Chapter 104: Chapter 25 Pu Yan’s Hostility_3
"Clang——" A loud sound echoed, temporarily deafening the surrounding crowd. Ah Dai held the Tian Gang Sword with both hands and retreated three steps before standing firm. Yan Li’s power was truly terrifying, seeming to surpass even that of Yan Shi. In truth, Ah Dai had noticed Moon Scar was in danger and had used an upward swing to resolve his crisis.
Once Ah Dai parried Yan Li’s battle axes, the axes sprang back. Yan Li’s full-body trembled as he was forced to step back as well.
Ah Dai inhaled deeply, suppressing the surging Qi and blood in his body, and angrily said, "Why did you attack Brother Moon Scar without finding out the truth first? We didn’t provoke you!"
Yan Li roared, "Bullshit! It must have been you outsiders who hurt Sister Yun Er. Who else could’ve done such a thing? Today, I will kill you to avenge Sister Yun Er." Saying so, he swung his axes, ready to charge again.
Yan Ju, from behind, grabbed Yan Li, barking angrily, "Yan Li, what are you doing? Until we have all the facts, you are not allowed to touch them."
Yan Li struggled, Yan Ju had to use all his strength to keep him under control. "Brother Yan Ju, let me go. Who else could hurt Sister Yun Er other than them? She was so kind-hearted. Why did you beasts kill her? I want to kill you all for her." Yan Li’s words caused the Pu Yan tribe warriors all around to glare furiously at Ah Dai and his group, apparently sharing the same sentiment. The warriors had dismounted from their horses and drawn their long knives, ready to cut the group into pieces. Wan Li, Miao Fei, Yue Ji, they all drew their weapons without hesitation.
Xuan Yue approached Ah Dai and looked coldly at Yan Li. "Are all you people from the Pu Yan tribe simple-minded? Killing us will allow you to avenge her? What proof do you have that we are the killers? Are all Pu Yan tribespeople this stupid?" As she spoke, a thick white light emanated from her, a sacred aura enveloping the six of them.
The sacred aura Xuan Yue emitted made everyone feel peaceful, and the anxiety was significantly reduced.
Yan Li looked surprised, his previous rage fading. He furrowed his brows, "So there’s a magician among you."
Fearing another attack from Yan Li, Ah Dai stood by Xuan Yue, vigilantly watching Yan Li, ready to counter at any moment. The true Qi inside him was constantly circulating, suppressing the turbulent Qi and blood. A faint glow of combat aura flickered on the Tian Gang Sword.
Xuan Yue gently waved her magic wand, looked angrily at Yan Li while bursts of white light continuously erupted from her wand, ready to attack at any time. Her other hand touched the Phoenix’s Blood on her chest, preparing to launch her most potent attack if needed. Being pampered since childhood, she naturally became furious facing such a situation.
Moon Scar recovered from the initial shock. He didn’t unsheathe his longsword from his back. He told Yan Li, "Now, Brother Yan Shi has just lost his wife. Shouldn’t you go and see him first? We’re not going anywhere. If you confirm that we did it, you can skin or dismantle us anytime. This is the territory of the Pu Yan tribe; are you afraid we will run? If you want to kill us without any reason, we will not just sit and wait to die."
Yan Ju yanked Yan Li’s sturdy arm, yelling, "Yan Li, aren’t you listening to Big Brother’s words? Let’s go and see Yan Shi first. Then back home, let’s wait for the clan leader to decide."
Yan Li huffed angrily, raising his left arm. He pointed his axe at Moon Scar, "You just wait. If indeed you killed Sister Yun Er, I will cut all of you down with my axe." He turned and walked toward the rear carriage. The other Pu Yan tribe warriors dispersed upon Yan Ju’s stern reprimand.
Yan Ju sighed and shook his head, saying, "Everyone, please ignore it. This brother of mine, Yan Li, has always had a short temper. I apologize on his behalf."
Miao Fei twirled his mouth and said, "What’s the use of apology? Quickly clarify the facts and let us go. We have important things to do and don’t have time to waste here."
Yan Ju merely nodded and left in hot pursuit of Yan Li.
When Yan Li descended from Yan Shi’s carriage, his face turned ashen. An aura of murderous intent seeped continuously from his body. He shot a glance toward Ah Dai and his group, hopped on his black horse, and commanded the 500 people from the Yan Shi tribe who had come with them to escort the group towards their tribe. Yan Ju, fearing that Yan Li would stir up trouble again, stayed near Moon Scar with a serious expression.
Once inside the tribe, Yan Ju arranged for the group to stay in a stone house. He locked the door from outside and placed dozens of warriors to guard the house before leaving with Yan Li to meet the clan leader.
Miao Fei was seated, grunting heavily, "What the hell is this? Why are we so unlucky to encounter such a thing? Brother Moon Scar, if they insist that we killed Yan Shi’s wife, should we just wait to die?"
Moon Scar glared at him, "Miao Fei, calm down. At this point, all we can do is wait. This is the biggest tribe of the Pu Yan, with hundreds of thousands of people. Can you fight your way out? When in someone else’s territory, we have no choice but to comply. Besides, since we haven’t done anything, why should we fear? Let’s wait and see. I refuse to believe that Yan Shi’s father, as the Pu Yan tribe clan leader, can’t see the truth of the situation."
