Chapter 638 (1/2)

Zhu Changchuang was rather good at observing people, and he had always suspected that the face Lady Shura was showing was a fake one. Through several days of observation, he was now sure that her current face was fake. That was how he came to the decision of having some fun with her before Xiang Shaoyun's arrival. He reasoned that both Xiang Shaoyun and Lady Shura wouldn't survive, so he might as well enjoy himself first. After all, Lady Shura's figure was truly too alluring. If it wasn't for the fake ugly face she had, he would have taken her much sooner.

Lady Shura shut her eyes helplessly, her heart filled with despair. She had left the academy alone to prove that she was capable of achieving something with her own two hands. She was trying to increase her strength with her own efforts to reduce the gap between her and Xiang Shaoyun.

But instead, she was captured. It made her feel extremely powerless. She thought of Xiang Shaoyun, wondering if she would have the courage to face him after being dishonored by a different man. Just as Zhu Changchuang's hand was about to reach her, something else suddenly happened.

The peak Emperor had suddenly returned, sending a palm thrust toward the back of Zhu Changchuang's head. Zhu Changchuang had a reaction time that lived up to his reputation as a genius capable of entering the Dragon Phoenix Academy. He crouched down instantly and barely avoided the peak Emperor's fatal attack. However, the peak Emperor did not stop at that, and he pressed on with a kick.

”AHHH!”

Zhu Changchuang was sent flying far away like a kite with a broken string. Both Winter Frost and Summer Flame noticed the disturbance. They rushed over and shouted at the peak Emperor, ”What the h.e.l.l are you doing?”

”Elders, he was trying to harm the hostage. I was trying to stop him,” said the peak Emperor.

”What's the big deal about that? You were attacking to kill! How are you going to answer to the ninth young master about this?” questioned Winter Frost with a frown.

”I had attacked in consideration of the ninth young master. If he decides to punish me for it, I'll accept it,” answered the peak Emperor.

”Watch over the girl properly, then. I'll go check on that kid to see if he's dead,” said Summer Flame as he dashed toward Zhu Changchuang.

At this time, the early ninth-stage Emperor returned as well. He had not expected that in the short time they had split, his partner would return and nearly kill Zhu Changchuang. Of course, he did not dare to question his partner. They were all sent here by the Di Clan, and he was the weakest of the lot. It was not his place to question anyone.

However, the incident still filled him with doubt. Earlier, his partner had not bothered stopping Zhu Changchuang. So why would he suddenly return and attack? Zhu Changchuang was still alive, at his final breath, and was successfully rescued by Summer Flame. The Emperor's attack was something Zhu Changchuang had not seen coming, and he couldn't even understand the reason no matter how hard he thought about it.

Xiang Shaoyun, who was hiding not far from them, had also learned about what had happened. In truth, the peak Emperor was one of the people who had attacked Xiang Shaoyun at the Dragon Phoenix Mountain Range. He was Yu Lin, and he had already fallen under Xiang Shaoyun's control during the attack. Xiang Shaoyun had only discovered that Yu Lin was also here when he had arrived. Through the Nether Dragon Soul Headband, he started controlling Yu Lin.

How generous of them to send Winter Frost and Summer Flame to deal with me, thought Xiang Shaoyun.

The two old men were Di Batian's loyal followers. They were considerably powerful, and only an old expert at the level of Duo Ji could be a match for them. Even with the nether prison devil puppet, he would have a hard time dealing with just one of them, not to mention both of them. Although he could ambush them with his invisibility, actually killing them was a pipe dream. He might even cause Lady Shura's death if he tried anything stupid. His only option was to wait for Shang Jifeng's reinforcements.
