Chapter 162: The Bai Family
Hearing this, the old man in the crimson robe gave a gentle nod, his voice carrying a slight weight, saying, "This person had been concealing their strength. Their true martial Dao cultivation is absolutely not to be taken lightly."
Murong Feng's eyes shifted slightly, and he looked at the dead Bai Liwei and the old serving woman. A look of satisfaction spread unexpectedly across his face, saying, "The Bai family has well and truly dropped the stone on its own foot. The losses cannot be called anything but severe. A Heaven-Human expert and two half-step Heaven-Human experts, all gone just like that."
"And Bai Liwei, Bai Changfeng's beloved second son, is dead as well. I would dearly love to see the Bai family's face when they learn of this."
...
After dealing with Bai Liwei and the others who had blocked their path and leaving the scene, Hu Rui'an's group met with no further obstruction and traveled freely the rest of the way.
About one incense stick's worth of time later, with Murong Xiaoya's guidance, they finally arrived at the Murong family estate in the provincial city.
The Murong family, as Sheng Province's foremost martial arts lineage, lived up to its reputation. The main gate towered over the entrance, more than three zhang high.
The bronze gate leaves stood wide open. Two intricately carved xuanite guardian beasts flanked the entrance, their eyes inlaid with shining pearls, and the protective walls on either side swept outward like wings.
After Wu Shang announced their identities, the estate's steward and a young nobleman in a fine robe, tall and of outstanding bearing, came out in person to receive them.
