Chapter 1107 - Chapter 1107 Chapter 401 Meddlesome People

Chapter 1107: Chapter 401: Meddlesome People Chapter 1107: Chapter 401: Meddlesome People Martial arts prospered for a thousand years, yet the lives of the common people changed little–they rise with the sun and rest with its setting.

Besides warriors growing ever stronger and noble houses increasingly numerous, there was hardly any change in everyday life, leaving many almost unable to perceive the world’s progress.

All along, relying on the Spirit World Passage to move freely in and out of Chaochang, Xiu’er never thought that the half-spirit realm created by Yun Zu, solidifying the Spirit Realm, could be blocked by an array set by a Grandmaster.

The array designed by the mightiest Saint King of ancient times was actually broken by a Grandmaster of that period, which could mean the current sects had long left the Yun Clan in the dust.

If that truly was the case, even if the Yun Clan poured all their efforts into catching up, what point would there be?

“Let me do it!”

With eyes reddened, Yun Quan clenched a spiritual seal, attempting to summon the gate to the Spirit World Passage, but even her spiritual power, which had undergone a second qualitative transformation, failed to stir any response–as if dropping stones in the ocean.

Disbelieving, Yun Quan formed another spiritual seal, but Xiang Ange did not show any intention to interfere, because he knew, no matter how many times Yun Quan tried, the result would be the same.

The reason he didn’t take action was because Yun Quan had used a method that stimulated her blood essence and burned her divine soul, and the Xiang Family Head had no desire to entangle with someone on the brink of death–after all, the two trapped within the Cold Moon Spirit Concealment Array were like turtles in a jar.

In contrast to the Xiang Family Head’s nonchalance, Duan Longcheng was unable to calm his mind. Had it been anyone else, their soul would have withered and withered instantly from the Blood Fiend expelled by the Asura Divine Heart.

Only he, with his True Spirit merged with the Yellow Dragon Remnant Soul’s Red-eyed Evil Dragon, could resist the Blood Fiend with his soul body, but since the soul was a unity, even the Red-eyed Evil Dragon was not immune to Blood Fiend.

Being injured in the soul by a martial artist as insignificant as an ant was an utterly humiliating affair for a titled powerhouse from Longzhou.

Without a word, Duan Longcheng’s brocade clothes unfurled, and he descended from the sky like a divine eagle, with the wind turning into blades of feathers several feet long, appearing as if he had sprouted wings.

And the Evil Dragon let out a long howl, rolling down and piercing through the dense blood clouds and vigor, directly pouncing on Yun Quan.

…

A deep blue light screen enveloped the Xiang Residence in the dead of night, illuminating the center of the Upper City District as if it were broad daylight.

Commoners ran out onto the streets, watching as the soldiers of the guard assembled in the city center and set up a cordon of warriors around the perimeter of the Xiang Residence, forbidding all commoners from approaching.

But the biggest difference between humans and animals is that human curiosity has no bounds. Even the earnestly drawn cordon by the guards couldn’t stop the group of busybodies from Chaochang from surrounding it.

After all, the noble families of Chaochang weren’t limited to just the Xiang Family. Each of Dragon State’s Seven Great Families had guesthouses in Chaochang, as well as disciples of the Beast Taming Sect and children of local noble families.

These people, like cats smelling fish, emerged from every corner, swarming to the cordon and jostling against the wall of guards, craning their necks towards the Xiang Residence.

The guards from the security bureau, who were regarded as fierce deities by the common folk, lacked the courage to scold these mischief-makers and could only gently persuade them, yet they still found themselves continuously pushed back.

If the courage of a single mischief-maker could be quantified as one, the courage of two mischief-makers together would skyrocket to ten!

Right now, the Upper City District was swarming with such mischief-makers. To stop them, nothing short of the Xiang Family Army from the Four Directions Camp would suffice, since these mere guards from the security bureau didn’t even register in their eyes.

Let alone the fact that these people were just peripheral relatives of the Xiang Family; even if the true direct descendants were here, they wouldn’t panic because they stood on the side of justice.

“Make way at once. The families of Chaochang support each other, and Xiang Loulan and the young masters even call each other brothers. Now that the Xiang Residence has activated the array, they must have encountered some trouble. As brothers of the young master of the Xiang Family, how can we just stand by and do nothing? Hurry and let us pass. If we delay the rescue of the young masters, you will bear a heavy burden of guilt!”

The officer from the South Third Road Security Bureau could only shake his head and offer a wry smile at the serious demeanor of Young Master Nong, whose cultivation was at most at the peak of the Mortal Realm.

But who could blame him? This was Elder Nong’s most beloved youngest son. For the sake of his father, even if the young man’s accusations were outrageous, Xiang Shaoyuan could only respond with a coaxing smile, “The Xiang Residence is full of experts, and activating the array is merely a means to cut off the escape route of the thieves. I appreciate the good intentions of all the young masters.”

“Moreover,” Xiang Shaoyuan said with a wry smile, pointing to a handsome young man sitting in a wheelchair beside him, “this gentleman’s legs are not convenient. If he gets any closer, he might be hurt by the overflow of spiritual power. It would be better for all the young masters to stay right here.”

“What nonsense is this old guy spouting!?” Young Master Nong grumbled discontentedly when he heard Xiang Shaoyuan’s evasion, “All the young masters are martial practitioners with agile feet, how could there be… oh, there really is one whose feet are not agile!”

Seeing the handsome man in the wooden wheelchair, Young Master Nong became furious, “What’s a cripple doing here at such an important time for the Xiang Residence’s rescue mission? Get lost, get lost!”

The young man in the wheelchair maintained an expressionless face, as if he hadn’t heard Young Master Nong’s words at all, his eyes intently gazing at the azure array curtain in the distance as though he could see the situation inside.

The ignored Young Master Nong was enraged and shouted angrily, “Hey, are you deaf!”

The loud scolding drew everyone’s attention, and the ‘cripple’ also turned his head, his brows tightly furrowed and eyes looking as though he were dealing with an annoying visitor.

“Hey!” Young Master Nong, who had never encountered such a gaze before, pulled up his sleeve and asked with a twisted neck, “Pretty arrogant for a cripple, aren’t you? You look unfamiliar, which family’s son are you? Do you know who I am?”

A person’s manner of speaking usually reveals their level of knowledge and personal standards. Even without the ability to see through spiritual power, Tang Luo could tell that this young man before him was surely an unlearned and spoiled rich kid.

Those who place undue importance on their background often lack real abilities because, apart from being born into a good family, they have nothing else to offer.

In the past, Tang Luo would not have given such a person a second glance, silent and shifting his gaze away to continue studying the azure barrier in the distance.

But being ignored a second time, Young Master Nong felt an uncontrollable rage building up, ready to lash out with his sleeves rolled up, only to be held back by a friend beside him.

“What’s the point of picking a fight with a cripple?” a friend whispered to Young Master Nong, who was beside him, “Why are you getting worked up? I know of a hidden waterway that can quietly lead us into the Xiang Residence. Do you dare to join me and sneak in?”

The best way to persuade a young person is through provocation and challenge because young and arrogant youths bow to no one, thinking the world lies beneath their feet. Whatever they set their minds to, they must achieve.
