Chapter 333: Chapter 329: Elder Xiao Yun
This man was distinguished in appearance, although his temples were a hint of frost and wrinkles were at the corners of his eyes, one could still recognize the handsome and dashing features of his younger days from his face.
“Eh, it’s him!” Shen Luo looked at the middle-aged man in white robes suspended in mid-air, displaying a trace of oddity on his face.
“Elder Xiao Yun, you’ve finally arrived! Unfortunately, Jianye City was breached by demons and my Bai family suffered a great catastrophe. Several of my uncles sacrificed their lives to cover our escape, thanks to which a few of us managed to escape,” Bai Bi, upon seeing the middle-aged man in white robes floating in mid-air, immediately flew in front of him. Kneeling down in mid-air, he sobbed and yelled.
“What rubbish! With my elder brother safeguarding Jianye City and the guardians of the Mountains and the Sea, both Great Mahayana realm fellows, there’s no way the city would have been taken over,” the middle-aged man in white robes retorted with a pale face upon hearing these words.
“It’s true. Countless demons suddenly appeared outside Jianye City, attacking our walls. Later, five major demons of demi-immortal level arrived. Elder Xiao Tian managed to slay three of them before he perished together with them…” Bai Bi briefly recounted the events that had transpired in Jianye City, bringing the middle-aged man up to the current situation.
The man in the white robe’s face turned from pale to red, then from red to blue, ultimately revealing an extremely ferocious expression, his killing intent evident.
“Excellent, excellent! You demons, dare to destroy my city, murder my brother, annihilate my family! I, Bai Xiaoyun, swear here. I will not rest until I have completely slaughtered all you demons!” The middle-aged man in the white robe roared towards the sky.
A burst of overpowering mana erupted from his body, vibrating the surrounding void, causing strong gusts of winds and shaking the ground, resembling an outbreak of an earthquake.
Bai Bi, standing next to the man in white robes, hastily avoided him but was still blown away as if by strong wind. He managed to stabilize his figure in the distance as his cultivation level was relatively deep and got away without injury.
Everyone on the ground wavered, their faces turned pale and their eyes reflected the complex emotions of narrowly surviving a calamity.
“As expected, it is Bai Xiaoyun. After a thousand years, he has indeed greatly improved his cultivation. Looking at his might, he seems to be in the Great Mahayana realm, even more formidable than the Qianyan Ancestor,” Shen Luo murmured to himself as he watched the middle-aged man in the white robes from a distance.
“We vow to follow Elder Xiao Yun to our deaths! We will not rest until all the demons are eradicated!” After returning, Bai Bi kneeled before Bai Xiaoyun and declared.
“We pledge our lives to follow the elder!” Other cultivators of the Bai family also hurried over and kneeled.

“Good, you are indeed worthy of the Bai family name, now rise,” Bai Xiaoyun motioned with his sleeve and Bai Bi and others were lifted by an intangible force and stood up.
“It seems this young man’s character has changed greatly,” contemplated Shen Luo while considering whether to approach and reveal his true identity.
At that moment, a crackling sound came from behind him. The golden celestial shadow began flickering, and cracks appeared on its surface.
His face changed as he hurriedly turned to confront the sound.
A flash of golden light shot from behind, quickly overtaking Shen Luo. In an instant, it floated above the golden celestial star, transforming into the shadow of a vajra, striking downwards.
The golden celestial star shattered and disappeared. The large centipede general beneath it was powerless to resist and broke into fragments, instantly obliterated.
The terrifying force continued to descend, causing a huge crack on the ground of several dozen feet in diameter. Fragments of stone flew, smoke and dust billowed, and a circular wave of wind swept outwards, gradually fading off after a while.
Upon witnessing this scene, Shen Luo took a sharp breath and halted in his tracks.
At that moment, the void in front of him flickered, and Bai Xiaoyun appeared, slowly floating down.
“Your Excellency must be Friend Shen, isn’t it? I heard from Bai Bi, thank you for coming to the aid of my Bai family…” Bai Xiaotian nodded slightly but abruptly paused mid-sentence as he took a closer look at Shen Luo’s face and figure.
Shen Luo already anticipating what was to come, maintained a smile and didn’t attempt to conceal his identity.
“You, you are Big Brother Shen!” Bai Xiaotian shook as he pointed to Shen Luo, exclaiming in disbelief.
“Brother Bai, it’s been a long time,” Shen Luo stated, unsure of how to approach Bai Xiaoyun. He unwillingly greeted him in a dull tone.
“You really are Big Brother Shen. We lost contact with you after we said goodbye in Meng City all those years ago. I never could have imagined we’d meet again here today,” exclaimed Bai Xiaoyun jovially. He lifted both of his hands, as though he wanted to give Shen Luo a hug, but immediately felt awkward and instead patted Shen Luo’s shoulder.
“Yeah, I never expected to meet you here either,” Shen Luo replied, recalling the Meng City Bai Xiaoyun mentioned but didn’t ask further.
The crowd in the distance was in shock upon witnessing this scene.
Shen Luo knew Bai Xiaoyun, and judging by the looks of it, they were old friends.
The people from the Shen family were surprised. Shen Luo looked to be in his early twenties yet he was friends with Bai Xiaoyun. Upon hearing their conversation, based on the tone, it appeared that Shen Luo had a higher status between them. Could it be that he was a hidden old monster thousands of years old?
“Brother Shen, what brings you here?” Bai Xiaoyun asked, gaining his calm after the initial excitement of meeting Shen Luo.
“I heard about the demon attacks in Chunhua City, so I came here to check it out. The Shen lineage, after all, are considered my descendants. But I haven’t revealed my identity to them, Brother Bai, it would be best if you didn’t reveal it either,” Shen Luo glanced at the distant Shen family and spoke through thought transmission.
Bai Xiaoyun paused slightly and nodded in agreement.
“What brings Brother Bai here? I consider ourselves lucky that you arrived or else it would have been difficult to deal with these two large demons,” countered Shen Luo.
“Currently, I am cultivating at the Hua Sheng Temple. I recently received news about the demon invasion of Jianye City. I immediately rushed here to help but on the way, I received a distress signal from my Bai family, and thus ended up here,” Bai Xiaoyun explained.
“So that’s why,” Shen Luo nodded in understanding.
“Brother Shen, is it true that Jianye City has fallen? That…my elder brother…has perished?” Bai Xiaoyun asked, looking into Shen Luo’s eyes. He seemed to possess a sliver of hope.
“It is true. I witnessed it firsthand. Brother Bai killed two big same-realm demons and got severely wounded by a sneak attack from a third major demon. He self-detonated and… perished,” Shen Luo said ruefully.
“Elder brother…” Bai Xiaoyun trembled, his last glimmer of hope shattered.
“Brother Bai, there’s no need to despair. Your brother died for the greater good of our human race, he died without regret,” comforted Shen Luo.
“I’m not sad but proud of him. The Demonic Tribulation is here, the world is in turmoil, we as cultivators should stand up and fight for the citizens of the world. Life and death have already been set aside, let alone other concerns,” Bai Xiaoyun took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and spoke softly.
“What are your plans next, Brother Bai? We are planning to head to Chang’an City,” Shen Luo changed the topic.
