Swallowing the Stars: You Can't Escape, Mountain Dweller

Chapter 121 Taking on Disciples and Choosing Sides

The Luo family's safety is absolutely guaranteed in this new residence.

If they need to go out, several war gods will secretly accompany them.

Bai Yang asked Yang Wu to arrange these matters, and since the Luo family all knew him, communication was easy.

After being so intimidated, how could Li Yao and his wife dare to make any rash moves?

What if Bai Yang retaliates against them directly?

They were filled with anxiety and immediately left the Jiangnan base city to seek an audience with Yan Hai in Europe!

Inside a villa in the city of Paris that has been renovated twice.

Mr. and Mrs. Li knelt on the ground, pleading, "Please, senior, save us!"

Yan Hai sat cross-legged on the ground, which was unexpected.

He looked much younger than before; I wonder where he secretly obtained the martial arts techniques.

Even Bai Yang and Xing Shou were unaware of this.

Yan Hai opened his eyes slightly and said, "What are you afraid of?"

Since Bai Yang deliberately concealed your names, it means he didn't intend to make things difficult for you directly.

He wasn't a member of parliament yet. Now, more than a year later, he should understand what it feels like to stagnate in one's cultivation.

Why is his style of doing things still the same as before?

Li Yao immediately exclaimed with joy, "Senior, are you saying he's encountered a problem in his cultivation?"

Yan Hai smiled, seemingly in a good mood, and said, "I'm not sure if there's a problem."

But these geniuses rose to prominence too quickly. In their eyes, daily increases in cultivation level were simply a matter of course.

But what if one day they suddenly find that no matter how hard they try, they make no progress?

In fact, this is the norm for most people! Under such a blow, unless they're completely stupid, they'll definitely restrain their behavior!

Looking back on the past year, Li Yao and his wife realized that Bai Yang had indeed become much more low-key, almost like a completely different person from before.

I haven't heard of him going out or doing anything; it seems like he stays at home all day.

This situation is very unusual. Many people, like Inspector Liu, would choose to stay in the wilderness during such times, seeking a breakthrough between life and death.

To stay completely indoors for over a year—this isn't ancient society.

This isn't what seclusion is supposed to be like; it's not the kind of thinking young people should have.

The more the two thought about it, the more they felt that something was wrong with Bai Yang's situation, and the more suspicious they became.

He made such a high-profile appearance at the Ares Palace to declare: I know you did it, but I deliberately didn't pursue it!

This isn't a demonstration at all; it's a show of weakness!

If the people of Baiyang were here and could hear their thoughts, they would laugh until their lungs hurt.

In his eyes, Li Yao and his wife were simply pre-ordained dead men who were just too lazy to do Luo Feng's job.

He's an insignificant person, not worth his time or effort. Is his research even important?

However, the three people here truly had no idea how powerful Bai Yang was now.

On the contrary, I feel that this possibility is becoming more and more likely!

Li Yao, his face beaming with excitement, asked, "Senior, what should we do?"

Yan Hai glanced at him and said meaningfully, "You've really come at the right time. Some old friends are actually also wondering about this answer. That includes Congressman Atkin!"

"Fifth Speaker!"

Li Yao was immediately taken aback.

Atkin is the second strongest member of the EU and the HR alliance; who wouldn't know him?

Li Yao was unaware that he secretly harbored resentment towards Bai Yang.

"I'm prepared to formally accept you as my apprentice. Are you willing?"

Suddenly, Yan Hai said something to him.

Li Yao and his wife were overjoyed; how could they possibly refuse?

Yan Hai took out a book from his pocket and said:

"This is my cultivation notes, which contain my cultivation methods, as well as my experience in breaking through barriers."

Start working hard now, and I hope you can become a member of parliament too.

Li Yao immediately accepted the gift with profuse thanks and solemnly knelt down to bow to Yan Hai.

That very evening, Yan Hai announced in the War God Palace that he had formally accepted Li Yao as his disciple.

Furthermore, a public apprenticeship ceremony will be held soon, and all members of parliament will be invited to attend.

Although Bai Yang deliberately omitted Li Yao's identity in his post.

But these lawmakers are all well-connected individuals; how could they possibly fail to uncover the truth?

They immediately sensed the strong smell of gunpowder in the air; the situation was quite obvious.

This is Yan Hai publicly slapping us in the face and openly provoking us!

You're threatening my apprentice? Well, just wait and see!

Bai Yang, will you accept this challenge?

Soon, almost all the parliamentarians in the world received an invitation from Yan Hai.

In this situation, it's practically a matter of taking sides!

Many people were initially hesitant, but then Fifth Speaker Atkin publicly stated that he would attend.

Now all the members of the HR Alliance must make a statement.

Yan Hai quickly won over a group of people.

He even sent an invitation to Jia Yi in a humiliating manner!

The wording is tactful and polite; if you were an outsider, you probably wouldn't find anything wrong with it.

But only the two of them knew the specific details of the feud from back then, and Jia Yi, who was usually so straightforward, was furious and refused to listen.

When Yan Hai found out, he put on a disgusting act, pretending that his old friend was too busy to see him and that he was very sorry.

All of this was captured by Xing Shou, who then summarized it and handed it over to Bai Yang.

Bai Yang looked at Yan Hai's behavior and couldn't help but sneer.

"They really want to slap me in the face."

Xing Shou, feeling indignant, asked, "What are you planning to do? You can't just break through directly, can you?"

Bai Yang thought for a moment and said, "I have indeed been at home for quite a while, so it's normal for people to look down on me."

But who are Yan Hai and Li Yao anyway? How dare they disrupt my plans?

When do they plan to hold the apprenticeship ceremony?

Star Guardian immediately said, "They will officially hold the apprentice-acceptance ceremony on the evening of October 1, 2058."

In reality, the event will be held at the site of the old Champs-Élysées in Paris.

"That main road seems quite long. Are they sure so many people will come?"

"With Atkins backing them this time, many people will definitely have to give them face. And if they bring in some war gods to fill the space, it'll be a sea of ​​black; who can tell how many are actually congressmen?"

Bai Yang nodded, thinking that Xing Shou was probably right.

Just then, in the strongest trio on Earth, Thor spoke again:

"Haha, they're quite cunning this time. Should we stand up for you?"

Bai Yang chuckled and replied, "You two should both keep quiet this time and pretend you don't know anything. I also want to see the true state of people's hearts."

The two readily agreed; such a lively atmosphere was indeed quite rare.

As time went on, neither the first nor the second speaker spoke.

More and more members of parliament began to express their opinions. First, the members of parliament from China and the Pas brothers of the Flame Legion issued a statement, insisting that they were not available to attend that day.

Other councilors who had received longevity techniques from Bai Yang mostly echoed this sentiment, stating that they couldn't spare the time.

The only ones truly in a state of ambiguity are some members of the HR Alliance, who find it difficult to speak out due to pressure from Atkins.

They can only offer vague and ambiguous statements, leaving no one knowing their true intentions.

The evening of October 1st arrived quickly.

Please pay attention to the last chapter and read it carefully!

This is really important for beginners, thank you!
