Chapter 1322 Dered War


    "Curse at me all you want. It won''t change the fact that you tried to go after Yuan and miserably failed." Bai Lianhua calmly said to the people in the room.


    "We lost because you refused to help us!" Fiery Queen shouted, trying to save some face.


    "…"


    However, nobody in the room backed such a statement, as they were aware that even if Bai Lianhua helped them, it wouldn''t have made a difference, as that was simply how powerful Yuan was.


    In their minds, they were kicking themselves for agreeing to help Xiong Lu. Due to theirck of judgment and jealousy, they made a devastating mistake that ruined their faces and any potential rtionship with the uncertain powerhouse known as Yuan.


    Bai Lianhua, on the other hand, could now monopolize any benefit the others could have gained if they hadn''t attacked Yuan, and if she joined forces with Yuan, it would make things even moreplicated for them.


    "You lost because I didn''t assist you? No, you lost because you messed with the wrong individual! I cautioned all of you that he wasn''t someone to be taken lightly, yet none bothered to heed my words and willingly marched to your doom alongside Xiong Lu," Bai Lianhua retorted, her tone marked by a mix of frustration and admonishment.


    "Anyways, did you summon me here merely to disy your humiliation? If so, I''ve witnessed enough."


    Just as Bai Lianhua prepared to leave the meeting, Xiong Lu spoke in a cold voice, "We summoned you because yer Yuan has dered war against the Ten Great Families, which includes the Bai Family."


    Bai Lianhua frowned upon hearing this, and she quickly said, "Bullshit! He waged war against you. Don''t drag my family into your mess."


    "No, Xiong Lu is correct. yer Yuan has dered war against the entire Legacy Ranking. Henceforth, we will unleash our full might to crush him," Zheng Yanwu confirmed.


    Fiery Queen added, "Given that the Bai Family is part of the Legacy Ranking, you also bear the responsibility to address this threat—unless, of course, you wish to align with yer Yuan and stand against the entire world."


    "Don''t forget that the Legacy Ranking yed a pivotal role in shaping your family''s current status. If you choose to bite the hands that fed you, we won''t hesitate to put you down," another participant warned.


    Bai Lianhua clenched her fists and responded to them in a cold voice, "You guys sure talk big for a bunch of losers. Are you going to cry to your parents because you lost a fight? I cannot imagine being that pathetic."


    "And speaking of parents, I wonder if yours are aware of this. After all, your words carry little weight when it''s your parents who make the ultimate decisions." When Bai Lianhua brought up their parents, the room plunged into an eerie silence, as if she had struck a nerve.


    While everyone in the meeting room was the top yer in their respective families, they could not go around dering war without their family''s approval. "You don''t need to worry about that. I will speak with my father right after this meeting, and I do not doubt that he will have no problem with crushing a single ant." Xiong Lu spoke in a confident voice.


    "Until then, you should stop spewing bullshit. I''ll take my leave now if there''s nothing else." Bai Lianhua said.


    "Go ahead." Xiong Lu calmly nodded.


    Bai Lianhua didn''t hesitate and logged off from the meeting room. After that, she immediately called her father, Bai Mengyao.


    "I am currently in the middle of a meeting. Call me back in a few hours." Bai Mengyao immediately said after connecting.


    "This is urgent, Father! Xiong Lu stated that the Legacy Ranking ns to coborate to crush Yuan! The others from the Ten Great Families also shared the same sentiment!"


    Despite maintaining aposed demeanor during the meeting, Bai Lianhua was secretly fraught with concern. After all, engaging in conflict with a few individuals from the Ten Great Families was an entirely different prospect than facing the entire Ten Great Families themselves.


    "How odd…" Bai Mengyao spoke after a moment of silence. "I didn''t receive any news regarding this. Are you sure this isn''t just that child''s bickering?"


    "Well… Xiong Lu said that he''ll talk to his father about it after the meeting."


    Hearing this, Bai Mengyao suddenly burst outughing, which greatly baffled Bai Lianhua.


    "W-What''s so funny?!" "You know nothing about that child''s old man. Do you truly think he''s as immature as his son? He didn''t raise the Xiong Family to its current position with ignorance and recklessness. If he''s as shrewd as I think, he wouldn''t dare think about crushing someone as important as Yuan."


    "Someone as important as Yuan…? Is there something I don''t know, father?" Bai Lianhua asked.


    "There''s a lot of things you don''t know about! Anyways, there''s nothing to worry about. I will call you back when I am done with my meeting." Bai Mengyao hung up the phone, leaving Bai Lianhua speechless.


    Meanwhile, Yuan arrived at the Myriad of Techniques.


    "Is this your first time here?" A young man that Yuan didn''t recognize greeted him when he entered the building.


    "No."


    And without exining further, Yuan lifted his head to look at the ceiling and spoke out loud, "Senior Bai, can you hear me?"


    His actions greatly shocked the young man, who hastily said, "W-What do you think you are doing?!"


    "He''s a friend."


    A familiar voice suddenly resounded, shocking the young man even further.


    "My hands are a little full at the moment, so you''ll have to wait a bit." Senior Bai continued.


    A portal opened up before Yuan.


    "Take your time."


    Yuan calmly stepped inside the portal, disappearing from the building. N?v(el)B\\jnn


    Once he was inside Senior Bai''s realm, Yuan flew to the nearest floating pavilion and waited for Senior Bai''s arrival.


    After several hours, a portal materialized before Yuan, and Senior Bai stepped through it.
