Free Web NovelChapter 133: Chapter 133: Don’t You Regret This
However...
Lu Chao suddenly stepped forward and said indifferently, "Elder Lady Su, is it? It seems you all forgot how to speak before you left home. We’ve asked more than once—what is it you want?"
Why had such a huge conflict erupted?
It was because the members of the Saint Bone Family were all so high and mighty. They refused to answer, showing nothing but contempt for everyone present.
They showed up and immediately tried to take someone away by force. Without a clear explanation, who wouldn’t fight back?
But just as Lu Chao finished speaking...
The old maidservant’s eyes widened as she snapped, "Brat, how dare you speak to our Elder Lady like that! I’ll slap that mouth of yours."
With that, Elder Lady Su’s old maidservant actually charged straight for Lu Chao...
But Yin Ye, who stood upon the giant halberd, lashed out on the spot... SLAP!
A crisp crack resounded across the old maidservant’s face.
With a strange yelp, she was sent flying. The old maidservant clutched her face, staring at Yin Ye in disbelief. "You dare to strike me?"
At the same time, True Qi erupted from Elder Lady Su, Su Shangmo, and the others with a series of BOOMS as they furiously pointed at Yin Ye.
Elder Lady Su in particular roared on the spot, "Yin Ye, you whelp, you dare strike one of my people?"
Yin Ye coldly extended a finger, pointing at the old maidservant. "She was the one," he replied, "who first tried to strike someone from my Jilong Marquis’s Mansion."
His voice was commanding. Lu Chao glanced at Yin Ye in surprise...
Yin Qixing, who had just emerged from the crowd, was also a little surprised.
But he immediately understood. ’It seems the Marquis is truly prepared to accept Lu Chao, the one with the Life-taking Bone, and let him join the Jilong Marquis’s Mansion.’
Sure enough, Yin Ye added coolly, "He is one of my Jilong Marquis’s Mansion’s men. Is there a problem with how he speaks?"
Elder Lady Su’s face grew increasingly livid.
Yin Ye continued to press them. "Relying on your status as a Saint Bone Family, you think you can seize people as you please. You can’t even be bothered to have a civil conversation, so what’s wrong with people resisting you? If you have business, state it plainly. Don’t you understand that?"
The expressions on the faces of the Su Family members grew even more sour.
The old maidservant shrieked, "A bunch of trash! Do we really need to explain to them why we’re taking someone?"
It was pure contempt for the Descendants of Azure Flame, pure contempt for an illegitimate son.
"Are you saying that the men of my Jilong Marquis’s Mansion are trash?"
Yin Ye shot back, his aura instantly flaring. It wasn’t just True Qi, but the battle intent honed on the battlefield.
He, Marquis Jilong, was also an ever-victorious general.
"Yin Ye, do you intend to make an enemy of my Saint Bone Su Family?" Elder Lady Su couldn’t help but roar.
With a cold smile, Yin Ye lowered his head. "Elder Lady Su, you overstate things. I am merely protecting my people from being humiliated."
Following Yin Ye’s words, the scene fell deathly silent, yet the air crackled as if with unseen sparks.
Meanwhile, Yin Qixing had already stepped forward, as did Fan Jinhua and several veteran disciples of Azure Flame. They stood in a standoff against Elder Lady Su and her group, while the two thousand descendants of the Azure Flame Sect raised their weapons, their combined momentum soaring to the heavens.
Finally, Elder Lady Su spoke, her voice laced with frost...
"Good. Good. Very good."
"I was originally going to offer you a great fortunate encounter, but since you are now people of Marquis Jilong, there is no longer a need."
"We’re leaving!"
The moment she finished speaking, Elder Lady Su was already backing away toward her Beast Vehicle.
With Yin Ye now involved, her group was completely outmatched.
Yin Ye wouldn’t go so far as to kill them, but there was no way the Saint Bone Su Family could now forcibly take Cheng Chuming and his daughter.
Stopping just before her Beast Vehicle, Elder Lady Su turned back, her voice filled with unwilling resentment. "Cheng Chuming, you had a chance to return to the Su Family and become part of the Direct Lineage, to be formally acknowledged by your ancestors. You’re the one who threw it away."
She was still wondering if Cheng Chuming might suddenly grovel like a dog, kneeling and begging to return to the Saint Bone Su Family.
’If he did, it would be a perfect way to strike back at Yin Ye.’
However, Cheng Chuming, who was normally a rather mild-mannered man, stated bluntly, "I have not the slightest interest." fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
He had told Cheng Weishan that he had no desire to know who his birth father was, and he suspected the man was no good anyway.
The corner of Elder Lady Su’s mouth twitched. Becoming part of the Direct Lineage of the Saint Bone Su Family was a dream countless people would beg for and never achieve.
’And this piece of trash actually said he wasn’t interested.’
"Don’t you regret this."
Spitting out the words with hatred, Elder Lady Su ducked into the Beast Vehicle. Then, with a single command, she led her people away from Azure Flame Town.
Once they had departed, an uproar erupted once more within Azure Flame Town.
It was as if each of the Descendants of the Azure Flame Sect had won another great victory.
At that moment, Lu Chao led Cheng Yunsu over to Yin Ye and thanked him in a low voice, "Thank you for getting us out of trouble, Marquis."
Yin Ye floated down from his giant halberd.
He smiled and replied, "It was a small matter. But are you really sure about giving up the chance to become a disciple of the Saint Bone Su Family’s Direct Lineage?"
’I thought Elder Lady Su’s final words might tempt Lu Chao, but I didn’t expect his father-in-law to refuse so directly.’
Lu Chao shook his head and smiled. "We truly have no interest."
There was one more thing he didn’t say...
’Based on Elder Lady Su’s vicious nature alone, they would never want to have any connection with the Saint Bone Su Family.’
"As for you, Marquis," Lu Chao asked, changing the subject, "will this cause you any trouble?"
Yin Ye smiled, a nonchalant look on his face. "The Saint Bone Families are just a bunch of megalomaniacs who think their Saint Bone bloodline allows them to trample over everything. Don’t pay them too much mind."
Clearly, Yin Ye truly didn’t care much about the Saint Bone Su Family. He was, after all, the renowned Marquis Jilong.
"A Saint Bone is powerful, but it also depends on whose hands it is in. The level of a Heavenly Destiny Bone doesn’t mean everything."
"Once one reaches the Earth Bone level, they can begin to break the shackles of the True Qi Realm."
Lu Chao understood this point very well.
Those with a Mortal Bone would find it nearly impossible to reach the Postnatal Realm without a great fortunate encounter. The same was true for those with a Profound Bone trying to reach the Innate Realm.
But things started to change at the Earth Bone level.
A person with an Earth Bone had a chance of reaching the Transformation Realm, or even higher. This was even more true for someone with a Heavenly Bone. Heaven and Earth were vast and boundless; a Heavenly Bone wielder was already an existence of extreme talent, capable of directly shattering the barriers between realms.
History was rife with examples of those with a Heavenly Bone defeating those with a Saint Bone.
Aside from the Great Wu Royal Family, why couldn’t the other members of the Six Great Saint Bone Families make any major waves in this land?
Because they could never truly dominate those with a Heavenly Bone.
"Not every Saint Bone Martial Artist is as exceptional as the Great Martial Emperor Star, Lu Chao," Yin Ye added in a low voice.
The higher the Destiny Bone Level, the greater the Martial Arts Talent. frёewebηovel.cѳm
However, the difficulty of Cultivation also increased, requiring great wisdom, immense willpower, and a powerful Cultivation Technique to match.
Suddenly, Yin Ye changed the subject. "Take the Life-taking Bone, for example. I’ve never believed it to be some sort of disaster."
After he spoke, Yin Ye looked deeply at Lu Chao. His words were, of course, meant for him.
Lu Chao, however, replied softly, "But the Life-taking Bone is rejected by the world. That is a fact that is difficult to change."
Taking a deep breath, Yin Ye suddenly said, "Lu Chao, would you be interested in taking a trip with me to the Dragon Flame Royal Capital? I have an old friend there, a man known as the Destiny Bone Madman. It is said he can conceal the aura of a Life-taking Bone."
At these words, Cheng Yunsu, Cheng Chuming, and Fan Jinhua all looked up, their faces filled with surprised delight.
