"Pah, what a load of bull! In the Dongfang family, we only die standing up, we never live kneeling. You want us to hand over Mian'er to beg for our lives? Let me tell you, that's utter nonsense from your whole family, tui~!" Even with his strength suppressed, Dongfang Yuanyan couldn't change his fiery temper and started cursing at the newcomer.
Hearing this, the person on the other side became furious, rushed over, kicked Dongfang Yuanyan to the ground, and then took out a whip and lashed him out fiercely.
"Hahaha, you little wench, hit me harder! Are you tickling me?" Dongfang Yuanyan, without any spiritual energy to protect him, was no different from an ordinary person. Despite coughing up blood from the slap, he still laughed loudly.
Seeing that Dongfang Yuanyan was about to be killed if the fight continued, the head of the Dongfang family threw himself on his son without hesitation, his aged body tightly protecting him.
One by one, members of the Dongfang family surrounded them, trying to shield the Dongfang family head and Dongfang Yuanyan from the whip, but they were all kicked to the ground.
Seeing this, Dongfang Mian's nails dug tightly into her flesh, blood sliding down her fingers. Unable to bear it any longer, she dropped her disguise and rushed out.
As Dongfang Mian rushed out, a fire dragon shot straight toward the chest of the assailant. In reality, he was only a peak Spirit King, and in the past, he wouldn't even have been qualified to meet the head of the Dongfang family.
The fire dragon struck him squarely in the chest, and he was burned to ashes before he could even let out a painful roar.
Several more fire dragons shot out, and all those who had revealed themselves followed in their leader's footsteps, turning into a sky full of ashes.
Dongfang Mian, her eyes bloodshot with rage, stood trembling before the Dongfang family head and Dongfang Yuanyan, her fire-attribute spiritual energy uncontrollably surging out of her body.
"Mian'er, Mian'er, your grandfather and uncle are alright. You need to control yourself quickly, or you'll go berserk," the head of the Dongfang family said hastily, ignoring his own pain.
Dongfang Yuanyan also endured the pain and stood up, pulling Dongfang Mian into his arms, covering her eyes with his large hand to comfort her.
Dongfang Mian quickly calmed down. Looking at her uncle, who had been beaten beyond recognition, tears streamed down her face. With trembling fingers, she took out top-grade pills and fed them to Dongfang Yuanyan and the head of the Dongfang family.
Then she distributed some healing pills to everyone, and only when she saw that their complexions had returned to a rosy state did Dongfang Mian feel relieved.
He picked up the hand of the Eastern family head and carefully examined the silver threads on his hand, but could not find any clues.
The head of the Dongfang family affectionately patted Dongfang Mian's head and said, "This was personally sealed by the ancestor of the Tianwu Dynasty. It's the Tianwu Dynasty royal family's secret treasure, the Spirit Binding Lock. You can't open it. Be good, listen to your grandfather. Go back to the Vermilion Bird Academy quickly. The Dean will protect you. Then, find an opportunity to go to the Upper Realm with Yan Lin and never come back."
"Grandpa," Dongfang Mian shook her head, "I won't leave. If I can't even guarantee your safety, what's the point of me going to the Upper Realm?"
"No, Mian'er, you don't know, the two great dynasties..." The head of the Dongfang family became anxious when he saw that Dongfang Mian was unmoved.
"So you are Dongfang Mian. How dare you lay a hand on the princes and princesses of our two great dynasties!" Just as the head of the Dongfang family was trying his best to persuade them, two old voices rang out from afar, followed by an oppressive aura that made it hard to breathe.
This aura is very familiar to Dongfang Mian; it's the aura of a Spirit Venerable. It seems that the two great dynasties still have a strong foundation, as they sent out their Spirit Venerable ancestors so soon after he appeared.
