Fang Laoβs eyes twitched upon hearing a junior insult him so, but due to this girlβs identity, he couldnβt respond too forcefully and instead calmly replied, βHim?Β Β With his current appearance how hasnβt he fallen to the Devilβs Practices?β
Hu Jiao Er simply sneered, βIf heβd already fallen into the Devilβs Practices, do you think we could still stand safely beside him?Β Β Are you blind?β
Hearing this argument, although they were annoyed with her tone, Fang Lao and Xu Lao also couldnβt help but hesitate, uncertain about what exactly was happening.Β Β Yang Kaiβs current state was completely beyond their understanding. There was no doubt that he was under the influence of a Heaven shaking Evil Qi that should have completely distorted his consciousness, but the look in his eyes was clearly calm, without the slightest taint one would associate with the Devilβs Practices.
βAlso, you only saw him kill Cheng Ming, have you ever once stopped to think about what the old dog did to him?βΒ Β Hu Jiao Erβs tone became more intense.
Fang Lao moved his mouth to retort only to freeze up the next instant, and he remained silent for a few moments before saying, βThis old master only believes what he has seen.β
Hu Jiao Erβs sneer became even deeper, βTwo weeks ago, these people from Thunder Light Sect and Soaring Rainbow Court suffered a big loss at his hands.Β Β Today they abandoned their duties at the front lines and came back here in secret. For what purpose? Iβm sure you can guess! Even if Yang Kai really killed them, it can only be considered self-defence.Β Β All the dead here brought this on themselves; what does it have to do with him? When an elder wants to kill you, do you have to stretch out your neck and let them cut off your head? If someone else attacks you, are you not allowed to resist?β
Guan Chi Le nodded firmly, βThe First Young Lady is right!Β Β The people from Thunder Light Sect and Soaring Rainbow Court not only took action behind our backs but also deserted the battlefield in order to kill one of our own!Β Β The Young Lord must uphold justice!β
βPlease judge the situation fairly Young Lord!βΒ Β Fang Ziji barely managed to contain his smile while also adding his voice.
Xiang Chu smiled indifferently and said, βIf things are really like this, this young master will certainly mete out punishment to those from Thunder Light Sect and Soaring Rainbow Court to serve as a warning to others!β
Pausing here though, Xiang Chu continued, βBut in the end all of this is just your assumptions.Β Β All of you came back with me and none of you saw clearly what happened. Naturally this young master also did not witness what happened either; therefore, I suggest that the parties involved, both sides, explain exactly what happened here.β
βI have no objections!β Yang Kai grinned and nodded.
βThis young master appreciates this friendβs understanding.βΒ Β Xiang Chu nodded then turned to his guards, βFang Lao, Xu Lao, gather up those who are still alive!β
βYes!βΒ Β The two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters flew out and after a few short breaths had brought back all the juniors who had survived.
Many of them were seriously injured and could barely keep themselves from falling over. Xie Rong and Li Fu, although quite embarrassed, still couldnβt hide how badly beaten they were.
Quietly glancing towards Yang Kai, the two juniors quickly took back their gaze in a panic, and their junior brothers and sisters didnβt even dare to look at Yang Kai.
Over the course of the previous fight, a deep and profound fear of this mysterious youth had taken root in their souls.
Even the powerful Elders who were from their parentsβ generation had been easily slaughtered by Yang Kai, so how could these young people have any ability to resist?
βXie Rong. Li Fu.β Xiang Chu called out firmly.
βYeβ¦ yeβ¦ yesβ¦βΒ Β Xie Rong trembled as he stuttered to respond, Li Fu, even more so, was unable to compose herself enough to speak.
Xiang Chuβs brow furrowed slightly but quickly put on a kind expression, βYou two should have seen everything with your own eyes, right?β
βYeβ¦ yes.β
βGood, then recount everything that happened, including all the details you can remember, if you dare conceal or lie about anything, you know the consequences!βΒ Β Xiang Chu said lightly.
Xie Rong and Li Fu glanced at each other, but neither of them dared to speak.
Seeing this, Hu Jiao Er smirked, βA guilty conscience makes one nervous.β
Xiang Chu rubbed his forehead before grinning, βJiao Er, please donβt say such things before weβve made a conclusion.β
Hu Jiao Er coldly snorted in return, βYoung Lord Xiang, I donβt want to remind you again, please donβt call my name so familiarly.β
βApologise Young Lady Hu, I was distracted and spoke negligently.βΒ Β Xiang Chu replied smoothly without a hint of embarrassment in his voice and once again turned to face Xie Rong and Li Fu before continued, βIf you donβt dare to speak, then this Young Lord must conclude that you are in the wrong and will kill you right now!β
Xie Rong and Li Fu couldnβt help shuddering as their eyes met Xiang Chuβs.
However, Xiang Chu swiftly added, βBut if you are the ones who have been wronged, this Young Lord also swears to uphold justice for you!β
Hearing this sentence, everyone from Storm Hall and Blood Battle Gang couldnβt help but frown.
Xiang Chuβs words sounded fair and unbiased, but upon further thought they held a profound meaning.
Sure enough, Xie Rong and Li Fu once again looked at each other, and their panic-stricken emotions gradually stabilized as they seemed to have found a support to lean on.
Li Fu finally managed to whisper, βXie Rong, you say it.β
Xie Rong swallowed hard, grit his teeth, and nodded. βGood.β
Taking a deep breath and not daring to look in Yang Kaiβs direction, he spoke in a deep and aggrieved tone, βEarlier today, when we were fighting on Tai Fang Mountain our two Sects ended up chasing down a group of Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land cultivators.Β Β After killing them, we discovered that we were not far from the camp and decided that backtracking to meet up with Young Lord Xiang wasnβt necessary, so we simply returned here.β
βDog shit!βΒ Β Hu Jiao Er couldnβt help shouting, βSince the beginning of the fight, I never once saw anyone from your two Sects!Β Β What βchasing down Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land cultivators?β You clearly decided to sneak off and return to camp from the very start!β
βI swear what Iβve said is the truth!Β Β Young Lord Xiang, if you donβt believe me, you can search the western outskirts of the camp, there should still be some fresh bodies left there.β
Xiang Chu nodded slightly, βIβll definitely investigate your claims.Β Β If you were chasing down our enemies, that is something to be commended, howeverβ¦ failing to return to the rally point was definitely a mistake in judgement by your two Sects.Β Β I have no choice but to reprimand you in regards to such an error, I assume you have no complaints, correct?β
βNone!βΒ Β Xie Rong and Li Fu shook their heads at the same time.
The Hu Sisters nearly choked on their anger as although Xiang Chu seemed to be properly handling matters, his statements and judgements so far were clearly favouring Thunder Light Sect and Soaring Rainbow Court.
βContinue!βΒ Β Xiang Chu motioned casually.
βWhen we and our respective Elders returned to camp, we planned to send out a few of our members to report our situation to Young Lord Xiang but before we had a chance to sit down and rest, we suddenly felt an eruption of Evil Qi.β
βAn eruption of Evil Qi?β Xiang Chu frowned.
βRight, we had never felt this kind of wicked aura before.Β Β The Elders of our two factions thought that some incredibly powerful demons had infiltrated the camp and thus led all of us back to confront them, but when we found the source of the aura it was actuallyβ¦ actuallyβ¦β
βWhat, speak up?β
βIt was that person.β
βWhat man?βΒ Β Xiang Chu asked.
βThe strange man the Hu Sisters brought back with them the other day!βΒ Β Xie Rong replied in a horse voice.
Xiang Chu looked over at Yang Kai, who simply smiled back at him.
It was a plain smile filled with a look of self-confidence, leaving Xiang Chu at somewhat of a loss.
βAnd then?β Xiang Chu asked, turning his eyes back to the two juniors in front of him.
βThenβ¦ thenβ¦ that man madly attacked us!Β Β Our two Elders couldnβt stop him and many of our fellow disciples were either killed or heavily wounded.Β Β In the end, the two elders sacrificed their own lives trying to save as many of us juniors as possible.β As Xie Rong recanted this horrific tale, his voice seemed to contain infinite grievances and pain, and even his breath quickened as he mournfully said, βThis humble one begs Young Lord Xiang uphold justice and exact revenge for the fallen Brothers, Sisters, and Elders of our two Sects!β
Li Fu also shed tears as she frantically wiped her eyes, weeping as she added, βYoung Lord Xiang please!Β Β This hatred cannot go unsettled!β
Listening to these two, the disciples from Blood Battle Gang and Storm Hall ground their teeth, and a bitter rage and hatred welled up in their hearts.
Xiang Chu was silent for a moment before motioning, βYou two, get up.β
βIf Young Lord Xiang cannot uphold justice for us and kill this demon, we will kneel here forever!βΒ Β Xie Rong and Li Fu declared as they lowered their heads to the ground.
Xiang Chuβs expression became somewhat displeased seeing their display, saying, βThings have yet to be made clear.Β Β All of this is just your side, but if you wish to kneel, then just kneel.β
Lifting his eyes, he smiled towards Yang Kai and continued, βThis friend, your situation doesnβt appear to be so simply described, if you have something to say, this Young Lord will hear you out.β
The Hu Sisters turned and stared towards Yang Kai.
However, Yang Kai simply shrugged and said indifferently, βNope!β
βYang Kai!βΒ Β Hu Jiao Erβs beautiful face immediately cramped up, and she nervously seized his arm.
Xiang Chu was also quite surprised and couldnβt help looking at him strangely.Β Β It seemed like he hadnβt expected Yang Kai to not argue back.
Upon seeing the calm, disdainful look on his face, Xiang Chu had a faint bad premonition.
He dared not defend himself, and he didnβt seem the slightest bit nervous, so obviously he wasnβt afraid he would suffer any consequences from this situation.Β Β Was he simply arrogant, or was he still hiding something that gave him this sense of confidence?
βYang Kai, you have to fight back, theyβve slandered you so, how can you just stand there and say nothing?βΒ Β Hu Mei Er also pleased anxiously.
But Yang Kai just maintained a light smile and replied, βSince they already have the predisposition to condemn me, context does not matter. So letβs not waste our breath.β
At that moment, the Hu Sisters frozen for an instant before suddenly realizing that no matter what argument or defence Yang Kai put forward it was useless. His current state was enough for everyone to label him a demon!
Now that they were at war with the Ash-Grey Cloud Evil Land, what was the fate of a demon that had appeared here?Β Β Everyone would slaughter him! So even if the Thunder Light Sect and Soaring Rainbow Court people were the ones who acted first, Yang Kaiβs reasons were meaningless.
Justifications?Β Β All of that was just wasted spit!
His expression gradually sinking, Yang Kai sneered, βWhether I am a man or a devil, thatβs not for outsiders to decide.β
Xiang Chuβs eyes couldnβt help squinting as he stared at Yang Kai fixedly.
After a long time saying, βWhat this friend means to say is, this young master isnβt qualified to pass judgment on you?β
βYou think youβre worthy?βΒ Β Yang Kai looked at him indifferently.
βBold!βΒ Β Fang Lao shouted, βThe Xiang Family is a first-class family, and the Young Lord is the commander of this camp, yet you, a mere stray dog, dares say the Young Lord isnβt worthy?β
βA first-class family, how awe-inspiring!βΒ Β Yang Kai laughed rampantly.
βSo be it!Β Β This Young Lord will let you understand the power of a first-class family today!βΒ Β Xiang Chu was also angered by Yang Kaiβs slights, and he coldly snorted, βFang Lao, Xu Lao, capture this demon.β
βYes!βΒ Β The two Immortal Ascension Boundary masters responded firmly.
βYou dare!βΒ Β The Hu Sisters flew out, placing themselves in front of Yang Kai.
Xiang Chuβs complexion sank and a hint of jealous anger flashed across his eyes.Β Β Taking a deep breath he said, βTwo young ladies, if you donβt want to get hurt, I suggest you stand back.Β Β If you continue to insist on this course of action, this Young Lord will have no choice but to assume you are in league with this demon and capture you together with him!β
βSuch great prestige!βΒ Β Guan Chi Le took a step forward and sneered, βYoung Master Xiang, is this how your Xiang Family handles its affairs?β
Xiang Chuβs expression became gloomy, βThis how I, Xiang Chu, handle affairs!Β Β If this demon isnβt punished, how could our people feel at ease!β
