As Ye You expected, things didn’t go that smoothly.

Although the Sect Master thought it was good, when those old men in the sect heard his thoughts, they all got a fright, shaking their heads as intensely as rattle-drums, encircling him in a blink.

Ye You watched as they dragged the Sect Master out before continuing to sit and drink tea. The Deputy Sect Master conversely remained behind to see to the guests, carrying an appropriate smile on his face and beginning a conversation with Wenren Heng.

Wenren Heng said gently, “We need to decide matters quickly. Before we left, we said that we were returning to the mountain, and now Manor Lord Wei and them have definitely already managed to learn this from questioning the common people.”

The Deputy Sect Master’s expression changed slightly.

Wenren Heng said, “But there’s a mountain stronghold near the small county town, so they most likely would go there first. If they want to find Shuiyun Mountain, they’d need to expend some effort, but that’s still something that’ll happen sooner or later. If your Sect Master can’t provide any help, then we need to leave right now, and when they come looking for us, all of you can say whatever you want.”

The Deputy Sect Master couldn’t sit still. After hastily conversing for another sentence or two, he then rushed outside to tell the Sect Master this information.

Ye You was still holding the teacup but wasn’t actually drinking and was instead listening to the movements outside.

With his hearing ability, he was faintly able to hear the conversation on that side.

At first, those old men wanted to go to the study, but the Sect Master said that good people needed to be open and candid and that it was already wrong to talk behind his brother’s back, so if they had something to say, they should say it here. Those old men couldn’t move him and could only agree before they began trying to talk sense into him.

Although the voices were disjointed, even if Ye You was simply guessing, he would be able to guess the thoughts of those old men — now that the monster wasn’t dead, and with no final judgment yet on whether Manor Lord Wei was truly a problem, isn’t the Sect Master clearly just seeking death by opposing those two people at a time like this? The former would definitely be able to massacre their entire sect, and as for the latter… what kind of position does Fengxian Manor have within Jianghu? Their Suiyun Sect wasn’t even enough for the other party to pick their teeth with!

Ye You drank a sip of tea and heard those old men say, “In short, we can’t do this.”

The Sect Master’s voice suddenly raised in volume, and he said angrily, “A real man’s word is worth its weight in gold! How can I go back on my word!”

“Then does the Sect Master want to drag us all into dying together? What’s more, this sect was established by the Elder Sect Master, and you’re talking about blowing it up! If the Elder Sect Master is able to hear this from the heavens, how heartbroken would he be!”

The Sect Master said, “What do you mean by dying together? You guys don’t know how to run? Anyway, I’m blowing up only one building.”

“But what if you’re not able to kill them? The ones who’ll die would be us. No, that’s not right, regardless of whether they’ll die from being blown up, we’re still out of luck no matter what. How would Fengxian Manor ever let us go?”

The Sect Master said, “That surnamed Wei is such a good-for-nothing, so aren’t I just getting rid of evil for the sake of Jianghu? Before, whenever I said that I wanted to change the sect’s name, all of you kept saying that I never made any contributions and didn’t listen to me. Aren’t I preparing to do something big right now!”

The scene turned deathly still for an instant before those old men immediately said in unison, “So, in the end, we had this entire conversation all because you actually wanted to change the name?”

The Sect Master said, “That… that was also one of the reasons.”

“Ah, Sect Master, it was the Elder Sect Master who chose this name, so why do you keep wanting to change it? Have you seen any other sects changing their names whenever they pleased?”

The Sect Master said, “Shuiyun Sect, Shuiyun Sect, can all of you say in your heart of hearts that this sounds good? Those who know nothing about us all believe that our sect is full of women and scholars! I’m a man in the prime of my life, and all of you want me to go outside and say that I’m the Sect Master of Shuiyun Sect? Do you want to embarrass me to death?”

“…Then didn’t we agree that you could change one character?”

The Sect Master said, “Suiyun Sect also doesn’t sound good! Suigu Sect does!”

“That really doesn’t sound good.”

The Sect Master said, “What do you mean ‘it doesn’t sound good’! It has such bold flavor!”

“…”

Ye You wasn’t able to hear what followed after too clearly, so he laughed and gave his Senior Brother a somewhat astonished look.

Wenren Heng said, “What?”

Ye You said, “I’m a bit curious about how you became friends with him.”

“We met on accident one time,” Wenren Heng said, “He knew that I had established a sect myself and that it wasn’t inherited from my family, so he said that he had great respect for me and insisted on having a drink together. I saw that he was quite interesting and so we ended up chatting for a while.”

Ye You nodded. At this time, the door was pushed open, and the Sect Master returned with a face full of unhappiness, going to pour out a cup of tea with a stifled head.

Wenren Heng said, “They didn’t agree?”

The Sect Master said, “They said they needed to go back and think. Who do they think they are! Such a majestic Sect Master as me can’t even make the decisions around here!”

The moment he heard this, Wenren Heng knew that those old men wanted to drag this matter out. After all, he and his Junior Brother couldn’t wait.

He said, extremely considerately, “They also have their own considerations. What’s more, they’re all elders, so they’re definitely doing it for your own good. Actually, if it’s really not possible, then we can just forget it. Since we’re brothers, I can’t let you start fighting with them on my account.”

The Sect Master said, “No, I’ve already agreed to help.”

Wenren Heng said, “But this matter is urgent, and they still haven’t agreed. I mean, you can’t just drug them all into unconsciousness before simply going through with it and then telling them only after it was all over, right?”

The Sect Master startled and then both his eyes lit up. “That’s right! Wait for me, you two!”

Right as he finished speaking, he whooshed to his feet, turned around, and ran away.

Having seen something incomparably good, Ye You couldn’t help but look at his Senior Brother.

Wenren Heng was especially calm, looking for all the world as if he wasn’t the one who had purposely given his brother such a rotten idea.

Perhaps it was that those old men had never imagined that their own forthright Sect Master could drug them, or perhaps it was that this was the Sect Master’s first time doing this sort of thing so he had done it much more cautiously, but in the end, the Sect Master succeeded without incident. Afterwards, staring at the Sect Master howling in laughter and the roomful of elders in a complete mess on the floor, the Deputy Sect Master and a group of sect members were all practically struck dumb.

Seeing that matters had finally been settled, Wenren Heng came out to provide a few suggestions, advising the Sect Master to send all these people away, so as to avoid any mishap.

The Sect Master felt that this made sense and so instructed his subordinates to lift the people away.

The Deputy Sect Master was a complete mess, internally wondering how many terrible deeds he had performed in his last life in order to have met such a Sect Master in this one. While he had heard about other masters also causing much torment — for instance Xie Junming — he still felt that their Sect Master was still a bit more demented in comparison.

When he passed by, Wenren Heng said in a low voice, “Don’t worry, I won’t harm him.”

The Deputy Sect Master coldly snorted, “If only.”

Although dissatisfied, the Deputy Sect Master still obeyed his Sect Master’s instructions and began to organize all the sect members’ retreat.

First, he more or less believed in Wenren Heng’s character. Second, right now, there wasn’t any time to waste, so he needed to use the time wisely. Third, the fact that “Manor Lord Wei had left with the monster” was the truth, so regardless of whether Manor Lord Wei was truly a problem, they now had Shuangji Sect and the Demonic Sect on their side, as well as a Wuwang Temple which had good relations with the Demonic Sect, so even if Fengxian Manor wanted to cause trouble for them, those people would still have to weigh whether it’d be worth the consequences.

In the time they were withdrawing, Wenren Heng took the opportunity to look at the layout of Suiyun Sect with his Junior Brother.

The Sect Master said, “There’s no need to look. I’ve already thought it through. Let’s go, let’s go, I’ll take you two to see my gunpowder room.”

Wenren Heng and Ye You’s interests were piqued. Upon following him into a stone room, they saw that the room contained quite a bit of gunpowder, along with even a row of contraptions. Wenren Heng’s heart skipped a beat. “These contraptions…”

“Oh, I bought those a short while ago,” the Sect Master said. He told them that he had bought these originally in order to combine the contraptions and the gunpowder together as a test, but since he had just gotten them recently, he had dismantled only a portion, and he hadn’t yet gotten around to dismantling the rest.

He sighed. “If you two had come a few days later, I might’ve been able to show you the final product then, and then we’d be just in time to use them. Ah, how unfortunate.”

It truly wasn’t the least bit unfortunate.

The two thought in their hearts.

Ye You looked at him. “Many thanks for the help this time. If the Sect Master meets with trouble some other day, then you can certainly come find me.”

The Sect Master was very straightforward, “No need. Since you’re Sect Master Wenren’s Junior Brother, then you’re also my…”

He unconsciously wanted to say, “my Junior Brother,” but in the blink of an eye, he remembered that this was the Demonic Sect’s Sect Master and, in the end, didn’t dare to act that rudely, changing his words on the spot to, “You’re also my friend. Friends should naturally help each other out!”

Ye You laughed and said, “Then may I trouble the Sect Master to call over two people to move out these contraptions as well.”

The Sect Master didn’t understand. “What do you want to do with the contraptions? Didn’t you want the gunpowder?”

“I want both the contraptions and the gunpowder,” Ye You said, all smiles, “I’m going to leave a few gifts for Lady Xiao-Rou.”

The Sect Master still didn’t understand, but he still called over a few people, and after giving those people a word of instruction, he then brought the two over to the room he had previously decided on.

This was a small wooden building, framed by the mountain, very suited to being buried by explosives. And a few explosives could also be placed on the upper body of the mountain, perhaps even allowing some large stones to be blown up in order to cause a rock slide. The Sect Master said, “Right now, the most important question is how to lure them over here.”

Ye You smiled and said, “That’s easy, just leave it to me.”

The Sect Master was very curious. Immediately following, he saw the other knock Wei Jiangrou unconscious before lifting her into the room and tying her to a chair, placing her dead-center in the room.

Ye You said, “Carry all the furniture away and bring the contraptions inside.”

With a wave of the Sect Master’s hand, the sect members entered in a single file, cleanly and neatly burying the gunpowder, moving the furniture, and carrying in the contraptions.

Ye You waited for them to finish before indicating for them to leave. He met his Senior Brother’s gaze and, with tacit understanding, began to mess around with those contraptions. Many had already been opened, and the two neatly laid out the ones that could still be used, while carelessly putting back together the unusable ones, likewise leaving them in the room. They also used several strands of thread, twining and twisting, making everything look extremely complex.

“…” The Sect Master slowly began to be able to guess what they had decided and was immediately startled. After silently watching for a while, he followed them outside with light steps. Having arrived midway through, the Deputy Sect Master was also very speechless when he saw this, and shooting them a look, he said hesitantly, “This is…”

Ye You said, “Think we’re being too vicious?”

The Deputy Sect Master fell silent.

Ye You said, “Don’t worry, it’s impossible for her to die.”

The Deputy Sect Master asked, “Why?”

Ye You said, “Because there’s people who won’t let her die. The people coming are experts and will definitely protect her. Ah, I really hope that a few of them will die when the time comes.”

This voice was mixed with a sliver of sharp killing intent.

Upon seeing that his eyes were narrowed, carrying both expectation and interest in those pupils, lending a somewhat evil air to his entire person, the Deputy Sect Master shut up at once.

Ye You said, “All of you should leave. I’ll stay behind.”

The Sect Master said, “That won’t do. We’ll stay with you.”

Ye You said, “No need. It’s only lighting a fire, so just me alone will be enough. Or else when that monster comes and sees all of you here, he’ll definitely kill all of you in passing.”

The Sect Master couldn’t help but look inquiringly at Wenren Heng.

Wenren Heng looked at his Junior Brother and was the first one to turn around and leave. The Sect Master then no longer continued insisting and led his sect members to withdraw through the back of Shuiyun Mountain. After finishing these arrangements, he saw that Wenren Heng wanted to turn back and hastily followed after.

The Sect Master asked, “Going to support Sect Master Ye?”

Wenren Heng said, “No, I’m going to add a few slices.”

The Sect Master said, “…Huh?”

Wenren Heng laughed and said, “What are you thinking?”

It was also only when he finished asking that the Sect Master became aware that the other was probably referring to adding slices to Manor Lord Wei and them, and he straightened out his thoughts before continuing to follow. Wenren Heng was well acquainted with the other’s temperament and didn’t try any persuasion, simply taking this person along to hurry quickly towards the place that his Junior Brother had set with them and then silently going into hiding.

At this time, Manor Lord Wei and the others just so happened to have found this place.

Ye You’s eyes swept by their figures from afar, and he smiled slightly before throwing a piece of already-lit awakening incense into Wei Jiangrou’s room. Then he quickly turned on the contraptions before leaping out through the back window.

It took a bit of time for Wei Jiangrou to begin slowly waking up.

She was first blank for a moment before then immediately becoming aware of her own situation. She saw that there were even five different contraptions all currently pointed at her, the arrows all slowly rising to take aim at her as the air resounded with sinister clicks, as if they’d be able to pierce her full of holes in the next moment.

Her face instantly turned deathly pale, and she shouted, “What are all of you doing? Quickly let me go! Where are you, Brother Heng? Save me, I don’t want to die! Save me—-! Ah, save me—-!”

Manor Lord Wei actually wasn’t certain that his daughter had been taken here, and he had originally come simply with the thought of trying it out at least, but when he discovered with a single look that the entire sect was devoid of people, he immediately knew that he had likely found the right place.

But was it them? They probably wouldn’t take Xiao-Rou and run, right?

The elderly man suddenly said, “There are shouts.”

Manor Lord Wei’s expression changed slightly, and right when he was about to ask where it was, he saw the other rush towards a certain direction and thereupon hastily followed after, very quickly arriving at the wooden building. Listening to Xiao-Rou’s cries, he felt a sliver of wrongness flash through his heart extremely quickly.

The Alliance Leader said, “Could it be a trap?”

Manor Lord Wei furrowed his brows. “Yes, let’s be a bit more careful. The people here have all left, so it’s clear that…”

He had spoken only halfway when he saw his daughter’s situation, and his pupils abruptly contracted.

Wei Jiangrou’s face had long already turned blotchy with tears, and at this time, upon seeing him, she shouted out between sobs, “Dad, save me! Hurry and save me!”

The elderly man’s expression turned cold, and he was the first to rush in, but looking at the contraptions, he didn’t dare to move for the time being.

Manor Lord Wei and the Alliance Leader had no other choice and so also entered.

The uneasy wrongness within Manor Lord Wei’s heart grew even stronger. This kind of setup really seemed like it was arrogantly telling them, That’s right, things aren’t quite right, and it’s very likely that there’s a trap, but do all of you dare not to come in? These contraptions will start up simultaneously, since if just one moves, it’s very possible that the others will also become involved, so a few people will need to take them apart together. Thus, if all of you want to save this person, don’t even think of leaving a single person outside to stand guard.

In his heart, Manor Lord Wei thought, This was completely forcing all of them into the room.

His crisis awareness had risen to its peak, and he said, “Hurry and take them apart and let’s go immediately!”

The three people hastily assessed those complex hanging threads, and when they finally realized that these were simply hanging there for fun, they started noticing a certain other scent mixed in with the original sweet smell of the air. The Alliance Leader said, “This is…”

Manor Lord Wei’s expression changed as he said, “It’s gunpowder!”

In the instant that those words were spoken, they all heard an earth-shattering, explosive bang, practically causing both the earth and the mountains to shake.

The wooden building instantly fell into disarray. Immediately following, there came a second explosion from the top of the mountain, and broken rocks began rolling downhill, bringing with them clouds of dust, burying the house with a rumble.

Ye You was standing above, looking down at this scene from up high, feeling the blood boiling throughout his entire body, his fingers even shaking uncontrollably in joy. He jumped down a few steps and quickly heard the sound of a thump; those broken rocks had been struck open by internal energy.

The elderly man rushed out from within, carrying Wei Jiangrou.

His entire body was covered in dirt, and an arrow was stuck into his back, with blood currently seeping out without end. And behind him a few steps was Manor Lord Wei, whose entire body was full of injuries, staggering outside before pausing for a moment and then turning back.

Ye You landed on a rooftop in front of them and clapped his hands, all smiles, saying in praise, “These elders truly have such magnanimous hearts. Even in such a desperate situation, you can throw aside your own safety in order to rescue the beauty. This young one is truly full of admiration.”

The elderly man was extremely furious, and putting aside Wei Jiangrou, he rushed up onto the rooftop.

Ye You dodged his attack and raised a hand to strike. In the blink of an eye, the two had begun fighting.

Just now, for the sake of protecting someone, the elderly man had wasted some internal energy, and his back was also injured, so he was in rare difficulty, but he considered all this to be negligible, and he originally thought that he could easily take care of this brat. However, he quickly realized his error, and that this brat was absolutely not incapable.

He asked, “Brat, what martial arts do you practice?”

Ye You said, “If you kneel and kowtow to me ninety-six times, I could reluctantly tell you.”

The elderly man angrily said, “You’re seeking death!”

By the time Wenren Heng and the Sect Master had rushed over after hearing the sound of explosions, the two had already fought into extremely close quarters. Wenren Heng glanced at the ruins and, upon seeing Manor Lord Wei supporting the Alliance Leader out, immediately went over.

At this moment, although Manor Lord Wei’s situation couldn’t be considered good, his vigilance was still there, and he perceived the other party in practically the same instant that they arrived. At once, he let go of the Alliance Leader to receive the other and, with a complicated look, said, “Xiao-Heng, so it turned out to be you.”

Wenren Heng said, “It’s me.”

He didn’t mince words, and with his next move, he attacked.

Manor Lord Wei promptly restrained his thoughts in order to deal with this.

He was one of the two great experts of Jianghu, so there was no need to speak of his martial arts, but what was unfortunate now was his injuries. Though he wouldn’t have fallen into a disadvantageous position if he was fighting someone else, the person he was facing was, of all people, Wenren Heng. This person’s natural talent was high, and that strength was nothing to look down upon, completely not like those other people even ordinarily, and so the end result of this fight was hard to predict.

He said, “Xiao-Heng, what happened to your Master really wasn’t like what you think it was.”

Wenren Heng said, “Then what exactly was it?”

Manor Lord Wei said, “I’ll tell you about it in the future. First let us go.”

Wenren Heng said, “I can’t do that.”

“This child…” Although his heart was furious, Manor Lord Wei still carried a complicated expression on his face, while his moves were still completely unrelenting.

Wenren Heng wasn’t the least bit surprised at this, and he countered every move, not letting up even a step.

The Sect Master looked at Sect Master Ye and then looked at Wenren Heng and finally turned his gaze towards the Alliance Leader. This person was injured even more heavily than Manor Lord Wei and had even lost an arm, blood flowing out in waves, dripping all over the ground.

He considered for a moment before rushing over, preparing to grab this person.

The Alliance Leader still had his consciousness and hastily dodged aside.

At this time, he and Wei Jiangrou were both near the ruins, and he ran right in the direction of Wei Jiangrou.

The Alliance Leader chased after, pulling out his sword in preparation to swing it at the other’s neck, but then he keenly discovered that there seemed to be some urgency over at Manor Lord Wei’s side, which luckily led to Wenren Heng seizing the opportunity to strike. He then silently took a moment to react before immediately understanding the reason and then changing his target to attack Wei Jiangrou.

Wei Jiangrou wasn’t at all injured, and in fear, she cried out in alarm before turning around to run.

There was no cover nearby, and the two were especially close, so Wei Jiangrou was frightened to no end, her cries becoming even more ferocious, and she instinctively ran towards the only place she could hide in the surroundings — she ran behind the Alliance Leader’s back, wanting to hide at all costs.

The Alliance Leader’s body swayed, already at its limit. The Sect Master naturally didn’t fear him and once again rushed forward. Seeing him coming closer and closer, Wei Jiangrou couldn’t contain her fear and, with a shriek, pushed out the person in front of her. The latter was caught off guard, and the only thing he felt was a coldness in his chest, as the sword had pierced right through it.

In this instant, not to mention the Alliance Leader and Wei Jiangrou, even the Sect Master himself startled.

He unconsciously loosened his grip and stared foolishly at the Alliance Leader.

The Alliance Leader spat out a mouthful of blood and turned his head back extremely slowly. With his blood-red eyes wide open, he forced out a few words through clenched teeth, “Wei… Jiang… Rou… You…” Before he could even finish speaking, he fell backwards, smashing into the ground, taking his last breath.

Previously, when he saw his daughter in trouble, Manor Lord Wei had done his utmost, regardless of the cost to his injury, to force Wenren Heng to retreat and then quickly hurried over to that side. Who knew that immediately following he’d see this scene, and his footsteps immediately stopped.

Having grown worried to no end from Wei Jiangrou’s cries, the elderly man had stolen over a look in distraction, just so happening to see this entire sequence of events, and he also slightly paused.

But then in a confrontation between experts, even the slightest distraction was disastrous. Before he could even adjust back, he saw this brat’s attack land out of the corner of his eyes. That internal energy was boundless, like a great wave covering the sky, and he was immediately sent flying.

At this time, Manor Lord Wei had just regained his senses when, right afterwards, he saw the elderly man smashing into the ground, and his expression immediately changed, lifting his head to look in disbelief. Wenren Heng and the Sect Master also looked at Ye You, and the latter’s heart trembled, internally thinking that, This was that monster! That monster who struck terror into people’s hearts with just a word! Was Sect Master Ye human?

Ye You jumped down and, within this all-encompassing silence, he lifted the corners of his mouth into a smile. “So the Lantern-Extinguishing Skill is only at this level.”

The elderly man flipped over and jumped up in one move, returning once again to fight him without another word.

Wenren Heng and the Sect Master then acted together, moving against Manor Lord Wei and Wei Jiangrou. Right when they were about to seize these two people, they saw a few black shadows flash by, with one of them stopping this attack.

The Sect Master said, “Who are they?”

“Their people,” Wenren Heng said, needing only an instant to guess the entire course of events.

The four of them were most likely heading towards Huayang City because they had left Wanping Weir too quickly and so there was no one they could use by their side for the time being. Thus, they had wanted to hurry over to reconvene with their own people. And now these people clearly must have received this news through a certain channel and hurried over immediately in order to get here so quickly.

The Sect Master said, “If I’d known, I wouldn’t have sent my people away!”

Wenren Heng said, “They should’ve left regardless.”

The Sect Master wanted to ask why, but before he could get the words out, he ended up encountering a black-clothed man and, upon discovering that these people’s skills were very high, immediately understood.

Even beating a drowning dog wasn’t something that anyone could do, so those sect members of his not only wouldn’t do but also, if they really came, many of them would definitely die. So it turned out that major sects really were major sects; their confidence was truly on a different level!

Manor Lord Wei saw that his subordinates had come and immediately let out a sigh in relief. He handed Wei Jiangrou over to them and directed a portion of them to attack Wenren Heng and another portion to collect the Alliance Leader’s corpse.

Upon seeing the other this calm and unhurried, Wenren Heng narrowed his eyes.

These black-clothed men’s numbers were limited, but they must have left behind some signs while they were conducting their search for Manor Lord Wei to be this at ease. This group then must be the first wave, and there would be more arriving later.

Not good, they needed to leave.

Wenren Heng made the judgment and pulled the Sect Master to retreat a step.

The elderly man also saw those black-clothed men and so made to move closer to them.

Ye You lifted a brow. “What, want to leave?”

The elderly man’s face cooled. “Brat…”

Ye You didn’t wait for him to finish and said, “Then go.”

As he spoke, he ferociously threw out a strike in order to put some distance between them before his figure then immediately flashed, and in the next move, he rushed towards those black-clothed men. Becoming aware of his intentions, the elderly man shouted out, “Run!”

Those black-clothed men startled and lifted their heads to see this person rushing over.

Ye You flashed over with intensity, reaching out a hand to grab the sword out of the Alliance Leader’s chest and then, in the next move, slashed down a few strikes. Before the other party could even react, he had already cut them down, making straight for Wei Jiangrou, while also cutting down a few more people on the way, practically killing anyone who got in his way, acting as if even gods wouldn’t be spared!

Wenren Heng followed after, wanting to pull the person back.

Conversely, the Sect Master’s entire mind was blank upon seeing this, and even his hand faintly trembled.

Oh heavens, this person was… t-t-too valiant!

Manor Lord Wei had originally wanted to strike back, but his heart sank at this moment, and he made a prompt decision, “Retreat!”

The elderly man was the only calm one within this group of people.

After all, he was also an expert, so he knew how easy it was to handle these people, and he was even more clear that they were no match for this brat.

He quickly blocked Ye You, matching this person’s force with a palm strike, and taking the opportunity when the other was slowed, he suppressed his boiling inborn energy to flash over to the side of Wei Jiangrou, who had already long been scared silly. He lifted her up and then left.

Wenren Heng had just caught up, and his pupils contracted upon seeing this. He hastily held back Ye You, wanting to ask if he had been poisoned by the Lantern-Extinguishing Poison, before then seeing that the corners of the other’s eyes had already turned red. He said, “Ah-You…”

“Don’t stop me!” Ye You pushed him aside, chasing after them in a rush.

The black-clothed men hurriedly split off a portion of people to impede him.

Ye You didn’t bother with them, flashing past them one by one, rigidly staring at the Manor Lord Wei who was lagging behind because of those injuries. Waving the sword, he cut down three black-clothed men who were in his way and then rushed forward carrying a reckless killing intent. “Wei Haide!”

Practically at the same time as his approach, Manor Lord Wei internally thought a, Not good, and turned back to dodge at once. In the next moment, Manor Lord Wei saw the silvery-white sword light ferociously flash downwards, and his body swayed, with fresh blood spraying out. For an instant, he didn’t know what had happened, only hearing Wei Jiangrou shouting by his ear, “Dad!”

The surrounding crowd of people simultaneously sucked in a cold breath.

One of the two great experts of Jianghu, Fengxian Manor’s Manor Lord Wei who could shake both heaven and earth, underneath their collective protection, was able to have his arm so easily cut off by someone!

After Ye You finished this move, he finally couldn’t control his messy inborn energy, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

<hr>

Every time I reread old chapters, I find an embarrassing typo. :T

Also, fun fact! The Wei family seem to be going for river/sea generation names. The characters for Manor Lord Wei’s name (Haide) is 海德, with 海 meaning the sea, while his children both have 江 (jiang) meaning the river. This is probably intentional theme naming which is quite common in Chinese families, haha. (Another fun fact, Haide is actually the Chinese transliteration for the western “Hyde”, so half the time I’m reading Manor Lord Wei’s name as Wei Hyde and getting confused lmao.)\n
