Guo Yi returned to the White Mansion, feeling somewhat different. Although it was still the same vermilion-painted golden gate and the majestic white stone walls of the mansion, a tense and murderous aura seemed to seep out from within.
The thick and heavy gate of the White House was tightly closed, a hundred feet high Xuan Guang array completely covered the entire gate. This array was set up by the top-level figures of the White family, it was a killing array. Of course, this array couldn't stop the joint attack of the nine top masters at all, it was just a symbolic gesture.
After all, the Bai family also knew that the attack time set by the nine major forces was on August 15th. Generally speaking, the nine masters of law would not dare to easily rush into the White House, and this large array was just intimidating some petty people.
Guo Yi walked around the gate of the White family's mansion, he knew that these Law Domain masters were nearby, but he didn't detect any aura of a powerful expert.
"An expert indeed, as elusive as a dragon!"
Guo Yi sighed and then put on the white robe of the third-class guard of the White family, heading towards the west gate of the White Mansion.
At present, the Bai family is in a critical moment, and life and death are on the line. The four gates of the mansion have been closed, and ordinary people cannot enter. Guo Yao originally belonged to the Western Camp Guard, and the guards guarding the west gate were also from the Western Camp Guard. Most of these people knew Guo Yao, so it was easiest to get in from here.
"Boom!"
Kuo Yeh had just reached the west gate when he heard a burst of clashing steel and the occasional mournful cry, the most anguished wail that can be uttered by a man at the moment of death.
The sounds of fierce battle were extremely dense, with rows and rows of formations rushing to the sky, turning large pieces of flesh into powder. It can be seen that the number of people involved in the struggle is quite numerous.
"Could it be that one of the nine major powers has already made a move against the Bai family?" Guo Yi's mind was filled with doubts.
Like a large-scale battle to attack an ancient Xianjia family, once the time is set, it will not be easily changed. This involves many things, including the allocation of benefits in the early stage, the soft advancement on the side, and the gathering of masters from all parties, which requires a lot of time scheduling.
The nine law enforcers can only surround the White family, preventing some scattered members of the White family from escaping the White House. It's worth noting that for a large immortal cultivation family like the White family, it would be easy to break through the siege of the nine law enforcers, but once they do, they will inevitably engage in an intense battle with the nine law enforcers. At the moment the battle begins, the powerful experts from the nine major forces hiding in Huadu Holy City can rush over immediately. By then, the White family members would have lost their stronghold of the White House, which has been built for tens of thousands of years, and will only be defeated faster.
That's why just nine law enforcers can suppress all the Bai family members and dare not move.
At this time, there are still nearly two months until August 15th. The nine major powers will absolutely only surround and not attack. If it's not someone from the nine major powers who made a move, then who is it?
"White leader, the White family is already on its last legs and it's not worth our continued loyalty. Brothers just want to find a way out, so don't make things difficult for us, let us leave!"
Outside the west gate, Bai Jian led a team of white-robed guards to block nearly a thousand West Manor guards who wanted to escape from the White Manor. The two sides had just experienced a fierce battle, with dozens of bodies lying on the ground, many of whom were already injured.
Bai Jian held a white spiritual sword in his hand, coldly gazing at these brothers he had brought up with one hand, saying: "At the time of the White family's crisis, you brothers are not helping each other, but instead are kicking them when they're down. Is this what a true man should do?"
"Your Excellency, the nine major forces have joined hands to attack the White House. This matter has already spread throughout the streets and alleys. It can be said with certainty that the White House is doomed to perish. If we brothers still stay here, isn't it seeking death?" A ninth-grade guard from the Ling Palace said.
Another white-robed fourth-level guardian said, "Even the seven major evil lands have joined forces at the same time. The White family will surely be wiped out, and these evil demons' methods are ruthless and poisonous. I don't want to die under their evil claws."
"It's not just me who wants to escape, the Western Garrison Camp. I heard that last night, all the guards of the Southern Garrison Camp collectively escaped, and even the leader of the Southern Garrison followed them out of the White House."
"It's not just the South Garrison, but also the North Garrison and East Garrison, more than half of their guards have escaped. Only our West Garrison is still holding on to death. Commander Bai, please give us a way out! I've only been married for three months, my wife is pregnant with my child, I don't want my kid to be born without a father." A thin and weak third-class guard knelt down in front of Bai Jian.
The hand holding the white sword trembled constantly, a cold and ruthless glint flashed in his eyes as he bellowed: "Useless thing! I've always hated people who switch sides with the wind. I don't care about the other three guard camps, but I absolutely won't allow my subordinates to be such cowards. Whoever dares to step out of this mansion's gate even a single step, I'll slaughter them!"
"Hey, White Big Brother, why must you be so cruel? Let them go and they'll just die faster!"
Guo Yi Bai's white clothes fluttered as he flew down from mid-air and landed beside White Sword, smiling at the group of White family guards who wanted to leave. He sighed in his heart, "It seems that the White family is indeed going to perish. If they were surrounded for another two months, there would be no need for the nine major powers' siege. The White family would have collapsed on its own. Su E's move was really ruthless, defeating the enemy without a fight!"
Bai Jian saw the joy on Guo Yi's face and, without regard for the guards trying to escape, hastily asked: "Brother Guo, where have you been these past few days? I thought you'd been killed by the Second Prince. My sister was worried sick, coming to ask me three or five times a day. She nearly drove me mad!"
"Emotions are all about you and your sister caring for me, but you don't care at all, what kind of friend is that?" Guo Yao teased.
"I'm naturally concerned too, haha! Brother Guo is indeed a man of sentiment and righteousness, rushing to our aid in this critical moment for the White family. It's truly admirable, my sister didn't misjudge you." White Jian coldly glanced at the group of guards and said: "Brother Guo, please step aside for now, I'll deal with these good-for-nothings first, then we can have a proper chat later."
Bai Jian raised his white sword, which shone with a soft light, intending to kill the two men and intimidate the guards. However, just as he took his first step, he was pulled back by Guo Ye.
"My Lord Commander," Guo Yue smiled, "don't bother using your usual tactics on them. As the saying goes, 'each person has their own aspirations.' If others want to seek death, why bother being a good Samaritan?"
"Yin Ze brother, what do you mean by this?" A ninth-level spirit guard of the Fourth Palace who wanted to escape heard the implication in Guo Ye's words.
"Seven major evil lands, Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden, Zhongzhou Spiritual Country, these nine major forces unite together. Let alone a White family, even the three sacred places would be razed to the ground. Do you think they will tolerate someone from the White family escaping to seek help?"
"We didn't go to fetch reinforcements, we just wanted a way out."
Guo Yexiao smiled and shook his head: "But they won't think so, they will indiscriminately wipe you out. Now, outside the White Mansion, there are nine law enforcers hiding, specializing in killing people who escape from the White Mansion. Not to mention a person, even a mosquito can't fly alive within ten miles of the White Mansion."
"You may leave now?" Guo Yi pulled the white sword to one side, voluntarily giving way to this group of guards who wanted to leave.
This group of White family guards, who had originally wanted to escape, suddenly fell silent. Each and every one of them stood still, as if their feet were stuck in place, and not a single one took a step towards the gate. These people weren't fools; they knew that Guo Yao's words made perfect sense.
"So are you saying that all those brothers who escaped from the White Mansion before are dead?" a guard finally asked, unable to hold back.
"He's absolutely dead, without even a single speck of dust left!"
"Then why did you come back?" a guard asked in puzzlement.
"It's just a worthless life! How can I abandon my responsibility just because of death? After all, I am a guard of the White family. A guard must have the spirit of a guard, the duty of a guard, and the integrity of a guard. The people who are most despised in this world are not bad people, but those without a sense of responsibility."
"Great! Brother Guo, you said it perfectly. With your words, I can rest assured and let my sister be with you." Bai Jian loudly applauded, surprisingly actually believing Guo Yao's nonsense.
"What a joke, if I didn't have my own way out, I wouldn't be here getting dragged into this muddy water." Guo Yi thought to himself, but he couldn't say that out loud. He smiled and said: "Personal nonsense, not worth spreading around, I'm actually a very low-key person. Of course, if everyone helps me spread the word, I won't mind either."
"Yin Ze brothers are indeed righteous, making us feel ashamed. As the White family's guards, aren't we waiting for this day to use our lives? I won't leave, even if it means losing my life or getting a big scar on my head!" The ninth palace's fourth-grade guard cut off his own left arm with one sword, declaring: "I want to use this arm to remember this historic turning point. It was Yin Ze brother's words that made me suddenly awaken, being a man means standing tall and upright."
Kuo Yidong was stunned, never expecting that this guy would actually cut off his own arm because of his own nonsense, and still be a man of iron blood.
"Mother's, it's all over, either way is death, dying in the White Mansion won't bring shame."
This group of guards who wanted to escape all showed their determination and unanimously decided to stay with the Bai family through thick and thin.
The happiest person was naturally Bai Jian, the leader of the Western Camp. He excitedly pulled Guo Yao and walked into the west gate, laughing: "Brother Guo is truly the number one hero of my Western Camp's guard battalion! If it weren't for you today, I might have had to kill my own brother with my own hands!"
"It's not that I'm the first hero of the Western Capital Guards, it should be you, White Brother. At most, I can only be considered the second one." Guo Yi let out a haha and pondered for a moment before asking: "Has there been any theft recently in the White Manor?"
Bai Jian thought for a moment and then said, "No!"
"Has there been an adultery case?" Guo Yi continued to ask.
"Not at all," said Bai Jian puzzledly, "I don't know why Brother Guo has such doubts?"
"Could it be that these guys have all turned over a new leaf?" Guo Yi thought to himself, then cleared his throat twice and laughed: "Just asking casually, after all, the White Manor is currently in an extraordinary period, some petty people may take advantage of the situation to do some illegal things."
As they walked side by side, Guo Yi suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked towards the depths of the White Mansion, saying: "I haven't seen my younger sister Guo Xiaoyan for some time now, I wonder how she's doing?"
"Oh! So Brother Guo is thinking of his sister, don't worry, Xiao Qian treats her like a biological younger sister and takes care of her, no one dares to bully her. It's just that the cow in your house hasn't eaten grass for half a month now, it really worried Xiao Qian for several days, afraid that it would starve to death, and then it wouldn't be good to report back to you." said Bai Jian.
"Oh! Haha! If this dead cow really eats the grass down, that would be a strange thing!" Guo Yi laughed.
Bai Jian shook his head and said, "Not at all, just yesterday your sister took out two stalks of spiritual grass to feed it."
"What you said about Xiaoyao feeding the green cow with spiritual grass, where did she get the spiritual grass from?" Guo Yi had a bad premonition.
Bai Jian smiled and said: "Of course, it's taken out from her Storage Spirit Palace."
It's done, I knew this dead cow was unreliable and would definitely unseal the seal on this little girl. Su Ya's ranking on the Spirit List is even higher than mine, if she finds out that I... her sister, she won't hesitate to fight me to the death. And who knows if this dead cow has taught her any poisonous secret techniques, making it even harder to deal with her later.
