Chapter 725: Chapter 172: The First Kill in the Netherworld! [Ten Thousand Words, Monthly Ticket Requested]
...
The Zhu Family didn’t wait for Yemo, and naturally, they didn’t find him either.
The dispatched people returned empty-handed.
The Zhu Family’s upper echelon was sullen all day, urgently discussing countermeasures.
By evening, all the guards were on duty, and all the Heavenly Palace Disciples in the Zhu Family were deployed in various positions for an ambush.
However, unexpectedly, just as night fell.
Yemo arrived.
And this time, full of vigor and vitality, he directly stormed into the main hall, almost killing Zhu Shaoyun.
As slippery as an eel, his movement technique was extremely bizarre. He never engaged in prolonged battles, attacking everyone with just one move.
After one move, he immediately changed his position.
Shang Mengyun and the Grand Dowager attacked from both sides, but Yemo didn’t engage in direct combat, flickering here and there, appearing in the front and then suddenly at the back.
After a round of combat, Yemo left a chilling remark: "If the Zhu Family doesn’t give me an explanation, I’ll wipe you out!"
He gracefully left before the Grand Dowager and Mr. Shang could encircle him.
The Grand Dowager was so angry she stomped her feet and beat her chest: "What explanation do you want, then stay and tell us!"
But Yemo was already nowhere to be seen.
This time, although no one was killed, Zhu Shaoyun was seriously injured, making the Zhu Family feel that the situation was even more grave.
The next day, when the Zhu Family convoy left the city through the east gate, they were attacked by Yemo again, and all the goods went up in flames once more.
"Is this ever going to end!"
The Zhu Family members were nearly driven insane.
This time they truly felt the seriousness of the situation. It seemed Yemo was determined to confront the Zhu Family.
But when they considered it from Yemo’s perspective, they felt he wasn’t entirely wrong: he was just peacefully practicing in a cave, not bothering anyone, and nearly got killed by the Zhu Family.
Anyone would find that unbearable.
"Why not think of a way to contact the Yin Shen Palace of the Yixin Sect?"
The Grand Dowager suggested: "Letting Yemo continue like this isn’t a long-term solution. Yemo should listen to the Yin Shen Palace, after all, it’s his master."
"Can’t get in touch. The Yixin Sect is currently hiding to avoid the southeast vortex, not coming out at all, no one can find them. Moreover, our Communication Jades are fundamentally different, so we can’t communicate with each other."
Mr. Shang smiled wryly: "I really didn’t think Yemo would be so difficult to deal with."
The Grand Dowager had a conflicted look on her face as well.
There’s no direct way to contact them, it’s a difficult situation. The Wei Wo Zheng Sect uses Five Spirits Gu for communication, whereas the Heavenly Palace is more like the Guardians.
To directly contact the Wei Wo Zheng Sect, one would have to have the Five Spirits Gu in their body; but who would want that?
I’m a Heavenly Palace disciple, why would I join the Wei Wo Zheng Sect? That would lead to major trouble.
Mr. Shang pondered for a long time before saying: "Here’s the plan, you hold the fort here while I make a trip to the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Southeast Headquarters to negotiate with their leadership. Let the Southeast Headquarters notify the Yin Shen Palace, then have the Yin Shen Palace stop Yemo."
Mr. Shang said, "It’s the only way."
"Is the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Southeast Headquarters easy to talk with? It’s not a good place."
"No problem. Over the years, my mother has cooperated with them more than once; even Lord Wu Xiang, the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Southeast Headquarters Chief, treats me like family. He always greets me warmly, and since this is just a misunderstanding, a subordinate sect issue, Lord Wu Xiang probably won’t refuse. I’m absolutely confident about that."
"That’s good then!"
The Grand Dowager worriedly said: "You must be careful on the way. Yemo seems to be acting like a madman now, what if he... on the road..."
Mr. Shang smiled confidently: "What Yemo relies on is just the Wei Wo Zheng Sect’s Blood Burning Skill, but in truth, his strength is far inferior to mine. You’ve seen these incidents, if it were a direct fight, he’s no match for me at all. But I’m concerned that after I leave, the pressure here might increase."
The Grand Dowager thought to herself: Even with you here, I don’t feel like there’s any less pressure.
In fact, with you gone, I might even feel less pressure...
But she smiled: "No problem, my cultivation is still there. Yemo doesn’t dare to fight to the death here."
"Alright, I’ll leave at noon!"
Mr. Shang made up his mind decisively.
It’s not just the trip to the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Southeast Headquarters, but actually wanting to leave Baiyun State.
He always felt uneasy staying here with this Yemo acting like a madman.
Leaving here to broader horizons, reporting to the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Southeast Headquarters, he’d never have to return here even if beaten to death.
Who would have thought it would be so complicated?
So after lunch, Mr. Shang hurriedly left with two maids.
"Grand Dowager, this time, Master Shang doesn’t want to take care of things here and has run away." Zhu Shaoyun was somewhat worried.
"Who cares, as long as Yemo can be appeased. Otherwise, it’ll always be a big worry."
The Grand Dowager sighed, saying: "Didn’t you notice? Even when Yemo was causing trouble, Mr. Shang didn’t use his Killing Move, which means Mr. Shang also doesn’t dare to kill Yemo. After all, he’s the Wei Wo Zheng Sect Cultivating Gu to become a God champion; if he were killed, it would cause huge complications."
"Exactly, so it’s best to resolve the misunderstanding."
...
The forests were dense, lush and green.
The wind howled, stirring waves of green across the mountains and fields.
Three hundred miles away from Baiyun State, they entered the hilly forest area.
Mr. Shang, with two maids, enjoyed the scenery along the way, and upon leaving Baiyun State, all three felt a sense of relief.
The sky was vast, and even their mindset felt more open.
What a relief!
"Finally out, Master. That Yemo in Baiyun State is too unreasonable, too terrifying."
