Chapter 629 Between A Rock And A Hard Place

The two old menʼs expressions remained grim.

For a moment, neither side moved.

Although Bai Ren and Bai Chu had revealed themselves as Golden Immortals, the two old men gradually calmed down.

Panic would solve nothing.

The first old man took a deep breath.

His gaze shifted toward Long Haotian, who was still pinned beneath Bai Zihanʼs sword.

Then his eyes flashed subtly.

A silent message was conveyed.

Give up!

The second old man did the same.

They had both lost their composure because Long Haotianʼs life appeared to be at risk, but after calming down, they finally realized that there shouldnʼt be any real danger to his life.

It was merely a duel.

It shouldnʼt lead to Long Haotianʼs death.

They had simply panicked. Otherwise, they would never have become so worked up.

Long Haotianʼs face twisted slightly.

Under the pressure of the Eternal Spirit Sword resting against his neck, he eventually clenched his teeth and nodded.

He had already lost anyway.

Seeing this, the two old men relaxed somewhat.

In their eyes, the situation was still salvageable.

After all, there wasnʼt any true life-and-death grudge between the two sides.

The duel had simply gone badly.

Yes, Long Haotianʼs wager had been disrespectful towards Bai Zihan.

Yes, they had become overly aggressive afterward.

But Bai Zihan had agreed to the duel himself.

At the end of the day, it was merely a contest between juniors.

Surely Bai Zihan would release Long Haotian now.

That was the most reasonable outcome.

”I give up. You win!”

Long Haotian admitted through his gritted teeth.

Unfortunately for him, Bai Zihan made no move to withdraw his sword.

Bai Zihan asked, his sword still resting at Long Haotianʼs neck.

”What is your purpose for coming here?”

The question was simple.

Yet the moment it was spoken, the expressions of all three people changed.

Long Haotian froze.

The two old menʼs pupils contracted.

Their hearts skipped a beat.

How could Bai Zihan possibly know they had come here for something?

The first old manʼs thoughts raced.

The second old manʼs gaze sharpened.

But both immediately reached the same conclusion.

It had to be a coincidence.

What Bai Zihan probably suspected was that Long Haotian might be targeting him under the guise of pursuing Chu Ziyan and Bai Xueqing.

They didnʼt believe Bai Zihan had any idea about their true purpose in the Desolate Heaven Empire.

There was no way.

The Long Clanʼs mission had been kept extremely confidential.

Even within the clan itself, very few people knew the truth.

Meanwhile, Long Haotian quickly regained his composure.

Although his face remained pale, he immediately forced a confused expression onto it.

”What are you talking about?”

His voice sounded somewhat stiff.

”I donʼt understand what you mean.”

Long Haotianʼs expression did not change in the slightest.

”You donʼt understand?”

Bai Zihanʼs sword pressed slightly closer to his neck.

A tiny stream of blood trickled down.

Long Haotianʼs body instantly stiffened.

Then Bai Zihan calmly reminded him.

”Did you forget the Heavenly Vow you made?”

The moment those words were spoken, Long Haotianʼs face changed.

The two old menʼs expressions also darkened.

The condition they had all dismissed because they never believed Long Haotian would lose.

Yet now, he had lost.

And the vow was still binding.

Bai Zihanʼs gaze remained fixed on Long Haotian.

His voice became colder.

”I made a bet that you would do anything I ask, and what I want is for you to answer my questions truthfully.”

Bai Zihan said. With that condition in place, if Long Haotian dared to avoid answering or attempted to deceive him, he would be struck by Heavenly Tribulation.

”Iʼll ask again! Why did you come to the Desolate Heaven Empire?”

The last trace of composure vanished from Long Haotianʼs face.

This time, there was no room for misunderstanding.

Bai Zihan knew.

He wasnʼt guessing.

He wasnʼt fishing for information due to some misunderstanding.

He already knew that they had come to the Desolate Heaven Empire for a mission.

He was asking because he already knew there was something worth asking about.

The two old men exchanged glances.

Shock gradually appeared in their eyes.

Their hearts sank.

It didnʼt seem as though Bai Zihan was making a random guess.

Rather, he already knew they had come here for some purpose.

Long Haotianʼs forehead began to sweat.

He couldnʼt possibly answer.

If he did, the Long Clan would never let him off easily.

The mission involved interests far greater than himself.

But if he lied?

Then he would be struck by Heavenly Tribulation.

Even with his arrogance, he knew what happened to those struck by Heavenly Tribulation.

Most died. Those who survived often became crippled.

”...”

Long Haotian remained silent.

His fists clenched tightly.

The Heavenly Vow hung over his head like an executionerʼs blade.

He couldnʼt answer.

The mission concerned the Long Clanʼs greatest interests.

If he revealed it, even if he survived today, the clan would never forgive him.

Perhaps even his status as heir would be revoked.

Even with his talent, that position was not untouchable.

Yet if he lied…

The Heavenly Vow would immediately react and Heavenly Tribulation would descend.

That outcome was no better.

Thus, he could only remain silent and try to delay things.

His only hope now rested on the two old men.

As long as they rescued him, he wouldnʼt need to answer anything.

The two old men naturally understood this as well.

Since matters had reached this point, there was no point hiding anything.

The first old man looked directly at Bai Zihan.

His voice became significantly colder.

”Young man. You already know who we are. Then you should also understand that antagonizing us will not benefit you.”

The second old man nodded.

”The Long Clan is not something your Bai Clan can afford to offend.”

His gaze swept across the Heaven Sword Sect.

Then across the entire Desolate Heaven Empire.

A trace of arrogance appeared in his eyes.

”Not just your Bai Clan. Even this entire empire. If our Long Clan wishes it, we can erase it from existence.”

The surrounding crowdʼs expressions changed.

Although the statement sounded incredibly arrogant, the pressure the two old men had displayed earlier suggested it might not be an empty threat.

Perhaps they truly possessed such power.

”Release the Young Master and assist us. The rewards you receive will be far beyond your imagination.”

The two old men first tried intimidation and then offered benefits.

Knowing that Bai Zihan was aware of their background, they felt that he wouldnʼt want to offend them too deeply.

They also knew a little about the Bai Clan, which was hailed as the strongest clan in the Desolate Heaven Empire.

With the Bai Clanʼs help, they might be able to complete their mission much more easily.

Therefore, they offered rewards to Bai Zihan in exchange for his cooperation.

Since Bai Zihan knew their background, they believed he would be able to see the benefits of their offer.

As for whether they would actually reward him afterward...

The two old men inwardly sneered.

After all, Bai Zihan had dared to threaten the Young Masterʼs life and interfere with their mission.

He would be fortunate if they chose not to destroy his clan completely afterward.

Unfortunately, Bai Zihan looked completely uninterested.

His expression didnʼt change at all.

Instead, he pressed the Eternal Spirit Sword slightly deeper against Long Haotianʼs neck.

A thin stream of blood flowed down.

Long Haotianʼs entire body stiffened.

Bai Zihan spoke calmly.

”Forget Heavenly Tribulation.”

His voice was indifferent.

”If you donʼt answer...”

His gaze locked onto Long Haotian.

”You wonʼt survive what comes next.”

Long Haotianʼs face instantly turned pale.

The two old menʼs expressions darkened.

At this point, they finally realized something.

Bai Zihan wasnʼt bluffing, nor was he afraid of them.

From the very beginning, he had intended to get answers.

One way or another.

The first old man slowly exhaled.

His eyes became icy.

”It seems negotiation is impossible.”

The second old man nodded.

”Weʼll take the Young Master and leave.”

The first old man agreed.

”This place is far more complicated than we anticipated.”

Their original confidence had already disappeared.

Golden Immortals.

Two of them.

Such a force should not have existed in the Desolate Heaven Empire.

The information they possessed was completely wrong.

However, that only made them more determined to leave.

As long as they escaped today, they could report everything back to the clan.

Compared to the true power of the Long Clan, the forces present here were insignificant.

At that time…

The first old man glanced at Bai Ren.

Then at Bai Chu.

Finally, his gaze landed on Bai Zihan.

A cold light flashed through his eyes.

(Weʼll see if youʼre still this arrogant then.)

Boom!

Golden Immortal Qi erupted.

The two old men moved simultaneously.

Terrifying pressure swept across the battlefield.

The surrounding space distorted.

Their target was obvious.

Long Haotian!

They intended to rescue him by force.

Unfortunately—

Before either of them could approach—

Bai Ren smiled.

Bai Chuʼs eyes narrowed.

The two Golden Immortals of the Bai Clan stepped forward at the same time.

Boom!!!

Four Golden Immortal auras collided directly above the ruined arena.
