Last night, Bai Yu only gave a rough at, which left him unclear about what exactly had happehe Fengi Valley he mentioned was the territory allocated to the White-Headed Eagle by the Qingxua.

  "West Wind Pavilion, using the defe of a White-Headed Eagle from the Qingxua as a pretext, framed our for colluding with the demonic sects and gathered forces to attack Fengi Valley. If it were just that, my mother's cultivation would have been enough to lead our to escape. But who would have thought that the Peacock King, who has always been our enemy, would take this opportunity to unch a sneak attay mother? Our was thrown into disarray, and my mother was captured, her fate unknown," Bai Yu said with a hint of deje in his voice.

  "If it weren't for my father apanying Unio the Northerories, these people wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous," it added indignantly.

  "Does the Sect Leader of Qingxua and the Bck Dragon Elder not care about this matter?" Xu Taiping asked, puzzled.

  "The Sect Leader? Hmph, he has long been wary of the power of our White-Headed Eagle . Last night's i might as well have been orchestrated by him. Over the years, he has been weakening the demon s uhe mountain by ing flicts among them."

  "As for the Bck Dragon Elder, he is nothing more than the Sect Leader's watchdog!" Bai Yu snorted coldly.

  Xu Taiping didn't know how to ent on this matter.

  After all, he was a human and couldn't fully empathize with the demons' perspective.

  Moreover, he had seen many records of cultivators dying at the hands of rebellious spirit beasts when he had previously browsed through the sect's archives in the bronze mirror.

  "All cultivators of West Mountain, heed my decree!"

  "All cultivators of West Mountain, heed my decree!"

  "All cultivators of West Mountain, heed my decree!"

  Just then, three secutive voices, like the resounding chime of a great bell, exploded above the Green Bamboo Residence.

  "This seems to be the voice of the West Wind Pavilion's Pavilion Master," Xu Taiping reized at ohat the voice likely beloo Pavilion Master Liu Songshan of West Wind Pavilion.

  "To use the West Mountain's town-guarding artifact, the Fengyu Great Bell, this fellow must be announg somethied to st night's events."

  Hearing this voice, Bai Yu leapt onto Xu Taiping's shoulder, its eyes being vigint.

  Xu Taiping had read about the Fengyu Great Bell in the Jade Scroll of Transmitting Teiques; it was not only West Wind Pavilion's town-guarding spiritual artifact but also a treasure used by the Pavilion to unicate with cultivators within thousands of miles.

  "Last night, the White-Headed Eagle of Fengi Valley rebelled. West Wind Pavilion and Yunling Peacock King joined forces to repel the traitorous demons and quell the rebellion."

  As Bai Yu had expected, the decree issued by Liu Songshan through the great bell was indeed reted to st night's rebellion.

  "These sdrels, they unprovokedly attacked my Fengi Valley, and now they have the audacity to accuse my White-Headed Eagle of rebellion. Shameless!" Bai Yu was furious, nearly revealing its true form to front the people of West Wind Pavilion.

  Fortunately, Xu Taipirai.

  "Don't be hasty, let's hear what else he has to say," Xu Taiping said.

  "Alright," Bai Yu nodded, suppressing its impulse.

  "Although most of the traitorous demons have beeed, there are still many who have slipped through the . You all who enter them in the mountains and kill them will be rewarded with a thousa points, and those who report them will be rewarded with te s."

  Liu Songshan's voice echoed through the mountains once more.

  "They io pletely eradicate my White-Headed Eagle ," Bai Yu said angrily upon hearing this.

  The reward of a thousa s for the killers, and evee s for the reporters, was a signifit sum for the cultivators outside the mountain.

  It was easy to imagihat the loose cultivators in the mountains would now hunt down the surviving White-Headed Eagles with fervor.

  "Xu Taiping, if you're also coveting those merit s, you might as well hand me over to West Wind Pavilion. With my mother dead, there's no point in me living anyway," Bai Yu said, its voice tinged with sorrow.

  "If you really don't want to live, you go yourself. I won't betray a friend for some merit s," Xu Taiping looked at Bai Yu with displeasure.

  He couldn't ent on the Sect Leader's use of pretexts to weaken the demon s, but since Bai Yu was his friend and hadn't itted any heinous acts, he would naturally stand by Bai Yu in such times.

  Bai Yu felt a warmth in its heart upon hearing this, and its previously despo eyes brightened siderably.

  "From now on, Fengi Valley will be managed by the Yunling Peaco, and the transfer of goods i Mountain will also be jointly overseen by the Peacock King a Wind Pavilion."

  Perhaps due to the o activate the treasure, there were intervals between each of Liu Songshan's statements.

  "So that's how it is, that's how it is. One of you covets my Fengi Valley, and the other covets the profits from the trade of goods in the mountains. No wonder you hit it off so well," Bai Yu sneered repeatedly.

  Liu Songshan's statement was undoubtedly revealing their true iions.

  "O thing, we will dispy the White-Headed Eagle Matriarch Ye Que in Fengi Valley for seven days, and after seven days, she will be publicly executed to serve as a warning to others."

  Upon hearing this, Bai Yu stood frozen in pce.

  "Mother... Mother is still alive?!"

  It first gasped in shock, then joyfully excimed, "I must go save my mother!"

  But before it could fly far, Xu Taiping sucked it back with his green gourd.

  "Why are you stopping me again, Xu Taiping?" Bai Yu shouted from ihe gourd.

  "If you 't even break free from this gourd, how are you going to save your mother?" Xu Taiping looked through the mouth of the gourd at Bai Yu, who was jumping and flying inside.

  The power of his gourd was not strong; it couldn't tain ordinary wild animals, let alone a spirit beast like Bai Yu. The only reason he could capture Bai Yu so easily was that it was too weak at the moment.

  Hearing this, Bai Yu ihe gourd immediately hung its head, defted like a punctured ball, and slumped down ihe gourd.

  "But... but I 't just watch them kill my mother, I?" Bai Yu suddenly looked up, peering through the mouth of the gourd at Xu Taiping.

  The usually unruly Bai Yu noeared utterly helpless.

  Seeing Bai Yu's eyes, Xu Taiping also fell silent.

  "Xu Taiping, is there any way for me to see my mother o time? I know it's nearly impossible to rescue her, so I just want to see her one more time."Bai Yu suddenly pleaded with Xu Taiping.

  "As long as you let me see her once, I am willing to form a soul pact with you, to be at your bed call for the sixty years."

  He added with a look of resolute determination in his eyes.
