Chapter 722: Chapter 171: Human; Wolf; Dog! [Ten Thousand Words]
Mr. Shang was furious. He leapt into the air, directly chasing after Yemo with a sword aimed at the sky.
With a clang, Yemo’s body was jolted up, floating like a leaf on the breeze, landing atop a tall tree.
Seeing a chance, eight Zhu Family experts simultaneously soared into the air.
"Be careful!"
The Grand Dowager warned and immediately flew up to assist.
But it was too late.
Yemo pushed off the tree top with his toes, his body and sword light descending like a starry sky falling down.
He retracted as soon as he touched.
The sword tip tapped the Grand Dowager’s cane, who groaned, spitting a mouthful of blood, and with a swoosh, turned into a black dot in the night sky, disappearing.
Puff, puff, puff...
Out of the eight Zhu Family experts who jumped up, six fell to the ground like dead dogs, with a red spot on their throats.
The other two also landed, faces devoid of color, blood evident at their throats.
One sword, six kills!
When Zhu Shaoyun and Mr. Shang caught up to the treetops, all they saw was a silent night sky, not even seeing which direction Yemo went.
"Seventeen people!"
Everyone’s faces were grim; from discovering Yemo, making a move, to the opponent fleeing, the total time added up to only the span of one breath.
Yet the Zhu Family actually lost seventeen people.
The opponent only paid the price of a mouthful of blood.
After carefully checking the wounds.
"It’s definitely Yemo, without a doubt!"
The Grand Dowager, Zhu Shaoyun, and Mr. Shang all reached the same conclusion!
The three were extremely angry.
"This Yemo is really vengeful! It was just a misunderstanding. Who knew he was in that cave when we were chasing after Fang Che? He had already killed two of us, and still came to retaliate! What does he want with all this endless pursuit?"
The Grand Dowager huffed angrily, stomping her cane heavily.
Zhu Shaoyun was also very angry: "Back then with all those issues with the Yixin Sect, we helped resolve so many, including some I personally intervened in, yet this Yemo shows no gratitude whatsoever."
Mr. Shang sighed and said, "It’s understandable, back then the Baiyun State sub branch of Yixin Sect was said to be Vice Sect Hierarch Ren Zhongyuan’s unit, and Ren nearly destroyed Yin Shen Palace, Yemo being a disciple of Yin Shen Palace, it’s understandable he wouldn’t give you any face."
"But still, to kill just like that! Seventeen people in one go!"
Zhu Shaoyun said angrily, "Does he think the Yixin Sect is invincible in the world? Acting so recklessly, he’s simply a demon!"
"He is Yemo, he is a demon!"
The Grand Dowager sighed and said, "Since Mr. Shang is here, how should we handle this matter, please give us your advice!"
Mr. Shang frowned.
A bit troubled.
How could he make a decision if Yemo wanted to take revenge?
"Report to the Guardian Hall?"
Zhu Shaoyun suggested.
The Grand Dowager and Mr. Shang both shook their heads, "We absolutely cannot report to the Guardian Hall."
"Yes, once reported to the Guardian Hall, it would certainly stir up a huge storm, making it difficult to explain later to both Yixin Sect and Wei Wo Zheng Sect."
"It was always just a misunderstanding."
Zhu Shaoyun proposed: "But if Yemo keeps on retaliating like this, it’s not a solution. Clearing up this misunderstanding is for the best."
The Grand Dowager nodded, "Since Guardian Hall Fang Che can endure humiliation for the greater good, why can’t we? Perhaps we should split up and search for Yemo to explain the situation. If we let this small misunderstanding escalate into a conflict with Yin Shen Palace of Yixin Sect, it would be too detrimental for us."
"What about the seventeen people who died?"
"They were all Jianghu martial artists hired with money from outside, if they die, they die."
The Grand Dowager saw it open-mindedly.
"Fine."
Although Zhu Shaoyun was somewhat uncomfortable, the situation was beyond their control.
With Guardian Hall, naturally, they could capitalize on the situation, and with the larger momentum on their side, they could stand firm.
But dealing with people from the Demon Sect couldn’t be done this way, because these guys simply wouldn’t listen to reason! So to prevent it from escalating into an unmanageable situation, they must endure humiliation themselves.
At this moment, Zhu Shaoyun suddenly understood Fang Che’s thoughts from last night.
He couldn’t help but sigh.
"A gentleman can be deceived with reason; a demon must be dealt with respectfully."
Zhu Shaoyun sighed: "This saying truly does not deceive me."
So, they took action and the three of them flew into the air, splitting into three directions to search for Yemo.
They didn’t find Yemo all night.
But the three were not surprised, if Yemo were so easy to find, he would have been dead long ago.
In the morning, the Zhu Family’s caravan set out as usual.
Two hours later.
The caravan leader came running back, rolling and crawling: "Family Head, Grand Dowager, something terrible has happened, the caravan was directly destroyed by Yemo, all the goods were burned with a single fire."
The three were immediately outraged and anxious: "Yemo! This is outrageous!"
They immediately got up to check.
Upon arrival, they saw fierce flames soaring in front of the first mountain forest outside the city.
On the ground, some crooked words were written.
"Zhu Family, die!"
The three were all furious!
They had never seen such an arrogant demon.
Just then, figures appeared in the distance, it was Deputy Hall Master Fang of the Guardian Hall who had also heard the news and was flying in with two King level Stewards.
Upon arrival, he was a bit surprised: "Family Head Zhu, what are you doing here?"
"Deputy Hall Master Fang is also here." Zhu Shaoyun greeted Fang Che, his eyes subtly seeking the opinions of the Grand Dowager and Mr. Shang.
The two quietly shook their heads; this matter should not be escalated. If it escalated, in the eyes of Wei Wo Zheng Sect, it would seem like Heavenly Palace and Guardians were joining forces, and the implications would be too large, the consequences too severe.
So they absolutely could not let Deputy Hall Master Fang get involved!
