Chapter 89: Punishment for Offense
Nonchalantly brushing off his hands, Shen returned to his group as if he had done a very insignificant thing. However those who knew the people defeated by him had their jaws dropping on the ground. From the start he only used one punch to defeat a single cultivator. Whether they were a peak Houtian or Xiantion, they were trash in front of him anyways.
After taking care of the two arrogant young masters of the Yang and Gongyang family, Shen and his group searched for an inn to pass the night. Among the group, quite a few people had complicated thoughts in their head, including the old and experienced Yu Donghao.
Yu Donghao had heard numerous rumors of Shen’s exceptional strength and power but this was his first time experiencing it and even he wondered whether he could withstand his single punch or not. No, there was no chance. At his peak strength, he was only a grade one Xiantian and he defeated grade two and three Xiantian as if they were vegetables!
“Shen, was it okay to injure them so seriously? I have heard the Yang and Gongyang family were a peak existence of the Heavenly River City...” Wenren Wugou anxiously remarked. Even if she had no idea about the outside world, what she didn’t lack was information. As the owner of the top brothel of the city, she had large amount information at her disposal.
“It’s all good. More like it would’ve been a problem if we didn’t. If you show them mercy, they wouldn’t thank you rather they would think you are weak. In this world showing mercy will only harm you than good. Besides they were pissing me off.” Shen lightly squeezed Wenren Wugou’s palm, he knew she had little to no idea of this world’s cruelty and not too long ago, she didn't even wish to cultivate.
“Don’t worry, Big Sister. Wushuang won’t let any harm fall on you!” Wenren Wushuang immediately hugged Wugou’s other arm and proudly said.
Wenren Wushuang was feeling extremely happy. Shen standing up for her already brimmed her heart to fill with sweetness. Obviously she could handle both Gongyang Yu and Yang Lei herself but Shen interfering in her steads caused strange happiness to bloom in her heart. Even though she wished to hug him and thank him, but restrain herself out of shame.
Yu He had a face that looked like she already decided on something and nothing could stop her.
Yu Ruyan only sighed and glanced at Yu Yu, “Charm techniques?” she murmured under breath as if asking herself.
Hearing her, Yu Yu turned to Yu Ruyan and smiled without any reply.
When Yang Lei stared at Yu Yu’s eyes, the former fell into trance and almost lost his sanity. This didn’t go unnoticed by Shen or Yu Ruyan, and if she didn’t push Yang Lei at that time, he would have lost his sanity and became a madman without any conscience.
“WHO DARESSS!!!!!”
A booming shout filled with extreme anger and grievances resounded through the 1/7th of the Samsong City causing everyone to look out of the window while those near the shout held the ears as tight as they could and ran without any designated direction. Many mortals had their eardrums damaged and blood rolled down their ears.
While many among the crowd ran, there were some cultivators who chuckled as they waited to see how things turn out. More than anything, they wanted to see the show that Yang and Gongyang family will show them.
“Hehehe, things are about to get interesting,” said an aged voice.
A young man gracefully shook his head, “I beg to differ, Master. Those are just random cultivators, how can they even stand against the families like Yang and Gongyang family.”
“Heh, what makes you say so? I didn’t think you hold those families so highly.”
“It’s not that I hold those families highly, it's just that group is too weak to fight against them. Besides, I have already cut all my ties with the Hua Clan. They are nothing but significant in front of the current me.”
Shockingly, this young man revealed his identity as someone from the Hua Clan of the Heavenly River City but his cultivation was obviously too high for someone from this backwater of Greencloud Continent. After all he exuded the aura of a peak Martial King at the age of 22!
“Aii... Hua Yun, you are too short-sighted, too short-sighted. Although I took you as my disciple, I couldn’t change your vision.”
The disciple didn't mind his master as he changed the topic, “Master, why are we stopping here? Shouldn't we investigate that pink pillar?”
“Haha, Yun'er, there's no problem in taking a break... hahaha,”
The old man laughed heartily as he disappeared in the dark alley. The young man followed his master still wondering how he was so short-sighted.
......
Inside a plain room of the Hamsong City, a beautiful girl sat with a somber expression. If one looked carefully, they would find her shivering and gulping out of fear.
Clack!
The sound of the door opening surprised her, almost causing her to jump.
A middle-aged man entered the room. The girl recognized instantly and got on her knees, “Patriarch Yang!” the identity of the man was shockingly Heavenly River City's Yang Clan Head, Yang Chao.
“Len girl, tell me honestly what happened there and I won’t make things difficult for you.”
The girl was Len Chai Di who accompanied Yang Lei and Gongyang Yu not long ago and disappeared without a trace.
“This Len doesn’t dare, it went like this...”
Len Chai Di described everything she knew in detail not even daring to let out a detail. After all, even if she was a disciple of the Flower Valley, she didn’t worth much in front of Yang Chao. After all disappearance of a few disciples at once wasn’t that uncommon. Although there’s some investigation, those were nothing character like Yang Chao would care about.
Listening everything Len Chai Di had to say, Yang Chao’s brows frowned tightly, “You want to say everything was caused by a single boy? Two Xiantian cultivators were injured severely. You want me to believe this shit??”
“I don’t dare, Patriarch Yang. I don’t dare...”
“Patriarch,” suddenly a man entered the room and whispered some words in Yang Chao’s ear.
Yang Chao face changed once again as he issued an order to the man, “Go and bring me everything of their backgrounds!”
“Yes, Patriarch.”
The man immediately left the room, leaving them alone once again.
“Len girl, you can go for now but let me remind you. If this incident were to spread from you, I’ll personally deal with you.”
“Many thanks, Patriarch. Many thanks.”
Len Chai Di scurried away from the room as if her life was on the line leaving the Patriarch in deep thought.
“Where did this monster come from...”
...
Inside a certain inn
Shen currently glared at Ruyan, his gaze contained anger.
“Now care telling me why you added me in this worthless tournament? I thought we decided to let only Wushuang enter in this.” Shen flatly said and gazed directly into Yu Ruyan’s eyes, who was sitting on the corner of the bed.
“I have no intention of replying,” Ruyan responded in a similar manner.
“Oh, you have to. I demand an explanation as your husband.” Shen said with a haughty expression as if he already won.
“How old are you?” Ruyan asked but she answered herself, “16—”
“41...”
“...Don’t spout obvious lies!” Ruyan got up and ruffled Shen’s head, “You are 16, and I’m the older one here. You will do what I tell you to.”
Shen used the chance to wrap his hands around her waist, “So what? You will still listen to your lord husband.”
“Hmph,” Yu Ruyan coldly snorted, “You are even weaker than me, why would I listen to you?”
“Oh, you sure? I will let you experience hell when I get stronger than you,” Shen lightly placed his hand on top of her white rabbits and squeezed tightly, “but now, I will punish you for your current offense.”
