Super War God in the City
Chapter 744 - 744: Storm is Coming!

"Hmm?" Ling Fan furrowed his brows and looked towards the door.

In an instant, a man and a woman entered side by side, both with a cold expression on their faces.

"Sister Lan, why have you come?" Zihan frowned as she stood up, speaking indifferently.

Her demeanor did not seem welcoming towards the two who entered, radiating a sense of distance.

"Cousin, what has gotten into you? How could you offend Young Master Ruan? Do you realize the consequences?" The woman, dressed stylishly in a black dress, could not help but harshly question Zihan as soon as she spoke.

"Zihan, our Wushen Lineage has always been isolated and surrounded by wolves. Now that you rashly offended Ruan Yulong, if Di Jiang Peak remains indifferent, we are in danger!" The man also spoke out.

"Cousin, hurry and pack up, follow me to Di Jiang Peak to apologize to Young Master Ruan, and I'll try to smooth things over with your brother-in-law. There is still a chance to turn things around!" the woman said anxiously.

These two were Zihan's cousins, the daughter of her aunt, Lan Xingyuan, who had a sister, Lan Aoyun.

Years ago, in the conflict with the Eight Major Sects, Lan Aoyun had died in battle after taking a blow meant for Lan Xingyuan, leaving behind her daughter, Shen Ying.

This mother and daughter harbored resentment about the past events, always feeling that Lan Xingyuan's family owed them, and they wanted to interfere in many matters within the Witchcraft Sect.

Lan Xingyuan felt a sense of debt and generally turned a blind eye to minor issues.

Zihan was very indifferent towards her aunt's family, feeling as if she could never repay the perceived debt of gratitude she owed, with her aunt often treating her imperiously.

Thus, she had developed a character that was not easily inclined to ask for help.

"Sister Lan, I know what I'm doing with my own affairs. You don't need to worry about me!" Zihan spoke lightly.

Shen Ying's face turned pale with anger, pointing at Zihan as she scolded, "Cousin, what kind of talk is that?

As the Saintess of the Witchcraft Sect, every action you take affects the entire Wushen Lineage. Do you think you are an ordinary commoner's child, free to act recklessly?"

"Zihan, your sister is right. Your recklessness wouldn't matter if it were just you, but it affects our entire Wushen Lineage.

The struggles with the Eight Major Sects back then cost us dearly, and if your mother hadn't been injured, she wouldn't have died in childbirth!

You can't afford to act rashly now; otherwise, those ancestors who paid with their lives will not rest in peace.

Think about it, not only were we unable to withstand the Eight Major Sects, but even the Witchcraft Sect itself is falling apart, with the main lineage taken over by others. How will you face those who have passed on?" Wei Yuanjie tried to persuade Zihan earnestly from a moral standpoint.

Zihan took a deep breath. She understood this logic well, otherwise, she wouldn't have tolerated Ruan Yulong all these years without saying anything!

But today, she had met Ling Fan, who had given her hope.

So, she no longer wanted to endure, to play along superficially, wearing a mask to face everything she didn't like.

"Sister Lan, I am aware of my own affairs. Don't worry about me; I won't drag you all into this. Even if something happens, I will take responsibility for it myself!" Zihan's tone was chilling as she spoke softly.

Over the years, the identity of the Saintess had felt like shackles, restraining and imprisoning her both physically and mentally.

In everything she did, she had to consider others, think about the greater good, and no one ever cared about her own desires and feelings.

Whenever she expressed her own ideas, she was accused of being willful and unreasonable.

This is the evil of human nature, where everyone considers only their own gains and losses. Her feelings were a joke, as if she had no right to even talk about them, only to be severely bound to the ethical cross.

"What? You will take responsibility yourself? Are you mad? The fortunes of tens of thousands in the Wushen Lineage could plummet into the abyss because of your whim. How can you bear that, what do you have to bear it with?" Shen Ying stared at Zihan as if looking at a madman, shouting incredulously.

Shen Ying looked at her cousin in front of her, nearly driven mad.

Wei Yuanjie also wore a look of disbelief, wondering what had bewitched Zihan.

Lan Zihan pursed her lips, her face an iron blue, her chest heaving. When one always considers others and endures hardships, it eventually becomes taken for granted.

"Slap!"

A loud shock resounded through the hall, startling Shen Ying and her husband into alertness.

They instinctively turned their heads to see that it was the white-haired youth who had been sitting on the side and had suddenly stood up, slamming the table.

"What sort of things do you two think you are, daring to disrespect Sister Lan like that? Apologize immediately!" Feng Xiaobai rebuked them furiously.

Shen Ying and Wei Yuanjie were a bit dumbfounded by the scolding. Before they came, they had heard that Lan Zihan had brought back two Guest Official Protectors. Even Ruan Yulong had been offended because of this. Could it be these two they were looking at now?

When the two had entered the door, although they had glanced at Ling Fan and another, it was but a fleeting look.

In their eyes, the two people brought back by Lan Zihan were so ordinary that they did not even deserve a proper look.

And now, this brat who hadn't even grown all his hair was daring to order them around and shouting at them?

"Cousin, you haven't gone mad, have you? Where did you find this joke of a child? Is he here for a laugh?" Shen Ying stared at Lan Zihan in disbelief.

"I just heard that you accepted two Guest Official Protectors and offended Young Master Ruan because of it. It can't possibly be these two young lads!" Wei Yuanjie pointed at Feng Xiaobai and Ling Fan, incredulously.

"Xiaobai, say less, don't stoop to their level!" Lan Zihan quietly soothed Feng Xiaobai.

"Cousin, please speak with some respect. These two are my friends. If you have nothing else, please feel free to leave. I'm busy here!" Lan Zihan dismissed them coldly.

Shen Ying gritted her teeth, glanced at the trio of Lan Zihan, and laughed angrily, "Very well, Lan Zihan, just you wait!

I will inform the other lineages about this matter, and then I'll see how you explain yourself to the Sect Hierarch and the other Peak Masters. Yuanjie, let's go!"

Wei Yuanjie took a deep breath, originally wanting to reprimand Ling Fan and the other, but he shook his head slightly at this sight and, glancing at Lan Zihan, sighed deeply with disappointment.

"Kid, you've meddled in murky waters, and it's no longer up to you two. Just wait until you're buried in Witchcraft Sect!" Wei Yuanjie warned coldly, and stormed off.

Lan Zihan watched her cousins leave, and apologized to Ling Fan, "I'm truly sorry. You should rest early. The matters of Witchcraft Sect are indeed complicated, and it's embarrassing to have you see this. I'll see if I can meet with my father!"

"Hmm, I understand, don't worry. What I promised you, I will definitely accomplish!" Ling Fan assured her.

"Sister Lan, you go ahead with your matters!" Feng Xiaobai said sensibly.

Lan Zihan was also worried. Today's incident had stirred up a lot of noise and would probably spread across the Witch Mountain Twelve Peaks soon.

It would inevitably provoke a great uproar, possibly even unpredictable unrest.

Therefore, she urgently needed to see her father and discuss the situation beforehand.

She nodded to Ling Fan and hurriedly left.

At the foot of Zhu Rong Peak, Tian He came specially under his father's orders.

"Victors become kings, losers are outcasts. The situation in Witchcraft Sect might just be determined tonight!" Tian He said, his gaze slightly shimmering as he walked towards the peak.

PS: Starfire wishes to make the following plot developments exciting, so ended up digging a pit for himself.

Recently, I've been pulling out a lot of hair trying to connect the storyline of Hundred Thousand Great Mountains with the external world, and there are some logical issues to resolve!

After pondering all afternoon and all night, it should be sorted out now. I tried my best to write the feel I wanted, the feel that everyone likes.

I'll try to revive the plot tomorrow if this segment goes smoothly, and also thanks to the fans like 'Hmm', 'Nightmare', '178....3059', 'Sword Saint', and others for their encouragement!
