Volume 5, Chapter 21 – A Certain Silver-Haired Girl Who Came to Another World

“The ancestral spirit’s identity has been confirmed. It’s our Bai family head from the Wei Dynasty period, Grand State Preceptor Bai Tianduan.”

Holding the family genealogy, Second Elder Bai Hua excitedly ran to Bai Bin’s side and reported this thrilling news.

Upon hearing this, all the Bai family elders, including Grand Elder Bai Qian, displayed expressions of wild joy.

Bai Bin’s smile also became increasingly arrogant at this moment.

“Heh, hehe… Bai Tianduan, you say? Haha, this really is good news.”

A high-tier Divine Departure Realm Bai family ancestor.

Haha, who would have thought that kid Bai Xu could summon one of the strongest Bai family ancestors in history in one go? Hehe, very good, very good indeed—he wasn’t raised in vain.

This way, once Bai Xu could perfectly control the ancestral spirit power, his strength wouldn’t be weaker than that old thing’s, perhaps even surpassing it… In that case… the old thing wouldn’t be of much use anymore.

At this moment, a trace of chilling coldness quietly emerged in Bai Bin’s gaze toward the curtains on high.

…

On the other side, in the center of the hall, gazing at the extraordinary ancestral spirit he had successfully summoned, Bai Xu’s heart was equally thrilled.

If not for having consumed too much spiritual power and stamina during the summoning, he would almost have had the impulse to jump up and cheer regardless of his status.

Hehe, success…

“I finally succeeded…”

As the words left his mouth, Bai Xu felt an unprecedented sense of relief, an unprecedented relaxation.

As the eldest son of the family head, Bai Xu had carried too much pressure for years, to the point where he could barely breathe. He had constantly worried that he might fail to summon a powerful ancestral spirit during the ceremony, thereby disappointing his father’s expectations and being mocked by all the clan members.

Now it seemed these worries could obviously be swept away.

Moreover, summoning a Divine Departure Realm ancestral spirit was sufficient proof of his power and excellence.

Those who always liked to compare him with Bai Xingwu probably couldn’t say anything now, right? After all, even their most excellent Bai Xingwu might not necessarily be able to summon such a powerful ancestral spirit.

Heh, hehe, hahaha~

While feeling pleased, Bai Xu also directed his gaze toward the high part of the hall like his father had done.

That is, toward the location of the true ruler of the Bai family, his great-grandfather.

——”Did you see that? Great-grandfather! I, Bai Xu! Absolutely don’t lose to that guy Bai Xingwu either!!”——

Bai Xu roared triumphantly in his heart.

He was already anticipating the words of praise his great-grandfather would give him.

However, Bai Xu’s excited emotions hadn’t lasted even a few seconds before a sudden thunderous sound directly shattered his mood.

——”BOOM!!”——

??!!

Hm?

“What happened?”

Bai Xu frowned, instinctively spreading out his spiritual power and directing his gaze toward the source of the sound.

Not only Bai Xu, but the elders on the viewing platform who had been flattering Bai Bin were the same.

Perhaps because the Divine Departure Realm ancestral spirit summoned by Bai Xu was too attention-grabbing, everyone had almost forgotten that not all the young generation’s summoning ceremonies had ended.

Grand Elder Bai Qian was the first to frown, his smile freezing in place.

“What is this? Did someone’s summoning ceremony fail?”

The sudden explosion and abnormal spatial fluctuations… this was obviously a situation that would only occur when summoning failed.

After all, the Bai family’s ancestral spirits were all summoned from other dimensions. If problems occurred during the summoning process, it could cause the summoning array to collapse, potentially creating dangerous spacetime turbulence.

Undoubtedly, this was no joke.

Therefore, as the elders made this judgment, Bai Xu, as the leading figure of the young generation, immediately mobilized his spiritual power and rushed to the explosion site.

After taking in the shattered summoning site before him and the enormous white sphere floating in mid-air, emanating terrifying spatial energy, Bai Xu’s expression immediately became grave.

“What’s going on?”

Faced with Bai Xu’s interrogation, a nearby anxious Bai family girl directly pointed at another uneasy girl beside her.

“I! I don’t know! It was Sister Bai Lin who caused this!! Her summoning failed! It has nothing to do with me!”

The girl immediately chose to shirk responsibility.

Upon being pointed at like this, the ponytailed girl called ‘Bai Lin’ fearfully lowered her head, her pupils filled with terror.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding Bai family members looked at Bai Lin with expressions that became strange and complex, with emotions of disgust suddenly spreading through the crowd.

After all, in everyone’s eyes, this girl named Bai Lin was merely an insignificant branch family member with thin bloodline.

Within the Bai family where strength was paramount, Bai Lin was obviously not valued by the others.

Reаԁ oո КаtReαdiոgCаfе

During this summoning ceremony, no one even expected Bai Lin to successfully summon an ancestral spirit—they simply treated her as a participant going through the motions.

Yet this participant had actually caused such a commotion during the ceremony, even creating spatial fluctuations that could potentially trigger large-scale explosions? How could the Bai family members not be angry?

Faced with countless accusatory gazes directed at her, Bai Lin trembled all over and lowered her head.

“…”

Seeing this, Bai Xu said nothing more and focused his attention on the increasingly unstable energy sphere ahead.

White spiritual power quietly surged, rapidly gathering in Bai Xu’s hands.

As the Bai family’s ‘next family head,’ Bai Xu naturally needed to shoulder responsibility at critical moments.

“Everyone else, leave here immediately!! Elder Bai Qian! You all work with me to suppress these spatial fluctuations!”

“Understood, Young Master.”

Bai Qian and the others who had just arrived immediately nodded solemnly.

Large amounts of spiritual power instantly began gathering around several Bai family experts.

Meanwhile, other Bai family members hurriedly led their children toward the hall’s exit, wanting to get as far away as possible.

…

However, just as everyone had accumulated their power and was about to act, the white energy sphere ahead suddenly distorted again.

?!!

“What’s happening now?!”

Rеαⅾ oո КаtRеаdiոgCafе

Bai Xu grimly clenched his fists.

The next instant, under the grave and anxious gazes of several Bai family experts, the extremely unstable white energy sphere that they had expected to explode suddenly twisted and ultimately disintegrated into countless cherry-colored energy particles.

As the energy sphere disintegrated, a silver silhouette appeared in the center of the shattered summoning array under everyone’s stunned gaze.

It was a girl wearing damaged silver armor, with bare feet.

Her silver-white long hair fluttered slightly in the spiritual power fluctuations, like moonlight pouring down, shimmering with a gentle and mysterious luster.

The girl’s cherry-colored eyes were bright and profound, containing a soul-stirring charm and an indescribable holiness.

Her exquisite face was like a finely carved work of art, with perfect proportions, her brow carrying an aura that combined heroism with gentleness.

As a breeze passed by, her skirt hem swayed lightly, outlining a tall and graceful figure~

Witnessing this scene, the Bai family members were completely stunned.

No one could have predicted that after the spatial energy shattered… such a goddess-like girl would appear.

“Who, who are you?”

His eyes narrowing slightly, Bai Xu issued a wary interrogation.

However, the silver-haired girl temporarily ignored Bai Xu.

After breaking free from the spatial energy, the silver-haired girl’s legs gave way and she knelt directly on the ground, weakly pressing one hand to her head. After barely alleviating the intense dizziness, the silver-haired girl looked around in confusion at the unfamiliar surroundings.

——”Where is this place? Wasn’t I just in the transmission tunnel?”——
