

And just after darkness had descended,

Bai Xiong and several others gathered in a forest behind the Bai Family’s mountain.

If Qin Chen had been there, he would have been able to recognize these individuals.

Because these people were those who had appeared in the Bai Family’s council hall that day.

"We’ve prepared for so long, put in so much effort, and finally, the time has come."

Bai Xiong’s eyes were filled with fanaticism.

"It’s a pity about that woman, she was truly attractive."

Next to Bai Xiong, a skinny man recalled Lin Songyun’s figure in his mind and couldn’t help but lick his lips.

"Bai Jun, I can tell you, now is not the time to have other ideas!"

Hearing the skinny man, that is, Bai Jun’s words, Bai Xiong immediately turned back and glowered at Bai Jun.

Bai Jun let out an awkward laugh and then nodded.

"Let’s begin."

At that moment,

Bai Xiong gave a slight signal.

Hearing Bai Xiong’s words,

Several people next to Bai Xiong all nodded.

Boom!

Afterward,

Several people burst forth with their cultivation.

Simultaneously,

Waves of energy directly bombarded a specific area within the forest.
