All Yu Clan members had heard of Xiang Shaoyun before. They were aware of the relationship between Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie. Some of them also sincerely wished to see the two together.
After all, Xiang Shaoyun had displayed impressive strength. He was much stronger than even Di Mie and was well matched with Yu Caidie. However, for a massive clan like the Yu Clan, one was rarely able to do as one wished. Thus, these people were helpless to help Xiang Shaoyun and Yu Caidie.
“Whoever his master is, we can’t let this slide!” demanded Di Mie unhappily.
He had thought that he was incredibly strong, yet he was completely helpless before Xiang Shaoyun. The sense of humiliation had greatly infuriated him.
“You are always free to challenge him,” replied Yu Huayan indifferently, causing Di Mie to be speechless.
If Di Mie could defeat Xiang Shaoyun, was there a need for him to wait for her permission to challenge Xiang Shaoyun?
“Do you remember what you said? You said that if I could defeat him, you would support my relationship with Caidie. But now you’re telling me to leave?” questioned Xiang Shaoyun coldly.
A slight trace of guilt appeared on Yu Huayan’s face as she said, “This is the clan’s decision. There is nothing I can do.”
“There is nothing you can do? What a fine choice of words,” said Xiang Shaoyun with disdain before he proceeded to walk away with Yu Caidie.
“Don’t force my hand.” Yu Huayan frowned as she stood in their path.
“Piss off,” Xiang Shaoyun snapped.
“You’re too arrogant. Let me capture you,” shouted a Yu Clan pseudo-God as he reached for Xiang Shaoyun.
His palm carried a massive might behind it and instantly reached Xiang Shaoyun. Liu Qingchen had finally lost his temper. He took a step forward, grabbed the palm, and crushed it.
“With this little strength of yours, you’re not qualified to touch my boss,” said Liu Qingchen with disdain.
“Let me see just what you’re capable of,” said the pseudo-God as he prepared to attack Liu Qingchen.
“Halt!” a Yu Clan youth suddenly called out.
The youth’s voice seemed to contain some sort of authority, causing the pseudo-God to stop moving. Even Yu Huayan looked over when she heard his voice. That youth was none other than Yu Jichuan, the little clan uncle from the Yu Clan. He looked about 17 or 18 years old, yet he had a pair of eyes that had seen through the vicissitudes of life, a pair of eyes that shouldn’t appear on such a young face.
“Let me deal with this,” said Yu Jichuan.
“Little clan uncle, this is a very important matter—” reminded the pseudo-God.
Yu Jichuan waved his hand and said, “I’ll shoulder all the consequences.” He looked at Yu Huayan and asked, “Huayan, you’re fine with this, right?”
“Of course. But I’m afraid that those fellows will disagree with your decision,” said Yu Huayan.
“A bunch of idiots who have disregarded the teachings of our ancestors. Why should I care about them?” declared Yu Jichuan.
Many Yu Clan members wore odd expressions upon hearing his words. Perhaps only the little clan uncle would dare to utter such rebellious words.
Yu Jichuan looked at Yu Caidie and asked, “Caidie, is he Xiang Dingtian?”
“Yes, he is,” Yu Caidie nodded heavily.
“No wonder,” said Yu Jichuan with a smile. He shifted his gaze to Xiang Shaoyun and said, “When we fought during our previous lives, I was beaten by the difference of one move. In this life, your cultivation level is lower than mine. If you can still defeat me, I’ll allow you to take Caidie away.”
“Who is he?” asked Xiang Shaoyun, completely ignoring Yu Jichuan.
Yu Caidie replied, “He’s Yu Jichuan.”
“Yu Jichuan?” Xiang Shaoyun sank into thought. When he remembered who Yu Jichuan was, he smiled and said, “So it’s you. In your previous life, you had failed to enter the Rebirth Realm. In this life, you’re still stuck. Looks like you’re not very talented, after all.”
Yu Jichuan raised his brow and said, “At least I’m doing better than you. You almost had your soul destroyed. In fact, I’m surprised to see that you have successfully reincarnated.”
“If even you survived, how would I have died?” said Xiang Shaoyun. “If you know what’s good for you, let me go with Caidie. You don’t want a repeat of history, right?”
“Nah, let’s do what we did. If you can defeat me, you can leave with her,” said Yu Jichuan as his aura started surging, revealing that he was already a Great Saint.
If he had appeared earlier, Di Mie wouldn’t be his match at all. The Yu Clan members became excited. They were aware that this little clan uncle had an extremely high status in the clan even though he wasn’t even 100 years old. For someone this young to become a Great Saint, he was an absolute genius in cultivation.
“Boss, let me deal with him. I’ll crush him,” said Liu Qingchen.
Xiang Shaoyun said, “If he’s fine with it, I don’t mind.”
“He will agree,” said Liu Qingchen confidently. He stepped forth and activated his Indestructible Avatar, revealing the aura of a Great Saint as he roared, “Do you dare to face me in a battle?”
Yu Jichuan looked at Xiang Shaoyun and asked, “Are you sure you want to let him decide the fate of your relationship with Caidie?”
“Qingchen, step back for now. I’ll have a talk with him,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he was truly hesitant of letting Liu Qingchen fight on his behalf. It was not that he did not believe in Liu Qingchen’s strength, but this matter was too important to him.
“If you really want to fight me, you will suffer a miserable defeat,” said Xiang Shaoyun. His soul clone appeared beside him and erupted with an extremely powerful aura.
After entering the fourth-stage Heaven Battling Realm, his soul clone had also reached the fourth-stage pseudo-God Realm. With his ability to punch above his class, he could fight even regular Rebirth Realm experts.
Yu Jichuan had a rather interesting expression when he saw the clone beside Xiang Shaoyun. The other Yu Clan members also had a similar reaction. They were all filled with disbelief.
Any Heaven Battling Realm expert could easily form a clone, but most clones would be similar in strength to the main body. However, that was not the case for Xiang Shaoyun. This was truly eye-opening for them.
Even Yu Huayan praised inwardly, Truly worthy of being ranked first on the Saintly Forest Ranking. No wonder he’s acting so fearlessly.
As for Di Mie, he was burning with envy as he thought, I must kill this bastard!
When Yu Jichuan recovered from his shock, he laughed and said, “Haha, I had thought that I was the only one with a soul clone stronger than my main body. Looks like you have done the same. Interesting.”
Someone who looked exactly like him appeared by his side. That was his soul clone, a pseudo-God Realm clone. The Yu Clan members grew even more excited.
“Truly worthy of being our little clan uncle. With that clone, not even Xiang Shaoyun would be his match.”
“With the little clan uncle around, the younger generation of our clan can hold our heads high.”
“Both of them are freaks.”
