"Senior, you …"
Xu Shanshan looked at Tsing Hui from the side and couldn't help but tremble with fear.
After the initial shock, she was even more excited.
She already understood that this Senior Dong Yang in front of her was an existence that was far more terrifying than she had imagined.
A supreme sect!
What kind of majestic existence was that? In the eyes of Xu Shanshan and the others, the supreme sect, the Purple Cloud Palace, was like an immortal legend that mortals could only look up to. But now, this Senior Dong Yang in front of them dared to face a supreme sect alone. Just how shocking was his cultivation?
With this kind of cultivation, even if all the powerhouses of the Gou Clan swarmed him together, they probably wouldn't be his match, let alone a mere Gouyu.
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Tsing Hui said lightly.
Xu Shanshan immediately agreed, as quiet as a cicada in winter.
Not long after Ziyuan Sage left, a group of people hurried over again. The three in the lead had the cultivation of Divine Qi as one.
Seeing these people, Xu Shanshan bit her lip and said, "This is our Xu Clan's first elder, Xu Kaiying, Xu Zhongyuan, and our first guest, Feng Feiyang."
"Greetings, Senior …"
Xu Kaiying, Xu Zhongyuan, Feng Feiyang, and the others entered the restaurant and bowed respectfully to Tsing Hui.
In the next moment, their gazes had already landed on Gouyu, who had both her arms chopped off and was lying unconscious on the ground covered in blood. They were immediately enraged, "You bitch, you actually brought such a huge disaster to our Xu family. Your crimes are simply unforgivable. Why aren't you quickly waking up young master Gouyu and apologizing to him? If Young Master Gouyu isn't satisfied, I'll have your entire family buried with him to appease his anger! "
Xu Shanshan's heart trembled at Xu Kaiying's reprimand, but she still forced herself to say, "Great-grandfather, Patriarch, do you know what happened just now? This person almost insulted my chastity in front of everyone. If this really happened, how would I have the face to continue living in this world? "
"Bastard! Young Master Gouyu taking a liking to you is your greatest honor, yet you actually dare to reject him!? What are you standing there in a daze for? Save young master Gouyu immediately. Otherwise, our entire Xu family will be met with a calamity because of young master Gouyu's rage! "
Xu Shanshan clenched her teeth and said stubbornly, "I was ordered by Senior Dongyang to shut him up. I wouldn't have dared to wake him up without Senior Dongyang's order."
"You …"
Xu Kaiying was furious.
Dongyang might have the ability to withstand the wrath of the Gou Clan, but what right did the Xu Clan have to intervene in this feud?
He simply didn't know how to spell the word 'death'.
"What's wrong? From the looks of it, you want to touch the person I'm restraining?"
Tsing Hui said calmly.
Xu Kaiying and Xu Zhongyuan looked at each other. In the end, Xu Zhongyuan said, "Please forgive us, Senior. We definitely have no intention of disobeying Senior's orders. However, Gouyu is a genius from the Gou Clan of the Purple Cloud Palace. Perhaps Senior doesn't need to care about the Gou Clan with your status, but our Xu Clan is nothing in front of the Gou Clan. Once the Gou Clan is angered, the entire Xu Clan will face a calamity. I'm afraid that the 362 members of the Xu Clan won't be spared."
"Oh?"
Tsing Hui's gaze landed on Xu Zhongyuan. "You mean that you don't dare to offend the Gou Clan, so you don't care about my reputation and let the person I'm restraining go? In other words, in your eyes, I'm easier to bully, right?"
Xu Kaiying and Xu Zhongyuan were stunned when they heard this.
It shouldn't be like this.
The reason why they had come here and pretended to reprimand Xu Shanshan was actually to force Qing Xu to make a statement. Now that they had put on such an act, the senior before them should at least say something righteously, "There's no need for your Xu family to concern yourself with this matter. Since I was the one who caused it, I'll bear all the consequences for you. Leave the Gou family to me. From today onwards, if your Xu family runs into any trouble, just use my name. Even the Gou family won't dare to say a single word of objection."
At that time, they would be able to rely on the reputation of this expert who was absolutely at the Saint Realm to expand the scope of their forces, and they would be able to expand their businesses to numerous towns in the surroundings. Moreover, the forces of the entire Xu Clan would multiply by a few times because of this.
But now …
Things didn't seem to be going that way. The senior in front of them could stand up for Xu Shanshan when she was being humiliated. He shouldn't be such a person. He should be a righteous and upright person.
In that moment, Xu Zhongyuan hurriedly said, "We absolutely don't have any intention of looking down on senior. It's just that this matter concerns the lives of our Xu family's three hundred and sixty-two people. There are both young and old in our Xu family's three hundred and sixty-two people, big and small. If young master Gouyu were to suffer any injuries here …"
"I roughly understand what you mean. After beating around the bush, you still think that I'm easy to bully. So, you're afraid of the Gou Clan and not me."
Tsing Hui looked at Xu Zhongyuan with a smile that didn't look like a smile. "Since that's the case, I'll let you be afraid for a while."
When he finished speaking, he lifted his finger. Just as Xu Zhongyuan, the head of the Xu Clan, was about to open his eyes wide and beg for mercy, a sword light had already pierced through his forehead.
"No!"
Xu Kaiying and Feng Feiyang's hearts trembled fiercely.
Looking at Xu Zhongyuan, who had been pierced through by a sword light, they felt their entire bodies turn cold.
"Do you understand now?"
Tsing Hui said calmly.
"Yes … Yes … We, we'll take our leave now … we'll take our leave now …"
Xu Kaiying said in a trembling voice. Even though he was an expert of the Unity of Spirit realm, he still felt that the True Qi and blood in his body had almost stopped circulating. A piercing chill kept surging from the bottom of his heart, causing his voice to tremble slightly as he spoke.
"You may leave."
As soon as Tsing Hui said this, Xu Kaiying and Feng Feiyang immediately felt as if they had been pardoned. They took Xu Zhongyuan's body and quickly left.
At this moment, Xu Shanshan seemed to have understood something. Her face turned slightly pale. "They, how dare …"
"Just wait."
Tsing Hui said, not taking this small matter to heart.
Businessmen pursued profit. An opportunity to multiply the Xu Clan's power by several times was naturally worth it for them to gamble their lives. Since they were willing to gamble their lives, then he would grant them their wish.
A day's time passed quickly.
Even though the restaurant was in a mess, not a single guard in the city dared to inquire about it. Even when patrolling the streets, all of them stayed far away.
They had already received news that the owner of this restaurant was a ferocious bandit. Not to mention ordinary cultivators like them, even those high and mighty Elders of the supreme sects had to treat him with caution. In the face of such a terrifying character, it was better for mortals like them to run as far as they could. They still had the courage to maintain order in the vicinity of Cloud Pass City, which could be said to be extraordinarily courageous. The City Lord of Cloud Pass City was skilled in managing his subordinates.
After waiting for a while, on the morning of the second day, dozens of sword lights finally broke through the void. They were like meteors from outer space, descending towards Clear Cloud City at an incredible speed.
Among the dozens of sword lights, even the weakest one was at the Prominent Divine Stage. Among them, there were more than 20 True Energy Stage and Transformative Stage experts. The leader was even a Never-Ending Stage expert. This lineup could not be said to be weak.
After the group of people descended, they immediately sealed the surrounding space and set up an inescapable net, surrounding the entire Clear Cloud City. After ensuring that Tsing Hui couldn't escape, the few people in the lead suddenly descended from the sky. With boundless pressure, they shouted, "Traitor Dong Yang, quickly hand over the Fortune Mainland's most precious treasure, the Fortune Divine Jade. Come out and accept your death!"
Tsing Hui raised his head and looked up. "There are quite a number of people."
The Purple Cloud Palace's branch palace lord, Xiang Hong, Elder Xiang Meng, Reverend Zihao, Reverend Violetshade, Reverend Tongyun, and Reverend Hellfire were all present. The Transformative realm Reverend Yunpeng, Reverend Kunwu, and Reverend Tianze were present as well. However, the Eternal realm great elder was an unfamiliar face. He was not the so-called Ancestor Xiang Jun that Qing Xu was familiar with.
"What's wrong? Doesn't the Purple Firmament Palace's Pillar of Heavens Mountain headquarters look down on the Central Plains' cultivators? How come they're willing to send a Never-Ending Boundary Grand Elder to oversee the headquarters? "
Tsing Hui laughed.
"Isn't this all your fault? If it weren't for you stealing my Fortune Mainland's most precious treasure, the Fortune Divine Jade, how would my Purple Firmament Palace attract the hostility of the other forces? Now, hand over the Fortune Divine Jade and cripple your own cultivation. Who knows, we might be able to put in a few good words for you in front of the other forces and save your life. Otherwise, next year today will be the anniversary of your death!"
Before Palace Master Xiang Hong could say anything, the Never-Ending Boundary Grand Elder had already taken a step forward and barked in a low voice.
"State your name."
Tsing Hui said slowly.
"You …"
Seeing that Tsing Hui had spoken to him in such a tone, the Never-Ending Boundary Grand Elder was enraged. A terrifying aura erupted from his body as he roared, "You're courting death!"
"Elder Hong Guang, be careful. The Fortune Divine Jade is still in his hands. If we kill him now, the whereabouts of the Fortune Divine Jade will remain a mystery forever."
Xiang Hong hurried to persuade Elder Hong.
"Kill? Kill him? Killing him would be letting him off too easily! I want to capture him alive and make him suffer a fate worse than death day and night! "
Elder Hong Guang gritted his teeth. When he thought of how the five great sects had oppressed the Purple Cloud Palace over the past few days because Tsing Hui was from the Purple Cloud Palace and how the Grand Elders had suffered, he could not wait to crush Tsing Hui's bones and scatter his ashes.
At this moment, in the corner of the restaurant, Gouyu, who had fainted from the pain, suddenly woke up. When she saw the familiar figures of the elders in the air, she could not help but become agitated. She shouted loudly, "Palace Lord, save me! Palace Lord, save me! This madman actually dared to kill an inner disciple of our Purple Cloud Palace! This is a crime that cannot be punished! Quickly kill him and save me … Since he dares to challenge the dignity of our Purple Cloud Palace like this, we will definitely torture him ruthlessly in a moment. We will slaughter his entire family, and none of his friends and family will be spared. Only then can we restore the might of our Purple Cloud Palace!"
Gouyu shouted fiercely. She could not understand the situation before her.
Elder Hong Guang and the rest were not the only ones who were shocked by this scene. Even Xu Shanshan, who was at the side, looked at her as if she was looking at a fool. Under such circumstances, was a mere Purple Cloud Palace's inner court disciple qualified to speak?
