Chapter 191: Chapter 72: Destroying the Yang Family (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
“Let’s go…” The Nameless Old Servant’s face looked somewhat strange, but he changed his incantation and summoned an exceptionally large 8th stage Storm Hawk!
Immediately after the appearance of the 8th stage Storm Hawk, a wave of surprise washed over everyone present…
The Nameless Old Servant picked up Yang Luosen, who was in an extreme state of weakness, and jumped onto the back ridge of the 8th stage Storm Hawk, issuing a command which caused the Hawk to raise its gigantic wings…
“Take me with you… big brother, take me with you…” Yang Luobin had already learned of the ruthless character of Xia Guanghan from Yang Luosen, and realized his family might face disaster. Seeing the Nameless Old Servant leaving with Yang Luosen, he immediately began to beg humbly.
“Take him.” Yang Luosen gritted his teeth and said to the Nameless Old Servant.
The Nameless Old Servant slightly lowered the Storm Hawk’s position, but soon heard the icy voice of Chu Mu.
“I only gave permission for you to take your master away, not the man I intend to kill.”
Chu Mu’s gaze rested coldly on the old man, and the white demonic flame on his body already seemed to be burning outwards!
The eyes of the Nameless Old Servant instantly showed a trace of malignancy, apparently he was beginning to feel anger toward Chu Mu. However, remembering the numerous Nightmare Demon Palace Assassins with Chu Mu, he had no choice but to swallow his anger. Sneering coldly, he paid no more attention to Yang Luobin, taking Yang Luosen straight up into the sky above the plaza, slowly disappearing into the cloud layer.
“Big brother… big brother…” Yang Luobin’s face instantly turned pale as he shouted after Yang Luosen!
Yang Luosen’s own reputation was already ruined, let alone that he also felt Chu Mu had brought a lot of Nightmare Demon Palace Assassins this time. He didn’t dare stay any longer and flew away from the place with the Nameless Old Servant.
Seeing Yang Luosen leave, Yang Luobin immediately turned ghostly pale and hurriedly left the battlefield of the plaza, running towards the location of Yang
Mancan.
Chu Mu’s primary target was Yang Luobin, how could he let this guy escape!
Without needing Chu Mu’s command, MO Ye rushed out immediately, launching a Death Raid directly at Yang Luobin!
No matter how much Yang Luobin ran, he couldn’t possibly be faster than MO
Ye. In the blink of an eye, MO Ye had already appeared in front of Yang Luobin!!
Yang Luobin’s face drastically changed, he immediately started reciting an incantation, intending to summon his soul pet to protect himself
“Evil Eye Gaze!”
Chu Mu immediately gave an order to MO Ye!
The bizarre eyes of MO Ye released a silver brilliance, its gaze turned into two silver long swords, brutally stabbing into Yang Luobin’s spiritual world!
How could a Four Thoughts Soul Master like Yang Luobin resist against the spiritual attack of MO Ye, a Six Rank? Especially when MO Ye’s spiritual attack skill was influenced by Chu Mu, the Seven-Thought Soul Master!
As Yang Luobin recited the incantation, his eyes were immediately filled with fear. The incantation was abruptly cut off halfway through and he stood somewhat dazed, facing the Evil Flame Six-Tailed Demon Fox extending its claw towards him!!
“Chu Mu!! If you dare to harm my son, I will annihilate your Chu Family! From his seat, Yang Mancan who was too late to rescue, shouted at Chu Mu through his soul sense with a flushed face!!
Chu Mu turned his head, glanced indifferently at Yang Mancan, and gave a cold smile, completely ignoring Yang Mancan’s threat, and directly issued an order to MO Ye!
Evil Flame Claw!!
The long claw blade abruptly tore through Yang Luobin’s neck!!!
“Swipe!! ! ”
Yang Luobin was still wearing that scared expression, but his head had already flown up, tumbling continuously in mid-air…
“Pfft-
A pillar of blood suddenly gushed out from Yang Luobin’s neck, the bright red blood shocking all who saw this scene, causing them to suck in a deep breath!!
Yang Luobin’s body slowly fell. When his body landed on the ground, blood continued to flow from his neck…
“Thunk–——” The high flung head finally fell down, splashing blood in that pool of blood…
“I… I’m going to kill you!!!!”
A crazed roar suddenly erupted from the seats. Yang Mancan, after witnessing his son being killed, was like a furious wild beast full of killing intent, furiously charging into the Square Battlefield, his eyes filled with blood vessels!
Seeing Yang Mancan rush onto the Square Battlefield, Chu Tianheng did not hesitate even for a moment. He immediately used the ‘Riding Wind’ skill on himself, quickly appearing in front of Chu Mu, and without any hesitation, started chanting a spell!
“Big Uncle, dare to shed some blood?” Seeing Chu Tianheng fly before his eyes, Chu Mu smiled with sinister cruelty.
Chu Tianheng was slightly stunned. He looked at Chu Mu, the expression on his face showing a bit of confusion.
Chu Mu didn’t wait for Chu Tianheng to respond. He glanced at Chu Tianheng’s Seventh Rank, Seventh Stage War Beast MO Ye, and slowly raised his right hand…
Chu Mu stepping into the battlefield and killing Yang Luobin had virtually ignited a spark between the Chu and Yang Families instantly. The moment Chu Tianheng and Yang Mancan confronted each other, the members of the Yang Family dashed onto the Square Battlefield one after another.
The members of the Chu Family also sensed that the conflict between the two families had reached its limit. Chu Ming was the first to use the ‘Flying’ skill, directly flying to the Square Battlefield…
The Old Family Head was already in a ready-to-fight posture. How could the other Chu Family members stay idle? In no time, everyone started applying their own soul skills, gathering around Chu Mu’s location.
Almost everyone from the two families gathered on the Square Battlefield. There were around 60 people on either side. If they were all to summon their own Soul Pets, this whole Square Battlefield would surely be occupied by hundreds of Soul pets!
Because of the Yang Family’s presence, large-scale massacres seldom occurred in Gangluo City. But this time, all members of the Chu Family and the Yang Family were ready to fight. The moment the fuse was lit, hundreds of Soul Pets were sure to engage in a fierce battle on the Square Battlefield!
“Chu Tianheng, I give you ten seconds to hand over Chu Mu. Let me slaughter this bastard with my own hands. If not, today I will surely wash your Chu Family with blood!!” Yang Mancan had already entered a state on the verge of eruption, he looked exactly as treacherous and terrifying as the Seven Rank, Eighth Stage Blood Wing Three-eyed Beast he had summoned!
Chu Tianheng would never hand Chu Mu over. Standing next to his Seventh Rank, Seventh Stage War Beast MO Ye, he showed no fear of Yang Mancan’s threats at all!
“Father, we are few and weak. We are not the opponents of the Yang Family.” Seeing Chu Ming’s solemn face, Chu Tianjue whispered to him.
Realizing that this battle was inevitable, Chu Ming shot a sharp glance at the Old City Lord Yang Kuo, who was still seated, his face bearing a very strange expression!
Members of the Yang and Chu Families were ready to unleash their Soul Senses, and the spell was already on their tongues. The moment an order came from the heads of both families, it would surely turn into a scene of a chaotic battle among hundreds of Soul Pets!
“S… Stop… Everyone, back off!!”
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out, echoing in the sky above the square battlefield!
Everyone was stunned, their eyes converging on Old City Lord Yang Kuo, who was still seated in his place, their faces full of utter confusion.
In reality, many people had noticed that Old City Lord Yang Kuo was highly unusual today. During the battle, Chu Mu had already killed five experts of the Yang family’s younger generation, even killing Yang Kuo’s eldest son and grandson, and a major battle was on the verge of breaking out. However, Yang Kuo chose to compromise at this time.
The Yang family’s influence was clearly above that of the Chu family, if they really started fighting, the Yang family could surely annihilate the Chu family at some cost, no one could understand why Yang Kuo would suddenly interfere in this battle!
“Father, what is you…” Yang Mancan looked at his own father with a face full of astonishment, and the raging veins on his face were still shaking with anger!
“I said stop, didn’t you hear!!” Yang Kuo roared with anger!!
Yang Mancan’s face was already so red that it had turned black, his whole body was shaking, he was clearly unable to suppress the burning rage in his chest, and yet Yang Kuo issued such a compromising order!
Chu Mu looked at Yang Kuo with a smile on his face, slowly putting down his raised hand…
A simple gesture had a completely different meaning, because as long as Chu Mu clenched his right hand, it meant that the thousands of members of the Yang family mansion would be cremated in a sea of flames!
“Father, are you asking me to swallow…” Yang Mancan’s face was already twitching, he was about to roar his fury at his father, but just as he was halfway through his sentence, a great many black shadows jumped out from the crowd, each as cold as ice, standing at the periphery of the stalemate between the two major forces, emitting a murderous aura that made people shudder!
The number of black shadows grew, and in no time, more than fifty icy-cold soul pet masters appeared, all of them giving off a frosty feel, their eyes devoid of any emotional fluctuations but incredibly sharp! !
“This is…” The faces of the nearly seventy members of the Yang family instantly changed, their eyes fixated on these frozen-to-the-extreme killers from the Nightmare Demon Palace!
Fifty Nightmare Demon Palace assassins, each with Soul Master level strength, and each assassin owning a Nightmare Demon capable of directly incinerating the spirit of a soul pet. Once the fifty Nightmare Demons were summoned and their soul demon flames were spread out, the Yang family would surely suffer heavy casualties! !
The cold air enveloped the square battlefield, causing the temperature to drop suddenly, and everyone felt the eerie atmosphere. Those onlookers on the periphery obviously realized that a major melee might happen here, and these people who were afraid of being affected also began to hurriedly leave!
The Chu family had only about fifty members, many of whom were not of the Soul Master level. It was easy for the Yang family’s influence to surpassed the Chu family.
However, when these fifty Nightmare Demon Palace assassins stood there like statues, none of the Yang family members dared to make the slightest move. Yang Mancan, whose anger had already engulfed his whole body, had to forcibly suppress his anger at this moment!
Looking at the fifty assassins from the Nightmare Demon Palace, the old city lord Yang Kuo’s face also became extremely ugly. Now, he had no choice but to step down from his high position and enter into the square battlefield. If he couldn’t resolve the current enmity, his Yang Family would undoubtedly be completely annihilated today.
“Chu Ming, our two families have been begrudging each other for a long time, but in reality, there isn’t any deep blood resentment. Now that both our families have disagreements, if we break out in a fight, it wouldn’t be beneficial for either of us. So, why don’t we just sit down and talk slowly?” Old Lord Yang Kuo completely changed his attitude.
On hearing these words from Yang Kuo, everyone was surprised. When did the usually arrogant Yang Kuo become so humble? The members of the Chu Family who endured the Yang Family’s resentment were also looking unbelievingly at the old city lord who seemed to wish for the Chu Family’s destruction.
However, speaking of which, Yang Kuo had to humble himself. Fifty assassins from the Nightmare Demon Palace were standing there, and a part of them was ambushing just outside his family’s estate, ready to burn his ancestral home to the ground at any time.
At this moment, the Chu family had at least fifty soul masters, plus the Nightmare Demon Palace assassins. This force was powerful enough to sweep all the powers in Gangluo City. If Yang Kuo’s attitude hardened any further, there would definitely be bloodshed on the spot!
“Young Master Chu Yan, my grandson Yang Luobin has offended you many times in the past. This is due to my lack of discipline. Now that you have killed him, let’s take it as a resolution to our past enmity. As you can see, if a fight really breaks out, to some extent, there will be casualties on your Chu Family’s side. This may cause a hindrance to the Chu Family’s development. It would be better to resolve this issue peacefully… I, Yang Kuo, can promise that all the territories and assets that formerly belonged to the Chu Family will be returned. In addition, a quarter of our Yang Family’s territory will be given to your Chu Family. One-third of the profits from assets will be put into the Chu Family’s account. That can be considered as compensation for past enmity and a show-faith from our Yang Family for peace.Yes, there are other details that we can all sit down and slowly talk about; there’s no need to gather here…”
Yang Kuo’s face, full of wrinkles, was as humble as could be. Those who knew him couldn’t believe that this submissive person was once that arrogant and unreasonable city lord of Gangluo City.
The gaze of the two Chu family leaders, Chu Ming and Chu Tianheng, turned to Chu Mu at this time. Chu Mu’s current identity was quite special. He had fifty assassins from the Nightmare Demon Palace, the equivalent of a family’s power, and entirely controlled the situation. What Chu Mu said mattered the most.
“We don’t want any territory or assets. Just give us a little bit of circulating funds.” Chu Mu said to Yang Kuo with little hesitation.
Chu Mu’s statement surprised everyone. The situation was pretty clear now If Chu Mu gives an order, pay a small price, and these people from the Yang family will definitely be killed. Chu Mu could insist a bit more, and this whole Gangluo City might belong to the Chu family.
Of course, some people felt a little relieved. After all, the casualties of a clan war would be very severe. If not careful, it may cause fatal damage to the whole family.
“That… that’s fine, that’s fine. As long as Young Master Chu Yan is willing to let me save face, we will do our best to supply Young Master Chu Yan with our Yang family’s fund.” Yang Kuo immediately put on a smile.
“Then please, Old City Lord, visit our Chu Family as a guest for a few days. How about we discuss the agreement, conditions, compensation, contracts, and other matters?” It seemed Chu Tianheng understood what Chu Mu wanted to do and promptly addressed Yang Kuo.
Chu Tianheng’s statement was very obviously asking for a hostage to ensure the Yang family’s people didn’t go back on their word.
“Father, this is not good…” Yang Mancan was nearly choking on blood, which was about to spurt out any minute. But he saw the situation clearly. If they really started fighting, they would definitely be the ones to die. Moreover, just now, Yang Kuo had already informed Yang Mancan through soul sense that assassins from the Nightmare Demon Palace were lurking near their family’s courtyard.
“It’s fine. These things certainly need to be discussed slowly.” Yang Kuo’s face was almost black, but he continued to put on a smile. He very reluctantly agreed to this condition.
After agreeing to be the hostage, the old city lord immediately took steps, alone, and with great difficulty, walked towards the Chu family’s camp.
Of course, it would need Chu Ming to keep an eye on this old fellow Yang Kuo. Chu Ming immediately stood next to Yang Kuo, secretly chanting a spell, directly sealing Yang Kuo’s Soul Sense, rendering him unable to unleash Soul Skills or summon a Soul Pet for a short period.
After his abilities were sealed, Yang Kuo immediately turned his gaze to Chu
Mu, and said, “In an act of integrity, this old man has already …”
Yang Kuo knew that at present everything was up to Chu Mu. Without Chu Mu’s approval, the killing was inevitable.
Chu Mu nodded his head but didn’t propose any further conditions.
“Then… then I implore Young Master Chu Yan to withdraw your people from our Yang residence…” said Yang Kuo, humbly.
The words of Yang Kuo took everyone from both the Chu and Yang families by surprise, with all eyes falling on Chu Mu.
Fifty Nightmare Demon Palace assassins, who were already extremely terrifying in battle power, were surprisingly not Chu Mu’s entire force. Some of them were even lurking right outside the Yang family mansion…
In that moment, everyone was enlightened, understanding why the old Yang Kuo would negotiate like an old dog at this time. They also felt a chill, realizing how Chu Mu had planned everything in advance, hiding a group of assassins outside the empty Yang residence during his recommendation, a move that truly was ruthless!
However, as everyone was shocked by Chu Mu’s forces, a sentence from Chu Mu almost made Yang Kuo and Yang Mancan spit blood!
“All my people are here.”
Now that Yang Kuo was taken as a hostage, without this old city lord, who else in the whole Gangluo City could deter Chu Ming, the Soul Lord of Chu family. Hence, the Yang family did not dare to act rashly now. As things gradually settled down on the Square Battlefield between the two families, Yang Mancan, who was in charge of the great power, could only obediently arrange for the family’s financial resources to ransom the old city lord.
After this incident, Chu Mu’s name became known to everyone in Gangluo City. Over the following days, Gangluo city remained in a state of unrest. Many people had predicted that with the intervention of the Nightmare Demon Palace Yemo Young Master, the situation in Gangluo city would change completely, and there was a high chance that the Chu family would take control of everything within Gangluo city.
Within the Chu family, Chu Mu’s position naturally soared to a peak. Everyone looked up to Chu Mu with admiration and awe. Moreover, those who had once offended Chu Mu in the past apologized one by one, hoping that Chu Mu, who now had the power on par with a family, would be magnanimous.
In the past, Chu Mu didn’t bother dwelling on minor grievances, nor did he have the inclination to weed out those who looked down on him from his family. In Chu Mu’s eyes, these people had already become insignificant figures devoid of any meaning. Regardless of their praises or criticisms, Chu Mu didn’t feel the slightest emotion.
“Chu Mu, your uncle said that the Yang Family has sold off some territories, and they have already delivered another 10 million Gold Coins,” Chu Ying specially ran to Chu Mu’s room to relay the message.
Since being nominated, Chu Ying’s attitude towards Chu Mu had dramatically changed, always wearing a smile on her face, and no longer showing signs of complaints.
Chu Mu was indifferent to Chu Ying’s change in behavior. Truth was, Chu Ying only used to demean and ridicule Chu Mu in her words. Or rather, whenever she was displeased with someone, she had the habit of swearing at them without reservations. Understanding the temperament of this young miss, Chu Mu naturally wouldn’t bother about past issues with her.
“Um, that’s enough,” Chu Mu nodded, then immediately left his courtyard, heading towards the residence of Chu Tianheng.
Chu Ying wanted to continue the conversation, but noticing that Chu Mu was ignoring her, she felt slightly disappointed and was hesitant to follow him.
“Young Master, are we really going to let the Yang Family off the hook so easily? They’ve committed so many outrageous acts against you,” asked Ting Yu, walking beside Chu Mu.
Ting Yu was gradually getting familiar with Chu Mu, but what baffled her was that Chu Mu now seemed softer towards the Yang Family, resolving the lingering animosity between the two families simply with some indemnity.
Chu Mu gave Ting Yu a glance, bearing a teasing smile he said, “Did I ever say that’s all I was going to do to them?”
“So, Young Master, you mean…”
Upon entering Chu Tianheng’s courtyard, Chu Tianheng was sitting on a stone chair, reading a letter in his hand.
“Big Uncle,” Chu Mu approached Chu Tianheng.
“Oh, it’s Chu Mu,” Chu Tianheng nodded at Chu Mu, inviting him to sit beside him.
Noticing that Chu Mu’s attention was on the letter in his hands, Chu Tianheng immediately explained with a smile, “It’s from your older sister Chu Qian. She’s now officially become one of the top disciples in the clan’s inner circle. Just give her a few more years of cultivation, and she should be able to rank in Luo region’s Youth Battle Rankings.”
Speaking of Chu Qian, a hint of gratification flashed in Chu Tianheng’s eyes.
“It’s been a while since I last saw Sister Qian,” Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu had a distinct memory of Chu Qian; a beautiful face, an attractive figure, always pulsating with youthful vitality. Anyone could easily be moved by her infectious smile and beauty. In Gangluo City, Chu Qian’s fame even surpassed that of Qin Meng’er.
Years ago, Chu Qian was selected by the Great Chu Noble Family as an inner-circle disciple and has since been cultivating in their family.
“She mentioned that she’ll return to Gangluo City in another year,” Chu Tianheng said.
“Oh, then Uncle should reply to her, telling her that there’s no need to return to Gangluo City,” Chu Mu responded.
Chu Tianheng was taken aback. He put away the letter in his hands and stared at Chu Mu.
“Uncle should understand what I mean,” Chu Mu said.
Chu Mu knew Chu Tianheng quite well. Chu Tianheng was the kind of person who was serious and resolute. He could keep calm in the face of any situation, but when it came to action, Chu Tianheng was absolutely merciless—decisive and swift. With these qualities, Chu Mu felt that Chu Tianheng had characteristics that were much more suitable for a family head than the usual careful and contemplative Chu Ming, his grandfather.
Chu Tianheng of course understood what Chu Mu meant. Back when he made the nomination, Chu Mu had already asked him, “want a bloodbath?”
“I see, but, Gangluo City… is after all the base where we have been rooted for hundreds of years…” Chu Tianheng said.
“This world, Luo region, belongs to the Yang Family. In here, we’ll only face constraints everywhere. And after this, the Yang Clan will certainly interfere…” Chu Mu said.
Chu Tianheng stared at Chu Mu, gazing at Chu Mu’s decisive eyes. Suddenly, he saw the shadow of a certain person, a bitter smile appearing on his face, “I have brought this matter up to your grandfather before…”
“Grandfather should have already understood,” Chu Mu said.
Chu Tianheng hesitated for a moment, seeming to have finally made up his mind. He said, “If we must kill, then let it be absolute, leaving no room for future trouble!”
