Chapter 696: Definitely Capture Them Alive!
A Ying Family guard suddenly ran in, all flustered, until he was in front of Ying Changtian. His tone was respectful but tense, “Reporting to Grand Elder, the south side of the Imperial City is under enemy attack !”
Several guards standing behind Ying Changtian exchanged looks among each other. Wasn't the entire Martial Spirit World under their Ying and Zhao Families’ control? How could there be any enemies that dared to attack?
Could it be some Martial Spirit World natives that didn't know death and fantasized about resisting them?
Faint creases appeared between Ying Chang tian’s brows, “How many people does the other side have?”
“Around twenty plus people.” That Ying Family guard honestly reported.
Twenty plus...? Ying Changtian was dazed for a second.
“Grand Elder, they are most likely some Martial Spirit World’s trifling small families trying to rebel. These ants seem tired of living, the few of us will go and handle them, there's no need to bother Grand Elder with something this insignificant.” One of the guards were fawning over Ying Changtian and trying to score some merit.
Thinking the matter over slightly, Ying Changtian nodded, “Good enough, the few of you go over and handle them, but don’t kill them yet. Just capture them! Later, I want to execute them right in front of Duan Wuhen and those convict slaves, let them realize what ending those who dare to rebel get! Let them know that, in our eyes, they’re nothing but ants!”
“An ant should know to live like one!”
“Yes, Grand Elder!”
“Please rest assured, Grand Elder, we’ll definitely capture them alive!”
The several Ying Family guards solemnly stated.
Ying Changtian nodded with satisfaction, waving his hand, “Go then.”
All six guards acknowledged and saluted before turning toward the southern city gates, flying at high speed.
In the air, high above Duanren Imperial City’s southern gates, Shi Xiaofei, Blessed Buddha Emperor, and the Huang Family members were all angered seeing the situation inside the city. Especially Xie Puti, his killing intent almost solidified the air around him.
Down in the Imperial City below, many of the Xie Family’s core Xiantian disciples and Elders were garbed in convict clothes, their hands and feet bound by heavy shackles as they carried large pieces of ores, forced to do hard labor like slaves!
Their convict clothes were stained with dried and fresh bloodstains, proof that they were subjected to frequent whipping and torture!
Guo Tai too was filled with whelming killing intent, for he saw amongst these convicts a large number of Guo Family’s core disciples and Elders. One of them was his Eldest Uncle, Guo Shiwen! Their Guo Family’s Patriarch!
That year, only their Guo Family Ancestor, him, and his parents followed Huang Xiaolong to the Cloudsea Mainland, whereas his Eldest Uncle and family remained behind in the Martial Spirit World.
His Eldest Uncle’s current appearance was dirty, with disheveled hair, littered with mineral dust and soil, face lined with wrinkles, his back hunched. It was vastly different to how his Eldest Uncle used to be. If it weren’t because he was familiar with his Eldest Uncle, Guo Tai truly wouldn’t have been able to recognize this person as Guo Shiwen!
A fierce light flickered in Guo Tai’s eyes.
When he left with Huang Xiaolong, his Eldest Uncle was a peak late-Tenth Order Xiantian realm expert, close to reaching half-step Saint realm. How much torture had he endured to be reduced to this state?!
That loud boom earlier came from Guo Tai shattering one of the giant furnaces to pieces with an enraged punch!
By this point, the Ying Family’s soldiers tightly encircled Huang Xiaolong’s group.
“Punk, which slaves’ family are you from? Such a big courage! Actually dared to attack Duanren Imperial City’s crucial location!” One of the Ying Family guards hollered as he glared at Huang Xiaolong’s group. “Obediently surrender now, and we…!”
