Chapter 1517: Escaping the Yu Clan
Chapter 1517: Escaping the Yu Clan
Xiang Shaoyun did not expect that Yu Jichuan would have such a powerful soul clone as well, but he showed no fear. Instead, he smiled and said, “Looks like a battle between us is truly unavoidable.”
“Naturally,” said Yu Jichuan.
But just as the two were about to start fighting, Yu Bufan and Eunuch Dong of the Di Clan arrived with a group of Gods.
At their arrival, all the Yu Clan members knelt down and greeted, “Greetings, patriarch.”
Yu Bufan was the legitimate patriarch who was also a Rebirth Realm expert. He wielded absolute authority in the clan.
“Huayan, what are you waiting for? Arrest all of them!” commanded Yu Bufan.
Before Yu Huayan could say anything, Yu Jichuan said, “Let me deal with this. This does not concern Huayan.”
Yu Bufan narrowed his eyes and said, “Jichuan, it’s better you don’t get involved in this. We have already accepted the Di Clan’s betrothal gifts. Caidie can only marry Di Mie.”
“Haha, looks like you have truly forgotten the teachings of our ancestors,” said Yu Jichuan as he roared with laughter.
“Yu Jichuan, don’t make a scene. They are obviously provoking us, yet you’re still wasting time talking to them. You’re simply embarrassing our clan,” said Yu Bufan unhappily. He commanded Yu Huayan once again, “Huayan, arrest them.”
After a slight hesitation, Yu Huayan decided to do as told. With Xiang Shaoyun’s pseudo-God combat strength, Xiang Shaoyun might be a match for Yu Huayan, but this was the Yu Clan’s turf. With so many Gods present, how could he be their match?
Devil Concubine, who had remained silent, said, “You really think we’re helpless against you? Lord tree spirit, it’s your turn to make a move.”
An old man appeared beside her. That old man was none other than the celestial darkdevil tree.
“I don’t wish to fight. I’ll only help you escape this place,” said the celestial darkdevil tree. Next, dark energy rippled out and covered Xiang Shaoyun and the rest of the group before flying away.
Everyone was caught by complete surprise, including Yu Bufan and the other Gods. Yu Huayan reacted speedily and sent a palm attack toward the celestial darkdevil tree. A fiery palm shot forth, threatening to burn the entire sky apart.
However, the celestial darkdevil tree was too high-tiered. A regular person would not be able to harm it. In any case, Yu Huayan had acted too slowly. Both Yu Bufan and Eunuch Dong soared into the sky before unleashing a barrage of attacks. Their attacks were much stronger than Yu Huayan’s attack.
“Leave!” said the celestial darkdevil tree as he lightly waved his hand, creating a black hole that swallowed all the incoming attacks.
“What?” Yu Bufan and Eunuch Dong exclaimed in alarm.
At this moment, they even wondered if that old man was also a lord guardian. However, he did not resemble any of the lord guardians they knew about. For a moment, they appeared at a loss.
“Yu patriarch, you have some explaining to do!” demanded Eunuch Dong with his high-pitched voice.
“Eunuch Dong, watch your attitude,” said Yu Bufan with a frown.
As the patriarch of a clan, a mere eunuch from the Di Clan was not qualified to order him around.
Expression changing, Eunuch Dong said, “I was merely anxious. My apologies. However, you do owe the Di Clan an explanation for this.”
“Don’t worry. I will give you an answer you will be satisfied with,” said Yu Bufan with a cold snort. “Huayan, go to the Ziling Sect immediately and bring Yu Caidie back. Kill anyone who dares to get in your way.”
“Patriarch, you saw the strength of that person. With my cultivation, am I even his match?” asked Yu Huayan.
That rendered Yu Bufan speechless.
“You don’t need to take part in this anymore. I’ll have the grand elders handle it. If Xiang Shaoyun remains stubborn, we’ll have the Ziling Sect flattened,” said Yu Bufan, losing his patience.
He then returned to the clan and summoned the grand elders who had remained in seclusion for a long time. If the old man from earlier was really Ge Yi, nobody apart from their ancestor stood a chance to take Yu Caidie back. Nevertheless, they still needed to put up an act that they had tried their best to satisfy the Di Clan.
“Xiang Shaoyun, I, Di Mie, will not stop until you’re dead!” roared Di Mie furiously as he clenched his fists tightly.
Yu Caidie was someone he had to obtain. However, Xiang Shaoyun had stolen her from right under his nose, which was an irreconcilable grudge.
As for Xiang Shaoyun, he did not have the time to care about what Di Mie thought of him. At present, he was busy fleeing with the celestial darkdevil tree. The celestial darkdevil tree finally stopped after sensing that there were no pursuers.
“Lord tree spirit, why didn’t you teach them a lesson?” asked Devil Concubine as she pouted unhappily.
“Hehe, they have a supreme god-grade formation active there. If I attacked, perhaps even I would be killed,” said the celestial darkdevil tree.
“That’s right. The Yu Clan is powerful enough to have such defenses in place. They wouldn’t have remained an ancient influential clan otherwise,” said Xiang Shaoyun with a nod.
“Kid, for my hard work, shouldn’t you offer me some primal chaos energy?” said the celestial darkdevil tree with a look of longing.
Xiang Shaoyun did not hesitate and generated a clump of primal chaos energy with a wave of his hand. The celestial darkdevil tree joyfully opened his mouth and swallowed the clump of energy.
“Alright, lord tree spirit. Can you help remove the seal on Caidie as well?” asked Xiang Shaoyun.
“No problem,” the celestial darkdevil tree agreed readily.
He then held Yu Caidie’s wrist and sent a wave of energy into her body, forcefully breaking the seal placed on her. The moment Yu Caidie regained her cultivation, Saint Realm energy rippled around her, making her look even more enchanting than before.
“Thank you, lord,” said Yu Caidie with a slight bow. She then jumped into Xiang Shaoyun’s arms and planted her lips against his lips, causing the others to look away awkwardly.
As for Devil Concubine, she curled her lips and muttered, “Since the overlord cares for you so much, I’ll let this slide. But in the future, I’ll definitely be the only woman in his heart!”
After a short while, Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie finally separated from each other. With a pleased smile, Xiang Shaoyun said, “Caidie, stick with me from now on. Don’t return to the Yu Clan anymore.”
“Ok. I’ll follow you wherever you go from now on,” said Yu Caidie solemnly.
