The miserable wails did not come from Xiang Shaoyun. Rather, they came from the two youngsters whose hands were on his shoulder. Xiang Shaoyun did not even have to lift his hand. He only released a tiny bit of his flame power. The two youngsters weren't even able to do anything before their hands caught on fire. They waved their burning hands miserably.

”I told you, but you wouldn't listen. Happy now?” Xiang Shaoyun shrugged.

He had only utilized a tiny bit of Yun Flame's power. If he had used more, he could have instantly burned the two to crisp. He had no intention to kill anyone in the Cloud Margin Pavilion. Doing so would only attract more attention, and attention was the last thing he needed.

Zhuo Yi was flabbergasted to see his companions being injured so easily. But he was even more furious as he pointed at Xiang Shaoyun and bellowed, ”I was trying to play nice, but since you refused to play along, let me tell you that you are only my master's follower. Be obedient and you might still have a chance to survive this. Otherwise, you're dead for sure!”

”Hehe, I am your master's relative,” Xiang Shaoyun said as he flashed a wide smile.

Inwardly, he was filled with contempt, What an idiot. Even your master is but a puppet of mine. Who are you to act tough in front of me?

Zhuo Yi was so infuriated he nearly spat blood.

”Hmph. Relative my a.s.s. I don't know what you did to flatter my master so much, but I won't let you succeed. Come with me!” Zhuo Yi said before he suddenly moved.

The moment he moved, he used his full power, and a dragon claw formed and grabbed at Xiang Shaoyun's shoulder. He attacked with his maximum speed, not giving Xiang Shaoyun a chance to react. However, every single detail of the attack was crystal clear before Xiang Shaoyun's eyes. He avoided the grip without any effort at all.

But Zhuo Yi wasn't a pushover either. After missing his first attack, he was able to quickly readjust and clawed at Xiang Shaoyun's face instead. If that attack had landed, Xiang Shaoyun's face would have been ruined.

Xiang Shaoyun frowned and said, ”You're asking for it!”

Finally deciding to counterattack, Xiang Shaoyun gripped Zhuo Yi's arm and gave it a twist.

Crack!

”AHHHH!”

Zhuo Yi's arm was snapped, causing him to wail like a pig being slaughtered. He broke out in cold sweat.

”This is a lesson I am teaching you on your master's behalf. If your Lightning Alliance insists on looking for trouble, I don't mind completely destroying your alliance as well,” declared Xiang Shaoyun overbearingly.

But Zhuo Yi was still unyielding as he said, ”Kill me if you dare! The honor of the Lightning Alliance can not be trampled on!”

”You have been terribly brainwashed.” Xiang Shaoyun rolled his eyes. He kicked Zhuo Yi away and resumed his journey to Gong Qinyin's place, completely ignoring the three.

With a face filled with resentment, Zhuo Yi glared at Xiang Shaoyun's departing back and thought to himself, b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you will regret your actions!

Xiang Shaoyun walked along a trail in a forested area in a relaxed manner, looking as if the little episode earlier had not ruined his mood. But in truth, he disliked such pointless struggles.

Can't I just cultivate in peace for a bit? Xiang Shaoyun sighed to himself.

Soon, he arrived at Gong Qinyin's estate. The estate was shrouded in elegance and tranquility, and melodic zither tunes could be heard coming from within.

The tune was extremely graceful and moving, painting a picture of various oriole singing away. The melody flowed like the clearest of spring water, soaking every listener in a comfortable and refres.h.i.+ng feeling. The tune suddenly changed, giving off a faint trace of melancholy, causing one to be sucked in and to start feeling melancholic as well. The feeling was similar to what one would feel when missing a loved one, a sensation of unrequited love.
