Chapter 382 (2/2)

Dong Zhuoyue broke out in cold sweat. If he was the one who had attacked earlier, he would currently be a dead man.

”Friend, why are you killing a member of our clan?” Dong Zhongyuan, who had just returned with the surviving Dong Clan Emperors, asked with a frown.

”You have to ask your people. We fought hard to help you win the battle, yet your man dared to attack my young master? He is courting death!” Devouring Ghost spat, radiating a thick bloodl.u.s.t.

Du Xuanhao landed beside Xiang Shaoyun and stood guard beside him. Inwardly, he thought, Young Master Xiang is indeed worthy of being a key person of a large organization. Even someone like Devouring Ghost is showing him such devotion. I really need to conduct myself better and act in accordance with my station before him in the future.

Although he had agreed to follow Xiang Shaoyun for the sake of obtaining the Scorching Sun Manual and increasing his combat prowess, he still felt some resistance toward his ident.i.ty as a follower.

But now, after spending all these days with Xiang Shaoyun, he had personally witnessed Xiang Shaoyun's terrifying potential. That coupled with the absolute devotion of someone like Devouring Ghost had convinced him that Xiang Shaoyun would definitely grow into a person of remarkable accomplishment. He was starting to let go of his pride as the Saber Emperor, slowly attempting to adapt himself to his new status as a follower.

”What happened exactly?” Both Dong Zhongyuan and Dong Qinggu glared at Dong Zhuoyue in anger. Both of them wanted to know why Dong Zhuoyue was suddenly offending their saviors.

The Dong Clan had just experienced a ma.s.sive battle and had lost more than half of their Emperors. If they angered the people who had helped them at this moment, it would be akin to adding salt to the wound.

With two of his elders glaring at him, Dong Zhuoyue s.h.i.+vered and finally realized that the young man who had scolded him was their clan's savior. He had actually listened to his woman and caused an Emperor of his clan to die. He was filled with regret, and in his anger, he turned and slapped Yan Li on her face.

Pa!

Yan Li was sent flying, wailing miserably. Her face was nearly deformed from the slap.

”Men, drag her away,” commanded Dong Zhuoyue.

At that command, Yan Li was arrested and taken away. While she was being dragged away, she yelled miserably, ”I am the clan leader's wife! Let go of me! Let go of me!”

After Yan Li was brought away, Dong Zhuoyue apologized to Xiang Shaoyun, ”My apologies, young hero. I should not have trusted that woman's words.”

His apology was a rather significant gesture, considering his status as the leader of a large clan. Both Dong Zhongyuan and Dong Qinggu were full of praise at his willingness to swallow his pride. With their clan in such a crisis, they really shouldn't be attracting more trouble.

”It really has nothing much to do with me. It's your clan's internal affair. I am only a good friend of Dong Ziwan,” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly.

”Since you are Little Wan's friend, you are also our clan's esteemed guest. We are lucky to be able to obtain your a.s.sistance today. I hope you can consider staying a bit to rest up,” invited Dong Qinggu, acting like Devouring Ghost had not killed an Emperor of their clan at all.

”It's fine. We will be leaving now,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a wave of his hand.

The expressions of the people from the Dong Clan s.h.i.+fted. They knew very well that if Xiang Shaoyun's group left now, those traitors and the Illusionary Palm Society would definitely return, and that would be the end of their clan.

Dong Qinggu looked at Dong Ziwan and said, ”Little Wan, we can't let your friend leave just like this after helping us, right?” He was a shrewd old man with a rich experience in life. He knew that only Dong Ziwan could make Xiang Shaoyun stay.
