Journey to the End of the Night-Chapter 1336 - 858: The Wager

"I have said it before, bringing in dark objects to harm the Mortal World, even if you are my son, I will not forgive you easily!" Baili Yu’s gaze was cold and ruthless, filled with deep disappointment.

I didn’t!

Baili An couldn’t utter a single word.

The thorns tore through his clothes, pierced his skin, and soon the blood pooled into a small stream beneath him, staining the melting snow red.

Baili An’s eyes were red with grievance, his cheeks covered in blood, and he bit tightly onto the sharp thorns.

The soft tongue in his mouth was pierced through, and destructive thunderfire burned from his mouth to his lungs, the scorching and poisonous heat gave him a sensation as if his insides were being burnt!

Li Xuan suddenly felt a sense of relief akin to surviving a disaster, but more so... he secretly observed this millennia-old Immortal, the Sect Master of the Sword Sect, with a peculiar gaze.

He thought, what father behaves like this, coming in and injuring his own son without even listening to his explanation first?

Even in saying ’strict father, strict father’, isn’t this being too excessively strict, nitpicking to this degree?

This isn’t like a father at all, it’s more like a terrifying demon.

Su Jing’s eyes were blood red, his long black hair rising suddenly.

Su Guanhai also had a solemn expression, looking at his increasingly aggressive daughter, he slowly raised his hand, the broad palm gently pressing on her head.

The aggressiveness was instantly suppressed, and Su Jing fell silently, supported into his embrace.

Su Guanhai’s eyes brightly ignited a Red Lotus, looking straight in the direction of Baili An.

In an instant, the restraint of thunderfire and thorns on Baili An’s body was suppressed by that Red Lotus flame, with a "bang", it seemed to be forced open by some powerful force.

A single glance made that iron-colored cage forcibly revert to the form of Divine Spear Lei Wu, lying quietly beside Baili An in the snow.

Baili An relaxed all over, lying in the blood-stained snow, gasping for breath, like a wounded solitary beast, stubbornly, enduringly holding back tears and sorrow, biting his lip hard.

Baili Yu turned slightly with an indifferent expression, looking expressionless at Su Guanhai: "This is my family matter, my teaching of my son doesn’t need Sect Master Su to personally intervene!"

Su Guanhai’s brows furrowed deeply, he seemed to be getting angry: "The truth is not yet clear, doesn’t Brother Baili think he is being too arbitrary?"

Baili Yu let out a cold laugh, his eyes cast down as he looked coldly at Baili An on the ground: "He has been like this since childhood, mediocre and useless! Relying on his eloquent mouth and meticulous mind, even when he does wrong, someone always protects him.

When he was a child, it was his mother, now that he has grown up, it’s your turn Sect Master Su, do you really think someone can protect you for a lifetime!? Or is it..."

Baili Yu’s brows furrowed with intensified coldness, his gaze sternly forced at Baili An, a sneer of disdain curled at the corner of his mouth: "Do you think because you are my son, you can act with impunity in this world!"

Baili An felt cold in his heart, the snow on the ground icy to the bone.

And each word from his father, like a blade grazing against his wounds, cut through his flesh, piercing into his very marrow.

The pain making one not want to think, not to struggle.

Zheng Siyan was undoubtedly the happiest person, he thought the words of that person were indeed correct.

Baili An could turn a dead end into a living one, but only if his father wasn’t involved in this move.

Once his father arrived, he would no longer have any chance of turning the situation around.

He immediately grinned, fanning the flames: "Sword Master senior, I saw with my own eyes Baili An controlling ghosts to kill, harming mortals, as it is said, the emperor and the common people break the law alike, you see..."

You foolish boy, competing with me for a woman, I want you to taste the feeling of being abandoned by your own family!

Who knew Baili Yu’s glance pierced towards him, cold enough to penetrate the soul.

"Who do you think you are, to dare meddle in my Baili Family’s affairs!"

Zheng Siyan’s face suddenly turned pale, he evidently couldn’t withstand the oppressive gaze of Baili Yu, retreating ten steps consecutively before barely standing firm, his chest heaving incessantly.

Just now...

He actually felt as if he had taken a terrifying walk through hell.

Not daring to look at Baili Yu again, nor dare to speak recklessly.

At this moment he understood deeply, Baili Yu was not someone he could stir up trouble with.

The smartest move now was to wait patiently for the right moment...

Baili Yu’s harshness towards Baili An had nearly reached a perverse degree, which also inversely reflected his expectations for Baili An.

He allowed no mistakes or missteps from Baili An, if he did wrong, he, as a father, would naturally mete out severe punishment.

But what is Zheng Siyan compared to this!

Baili Yu taught his own child based solely on his own will, he didn’t need to provide anyone with an explanation, special at that!

"Father..." Baili An couldn’t care for anything else at this moment, he even forgot the threat of Zheng Siyan.

He even actively ignored everything and everyone in the courtyard.

In his fiery red eyes, only Baili Yu remained, the upright and imposing figure amidst the wind and snow was clearly reflected in his pupils, the black and red sword robe had become a habitual scenery in his heart.

Baili An bit his teeth hard, seemingly with his last bit of stubbornness, he opened his mouth with difficulty and said: "Father... are you really unwilling to give me three days to prove my innocence?"

Baili Yu sneered, mercilessly looking at his pitiful blood-stained face: "Give you three days? To find a good excuse in three days, set up a scenario to absolve your guilt? Don’t dream of escaping your responsibility, come back to Tianxi Sin Sword Pool with me."
