Chapter 192 - Snare (1/2)

“Young miss, what are you doing here?”

They looked shocked as she appeared and started going through gestures.

Luo Yunchang smiled, “We are a family. We live together, we die together!”

They all trembled and felt immense gratitude. It was worth dying for a clan that valued them so.

“But what of Yunhai?” Lei Yuntian staggered to his feet with a pale face.

Bitterness flooded Luo Yunchang’s face, but soon replaced it with a smile, “It’s fine. He’s grown up now, almost entering the Qi Condensation Stage. I had him go look for Zhuo Fan. He will be safe with him.”

Luo Yunchang may have said so, but anyone could see it worried her still.

Sighing, the others began worrying as well. Luo Yunhai was but a child. Searching the empire for Zhuo Fan was fine as long as he did find him. But in this world, danger lurked at every turn.

“Ha-ha-ha, are you guys talking about that brat?”

A cackling came from the blackfire pyre. With a boom, the flames were repelled and the Venerable walked forward.

“Humph, your steward dared to kill 7th elder and has been sentenced to death. No matter where he runs, we’ll be close behind him! As for you, Luo clan, you have committed a heinous crime for bringing such evil into this world. Not one shall be spared. I will find even that kid of yours and grind his bones to dust!”

“You won’t even spare a child?” Luo Yunchang gnashed her teeth.

The Venerable snickered, “Not even if he is a baby. I will kill him where he stands, without the slightest hesitation!”

Luo Yunchang was enraged as she clenched her hands.

Then, a sudden childish voice came, “You don’t need to look. I’m right here!”

The others looked in shock at the speaker, “Yunhai, what are you doing here?”

Beaming a wide smile, Luo Yunhai spoke with unbending courage, “Sister, our Luo clan’s ancestors taught us to be steadfast and righteous. I cannot let you throw your lives away just so that I alone may live!”

Hearts stirring, his clansmen looked at Luo Yunhai with an indescribable look. Even Li Jingtian had to sigh in the end.

Luo clan was admirable, maybe not the strongest by far, but they had loyalty first and foremost!

[I was wrong. Was this what Steward Zhuo meant when he said this clan was the best in the world?]

Li Jingtian sighed. But even now, he misunderstood what Zhuo Fan meant. There was no way a Demonic Emperor like Zhuo Fan would value affection.

The meaning of his words were: [Wherever I am, that place is the strongest!]

But that was all unimportant. Here and now, Li Jingtian didn’t join Zhuo Fan’s gang because he was forced, but from seeing the Luo clan’s spirit. He felt that the Luo clan of now, was far better than the seven houses…

“Ha-ha-ha, since all of Luo clan is here, then allow me to send you off, permanently.” With a mad cackle, the Venerable’s eyes flashed with bloodthirst, while the other two behind snickered.

Luo Yunchang’s heart was ready for battle, “If you want my brother, you’ll have to go through me!”

Luo Yunchang’s hands moved.

The blackfire started swirling like a tornado, with that Venerable at its center. She clearly wanted to swallow him in a sea of flames.

“Blackfire Storm!”

And yet, the Venerable was standing there with an unphased look as he waited for the blackfire to storm him from all directions.

Then, a soul ripple echoed out, extinguishing the blackfire into nothing.

Luo Yunchang was forced to spit blood, under the anxiousness of her clansmen.

Snorting, the Venerable mocked, “This 5th-grade array of yours is pretty good. Too bad, your cultivation is too low. You’re not even a Bone Tempering cultivator and your control is sorely lacking. But now, you no longer have time for regrets, for I am here to send you on your last journey!”

The Venerable stretched his hand, making Captain Pang and the rest tense to take the brunt of the attack. He knew very well how fruitless it all was, yet, he still wanted to uphold his duty until the very last moment.

Suddenly, there were two groans and the Venerable’s movement slacked. He turned his head in inconceivable shock. Luo Yunchang was also wide-eyed.

Their eyes reflected two blood-red fists coming out of two people’s chests.

The two Venerables in the back were still laid back in enjoying the drama. They were just about to witness the end of the Luo clan when they suddenly felt their life ebbing from their chests.

Jerkingly turning their heads back, their eyes reflected the cold and unfeeling face of Li Jingtian.

“E-Elder Li, wh….”
