Transmigration: Children of The Plane
Chapter 53 Killing Wang Mo, Yan Fengxian'Brother Bai? No matter how I look at it, this is a Fox Vixen that gained a human form!' Wang Mo thought inwardly.
"Oh right, I forgot I'm still in this form. So you probably wouldn't recognize me." Xue Bai said after seeing his confusion.
"No, no, no, Brother Bai, how could I not recognize you." Wang Mo spoke quickly.
Xue Bai had actually met the two during an awakening ceremony he was forced to attend by Xue Feng.
There the two had constantly called him Brother Bai in tones full of sincerity, but their eyes said the opposite. They were full of disdain and schadenfreude.
The two had probably heard of Xue Bai's poisoning and were taking this chance to 'Make Friends,' so when Xue Bai goes to them in the future for help, they could ruthlessly deny him and crush his spirits.
Remembering their cruelty, Xue Bai's desire to kill Wang Mo increased, and the coldness in his eyes deepened.
As his chance of survival decreased, Wang Mo thought that he had finally grasped a strand of hope and tried to continue this conversation.
Xue Bai could obviously tell Wang Mo was lying. However, he only flew down to taunt them, so he decided to play along.
"Of course, how could Brother Mo not recognize me? After you and Brother Yu called me Brother Bai for an entire night, how could you not remember me even if I changed forms?" Xue Bai spoke with a relieved smile.
"Then Brother Bai, could you please do your Brother Mo a favor and call off those hawks of yours? They nearly wiped us out." Wang Mo asked kindly.
"No, Brother Mo, I can't do that." Xue Bai shook his head innocently
'This slut! How dare she say no!' Wang Mo thought mentally.
However, on the outside, he kept a forced smile and asked, "Why Brother Bai? Could it be that you're angry with your Brother Yu and me?"
"You could say that. After all, your Wang Clan fed me a Vein Swallowing Worm at my young age, almost stealing away my future." Xue Bai spoke in a melancholic voice.
Hearing Vein Swallowing Worm from Xue Bai, Wang Mo's mind started to race, trying to think who was in front of him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt'His given name is Bai, and we fed him a Vein Swallowing Worm. And extremely feminine looking. Wait, I know now!'
"Are you Xue Bai?" Wang Mo asked carefully.
"Correct! Took a little longer than I thought it would." Xue Bai commented with a smile.
However, the smile wasn't one of excitement or praise but one full of disdain.
"If you are Xue Bai, how dare you attack us! Do you think Xue Feng could protect you from my clan!" Wang Mo, finally knowing who had driven him and his clan members to the brink of extinction, was enraged.
The Wang, Yan, and Duan Clans were the Three Great Families of The Great Xuan Empire. Each of the clans had at least three different Peak Domain Lord Realm Cultivators to protect it at any given moment.
But Xue Feng, though a Duke, hadn't been added to that list as the foundation of his clan wasn't strong enough yet. He and Li Rou were the strongest in the Dukedom, yet they were only at the 7th stage of the Domain Lord Realm. With the next strongest being Zhou Beizhen at the 3rd stage of the Domain Lord Realm.
Li Huo and his subordinates didn't count as Li Huo was a noble himself and the people under him belonged to him, not Xue Feng's Dukedom.
And seeing that the son of a mere newly appointed Duke had almost killed him, Wang Mo's eyes had turned red in anger.
"How dare you, a Vein Transformation ant, call my father by his full name!" Xue Bai shouted.
Xue Bai waved his hand once again, and the thunderhawk spat out a ball of lightning at Wang Mo's left arm.
"ARGH!" Unable to dodge, Wang Mo's left arm was scorched and burned to a crisp, leaving him roaring in pain.
"Xue Feng is a mere cultivation fool who got lucky with his Martial Veins! Why wouldn't I dare call him by his full name? This continent will be trampled under my Wang Clan soon enough. By then, Xue Feng wouldn't even dare to call me by my full name!" Wang Mo shouted back as he held his scorched stub of an arm.
"You're really insane, aren't you? Even now, at the brink of death, you still speak with such enthusiasm. If you had half a brain, you'd be begging for mercy at my feet." Xue Bai insulted.
He had started to lose interest in this brain-dead cannon fodder.
"How are you even able to cultivate? That Vein Swallowing Worm should've crippled you like the piece of trash you should be!" Wang Mo shouted.
Seeing Wang Mo become increasingly unhinged, Xue Bai lost any motivation to continue the conversation and ordered the hawks to attack the surviving three Wang Clan members with a wave of his hand.
Wang Yibo and the last bodyguard had long given up resistance and accepted their fates. But Wang Mo picked up a sword and fought to his dying breath, not wanting to give Xue Bai any satisfaction.
Now that their job was done, Xue Bai looked at the clan of hawks and ordered, "You can take your species and leave. I have no more for you to do."
Eager to leave Xue Bai, the thunderhawk turned into a flash of lightning and flew off after hearing the order. The rest of its species was confused at first, but they soon followed it back home.
Then alone, Xue Bai finally let out what he was holding back and proceeded to vomit.
This was Xue Bai's first time killing any human, and the first time he killed 20 people in one go. And each and every corpse in front of him was diced into dozens of pieces. Though most of the faces were peaceful as they died instantly to a sneak attack, Wang Mo's facial expression, full of malice and hatred, burnt its way into Xue Bai's head.
Xue Bai vomited for almost 5 seconds until he finally regained control of his stomach. But instead of looking away, he continued to stare at the corpses.
"Xue Bai, this isn't Earth anymore. Get used to this now peacefully before it catches up to you and almost kills you." Xue Bai spoke aloud to try and calm himself down.
Xue Bai knew that the Baishen Plane was a chance for him to live his dream life. But, unfortunately, it would come along with a trail of blood and corpses along the way. And he wanted to strengthen his determination and will now rather than on a battlefield where it could cost him his life.
'Do what needs to be done, not what you want to be done. Do what needs to be done, not what you want to be done.' Xue Bai repeated the phrase in his mind over and over again like a mantra to try and keep himself from throwing up again.
After a few minutes of stern concentration and throwing up whatever was left in his stomach. Xue Bai finally stood up and wiped the vomit off of his lips. He had finally adapted to the corpses and was no longer disgusted or scared.
Finally calm, Xue Bai went to Wang Mo's body and took its spatial ring.
As the leader and a massive arrogant bastard, Wang Mo held every valuable item they found on his person.
"Oh, he was telling the truth. He did find a Middle Yellow Grade Spirit Fruit." Xue Bai commented as he inspected the ring.
Besides the Middle Yellow Grade Spirit Fruit, there were almost a dozen Low Yellow Grade ones inside and a few valuable ores that Wang Mo also found.
Now alone, Xue Bai decided he would do some looting before he left. The Secret Realm would only close after another 4 hours, so he wanted to break through to the 8th stage of the Vein Transformation Realm before he left. And with the Spirit Fruits he had stored, he planned to go into closed-door seclusion at home to break through to the peak of the Vein Transformation.
The rest of Xue Bai's time in the Secret Realm was peaceful. Relying on his overwhelmingly powerful soul and memories, he managed to loot every important spot in the Secret Realm. He found another 3 Middle Yellow Grade Spirit Fruits and another 7 Low Yellow Grade ones.
Bringing his total loot gains to 5 Middle Yellow and 25 Low Yellow Grade Spirit Fruits from his two looting sprees and Wang Mo's Spatial Ring
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter picking one more fruit, Xue Bai decided that it was time to leave the Secret Realm. But there was one problem. The Emperor, Duke Wang, and Duke Yan were outside watching the exit. And it was almost impossible to slip past them without them noticing.
The cloak that Xue Feng gave to him only worked for those under the Qi Sea stage, but those three were some of the strongest in the continent, and it would only take a single sweep of their spiritual sense to see who was under it.
Xue Bai also couldn't send a message to his father to help him out. His only options were to try and find another exit or hide together with the Yan Clan members.
Though the Duan Family and his clan were allies in the game plot, it was only because of the threat of the Wang Clan. Without the considerable threat making them ally together, the Duan Family could have easily been an enemy.
But not only did the Yan family have his future sister-in-law in it, but Xue Feng was also always close to Yan Zhenyu. So Xue Bai thought that he could hide with them.
If he were in the crowd of the Yan Clan members, neither of the other heads would bother to look at him. Though a cloak was something out of the ordinary, it was still very common for people to wear. So it wouldn't warrant a Spiritual Sense sweep, and even if it were enough, neither Duan Zhen nor Wang Yichen would out of respect for Yan Zhenyu.
With those thoughts and the fact that Xue Bai didn't know if there was a second exit, he chose the latter.
Finding the Yan Clan members didn't take long, but now Xue Bai had the problem of how to get to the Young Miss of the Yan Clan without being attacked.
This year Yan Fengxian was 13. And though she was a year older than Huo Long, it didn't matter much since they were childhood sweethearts.
From what Xue Bai remembered in the game, she had awakened a Peak Yellow Grade Martial Vein and had also joined Wushen Academy. There she fell in love with Huo Long.
But since it was only 972, Xue Bai wasn't sure if she had fallen in love yet. The only thing he was sure of was that the seed of feelings was there, as Huo Long had saved her life earlier this year from what he knew. So now Xue Bai only hoped that he could take advantage of that.
Xue Bai tried his best to act like a teenage girl and ran out shouting, "FengFeng! Oh my heavens, it's so good to see you here!"
Yan Fengxian, hearing someone call her by her nickname, turned around instinctively to see who it was. But she also kept her guard up and stood behind two of her strongest clansmen.
Though she was talented, at 13, she was only in the Middle stages of the Blood Exchange Realm, and in case of a sneak attack, she needed to be near them for a chance of survival.
"Fellow Daoist, if you come any closer, I will order my clansmen to attack you! Since you know my nickname, I must know you personally. Can you take down your cloak before we let you get any closer?" Yan Fengxian asked politely.
Though he was annoyed that he didn't get close enough to whisper, Xue Bai planned for something like this and spoke loudly, "I am Brother Huo Long's friend! He told me so much about you."
Hearing Huo Long's name, a smile appeared on Yan Fengxian's face, and she let her guard down.
'Anyone who knows our relationship and my nickname should be a friend.' Yan Fengxian thought inwardly as she let Xue Bai come closer.
'Succes! Now all I need to do is camouflage with them and escape!' Xue Bai thought excitedly.
