Sun Mingxiu said with a bitter smile, "Although I am not from a great family, we used to be doing quite well. However, we were attacked by enemies and everyone was killed overnight. This is a thing of the past, and it is useless to say more. But, the most profound memory of the tragedy in my mind is when my late father was besieged by the enemy and fell into a disadvantageous and precarious situation. I know that he could break out and escape with his cultivation base, but he never did that and fought until he was killed. Before he died, he cried out at the top of his lungs—if a man cannot protect his family, what’s the point of living?"
"My late father’s words have been ringing in my ears all these years, and to be able to protect everything I have is my lifelong obsession."
"The Residence of Nine Supremes is my home, and all the senior brothers, senior sisters, junior brothers, and junior sisters are my brothers and sisters. My wish in this life is to live safely and happily with everyone forever. Anyone who tries to destroy this, I will definitely fight them to the death!"
With a smile on his face, he said, "That’s pretty much what I have in mind. I couldn’t think of anything more long-term."
Yun Yang smiled warmly and said softly as he gave Sun Mingxiu a deep look, "Mingxiu, you are very good, very good!"
This disciple might not be as gifted as Bai Yexing and Yun Xiuxin, but he had a good heart.
By the time the conversation with Sun Mingxiu ended, Hu Xiaofan had also finished his fight, and he even collected all the spoils and handed them to Yun Yang with a smile. "Master, I was able to accomplish the task by good luck, and the spoils are quite abundant…Hehe…"
Yun Yang’s face darkened as he said gravely, "Why are you laughing?"
Hu Xiaofan’s face turned pale at once, and he squared his shoulder as he said, "I’m sorry!"
"Hand all the spoils to your Uncle-Master s.h.i.+!" Yun Yang glared at him and said, "The timing of your attack is not bad, but what is the matter with your sword moves? They are all messy and out of order! If it weren’t for your superior cultivation base, you would have been killed by now! How could you be so proud of yourself? Why are you laughing? Are you thinking about the spoils? You want a share of it?"
Hu Xiaofan’s forehead was covered with cold sweat. "No, I have absolutely no such intentions."
Yun Yang snorted and stopped talking. Meanwhile, Hu Xiaofan put his hands down by his side and did not dare to say a word again.
Yun Yang actually had great expectations of Hu Xiaofan. Not only was this disciple not bad in nature, but he could even be said to be very kind and honest. However, his life experience was quite different from that of other disciples.
Before he joined the Residence of Nine Supremes, he forged a chance to live with forbearance and blood, and hence, the brutality in his personality had always been the strongest among all disciples. Even adults with rich experience were hard to compare with him.
If he had
It was because Yun Yang knew this that he often scolded Hu Xiaofan harshly, his intention being to polish this disciple.
However, this boy’s nature was very good indeed. He had just left dejectedly, but as soon as he returned to his fellow brothers and sisters, he was high-spirited again and kept on bragging. Yun Yang did not know whether he should laugh or weep about this.
‘Don’t you think you should at least put on a dejected face since I’ve just reprimanded you?’
"Keep going!"
Hu Xiaofan had fought aggressively and killed all those disciples of Illusory Sword Sect, but he did not get much spoils from them. The only valuable thing was just a storage ring, while other odds and ends could not even enter the eyes of the people with super wealth like Yun Yang.
Yun Yang simply glanced at the spoils and then told s.h.i.+ Wuchen to put them all away. However, he did not forget to say, "When we return to the sect, give Hu Xiaofan ten percent as a reward."
Hu Xiaofan exclaimed in delight and did a somersault on the spot while the other disciples were full of envy and jealousy. Although the spoils this time were nothing to Yun Yang and others, they were still very valuable to these disciples. Therefore, even ten percent was worth a lot. They were all envious of Hu Xiaofan, but at the same time, they also blamed themselves for not rus.h.i.+ng out just now.
With the road ahead cleared, Yun Yang and his group were on the move again.
During the rest of the trip, they pa.s.sed through the areas controlled by four different sects. Perhaps it was a coincidence, or perhaps people felt and thought alike on this matter, they were stopped and challenged by the disciples of two different sects. In any case, the process of finis.h.i.+ng them was faster than the first time. All disciples fought bravely to be the first to get rid of the enemies. Sun Mingxiu resolved the first group and then Bai Yexing finished the second group. Both battles were cleanly fought out in a matter of minutes.
As the eldest senior sister, Yun Xiuxin volunteered several times, but she never got the chance to fight. As a result, she was always unhappy on the road, until a group of ignorant bandits rushed at them and she slaughtered them all without even uttering a single word.
They did not encounter any obstacles for a long time afterward until they were not far from the destination. At that time, a group of about two hundred experts charged at them, shouting arrogantly that they would plunder and rape the female disciples of Residence of Nine Supremes. With a wave of Yun Yang’s hand, the top ten disciples joined forces and killed all those ignorant fellows.
Along the way, s.h.i.+ Wuchen was filled with emotions. "I have never felt so happy while roaming the martial world."
His words made everyone smile. Although his tone was a little helpless, what he said was indeed the truth. When they were roaming the martial world in the past, wherever they went, the disciples of the local sects would always come to fight them whenever they got the news, using the excuse of learning from each other.
The opponents of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten all had their elders taking care of them from the side, so they would not have to worry about any life-threatening danger, and could fight to their heart’s content.
However, the Demiurge-Flawed Ten did not receive such treatment.
In order to avoid being killed, they must try their best to fight, but at the same time, they had to restrict their strength so as to not kill their opponents. Once they killed their opponents, the elders watching from the side would definitely kill them. Besides, even if they managed to escape, they would still be hunted down by these sects later. They might not die in the end, but their families and friends would inevitably suffer together with them.
When this happened more often and over a long period of time, their situation became miserable, and simply unbearable to look back on.
But this time, those disciples of the sects who were once high above and looking down on others all died tragically in the hands of their disciples. Although s.h.i.+ Wuchen and others did not take part in the fighting in person, they felt an even greater pleasure and enjoyment!
What goes around comes around!
After all the fighting was done, Ren Qingkuang smiled faintly and said, "By the time we get back, the slaughtered sects might be looking for us and giving us trouble."
"Giving us trouble? If they dare to come to us, we will take them all. Previously, I was embarra.s.sed to compete with the disciples because I wanted to maintain my demeanor as a master, and my hands are itchy for some action now!" Luo Dajiang said with a smile, looking very conceited and das.h.i.+ng.
Jiang Luoluo looked him straight in the eye and said, "Dajiang, that’s a very manly statement!"
The crowd burst out laughing as they stared dubiously at someone.
Luo Dajiang flushed at once, and he hurriedly pointed to the front and said, "Mount Penta-Tier is ahead!"
