Chapter 85: 2) Gentle mother! Arrogant son and father
Bai Lung simply raised his hand, halting Patriarch Yang's approach. His expression remained cool and unperturbed.
"Patriarch Yang. I have no desire for conflict with your esteemed clan... Whatever happened was due to your son's own foolishness," His voice was steady, showing no hint of fear or nervousness.
He still had his active skill, so, he simply had no reason to be afraid of Yang Patriarch.
Bai Lung's eyes narrowed slightly.
"However, I will not allow you to threaten myself or the Saintess. If you wish to continue this, you will face something unheard of,"
The air crackled with tension as Bai Lung stared down the enraged patriarch, awaiting his response.
Patriarch Yang's eyes narrowed dangerously as he glared at Bai Lung, his aura swelling with unbridled rage.
The very air seemed to tremble under the weight of his fury.
The AUDACITY to lecture him, after crippling his son.
Outrageous!!!
"You dare lecture me, Young Master Bai?" he spat, his voice dripping with contempt.
"You who have desecrated the legacy of my Yang Clan, who have crippled the future of my bloodline - you dare to lecture me on power and comprehension?... A thief doesn't teach Buddha!"
Patriarch Yang's hands moved in a complex series of seals, summoning an array of glowing runes that coalesced into a towering, spectral guardian, created from pure energy.
A magical avatar.
Its eyes burned with an unholy light as it surged towards Bai Lung, its massive fists poised to crush the young man into oblivion.
"I will show you the true might of the Yang Clan!" the patriarch roared, his voice alone sending shockwaves.
"Your vaunted power is nothing compared to the wrath of a father whose son you have ruined!... I have nothing more to lose!"
Bai Lung's expression betrayed no fear or concern as the monstrous guardian bore down upon him.
Instead, he simply raised his hand, his fingers weaving an intricate pattern through the air.
A shimmering barrier of energy sprang to life, effortlessly deflecting the guardian's blows as if they were nothing more than gentle caresses.
"Your anger is understandable, Patriarch Yang," Bai Lung said calmly, "but it clouds your judgment. The destruction of your son's Dao heart was not my intent, but the consequence of his own arrogance. He sought to test his cultivation against mine, and he was found lacking,"
Truth be told, it's Yang Khan's own skill issue that brought calamity upon him, one should never chew more than one can swallow.
"Spare me your empty platitudes," The Patriarch spat, his voice dripping with contempt.

Crowd:
"That young man is dead, Yang Family patriarch is one of the powerhouses of East Mountains, his cultivation has reached the sixth stage of the Soul wandering realm,"
"I know the martial art used by the Yang Family is called: Break Soul, not Bones. I heard it can even injure one's Soul permanently, "
"Tsk! Tsk! That brat was somewhat genius, even capable of taking down Yang Khan at that age, it's a pity, that he messed with the Yang Family... Eyes that fail to see the Mount. Tai is destined to suffer,"
"Keke! Well, on the bright side, he did manage to cripple Yang Khan, it's already great news... I heard Yang Khan used his family power to sleep with many women and a few of them were later killed,"
"Indeed, Yang Khan being crippled is the biggest news, the Yang family will probably decline in the future,"
"Junior bother please enlighten me, why would Yang Family decline? Yang Patriarch just need snap and his finger and your own wife will spread her legs in front of patriarch Yang, he can always kids..."
"Oh, the senior is correct, my blind eyes failed to see the possibility that patriarch Yang could have another child,"
...
Bai Lung's eyes turned cold.
The next moment, Bai Luo Yi emerged from the void and instantly beheaded Patriarch Yang.
Till now, she was on void, watching the scene and waiting for an order, and as soon as she got his eye signal, she decided to act.
'Hmm... Young Master had gotten pretty fearless and his strength seemed to be increasing rapidly,' Bai Luo Yi thought while her gaze turned towards Saintess.
'This woman sure attracts lots of trouble with her beauty...' She said in her mind.
"Please stay back Holy Son! The Yang Patriarch is a figure in soul wandering realm, he can separate his body from soul thus, he isn't dead yet and can revive himself... "
Hearing this, Bai Lung nodded, his face fully stoic, looking at Yang Patruarch's fallen body.
The next moment,
Before everyone's eyes,
The head that was separated from the Patriarch's body slowly began to join together while the blood remained still.
With a mystic white glow emitting from his body, his eyes suddenly blinked, and he was back... Alive and healthy.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
Seeing this, the previously shocked guards shouted patriarch.
As soon as he came back to life, he gave Bai Lung a martial greeting,
"Ahem* Ahem* Greeting Young Master Bai, I was blinded that I committed such an unforgivable sin, please let me repent on it and pour you some fine quality wine...."
Everyone: "..."
Not just that, but, he even glanced at his son and gave him a big smack on his head,
"Please forgive this Yang, I have committed a grave mistake... The Young Master is wise and righteous," He added.
However, from a glance, Bai Lung could see no sincerity.
Pour some wine? Ah, common theme... If you can't win physically then use strategy.
Throughout history many powerful figures died of poison, not sword, so, it's easy to see through patriarch Yang's strategy.
Bai Lung smirked inwardly at how cheap yet powerful the technique was, however, the opponent was he, the mighty Bai Lung, a master among masters, the grandmaster.
"Oh, The Patriarch Yang is well educated and capable of differentiating what's good and what's not, I feel honored at your invitation, how I can reject it," his words were still cold.
Hearing this, Patriarch bowed his head and smirked in a sinister manner.
