Chapter 241 (2/2)

Soon, he arrived at Qiu Chonglei's estate alongside Gong Qinyin. The estate was already filled by a large number of people with solemn expressions. It was obvious these people were the Lightning Alliance members that were also inner disciples. Each of them was at least a Transformation Realm expert.

They had received news that Xiang Shaoyun was coming here long ago. All of them were currently glaring at him fiercely. Wen Jinrui and Wen Jinruo were among them. Even w.a.n.g Jiaohua was there. But traces of fear could be seen in the eyes of these three in particular.

Even if the Lightning Alliance managed to eventually take Xiang Shaoyun down, the three would have to pay a great price to compensate the alliance for what they did for them. Wen Jinrui would never believe that a regular king-grade weapon would be able to satisfy Qiu Chonglei. After the entire thing ended, he would most likely have to offer Qiu Chonglei even more benefits.

Xiang Shaoyun glanced at the group before him and smiled. ”Where is your Guardian Qiu? I thought he had a bounty on me? I'm here. Is he not coming out to meet me? Is this how the Lightning Alliance greets a guest?”

”Hehe, if you are willing to join the Lightning Alliance, you will be a friend of ours. And naturally, you will be receiving an entirely different treatment then,” said Qiu Chonglei with a smile as he walked out the estate with a small group walking alongside him.

Xiang Shaoyun raised his brow as he studied the young man before him who was about 20 years old. He clasped his fists and asked, ”You're Qiu Chonglei? You don't look that much, to be honest.”

One ought to admit that Xiang Shaoyun was pretty good at provoking others' anger. Just a few words from him were enough to put a gloomy expression on Qiu Chonglei's face.

As one of the four great guardians of the Lightning Alliance, Qiu Chonglei was a person who spoke with his strength instead of his looks. As a matter of fact, he really wasn't a person with good looks. When standing near Xiang Shaoyun, the contrast between the two was extremely p.r.o.nounced. Being a person who cared a lot about his reputation, Qiu Chonglei naturally couldn't swallow what Xiang Shaoyun said about him in front of so many people.

”Impudent. Since you are the one who had harmed someone from the Lightning Alliance first, I shall cripple you today. Men, go!” Qiu Chonglei ordered the people around him.

Just as the people were about to charge Xiang Shaoyun, Gong Qinyin suddenly spoke, ”Who dares?”

Gong Qinyin knew Xiang Shaoyun was strong, but she was still afraid that there were too many enemies for Xiang Shaoyun to handle. In terms of strength alone, Gong Qinyin was nothing special in the Cloud Margin Pavilion. But her shout was still able to cause all of them to hesitate. There was nothing they could do. She was the personal disciple of the Zither Empress.

”Junior Sister Gong, this has nothing to do with you. You better leave immediately,” said Qiu Chonglei with a frown.

Gong Qinyin raised her head and asked, ”What if I say no?”

”Then you can't blame me if I don't hold back against you. I doubt the Zither Empress would interfere too much with this anyway,” said Qiu Chonglei coldly.

”You—” Gong Qinyin wanted to continue speaking but was interrupted by Xiang Shaoyun.

He said, ”This is a business between men. You don't have to get involved.”

Gong Qinyin said anxiously, ”But there are so many of them...”'

Xiang Shaoyun waved his hand and said candidly, ”Just a bunch of useless people with empty reputations.”

”He is completely looking down on us! Let me, Sun Qiang, show you what we are made of!” said a young man with his golden sword raised.

After he said that, a golden beam shot forth toward Xiang Shaoyun. Sun Qiang's attack was merely the start. The others attacked as well, and everyone started ganging up on Xiang Shaoyun.

They were aware of what Xiang Shaoyun had done earlier. Thus, none of them held back when they attacked. They were of the opinion that Xiang Shaoyun was most certainly exhausted after several battles. Now would be their best chance to take him. Unfortunately, they had still underestimated Xiang Shaoyun. That mistake was one they would suffer gravely for.
