Chapter 231 A Tough Warning

All the warriors in Gujiang City started panicking within an hour.

At first, they only scoffed at the warning.

In the end, hundreds of beasts and some warriors were decapitated within an hour.

Countless lives were lost, yet they had no idea who was behind such a cruel massacre.

Therefore, they started panicking. “Who was the one that sent out the warning?”

The You family in Gujiang City were thoroughly irritated by the incidents. They had been ruling Gujiang City for more than a decade ever since the transformation of Earth and since then no one ever dared to cause any trouble in their territory.

“Find out who’s causing trouble on our territory!” The householder of the You family, You Yijiang, shouted angrily.

The expressions of all the presbyters in the You family turned ugly as well.

At this time, a disciple of the You family ran inside and said in a panic, “Householder, the young master Zhongjie is involved in an incident.”

After hearing one piece of bad news after another, a terrifying pressure could be sensed around You Yishan. It felt as if the air had stagnated.

You Yishan’s face turned gloomy and his eyes looked fierce and piercing

“What happened to my unfilial son?”

“Young master Zhongjie was injured and captured during a fight,” the disciple said in a trembling voice as he recounted everything he knew.

You Yishan’s face turned darker after hearing it.

You Zhongjie was his youngest yet the most spoiled son. He had a lot of children, so he never liked this useless son of his. However, You Zhongjie was the son of his favorite woman.

Everyone in the family looked down on You Zhongjie, so You Yishan wanted to show his love for this woman by raising the status of You Zhongjie in their family. In that way, at least he would be able to lead a comfortable life in the future.

Therefore, he entrusted him a mission to secure a secret treasure in an auction, yet that mission had failed.

“Such a worthless, useless loser,” You Yishan cursed furiously. “He’s so dumb that he could create a scene in such an easy mission and let the beasts harm others,” he thought.

However, You Zhongjie was still his favorite woman’s and his son, so he could not just let him get into trouble without doing anything.

All the presbyters in the You family shook their heads in disappointment at You Zhongjie.

“Is there anyone willing to bring Zhongjie back?” You Yishan asked.

No one responded. Apparently no one wanted to help such a loser.

You Yishan’s face could not turn any gloomier. Just as he was about to fly into a rage, a grade-eight Grandmaster stood forward and said, “I’ll go!”

You Yishan suppressed his anger and said, “Sorry for the trouble, Presbyter Fei.”

Presbyter Fei nodded and left.

At this moment, another disciple of the You family ran inside.

“Householder, a bunch of warriors have gathered at our gate. They want us to give them an explanation.”

When he heard this, You Yishan could no longer suppress his anger and smashed the mahogany tea table next to him into pieces.

“How dare they try to reason with the You family! Do they want to die?”

“They said that their battle pets were killed by someone in Gujiang City and since Gujiang City is under the You family, it is our responsibility to address this matter,” this disciple said in fear.

“Ask them to get out of here,” You Yishan said angrily.

“Please stay calm, householder. I think they do have a point. Since Gujiang City is indeed our territory, simply chasing them away would make them think that the You family is powerless. Should they spread the word, I’m afraid the reputation of the You family would take a hit.”

“Householder, this person had overstepped his boundaries by decapitating so many beasts and warriors. We should not tolerate such an arrogant person in the territory of the You family.”

“Going on a killing spree in our You family’s territory is an act of outright defiance. We must kill this person.”

“I agree, we must kill him as a warning to everyone. Otherwise no one would treat the You family with respect in the future!”

All the presbyters started sharing their opinions.

You Yishan’s eyebrows furrowed as he fell into deep thought.

“Householder, I say we should not overthink on this matter, we just need to find who this person is and kill him. Not only will we offer a proper explanation to our friends from the Martial Tao world, we can also deter any others from disregarding our authority,” a presbyter said.

You Yishan thought for a while, nodded and then he said:

“Let’s do that then. Send an order to search for this person by using all our manpower and report to me once the person is found.”

“Meanwhile, please follow me to meet our friends from the Martial Tao world together.”

...

You Yishan came to the gate with the other presbyters.

A large crowd had gathered outside the gate of the You family’s residence. There were people everywhere.

“The householder of the You family is here!” Someone shouted.

“Householder You, my Lion was worth millions, yet it was decapitated. You must do something about it!”

“My fine horse was also worth a fortune.”

“Gujiang City is the territory of the You family, so you must take responsibility for the murder of our battle pets.”

Each beast that had been killed was worth a fortune. These beasts were aggressive and sly in nature so it was already difficult to capture them, let alone train them.

Therefore, every battle pet could be worth a fortune as well.

You Yishan’s expression was ugly. These people were scattered around Gujiang City, so it was hard for him to notice them, yet now that they had gathered here, he realized there were so many warriors in Gujiang City.

There were roughly two to three hundred of them and their combined strength would be extremely great.

Besides those who trained independently, most of them were from well-known sects and families. The You family could not afford to offend them in any way.

So You Yishan suppressed the anger in his heart and pressed his palm downward and said, “Everyone, please listen to me.”

His voice was filled with Internal Breath, so it was as loud as an explosion. Everyone’s shouting was overwhelmed by it.

The crowd slowly fell silent.

You Yishan said, “The You family is genuinely honored to see everyone coming to Gujiang City. However, someone was rude and arrogant enough to show complete disrespect in our territory by committing a very disgusting deed. Please be assured that I have ordered my men to search for this person. Once he is found, I will catch him myself and put a proper end to this matter.”

Once You Yishan finished speaking, he saw a disciple of the You family running hurriedly toward him.

“Householder, Presbyter Fei is requesting for help. He is unable to save young master Zhongjie by himself.”

You Yishan and all the other presbyters of the You family were taken aback when they heard this.

“Lead the way,” You Yishan said.

If Presbyter Fei, a grade-eight Grandmaster, could not bring him back, the opponent must be very strong, so You Yishan immediately decided to pay this person a visit himself.

You Yishan, all the presbyters of the You family and all those hundreds of warriors went to the place where the incident took place.

On their way, all the ordinary people hid away from them when they saw them passing by.

...

“Save me, father.”

You Zhongjie started crying once he saw You Yishan.

Everyone shook their heads in disappointment. He was such a loser who enjoyed bullying others with the power of his family. He was indeed a disgrace to the You family.

You Yishan’s expression had grown extremely ugly. He pushed out one palm with great strength.

This palm attack from a Human King had terrifying power.

A gust of wind trailed behind the palm’s path as it attacked the magic formation directly.

However, what happened next was astonishing.

The wind around You Yishan’s palm penetrated the light screen and hit Ruan Yang directly.

“Bang!”

There was no way Ruan Yang could take a palm attack from a Human King with his cultivation at the Acquired Realm. He burst into a blood mist instantly.

Blood splattered over the faces and bodies of the others, including Lu Dao and Qiu Xian.

You Zhongjie looked even more miserable as he started crying and screaming.

You Yishan himself was shocked for a moment.

“Householder, this is a peculiar formation, please do not attack it head-on,” Presbyter Fei said as his right arm dangled lifelessly from his body. Blood was oozing from the corners of his mouth.

When he arrived earlier, he also attacked the formation with a palm attack straightaway. However, the strength in his palm ricocheted back to him, breaking his arm and causing him severe internal injuries.

He wanted to warn You Yishan, but was too late.

You Yishan grew even angrier and stared at Presbyter Fei. “What’s the point in saying it now? Even an idiot could see there’s something wrong with this formation,” he thought.

“Who’s that?” He wanted to know who he just killed.

“He’s from Heavenly Thunder Sect,” Lu Dao answered in fear, because he was right next to Ruan Yang when he was killed.

You Yishan’s expression changed immediately after hearing the words “Heavenly Thunder Sect”; he was greatly irritated by this name.

Heavenly Thunder Sect used to be a small sect until one day they found an ancient relic by chance and came into possession of a handwritten note on how to craft a Heavenly Thunder Bomb. With that, they quickly rose to be a powerful sect that controlled an entire region.

He once witnessed the destructive power of a Heavenly Thunder Bomb with his own eyes. A bomb about the size of a thumb could easily destroy a mountain.

You Yishan felt the beginning of a massive headache.

“Who did this? Come out right now!” He suddenly shouted furiously in a voice comparable to a blast of deafening thunder.

Everyone was glancing around. Would someone really show up?

“Swoosh!”

A purple fist signet suddenly charged toward You Yishan out of thin air.

You Yishan grew slightly mad. With Internal Breath surging inside his body, he raised a hand and unleashed a palm signet that tore the air and charged toward the incoming fist signet.

The two signets clashed in mid-air.

“Boom!”

A horrible explosion almost broke everyone’s eardrums as an invisible storm started spreading everywhere and cut all the gigantic trees in half. Just the sound of it was terrifying enough.

After the clash, everyone looked to the side.

A figure appeared all of a sudden about a hundred meters away from the crowd.

“Who are you?” You Yishan asked.

Everyone just realized that it was this person who initiated the attack.

“Chu Xun.”

The crowd went wild.

A moment later, the crowd was in an uproar as tongues wagged busily.

A little fame goes a long way. There was barely anyone who had no idea who Chu Xun was.

He once killed multiple Human Kings one after another. Such an amazing accomplishment had been spread across the Martial Tao Forum a long time ago.

Chu Xun stepped forward and everyone stepped back subconsciously.

Even You Yishan bristled from head to toe.

Chu Xun was extremely infamous. “Human King Killer”, “Chu the Devil” and “Chu the Cruel” were all the titles that he gained after killing numerous people.

Every time Chu Xun stepped forward, the crowd would take one step back.

The ordinary people on the street were all watching this from afar with curiosity.

“What do you want, Chu Xun?” You Yishan asked fiercely, yet deep inside he was extremely scared.

Chu Xun stopped, looked at him coldly and said, “From today onward, all beasts are not allowed to enter Gujiang City and people from the Martial Tao world are not allowed to harm the ordinary people.”

You Yishan grew furious as he said, “How dare you! Gujiang City is the territory of the You family, you are in no position to make any rules.”

Chu Xun suddenly chuckled and said with a sarcastic look in his eyes, “The entire Huaxia belongs only to our country, since when were the You family given any authority? If you insist on having an explanation, I was born in Gujiang and I am the major general of Huaxia. Do you think I have the authority to make the rules now?”

“Don’t be so arrogant, Chu Xun. You do not want to defame the You family,” You Yishan retorted angrily.

Chu Xun looked at him in disdain, then glanced the crowd.

“Please remember what I just said. If I find another beast in Gujiang City, I will kill it along with its master.”

Everyone was petrified and no one dared to rebut him.

Chu the Devil killed without any hesitation, he could even slaughter Human Kings like a bunch of worms. Who could remain calm before such a powerful figure?

“Also, if I find anyone harming the ordinary citizens, I will kill you for sure.”

Chu Xun’s words sounded flat and calm, yet to every warrior present, they exploded in their ears like heavenly thunder. Everyone started feeling dizzy after hearing his words and some even started bleeding from their ears.

“Chu Xun, you have gone too far,” You Yishan said furiously.

Chu Xun looked directly at You Yishan with a sharp look and said indifferently, “That includes the You family as well. If you guys break my rules, I will make sure I chase you out of Gujiang City for good.”

When the powerful started fighting, it was always the powerless who would suffer.

Seeing dozens of innocent citizens being harmed and killed, Chu Xun was extremely mad and there was a strong intent to kill burning inside him.
