For several elders in the clan who once held significant status, Bai Zhan ultimately relented and agreed to let them visit their mother in the ancestral hall, the Previous Generation Bai Clan Legitimate Daughter.
"Have you found out anything?" Although Bai Zhan remained seated in the hall, his tightly clenched fists revealed his anxious mood as he asked urgently.
The returning scout shook his head in silence, indicating that he had not learned anything about what had happened in the ancestral hall.
Bai Zhan took a step forward, ready to kick out in frustration, but suddenly thought of something and forcibly withdrew his foot, dismissing the scout with an irritated wave.
He then hurriedly left the hall, heading toward the backyard.

"The smell is so strong; there must be a big creature ahead." A slightly immature voice was filled with excitement as it eagerly asked, "Brother, should we go take a look?"
The boy, referred to as Brother, dressed in sturdy clothing, looked at his sister with affection and smiled lightly. "Huan'er, are you not afraid?"
Huan'er’s sparkling eyes were full of admiration as she looked at her brother and proudly said, "Huan'er is not afraid. With brother here, Huan'er is not afraid of anything."
The bond between the siblings was undeniable, and even the guards accompanying them couldn't help but exchange smiles.
"Since Huan'er wants to see, let's go take a look," the boy nodded and took his sister's hand as they walked toward the source of the foul smell.
Their destination was none other than where Ouyang Zixin and others were facing the Howling Twin-headed Serpent. Before long, the three parties spotted each other.
"Huan'er, no!" The boy did not expect his sister to suddenly break free from him and dash toward Xiaoshen. He shouted and leaped forward, grabbing her back.
His sternness startled Huan'er, who quickly realized her mistake. She apologized and gently comforted her brother as tears welled up in her eyes. "Huan'er, this place is dangerous. You mustn't run around; brother will worry."
Upon hearing this, Huan'er sniffled and nodded with some grievance. "Brother, don't worry; Huan'er won't run around anymore."
Their conversation went unnoticed by others, causing Ouyang Zixin to facepalm. She thought to herself that compared to them, she truly wasn't indifferent to the Mystical Beast before them.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Baike felt a renewed sense of hope ignited within her, and she called out loudly, "Young Master, please save me."
The man looked up at Baike suspended in mid-air, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes as he seemed to ponder whether he recognized the woman entangled by Xiaoshen.
"Who are you?"
"Brother, what a beautiful sister! She's been captured by Xiaoshen. How pitiful! Please save her!" The younger sister, still childlike in nature, was filled with affection for beautiful things. In contrast, Xiaoshen appeared rather ugly to her, prompting her to tug at her brother's sleeve while speaking up for Baike.
Ning Zhiyuan rarely ventured into the Yuhai Continent and had not made many acquaintances among the noble ladies. Therefore, he did not recognize the two siblings who suddenly appeared before him. However, he could tell from their extraordinary demeanor that they likely held significant status.
Baike had not yet settled the score with Ouyang Zixin regarding the ambush in the cave. If these two truly intervened, then...
"Who are you?" Ouyang Zixin, covered in blood and with her features obscured, asked. She merely wanted to ascertain the identities of these two individuals.
Huan'er, upon turning around, seemed to have just noticed Ouyang Zixin. Startled by her bloodied appearance, she hid behind her brother and peeked out curiously at Ouyang Zixin.
The man was extremely gentle with his sister, doting on her. However, that did not mean he would treat everyone kindly. Upon hearing Ouyang Zixin's question, he slowly turned his head, one hand supporting his sister while he scrutinized Ouyang Zixin from head to toe.
His gaze was quite impolite, causing Ouyang Zixin to feel irritated. Just as she was about to speak up, Ning Zhiyuan interjected first.
Unbeknownst to them both, Ning Zhiyuan and the man had already exchanged blows; their Mysterious Energy clashed in mid-air more than a hundred times. This was merely a test between them. In this place known as Lingchi Peak, opportunities for enmity were abundant. However, if their strengths were evenly matched, it was better to have one less enemy.
Ouyang Zixin remained silent as she observed their exchange while quietly recovering her own Mysterious Energy. The recent bloody battle had left her somewhat fatigued; had it not been for the sudden appearance of these two individuals, she feared she might have already extracted the information she sought from Baike.
"Xin'er Girl, this man is not simple," Ning Zhiyuan remarked as he withdrew his Mysterious Energy, his expression growing serious.
Ouyang Zixin nodded in acknowledgment; she could see it too.
"This young master," she began, "I have three questions for you. If you insist on saving her after answering them," pointing at the pleading Baike, she paused before continuing, "then we will leave."
Upon hearing Ouyang Zixin's words, those around Baike were nearly infuriated to the point of spitting blood. What kind of timing was this? How could they still be asking pointless questions when they clearly saw that the Howling Twin-headed Serpent was torturing them to near death?
It is strange that the Howling Twin-headed Serpent, since its appearance, seems to specifically target Baike and a few others, completely ignoring Ouyang Zixin and the newly appeared siblings.
"Young Master..." Baike cried out in sorrow, hoping he would not agree to Ouyang Zixin's absurd request and would directly come to their rescue.
However, the man was someone with high standards; even if he were to save someone, it had to be according to his own will, not dictated by others.
"Brother..." Huan'er softly called from behind the man, pointing at Baike with an expectant look on her face.
From the situation, it seemed that the battle here had been going on for some time. Yet Ouyang Zixin and his group coldly watched as Baike and the others were toyed with by Xiaoshen, showing no intention of intervening. It was clear that neither side could be considered friends.
The man looked up at Baike again. She was beautiful and had an extraordinary demeanor. Even though she was tightly entangled by Xiaoshen and had multiple wounds on her body, she still evoked sympathy in the night, making it hard for him to bear seeing her suffer further.
"What now?" Ouyang Zixin asked impatiently. What did this man mean? What was he trying to figure out by looking around?
Ning Zhiyuan also did not understand Ouyang Zixin's intentions but said nothing, quietly standing by and observing this man who could match him blow for blow.
"Brother, hurry and save her! They are definitely bad people for watching someone die without helping!" Huan'er said timidly.
Bad people?
Indeed, people from Yuhai Continent had a very unique perspective on issues. Who said that seeing someone in distress and not helping made one a bad person? (To be continued.)
