Chapter 373 (2/2)

”Please stop! No one has to die today, I will come with you!”

Both sides stopped whatever they were doing and looked to Zhang Liena who flew forward and placed herself in front of Huo Qiang.

”Are you sure you want to do this? I say we fight… how do you expect me to face him if I just let them take you like this?”

”I know, but the lives of our people and family members are more important. Even if we win today, there is nowhere that we can hide…”

”Good, you came to a decision, let us depart then.”

”Don't worry, the rumors about the young master are over-exaggerated. Your matriarch will be well cared for and any offspring will become part of the Soaring Dragon Sect.”

Tong put on a stone-cold face while talking as he knew that this was total horseshit. The woman that they would be taking with them will be lucky if she came out alive after everything was over.

Most of the women end up dried up husks of their former selves. Then if they survived they were tossed out of the young master's peak to fend for themselves. Some remained in the sect out of necessity while others took their own lives as they were unable to cope with what had happened.

”Do you really want us to believe that?”

Huo Qiang snorted while backing off, he looked to the young master in question that was in the process of ŀɨċkɨnġ his lips. Soon he stood before his prize, Zhang Liena, the late Patriarch's wife.

Tong was close by and ready, if anyone tried to pull something he would need to act. He did not like this grandson of the Patriarch but if something happened to him, then his head could roll.

Even his status might not be able to shield him from the Patriarch's rage and he knew that the old man doted on this young master here. He was convinced that the young man was the future and if the future was gone then he feared that the Patriarch could do something drastic.

Luckily it didn't seem that anything out of the ordinary would be happening. While the man with red hair moved slowly back the woman begrudgingly approached them. The young master Wang didn't hide his ŀustful gaze. It was clear that it was fixated on the woman's rather large ċhėst which put most of the other concubines to shame.

Just as with any other concubine, Tong knew that the young master would not be able to show restraint. It didn't matter that they were in public and that everyone from the United Element Sect was staring daggers at them. They could only watch as their Matriarch got harassed.

But just before the man could grasp that ċhėst, Tong felt an attack coming from the side. It was strange as it was easy to read, he didn't even have to move as it fizzled away into nothingness just from getting close to his nascent soul aura.

The attack was followed by an angry-looking girl. Just from the face, he could tell that the person was related to this matriarch and the ċhėst size was quite similar. The biggest difference was the height as this girl was about a head shorter.

”Leave my sister alone!”

”Oh? Isn't that a feisty one! They are sisters? Even better!”

Tong wanted to sigh as he saw his young master's eyes glitter. He instantly knew that the girl that just attacked would be taken as well. Even though the girl charged forward she was restrained by the people from the United Element Sect.

It was clear that they wanted to remove her from the situation. Alas, it was too late, the young master had made his decision so he needed to follow up on it.

”Release the girl, she will also come with us.”

The young master nodded and moved his attention to the United Sect Matriarch. His hand reached out but before the fingers could sink into the goods another event interrupted them. Tong could hear a strange buzzing sound and instead of soft flesh, the grasping hand collided with something.

”What? But I used the spirit points… how could this barrier go against the system?”

It was the defensive barrier that was once again operating. Tong did not know how his master removed it in the first place but it seemed that he didn't know why it was running either.

The barrier wasn't the only problem as the whole city began to rumble. The floating castle in the background began to glow in a golden light and Tong could see that it started moving towards them.

”How could this be? The Patriarch's citadel is unable to function without his presence… could this mean?”

The people from the United Element's Sect looked to the glowing castle with wide eyes with one person in particular looking with quite the zeal.
