Chapter 370 (2/2)

The old Emperor grew excited, but he quickly shut his eyes, calmed down, and focused on recovering. He was already incapable of combat and wouldn't be able to do anything anyway. Since the young man before him was showing him kindness, he could be at ease and focus on healing for now.

Meanwhile, Devouring Ghost had already ended combat, and the three pursuers had been killed. Both Devouring Ghost and Du Xuanhao returned to Xiang Shaoyun and stood by his side without asking anything.

Xiang Shaoyun took the initiative and told them, ”These two might be related to a friend of mine, so I couldn't watch on without helping.”

A look of realization hit Devouring Ghost's face, and he nodded. As a follower, one ought to know one's position. There were things one did not need to know, and Devouring Ghost had always been very clear about that.

He took out the three storage rings he had gotten from the three Emperors and handed them to Xiang Shaoyun.

Xiang Shaoyun did not accept them. Rather, he said, ”See if there is anything that you need in there. If there is, just take it for yourself.”

Since Devouring Ghost had occupied a body cultivating a different power from his original body, he did require some items to help him fully fuse and regain his strength.

Devouring Ghost thanked, ”Thank you, young master.”

Day by day, his admiration for how Xiang Shaoyun handled things grew. He also found that Xiang Shaoyun really resembled his previous master a lot, and the only thing lacking comparatively was that sense of overbearingness.

But that was something that could be developed, and it would arrive if he was given time to grow. Devouring Ghost searched all three rings, and after taking what he needed, he handed the rest to Xiang Shaoyun.

Once again, Xiang Shaoyun walked to Dong Ziming, who was at a loss as to what to do.

”Tell me what happened,” said Xiang Shaoyun indifferently.

A timid look appeared on Dong Ziming's face as he asked, ”W-what do you want to know?”

He had always been an arrogant person and would never easily bow before others. But that slap to his face had planted a seed of fear in his heart.

”Why were you being pursued?” Xiang Shaoyun asked.

”I-it's those Tai Clan b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! They colluded with the Xing Clan, trying to completely destroy our Dong Clan!” Dong Ziming complained indignantly.

”How strong are those two clans? And how strong is your clan?” asked Xiang Shaoyun. Back then, he had guessed that Dong Ziwan had an extraordinary background. What he saw here had only reaffirmed his guess.

”I thought you knew my big sister? You don't know about the great Dong Clan?” Dong Ziming asked, his arrogance seeping out again.

Xiang Shaoyun knocked Dong Ziming's head in a displeased manner and said, ”Cut the c.r.a.p. Just answer what I ask.”

”They are both tier-4 organizations that we have always suppressed. The Dong Clan is a tier-5 organization, the sole overlord of the Five Denseforest Cities. Even the Tai Clan and the Xing Clan have to bow before us. But three years ago, our ancestor got himself seriously injured on a trip outside the city and has ultimately pa.s.sed away, stroking the ambitions of the Tai and Xing Clans. And now they are finally making a move against us. Those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds! They will all die miserably! They think our Dong Clan can be bullied so easily?” Dong Ziming said, gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth furiously.

”Looks like your Dong Clan will still be fine in the meantime. Why are you being pursued, then?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.

”It's my big sister Dong Ziwan's fault. She rejected the proposed marriage with the Illusionary Palm Society and even fled home. I was out looking for her when those people found me and started chasing after me,” complained Dong Ziming.
