Chapter 77 - Lets be Reasonable (2/2)
“…” Yu Haiheng was dumbfounded.
“I believe that Great… Sect Master Yi would not malign people. Since she has already disposed of him, he must have committed a huge wrong.”
“Xuan Yuanyu!” Yu Haiheng was fuming, unsure of why Xuan Yuanyu would rather offend the Yu Family and stand by the side of the Invincible Sect.
“Master Yu, this is a misunderstanding. Quickly release Invincible Sect’s disciples, will you?” I am trying to save you dude!
Xuan Yuanyu’s underlying message did not get across to Yu Haiheng. Yu Haiheng sneered and looked directly at Yin Feng, asking, “Does Master Yin also think that Zhen Xiang deserved to die?”
“This…” Yin Feng glanced back and forth between Xuan Yuanyu and Yu Haiheng. Wasn’t this problem between the Yu Family and the Invincible Sect? Why did the two of them begin fighting first? He felt some hesitation, not knowing which side to stand on, but in the end he looked over at his son’s expectant face and said with a sigh, “I also believe in Sect Master Yi’s character. If there really was someone in the Yu Family committing such evil deeds, Master Yu should really thank Sect Master Yi for helping you to clean your sect.”
“All of you…” Yu Haiheng was obviously unhappy with this outcome. His intention to suppress the Invincible Sect had not only ended with no gains, it had also dragged out an ugly matter from his family into the open. “Even if that’s the case, they are still the escaped slaves of my Yu Family.”
“Master Yu, that’s not right,” Xuan Yuan Family interrupted. “Zhen Xiang really did commit such evil deeds, so he cannot be considered to be of a decent sect and naturally would not be considered as one of the Yu Family’s people. The human cauldrons under him are also no longer the family slaves of the Yu Family, so how are there still escaped slaves?”
“There still isn’t a definitive conclusion for this matter. A one-sided story is insufficient to use as evidence.” Yu Haiheng still did not want to let it go. “Since Zhen Xiang’s body is nowhere to be found at present, how can we be sure that he did practice fiendish arts?”
“It’s in Upper Azure Town,” Shen Ying replied. “That guy should still be beneath the ground. You guys can go and dig a little. You should be able to dig up his body.” She then pondered for a bit before adding, “Yeah, maybe you need to dig deeper.”
Underground!
Xuan Yuanyu shivered, recalling certain images, and he suddenly did not feel like asking what had happened in Upper Azure Town anymore.
Yu Haiheng’s face went completely black with no argument to refute her. The Yu Family had already received some news with the matters regarding Zhen Xiang. They had only been using it as an excuse to suppress the Invincible Sect, but if they were to find Zhen Xiang’s body, because a Nascent Soul’s corpse did not rot, a check of the meridians would clear everything up.
“Since the truth has not been investigated, this matter shall be laid to rest for today.” Yin Feng took a step forward. “Master Yu, please release the two disciples of Invincible Sect.”
“Yes, Master Yu, quickly let them go!” Xuan Yuanyu urged.
Delighted, Si Yu finally relaxed her nerves and looked over at Shen Ying with excitement.
“Right.” Shen Ying thought of something and she turned over to look at Yu Haiheng, slowly saying, “I don’t care about their pasts, but no matter what you find out in the future about Little Green or Little Red, they are the girls of my Invincible Sect. You can’t just capture them like this! I don’t have a good temper—you better remember that.”
What was that supposed to mean? A small sect master threatening the Yu Family! Yu Haiheng was so mad and was about to stand up when Xuan Yuanyu quickly went over to hold him back, smiling and nodding at Shen Ying.
“Of course, of course! This is a misunderstanding, so there’s no need to make a fuss about it. Master Yu, quickly release the other disciple of the Invincible Sect.”
He desperately winked at Yu Haiheng who finally understood what he meant. With a begrudging sneer, he finally suppressed his anger and signalled the Traveling Immortal elder at the side. The other party nodded and with a flash, disappeared from the hall.
Moments later, he reappeared to throw a person to the floor with a thud to land next Shen Ying.
In the few hours that she had been gone, Yu Hong’s original bright and beautiful clothing had been stained in dark red blood. There were wounds on her body and face which were so deep that the bones were visible. Her previously intricate hairstyle had been completely messed up, making her look extremely miserable.
“Senior Sister!” Si Yu quickly rushed over and helped her up carefully.
Yu Hong raised her head towards Shen Ying at the side and her eyes lit up as she softly called out, “Sect Master.” She opened her mouth try to show a smile to not let Sheng Yin worry, but the wounds on her face immediately began to bleed.
That was the last straw for Shen Ying—something inside of her exploded out.
She raised her head to look up with a laugh.
“Heh… I really don’t like being reasonable!”
“Great Immortal, no!”
It was too late, however; the next moment, Shen Ying was already behind Yu Haiheng.
…
Xuan Yuanyu’s heart skipped a beat. It’s over!
