Overriding the Heaven

Previously, they had chosen to cooperate with Chu Yan, on one hand, because he was indeed very strong, and on the other hand, it was an action that they could do nothing about.    

If he wasn't at the end of the line, why would he choose to work with a single cultivator?    

But now, after Chu Yan revealed his identity, it was completely different.    

Heaven's Edge Sect was the biggest sect in the Upper Nation!    

Even if it was just a single leg hair, it would still be enough to crush the Door of Limits hundreds of times over.    

And the identity Chu Yan had right now was also not the identity he held in the Horizon Sect Disciple when he had just arrived in the same boat city.    

In the heart of the heavens, everyone was an ant.    

Once they stepped into the celestial mood stage, their position in the sect would be countless times higher than before.    

To put it simply, when Chu Yan left the Heaven's Edge Sect, he stayed in a thatched cottage that leaked air everywhere. Now that he was back, he lived in a luxurious palace!    

So now, Bai Jian even had a feeling that they were not cooperating with Chu Yan, but had hugged onto Chu Yan's thighs, with Chu Yan as their big backer!    

On the other hand, there was a trace of reverence and confusion in Bai Xiu Xiu's eyes. It was as if she couldn't believe that Chu Yan was actually a disciple of the Heaven's Edge Sect, no, Master.    

This feeling was like an ordinary person suddenly meeting the emperor on the street. It made people feel like it was not very real.    

"Get up." Chu Yan nodded.    

He naturally knew the reason behind the change in Bai Qi's attitude, but seeing through it was not the same as saying it was wrong. Furthermore, from a logical point of view, Bai Jian's current actions were not wrong, and Chu Yan was indeed interested in the Bai Clan's spatial crack.    

"Master Chu, what should we do next?" Bai Ju asked cautiously as he caught up to her.    

"Did the Bai Clan lose much today?" Chu Yan did not answer, but asked another question in reply.    

Bai Jian raised his head and looked around.    

The Bai Clan's losses today were definitely not small.    

The destruction of the house and wall was mainly due to the loss of face. If the loss of spirit stones was taken into account, it was truly not a big loss.    

The impact on the building was not too great. It was almost like experiencing a small earthquake.    

The buildings did not collapse too much. There were some that were a bit crooked. It would be better if they were repaired.    

However, the injured clansmen might be severely injured and would need a long period of time to recuperate.    

The Bai Clan's cultivators were scarce nowadays, and they had suffered a few more heavy injuries today. If one had to talk about losses, then the clan's side would be the real one.    

However, compared to the two teachers who died, the Door of Limits who severely injured a Senior Master, and the City Lord who was sent flying, the Bai Clan's losses seemed to be negligible.    

After some careful consideration, Bai Qi replied, "Although the loss is a bit painful, it's still within an acceptable range."    

Originally, today was a day where he would have a chance of destroying his family. Compared to the worst case scenario, this situation was already countless times better.    

It was like heaven and earth.    

"Then let's wait for someone to compensate us." Chu Yan said indifferently.    

"Compensation?" Bai Ju was startled for a moment, then immediately understood that Chu Yan was referring to the Limitless Gate and the City Lord's Mansion.    

But he also felt that it was a bit unbelievable.    

The Limitless Gate and the City Lord's Mansion were already like this today, how could they still lower their heads and come over to compensate?    

Wouldn't that be like stealing a chicken to eat rice, losing its teeth, and swallowing blood?    

Four hours later, he received his answer to the question that popped up in his mind.    

The current number two of the City Lord's Mansion came to pay their respects with the gifts of dozens of carriages.    

Since the establishment of the new city, it had been decades since such a grand show had occurred.    

The City Lord's Mansion's compensation form of gifts was dazzling to the eye.    

All sorts of miraculous elixirs and medicines, all kinds of rare materials, and all sorts of spirit stone talismans made Bai Jian suspect that the City Lord's Mansion might have accumulated all these years in one go.    

When he handed the gift over to Chu Yan, Chu Yan took a glance and did not pay any more attention to it.    

Bai Ao had seen the number two in the City Lord's Mansion before.    

Previously, when he was conversing with Bai Gao, although they were still friendly, they were still able to sense a faint aura of power from him.    

But today, it was completely different.    

Usually, the number two in the Pingzhou City, who was ranked second only to the City Lord, would kneel down and raise his hands in a frenzy.    

If anyone who often came into contact with him were to see such an expression, their eyeballs would probably pop out of their sockets.    

The number two carefully indicated that he could see Master Heaven's Edge Sect and express his sincere apologies to the City Lord.    

The main reason why the mayor didn't come at the moment was because he was not feeling well. Otherwise, even if someone had to carry him, he would have to be carried over.    

On account of the long gift slip, Bai Jian hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still rejected it in Chu Yan's place.    

Chu Yan was definitely not willing to see the City Lord's Mansion.    

It was not because Chu Yan was too disgusted with the City Lord's Mansion, but because the people from the City Lord's Mansion were not worthy to see him.    

After being rejected, the number two in the City Lord's Mansion didn't look too sad, but he still expressed regret and fear.    

Bai Jian asked quietly, "What is the current situation of the mayor?"    

Number two's reply was: It's already been sewn up, but it can't move around for the time being.    

"Sewing..." This answer caused Bai Jian's expression to change.    

Didn't that mean that it was shattered all of a sudden?    

The number two from the City Lord's Mansion did not stay in the Bai Clan for too long. On one hand, since the Bai Clan had already accepted the gift, it meant that the Bai Clan would not pursue the matter today. On the other hand, the number two also did not dare to stay in the Bai Clan for too long.    

One had to know that in the Bai family residence, there was a vicious and fiendish High Master Heaven's Edge Sect!    

Before leaving, the number two indicated to Bai Fu that tomorrow morning, the City Lord's Mansion would send over craftsmen to repair the Bai Clan's residence to its most perfect degree with the fastest speed.    

Naturally, Bai Jian wouldn't reject.    

Thus, with the satisfaction of completing the mission, the City Lord Palace's Number Two left the Bai Clan.    

However, when he left, he could clearly feel that his back was drenched.    

The next morning, the City Lord's Mansion arranged a total of over a hundred blacksmiths. They came to the Bai Clan to repair various houses, gardens, roads, and so on.    

Judging from their intense work, it could be said that the Bai Clan had completely changed by the time they were finished in a few days' time. However, compared to their destitute and destitute residence from before, they felt like they had been given a new lease of life.    

On the second day, two cultivators appeared in front of the Bai Clan at noon.    

One of these two cultivators had a head full of white hair, but it was the face of a middle-aged man. His skin was white and rosy, and his eyes were sparkling.    

The other person was quite old as well. When he stood a step behind that person, he raised his head and looked at Elder Yuan who was hanging on the flagpole. Then, he looked at the dozen or so disciples of the Ultimate Martial School kneeling beside the flagpole and frowned.    

At the same time, Bai Jian also received a report from his clansmen: the Ji Sect's Sect Leader had arrived.
