Chapter 517: Repayment
"Did the second young master really use a gu worm on the eldest young master?" A male cultivator whispered.
"I don’t believe it. Why would the second young master be so cruel?" Someone argued.
"You weren’t born so you don’t know how talented the eldest young master was. How could the second young master not be unbalanced?"
"It’s not just about the talent. There is also the third young master of the Xiao family."
"The third young master clearly preferred the second young master but the elders insisted on betrothing him to the eldest. It’s not strange that they rebelled."
"The eldest young master is already a peak stage tribulation transcending realm cultivator. The second young master may be in trouble."
"What about us? Will we be implicated?"
"This feud has nothing to do with me. I don’t want to be implicafed."
"It’s too late." Someone said and sighed.
"What do you mean?" Another asked.
"We’ve heard what should and shouldn’t be heard. Do you think the second young master and the third young master Xiao will let us live?"
Hearing this, several people immediately understood their situation and wanted to escape.
However, they had just found a gold sacred place after searching for thousands of years.
Even if they were afraid for their life, they couldn’t bear to abandon the blessed place and hesitated for a long time before choosing to stay.
"I don’t believe they can kill us all." Someone muttered.
At this time, Dongfang Rui smiled and exchanged a helpless gaze with Xiao Hong.
"Brother, how can you say that about me? Rui has always loved and respected the eldest brother and would never do anything to harm him." He said.
"I can testify. Rui was heartbroken when the eldest brother disappeared and has spent countless years searching for him." Xiao Hong said but Dongfang Jing sneered.
"Don’t disgust me." He said and drew his sword.
A moment later, a domineering sword intent soared towards Dongfang Rui.
Seeing the attack, Dongfang Rui drew his sword and hurriedly blocked.
Similarly, Xiao Hong drew his saber and stood beside his lover, glaring at Dongfang Jing.
"Is eldest young master really provoking our Dongfang and Xiao families?" He asked, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"I have already drawn my sword. Shouldn’t my attitude be clear?" Dongfang Jing asked and Xiao Hong gritted his teeth in anger.
He was not an innocent bystander!
However, he had never expected that his former fiancee would recover and return to collect debts.
Most importantly, Dongfang Jing’s cultivation was equal to his own and he wasn’t confident that he could win in a one on one fight.
’Do I really have to abandon the sacred place and escape?’ He wondered and a trace of reluctance flashed in his eyes.
However, seeing that almost everyone on the opponent’s side was a peak-stage tribulation transcending realm cultivator, his reluctance dissipated and was replaced by survival instinct.
[Rui, fighting them is not an option.] He transmitted and Dongfang Rui nodded.
[I know.] The beautiful double said.
He originally thought that they had a chance since they had more people.
However, on closer look, he realised that although the other side had fewer people, their cultivation was not low.
’How did Dongfang Jing get involved with Zhen Yuan, Shen Xu, Feng Xue, Mo Ling, and the Xuanyuan triplets?’ He wondered and palpable hatred flashed in his eyes.
However, he didn’t have time to dwell on it because Dongfang Jing had already launched his second attack.
"Why should blood brothers fight to the death? Eldest brother, aren’t you afraid of breaking father’s heart?" Dongfang Rui asked, wanting to use their father to suppress Dongfang Jing.
Unfortunately, Dongfang Jing had weak family love and had long not considered his biological father as family.
At this time, he sneered and without saying more, he launched another sword attack.
Similarly, Xiao Hong and Chen Yi began fighting, restraining the other from interfering with the main fight.
"Are we going to help?" Yang Shi asked but Shen Xu shook his head.
"This is a cause and effect that Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi must resolve themselves." He said.
"What if they lose?" Yin Shi asked and Shen Xu snorted before answering.
"Do you think it’s possible?" He asked and quickly continued.
"That said, it won’t be too late to save them if they are truly about to lose but I hope that it won’t get to that point." The double said with a thoughtful expression.
After all, Dongfang Jing, Chen Yi, Dongfang Rui, and Xiao Hong had an irreconcilable grudge.
If the grudge was not resolved, the four, especially Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi, would likely face a problem when trying to ascend.
The four fought for half a day.
At this time, a piercing scream filled the atmosphere and everyone turned to look at Dongfang Rui.
"You crippled me." He screamed with bloodshot eyes.
"Dongfang Rui, this is what you owe me." Dongfang Jing sneered and rushed to help Chen Yi.
In no time, Xiao Hong suffered the same fate as Dongfang Rui but Dongfang Jing and Chen Yi didn’t attack the others.
After all, they were about to ascend and neither wanted to be stained with unnecessary cause and effect.
"Let’s go." Shen Xu said and Lu Yang raised an eyebrow.
"What about the gold sacred place?" He asked but Shen Xu chuckled before answering.
"Let’s wait for a better quality gold sacred place or even a higher level place." He said.
"Higher level?" Lu Yang asked.
"Gold-purple or purple." The double said and Lu Yang couldn’t help but be shocked.
’They dare to wait for a purple sacred place?’ He wondered but didn’t ask.
Before entering the secret realm, Wu Ziyan had told him that Shen Xu and the others had uncommonly good luck.
Considering this, Lu Yang hoped that he and Wu Ziyan could take advantage and find good fortune in the Xuanwu secret realm.
’I will repay this favour in the future.’ He thought.
