Chapter 173: House of Heavenly Fiends

Nan Xun huffed. He didn't care how pitiful Rong'er looked right now. The resentment he bore for Rong'er could not be stronger. He led Jun Huang away.

Everything had happened so suddenly. Before Jun Huang quite realized what had happened, Rong'er fell to the ground. Nan Xun took Jun Huang's wrist once she had put away the jade. Before they could get away, a group of people showed up. From their clothes it was obvious that they were Rong'er's senior brothers and sisters.

”Are the gentlemen going to just leave after hurting someone?” one of Rong'er's senior sisters said after helping Rong'er up. She stared at Nan Xun and Jun Huang with cold eyes.

Nan Xun and Jun Hang exchanged a look. The guards tensed up and got ready to jump in. The somewhat narrow street suddenly felt a lot more crowded. Both sides were gearing up for the impending conflict. The owners of the street stands fled without even stopping to gather their wares.

Nan Xun scoffed at the woman in red dress. ”You're blindly taking your sister's side, or you wouldn't have thought that I was in the wrong. Besides, what Rong'er has done over the past few days is inexcusable. If you truly want the best for her, you will teach her how to behave and rid her of her malicious thoughts.”

”You – how dare you?” Rong'er's sister had believed that she had the moral high ground, but Nan Xun managed to render her speechless with a few words. She ground her teeth together and glared at Nan Xun and Jun Huang.

Jun Huang's gaze swept over these disciples of prestigious sect with a smile and said, ”We all know what had actually happened. Why must you provoke this conflict? We're leaving this town soon. There's no need for us to make enemies.” Her tone was soft, but she was loud enough for everyone to hear her.

”Ha! You certainly talk big. If not for you, however, Rong'er wouldn't have done those things.”

Jun Huang let out a silent scoff. She didn't expect these people to twist the facts like this. She turned to Nan Xun, who pursed his lips in annoyance.

”You are the ones who made her the hateful and ill-mannered woman she is today,” said Nan Xun. ”We're leaving now. What are you going to do?”

Nan Xun didn't have the patience to argue with these people. His expression darkened and his eyes turned cold.

Rong'er's seniors shared a look. They knew this was a fight that had to happen. There was no fear in their hearts. No matter how good Nan Xun was, he couldn't fight more than a dozen people with only four helpers at his side, could he?

Someone made the first move. In an instant the two sides were engaged in a chaotic fight. Nan Xun told the guards to keep Jun Huang safe even though Jun Huang had said she could help.

He knew Jun Huang shouldn't be tapping into her inner energy in this state, or the poison in her body might act up again. He would not risk Jun Huang's life for anything. Besides, these people were no threat to him. It wouldn't take long for him to deal with them.

Rong'er was watching the fight from behind her senior sister. One by one, her seniors were defeated. This was the first time Rong'er had ever seen Nan Xun fight. She never knew anyone could gain such a mystery in martial arts. He was moving so quickly that all she could see was a blur.

While Rong'er was pleased that the man she loved was a master fighter, she was worried about her seniors. Her eyes went red in concerns. She pointed at Jun Huang and shouted, ”Are you a man or not, Feng Baiyu?! You always hide behind other people and never deal with your own problems. You shameless and disgusting man!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Nan Xun leveled her with a sharp and threatening glare. His eyes were as cold as ice. Rong'er shuddered and backed away, pressing a hand over her chest. It looked as if he was going to strangle her to dead.

Soon, all of Rong'er's seniors had been defeated by Nan Xun. They lay on the ground grimacing in pain. Some held onto their stomachs while others held onto their arms. It was quite a scene.

Nan Xun stood tall among them with Jun Huang behind him, graceful and dignified. He cast those people a cold glance and let out a huff. Now he wasn't in a hurry to leave.

Rong'er's face paled in fear and her eyes were filled with tears. Her careless words had caused her seniors' pain. She felt her heart ache.

The oldest of the group got to his feet and wiped away Rong'er's tears before helping his companions up. They supported each other's weight and glared at Nan Xun.
