Gong Qinyin was stunned when she heard the voice. She had thought that she would never hear this voice ever again. When it reappeared, she wondered if she was hallucinating. Even Zi Changhe was wondering the same.
Everyone looked toward where the voice came from. Up in the sky not far away, a group of people had appeared. The person speaking was the handsome youth seated atop a silver dragonsnake. A bunch of weird-looking people were behind the youth. At one glance, it was obvious that none of them were regular humans.
The group took only a few seconds to arrive above the Cloud Margin Pavilion. Instantly, an oppressive aura pressed down on everyone below. This group was none other than Xiang Shaoyun’s group, who were on their way back to Xia Hamlet. Lin Ha and Xu Ziyang instantly felt the pressure coming from above, and they started wondering who these newcomers were.
“Who are you? This is the Dragon Society’s personal affair. Please do not interfere,” said Xu Ziyang, who immediately made his background known.
Xiang Shaoyun leaped off Money’s back, ignored Xu Ziyang, and walked toward Lin Ha as he demanded, “Release him.”
When Lin Ha met Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes, he had an illusion that a dragon and a tiger were roaring at him. His heart shook, and his body trembled. Without realizing it, he loosened his grip and allowed Zi Changhe to break free.
Cough! Cough!
After regaining his freedom, Zi Changhe started coughing. It was obvious that he had suffered quite a bit being held by his neck.
Xiang Shaoyun came beside Zi Changhe and asked, “Senior brother, are you fine?”
“N-Not dead yet. Kid, you’re finally back? I thought you were dead!” said Zi Changhe as he lifted his head and smiled.
“My life isn’t that valuable, so nobody is taking it anytime soon,” replied Xiang Shaoyun. “So, what’s going on here?”
Before Zi Changhe could say anything, a burst of wind rushed over as a figure jumped on Xiang Shaoyun.
He was about to dodge aside when he saw who the person was. He stood still and accepted the incoming hug. The person was none other than Gong Qinyin.
“Shaoyun, I did it! I managed to enter the Emperor Realm! I managed to meet your condition!” said Gong Qinyin. When she entered the Emperor Realm, Xiang Shaoyun was the person she wanted to share the news with the most.
She had thought that Xiang Shaoyun would never appear here again. Since he had appeared, she would not let go of him. She had missed him greatly over the years. Xiang Shaoyun felt somewhat awkward. After all, Tuoba Wan’er was still looking at him high up in the sky.
“Um, good to hear. Continue working hard, and you will grow even stronger. For now, tell me what’s going on,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he gently pushed Gong Qinyin off him.
“He was trying to force me to become his woman,” said Gong Qinyin as she shot Lin Ha a glance.
Xiang Shaoyun was displeased to hear that. He was already unhappy seeing Lin Ha holding Zi Changhe by his throat. It seemed like the person had actually set his eyes on Gong Qinyin as well.
Although he had separated from Gong Qinyin for years, he still regarded her in a friendly manner. With her throwing herself at him in public, it was clear she still felt the same about him. As a man, he naturally had to take care of her.
Xiang Shaoyun looked at Lin Ha again. Instantly, a sense of disgust rose within him. He said, “Why don’t you take a look in the mirror? You’re dreaming of making Qinyin your woman? Why don’t you get a pile of shit and eat it?”
Lin Ha felt greatly humiliated. He met Xiang Shaoyun’s eyes and snapped, “Who do you think you are? I am the fifth crown prince of the Dragon Society. This is the Dragon Society’s turf. If you’re smart, get lost. Otherwise, you will die a horrible death.”
Lin Ha could sense that the youth before him was definitely not a simple individual. In fact, the youth was giving off massive pressure. However, the Dragon Society was the local tyrant. Members of regular organizations would need to show them respect.
“What the heck is the Dragon Society even?” said Xiang Shaoyun nonchalantly as he dug his ear. He pointed to the ground and demanded, “Kneel down and apologize to my senior brother and Qinyin. I’ll let this slide if you do. Otherwise, don’t blame me for showing no mercy.”
At this time, Xu Ziyang rushed over, grabbed Lin Ha’s arm, and said, “Fifth crown prince, we need to leave. Do not get involved with them.”
He could sense the prowess of Xiang Shaoyun’s group. He knew that things weren’t looking good for them. It was better for them to retreat first.
“Did I allow you to leave?” said Xiang Shaoyun with a frown.
“Don’t push your luck. We’re Dragon Society members,” replied Xu Ziyang with a tone that was neither servile nor overbearing.
“You keep saying the same thing over and over again. Apart from claiming you’re from the Dragon Society, what else can you say?” said Xiang Shaoyun. He then raised his voice, “I said kneel down. Are you deaf?”
“Who do you think you are? You really think we’re afraid of you?” shouted Lin Ha furiously.
There were so many people here, and they were still looking all impressive and overbearing just earlier. Now that they were going to run away in fear, he felt extremely gloomy. Right after he finished his words, Xiang Shaoyun rushed over and slapped him.
Pa! Pa!
Lin Ha wasn’t able to react at all. Not even Xu Ziyang could see Xiang Shaoyun coming. After slapping Lin Ha twice, Xiang Shaoyun grabbed Lin Ha by the throat like how Lin Ha had grabbed Zi Changhe. Xiang Shaoyun coldly said, “In my eyes, you are nothing.”
Bang!
Xiang Shaoyun heavily slammed Lin Ha down, planting his face into the ground. At this point, Xu Ziyang could no longer stay calm. He roared and slammed his palm toward Xiang Shaoyun.
Xu Ziyang did not dare to hold back any strength. It was extremely important that he defeat Xiang Shaoyun with this one attack. With his foot on Lin Ha, Xiang Shaoyun casually faced Xu Ziyang’s attack with a punch.
Instead of obtaining victory in one hit like he did with Chen Jiayan earlier, Xu Ziyang felt a great pain spread through his arm as though all his bones had shattered instantly. With a miserable wail, he clasped his arm and hurriedly retreated.
“Since you’re unwilling to apologize, don’t bother leaving,” said Xiang Shaoyun as he grabbed Xu Ziyang.
Caught against his will, Xu Ziyang suffered the same fate as Lin Ha.
“You dare to act all arrogant here with just the two of you? When you’re this useless? I really wonder how the Dragon Society teaches their disciples,” said Xiang Shaoyun with scorn.
“Y-You better release us, or you will regret it!” said Lin Ha, still unyielding.
Xu Ziyang finally relented. “Your distinguished self, we can always talk this out. We are also willing to apologize.”
