Seeing the light, dark, and fire elemental spirits heavily injured, Bai Zhengchu showed no joy on his face. He continued to stare at Zheng Dong, his expression ferocious, as if he wanted to devour him.
The green jade token sealed the ultimate skill of the Bai family's totem-level Thousand Autumn Vine Emperor: Vine Sea Strangling.
It was perfectly capable of dealing with overlord-level pet beasts.
The Thousand Autumn Vine Emperor's age could even be traced back to the era of the Divine Martial Empire.
In his later years, Bai Zhiyuan had planted a Thousand Autumn Vine in the Bai family. After countless years of tempering, it had also grown to the totem level.
Moreover, it was at the peak of strength among totem-level beings.
If not for its racial level limitations, it would have likely broken through to the quasi-divine level long ago.
However, although this relic space was very sturdy, it could not withstand the repeated bursts of totem-level power.
If the Thousand Autumn Vine Emperor's Vine Sea Strangling were to be used again,
This relic space would likely collapse.
Of course, Bai Zhengchu did not care about these things.
He only wanted revenge.
Following that, Bai Zhengchu once again used his mental power to activate the green jade token in his hand.
The vine sea reappeared, rapidly filling the entire relic space, intending to strangle all of Zheng Dong's elemental spirits.
The dense vine sea made it even more difficult to discern direction in the relic space, which already lacked a clear sense of up, down, left, or right.
Vines intertwined, constantly contracting and squeezing.
The space between the vines grew smaller and smaller.
Furthermore, thicker vines would sprout more delicate tendrils.
A moment's carelessness could lead to being entangled by the vines.
One could even be cut into pieces by the slender tendrils, as if being sliced alive.
Facing such an attack.
Without a second thought, Zheng Dong instructed Ling'er to recall all the elemental spirits and leave the relic space.
Upon arriving outside, on the rooftop of the Financial Building.
Before any further action could be taken, the relic ring in his hand shattered, and countless green vines emerged, attempting to swallow him.
Bai Zhengchu once again utilized the power of the Thousand Autumn Vine, forcefully breaking through the relic space and emerging with his pet beasts, including the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor.
Fortunately, the power of the Vine Sea Strangling gradually dissipated as it broke through the relic space.
Zheng Dong was also quick to react, otherwise, he would have been entangled by the green vines and impacted by the residual waves of the Thousand Autumn Vine's Vine Sea Strangling.
However, Bai Zhengchu was not giving up.
His pet beasts, such as the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor, Four-Eyed Strange Frog, and Ethereal Female Demon, all attacked Zheng Dong.
The Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor unleashed its immense power, releasing bolts of lightning. The rooftop of the Financial Building and the adjacent floors' slabs and walls began to collapse.
In an instant, only a few broken pillars remained, and the Financial Building's height was effectively reduced by several floors.
In his pursuit of revenge, Bai Zhengchu showed no regard for the lives of others, nor did he care that this was a bustling urban area.
Below the Financial Building, many passersby were terrified.
The falling debris from above, upon hitting the ground, could create large craters, and numerous vehicles were smashed.
The nearby Security Bureau also quickly arrived to evacuate the crowds.
Facing Bai Zhengchu's fierce assault, Zheng Dong dodged while attempting to activate the red token in his hand.
This token was the core of the Divine Fire Array.
It could be used to set up the Divine Fire Array.
However, Zheng Dong did not know how to set it up.
He wanted to try activating the token in his hand to see if the Divine Fire Array could be recreated.
Of course, this was impossible.
With the destruction of the relic space, the Divine Fire Array could no longer be used.
Furthermore, Zheng Dong was not currently within the relic space.
However, through the token in his hand, he did discover the blue flames sealed within the token.
The blue flames were also a type of exotic fire, known as the Fire of Fear.
Perhaps it could be refined by the fire elemental spirit to gain greater power.
However, it was likely too late for that now.
Just as Zheng Dong was attempting this, a massive lightning bolt also struck towards him.
If not for Ling'er and Youyou blocking most of its power, Zheng Dong would likely have been severely injured and fallen unconscious.
But as it was, it only turned his hairstyle into an afro.
The king-level Ling'er and Youyou had bestowed Zheng Dong with strong vitality and defensive power.
After all, Zheng Dong was in a symbiotic state with them.
Subsequently, Zheng Dong used spatial teleportation and other skills to continuously evade the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor's attacks.
When evasion was impossible, he would have Ling'er use spatial translocation to move to a farther location.
He had made arrangements in the Magic City area long ago, allowing him to teleport all the way to several cities near the Magic City.
He refused to believe that Jin Heng Legend wouldn't arrive eventually.
Of course, constantly evading was not a solution.
Zheng Dong handed the Source Bead of Light he had previously obtained to Ling'er.
The Source Bead of Light was obtained in a mythical-level relic space; it was the life core left by an angel. If the Saintess had obtained it earlier, she could have grown to the totem level.
Ling'er instructed the overlord-level light elemental spirit to use the Source Bead of Light to heal its injuries.
In the future, it could also refine the Source Bead of Light and break through to the totem level.
However, even with the use of the Source Bead of Light, the light elemental spirit would need some time to recover.
As Bai Zhengchu's rampage intensified, it also aroused public outrage, with more people expressing dissatisfaction with the Bai family.
Of course, some influential figures from the Special Operations Bureau, Security Bureau, and other internal departments were also fanning the flames from behind the scenes.
They wanted to use this storm to address the drawbacks of Yanhuang.
However, there were also some who wished to de-escalate the situation.
Eliminating families like the Bai family would also weaken Yanhuang's strength.
As a result, Jin Heng Legend did not rush to act.
He had also arrived in the Magic City.
If Zheng Dong were truly in danger, he would intervene.
For now, he wanted to see how far this matter could escalate.
Bai Zhengchu had fallen into a state of madness.
Although he had become a titled legend, he felt as if he had returned to the time when he was relentlessly pursuing Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong always managed to disappear from his sight and teleport to other locations.
His Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor was very powerful in combat, but it couldn't catch up to Zheng Dong, leaving its strength nowhere to be applied.
Furthermore, Zheng Dong continuously created numerous clones that fled in different directions.
Every time the Four-Eyed Strange Frog identified the direction of Zheng Dong's main body's escape, the Ethereal Female Demon would use spatial teleportation and other skills to bring Bai Zhengchu there, but it was always half a step too late.
Of course, constantly using spatial teleportation would also be very tiring for Ling'er.
Fortunately, as a plant-type pet beast, it had strong endurance and had mastered multiple elemental dimensional seas, so there was no need to worry about the consumption of elemental energy.
Through this constant evasion, dozens of large and small ruins were left in their wake.
These were all formed by the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor's lightning strikes.
Under the bombardment of lightning, both buildings and vehicles were destroyed.
As a result, streets and alleys were filled with numerous reporters and influencers, all following Zheng Dong to report on the incident.
Additionally, a lot of negative history concerning the Bai and Ye families suddenly began circulating online.
This information, which was previously unsearchable online, was now appearing one after another.
Seeing this dark history, many influencers tagged the Security Bureau, questioning why they hadn't taken action and allowed the people of the Bai and Ye families to remain at large.
This provided the high-ranking officials of the Security Bureau with an excuse to report to their superiors and apply for action against the Ye and Bai families.
In the Elder Council, Dragon Shock Legend sat in the main seat, surrounded by four other legendary beast masters.
In fact, Dragon Shock Legend did not want to expose these "tumors" of Yanhuang.
But since the matter had escalated, it had to be resolved.
"Legendary Wind, Legendary Bright, what are your thoughts on this matter?" Dragon Shock Legend asked.
Legendary Wind was a direct descendant of the Wind Emperor and was older than Dragon Shock Legend. She was an old woman with white hair.
She held a yellow pear wood dragon-headed crutch, her face expressionless. Seeing Dragon Shock Legend ask her, she opened her mouth, revealing two teeth that had not yet fallen out, and said:
"Do as we should, everything according to the rules. We cannot show leniency just because they are descendants of the Empress or the Yan Emperor.
However, we must deal with those who committed the offense and not act recklessly."
Legendary Bright, to the right of Legendary Wind, also nodded slightly.
He was a descendant of the Star Emperor and was around the same age as Legendary Wind, both older than Dragon Shock Legend.
"I agree. Currently, for Yanhuang, unity is the most important. Many members of the Bai and Ye families have acted excessively, but there are also many who have contributed to Yanhuang. We cannot condemn them all with one stroke."
Dragon Shock Legend urgently stated his stance and then looked at the other two legends.
These two were younger than Dragon Shock Legend and also expressed their opinions.
Finally, the Elder Council reached a consensus, deciding to act according to the law and thoroughly investigate the Ye and Bai families.
Dragon Shock Legend even intended to use this incident to deter other families, achieving the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkeys.
Therefore, multiple beast-taming legions and the Security Bureau were dispatched, with Legendary Zhao Pu personally taking action to deal with the totem-level pet beasts of the Ye and Bai families.
Legendary Zhao Pu came from a humble background and had suffered much harassment from the pampered sons of noble families in his youth.
Therefore, when dealing with the various influential families, he showed no mercy and supported the use of forceful methods.
He first arrived at the Bai family, which possessed totem-level pet beasts such as the Thousand Autumn Vine Emperor and the Fiery Golden Light Tree.
Of course, Legendary Zhao Pu was well-prepared. Among his contracted pet beasts, five had reached the totem level in terms of growth.
In addition, Yanhuang had several totem-level pet beasts left by predecessors, and a few of them joined him in this operation.
As for the divine forbidden bombs, they were not prepared to be used on Yanhuang's own territory.
However, the participating beast-taming legions had also prepared a considerable number of forbidden bombs.
Bai Zhengchu's father, Bai Hongguang, still wanted to resist.
He mobilized the Bai family's internal forces to obstruct Legendary Zhao Pu, while also attempting to contact Legendary Wind and Legendary Bright to request their help in rescuing the Bai family.
Unfortunately, he received no response.
Meanwhile, Zheng Dong was unaware of these developments.
He had delayed for a long time, but Jin Heng Legend had not arrived.
Relying on others was not as good as relying on oneself, so he decided to deal with Bai Zhengchu himself.
The overlord-level light elemental spirit had recovered and, after obtaining the Source Bead of Light, its growth level had also advanced considerably, getting closer and closer to the totem level.
It was a pity that the dark and fire elemental spirits had not yet recovered.
However, this also gave Zheng Dong the strength to deal with Bai Zhengchu.
Zheng Dong opened the entrance to his mythical-level beast-taming space and lured Bai Zhengchu inside.
Bai Zhengchu, eager for revenge, did not care what kind of space Zheng Dong had entered.
He only wanted to kill Zheng Dong.
Upon entering the mythical-level relic space, Bai Zhengchu's pet beasts, the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor, Four-Eyed Strange Frog, and Ethereal Female Demon, continued to attack Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong did not fear. This was his home ground, and he could teleport anywhere at will.
Moreover, the mythical-level relic space was much larger than Ye Chengbì's previous relic space.
Thus, Zheng Dong instructed Ling'er to release the overlord-level light elemental spirit to deal with the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor.
He himself used the power of the relic space to teleport the Four-Eyed Strange Frog and the Ethereal Female Demon to other parts of the relic space.
After being teleported away, it would take the Four-Eyed Strange Frog more than ten minutes to return.
The Ethereal Female Demon, however, mastered many spatial skills and could return quickly.
However, as soon as it returned to the battlefield, it was teleported away by Zheng Dong again.
In this way, the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor was left without assistance and could not gain the upper hand against the light elemental spirit.
Seeing this, Bai Zhengchu still did not give up.
He took out a golden fan.
He could use the time-related skill "Time Imprisonment" with this fan.
However, the effect range and duration of Time Imprisonment were limited, and it could only imprison the light elemental spirit that was currently fighting the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor.
Seeing the light elemental spirit unable to move, the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor became spirited and lunged at the light elemental spirit, as if intending to bite off its head.
But in the next second, it was teleported away by Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong did not want the light elemental spirit to be injured again.
After the Five-Clawed Thunder Dragon Emperor was teleported away, Bai Zhengchu was stunned. His overlord-level pet beasts had all been teleported away.
Although the Ethereal Female Demon would return soon, it would be teleported away by Zheng Dong again as soon as it arrived.
This also made Bai Zhengchu realize for the first time that the permissions of a relic space could be used in such a manner.
Of course, one's relic space had to be large and sturdy enough not to be destroyed.
The Bai family did possess a mythical-level relic space, but unfortunately, it was not in Bai Zhengchu's possession, and he had only entered it a few times.
He had not expected Zheng Dong to possess a mythical-level relic space.
Instantly, his eyes turned red, and he wanted to fight Zheng Dong to the death.
He summoned his remaining pet beasts, all of which were emperor-level.
At this moment, the light elemental spirit was imprisoned and unable to move, naturally unable to contend with these emperor-level pet beasts.
Bai Zhengchu intended to seize this opportunity to eliminate Zheng Dong.
Unfortunately, he forgot that Zheng Dong still had many emperor-level light and dark elemental spirits, as well as king-level light and dark elemental spirits.
These light and dark elemental spirits were also released by Ling'er.
They were fully capable of dealing with Bai Zhengchu's remaining pet beasts.
Bai Zhengchu could only frantically activate the golden fan, intending to imprison all the light and dark elemental spirits.
By the time he finally managed to imprison all the light and dark elemental spirits, and before his pet beasts could even attack Zheng Dong, he was teleported in front of Zheng Dong.
Bai Zhengchu was a titled legend and possessed many life-saving means.
However, in order to activate the golden fan, he had almost exhausted all the elemental energy he commanded.
Teleported in front of Zheng Dong, he was temporarily unable to use any skills to attack Zheng Dong.
Zheng Dong, however, showed him no mercy.
A vine shot out from his left hand, piercing Bai Zhengchu's body and passing through his chest.
This vine was as thick as an arm, almost shattering Bai Zhengchu's heart into pieces.
However, this was not the end.
More slender vines then sprouted from the vine, like roots, piercing Bai Zhengchu's internal organs and his entire body.
Afterward, Zheng Dong approached Bai Zhengchu and took the golden fan from his hand.
Bai Zhengchu's eyes were still wide open, blood continuously flowing from the corners of his mouth.
He was unwilling.
Yet, he could do nothing. His vision darkened, and he fell to the ground.
