Chapter 46: Youre Courting Death! (2/2)
Little White protested, but unfortunately, Xiang Shaoyun completely ignored the protest. Thus, Little White could only helplessly grow larger. His body was as tall as half a grown adult when standing on four limbs, giving him a rather heroic look, and the ”King” written on his head gave off a tyrannical aura.
Xiang Shaoyun picked up his bag and hopped onto Little White. He said, ”Let's go!”
At Xiang Shaoyun's command, Little White sped off in the direction of the Hundred Beast Mountain Range's outskirts. Three days later, they arrived outside the Hundred Beast Mountain Range.
”Finally, I'm out. Haha!” Xiang Shaoyun roared with laughter in his excitement. He had encountered many dangers during this trip, had learned about how cruel this world was, and had grown stronger in the process. If anyone dared to make a move against him, he would return the favor with ten times the ferocity.
Riding Little White, Xiang Shaoyun resumed his journey back to Wu Town.
”I wonder if the people from Wu Clan are still waiting for me. If they are, things will get rather troublesome,” Xiang Shaoyun muttered to himself. But shortly after, he continued, ”I believe they won't be there waiting anymore. It has been quite a while. I just need to keep a low profile and everything will be fine when I'm back at Martial Hall Palace.”
With Little White acting as his mount, Wu Town was already within view before the sky turned dark. There, Xiang Shaoyun told Little White to turn small again. Carrying Little White, he carefully headed toward Wu Town.
The Wu Clan was the local tyrant of Wu Town. They had numerous informants everywhere, and Xiang Shaoyun had to tread carefully. However, right after he stepped foot in Wu Town, he sensed that someone was observing him. He thought to himself, Are they still waiting for me?
Sure enough, as he was heading toward the Martial Hall Palace, a group of people rushed out from several different directions and headed straight at him.
”b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” Xiang Shaoyun cursed and immediately pulled back from them. However, the newcomers were very powerful, with late-stage Astral Realm cultivators among them. Xiang Shaoyun stood no chance of escaping.
”Surrender or you shall suffer,” said the leader of the group as he sent a kick at Xiang Shaoyun. Before Xiang Shaoyun and Little White could even react, the kick sent them flying. Xiang Shaoyun was in quite a sorry state currently.
”Wu Clan, if you dare touch even a hair of mine, my Senior Brother Zi Changhe will spare none of you!” Xiang Shaoyun had no choice but to bring Zi Changhe's name out.
”Not even the palace master of Martial Hall Palace will be able to save you today!” the leader replied before sending another kick at Xiang Shaoyun. He planned to kick Xiang Shaoyun unconscious then and there.
Swis.h.!.+
The kick contained quite a strength behind it, directly causing Xiang Shaoyun to start coughing blood. The enemy was at least a sixth- or seventh-stage Astral Realm cultivator.
”Meow!”
Little White yelled before pouncing the person, trying to land a bite.
”Where did this little animal come from? p.i.s.s off!” the person bellowed and slapped Little White away.
”Take him with us,” the person then commanded the people around him.
”You are courting death!” a voice suddenly rumbled like a thunderclap. From the intersection of the street, a person riding an elder wolf rushed over. At the same time, spear energy shot forth like a lightning bolt.
Swis.h.!.+
Before the Astral Realm cultivator stepping on Xiang Shaoyun could react, the spear pierced his body. He died with his eyes wide open in indignation.
”You dare to lay hands on the junior brother of I, Purple Lightning Marquis? You are courting death!” bellowed the figure seated on the elder wolf with his back straight.
