Chapter 521 - Meeting With an Acquaintance (2/2)
“It’s a good day to die for me, but Lady Guo must escape here.”
With that thought in mind, Uncle Xie drew a deep breath as determination and resolve glowed in his eyes.
Suddenly, a voice drifted in from outside.
“Who told you that I am dead inside the Valley of No Return?”
The voice startled everyone. They looked toward the entrance and saw a young Chinese man ambled into the residence linking hands behind his back. Behind him was a scholarly looking man in the azure outfit.
The sight caught everyone off guard
“Chen Beixuan, and Dragon Lord? Are you both dead?”
Huang Jin stammered.
Guo Nuannuan covered her mouth in disbelief as an exhilarating sensation gripped her heart.
Fear contorted Leng Tong’s face while Uncle Xie struggled to kneel and kowtowed in near ecstasy. Tears welled in his eyes as he said: “It’s so nice to see you again, Ancestral Patriarch. G.o.d bless the Dragon Hall!”
“You may rise.”
Xie Yan said readily.
His impa.s.sive expression intensified the mood in the air. Everyone felt their hearts were caught in their throats and dared not to make any sudden moves. The Dragon Lord could easily kill anyone of them with ease, so they better stay put.
“Xie Yan, looks like you got into more trouble than me.”
Chen Fan was seemingly light-hearted by the situation. He scanned the group of men in black outfits and noticed that their s.h.i.+rts bore the Dragon Hall’s emblem. However, these warriors of the Dragon Hall were standing behind Leng Tong, opposite of the Dragon Lord.
“Sect Master, I apologize for this… farce.”
Xie Yan’s face flushed red with embarra.s.sment. He bowed to Chen Fan and said with great respect: “Please allow me to end this nonsense.”
“Knock yourself out. You are the Sect Guardian so that means the Dragon Hall is also part of the North Qiong Sect now. If I see anything I don’t like, I will intervene as well.” Chen Fan said lightly as he linked his hands behind his back.
Xie Yan nodded and stepped forward to cast an icy glare at the group of men before him.
The group of fighters suddenly felt a bone biting chill down their spines and. Xie Yan had cast out his Soul Energy at them, outright paralyzing these warriors.
“What is going on? I thought the Dragon Lord and Chen Beixuan were at each other’s odds. But it seemed that the Dragon Lord is under Chen Beixuan’s service now?”
Guo Nuannuan was confused by the turn of events.
“Bang!”
Before Xie Yan did anything to the group of fighters, they had all dropped to their knees to beg for their lives in shaky voices.
“Please forgive me, Dragon Lord. Please!”
Most of the Dragon Hall members had never seen Dragon Lord in person, but by then, they had all guessed that the man in black was the all mighty Dragon Lord.
“Your father, Leng Jianfeng also serves the Dragon Hall. Your ancestor had sworn his loyalty to me in person. So explain to me why are you attacking the Xie Family residence and taking advantage of your sect brothers and sisters?”
Xie Yan asked slowly.
“I…”
Words caught in Leng Tong’s throat.
“You have attacked my family and betrayed the Dragon Hall. You will get what you deserve!”
Before anyone realized what the Dragon Lord meant, a dark light shot out from behind Xie Yan and plunged into Leng Tong’s neck.
With a heavy thud, the heir of the Malaysian Grandmaster was decapitated on the spot. An incredulous expression was frozen on his face even in death.
Leng Tong’s cronies were all shaken to their cores by the development. Leng Tong was the son of a Grandmaster and a powerful Internal Force user in his own right. However, he was killed by Xie Yan without even giving him a chance to explain himself.
Guo Nuannuan and Xie Jintang were both relieved after seeing the death of the young man.
“Arrh!”
The rest of the Dragon Hall fighters kowtowed to the Dragon Lord and pleaded: “Please don’t kill us. We are just following the Leng Family’s orders.”
“Humph! The Hacking Blades are the elite force that are loyal only to the Hall Master. Since when did you take orders from Leng Jianfeng?” Xie Yan snorted.
By then, Chen Fan finally noticed that the huge blades strapped on these warriors back. He wagered that the Hacking Blades was an elite force in the Dragon Hall similar to the Dark Moon of the Hong Sect.
“Err…”
The Dragon Hall Warriors looked at each other in fear without answering the question.
Leng Jianfeng was never close to the center of the Dragon Hall’s power. The governing body of the Dragon Hall was the council of the four clans. Without a unanimous decision of the four clans, no one could order the Hacking Blades to do their bidding.
“Tell me what happened while I was away.”
Xie Yan said calmly.
“Yes!”
The warriors had no choice but to fill him in on the details.
