Chapter 36 (First Update) [VIP]
The sky darkened, and lightning flashed, like the weather before an impending storm. However, Yin Chu Jiu quickly realized that it was not a sign of rain, but a weather change caused by the powerful forces of humankind.
Because the lightning and dark clouds were only above the Gong family's residence, and not elsewhere. Secondly, the process of change was almost negligible, which is not the normal change expected during a rainstorm. Finally, the lightning was moving rapidly, heading towards the Gong family's residence.
Rolling thunderclouds surged in, carrying boundless power. The gale-force winds they created nearly lifted the Gong family's buildings off the ground. Finally, the thunderclouds stopped above the Gong family's residence, the sky darkening as if about to crush them down.
"An attack! Quickly inform the young master! An attack!"
Not only Yin Chu Jiu realized this phenomenon, but others also noticed that this was not a normal weather change, and they were all thrown into a panic.
"Don't go, let me out!" Yin Chu Jiu stretched out a hand from the iron cage and grabbed a guard who was about to run away. He said quickly, "I am the person your young master used to lure Yue Ling. You can't leave me here. Let me out now."
The guard struck Yin Chu Jiu's wrist with his baton, sweating profusely. "Get out of the way!"
The blow was very powerful. Yin Chu Jiu felt pain and loosened her grip on the guard's hand. The guard seized the opportunity to break free and ran away.
How ruthless!
Yin Chu Jiu couldn't help but curse under his breath, clutching his hand and muttering to himself which powerful figure Gong Yun Xi had offended to drag him into this mess. He didn't want to die; he hadn't even seen Yue Ling yet.
Squatting halfway inside the iron cage, Yin Chu Jiu reached out to grab the lock on the cage.
To prevent him from escaping, Gong Yunxi wrapped the iron cage with chains several times. Even if a cultivator was imprisoned inside, he would not be able to get out easily if his level was not high enough.
Yin Chu Jiu frantically circulated the human pearl within his body, channeling all the energy within it into his palm. When the energy was abundant, he gripped the lock and pulled hard.
A few minutes later, the extracted energy was used up, but the iron lock remained motionless.
asshole!
Gong Yunxi is a bastard!
However… he wrote this bastard's work. Yin Chu Jiu couldn't help but cover his face. Then he calmed down and looked around to see if he could find a place to hide. That unknown expert was after the Gong family. If he hid well, he wouldn't be found and would be safe.
If he can get through this hurdle, he can find a way to leave.
After thinking for a moment, Yin Chu Jiu stood up and slammed into the iron bars in front of him, knocking the entire iron cage down. He rolled around inside, like a ball rolling forward.
Although it was a mess, the results were obvious.
Fortunately, all those people went to deal with that powerful figure, so there was no one guarding him at this moment.
Amidst the flying sand and stones, Yin Chu Jiu cursed under his breath as he pushed the iron cage forward.
He didn't notice that the thunderclouds in the sky were growing increasingly dark, and at the same time, the thunderclouds on the edge of the Gong family's territory were slowly moving towards him.
Gong Yunxi was taking a bath when she received news that someone had broken in. The weather in Yundu City was quite hot, and she couldn't stand the heat after being outside for a while, sweating profusely.
Therefore, he did not notice the weather change above the Gong family's residence, nor did he know that a strong wind had risen on the flat ground outside.
The person who notified him was Gong Cheng, the captain of the Gong family's guard team, who was also the leader who went to capture Yin Chu Jiu before. Gong Cheng was not the most powerful, but he was capable and considerate, so he got the position of captain.
"Young Master, someone is attacking us. He has already broken through the gate. Elder Chen is holding them off. Hurry up and put on your clothes, I'll take you away." Gong Cheng closed the door, went to get clothes, and handed them to Gong Yunxi, who was still in the bathtub, saying anxiously.
Gong Yunxi instinctively took the clothes, but the next moment she threw them away and cursed, "What nonsense! What do you mean by attacking our Gong family? Who dares to cause trouble for our Gong family in Yundu City!"
Gong Yunxi did not believe that anyone had broken into the Gong family, nor could she possibly believe it.
He had just met and held secret talks with several powerful families in Yundu City a few days ago. He agreed not to participate in the allocation of resources in Yundu City in exchange for those families not causing him any trouble.
In Yundu City, besides those few families, who else can attack the Gong family?
Gong Yunxi was furious at the disbelief, but seeing that Gong Cheng's anxious appearance wasn't entirely a lie, he decided to go out and see who dared to make a move against their Gong family.
As he got out of the bathtub, he dressed and instructed Gong Cheng, "Go and inform the other three families to come and help me. The reward is three ninth-tier magic beads."
The ninth-tier magic bead is the highest-level inner bead of magical beasts in the Illusionary Demon Continent. An ordinary one can sell for an astronomical price, and even a family doesn't have many magic beads of this level.
Gong Yunxi was able to obtain these few stones only because his father from the main family pleaded with them to ensure his safety.
Gong Cheng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, then turned and ran out of the house. Although his young master was a playboy, he was still a playboy from a prominent family, and he knew how to handle such urgent matters.
After getting dressed, Gong Yunxi went out. As soon as he stepped out of the house, a gust of wind blew into his face, and his freshly washed body was covered in sand and dust.
His face immediately darkened; it seemed that Gong Cheng was not lying after all.
Gong Yunxi thought this, but after a moment's hesitation, he turned and walked towards the gate. He wanted to see who was so audacious!
The distance from the backyard to the front yard wasn't far; he soon arrived at the front yard where the battle was raging. Meanwhile, the closer he got to the heart of the fighting, the dark clouds overhead grew heavier, and the thunder and lightning around him grew louder.
The rumbling sound was incessant.
Moreover, what was described as a battle was more like a one-sided beating. He watched as the guards surrounding the city were thrown out one after another, landing on the ground with dull thuds like kites with broken strings.
It's a tough one.
Gong Yunxi paused, realizing that this person seemed different from what he had imagined. He decided to follow Gong Cheng's advice and hide until the other three families arrived before coming out.
However, before he could turn around, a figure suddenly flew towards him and crashed heavily in front of him, blocking his way.
He looked closely and was immediately startled.
The person who was thrown over was Elder Chen. At this moment, Elder Chen was no longer the arrogant man he had been before. His face was bruised and swollen, and he was spitting out blood and foam. He had lost consciousness.
What level was that expert? He even managed to beat Elder Chen, who was at the fifth level of Earth Pearl, to such a state.
The sound of rustling footsteps sounded behind him, both light and heavy. Light because of his powerful abilities, and heavy because the person seemed to be filled with anger.
The footsteps stopped, and he heard a hoarse, incredibly dark voice, "Give Yin Chu Jiu back to me."
Yin Chu Jiu?
Yin Chu Jiu!
Is this powerful figure here for Yin Chu Jiu?
The name Yin Chu Jiu shocked Gong Yunxi, so much so that he momentarily forgot that the powerful figure behind him could easily take his life. He turned around abruptly and saw a handsome young man standing behind him. The young man had dark eyes, tightly pursed lips, and long hair that moved without wind, as if a demon god had descended to earth.
"You, you, you..." Gong Yunxi stammered, unable to utter a complete sentence.
He tried to speak, but the boy in front of him had lost patience, or rather, he had never had patience. He curled the corner of his mouth, raised his hand and knocked Gong Yunxi unconscious. As he fell, he grabbed his hair and dragged him along.
The boy dragged Gong Yunxi forward, and the other guards of the Gong family around them did not dare to make any move when they saw this.
Daring not to attack, they could only watch as the boy dragged Gong Yunxi and stormed into the Gong family with unstoppable momentum.
Gong Yunxi's scalp throbbed with pain, causing him to slowly wake up. When he opened his eyes, he found himself being dragged forward by his hair. He was awake, and the boy noticed, but the boy acted as if he hadn't, continuing to drag him along.
After only a few steps, Gong Yunxi was in so much pain that she burst into tears.
He asked between tears streaming down his face, "Who are you? Why are you bullying me? Do I look that easy to bully?"
"Let me go, and I can give you so much, so you'll never have to worry about food or clothing."
He made many promises, but none of them moved the boy. After a while, the boy asked him again, "Tell me, where is Yin Chu Jiu?"
Yin Chu Jiu... Damn it! What a troublemaker! I should have just left him be!
I don't know what his relationship is with this boy.
Gong Yunxi cursed inwardly, but still honestly told the boy Yin Chujiu his location in fits and starts.
Gong Yunxi cursed inwardly, while the young man was extremely satisfied. He smirked and quickened his pace toward the backyard, while simultaneously increasing the force with which he dragged Gong Yunxi.
He didn't care that Gong Yunxi was being dragged around and screaming, covered in mud, and had countless bruises under his clothes. He just punched Gong Yunxi to shut him up, and then his attention was entirely focused on finding Yin Chu Jiu.
The boy seemed somewhat abnormal, not only because of the immense power he had suddenly gained, but also because of his unstable mental state. His dark eyes held a deep crimson hue, and the power within him was uncontrollable; as he walked, the leaking power caused destruction along the way—a sign of insufficient mental control.
However, the boy seemed oblivious to everything. The closer he got to the garden, the more unstable his strength and mental power became. Gong Yunxi was terrified. He was getting closer to the boy, and that power was mercilessly affecting him as well.
Just when Gong Yunxi thought he was going to be killed, the boy stopped, and his strength and spirit were no longer so violent.
He lifted his swollen eyelids to look and saw the boy standing in the garden, his gaze fixed on a corner of the garden, which was where Yin Chu Jiu was.
Gong Yunxi subconsciously went to check on Yin Chu Jiu, only to find that Yin Chu Jiu wasn't staying put at all, but was pushing the iron cage around as if trying to escape.
Damn, that's some seriously brilliant ideas!
Gong Yunxi was filled with hatred, but he had no time to spare, because in the next moment, the boy released his hair, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and with a swift movement, landed in front of the iron cage where Yin Chujiu was still rolling around.
Then, he felt a pain in the back of his neck and lost consciousness again.
Yue Ling threw Gong Yunxi aside, squatted down, grabbed the iron cage, and stared gently at the boy inside who was stunned to see him. "I'm here."
Yue Ling reached out and stroked Yin Chu Jiu's dirty face, his eyes filled with darkness and tenderness.
Yin Chu Jiu blinked and asked tremulously, "Yue Ling?"
Yue Ling nodded. "It's me."
"Yue Ling?" Yin Chu Jiu blinked again.
“It’s me,” Yue Ling nodded again.
He gripped the iron lock and yanked it off with all his might. Then he pulled the still dazed boy out, and then hugged the boy tightly around the waist, as if he were holding a treasure he had lost and found again.
We're back. Compiled by the Yuxi team. Please stay tuned.
His treasure has returned.
Yue Ling held Yin Chu Jiu tightly, his heart, which had been pounding violently with anger and unease, finally calmed down as he smelled the scent of the boy in his arms.
"Wait, I'll avenge you," he said in a hoarse voice to the boy in his arms.
This wasn't a discussion, but a notification. So after he finished speaking, he released him, turned around, and slapped the head of the unconscious Gong Yunxi hard. That slap contained immense power. In an instant, Gong Yunxi's whole body trembled, her eyes widened, she spat out a mouthful of blood, and then collapsed.
"He won't die, but he won't live either. He'll become a living dead, lying in bed without any dignity, unable to take care of himself. He'll wake up and rationally watch himself being served to the toilet. Everyone will see his most pathetic side."
After saying that, he hugged Yin Chu Jiu tightly, soared into the air, and left the Gong family. Before the other families arrived, he vanished without a trace.
