Chapter 1191: I Just Want to Take Her Away
Bai Xue and Luo Xue stood directly before the Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall, yet he did not attack them. Instead, he moved, distancing himself from the pair, and motioned for the other Enforcement Hall members to engage them. There were two reasons for his choice.
One reason was that he believed his subordinates were all quite strong, and with two Demon Kings present, they could certainly take down Bai Xue and Luo Xue working together. Therefore, there was no need for him to intervene. Since he didn't need to act, he naturally kept his distance from Bai Xue and Luo Xue, so as not to hinder his subordinates' performance by being too close.
The other reason was to prevent Bai Xue and Luo Xue from escaping. His distancing was not a relaxation of vigilance; keeping a distance made it easier to observe the entire scene and not miss a single detail. Thus, as soon as Bai Xue and Luo Xue showed the slightest sign of attempting to flee, he could immediately detect it and intercede.
The Hall Master of the Enforcement Hall believed his subordinates, working together, would have no problem subduing Bai Xue and Luo Xue. His subordinates shared this conviction, so none of them reverted to their true forms, deeming it entirely unnecessary.
All sorts of instant demonic arts rained down on Bai Xue and Luo Xue. Since they were standing right beside Bai Jiumeng, a portion of these demonic arts naturally enveloped Bai Jiumeng as well.
Bai Xue had long prepared herself mentally for this. She knew that once she and Luo Xue revealed themselves, they would inevitably face a group assault from the White Fox Clan. So, she had made preparations beforehand.
Boom!
A sound like muffled thunder emanated from within Bai Xue, followed by a terrifying surge of power that erupted from her body and rapidly spread outwards.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Explosions rang out one after another. Apart from the attacks of the two Demon Kings, all other assaults were shattered by the powerful energy fluctuation Bai Xue suddenly released. The attacks from the two Demon Kings likewise failed to harm Bai Xue in the slightest, being blocked by the quickly formed barrier. The barrier didn't even ripple; instead, the Demon Kings' attacks were instantly dispersed.
With Bai Xue's current strength, demons below the Demon King realm were like mere ants in her eyes. Let alone these Enforcement Hall members not having reverted to their true forms, even if they had, they would still be ants in Bai Xue's eyes—just slightly larger ants.
It was precisely because of this vast disparity in strength that Bai Xue merely unleashed the powerful energy within her, and the resulting shockwave alone was enough to obliterate their attacks.
The attacks from the two Demon Kings were considerably stronger than those of the others. Although they, too, had not reverted to their true forms, a Demon King was still a Demon King; even without transforming, the power they unleashed was beyond comparison to others.
Nevertheless, these two Demon Kings were still minor characters in Bai Xue's eyes, albeit slightly more formidable than the rest of the Enforcement Hall members.
The formidable power unleashed by Bai Xue stunned everyone present. Even the White Fox Clan Patriarch's expression shifted slightly, let alone the others.
Weaker White Fox clansmen trembled under the powerful surge Bai Xue released. To them, this power was devastating, utterly beyond their ability to resist. Even though this power wasn't directed at them, nor did it directly impact them, merely sensing it was enough to overwhelm them.
Upon sensing the immense power erupting from Bai Xue, the Enforcement Hall Master's face first showed shock, then immediately turned grim.
In his opinion, since Bai Xue could befriend Bai Jiumeng and dare to cause trouble on Snow Fox Mountain, she must have some serious capabilities, unless she was a fool. But judging from Bai Xue's words and actions, she was no fool, so he knew she must possess a certain level of strength. What he never anticipated was that Bai Xue's strength would be so profound. Putting aside her actual combat ability, purely from the power fluctuation Bai Xue was currently emitting, it seemed to surpass his own, which naturally shocked him beyond measure!
The wild power surged rapidly in all directions like a raging bull, not only dispersing the incoming attacks but also sending the Enforcement Hall members flying. A fierce gust of wind rose from the ground, spreading outwards from Bai Xue's body. Apart from the two Demon Kings and the Enforcement Hall Master, the other Enforcement Hall members, before they could even steady themselves, were blown off balance by this strong wind.
"Hehe, I have no intention of being your White Fox Clan's enemy, not because I fear your clan, but because Jiumeng is one of your kin. So, I don't want to go too far and make things awkward for everyone. Right now, I only want to take Jiumeng from here; I have no desire to harm anyone. But if you try to stop me, I cannot guarantee that no one will get hurt."
From within the barrier, Bai Xue spoke with an enchanting charm to the Enforcement Hall Master, whose already grim expression darkened further upon hearing her words.
"Are you threatening me? " the Enforcement Hall Master asked in a deep voice, filled with intense killing intent. At this moment, the other Enforcement Hall members also managed to steady themselves and once again unleashed demonic arts against the barrier Bai Xue had conjured.
Continuous booming sounds filled the air. Apart from the attacks of the two Demon Kings, which could slightly shake the barrier, the assaults from everyone else had no effect whatsoever, like raindrops hitting a hard stone slab; apart from making a pattering sound, they caused no other impact on the solid surface.
Bai Xue stood within the barrier, ignoring the dense barrage of attacks constantly striking it. She seemed to have great confidence in her summoned barrier, not worried in the slightest that it would be breached. Instead, she smiled at the Enforcement Hall Master and responded:
"Whether it's a threat or a negotiation, you can interpret it however you like. In any case, today I will not only take Jiumeng from here, but I also absolutely will not allow you to harm her. Although I know your White Fox Clan certainly has individuals stronger than me, I'm not some insignificant character to be bullied at will. If I were to truly unleash my fury, I believe you would be greatly troubled. Besides, almost all of your White Fox Clan members are currently gathered on this mountaintop. If I were to lose control of my power and unleash some wide-range killing move, it's hard to say how many people here would lose their lives. Don't you agree, Patriarch?"
As Bai Xue finished speaking, her gaze shifted from the grim-faced Enforcement Hall Master to the White Fox Clan Patriarch.
Bai Xue knew that the true decision-maker on Snow Fox Mountain was still the White Fox Clan Patriarch. Therefore, threatening him was more practical than threatening the Enforcement Hall Master. After all, whether she achieved her goal ultimately depended on the Patriarch's word. Although the Enforcement Hall Master held a high position within the White Fox Clan, some matters were not within his authority to decide.
Bai Xue's threat caused the White Fox Clan Patriarch's face to become as dark as water. The White Fox clansmen present also heard Bai Xue's threatening words clearly, because Bai Xue had imbued her voice with power when she spoke. So, her words not only drowned out the booming sounds of the attacks on the barrier but also spread throughout the entire Snow Fox Mountain peak, making it impossible for the White Fox clansmen present not to hear them.
Her actions were clearly intentional, and as for why she deliberately did so, everyone understood without needing an explanation.
Upon hearing Bai Xue's words, the expressions of the White Fox Clan members varied for a time.
Some showed disdain. These individuals possessed a certain level of strength and status within the clan, so they simply didn't believe Bai Xue could truly do anything to their White Fox Clan. They scoffed at her threats, hence the look of disdain on their faces.
However, this type of person was few. More showed expressions of panic. These individuals were inferior in both strength and status, and their courage was also lacking. After sensing the terrifying power fluctuation emanating from Bai Xue, seeds of fear had already sprouted in their hearts. Now, hearing Bai Xue's threatening words, it was natural for them to show more or less panic, as they were not unfeeling puppets devoid of fear.
The panic in their hearts caused some White Fox clansmen to consider retreating. Some even whispered frantically to those beside them, and the scene became somewhat chaotic.
The White Fox Clan Patriarch observed this scene, understanding Bai Xue's intention. To prevent Bai Xue's scheme from succeeding, he quickly spoke.
"Quiet! She's merely trying to scare you with these words. Do you really think she dares to act recklessly? Don't forget, this is Snow Fox Mountain, our White Fox Clan's territory. It's not for outsiders to run wild. Besides, with me here, how much trouble do you think she can stir up?"
The White Fox Clan Patriarch's stern words, when they reached the ears of his clansmen, indeed calmed down some of the panicking individuals. After all, their Patriarch's strength was unfathomable; with him in command, there was truly nothing to worry about. They had overlooked this point due to their earlier panic, but now, after the Patriarch's reminder, they recalled it, and their hearts settled considerably, with the slightly chaotic scene returning to order.
"From the Patriarch's words, it seems you are not willing to accept my small request? " Bai Xue asked with an unchanging tone, her voice full of enchanting charm, smiling at the White Fox Clan Patriarch.
"You are not qualified to make demands in front of me! " As the White Fox Clan Patriarch's words fell, the crowd attacking Bai Xue, realizing their ordinary methods couldn't harm her or even break her barrier, all reverted to their true forms!
