"Of course, it wants to torment you!" Wusu sneered, "As a Saintess of the Golden Crow Clan, don't you think you're worth being played with? Hahaha, it's ridiculous how a little girl like you has a higher status than me. I've served the Golden Crow Clan for so many years, yet I've never received such treatment. Why do you, a child, deserve to be superior to me? It's unfair.

Seeing you being abused, seeing you being humiliated by Lord Hu Xiang, I feel so excited. It's wonderful!"

As he said this, Wusu licked his lips greedily. Apparently, he was revealing his true thoughts at the moment.

When his words fell, all the Golden Crow Clan members closed their mouths, as if they had misheard something.

But that was the reality, nothing could be more real than this moment.

Wusu's words, most of the time, were the words of the other Golden Crow Clan members. Yang Chen could see that there were probably more than one person who was dissatisfied with Xiang Yue, they just didn't dare to express it.

How could Xiang Yue, being so smart, not guess this?

She lowered her head in sadness and quietly sobbed.

Seeing this, Yang Chen coldly said, "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any more explanations to ask me for?"

"This..."

In an instant, all the Golden Crow Clan members became embarrassed, and after a while, they finally cried, "His sins are unforgivable! Unforgivable!"

"He deserves to die!"

"Kill him!"

Yang Chen immediately waved his hand, and then his soul completely withdrew from Wusu's head. Wusu also woke up quickly. When he regained consciousness, his face became pale and he looked around, listening to the sound of people condemning him.

"No, don't kill me, don't kill me." Wusu realized what Yang Chen had done to him and what he had just said. He knew that his chances of survival were slim, so he immediately cried out.

However, at this point, no one had any pity for him. Yang Chen directly attacked, the thunderlight flashed, and Wusu was instantly killed.

Wusu died in Yang Chen's hands without any resistance.

After Wusu fell, when many Golden Crow Clan members looked at Yang Chen's face, they gradually became more apprehensive. Just now, they had been disrespectful to Yang Chen, and even if Yang Chen caught one of them to make an example, they had no way to fight back.

If it were someone else, they would have done so, but Yang Chen held back. He knew very well that now was not the time to do these things.

From the position of protecting Xiang Yue, he must prioritize Xiang Yue's safety above everything else!

With this in mind, Yang Chen directly said, "There's one more thing I haven't mentioned. Wusu has already opened communication with the Tiger Elephant Emperor, and when my appearance caught Wusu, the Tiger Elephant Emperor knew. So, if nothing unexpected happens, the Tiger Elephant Emperor may find us at any time.

We need to split up and leave immediately to avoid being caught by the Tiger Elephant Emperor."

Hearing this, all the Golden Crow Clan members broke out in a cold sweat.

"What, the Tiger Elephant Emperor could arrive at any time?"

It's ugly to say, but those who were sacrificed were all ambitious people of the Golden Crow Clan, while those who remained were slick and slippery types. They were the kind who would shrink back and cower in fear when it came to actually fighting. This was why they had survived until now. These people usually valued their own lives very much.

Hearing that the Tiger Elephant Emperor could arrive at any time, they immediately panicked and scattered.

As for leaving immediately, they would not hesitate.

"Follow the original plan to leave, Cai Yi and I will personally protect Xiang Yue. Who will join us?" Yang Chen said.

Hearing this, many Golden Crow Clan members looked at each other but didn't immediately step forward. Even a fool could see that Yang Chen had ruined the Tiger Elephant Emperor's plan, and the Tiger Elephant Emperor surely hated Yang Chen to the bone.

Yang Chen secretly shook his head, and only six Golden Crow Clan members stepped forward in the end.

As for this, Yang Chen had no complaints. He simply said, "In that case, let's split up into two groups, everyone, take care!"

After exchanging a few polite words, Yang Chen left with Cai Yi and Xiang Yue.

On the way, Xiang Yue spoke even less than before. It was not hard to see that she had been deeply hurt by Wusu's words and the behavior of the other Golden Crow Clan members.

She had never thought that those who once respected her so much would have such thoughts in their hearts.

"Their thoughts are just narrow-minded ideas. Indeed, you became a Saintess and enjoyed such treatment unconditionally, which is unfair in some sense. But have you ever thought that your becoming a Saintess was the choice of the clan? The Saintess is unique, and so are you. Only you can accomplish the task.

What you need to think about now is how to do your duty, not to be sentimental." Yang Chen slowly said.

Hearing this, Xiang Yue's body trembled slightly, and she said softly, "Thank you, Brother Yang, for your words. They've opened up my mind a lot."

Yang Chen laughed heartily, "Since you call me Brother Yang, it's my duty to help you. Speaking of which, there's still a problem we need to figure out now. Otherwise, on this journey, I'll still have trouble with peace of mind. Danger may be lurking at any time."

"What danger is there? You've already guessed their thoughts, and we've taken measures to deal with them. What else could be dangerous?" Cai Yi asked.

Yang Chen rubbed his eyebrows, "A danger you can see is not really the danger. Don't you find it strange, the same question still remains. Why hasn't the Tiger Elephant Emperor killed the Golden Crow Team when he clearly could have done so at any time?"

"Didn't Wusu just say that it was to torture Xiang Yue?" Cai Yi rolled her eyes.

"Do you believe that too?" Yang Chen chuckled.

"But you said it yourself. When he was in that state, everything he said was true, and it came from his memory. Have you forgotten?" Cai Yi said with wide eyes.

Yang Chen helplessly laughed, "Indeed, in that state, what he said was true, but that's just what he believed to be true. He thought that the Tiger Elephant Emperor wanted to torture Xiang Yue, so that's what he said. But the reality is, what the Tiger Elephant Emperor really thinks, what he knows, may not be true."

"So, Brother Yang means that the Tiger Elephant Emperor didn't kill me just for tormenting me, but it's just Wusu's idea and belief?" Xiang Yue said.

"Right." Yang Chen smiled. "You are much smarter than her."

"Hmph." Cai Yi glared with her eyes.

"Then why didn't the Tiger Elephant Emperor kill me?" Xiang Yue was very curious.

"That's something you have to ask yourself." Yang Chen said slowly.
