Oh no!

Hearing his young master's words, Jiang Yuan's heart suddenly tightened, and he secretly cried out that things were not going well.

Sure enough, at this moment, Ba Dao's eyes suddenly narrowed deeply, looking at Bai Shan with an extremely dangerous gaze, coldly saying word by word:

"Are you threatening me?"

Bai Shan opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but the pressure that Ba Dao suddenly brought upon him, like Mount Tai, left him unable to utter a single complete sentence for a moment.

It was only at this point that Bai Shan was alarmed by his own situation, and cold sweat immediately ran down his back.

"Friend, what happened just now was all a misunderstanding. Please, for the sake of our Independent Cultivator Alliance, let's let this matter pass for now. I, Jiang Yuan, apologize to you, my friend."

While Bai Shan was being overwhelmed by Ba Dao's aura, Jiang Yuan finally stepped forward, clasping his hands in a salute to Ba Dao and spoke.

"What? Is your Independent Cultivator Alliance that impressive? Do you mean to use your alliance's backing to pressure me just like this kid?"

Regardless of Jiang Yuan's concession, Ba Dao paid him no heed but instead pointed at Bai Shan, his expression cold as ice, and said.

Jiang Yuan's expression suddenly changed, and his face grew increasingly somber as he held back his anger and began speaking calmly:

"Then may I ask, friend, what exactly do you want to let us go?"

Ba Dao's face showed a touch of mockery, and he said disdainfully, "I already told you, both of you cut off one arm yourselves and then leave this platform. Perhaps you didn't hear me clearly earlier?"

Seeing Ba Dao's firm attitude and his clear lack of intention to let the two of them go, Jiang Yuan's tone suddenly became chilling.

"Friend, when conducting matters, it is sometimes best not to go too far, or else you may invite disaster upon yourself."

"Oh, is that so? Then I really do want to see how exactly I might bring disaster upon myself."

After speaking, Ba Dao wasted no more words, and a trace of evil qi flashed in his eyes.

Without visible movement, two blades of golden light flashed, slashing left and right directly towards Jiang Yuan and Bai Shan!

"You...!"

A flash of anger appeared on Jiang Yuan's face, and he was just about to summon his magical treasure to counterattack when he suddenly felt a tightness in his body.

Before he could react to this sudden change, he suddenly felt a pain in his right arm.

The next moment, his right arm had already been severed and soared high, landing with a thud directly in front of him!

"Ah!"

At the same time, a scream erupted from Bai Shan's side.

Jiang Yuan looked over in shock to see the golden blade aura sweep past Bai Shan's shoulder, slicing through it like tofu, directly severing Bai Shan's arm along with his shoulder!

"How is this possible?"

Jiang Yuan was utterly shocked, never imagining Ba Dao's strength would be so overpowering.

They were at the same cultivation realm, yet he couldn't withstand even one move from Ba Dao. If what had been severed was their necks instead of their arms...

Jiang Yuan dared not think any further. At this moment, he finally understood why the opposing side faced him and Bai Shan with such unyielding confidence.

Not to mention the opponent's background, the strength exhibited was absolutely not something the two of them could contend with at present.

Even if they utilized a swarm of killing creatures, there probably wouldn't be much effect.

Upon this realization, Jiang Yuan no longer wished to stay on this platform.

Immediately, he picked up both his and Bai Shan's severed arms and, pulling Bai Shan along, disappeared from this platform without looking back.

Watching Jiang Yuan and Bai Shan leave without looking back, the entire platform suddenly fell into silence.

Everyone was stunned, watching Ba Dao, unable to believe that he truly dared to act against the people of the Independent Cultivator Alliance.

Not only did he act, but with one move, he directly severed one arm from each of the two.

Zhu Fei's eyes slightly narrowed, as from Ba Dao's brief action just now, he suddenly sensed a strange yet somewhat familiar aura.

And the source of that aura was from a Golden Immortal Practitioner from the Seven Stars Immortal Sect that he had sensed when opposing the Void Demons with Chen Tianxing and the others.

Could it be that the Ba Dao before him also hails from the Seven Stars Immortal Sect?

If this is the case, it well explains why Ba Dao dismisses the Independent Cultivator Alliance so lightly.

Indeed, while the Independent Cultivator Alliance is a relatively loose organization with considerable strength, it still falls short when compared to the Seven Stars Immortal Sect, which has a legacy of countless millennia.

"Master Ye, I apologize. Although I had the strength to eliminate those two just now, they are nonetheless from the Independent Cultivator Alliance. There are certain surface protocols, even from me, that cannot be easily violated. Truly sorry."

At this moment, Ba Dao approached Zhu Fei, explaining with a slightly apologetic tone.

Zhu Fei's eyes flickered slightly, then he shook his head with a smile, saying, "No problem. Ba Dao, senior, achieving as much as you have is already an explanation enough for me."

After pausing, Zhu Fei suddenly raised his hand, drawing a light image in the void.

Within the light image stood a white-clad youth in the air, and Zhu Fei pointed to the youth, asking Ba Dao:

"By the way, Ba Dao, senior, do you recognize this senior in my light image?"

"Junior Brother Xu!"

Just as Zhu Fei finished speaking, Ba Dao exclaimed in surprise, then looked at Zhu Fei with some amazement and asked:

"Master Ye, this person is a genius of my Seven Stars Immortal Sect, named Xu Guanglie, and also my friend. Could it be you know him?"

Just as I guessed.

Zhu Fei confirmed in his heart, but on the surface, he just smiled and shook his head slightly, saying:

"Not really. But I have met this senior once. Back then, he invited me to find him, but I was occupied at the time, so I neglected the opportunity."

As he spoke, Zhu Fei retrieved a Communication Jade Token from his possessions and handed it to Ba Dao:

"This is the Communication Jade Token the senior gave me for contacting him."

Ba Dao took the Communication Jade Token from Zhu Fei, immediately confirming the truth of Zhu Fei's words at a glance.

With this connection, the look in Ba Dao's gaze towards Zhu Fei became slightly more cordial, and he couldn't help but ask:

"I see, but Master Ye, why did you tell me this?"
