Leveling Up And Becoming Undefeatable

Chapter 1101: Strike First

“We fight!”

Once Bai Qi said those words, Bai Kong, who was lying on the ground, quickly got up and questioned, “Bai Qi, what did you say?! Do you really want to destroy the Bai family?!”

All the other elders walked out to the courtyard and questioned Bai Qi, “Patriarch, are you really going to destroy the Bai family for this kid?”

“You need to think carefully.”

“Is this really your final decision?”

“You are treating the lives of the few hundred Bai family clansmen as a joke.”

The six elders spoke up one after another.

Bai Qi walked over to the six elders and said, “We don’t have a choice. We can only fight. Elders, please help me tide over this difficult time. I truly believe that our Bai family will be the ones to have the last laugh.”

“Hahaha…”

“The ones to have the last laugh?”

“Bai Qi, oh Bai Qi. If I had known this would have happened, I would’ve supported Bai Yuan with all my strength. If it were him being in charge, he would never have made such a decision. You are destroying the Bai family for an outsider. You are the sinner of the Bai family!” said Bai Kong with a pained expression.

Immediately after, Bai Kong said with all seriousness, “From today onward, I am leaving the Bai family. Whatever happens to the Bai family will have nothing to do with me.”

The other elders all declared they were leaving the Bai family.

They were all experts of the Bai family, so it was a huge loss for them to leave.

Even though Bai Qi was mentally prepared, he was still pained by this. He tried persuading, “Bai Kong, your father and my father and biological brothers. Can you really bear to leave the Bai family at this time? You should stay, and all the other elders should stay. We will definitely be able to get past this crisis!”

Bai Kong sneered, “I will say the same words – hand Luo Tian over to the four great families, and I will stay. Otherwise, I am not going to stay here and wait for my death. I, Bai Kong, wish to live a few extra years!”

Bai Xiong stepped forward and shouted, “Go on and scram if you want to leave! The Bai family doesn’t need you types of gutless people! The four great families allied themselves and instantly made you cowards reveal your true form! What use are you guys to the Bai family?!”

Bai Qi tried to interrupt, “Bai Xiong!”

Bai Lingling added, “Father, what big brother said is right. They are only parasites who want to take up the resources of the Bai family but don’t want to share the burden. The Bai family will eventually collapse under their management. Since they all want to leave, just let them leave. Don’t keep any one of them behind.”

“Hahaha…”

“Hahaha…”

“What a cold heart!” Bai Kong had an icy cold expression as he stared at Bai Xiong and Bai Lingling. He chuckled before waving his hand and saying, “Let’s go!”

They didn’t immediately leave from the main gate and started walking to their residence first.

At this moment, Bai Qi had a deep frown on his face. Since they had shredded all pretenses, then there was really no need to keep dwelling on it.

Since they were not being righteous, then there was no need to be polite to them.

“Hold on!” Bai Qi shouted.

He stopped the six people with a shout before saying, “Since you have already left the Bai family, I would like to ask you to immediately leave the Bai family manor now. As for the things in your residence, those were given to you by the Bai family, and everything you have was fostered by the Bai family. This can be considered a little interest that the Bai family will be collecting from you.”

“What?!”

“Bai Qi, you are too presumptuous!”

“Outrageous!”

“…”

The six were flaring up in anger.

Their eyes were spraying out flames, and they looked like they wanted to swallow Bai Qi whole.

Bai Qi didn’t want them to return to their residence because they would take away items that belonged to the Bai family and most likely make this incident even bigger with the other family members. A large portion of the outer sect disciples were already planning to leave the Bai family. If the six elders spread the news of their departure, the Bai family would perish without the need for the allied army of the four great families.

The priority right now was to drive Bai Kong and the other five out of the Bai manor.

They cannot be allowed to take even a single elite disciple of the Bai family with them!

The elite disciples of the Bai family were the Bai family’s foundation!

Bai Kong furrowed his brow and said, “Good, good, good! Bai Qi, what a good move on your end. Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for being impolite. We’ll see what happens later on!”

Bai Kong looked at the elders around him and said softly, “Let’s go.”

At this time, Luo Tian walked over to Bai Qi and said, “Uncle Bai, we can’t let them leave just like that. They will definitely be a calamity waiting to happen after they leave.”

Bai Kong suddenly stopped and turned around to glare at Luo Tian with killing intent. He then scolded, “You damn dog thing! If it weren’t for you, the Bai family wouldn’t have ended up in such a mess like this! Whatever is happening to the Bai family is all thanks to you!”

The moment he decided to leave the Bai family, Bai Kong was already thinking of avenues of retreat.

But with Luo Tian’s words, Bai Kong’s heart sank. His hatred for Luo Tian had shot through the roof while saying to himself, “Luo Tian, I will definitely not spare you!”

Bai Qi naturally knew what Luo Tian was implying.

He also knew that once Bai Kong left the Bai family, there was a 100% chance that he would join one of the four great families. When that happens, the Bai family will come under even greater pressure when the battle starts. They will also be under public pressure from the Towering Cloud City citizens as well.

Bai Qi clenched his fists but eventually loosened them up. He said, “Let them leave.”

He was unable to bring himself to attack.

Out of the six, three of them were people from his biological uncles. These were his cousins, so he couldn’t bear to make a move against them.

Luo Tian didn’t say anything more.

Everyone has their own concerns in their mind. Since Bai Qi had promised to let them go, it would be bad for Luo Tian to say anything more. After all, this was an internal matter of the Bai family, and it wasn’t good for him to interfere.

Bai Kong’s heart relaxed, and his mouth curved into a cold sneer. He glared at Luo Tian one more time before quickly leaving the Bai family.

After the six of them left, the main hall only had Bai Qi, Luo Tian, Bai Xiong, Bai Lingling, and Lin Dong remaining.

The large main hall looked empty and depressing.

Bai Qi frowned as he constantly tried to think of a way to get through this difficult time. However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t come up with a good solution. As for the “we fight” he mentioned earlier, it was just a response to choosing Luo Tian. He actually had no idea how they were going to fight this war.

More than ten minutes went by.

A disciple ran into the main hall and reported, “Reporting to the patriarch – your guess was correct. Bai Kong and the others went to the Deng family, and were received by Deng Leigong’s eldest son.”

Bai Qi smiled bitterly. Even though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn’t help feeling pain in his heart.

Luo Tian then stood forward and said, “Uncle Bai, this is a chance for us. Use Bai Kong’s departure to paint a picture of betrayal as soon as possible. The Bai family must unite at such a critical juncture, and Bai Kong’s betrayal can be a catalyst to unite everyone’s heart.”

“Uncle Bai, you should personally attend to this matter because you are the Bai family’s patriarch.”

Bai Qi stood up and asked, “Even if we do this, how are we going to deal with the four great families?”

Luo Tian chuckled before saying, “Strike first!”
