Bai Chen slowly came back to his senses after a long while. He moaned softly as the pain was eating at him like his bones were being crushed to pieces.
His eyes slowly opened. His sight was still blurry.
‘What just happened?’ Bai Chen tried to suppress the pain. He was confused.
Shortly after, he remembered what had happened. The grey bear had attacked him right when he was about to cut off its head.
Once he realised that, he sprang up because he was afraid that the grey bear might still be alive and would take this chance to kill him. It looked like he was overthinking things, since he could now see that the bear was already dead.
Its head had almost been cut off. Its black blood had started to congeal.
Bai Chen could not help but sigh. He did not have to worry anymore.
Ding!

The mission-accomplishment window popped up in front of him. Bai Chen looked at it with satisfaction and closed it down.
At that moment, Bai Chen’s facial expression changed. He could sense a movement not that far from him. He saw two figures.
‘Someone’s coming!’ Bai Chen felt a heaviness inside him. He did not think that someone would come here.
He was injured. It would be bad to stay here any longer since he did not know if those people were friends or foes.
Without hesitation, Bai Chen turned around and was ready to run away. At that moment, a voice stopped him.
“Stop right there!”
At that sound, Bai Chen stopped thinking about fleeing. His facial expression was a little dark. He eventually sighed at his misfortune and turned back around.
At that time, the two people that he saw had arrived. They were a man and a woman in their early thirties. The man’s face was square and a bit skinny. His eyebrows were thick. He was dressed in dark grey.
As for the woman, she had a good shape, yet was not that good-looking. She was also dressed in dark grey.
‘Formation realm cultivators!’ Bai Chen’s heart skipped a beat at seeing that they were standing on their flying swords.
Only cultivators at the formation realm and higher could do that.
“I can’t believe a secondary foundation cultivator managed to kill a tertiary foundation grey bear.”
The man said this. His name was Song Ma Xiao. He was a member of the Song family.
There was only one Song family in Xin Ye city, and it was extremely powerful. It was one of the two big families in the city.
There were 6 main bases of power in Xin Ye city: the governor’s official residence, the Violet Stars trade association, the Tien Nan trade association, the Song family, the Lei family, and the Blazing Flames sect.
The governor’s official residence was the most powerful of all since a legendary realm cultivator was there. He was the present ruler of the city.
“He seems to be rather gifted.” The woman spoke coldly through her teeth.
She was not pleased that Bai Chen had been able to kill the tertiary foundation beast when he was only at the secondary level.
The reason for this was jealousy. Bai Chen’s ability was beyond hers.
When she had been at the secondary level, she had not had the slightest ability to kill beasts of higher levels; she could only run away when she encountered them.
Actually, Song Ma Xiao felt the same.
He could not hide jealousy in his eyes.
“Wu Ya, don’t spout such nonsense. He was only lucky. Otherwise, he wouldn’t had been able to kill the grey bear!” Song Ma Xiao stared coldly at Bai Chen.
“The Wu family?” Bai Chen’s face twitched a little after hearing what Song Ma Xiao said.
The words ‘Wu family’ affected him a bit since Wu Fan, the man he had to kill, was also from that family.
“My name’s Wu Ya. What about it?!?” Wu Ya frowned with dissatisfaction.
Bai Chen’s face quickly withered. He said softly, “Nothing.”
He knew that if he made these two mad, he might end up dead, since his current strength was not comparable to theirs.
“Heh!” Seeing that, Wu Ya exclaimed through her teeth with disdain.
“Wu Ya, what should we do with him? Kill him?” Song Ma Xiao asked coldly.
Bai Chen’s facial expression changed drastically. He did not expect that Song Ma Xiao would say that.
“Excellent!” Wu Ya quickly nodded and clapped her hands with delight.
“I’ll do it right now. I won’t waste my time, then!” Song Ma Xiao laughed coldly. He stepped down from his sword and grabbed it with his hand. He was ready to confront Bai Chen.
The reason why he wanted to kill Bai Chen was because of his jealousy towards him!
“Not so fast, Ma Xiao.” Wu Ya stopped Song Ma Xiao with her hand. He stepped down from her flying sword. “Let me deal with him. I really want to kill him!”
“Is that so?” Song Ma Xiao turned to look at Wu Ya.
Wu Ya was his wife. If she wanted to do it, he should let her do it.
“You do it, then.”
p
She obviously was not afraid that Bai Chen would run away since he would not be able to do so successfully anyhow.
‘I didn’t expect to kill a person today,’ Wu Ya thought with a smile.
She and her husband, Song Ma Xiao, had just walked into this part of the forest.
They had not expected to smell blood. They’d rushed to the scene and here they were.
